Well, some things to be said about this episode.

1. I still don't like Discord, hurray! I don't particularly like his personality, as I find it to be extremely grating, and one with too much power like Discord is someone I generally would not tolerate having around. I still don't understand why people like him, as all he does only causes trouble, which someone can hopefully clarify for me.

2. A crystal guard! Look at all that bling.

Or: Shitty First Drafts by Anne Lamott.

We all make them. Sometimes we think those better than us don't. They do.

Some of you may be writing. Some of you may be procrastinating from writing. I know I'm the latter. So if you feel the need for a break or just want to procrastinate while still feeling you've accomplished something related to writing today, here you go.

I'm actually surprised that the writers decided to portray the Wonderbolts in a bit of a scummy light in this episode, though from the general tone of how it was portrayed, Spitfire and Fleetfoot didn't seem too set on it (you know, aside from the whole jibe about Dash picking to join the winners near the end), and it seemed like Soarin didn't seem to care (good old carefree Soarin). I'm even more surprised that the Wonderbolts of all ponies would resort to trying to poach a member from another

It's rather interesting how there always seems to be a profound lack of variety in names for the humans in HiE stories.

A continuation of the previous blog post, this excerpt is from the second draft of the story where I wanted to write a story from a pilot’s point of view.

Success is measured in blood; yours or your enemy’s.

Rarity Takes Manehattan was okay. Nothing much to say about it, but I felt like posting this.

Yay, Flutterbat! Someone needs to write a comedy story where Fluttershy now has to reclassify her citizenship status to a minority, and have of Luna's batponies come down to Ponyville to induct her into their group, only for them to find out that she's actually a pegasus and not a batpony, and many shenanigans ensue. Also: Fluttershy slowly begins her descent into madness as she's now part fruit bat, and works to hide her increasingly dangerous addiction to fruit from her friends, nearly

Well, what is there to say about this episode? It was fairly self-contained and wasn't outstanding in many regards. Though Fluttershy being the Hulk was practically a given. Oh, and the fact that Equestria has enchanted interactive comics (I'm surprised that no one has capitalized on that yet).

And for Gates to Renascence: I had hoped that I would be finished with the chapter by this Wednesday, but progress has been slow. Why?

Or: Scootaloo is implied to not be an orphan.

This episode wasn't really great, to be honest. A lot of the time was seemingly spent on pointless things, and it only seemed to move along once it was already near the end. I thought it was boring enough to the point where I ended up browsing online and just listening to it in the background hoping something interesting would happen.

So... she's real. Along with Ahuizotl, and most certainly many other numerous relics and artifacts within Equestria. Very interesting.

Good food for thought for Of Treasures and Darkness. In any case, I found it amusing that A.K. Yearling/Daring Do doesn't like the publicity that resulted from, you know, publicizing her adventures.
