Because I forgot some, and had some more since yesterday.

Never read aloud from old books. It always ends poorly. You'll curse yourself or swap your friends' cutie marks or something like that.

The Everfree Forest has sure gotten safer since the Tree of Harmony was restored to full power.

Is anybody else wondering whether the book is indestructible? Because if so, I think Spike's going to regret swallowing it.
But maybe the magic will just form a new book instead.

I was kind of hoping Spike would have to break his promise. But maybe that's just me.

Which is totally unrelated to my previous blog post. Also it has spoilers for today's episode. Don't read this if you haven't watched "Trade Ya" yet.

Apparently indentured servitude is legal in Equestria.

Actually, it's kind of unclear whether Equestria has a code of laws at all. It could be all tradition and royal decree.

For the purposes of this blog post, I shall define "bestiality" as "sex between a sapient being and a non-sapient being," rather than the more conventional "sex between a human and an animal." In my opinion, my definition is a better generalization of the concept to a world containing sapient non-humans, and since I'm going to be referring to my concept repeatedly, it will be good to have a single word that means what I want to say.

It is the 30th anniversary and all. And I pretty much watch anything Calpain tells me to watch. It's sad but true.

It's pretty fun, actually. And Faust was definitely right to prefer Firefly, though Ember looks like she's got potential as well.

So, you know, go check it out.

Do you read the official comics? Have you gotten the latest Friends Forever, featuring Shining Armor and Twilight Sparkle? If you answered "yes" to both of those questions, you might have noticed the same thing I did.

So I saw on my feed today yesterday a blog post from The Descendant. He mentioned a blog post about 50 headcanon questions. And then proceeded to give his answers, of course, since why else would you bring it up? I started to read it, but then I realized I should hold off on that until I had set my own opinions down, free from new influence. So here's what I think:

In Ponyville, the barber trims the fetlocks of everypony and only those ponies who do not trim their own fetlocks. This is not a paradox. Why?

Being the first to give the explanation I'm thinking of is worth one point. A novel logically sound explanation is worth two points. Repeating an explanation that has already been given is of course worth zero points.

Points are worth nothing beyond possible bragging rights.

Canonically speaking, we don't know a lot about the Royal Guard. We know what they look like. We know their skills include pulling royal chariots and standing around stoically, but not battling insane alicorns or repulsing sudden attacks by large swarms. But in most cases, we just don't know what they can do. The real place to evaluate their performance is on threats that are dangerous, but do not require alicorn levels of power and/or ancient magical artifacts to deal with. And we don't

I've been thinking about why I write. It started as a weird compulsion, sure, but that's hardly sustainable. No, what I realized is that I need likes, favorites, and comments. I crave notifications waiting for me every time I visit Fimfiction. It's like a drug. Everything else is unimportant.
