    Hey everyone! (I won't be using fandom-isms I'm afraid). It's been over 3 years since I last visited this forum. And indeed, it'd been about that long since I last kept up with our little horse cartoon. I'm a college sophomore now, though it seems I'm even less mature than I was when I was teenager. Or at least less inhibited. I fully embrace my love of video games, anime, and kiddie shows again, and so do my friends, so that's cool. I also came out as trans in real life and that's not going fantastic but it's not going badly either. Worry not, website that definitely doesn't remember me! I Am Thriving
    But no one comes here to just talk about everyday life. We are all united by our love for a really nice children's cartoon about friendship and rainbow ponies. And I'm actually super behind on it, so no spoilers for seasons 6-8, but I've gone back and watched some episodes Of Interest. Including The Final Problem, the episode of SUCH interest that my social media timelines usually flooded with anime were flooded with pony fanart instead. I really don't have much to say that's already said, and there's a lot that's old to fans now that's still new to me, but oh well. Figured I'd do a rundown of quick reactions since Wow I Care About Horses (And Other Assorted Magical Creatures):
    I fell in love with Sunburst at first sight but never got to any episodes past the one where he and Starlight meet up again. So I'm a fake fan I AM NOT A FAKE STARLIGHT FAN THOUGH. I adore her! She's one of my top favorites. I really like her x Twilight but no one seems to agree with me :sob: Apparently she and Trixie meet at some point though? That's extremely cute. I only have To Where And Back Again to go off of, so You ask why I've seen TWaBA if I stopped after season 5 and the answer is because I stalked the Fluttercord tag on tumblr long after I'd "grown up" and "moved on to other things" I care about that pairing so much that for a while after I left the fandom it was the only MLP thing I was still willing to talk about In hindsight that was pretty stupid of me since cringe culture is absolutely dead but that's a testament to how emotionally invested I am in a cartoon horse hypothetically dating the god of chaos My friend and I watched Discordant Harmony for the first time one night at around 2 AM and wound up crying real tears on the dorm room floor Oh yeah and also it Actually Canonically Happened baby my taste is NEVER wrong Cartoon pairings I like Happen. my love energy makes waves. Korrasami happened. Bubbline happened. Fluttercord? Happened : ) LYRABON HAPPENED TOO!! My power! My swag! Except Rarijack didn't happen but you can't win em all. Appledash is super cute and also gay rights so I'm not mad I'm Cheesepie neutral I'm just glad Pinkie Pie is happy. That's my GIRL I watched that Countess Coloratura episode. The songs went too hard. Also I loved Svengallop It's because he's a jerk and also has glasses. Love that APPARENTLY CADENCE AND SHINING ARMOR HAD A BABY? We'll watch that at some point she's super mega cute The CMC got their cutie marks, idk when that happened, and tbh I kinda hate them, but they're baby ponies and they love each other and that's more important We watched Flutter Brutter. I love Zephyr Breeze I know Big Mac and Sugar Belle get together BRO that's so cute horses in love is so dope BRUH I NEED TO KNOW HOW THEY CURED RACISM IN EQUESTRIA ALL I KNOW IS THAT IT HAPPENED (my guess is that they used the power of friendship) I saw some Cozy Glow (DAUGHTER. CHILD. I LOVE EVIL BABIES) but I missed aaalllll of that arc so IDK anything about the Changelings or where the dragons came from or who those yak creatures are I care about the yak girl. She is is big and strong and my friend I want to watch the movie soooo bad but whenever I brought it up in high school my friends thought I was joking : ( But not anymore. Ponies on main I want to meet that cat lookin guy And that's all I can think of. I miiiight stick around here while I watch the rest of the series but 1. IDK when that will happen and 2. I only have time for like 1 and a half websites nowadays anyway. Either way friendship is magic, thank you horse show, I will always love you

    Everypony else seems to be doing it so it's my turn.
     
    This episode was very exciting. I loved the idea of a musical ep., I think it worked well. overall it was pretty well-paced and emotional and I enjoyed it. The songs themselves were friggin' awesome, somebody please give Daniel Ingram an award.
     
    What I didn't like about it was, like everypony else, Alicorn Twilight, mostly because this raises more questions than answers. What will happen to Twi now that she is a ruler? Does she still live in Ponyville? If not, where does everypony else live? What will become of Spike and the library?
     
    I have always been a neigh-sayer for Twilicorn, and recently I've been getting crap on other sites for not liking it (so much for respecting others' opinions -_-). Apparently the two-parter for Season 4 will answer at least a few of these questions, but all the same it's jarring to see our beloved unicorn turning into something more powerful than most can imagine. Why is this a problem? Because we fear for Twilight's flaws. Her anxiety, her OCD tendencies, her overindulgence in all things nerdy. As a Princess meant to sell toys, will Twilight become a perfect character? Will she become a much-hated Mary Sue?
     
    Where will the show go after such a huge event? This episode is so final, it's hard to imagine it continuing...and yet it is.
     
    QUESTIONS. I have them. Will they be answered? We don't know. And as a human, I don't like not knowing.

    The title says all. In very simple terms.
     
    Today I arrived home to find that I had been invited to a friend of mine's bar mitzfah. Now, I have never been very religious and hardly know a thing about my family's religion, so how am I supposed to understand how someone else's works? Sure I know the basics, like what a bar mitzfah, but I don't know what happens during them.
     
    I'm already awkward. It's on April 20th and I'd appreciate anyone's help, just so I don't show up a complete and utter derp.

    ...or got crushed in a giant garbage compactor. Either works, really.
     
    The other day I was made aware of this article. The Brave Little Toaster is getting a CGI remake, brought to you by the geniuses who created Alvin and the Chipmunks, Yogi Bear, and The Smurfs. Did I mention all three were heavily criticized pieces of crap?
     
    So, yeah. Now they're going after a very personal childhood movie of mine, modernizing it and updating it with new electronics that kids will "understand". This goes against the entire friggin' point of the movie, so obviously someone didn't do any research at all.
     
    Why do people do this? WHy can no one in the movie business understand that some things should just be left untouched?

    The Most Awkward

    By Discovery Dream,

    The most awkward situation you can be in is tripping over a blind person's walking, feely stick thing. You can't say "excuse me" because they can't see you, and you can't really say "sorry" either. And the worst part is that this happens to me all the time, because three blind brothers all go to my school. Being in a crowded hallway is the icing on the awkward cake.

    So, the first week of school ended up going great! Everyone seems to be a whole lot nicer, and the teachers are great, too. I think it's gonna be a good year
     
    I'm probably gonna end up making a blog to post my art and stuff. It isn't spectacular but I guess it doesn't suck too bad. Perhaps even stuff not on my deviantART like sketches. I think I'd benefit from having more supplies than a couple of number 2 pencils and a tablet, but good stuff isn't exactly cheap and I don't want to blow all of my money on art stuff. I must achieve a balance of money, split evenly between my needs.
     
    ...or I could blow it all on something stupid like normal.

    SO I managed to re-submerse myself in the hellpit that is technicolor cartoon horses, so here's my overall thoughts:
     
    Top favorite (new) characters this season were Starlight Glimmer, Coloratura, and Svengallop. Two pieces of garbage and a cinnamon roll for good measure.
     








    (It's the hair.)


     
    Hate the CMC's cutie marks! Hate 'em! But there's no lasting animosity. It's just a cartoon. I just dislike the shields and wished they had more individuality about them. Whatever.
     
    Both Discord episodes were A+, 1000000/10. I love this chaos god so much, holy lord. What a loser. What a dweeb. And his interactions with Fluttershy are always so sweet to watch.
     
    And of course, there's the 100th episode. What a mess. What a fun, zany, cartoony mess; it was a trip and I have to say that I quite enjoyed it! And LyraBon is canon. It is confirmed. Fight me
     


    I'm in tears just looking at this image. They're girlfriends


     


    And I suppose if we're talking ships, here's some more to add to the pile: 



     

    Childhood fillyfriends? Yeah. I dig it. We've all had the summer camp experience.



    Some of us never forget it.


     



     

    YIKES WHOOPS THIS WAS AN ACCIDENT I SWEAR



    Too late now. I want the purple unicorns to date

    So once upon a time I tried out a 3DS at the Gamestop and I got a headache from the 3D. A few weeks later I tried it again, and got a headache again. Feeling as though the new games would all pretty much the same as the DS titles I'd already played anyways, with the new gimmick (a few Mario games, a Zelda game or two, etc etc) I decided I'd stick with my Lite, which had served me well for years now.
     
    But then I heard about this totally amazing application called Colors! 3D, which is basically like Paint Tool SAI that you can take around with you, simulating making digital art with a tablet. It isn't like "Draw Something", mind you, where the pictures are supposed to suck; this thing allows you to make actual digital art.
     
    QUEUE ARTIST FANGIRL SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE
     
    Plus, the 3DS has internet, so I'd be able to post stuff to my (cruddy but whatever) DeviantART and not have to worry about losing the tablet pen, or my PC bluescreening, or SAI erroring.
     

     
    That is all.

    ...and I'm scared.
    Last year was a crap year. My friends became jerks, and I was pushed around. Normal, considering I'm an awkward nerd girl. It still sucked.
    This year I want to stay positive but really I'm terrified. I don't want to see all the people I came to despise last year, but I have no choice. I heard them talking about me. They might do it again.
     
    You see my dilemma.
    Any help? This isn't a new school or anything, just a new year with old friends and enemies.
