“Why do you need new batteries?” you may ask me. Well, it is because of one of my FlashLights died and the other one is slowly dimming. Okay, my dead FlashLight isn’t just dead. It is totally destroyed, and it will take a lot more than new batteries to fix it. Let me go ahead and describe the circumstances that lead to the death of my FlashLight.

If you read my last blog post, you probably know two things. One, I pretty much hated Legend of Everfree. Two, Rainbow Rocks ranked surprisingly low on my list of favorite Equestria Girls movies despite how popular it is in the fandom. For the record, I enjoyed Rainbow Rocks. The only reason why it’s ranked so low on the list is because I honestly enjoyed the other two movies better.

I would like to start by ordering the movies from my most favorite to my least favorite along with a list of adjectives that I would use to describe each movie.

1. The Friendship Games: fun, exciting, relatable, inspiring
2. Equestria Girls: inspiring, delightful, funny, cute
3. Rainbow Rocks: exciting, unsettling, epic, triumphant
4. The Legend of Everfree: disturbing and depressing

Okay, so after a watched this episode, I looked up what TVTropes had to say about it, and the Shout-Out section mentioned something about a similar activity called the Pinewood Derby. It mentions that the derby is done by Cub Scouts and that the derby has a bit of a bad reputation for having overcompetitive dads take over designing and making the cars. I also noticed that the episode was written by Ed Valentine, who I’m guessing is male.

Okay, so I have this fanfiction series that I love called the Royal Canterlot Family series by CartoonNerd12 and KidatHeart5. It’s basically a fairy tale AU series reimagining the Mane 6 and the CMC as the daughters of Celestia. I have a total soft spot for fairy tales, so it quickly became my favorite fanfiction series ever.

Okay, I went into this episode with an open mind. Sure, I was a little apprehensive because of Trixie. I know she has a ton of fans, but I’m not really one of them. According to something that I read on the internet, a number of fans were worried that this episode was going to be a rehash of “What About Discord?,” which was infamous for making Twilight look like a terrible friend. I, on the other hand, thought that this episode was going to be about being careful about choosing friends

As I watched and reflected on the season 6 premiere, I looked for anything that either strengthened or weakened my headcanon. So far, I was not able to find much that weakened my headcanon. However, I did find quite a bit of information that supported it.

Wow! That was some premiere. It was unexpected, enjoyable, and surprisingly thought-provoking. When we last left off in season 5, Twilight had talked Starlight into becoming her student in friendship. Because of this, the first course of action that I took (once I was done gushing over how heart-meltingly adorable the new baby was) was to compare and contrast Starlight in season 5 with Starlight in the season 6 premiere. Of course, I noticed immediately that unlike in season 5, Starlight

In the closing paragraph of my last post, I conjured the most unsympathetic backstory I could possibly think of in order to test the limits of my desire to see Starlight Glimmer redeemed. I ended the paragraph by giving my grudging approval for an even more unsympathetic Starlight’s redemption and by questioning this version of Starlight’s psychological stability. After further thought, I realized that even with her canon backstory, Starlight Glimmer may have some psychological issues to

In my last post, I talked how Mr. Scorcher’s review of the season finale inspired some deep thoughts about Starlight Glimmer as a character. Well, while I was writing the last post, I re-watched his review just to make sure I was representing his opinions accurately. While I was doing this, a statement that he made caught my attention. According to him, people only want to see characters redeemed if they are able to sympathize with them.
