Batbrony Baltimore Batventures at BronyCon: Part 1

On Monday, when I got on the highway in Grand Rapids after two early morning flights, I balled my eyes out for about 30 minutes straight. I mean it, I was crying like crazy and just could not stop. These were not bad tears, though, no, no, far from it. These were some of the best tears I've had in a long time. My tears came from one place and one place only: the sheer shock I felt and still feel at how very much BronyCon 2016 met and far exceeded my expectations in oh so many ways.   I cannot

Batbrony Update: So I Have an OC and Twitter Now

Good evening everypony, Batbrony here with some minor updates on, well, me. First of all, in some unusual news for me for those of you who know me, I actually have an actual ponysona OC now. Everypony, meet Silver Lining!     As you can see, this little cutie is a thestral (more commonly known as a bat pony, but I prefer the former name myself for their species). He's very friendly, outgoing, and well-read, and his special talent is writing stories, particularly ones related to subj

For the Forums and Friends I Love and Cherish: A Thank You and an Apology

Well, now that I've got your attention, HELLO EVERYPONY, I'M BACK!!! Wow, been awhile hasn't it? So as you can see, no, I am not dead thankfully. The truth is, well, I said some not so nice things about Thereisnospoon's Bane cosplay, and, well... he didn't take it too kindly. Things happened...     Yeah, I'd rather not talk about i- wait, what am I saying, that's just the bad dream I had the other night after eating all those tacos. Anyways, where was I?

Batbrony Reviews "S07:E17 - To Change a Changeling"

Good evening, everypony, and welcome back to another edition of "Batbrony Reviews"!  The hits just keep on coming in Season 7 with, yet again, another episode that was more than exceptional.  In fact, I'd go so far as to say that "To Change a Changeling" was downright inspired in certain moments, especially in its writing.  Let's not waste any more time dawdling on introductions and just get to it, without further ado, this is "To Change a Changeling"!

Batbrony Reviews "Equestria Girls"

OK, well, I saw it... finally. Just last night, on YouTube. Um, spoilers ahead, but I think that's irrelevant at this point. So, before I get into the review proper... let's go back to late winter/early spring, when Season 3 ended and we first heard about... this, in order to fully understand how all of this happened.   So just as Season 3 was ending (I mean, just days before "Magical Mystery Cure" aired), certain art started circulating the Internet. Humanized art of the Mane 6. This would ge

Batbrony Reviews "S04:E19 - For Whom the Sweetie Belle Toils"

Apologies once again for the delayed review ya'll, I had work yesterday from 11-5 and didn't get around to watching the episode until late on Saturday night. After watching it twice already, however, I am pleased to say that I have nothing but good things to say about "For Whom the Sweetie Belle Toils" (except maybe for the terribly punny episode title; seriously, worst ponified title since "Sleepless in Ponyville", but hey, that episode rocked as well ).   Anyways, let's get going with this t

Batbrony Reviews "S07:E24 - Uncommon Bond"

Good afternoon, everypony, and welcome back to another edition of "Batbrony Reviews"!  It's the penultimate episode of Season 7 folks (considering the upcoming season finale is, as we would expect, a two-parter), and given how those have gone throughout the show's tenure, I think it's safe to say that most of us were very much anticipating this one.  Let's rundown how penultimate episodes in previous seasons have gone as a quick recap: in Season 1 we were graced with "Party of One," easily Pinki

Beware the Bat-Cats!

So not too much of a blog entry tonight, but I thought it was high time I introduced ya'll to my crime-fighting compadres!!! OK, they don't really fight crime, but that's beside the point! Introducing, the bat-cats themselves, Tony and Emilie!!! Bask in their glorious adorableness and undeniable and ridiculous levels of cuteness!!!!!!!   Tony     Please good sir, rub my belly some more     What on earth are you staring at strange person?

Batbrony Reviews "S07:E18 - Daring Done?"

Good afternoon everypony, and welcome back to another edition of "Batbrony Reviews"!  I'm sure you're all wondering why I'm posting my review of this latest episode so early.  Well, while I normally always wait to write a review until after an episode has officially aired on Saturdays, I felt I had to make an exception this week since my girlfriend is briefly visiting me today and Saturday.  If I waited, that'd leave me only Saturday evening and Sunday to catch up on this new episode and write m

Batbrony Reviews "S04:E25+26 - Twilight's Kingdom"

Well... it finally happened. After over two years, I now have a new favorite episode. "The Return of Harmony", you had a fantastic run, really, you did. But after Season 4's finale, I simply can't deny it: "Twilight's Kingdom" is, officially, my new favorite episode of the show. The thing that I find most fascinating about this is how very different both episodes are, but I'll cover that in a bit. Right now, in addition to reviewing just what makes "Twilight's Kingdom: Parts 1 and 2" such phenom

Batbrony Reviews "Puella Magi Madoka Magica": Characters, Part 2: Mami Tomoe

Sorry for the delay on this second entry my friends and fellow fans of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica". Without further ado, here's my review of Mami Tomoe.   Characters   Mami Tomoe, a.k.a. "Most Stylish Magical Girl", "Best and Worst Magical Girl Salesman", and "Worst at Not *puts on shades* Losing Her Head, BAZING!!! " (please don't kill me for that last one Sugar Cube )

Batbrony Reviews "Puella Magi Madoka Magica": Introduction and Characters, Part 1: Madoka Kaname

So for months now, my best bud DashForever has been urging me to check out the anime "Puella Magi Madoka Magica". Welp, I finally did. So what's my consensus?   This show... is without a doubt the finest anime I've ever seen. Now, before I go any further, let me just say this, so that people are aware going ahead some things about myself before they read my opinions on the show. I would not consider myself an otaku in any sense of the word; while I enjoy great anime when I find them, I do not

Batbrony Reviews "S07:E14 - Fame and Misfortune"

Well then... that was... odd.  Certainly not bad, and I don't even find myself disagreeing with the lesson of this episode, but it was quite odd to watch to say the least.  I honestly don't think we've ever had an episode as blatantly meta as "Fame and Misfortune," and it leaves me in a strange place when it comes to reviewing it.  But I'm gonna try my best, since it's still an episode of MLP, and like I said, not a bad one, even if I don't know completely how I feel about it.  Without further a

Baking With Batbrony

Hello everypony, Batbrony here with some exciting news! Well, after a productive day as it was, in which I sent out some reference letter forms to some past professors, made headway on some grad school appliactions, helped stack 70 bales of hay in a barn's attic for some good church friends, and had a lovely dinner at Wendy's with my mom followed by new episodes of "The Middle" and "Modern Family", I decided what better way to end the day than by finally baking some muffins!

In Which Batbrony Rants About The Terrible Idea That Is "The Lion King" Remake

So for those who haven't heard, Disney and Jon Favreau have confirmed that the latter has been pegged to direct a "live-action" (i.e. CGI) remake of their beloved 1994 classic, "The Lion King."     OK... I have some thoughts...     Sorry, needed to get that out of the way. Ahem, now that that's over, let me proceed to tell you all why this is a horrible, bad, terrible, no-good, rotten, dumb, asinine, and completely nonsensical idea. First, some background.

Batbrony Reviews "MLP:FiM - Season 6"

Good evening everypony! Well, another year, another season of MLP. As we've come to expect from the quality of this show, Season 6, like virtually every season of MLP G4, was simply delightful in every sense of the word, and a fun ride to take with all you bronies and pegasisters as always. It was also capped by a very good (though not perfect) season finale, bringing to a close a great season with many exciting developments in the show for the story, characters, and setting. It's set the stage

Batbrony Reviews "S07:E4 - Rock Solid Friendship"

Ahhhhhhhhhh, good afternoon everypony, and welcome back to another edition of "Batbrony Reviews."  First of all, my apologies for not getting this review posted yesterday, I was feeling tired and under the weather by the time I was able to write it so it just wasn't happening last night.  That said, I am glad I waited and rewatched the episode, because I now feel much better equipped to review this one than after my initial watch of it.  Let's not waste anymore time dawdling about and dive right

Batbrony Reviews "S07:E21 - Marks and Recreation"

Good evening, everypony, and welcome back to another edition of "Batbrony Reviews"!  This week's episode, while not quite as surprisingly excellent as last week's, was still, nonetheless, quite exceptional for what it was.  Our last Cutie Mark Crusader episode of the season, "Marks and Recreation" features the CMC starting a Cutie Mark day camp for blank flanks, mostly so that they can help more than one at a time.  However, trouble arises when Rumble decides he'd rather remain a blank flank tha

Well, never really left actually, but I can understand if anypony believed that I'd become but one of the thousands of bronies who've abandoned the fandom and fanfic authors who've abandoned their stories and left them to rot in an unfinished purgatory for the rest of time. I mean, my last chapter was added, let's see *counts his fingers* holy crap, 2017?! I haven't uploaded a chapter since 2017??? Man, I'm sorry guys, truly. In my defense, I h

Please Vote for Derpy: A Humble Beseech From A Derp Knight

Brothers and sisters of MLP Forums, I beckon you all, come forward and hear my words! Listen to what I have to say, and maybe, just maybe, you will be there for a certain grey mare in her hour of need. I can only hope.   Note: If you're not in the mood for reading this bit, I've gone and actually recorded myself reading it as well, if you're in the mood for a more audio experienced. Be warned, however, for I've been known to make those with weaker constitutions swoon in the past with my me

Pray For Paris

To our French brothers and sisters:   Notre Père, qui es aux cieux, que ton nom soit sanctifié, que ton règne vienne, que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel. Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain quotidien, et pardonne-nous nos offenses comme nous pardonnons à ceux qui nous ont offensés, et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation, mais délivre-nous du mal, car le ton est le règne, la puissance et la gloire pour toujours et à jamais, Amen.   And for our brothers and sisters worldwide:

Batbrony Reviews "S07:E20 - A Health of Information"

Good evening, everypony, and welcome back to another edition of "Batbrony Reviews"!  Goodness me, at this point the amount of exceptional episodes this season has become so commonplace that it's almost starting to lose its effect.  But just almost.  This past week we had yet another delight of an episode in "A Health of Information," and easily Fluttershy's best episode of the season.  It was well-paced, well-written, had great appearances from new and old characters, and a side of its main char

Batbrony Reviews "MLP S05:E1+2 - The Cutie Map"

Alright, alright, alright everypony, we are back in business. Welcome back, yet again, to another Batbrony Reviews. Did ya'll miss me? Cause I missed you! Season 5 is underway, and quite frankly I couldn't be happier with how things have gone so far. This season's already established for itself a pretty unique feel compared to previous seasons, so let's jump right in and take a look at what I thought worked so very well in these first two episodes.
