Of course, plenty of people have their own reasons for liking Miss Walleyes, but I think I've hit on one of them. The Mane 6 (and especially Twilight) are, well, pretty gifted ponies, and privileged too - oh, not that they don't work plenty hard for their success, but they were never going to be "just another pony" from the moment they bonded to the Elements, and several - maybe all - are exceptional individuals besides. Derpy, on the other hand, is an everypony, more notable for her

The Royal Messenger Service has been part of various arrangements over the centuries. Once it and the Office of Public Proclamations - which now also handles most press liason work for the Crown and the government - were two wings of the same pegasus, so to speak.

First I'll cover each episode individually, then I'll talk about what I get from them as a

So, as the post suggests, the Earth has circled the Sun three whole times since I joined this site - and a full eleven since I became a fan of the show which inspired it. So maybe a good time (if there is one) for me to blather on about my journey for a bit to anyone who cares.
