Hello there, my crowd! Welcome to my Weekly Musings: Orange Edition. 

[I ❤ JAPAN] -- [I ❤ THE COLOR RED] -- [I ❤ CELESTIA]

   Feel free to leave a video request. Your video will eventually be featured in a future Weekly Musings entry!   

It begins yet again, my crowd!  Shall we talk about it?

 Can't say anything BIG happened this week. At least nothing in a personal way that deserves top comment. I was suppose to buy some bed sheets this week, but all the shops had a terrible selection, so I had to stick to online shopping. Haven't found a good deal just yet, but maybe soon. Did some mowing, but I'm not done.  Maybe soon, something big will happen. For now, my mother is having back pains, so I mostly just want to help her.

 But there WAS something big that happened for Sonic the Hedgehog!  Did anyone else see that Sonic Central video? It came around at the same time as the newest Nintendo Direct video, but man there was so much to get excited about!! New merch, new games, and the next season of Sonic Prime was teased! Also, never expected to see a rapping Eggman. I am so hyped! I thought it was just going to be DLC for Sonic Frontiers; I didn't expect all this! ... I wonder which game will become more popular, Sonic Superstars or Super Mario Bros. Wonder? The friendly competition is real!

 Sadly, I can't say that I was equally happy watching the newest season of MLP G5.  I caved in because of Celestia, but I knew it wouldn't be the epic season I was hoping it would be. I'm sorry, but it just sucked. It was proof that the writers are terrible and that they clearly don't know the G4 characters as well as well as we do. Somehow, the current generation of ponies have gotten even dumber. One episode in particular promoted an illegal message I can't support. The way Celestia and Luna were portrayed is not only inaccurate, but I am beginning to think the writers have only done random Google searches on these characters and the show. I don't think they are familiar with the G4 lore as we are, otherwise they would have known that young Celestia had a pink mane, not a rainbow one. If you want my honest opinion, just skip to the last episode of the season. It's the only reason to watch, and even that one doesn't quite nail the landing.

 Did anyone catch that Kraven the Hunter trailer?  ...I'd see that.

 Geats 39: One Wish Per Round!  So despite getting Creation powers, Geats can't make everything happen all at once. It's essentially like granting a wish; but you can only grant one wish at a time. As a result, Jamato still exist. We have some admins that stuck around after all. There's a new Jamato creator and we finally get to see who the new Game Master is too! Is this a familiar face?! It looks like Ace is trying to make all those previous, selfless wishes come true by himself, but can he really do it alone? Does he need someone else to make the wish? Can a wish even be granted without Riders competing in a DGP? It's not much of grand prix if it's only one person.

 Geats 40: Tragedy Reborn!  Oh, that hurt... Well played, episode. You lulled us into a false sense of calm and joy, and then you ripped it from us in the most cruel way possible. For the evil admins, this is just another Tuesday. But for us and for Tycoon? It hits so much harder. We got to know and love Tycoon's sister. And now, like many Riders before him, Tycoon will be a Rider born of sorrow and a desire for righteous revenge. They really played our heroes like fiddles, and used poor Buffa like a pawn. If it were me, I wouldn't push my luck against a Rider with reality-changing powers. But we all know that won't stop someone who is truly corrupt.

 King-Oh 16: Sisters In Arms!  Once again I say, well played, episode. I was totally ready to see how Racles and Deathnarok mess this up, but instead we are forced to wait for gratification. Instead, what we get is a rather surprising and pleasant episode. We learn that The Fury Of The Gods as a man-made tragedy. We learn more about Purple's origins, which leads to some unlikely bonding between her and Yellow. I swear, if you didn't like Yellow before, how can you not after an episode like this? And in the wake of death and despair, Purple is given a sliver of unlikely hope. These are the kind of episodes that make me hungry for more.

That's all for now, my crowd.  Take care, and keep writing.

I don't normally share vids like this, but this guy really captured a lot of my feelings about MYM Chapter 4 (besides the thoughts I posted above). So consider this some of my expanded thoughts. I have never seen this guy's work before, but I hope the fandom likes this guy. I really want to see more of his videos. This is "Chapter 4 Does the Unexpected! - MLP Make Your Mark" by Star Strike.
