Dear Hasbro,

First, thank you for ponies. They are great, and I love them. In appreciation, I have bought the latest DVD as well as enough My Little Pony plastic figurines to cover my entire coffee table.

But just today, I realized there is something I very much want to buy, but I cannot buy, as it does not yet exist: a My Little Pony music rhythm video game, ala Guitar Hero or Rock Band but, y'know, appropriate for seven-year-old gamers.

If you have not already seen this, you really need to see it.

It's amazing. And relevant to the title of this blog post.

I have an ongoing musical project where I am writing love songs for all of the possible Mane Six shippings. The first installment of these (featuring RainbowPie, RariJack, FlutterDash, and AppleDash songs) is available here.

Today's installment features songs for TwiPie, RariShy, TwiDash, RariDash, and FlutterPie. All video links have full lyrics in the video description sections.

First, I'm gonna recommend one of my own, because it's my blog and I'll self-promote if I want to. ALSO, I HAVE NO SHAME. Well, and also also, you can't read the most recent story I've written on my own page.

So, I'm generally not the kinda guy to go on "Blargh! Blech! That was the WORST. EPISODE. EVER!" rants. I've liked some episodes better than others, and I think some have better writing and better characterization than others. Overall, though, I've been really, really impressed with the quality of the show.

But what do you do when something really IS the worst episode ever?

YOU GUYS.

If you haven't listened to the extended version of the MLP: FiM theme song, you really, really should. I'd had the short version of the theme on my mp3 player for a while, along with most of the other songs from the show, but the MLP theme was always the song I skipped over most.

We are all just electrons on a computer screen but, for most of us anyways, there are flesh and blood people behind all these various user names. And most of us have voices--you just can't hear them, necessarily, in these words that we type on the internet.

Would it surprise you if I said that, of all the Mane Six, I sound the most like Applejack?

Well, it's old news that I wrote a story about Pinkie and Scootaloo called "Our True Colors," but behold! It has hit Equestria Daily. Whoo! And the EqD readers seem to hate it significantly less than they hated "Not Unless You Mean It." HUZZAH!
