My comment on the new episode thread has probably been argued back by multiple people... Honestly I couldn't care less. For once I'm gonna be stubborn about it, that episode sucked. Period. I'm sorry if others think otherwise.

I hated it for its wasted potential, they had this fantastic opportunity to explore the flaws around getting a cutie mark and how they're not always a good thing. It pretty much reinforced why I hate cutie marks so Goddamn much, and it didn't help they made the kid deliberately antagonistic about getting a mark as though saying it's simply a bad thing to not have one.
"You can't be a Blank Flank forever!"
Why the Hell not?!

Wasted potential is worse than no potential, and that pretty much defines this new episode. What garbage.

Good moraftereve my friends!
How are we all?

Here it is, the Cadence/Stardust one-shot people voted for! Enjoy!

I'm really hoping for a future episode where Celestia does something that makes me exclaim "NO SHUT UP YOU [BEEP]ING HYPOCRITE!" Like, something far worse than she's ever done in the show's history thus far.
-
I am admittedly very intrigued by the synopsis of next week's episode. It might tackle an issue I've always had regarding cutie marks.
-
I take back everything I said in an earlier status of yours! I'd rather go to you for medical purposes than that clown in the new episode!

Woo-hoo! AJBS got featured on Fimfiction a third time!

The second half of A Journey Beyond Sanity's season five finale has been published! Old threats reemerge, Balance becomes unstable, and Stardust, Twilight and Spike find themselves cooperating with a reluctant Starlight, who plays a crucial role as any of them. It's time for the truth to be revealed, a truth that has been awakening from the very beginning. Enjoy!

"Look, Hearth's Warming is only around the corner, and we need complete coordination and focus for Canterlot High's play to work." The Princess of Friendship turned to her boyfriend and his two alternate selves, looking both exasperated and hopeful. "Surely it's worth the effort to allow the holiday spirit help you endure Timber's stay at CHS for the time being?"
The three versions regarded Twilight with simultaneous blinks. And the following outrage synced in perfect harmony.
"The Hell it is!"
"[BEEP] Timber!"
"What has that filthy camper ever done for us?!"
"He nearly killed everyone I love!"
Twilight sighed deeply. She knew her Jack would be difficult, but she had hoped the other two being with her human counterpart and Sunset would diminish their overactive contempt for the camp counselor. Still, she wasn't one to give up easily.
"I'm only asking you three, just this once, to cast aside this distaste for him in favour of enjoying the holiday spirit with your friends."
The three boys looked at the Princess as though she just demanded them to walk under the mistletoe with Flash.
"[BEEP] that!"
"Not worth it!"
"Not in a million times!"
This was gonna be a long day...

Playing my childhood gen, Pokemon Gold. And when the nostalgia hits just right...

A scene below from the next exciting chapter of A Journey Beyond Sanity, part two of season five's originally controversial finale, publishing tomorrow midnight! Enjoy!
"Ugh... Now where are we?" Starlight asked amongst the collective groans, slowly straightening upwards after that unpleasant transportation here. Really, that was the third one; should've grown use to it by now.
But yeah, that was a good question. Shaking his head slightly to get my proper bearings, Starlight and I gazed around curiously. Another town, albeit more similar to Ponyville than Earth-like this time around. No roads or vehicles as the eye can see. Silly looking buildings, and ponies walking around in, once again, inferior animation. None paid a single glance to the two equines and one dragon that seemingly popped out of thin air. But it was the detail of these inhabitants, along with my friends, that immediately dampened my mood.
Oh don't tell me, Gen III?
How did you possibly speculate?
Oh wonderful...
Spike, after rubbing his head in dizziness, blinked rapidly at the quiet town before us. "Huh... Looks just like Ponyville, almost."
Yes it does... You don't think Ponyville was inspired by this place, do you? That would make sense.
"So, once again, we've arrived in the wrong world." Starlight groaned, quite loudly in fact, prompting some passerbys to glance our way curiously. "Wonderful... How long will this keep up?!"
"Aww it's not so bad." Spike commented cheerfully. "Who knows, maybe Twilight's here!"
The pink equine rolled her eyes. "Oh, that would make me feel better..."
The young dragon turned to me, hope shining in his green serpentine eyes. "Stardust, can't you sense Twilight through that Balance magic of yours? She shouldn't be too far, right?" Well, it's worth a shot. Nodding to the gleeful Spike, I closed my eyes, concentrating. Balance might be a little unstable at the moment, but it shouldn't be asking for too much just to extend my senses-
"Ow!"
"What's wrong?" Spike inquired worriedly upon my vocal exclamation, rubbing my own temple at the sudden sharp pain.
It appears any attempt of furthering your senses are for naught. The alternative will be seeking out your Princess by hoof.
God dammit...
"Balance is still unstable, Spike." I informed him, and by extension Starlight. "I'd be able to sense her if we're closer to her, but for now, Twilight's beyond my reach." Which frustrated me as it saddened Spike. I had to know if she's okay. I had to...
Please, Twilight, please be alright...
"Oh..." Spike looked down disappointingly for a moment. Then, the youthful dragon immediately stared back up. "Then, we'll just have to find our missing friend the old-fashioned way! Let's go look for her!"
Starlight snorted, prompting our gazes switching to her. The unicorn was frowning sourly, tone leaking distaste, "And what, pray tell, makes you think I'll assist you in this little hunt? Tell you what, why don't you two go find your precious Princess, and I'll go do something more productive with my time."
Oh. So it's like that, is it?
Growing weariness some of this mare's attitude, I snapped back irritably, "Or, instead of being an entitled little [BEEP], how about you make yourself useful and help us find her?"
Starlight sneered. "Why should I? She's certainly not my friend." Dear lord! Was THIS what I was like long ago?! No wonder Rainbow and Applejack couldn't stand me back then! "What motivation would I have to ensure the safety of someone who caused my whole village to turn against me?! You wanna go find her? Be my guest, but our temporary partnership is on hold for now."
Hardly, my dear...
"What's stopping me from just leaving you here the moment we find Twilight?" That did the trick. Starlight's attempt of a swift departure immediately grind to freezing halt.
The unicorn glanced towards us, purple eyes blazing. "You wouldn't dare-!"
"Wouldn't I?" Big mistake on her part, assuming what I could and could not do. Cyan eyes glared back intensely against magenta orbs. "After constantly belittling me, my friends, my girlfriend? Intending to change history for your own petty revenge, ignoring the severe consequences doing so? All because you thought your one friend was taken from you because of a Godforsaken cutie mark?!" Starlight's jaw dropped, but I was far finished, pushing forward with a heated tone, "I almost pity you, Starlight. But since you intend on emotionally hurting my special somepony, deliberately so, alongside messing around with the very fabric of time for your own precious ego, all sympathy is vanquished. You want to keep being a thick-headed mare whose stubbornness will get herself killed? Fine by me."
There. All is said and done. Because I never felt sorry for Starlight Glimmer, not even until the end. The season five finale was too rushed and forced to make me properly express sympathy and fondness for this mare. Sunset's redemption in the first EQG was better-handled, and that sucked to no extent! It took season six before I actually grew to like this mare, but that was because she was far more fleshed-out. Her motivation behind her villainy was childish and purely laughable.
My best friend was taken from me as a child. Woe be to me! For revenge, I won't make friends but instead carry this silly little prejudice all the way to adulthood and force everyone to change their own self-identities to how I design them.
Starlight is basically Sunset if Sunset had the maturity of a rock - No offence Maud - and caused far more devastation to Equestria than the latter ever could. Thankfully, sympathy for a person was properly expressed to the form of a human version of my girlfriend immediately after this.
But, right now, we had to deal with this.
But you know you would never consider leaving this mare behind, despite all her intentions and jabs. You're far too soft-hearted to even consider it.
Oh I've considered it... But you're right about the first part.
"Come on Spike." I turned around, proceeding to go the other way. "Twilight shouldn't be too far, hopefully." That giant castle in the distance might be a good place to start. But then again, the alicorn would probably be asking around in the streets-
"Alright!" Hm? We glanced over to the unicorn. Starlight was positively fuming, and seemingly reluctant upon explaining herself. "I'll help you find Twilight..."
"You will?" Spike was more gleeful for this news, as I was relieved. Good, that plan worked. "That's perfect! Oh, I know, let's split up; it'd be easier to find her that way."
"An excellent suggestion, Spike." I beamed proudly at the young dragon while Starlight approached. "We'll take different routes in the town, ask around, and meet back here in, say, one hour?" They nodded, Starlight more hesitant to do so. "Good. Let's hop to it."
"Good luck guys!" Spike called out while running through the town square. Starlight, after a moment of a stare down between herself and I, slowly walked off to a different direction than Spike's own.
...So then... Gen III huh? Hopefully won't be a intolerable as the previous two trips.
Don't be so negative about this, Jack. Perhaps you may capture a Spinda while you're here.
Ha! Pokemon jokes. I love 'em.
...Sombra?
I will guess you'd like my services as well.
If it wouldn't be too much trouble. But time is short, and Twilight has to be found before-
Yes, I understand the repercussions. Anything to leave this accursed blissful world as soon as possible. I shall return shortly. That said, my own shadow morphed, taking on the form of the fallen King who galloped across the stone ground, passing by many startled ponies. With a small smile, I went a different way.
Starlight then Ahiuzotl. Spike then chimera. Twilight... Then... God I hope not.
Please... Be safe, love...

*Friend just shared new info regarding the synopsis of season seven's finale. Points at Hasbro.*
YOU MOTHER[BEEP]ERS!

Remember when they violated the show's theme song with that hip remix in the first EQG opening?
Pepperidge Star remembers. And it haunts him to this very day.

Stardust: "Anyway, Flash, please explain Star Wars to me. Let's pretend that I never saw any of the movies for the life of me."
Flash: "It's about Luke Skywalker trying to kill his dad for three movies."
Sombra: "...No."
Spike: "Yep. That's exactly it! Good work Flash!"
Sunburst: "Technically... He's not a hundred percent wrong..."
Sombra: "He's not a hundred percent right either."
Stardust: "So that's the whole saga is it? Who's Princess Leia?"
Flash: "Oh Princess Leia's his sister."
Stardust: "Okay."
Flash: "And they uh... They kiss or something."
Sombra: "Sure do, all the time. Face-eating make outs."
Stardust: "Who's Han Solo?"
Flash: "Han Solo's... The bad boy of the films. And he also kisses Leia more than once."
Stardust: "So it's basically a sci fi love story more than anything. Ya got a love triangle, a lot of incest, few battles in between."
Sunburst: "You just basically summed up Attack of the Clones."
Sombra: "No, he basically summed up the entire prequel trilogy."
Spike: "When are you gonna let me watch those anyway?"
Stardust, Sombra: "Never."
Flash: "And Han also has a big gorilla for a companion."
Sunburst: "...A big gorilla?"
Stardust: "You mean-"
Stardust, Spike: "Gor-Rill-Laz."
Sombra: "Shout out to Phil Collins..."
Stardust: "What's the Death Star?"
Flash: "Oh, the Death Star is the giant ball that Darth Vader lives in."
Stardust: "Yeah like his condo."
Spike: "It's his house, yeah."
Sunburst: "*Snorts humourously.*"
Stardust: "Haha... So you said Luke kills Vader. How does he do it?"
Flash: "Using the Jedi Mind Trick, right?"
Stardust: "...And what's a Jedi Mind Trick?"
Flash: "Well it's like this: You can move your hand as though you just hit the home run in a baseball match-"
Sombra: "Uh-huh...?"
Spike: "Hahahahaha..."
Flash: "- Or you can use a lightsaber to slice a person in half."
Sunburst: "...That's a trick? The lightsaber is powered by his mind?"
Flash: "Uhh, I think a lightsaber can only cut through everything but a lightsaber."
Sunburst: "...Not what I asked, but okay."
Spike: "This is genius trivia..."
Stardust: "So what happened to the Death Star?"
Flash: "It exploded, I know that."
Stardust: "Ya sure?"
Sombra: "Yeah I clearly remember the Death Star being removed for being in illegal space."
Sunburst: "It didn't pay the taxes, so the bank came for it."
Spike: "What is the Death Star for? What is its main function?"
Flash: "Umm..."
Stardust: "Yeah what does it do? Aside from being a sweet bachelor house for Darth Vader?"
Flash: "...I forgot what the Death Star's for? What does it do again?"
Sombra: "Jesus Christ..."
Sunburst: "Hey break down the name for us!"
Spike: "Yeah seriously, what do you think it's for?!"
Sombra: "It goes to worlds and gives them free spa tickets!"
Sunburst: "It's a giant paperweight."
Stardust: "It's a moving laser tag station."
Flash: "Look I've only seen these movies once."
Sombra: "And that should've been enough to know this basic [BEEP]..."
Stardust: "So who's Obi-Wan Kenobi?"
Sunburst: "You mean Old Ben Kenobi?"
Spike: "Pfft!"
Stardust: "Old Ben is that you?"
Flash: "Uhh... Oh yeah the teacher! He teaches the hero."
Sunburst: "So like a professor."
Spike: "Yeah of first grade."
Flash: He's like this 'Do this,' puts the blindfold on and do the thing. *Makes lightsaber sounds.* That's it. That's what he teaches."
Spike: "That's exactly it!"
Sombra: "That is pretty much what he teaches him."
Stardust: "What's an Ewok?"
Flash: "What's an E-what? An 'Enar?'"
Stardust: "Ewok."
Spike: "Enar! Tell us all about the Enars!"
Flash: "Ewok... Is it... I think it's a slug?"
Stardust: "Yes."
Sombra: "Yeah."
Flash: "I mean, remember when they fell into a giant trash compactor and there was some kind of huge slug in there or something?"
Sunburst: "Yep. Congratulations!"
Spike: "Remember when they fell in and went 'Artoo! Shut down the the compactor, there's slugs in here!'"
Stardust: "Ewok slugs!"
Sunburst: "Artoo! Threepio!"
Flash: "So if they're not humans, what's their life span?"
Stardust: "Human length."
Spike: "They look and act like humans in every single way."
Sunburst: "Well, they never really specify in the movies. They could be likely ancient."
Stardust: "I mean Yoda's old."
Sombra: "I- Shut the Hell up Jack."
Stardust: "Yoda's nine-hundred years old."
Sombra: "Yoda's dead, so that barely counts."
Flash: "He's dead?"
Spike: "Yeah, he evaporated. Remember?"
Flash: "Wait, he dropped dead? Like a heart attack?"
Sunburst: "Didn't really 'drop dead.'"
Sombra: "He died of old age. That's that."
Flash: "In the middle of the movie?"
Sombra: "Yes!"
Sunburst: "He became one with the Force."
Flash: "What does that even mean?"
Spike: "Yeah I'm lost about that too."
Stardust: "We'll tell you when you're older."
Flash: "I'm seventeen!"
Sombra: "Physically perhaps. You think Yoda's old? Jack is older than this universe."
Flash: "How old is that?"
Stardust: "...Around sixteen trillion years older."
Sunburst: "Aheh. A bit of an exaggeration, don't you think?"
Stardust: "Who's Padme Amidala?"
Flash, Spike: "...Who?"
Stardust, Sombra: "Correct answer."

Captain of the Guards, Prince of the Crystal Empire, a brave and noble stallion, husband, royal and father. It's a shame we never really see Shining do anything to convince us he's as awesome as those titles suggest.

I wonder what explanation they'll have for the macguffin known as Discord not solving everything right from the start in the movie.
