  1. Over on my blog, @vextaur I've done MLP story reviews, and lets try one here and see if'n Markdown can make it look good. For today, we're doing two stories we don't like, because it makes little point only being a cheerleader, right?

    First off, The White-Tail Affair.
    ![media-1]
    Honestly I hate to dislike this one, because the supporting cast is actually interesting and fun, Blueblood is… Odd, and I'm curious what's going on with him. Raven, even weirder, and Goody Two-Shoes the pegasus lawyer is fun… Unfortunately our main character Eterna Blossom is just a train wreck that drags the story down which really sucks with so many interesting and/or good characters running around.
    What's the story about?
    Well so far a diplomatic mission with the deer that live near the Everfree. So far because we've had a glimpse of a future where they're studying what went wrong I think, plus there's plenty of references to Eterna's family history which is tied to Nightmare Moon and the Everfree Forest. Seriously, I find myself being pretty sure there's a lot going on that I have figured out yet, but that's not a bad thing. Really its a shame about this one.

    So what's the second one?
    Leather & Lace.
    ![media-2]
    This is another potential squandered by a basically unlikable lead. Seriously, we have a person who's pulled into Friendship is Magic (My Little Pony generation 4) from the 80's via magic. Suspending disbelief that Twilight could do this without Celestia noticing, this is an interesting idea because typically human in Equestria stories are just that, or the human died and is reborn and is familiar with G4, but here the character is only vaguely aware of My Little Pony and that would be the first cartoon version, along with being converted into a pony when he was pulled in. Problem is that Andy isn't very likeable, survivor of an abusive childhood that ran off to CA to become a rock star, alcoholic and a drug user. This character sabotages himself at every opportunity, and while I'm glad there's no miracle cures in this Equestria, there doesn't seem to be any cures or help available. Because of this, things never really move forward, 7 chapters in, and really nothing has changed, things have happened, but nothing has really changed.

    Seriously, the fact that I gave up on both of these is telling, I can put up with characters, settings or versions of Equestria that aren't entirely likeable, I mean I'm still reading Ascension, Abdication or Abduction, a story that I can say has its moments, the good parts out number the bad, but it definitely has issues.
    Both of these though?
    Yeah, definitely thumbs down, don't waste your time.

  5. Shocked to see I haven't reviewed this one yet

    Maybe I commented about it somewhere, but its not in a post, so lets talk about The Education of Sunset Shimmer.

    If you'd asked me back in October about this one, I would've said one of the best written Sunset Shimmer meets Twilight stories, but still just another one of those stories, but its really hit its stride. Not only is Sunset much better written than canon, not just the arrogant student of Princess Celestia who dove through a mirror into another dimension when she didn't get what she wanted, this one is a teenager with what that brings, angry about the Princess not being her real mom, and as we see about when this really starts getting good, an inferiority complex. Yes, this Sunset is a real person, one that runs into Twilight, and realizes that the system is failing her. When she asks a Professor for help getting Twilight into Celestia's school, its pass admission day, and Twilight is too young, the Professor puts a price on his sponsoring her, Sunset will have to be her official mentor. She's been teaching Twilight and Moondancer, but make that official? She does decide to do it, but struggles with the choice. Things really got good in the last chapter, canon Twilight hatches a dragon egg, something the fandom has generally assumed was an impossible task to see how the student handles failure, here that's unquestionably the case as Twilight examines the egg and realizes its a rock. When she points this out, she's told she wasn't brought here to identify it, but to hatch it, that's the test. Could you be more blatant? And umm,

    Click to open/closeshe hatches it and gets her cutie mark, one slightly different from the show.

    Yeah, this one is looking real interesting, assuming the author keeps this quality up, I have to wonder where they're going, will this just go on for the entire show, stop at some point only for there to be another story, or...? Seriously, if you like Sunset or young Twilight, you really need to read this one.

    While I'm here, let me point out another good one, Twilight's Me Time. Originally a one off, the fans demanded it continue, so it has. Nothing real deep here, SciTwi (EQG) decides since she's board, she'll spend summer break with Princess Twilight in Equestria. Two nerds that have a habit of experimenting first and thinking second, what could possibly go wrong? Yeah, this is just a silly thing, easy reading, but definitely a fun read.

  6. @paoloredaelli @alcinnz Reminds me of how in My Little Pony there is a character known as the Princess of Love. And it seems that Hasbro wasn't too comfortable with the many meanings of the word "love", because in the movie's original intro scene they referred to her as the Princess of Family. Although eventually they scrapped the intro altogether and didn't mention her role at all.

  7. @mcc Funnily enough, I first heard of Barbra Streisand thanks to My Little Pony. In fact, although I heard of the Streisand Effect a few years ago, I'm just now finding out it predates this 2011 episode. I thought it was a more recent thing. Then again, I'm not a zoomer anyway.

  8. Applejack to Trenderhoof:
    "You're a fine pony, but I'm..."

    Rarity: "I think what Applejack means is..."

    Me: "Lesbian!"

    (S04E13 - Simple Ways)

    I'm truly sorry, fanfics broke me! Appledash for the win! 😁😅

  9. Pansexual flag in S04E10 - Rainbow Falls. 😁

    I'll consider this a subtle hint about Dashie. 😁

    #MyLittlePony⁩ ⁨#FriendshipIsMagic⁩ ⁨#MLP

  10. Oh, also, regarding S04E08 - Rarity Takes Manehattan (NOT a porn name!)

    Theres a hotel valet with suitcases cutiemark?! So fate tells you you're stuck with a job potentially serving rich people in an expensive hotel?! Damn cutie makes, classist shit! 😁

    (I'm being silly here, and of course valet is a fine job! Just strange to see them say THAT is your special talent. 😁)

  11. I mean, all "Friendship is Magic" songs are kinda great, but Pinkie's singing voice will always have something hopeful and lovely about it. ♥️

    And damn, I forgot angry Big Mac was so scary. 😁

    (S04E09 - Pinkie Apple Pie)

    #MyLittlePony #FriendshipIsMagic #MLP

  12. "Fluttershy, please come down and...do stop being a vampire bat." 😁

    Good times. 😁

  13. @deliaturner There is a character in My Little Pony who does that. I think the show's creator (Lauren Faust) said she drew inspiration from her mother.

  14. Maybe I should try to get my hands on one of the original Applejack blindbag ponies and put her next to the Rainbow Dash one unter my monitor at work.

    Ya know...for company when I'm gone or something. 😁😊

    #MyLittlePony #FriendshipIsMagic

  15. Alright, time to watch "Equestria Girls" for the first time.

    I'm still not a fan of human ponies, especially not the specific designs, but maybe the movie is good anyway!

  16. CW: My Little Pony Friendship is Magic S03E13 - Magical Mystery Cure spoilers

    I am still totally fine with Twilight becoming an Alicorn, but I feel the episode was a quite anticlimactic source for it.

    The danger was not very big and mostly self-caused, the actual transformation quite unceremonious and everything, I don't know, everything feels just "in the middle of something."

    It's just a small nitpick, but I would've really connected it to one of the "saving Equestria"-dangers.

  17. Here, have two My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic fanfic recommendations from me that I read recently.

    As people who knew my main-Brony-phase know, it is of course Applejack x Rainbow Dash romance, because Appledash rules! 😁

  20. Re-watching the final of Friendship is Magic season 2, I still can't forgive all the characters that NO ONE even tried to talk to and comfort Twilight after her falling out with her brother.

    Even IF she would've been wrong, leaving her alone like that.
    Celestia's often quite disappointing, but from the others, it's just sad.

    #MyLittlePony #FriendshipIsMagic #MLP

  21. For the first time in years I read an Applejack x Rainbow Dash romance fiction and it was absolutely lovely, cute and in-character.

    Appledash still is the best! 😁

    (No spoilers please, I still need to finish the show and see if they make that official.^^)

  22. I think back then I didn't appreciate Spike enough.

    He's awesome and deserves more food and headpats!

    #MyLittlePony #FriendshipIsMagic #MLP

  23. "Make sense? What fun is there in making sense?"

    "Girls! 'Eternal Chaos' means chocolate rain?!"

    "I just wanted to ask if it's okay if I hold you down against your will for a little bit."

    "Tough luck, you're Rainbow Dash now!"

    Even the season 2 intro episodes had so many awesome quotes.
    The first one I even regularly use quite often myself. ♥️

    #MyLittlePony #FriendshipIsMagic #MLP

  24. I wonder if any "My Little Pony" creator or writer ever expected one of their shows would be so successful, that it would create so many seasons, movies and spin-offs, that one would need a "correct watch order" list for the full story. 😁

    I guess I will be using this list: 😁

  25. I still don't officially know Smolder from "My Little Pony Friendship is Magic" because I sadly never watched the show far enough.

    But with the comic I'm currently reading I certainly ship her and Spike. ♥️

    I really hope I'll enjoy her in the actual show, as well!

    (Sorry, not linking the comic here as I fear the content involving the two might be a no-no for many instances.
    But they're cute together, believe me!)

    That said...I don't think I want to re-watch season one again, I've seen that too often.

    Maybe I should start with season 2, because Discord is awesome? 🤔

  26. Really, every piece of fanwork I see of the character "Smolder" from "My Little Pony Friendship is Magic" is lovely.
    The design, her personality in comics and videos.

    I really hope she will actually be as awesome as in all the fan works if I ever continue or rewatch the show and this time watch far enough to actually get to know her.

    (And of course dragons are always awesome!)

    #MyLittlePony #FriendshipIsMagic #MLPFiM #MLP

  27. Found more cool art and comics involving "My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic"'s Smolder.

    I really need to continue/finish watching the show as I love her design and fanarts but don't even officially know her yet. 😁

  28. i found two pieces of #MyLittlePony #FriendshipIsMagic merchandise at hot topic yesterday in current year and was very weak and had to purchase them

  29. Applejack redraw? Original was done in, like, 2022-2023? Ill attach it and the speedpaint below! ♡

    I did 2 versions
    1 with a more complex background and a simple one that reflects the original a bit more.

  30. This piece was a request from my friend Ruby, a lovely pony who happens to frequent my Discord server and twitch streams. It was also a personally very important piece, as I follow Tymora in my real life and have been wanting to illustrate my love for the Goddess somehow. Ruby forced my hand, and despite my hesitation, I think it came out beautifully.

    Dare Much, friends, and may Luck follow you wherever you go.

  31. "Co-executive producer, Meghan McCarthy wondered in a Tweet if Rainbow secretly wished to have Applejack's hoof around her in the episode Castle Mania."

    Damn, I REALLY need to finally continue and finish watching the show! 😁

  32. I was just showing off one of my old "My Little Pony" shirts to a friend and giving him reference to the original show style landed on the "Appledash" wiki article.

    "saying that if they are together, "Team Appledash is basically unstoppable". "

    "The last episode of the series, the two ponies were heavily implied to have a relationship more than a friendship between the both"

    [...]

  33. Some hashtags so mutual fans can find me, and maybe I can find some more artists/fan-artists.

    This list is not exhaustive, I love tons of #cartoons and quite some animes. ♥
    I apologise for using the hashtags once like this, but I really need my fandoms! 😅
