Warning: Spoilers from the latest episode, Triple Threat, abound. Proceed with caution.

As you may well know, I always get giddy when my stories and the show's canon align. And with this latest episode, it has happened again (albeit in a roundabout way). But this time, it's more than just "oh, I wrote a thing, and it turns out that thing is canon in the show. Neat." This goes up to a whole other level.

You know what I miss? · 4:17pm Jul 19th, 2017

The ability to follow outgoing link on the referral page to get context of where the link came from.

Seriously, how did Reformation Buddies end up being referred to on Channel Awesome? I can't find the link anywhere.

Equestria Girls: The Dance Mirror Movie · 3:12pm Jun 29th, 2017

What? That's the best thing I can call it.

Warning: Spoilers abound. Proceed with caution.

So, yeah. Instead of one big movie, we have three episode-length stories stapled together. And it premiered early in Poland. And I found the episodes on YouTube, so I don't know how DHX is going to officially release them, or if they have already.

...

This is a weird year for MLP. :derpytongue2:

Anyway, follow me below the break, and I'll just share some random thoughts I had.

Just so you know, I will be following the American broadcast schedule. I dunno what it is, but whenever I try to view the Canadian broadcast uploads, there's some kind of audio issue that's really distracting.

Season 6 Retrospective · 11:07pm Oct 22nd, 2016

Warning: Season-wide spoilers abound. Proceed with caution.

Well, the fish has jumped. I know, that's a weird reaction to this season ending, but I felt it was appropriate. After all, that's how this season felt to me. It certainly didn't generate the same excitement I got out of Seasons 4 and 5. Not to say it was bad by any means, but let's go over what worked and what didn't, shall we?

Headcanon Corner: Are Hippogriffs a Thing? · 10:04pm Sep 10th, 2016

Warning: Spoilers from the latest episode, The Fault in Our Cutie Marks, abound. Proceed with caution.

So, after Tender Taps, the CMC have finally gotten themselves a new client. Why aren't there more episodes like this one? I'm more interested in seeing the Crusaders tackle Cutie Mark problems than building go-carts or selling prank cookies.

Well, here we are again. An episode made of so much win that I can't say just one thing about it. Discord hasn't been around for a while (and I'll get to my theories on where he's been once my cover artist has finished my request), and he's made a most welcome return in this episode. Anyway, I'm just gonna gush about this ep for a bit and talk about what I found interesting.
