"Did you know this book is older than your dad?"

turns to see I just said that to my stepdad, and not his son

I can't help laughing at how you boldly just bluntly stated, 'Sexy bikini Glimmer '

I would like to thank the artists who made wonderful art of my OCs, including but not limited to @Bakugou is my Man, @MidnightFire1222, and @MarvelMoon

(Would have included more but apparently several of the users have changed their name from since the time they made the pieces of art. )

 My favorite Fluttershy episodes by season:

Dragonshy: Fluttershy stands up to a dragon so big she can fit in his eye.

Hurricane Fluttershy: Fluttertree in the opening is the funniest opening; Rainbow Dash shows a lot of concern and sympathy for Fluttershy's lack of self confidence; Fluttershy's training montage (with Angel Bunny showing none of his bratty tendencies); In the end, Fluttershy improved her wingpower tenfold

Keep Calm and Flutter On: Fluttershy manages to make the Spirit of Disharmony, Discord realize how much important friendship is. She became his first real friend.

Filli Vanilli: The Return of Flutterguy; When the ruse was exposed, the crowd was cheering at her singing rather than laugh at her for her deep voice or boo her for apparently lip-syncing the whole time

Scare Master: Ultimately gave her friends a great scare; the return of Flutterbat (even though it was a little disappointment it was just a costume rather than her discovering a temporary ability to shift between forms)

Flutter Brutter: 2nd most relatable episode to me; Shy shows Tough Love but still Kindness to her slacker brother, who's quick to give up when frustrated (something I understand quite well); The song is my pick-me-up song when I'm feeling overwhelmed; thanks to this episode, I completed my University schooling.

Fame and Misfortune: She stands up to her haters, pointing out a strong truth that not everyone completely changes themselves after only one lesson/epiphany. It may have fallen on deaf ears, but it was still an important lesson

Sounds of Silence: Autumn Blaze and the Kirins, why couldn't you have made more cameos? You're amazing, even when in scary-looking Nirik forms!

She Talks to Angel: Angel Bunny is Rescued from the Scrappy Heap; Plus Andrea Liberman did a great job voicing "Angel Pony"

And now to thank people for their kindness to me:

@flurry for the advice the other day

@Emperor Azurailo for making my reformed Changeling Will Guide design and being a great boyfriend in Character/letting my character be his Royal Consort. (We're not actually boyfriends in real life, just good friends)

@Eren Jaeger for letting me roleplay as one of his character's father.

@Mesme Rize for being my OC's occasional doctor, and for inspiring me to have my own Lamia Pony form

@Maple Bat for being a wonderful roleplay partner

And my best friend on the Forums, @Loyal Defender for letting me watch all his video game playthroughs, our creative Private Roleplays, and our real life friendship that is still very strong even through some rough patches after 2-3 years

Thank you so much, my friend! *hugs* You're the bestest friend I could ask for, too!

I discovered the show purely because I was bored and curious back in 2013, I'm pretty sure. Seeing it on Netflix, and deciding to give it a watch, I found that I was super into the show. So I watched the next episode...then the next....then the next, then the next...soon after I realized how much I truly enjoyed the show. It lead me to meeting many brony friends on Minecraft, on a now-closed server known as Pony Concordia. That's where I met most of my friends. It lead me to joining Legends of Equestria for a year or two, until my sister ended up getting me banned for reasons I won't disclose. It lead me to joining Discord in 2016, where, of course, I met many of my friends. And then, I joined MLP Forums on September 29th of 2017, and in February 28 of 2018, that's when I met and befriended my best friend, @Will Guide. I'm so happy to have been able to meet all of you! 

We all know many bosses with fitting themes. But what pony would fit with what theme of a boss?

Well in addition to @Kyoshi, I consider people like @Loyal Defender, @Emperor Azurailo, @Eren Jaeger, @Aurora Wolf, @TheRockARooster, and @Mesme Rize, (when MLPF'S official Danger noodle would slither by) to be among the nicest in my life

Right back at ya, buddy! 

She's the kind of friend everyone would want to have - she's curious, teasing, playful, powerful, and has advice when you might need it! 

leaves a box of chocolates and a hoofmade moon charm on your bed

A note is left: 

"Constantly getting chocolates is nice, but they only last so long. So I included a special present that'll last forever! Enjoy this special moon charm! (It has whatever charm you imagine it would have. Wink!"

Do you know that I once spent a solid month taking pictures of phases of the moon? I find it so beautiful when the phases are so clear!

Have you ever tried to put a pony to sleep yourself?

Pay heed to her voice whispering amonst the clouds. Let the moon's light bath you in it's glory...and kiss my hoof. 

"I'll be sure to do all three, the latter first and foremost~!" Loyal leans down and gives Moon's hoof a royal smooch.

Does not the Princess of the Night matter to anypony? Even whilst mine sisters are busy with royal duties, Nightmare Moon can yet comfort thee.

Just come a glint closer my sweet little foals... 

Loyal, being the naive, trusting and fearless pony he is, takes huge steps up onto Moon's throne. Being a small pony, those steps aren't easy to ascend. He looks cutely up at the Alicorn of the Night.

I love everything about this.

Oh, this would so be what I would say if I had thought of it!

While software updates are great they also take FOR-EVE-ER to install.  

That's why I always have an emergency book nearby to help make the time go "faster". 

I meant for programs themselves, silly!

Twilight, let's be honest,

Is there anything better than a software update? Satisfies me when I see one!

I actually remember once pointing out that Tirek likely represented Earth ponies, Chrysalis represented Unicorns, and Cozy Glow represented Pegasi. Now that I've seen all three commit heinous actions that directly relate to each race (Tirek draining Earth pony magic, Chrysalis turning Unicorns against Rarity, Cozy misleading the Pegasi), it's hilarious to think that an observation I made turned out to be true in the end!

I think it's a go kart motor. 

I think Twi's working on a marvelous invention called a 'car'.

@Loyal Defender It keeps making a *Vroom*, *Vroom* sound. 

I......have never heard of a hard drive doing THAT. What model is it..?

@Loyal Defender I'm attempting to invent a hard drive like the one you are describing but I can't seem to get it to work properly.  

Being a decent experienced person with computers, I might be able to help? What's the issue?

@Loyal Defender (It's a quote from The Simpsons.)

Uhm...Never mind. 

@Sparklefan1234(Ah, okay!)

Still, nothing gets me more hyped than the potential of potentially advanced technology!

And another thing they could do is make fail-proof external hard drives.

Sorry, I'm a little salty because mine hasn't been accessible recently...the power adapter and USB port aren't working, having tried multiple cables for it. 

I could use a SATA to USB to access it directly, but having bought one of the wrong size, I'll have to wait and see if I can get one of a 3.5" and not a 2.5". If not, years upon months of special memories of the past will be unaccessible.

@Loyal Defender Your ideas are intriguing to me & I wish to subscribe to your newsletter. 

Newsletter?

I honestly love how chill Twilight was being about the whole time loop thing despite the fact she'd just be reset the next day and not remember it.
It was likely because she knows, having dealt with Equestrian Magic, it was nothing new.
I also loved the little twist to make it SEEM like the Sirens were the antagonists of the special, only to find out that it was a total misunderstanding of what they were up to, revealing that they WEREN'T responsible for the time loop. And as @Will Guide described to me, they weren't even evil. They were just obnoxious teenagers, because that's just how some teenagers are.

The special overall really surprised me with its plot twists, and predictable, yet satisfying story. And a title of 'Sunset's Backstage Pass', not being literal, was a good title choice, seeing as she wanted nothing more than to enjoy seeing PostCrush, and didn't even involve a possibly expected 'protagonist gets a chance to meet her idols with a special VIP pass' concept. And speaking of PostCrush, I really loved how they portrayed the concept of how your idols aren't as cool as they seem to be, and that they could actually turn out to be total jerks on the inside, while seeming cool on the outside.
