OK, this is driving me nuts. I can't find anything in the FAQ about it so I'm hoping someone knows.

How do the sidebar rankings work?

If you are a fan of Discord (and if you are not, I am impressed that you tolerate me well enough to bother reading my blog :-)), read Starbreaker by Browneyedbagel. Really. Go do it right now.

Need to know more or less as soon as possible and I don't have time to rewatch a whole movie: did Spike ever send a message back to the prime universe while he was on the other side of the portal in Equestria Girls?

This is my story. This is the story of how I, an ordinary human woman, got caught up in a world of crazy fanfic where no one could keep the persons straight and they shifted randomly between first, second and third.

So I had this dream, most of which had to do with my old high school instituting dollar tolls on the staircases, but that's neither here not there. In the dream, someone explained to me that a vasectomy is a small draconequus.

I must say, I can certainly imagine why any guy, confronted with Discord as a child, might consider getting a vasectomy, but actually calling a draconequus child a vasectomy seems like it's going a bit far.

I have been encountering a lot of hype for the fact that Discord supposedly gets a villain song this season, and reportedly, it will be the episode this Saturday. Other fans appear to be psyched. I am not. I believe it will be horrible, so gut-wrenchingly bad you want to put earmuffs on, or shrivel up in sympathetic embarrassment. My reasons are:
