Here's another one that's creepy in a... different way.

Just some background information to why I'm posting these... I'm on an Anime America binge watch. Because why not. 

Check her channel out if you like anime, though. (Not sponsored)

Below is a link that will scar you. 

Please do not watch if you are sensitive to mature topics or rape.

My four cats. I'm already on the road to becoming a crazed cat lady, aren't I?

I would just like to thank everyone who gave me birthday wishes. It made me smile and it was a nice surprise after I logged back on my account. 

Going to Russia tomorrow!

Packing takes a lot of work. 

Without any spoilers, how was the premiere?

Planning to watch the new EG special in the weekly chomps given by the Digital Series.

No spoilers, but I'm just curious, how would you rank the special out of 10? (For those who've seen it). 

In case some of you didn't notice, I posted a status update a while back basically saying RD was no longer my "best pony".

Well, guess what?

That was to lead up to this, a anticlimactic April fools joke. (Translation: RD is still best pone.)

To make up for it, I will finally do my AJ character review. And, no, this is not a prank. 

Applejack: An Underrated Gem or a Celebrated Hero?

Even with me not being a early dedicated FiM fan, I caught on early on that AJ wasn't exactly known as "best pony", and that title was usually given to RD, Flutters, or party horse. 

Even so, the way I see it now, AJ's rep has sharply increased.

No longer is she the butt joke background pony, but a hero who has won the fan's hearts.

Don't believe me?

Let's take a few popular bronies/pegasisters in the FiM community: Applegeek, Lily Peet, SilverQuill, Equestron, Sweetie Bloom, etc. Regardless of what you think of these fans, they're all fairly popular, and they all appreciate Applejack.

 But... what do I think of Applejack? 

In my opinion, the only two ponies that could probably pull off all five Elements (not including Magic) would be Pinkie Pie and Applejack. Both of them show a wide range of abilities, emotional and physical. I strongly believe that with their archetypes they could pull off those five Elements.

I'm not going to get sidetracked with theories, though. My point is, Applejack can be a lot of things. 

She can be funny, bringing out the best of her family and others. (i.e. Sisterhooves Social, where it is directly stated of how good a sister she is to Apple Bloom). She can be loyal. (i.e. The Cutie Mark Chronicles, where she leaves Manehatten to go back to her family. Also, direct quote: Why of all the... This is your sister Applejack, remember? The loyalest of friends and the most dependable of ponies? - Applebuck Season). You see where this is going. 

In the beginning, there was a lot of "meh" about Applejack. Now? I don't think so, and I can clearly see why. 

Applejack is stubborn, competitive, overprotective, blunt, nurturing, hard working... all traits we didn't see a lot of in the early seasons. 

In Seasons 1-3, I'd say, we only saw glimpses of these traits. Sure, they'd be one of the focuses of an AJ - centric episode, but we never really saw them develop in the background, which is much of what made Pinkie Pinkie, Rarity Rarity, Twilight Twilight, and so on. What did AJ do (mainly) in seasons 1 to 3? Apples. And... understandably, that didn't really make her a fave of the fans. 

All that changed as MLP progressed, though. (Yes, I prefer modern MLP to early MLP. Fiighht me!) AJ got background development, and suddenly she got a popularity boost. Now, I'm not going to sit here and say AJ's currently as popular as RD or Flutters or even Pinkie Pie ever were, but it is remarkable to see such an admittedly boring character transform into my 2nd fave. 

In conclusion? Applejack really is best background pony. 

Well, this status update might take a while.

Firstly, I come back with a whopping 114 NOTIFICATIONS. This may not seem like a lot to you guys, but maybe it's a bad thing I haven't checked my inbox for a while. 

Second, I have found my latest obsession: DDLC. Seriously, go check it out if you haven't. On the subject of that, though, I have recently lost my Windows computer (which is why I've been gone), and therefore am struggling to find a way to download DDLC without going through the trouble of creating a Google account because I'm using my only other option: Chrome. First world problems, am I right?

Enough about me, though. How has MLP and Forums been? Through all the havoc of this week (and the previous), I haven't touched MLP in a while, and I honestly don't feel like digging  through other countless EQD posts just to find the ones relevant to S9 and G5. A quick update would be nice :) 

Thank you all and have a great spring break!

(Oh, that was actually less than I thought I would write)

I'm SOO SOO SOO SOO SOO excited for S9 now! If you've missed it, there's a new S9 trailer that Discovery Family's Twitter posted. If you don't want spoilers, shield your eyes!

I just got done watching "The Ritual" on Netflix. Solid flick is your into scary films, like I am, but I thought it was kind of predictable and all around forgettable. 

Sooooooo.... I've got some interesting news to say the least.

Ever since the announcement that FiM's Season 9 will be the last, I've begun to rewatch the episodes from Season 1. While I was watching, I picked up on some tidbits I didn't notice before or just forgot about. Through those tidbits, I'm pretty sure I developed a new "best pony".

Or two, really.

As I did with the "guess my new favorite show" status update, I've proposed a guessing game to see who can guess my new two "best ponies" before I edit my profile. You can look back at my "character reviews" status updates for clues about what I think about the characters, but since I haven't done a status update for Pinkie, AJ, Starlight, or Flutters yet I'll also give my previous rankings of the Mane 7. (I'm including Starlight because she's practically in the gang.)

1.) Rainbow Dash.

2.) Rarity.

3.) Pinkie Pie.

4.) Applejack.

5.) Twilight Sparkle.

6.) Starlight Glimmer.

7.) Fluttershy.

Guess away and enjoy your weekend!

I forgot about the new short today, but good thing Forums has me covered. 

On the one end, I'm super excited for G5 and all the possibilities it could have. But I really don't believe I'll find a show with this type of magical touch G4 had on me. Here's to hoping G5 lives up to expectations! 

Well then, after just recovering from my cold I get treated like shit my my friends (excuse my language for anyone who's sensitive with that). I'm really not trying to throw a pity party here, I just sort of need something for this day I've experienced. I don't believe I've ever felt this depressed. I won't go into detail because I'm sure nobody would want to here it. I just sort of want to explain my inactivity on Forums as vaguely as I can manage. 

I'm sick. 

Does anyone else remember Leap Frog, I mean, my childhood?

Here's a sample if you don't:

I just realized this exists... dear god...

Going to bed at 1, waking up at 10. Typical me. 

(SPOILERS FOR MAGICAL MYSTERY CURE)Twilight is best Princess- A Character Study

From the very start of the show, Twilight has always stood out to me. It's not because she's the main focus of the show, or even her mental and psychical development. Twilight stood out to me because she was a nerd. Now, this really mattered to me, not only because I could easily identify with her, but also because I barely ever see a nerd being the main character of a show, unless the show's main goal was to educate or all of the character were supposed to have the nerd archetype. Usually, I saw the "nerd" character as a supporting lead, so seeing Twilight be a book nerd and a strong leader really stood out to me.

Now, let's move on to what I really want to address in this character study, why Twilight is best Princess. Now don't get me wrong, I love all the Princesses to an extent, but Twilight is the best one in my eyes, and here are three reasons why. 

1.) A big chunk of Twilight's character is her friends. Celly and Luna support each other, sure. Cadance and Shining Armor appear together a lot, also true. But Twilight's reason of becoming an alicorn was because she needed to help her friends, and through that devotion and care for her five besties, it makes every triumph Twilight succeeds in even more well earned. It is an understatement to say Twilight would be nowhere without her friends. Equestria would be nowhere without Twilight and her friends. (As seen in the season 5 finale).

2.) Twilight's care can get the best of her. Now let's move on to one of Twilight's greatest strength  and flaw, her care for her friends. On the one side, Twilight's care just shows how much she'll do for her friends, and to what lengths she'll go. On the other, Twilight's need to protect her friends allows her to be subject to one of the flaws of Applejack, she doesn't accept help. This trait was very evident in Twilight for a while, until is was finally addressed directly in the Season 8 finale. Even though this is a flaw, it just goes to show how much she loves her friends. 

3.) Twilight's extremely relatable. This reason kind of mixes two reasons to love Twilight: her adorableness and relatability. First off, Twilight is adorable. From her wide range of expressions that could easily match Pinkie Pie to how she cracks under pressure, Twilight's reactions to certain events are just a joy to watch. Secondly, Twilight is just so relatable to me. Her geek outs are hilarious to watch and just fill her with so much character. She easily avoids your typical Mary Sue protagonist. 

And that's my character study on Twilight! Next will be Apple Horse!

Goodnight everypony! Have sweet dreams! 

I have a new favorite show!

MLP: FiM used to be my favorite show, and even though I've often gone back and forth on what my favorite TV show is a lot, I now have decided what my new favorite show is, and am pretty certain this won't change anytime soon. However, to make this more fun, I want to give you all a couple of possibilities of to what my new favorite show is. Note that I love all the following shows.

• Steven Universe
• RWBY
• Gravity Falls
• The Office
• Sailor Moon
• Miraculous Ladybug
• The Powerpuff Girls

Have fun guessing and have a great day!

(BONUS if you can guess my favorite character from show, all on first try). 

Good morning everypony/creature!

Excited for the new short?

I'm about to watch the  MLP Movie for the fourth time. Just gotta get my popcorn and then I'm set!

My review of The Journal of the Two Sisters (spoiler free)

I just got done reading The Journal of the Sisters by Amy Keating Rogers and would like to give it a quick review. Overall, the book was quite entertaining. A lot of world building was revealed, but if you were picking up this book to journey into Luna's mind of jealousy for her sister, you would not find it here. Even so, I really enjoyed this book. It was a pretty fast read (as most MLP books are), but even with the read being fast, it still explored so much about the two princesses and the world of Equestria. Now for a list of likes and dislikes!

What I liked about the book

• A lot of world building explored
• Different sides of Luna and Celestia revealed (Celesia being a bookworm and Luna being a prankster)
• The writing style of Amy Keating Rogers suits the book well and benefits it
• A fun, quick read

What I disliked about the book

• Although the fun, light hearted tone overall benefited the book, I wish some of the darker area's of Luna's mind were explored
• Some confusion with Celly and Moonbutt being alicorns, as in the show it was treated like they didn't know about the birth of an alicorn. 

Overall, I'd recommend the book, and if you don't want to buy it, a YouTube channel called Midnight Solace has an audio read of it.
