I guess my opinion on Celestia deteriorated a little bit after the final episode when she forced Twilight away from her friends. 

She didn't drag her away in chains. Nor did she forbid the mane 6 from living in Canterlot or Twilight from spending most days at her castle. They CHOSE to live where they were each needed and plan a regular meet up. No pony was forced to do anything. 

Puzzle sat on his haunches. He loved mysteries and as was his namesake puzzles. This situation might be just a dream but if it was Luna made it just for him. He knew the perimeters he must decide the best path forward. He could try to pick the areas he was best at first. But did anypony really know what Element of Harmony really fit them? Or did you just have to try your best and find out?

Not wanting to wait he stuck his hoof out and spun in a circle with his eyes closed. The path in front of him was filled with what appeared to be dull pink gems. He did not know what element they represented but he trotted forward along the path. Suddenly a bright flash forced him to shut his eyes and dull roar caused him to clamp his hooves over his ears.

After a moment he looked up and he was in a field that he played in as a foal. The roar was not magical in origin. It was ponies arguing. They all seemed to be fighting over just about any fool thing you could think of. The shouts made it next to impossible to separate one fight from another. Surely this had to be the element of Generosity.

Puzzle grinned feeling pleased he had figured it out so swiftly. He moved over to two foals tugging back and forth over a ball. He was sure he could fix this problem swiftly.

“ Now now, why don't we all play with the ball? I’ll join you and we can all share in the fun. “

The foals ignored him and yanked apart with a mighty grunt. One foal fell snoot first into the dirt and started to cry. The other ran off sticking their tongue out.

“ There, there little one. Let's get you brushed off and see if you are ok. “

Puzzle got the foal on all four hooves once again. He cleaned him off and helped him bandage a small scrape. It was odd he did not remember having bandages in his saddle bag…. In fact, when did he get a saddle bag?

“ Thank you, sir. Now I'm gonna get my ball back! “

Before the foal could move there was a huge clang and both of them spun towards the sound. It appeared the foal who had taken the ball was not watching where he was running and had hit a buck ball post. He was now rubbing his snoot and crying heavily. The foal Puzzle had helped went to laugh but was cut off with a stern look.

“ Do you remember how your scrape hurt? Why would you want anypony to feel like that? Do you want to share the pain or make things better? “

Puzzle could not believe the words coming out of his muzzle but the words spurred the foal to action. He went and helped his counterpart to his hooves and started to pay him on the back. In a blink, Puzzle was in front of a glowing path of pink gems glowing warmly.

Sharing kindness. A sure way to lessen the pain of this world. Remember that the elements reside in everypony and not every situation is as clear as you might think. If you can't find the element in yourself seek it in others and it will be drawn forth within yourself.

My original best pony was Fluttershy. I consider her to be among the cutest characters, but I do not have much in common with her. I was particularly interested in Tempest for a time when the movie was released. But Luna has remained as my best pony since Luna Eclipsed.

For me Luna is best princess. Is it weird that best pony and best princess are two level but separate categories. 

To me it feels like the crystals are a patch to aid things without the elements of harmony to stabilize things. That they were fighting for so long that the "magical weave" is damaged. Sort of like a broken bone that just healed even a small fall can cause a lot worse damage then normal. So I think as magic returns and ponies learn to use the magic of their kind and of their own special cutiemark things will grow more stable and fix themselves. 

I started out a big Fluttershy fan( as per the name ) But Pinkie and Dashie became my favorites. The same with Izzy and Zipp. I loved Izzy at the start and for sure she is still top tier. But Zipp is edging her out as best pony for G5.

Outside of MLP, is there any other franchise that you like to collect any type of merch?

SW stuff. Specifically dueling grade light sabers. I have 3 that I can duel with and one I can train with but the blade is not made to take impact at all. I use them as a form of exercise/cardio that isnt running.

Snow Leopards are my favorite wild cat. They're majestic.

Got movies that you're waiting for/looking forward to seeing?

I am waiting for Thor Love and Thunder as well as Shazam Fury of the Gods. Love super hero movies. 
What about you?

Well, I hope you are doing better now. 

I am getting a better bit by bit. Meditation and working out again are making a big difference.

Where have you been? 

I stepped away from most things due to some serious personal losses. Plus I moved across country back to the east coast.

Favorite wild animal?

Oh that is hard cause I love any wild cat. But Honey Badgers are amazing. They fear and care about nothing. The documentary I saw on them made me love their intelligence and refusal to stop.

Can ponies use the force? Could you teach an earth pony scrub like myself? 

I would assume that yes ponies can the Force. And would train any pony that wants to learn.

Holy crap I totally forgot about this

Yea I came back and figured id try to get goin again. 

@Skitty Skittles
Eldrich tore across the wasteland towards the sisters. He knew that their supplies were limited and the faster they ended the fight the safer they would be. He wanted to avoid hoof to hoof combat if possible too. It was one thing to get lumped up in the vaults gym but another out here. His immune system might not much like the bacteria and stress cuts and bruises would provide. As he crested the hill he thought he heard gunfire or fighting. But that could be his mind playing tricks. He said a swift prayer to Luna and charged forward. His horn started to glow and then over glow until even in full sunlight he was a beacon of green balefire. ( rookie movie he would likely regret this later ) 

" Abby where are you?!" 

His shout echoes across the Equestrian wastes. This unicorn was as green as the radioactive sunsets and just dropped any element of surprise he might have. But the sisters would sure have the focus off them if the raiders were not deaf and blind.........

Is this a pilot (test if it will become a regular series), a special (one time story), or a regular episode?

When is the next episode coming out?

It was a special to kick off the new series. The next 8 episodes are September in the US I believe

 I was mainly agreeing with the "boring" part. 

 

 

I rush my thoughts sometimes and I'm sorry.

I was interpreting what I thought the plot of the A New Generation movie was and how I thought the Make Your Mark special story

felt similar from my perspective. 

 

 

Oh. My mistake. 

No need for apologies I was just pointing out that there was more to it then was being mentioned and that there was a difference between the move and special that was not being brought up. That's all.

I watched Make Your Mark again & I love these characters but I felt like this conflict was a slight repeat of "A New Generation"  

(One pony thinks another is bad because of their abilities.)

which, makes it seem like they already used their best idea for the movie and repeated it because they couldn't think of anything else. 

That is a pretty big over simplification of the situation and ignores the actual complaint. Posey was actually repeatedly inconvenience by abilities she did not have access to. She didn't hate them for their ability but for the fact that people were wrecking her day with them because they didn't know how to use them properly and that they were glitching ( though that was unknown to her. )
Further the first conflict is again being over simplified because they clearly fear attack not just the abilities the others have. They fear violence not just the differences. The differences are a scapegoat to the real fear.

Well, that's nice to hear. Unfortunately, no, I never really had the chance to collect MLP stuff. But I have been considering looking into the MLP comics, because I do like comics. Would you say they're worth picking up?

I enjoy them. I got into them late so I am slowing buying the anthologies to try to get as many of them as I can. Plus the one shots etc. So far I have found somthing to enjoy in all of them. But will be frank with you. If I am a fan of a franchise I can find something redeeming about the worst of its media. Like I enjoy the Star Wars Holiday Special. 
But for real the writing is decent. The stories feel like the show and its a fun way to carry MLP with you on trips etc.

I definitely am going to do my best to go into it with an open mind when I eventually do get to it.

I will say the songs are a bit better then G4. At least in my opinion. So do you collect comics/plushies/or any other MLP stuff? 

Welcome back to the herd. The G5 series is a lotta fun. You just gotta give it room to be its own thing. And finishing up G4 will be magical. ( I still cant watch the last season again I choke up ) 
Ill tell you from my one bronycon I went to the fandom is awesome. Glad to see you back. 

I had noodles and mushroom stir fry. Followed by a protien shake for desert. Trying hard to drop the weight I gained back. 

I went and bought batman comics to get inspired for working out again. I want to build the body I want rather then be sedentary and comics/anime is what motivates. me. 

I loved the start. It opened up the world. Is starting to deepen the characters and it showed real potential with its songs. I am really excited to see where this goes. Now to read my G5 comic. 

So far Im really happy with it. I love the songs and two characters have grown on me already. 
So I have high hopes.
