1. I smell shipping! Rainbowdust, anyone?

2. I expected Pinkie to mail herself.

3. LOL, Roid Rage is back!

4. Between the last episode and this one, we fanfiction writers will be out of business.

5. What was in the care package?

Vivat nox.

They rely entirely on your care and the work of your hands to do anything. I've learned this the hard way, because not consistently cleaning my clarinet has caught up to me. Now it has to have the pads and a few screws replaced because it's become a gooey, bacterial paradise. Lucky me, I know a guy who has an extra clarinet that he's loaning me, so I narrowly avoided being screwed.

The moral of the story is this: wind musicians, clean your instruments regularly.

Vivat nox.

Go, Twixie writers! To your keyboards! Be the first to write Twixie based on the episode!

On a serious note, it was good. The beginning gave me Harry Potter vibs for some reason. I guess it was the alley motif and the British shopkeeper selling magical artifacts.

Some things that mindf#&%ed me:

-Red and black alicorn amulet

-Male Applejack

Studio Derp now has a SynchTube account, and I'll be hosting the first session. It will be on November 24th at 2:00 p.m. plus another one (maybe) at the same time on the 25th, and we'll be watching a series of episodes. So, my question for yinz is this:

What are the ones you want to see on the playlist?

Please don't say Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000.

Also, here's a sneak peek at my next story!

As none of you know, I'm in a partnership with a YouTuber by the name of NinjaSpiderVI, which we call Studio Derp. Neither of us are very good artists, so we would like someone to make us a logo of sorts. The only things that need to be in it are a ninja spider and a clarinet. You're welcome to do anything else with it so long as it is appropriate.

Comment here or PM me for any other details. Thanks!

Okay, seriously.

The short version is that it was great. The stakes were high, the characters remained as lovable as ever, and the ending was plenty satisfying. It even left us with some questions about season 3's future.

Now, the long version.

So, it's a Friday night, and what's an insane person to do on a Friday night?

Calculations!

So, my friend told me a joke that goes like this: If your canoe is stuck up a tree with its headlights on, how many pancakes does it take to get to the moon?

Because I'm a science-y person, I decided to do the math.

I'm in a creative slump for MLP. I want story ideas and requests from my readers. I'll take just about anything. Happy, sad, serious, goofy, give me whatever you got.

Maybe I'm being too harsh on myself, but I feel like The Mare of My Dreams is the worst thing I've written, at least that's still posted somewhere. Yet somehow, the general reception has been, and continues to be, positive. It's not my worst work, but I think it's close. Yet I look at the stats of the story: forty-four thumbs up with only two thumbs down, close to a thousand views, nearly thirty favorites. I was more expecting the response it got on FanFiction; good, but minimal favoriting and
