Thinking too much, coming to conclusions that make the most sense to me but nobody else is going to agree with.

Hi Filly.

Night Filly.

Hi.

 I'm as usual. Which means I'm fine, but I'm not.

About life in general? Pessimist. I literally don't believe it's possible for me to actually be happy with life. Any attempt to be happy feels like a lie. I hate trying to be optimistic, "See? I'm happy, right guys? Life's not that bad, this is how I should be right? Am I conforming to your standards yet? Is this what you want? Does this fake smile feel real enough?"

 About media, I tend to be optimistic though, genuinely. Not sure why it's so easy to do that when trying it with real life gives me a headache and makes me bitter and angry, but whatever.

I still like the season quite a bit. It's even got a few of my new favorites like A Hearth's Warming Tale and The Saddle Row Review. I don't really think it's gone downhill at all. There is no reality here, just opinions.

Hope you enjoy the second half more though.

No such thing as normal, if you like it and it's not negatively effecting your life, who cares?

 Well, someone probably does, but it's up to you if you like having ponies everywhere like that.

Just because the mane six and others are reaching their goals doesn't mean that's the end. Now that Rainbow's in the Bolts that just opens up potential for new stories, now that Rarity's managing multiple boutiques that does the same, now that Starlight's reformed and added to the cast of characters, that's more potential for stories with her, etc...

 It's only a "Happy ending" if it's actually the ending. Which it might be, it might not. I'm doubtful it is, but who knows? We'll just have to see.

I didn't make this topic to debate about it (seriously every topic here becomes debating), but feel free to continue, I'm just going to see if anyone has a similar experience as I do.

Nah, I'm not going to keep debating it if you don't want. I don't have a problem with pointing out instances of weird, silly stuff in games in a joking manner, but taking it seriously like real world physics are required kinda takes the fun out of things.

 Tails from the Sonic games can fly because he can spin his two twin tails like helicopter blades to lift himself off the ground, which is utterly ridiculous, but it's cartoon logic in a cartoon game so whatever. Knuckles on the other hand can apparently glide because he can trap air in his dreadlocks, or something like that. It's the weird "Sciencey" Mumbo-Jumbo explanation here that makes me find Knuckles ability more hilarious, how do Dreadlocks do that? If you cut them off could he then not glide? 

It does need to be believable at least here's an example.  

That game's problem to me isn't that it seems unbelievable, as much as it seems overly complicated and badly designed. It's fine for a game to have really strange rules and physics, the important thing is for them to be fun, and for those rules to remain consistent within the game itself. I'd play a game with weird logic like that, long as it was fun and designed well.

 My favorite game is about a kid fighting demons and insects in his basement by launching his own tears at them, like a Twin-Stick shooter. Launching your own tears makes no sense, and monsters being harmed by them makes no sense. But the physics and rules in the game stay consistent (At least until you grab a power-up that changes them.) 

 I mean, really, what games are believable? Is Sonic the Hedgehog believable? Kirby? Zelda? No, not really. If you apply real world logic to them with the expectation they follow, they will fall apart. Some games are way stranger than that, and fall apart even faster, but that's the great thing. Real world logic need not apply.

Nearly any platformer ever. Why are there just random chunks of land floating in the sky, moving up and down or back and forth? Why are there random collectibles like coins, bananas, rings, etc just spinning around in the air?

There are a lot of weird crap in video games, like that Rocket jump. Just accept it's somehow possible within the realms of that universe, despite the fact that it's physically not possible in our world, and you're gold. Video game physics do not have to line up with real world physics.

If it's Twilight? Or any of the mane six for that matter. Kiss back, no questions asked.

 Actually, probably faint after having my entire perception of reality shattered by a talking cartoon pony.

But I'd want to do the first option.

I'm a guy and I usually have long hair. Everyone always tells me I look so much better with short hair and less like a girl, but honestly I hate the way I look with short hair, I just think it looks stupid, and it's not as comfortable for me.

 Nobody agrees with me though, so that sucks.

I dunno man. I thought I was straight, but some of the stallions in this show are pretty darn cute...

 Nah, Some Bronies are gay, some are straight, some are Bi, some are Asexual, Some are maybe Space Aliens. We come in all colors of the Rainbow.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. What a surprise there, right?

 Also, Doctor Who, Sonic Satam, Ed, Edd n' Eddy, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Powerpuff girls. Mostly cartoons.

I rather liked this episode. Good song, the father and daughter characters were rather interesting, good moral. It was a fun time.

 I can already see that some people might take the moral of this episode in a bad way, with Zesty being a critic and all. I don't think the message was against criticism or critics as a whole, but more aimed at a specific type. Zesty's not a very good critic, she wasn't even willing to give the restaurant a chance in the first place. Just dismissing it for not being like all the others. There's nothing wrong with being a critic, and disliking something is fine, but telling others they can't like it because you know "better" is ridiculous, nobody's opinion is the "Proper" one.

 Only problem I have is Rarity seemed a bit too eager to make the Tasty Treat "Conform". I think she'd understand creative desires a bit better than that, as she has experience with them. But she also does still follow trends and styles at times, so I don't think it's entirely out of the possibility she may not have really been putting herself in their hooves, not really thinking of it like that.

I binge watched season 1 until I was caught up with it, after that I watched the new episodes as soon as I could, on TV if possible. Now, when I rewatch the show I prefer to watch at most 2-3 episodes a time.

 I do the same with other shows when I watch them.

I think it's fine as it is, really. I like how it's kept basically the same, just tweaked a bit for every new season.

 If they do change it though, I still want them to keep the opening part with unicorn Twi hopping out of the balloon and meeting her friends before her reveal as an Alicorn near the end. It's like a tiny little dose of nostalgia with every new episode.

Yep, nobody knows what to say to me.

 I don't blame you, I'm like a trainwreck, what are you supposed to do to stop it? Nothing you can do, no matter how much anyone on it begs, you can't help them.

Whatever, see ya.

398987

Welp, just did it.

 I don't feel better.

I don't feel anything, actually.
