This is the Season Six Finale, and I have to admit this was really good as it did a fantastic job wrapping up the season's main plot points very well and gave us more world-building with the Changelings. I mainly liked how it was centered around Starlight Glimmer, as most of the episodes focused on her dealing with her past and making amends, and this was the ultimate challenge for her not to abuse her powers while being in charge. The main plot in the first half revolves around this issue as

This is another episode I felt like abit out of place, but I did enjoy watching it as I relate to Vapor Trail a lot. The idea of this episode is mainly centered around two ponies: a shy, somewhat nervous mare named Vapor Trail and a stallion Pegasus, who is rather full of himself named Sky Stinger. The two usually work as a team as new cadets training to be a part of the Wonderbolt Academy, but later in the episode, it's revealed that Sky Stinger is only good at flying because Vapor Trail is

This episode is one that I would not expect to be in season six, but it was one of my favorite episodes in the season, given how it gives us some backstory to the Apples, which I honestly enjoy when an episode focuses on the Apple family. The episode is basiclly a fable to teach Apple Bloom about telling lies and how Applejack got herself into a heap of trouble lying to Filthy Rich about selling him some Apple Cider when Granny is strict about it being sold only on their farm due to

This episode was odd but good, as it felt like the first time we saw actual conflict between the mane six in a while. I felt like this maybe would work in earlier seasons, but seeing the Mane Six still have conflict with each other despite being friends for a few years now shows they still have issues with each other, and it makes their relationship feel more natural. So basiclly, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Applejack went on an outing on a boat, which ended up getting sunk, and then they all blame

This episode is one of the more interesting episodes in season six. Weird enough, Starlight Glimmer wasn't in this season all that often despite her being the former antagonist staying in Ponyville. It's odd that we don't see her progress through friendship lessons like Twilight did in Season One. This would've helped, in my opinion, with her character development, but besides that, this episode is basically Starlight's version of Lesson Zero, where she tries using a spell to help her achieve a

This particular episode wasn't one that I would have guessed would work, but it did as it centers around "Flim and Flam," who have to be the most interesting "B" villains in the show. This time, The scam artists aren't antagonists but victims, as they and some other show ponies are being conned by Gladmane, the former owner of Las Pegasus, into fighting with each other, so they remain under his influence. This is why Applejack and Fluttershy were sent to Las Pegasus, as they came there to solve

This episode is one I really enjoyed a lot as it's about a fun character named Gabby. Gabby is a young, eccentric griffin who is curious and inquisitive in nature. Her infatuation with the Cutie Mark Crusaders and her determination to get a cutie mark is something that is unlike any griffin we've seen so far; most of them are quite angry, greedy, and selfish in nature, so it's quite a shock to see one so spry and selfless. Despite her desire to get a cutie mark, she's more concerned about

I am giving a quick update. Something happened, and I'm not getting deployed. I will be staying in the States for the foreseeable future. For now, the last blog I posted about my story schedule remains the same. Overall, I am just getting back to being on a day shift and overall less stress, so it helps me get back into a mood for writing. For Winter from January to March, I'll focus on just finishing my incompleted stories. But happy New Years! My main resolution is to finish my season five

So, I didn't get to everything I wanted to do this year, but that's fine. For the past three months, I've been working a night shift again, which has really screwed up my internal clock and really focused on school. So, writing is always going to be the last thing on my mind before the rest of my other responsibilities. But I'm happy to have finally finished Lucky Horseshoes. But 2024 is going to be interesting as I have been selected to go on deployment again; yay! If this happens, I will
