Samurai Equine

It's time once again to Equip the Script! Can you guess the right answer? 

In Episode 12, Call Of The Cutie, Apple Bloom targets an unsuspecting stallion as a potential customer. After a bunch of questions to try and convince him to buy some, her final question is, "You're pretty sure, but you're not absolutely, completely sure. Are you?". To which, he replies, "Uh... If I buy some apples, will you please leave me alone?". Apple Bloom nods and collects his bits. What did this customer say as he ran away?

A. "Allons-y!"
B. "Geronimo!"
C. "Would you like a jelly baby?"
D. Nothing.

And yes, the question is a trick question~!

Happy Birthday!  

Kids, don't try this at home.

How goes it, my crowd? 

My allergies are getting worse, but at least I got some cough syrup. That should help.

I'll be picking up groceries tomorrow. I have learned the hard way that if I want to pick groceries up on Monday, I need to schedule it on a Saturday or Friday, not on Sunday. Because apparently with COVID and everything, there are WAY more people wanting to buy their groceries online. Not that I can blame anyone for doing so.

Take care, my crowd. 

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!   

Twilight can be silly too.  Shall we talk about the week we just finished, my crowd?

 I guess the biggest thing that happened this week was the SNOW!  As much as I enjoy seeing a winter wonderland, I was instantly reminded why it only makes sense to have snow is December (or in any month where a bunch of major holidays happen in a row). It makes things dangerous! No one should be traveling on the roads when there's snow and ice. It's too dangerous! Not to mention, the snow activated my allergies something FIERCE! My throat has been so sore lately... What I wouldn't do for some cough syrup.

 YouTube needs to get it's act together and let its content creators have Geoblocking, that or do a better job of protecting its creators. I feel so bad for Suede... But at least I got to see the newest Bronies React and the newest episode of Elements of Justice! So there was some good there. 

 MOVIE TIME!  This time, it's... Hamilton. Should I even call this a movie? It's an official recording of the stage show. Wish I had a lot to say about this. There are moments and creative decisions in this musical that I liked. Lin himself is kinda dorky, but when he acts, he really puts his all into it. Perhaps there is a reason why this musical got so much hype and praise that I don't fully understand. I am just glad I can finally understand and appreciate all the references I've seen to it. And it's given me new appreciation for dueling pistols. And to be honest, I would love to see this translated into an actual movie, but I'd want to see them go wild with creative imagery. The only reason I saw this was because I noticed my mother and I don't get to see movies together any more. This was one of the few we could both agree to watch.

  GRIDMAN!  Episode 13, coming in with a title I like. The irony is that the swimming coach didn't really do anything wrong, but at least we got the premiere of Thunder Gridman. Episode 14, the idea of messing with people's sense of time around the world is done better than their other episodes, but still comedic since the writers conveniently forgot about the G-Call part of the show. Episode 15, I'm genuinely surprised they actually went with a romantic subplot here, or at least one that threatened to split the team up. Episode 16, easily going on a list of top recommended episodes from this show; it really shows the darker implications a show like this can have. Episode 17, I am surprised how they handled this hacker/temporarily-handicapped episode; I'd also recommend it. Episode 18, I am a little bummed that the hacker from the last episode didn't become the new 4th member of the Junk team, but the episode was pretty good over all, and we got the premiere of the Dragon Canon!

 Zenkaiger 45: Bad Luck/Good News.  Well, I definitely came back to an unexpected twist. I was wondering how the 5 Zenkaigers would do without their pirate friends. It really kept me guessing til the end. I thought they'd eventually summon the good luck of the KyuRangers, but it didn't play out like that. I saw Stacey switching personalities and returning Kikaitopia denizens to their home, but I was not expected his big declaration at the end there. The episode even started as a Magine-focused episode. I don't know if she truly had a character arc here, but at least her friends have her back.

  ReVice 14: Double Dealing Disasters!  This episode was so condensed with things that it doesn't really focus on one thing in particular. Still, there were strong moments, even if somewhat disconnected. I didn't want the commander of Fenix to be evil, but I didn't want him to be killed off by an evil imposter either! (BTW, his actor is way better than I ever could have imagined). Has Kadota/Demons always been this much of a loud crybaby? You're a solider dude, get it together. The 2 returning villains didn't offer much to this story, but I am surprised how well the ex-lawyer was able to call out Ikki/Revi. It's stuff like this that makes me truly understand why his mind could create something like Vice. I totally expected Sakura/Jeanne to drop the act and transform in front of her friends. And I really hope George gave the Deadmen a fake Gifu Stamp. After all that work to lure out the fake, he gave that stamp away way too easily.

That's it for now, my crowd.  Take care, your health is precious.

It'll still be a while before the Sonic Movie 2 drops. Until then, check out this interesting edit. A taste of things that could happen, perhaps? This is "【Shadow/Silver/Sonic the Hedgehog's "Baseball scene"】" by 『Paper Plane』.

Ignore her expression. Twilight loves the hug, you know it's true. 

How goes your weekend, my crowd? 

I recently saw the musical Hamilton. Very interesting. I can finally say that I understand the musical references and such now. It was way more rap and hiphop than I expected, but it was cool. 

It's been called to my attention that there is a lot of people in danger on YouTube right now, if they have a channel talking about Japanese cartoons, TV shows, movies, and such. Totally Not Mark got hit with the worst of it last year and had to work super hard to get his videos back. Another 'tuber named Suede also got hit pretty hard just recently, and all because he was doing individual episode reviews of Pokemon (I forgot how far he got, but it was a lot). He had to take all his videos down and start a new channel just to avoid a bunch of legal fines, even though US law protects what he is doing. Basically, these Japanese companies are finding new ways to over extend their reach and silence YouTubers because Fair Use laws don't exist in Japan. Makes me kind of sad, really.  At one time, I considered making a YouTube channel. There were many subjects I wouldn't have mind talking about, but Tokusatsu is one of them. Now I'm afraid to do that. These companies are getting way too aggressive, and I hope YouTube considers giving content creators GeoBlocking options soon. #Geoblocking4all, #ShoproGambit.

Take care, my crowd. 

Let's proofread the script~! It's time now to go over the results of Tuesday's game!

THE ★★★★★ S-RANK WINNERS ARE: @TomDaBombMLP & @PawelS

THE 1st PLACE WINNERS ARE: @Rising Dusk

THE 2nd PLACE WINNERS ARE: @Kujamih

The answer was B, The Plant Team.  And the trick part of the question was: I changed some of AJ's lyrics. Honestly, the first time I heard the song, I could have sworn she said "Plant a tiny seed", but it turns out she said "Plant our tiny seeds". Obviously, I replaced "Apples, carrots, celery stalks" with nothing but Apples, because obvious Apple family joke. Last of all, the real lyric is "everyone it feeds", not "everypony it feeds". Proof that even in Season 1, they sometimes got a little lazy with making consistent pony puns.  Did any one else mishear the lyrics when they first heard the song?

Take care, my crowd.  

Happy birthday, my friend!  

Huh. Messy mane Starscout...

How goes it, my crowd? 

Still snowing here. Not sure what Friday or the weekend will hold, but at least I've got tomorrow off!  It's just too dangerous to be on the roads right now. This is exactly why I say that snow should only be a December thing.

Thankfully, my back doesn't hurt anymore. However, the snow has triggered my allergies. I've got drainage and a sore throat now. I'm trying hard not to cough too much and to stay medicated. Ugh~ Snow is no good for fire types like me. 

Take care, my crowd.
