I routinely dream about death and destruction because I'm apparently kind of fucked up, I'm a straight white guy who is entirely comfortable with himself, and if I know I'm dreaming, which has happened a few times, I stop fearing anything. My dreams, my rules. Bring it.

Equestria Girls: 5/10 Sunset Shimmer had great potential as a villain, but she was a cardboard cutout, and a lot of the plot was incredibly flimsy, especially the shoehorned romance that every hgih school setting seems to be required by law to have. The reason my score isn't lower is because I genuinely liked the music in it and I didn't hate watching it. Rainbow Rocks: 8/10 I love Rainbow Rocks. Sunset went from terrible villain to one of my absolute favorite characters in this movie, plus it launched my new favorite ship, SunLight. The music was great, and especially the animation on the Dazzling songs was excellent. It doesn't get a perfect score, however, because the relationship between music and Equestrian magic is never once explained in the movie, and because the Hate Plague villains are a bit too much of a staple of the franchise as a whole, much as I like the Sirens as villains. Friendship Games: 7/10 Good movie, though not as good as Rainbow Rocks. I like that this time, the plot is something smaller in scale than world domination, despite the mishaps with Sci-Twi's magic seeker device. Sunset is developed well as a character and I liked the mirroring between the climax of the first movie and the climax of this one, when Sunset confronts Midnight Sparkle. The music is once again excellent, especially the final part of Unleash the Magic. I do think it's too bad they didn't use the deleted scenes, where Twilight comes over from Equestria and she and Sunset discuss her situation, and where What More Is Out There is a duet between Sunset and Sci-Twi. Legend of Everfree: 6/10 I was underwhelmed, really. Them getting magical powers, fine, but I don't think it was handled as well as it could have been. The music wasn't as good as it was in the earlier movies, either, though by no means bad. Gloriosa wasn't the most interesting villain, and I wasn't really a fan of the attempts at humor in this one. I still think it was a better movie than the first one, though not at the level of the other two, hence the score.

Not a chance. I have a great life here and I don't want to give it up. I don't even like going out of the country for more than a few days, let alone move to a whole other dimension.

Ignore it entirely. I've got better things to do than be bothered about someone liking my choice of shows. If the bullying would get physical, for whatever reason, I hit back. I doubt that'll happen, though. I've never been bullied for it, and being 28 sort of puts me beyond the age bracket where people care what I watch.

Why not steal the trophy and turn myself in? Given how forgiving ponies tend to be, I really don't think the punishment would be that severe. It's noble that Octavia wants to sacrifice herself for me, but that really only makes the situation more difficult to explain. In either case, though, I'm stealing the trophy.

I think that, eventually, she should go back to Equestria. Yes, she has come to love the human world and her friends there, but there's no denying she isn't from there. Aside from that, the Equestrian magic she and her friends possess doesn't belong in the human world and it doesn't seem like a good idea to leave it there in the long term, given what happened in the Reflections arc in the comics. Ultimately, while the choice will be hard and painful, I think Sunset will choose the greater good and return to Equestria, and seal the portal forever.

Probably slice of life, romance, and a bit of adventure for me. I usually only read shipping fics when I read fanfics, there are only a few fanfics I've read at all that didn't necessarily involve shipping, all of which were from other fandoms than MLP but shared one trait: they were Peggy Sue fics (not related to Mary Sue), fics where a character goes back in time to relive events with future knowledge. Don't know why, but that genre really draws me in.

I'd be fine with it, really. G4, much as I like it, has pretty much run its course. I hope Hasbro realizes this and will allow the series to end strong, without falling into seasonal rot like many other good shows have done in the past. Honestly, I was already beginning to fear for that in season 6, but that season's second half and most of 7 and 8 have redeemed it for the most part. A G5 with all-new characters and a different setting would allow the show to feel 'new' again, while hopefully retaining the traits that made G4 work so well. Sure, it would take some time to get used to, but I really don't think it's something bad.

I think Rainbow Dash and Starlight could definitely appreciate it, and maybe Rarity as a guilty pleasure, but I'm not too sure about the others. Of course, it also depends on which album they're listening to. I think they'd mostly enjoy Phobia or anything that came later, since a lot of those songs aren't that 'hard', so to speak. I might be projecting here, though, since Phobia is my personal favorite.

As a villain, she was legitimately threatening even though the reason for her turn to evil was rather weak, and as a reformed character I really like her sarcastic side, the way she still tends to use powerful magic as soon as things get tough, and her direct way of saying things. She's really become one of my favorite characters after she was reformed.
