I haven’t been able to see notifications for anyone’s status updates for a bit now. I really hope it’s a glitch and not permanent. Reading status updates of those I follow is my favorite thing to do on this site, and if I can’t easily do that anymore it will significantly reduce the amount I continue to partake on this forum.

@Astral Soul I found a setting I can see em now. Only catch is I get a notification every time they post anything even on thread topics. But it’ll be fine for temporary till the glitch is fixed

Apologies if anypony's updates aren't getting any reactions or replies by me.
It's just that the forum is so buggy at the moment that I don't even get notified when somepony posts a status update. 
I hope these problems can be fixed soon and I know they will. 
In the meantime, this is very irritating. 
Good morning everypony!
Have a great day!

You can go to your account settings, click notification settings, then under followed content you can checkmark to receive notifications from followed users. Problem is it’ll send you a notification for every post they make not just status updates, but it works until they can get this glitch figured out.

Love waking up to a new G4 banner!
Great work as always, @Sparklefan1234! 
My throat and head are in bits after filming last night. We all screamed so much that I now have nothing left. 
I got high-fived by Jamie Foxx, that was pretty awesome! 
I'll have one more day of it tomorrow but for now, I'm gonna catch up on what I missed here. 
Good morning everypony!
Have a great day!

I'm always at home with her...

How goes it, my crowd?
The newest episode of TYT is out, and it's fine. A little cramped for the story they tried to tell, but the effort is there. ...Now we just need Sunny to say "I'M PANCAKE!".
Hope everyone saw my quiz that I posted on Tuesday.
I did get some replies, so it seems fine. Also, I noticed status update text is closer to people's avatar now. Anyone else notice that?
Take care, my crowd.

I had my last final exam of the semester yesterday morning, and I officially moved out of my dorm in the afternoon. I'm home for the summer now!
I'd rate my freshman year of college a 9 out of 10 - there were a few rough patches, but I worked hard all the way through and stuck with it. I'm looking forward to not just the upcoming summer, but to the start of my sophomore year as well.

Goodnight and take care
Sry for disappearing so quickly again,
but these days it's rather warm/hot getting closer and closer to 30°C and I'm rather tired in the evening
after a full day of working
Hope you like Sweetie Belle week so far

A question I continue to ask myself is “Is Season 9 even worth it?” I still haven’t gotten myself to watch it for an array of reasons. Mostly because the show (especially the mane six) meant so much to me, and seeing it and all the adventures they have together end will be emotionally devastating for me. Another reason though is that I kinda have spoiled myself of some things about the ending that I’m pretty positive I’m not going to like at all, and will just be salt in the wounds to the sadness I’ll feel when it ends. I don’t want to see it end, MUCH LESS see it end, and I don’t like it.
I know, I know all things must come to an end, and perhaps I’m robbing myself by not watching it end, but at the same time it’s also really really hard to let go of the fact that after all these years of being a fan, there’s still something new to it for me that I have yet to see. Perhaps it’s a feeling I want to keep forever, even if it means not seeing it. Perhaps I don’t want to see it end, so I can pretend it ends how I want it to.
It makes it harder that I’m certain there will never be a show again to elicit the same feelings that G4 have given me. G5 sure as heck ain’t gonna do it.
That’s about all I have to say. I’ve always felt a little weird for feeling the way I do about it, but it’s how I feel.-
@Samurai Equine Thank you for the advice it was nice to hear, and I think you are right that I shouldn’t let it control my life.
I think part of the fear about watching it end is cause it feels like the end of me, too. It was hard not to get invested into it for me. What I am about to talk about is not a topic I like to discuss cause the forum is touchy about the subject, and I don’t want to make others sad, but perhaps mentioning it will give more insight to everyone on why I feel about this as strongly as I do.
I won’t go into detail, but at the time I discovered MLP I was in a very dark place, and only still alive due to a fortunate circumstance that prevented my death. Then the show came and I was immediately hooked. It gave me a reason to continue, it gave me that glimmer of hope that I could be excited about something again. I don’t want to lose that glimmer of hope. I’m kinda scared of going back to that state when/if I watch it end.
Anyways I am sorry, I don’t mean to be depressing, or unload on you, but after reading your advice, I think it’s better I seek a professional about my issues I’m having regarding this. As you said I shouldn’t let it control my life, and I think I am letting it do so too much, and a forum can’t really help in this situation.
Thank you. *hugs*

Thanks everyone.
@Sven Seelenherz Yes I am very attached to the mane six. If it wasn’t them I wouldn’t have watched the show. Especially Applejack and Rainbow Dash. To me Rainbow Dash got shafted writing wise in season 8, and from what I hear it isn’t much better in season 9. Which sucks cause it took three seasons for her to jump to my favorite character.
Before seeing Season 8 I remember seeing fellow Dash fans such as @Megashating it cause how bad she was written. I thought surely it couldn’t be that bad. I didn’t agree with their opinions on Newbie Dash, so I thought maybe it’d be the same here, and boy did I hope it’d be the same, but nope. The continuous poor writing of her in the final seasons really does feel like a big F you to those of us who like Dash.
(She’s still my fav though. Not her fault she got written poorly)
All that said, I did enjoy it too, but the latter half of the show doesn’t give me the same feelings the first half of the show (especially seasons 1-5) give me. What I didn’t like about it will never take away the stuff I did like. That’s a good point to just ignore what I didn’t like about it.

I was for a couple of days wondering whether I should post this picture first, but decided against it in the end. Still ist must be at least postet at second position

Hello there, my crowd! Welcome to my Weekly Musings: Orange Edition.
[I ❤ JAPAN] -- [I ❤ THE COLOR RED] -- [I ❤ CELESTIA]
Feel free to leave a video request. Your video will eventually be featured in a future Weekly Musings entry! 
No door into summer? No door into summer.
Let's talk, my crowd.
The biggest thing that happened this week was my uncle's birthday. .png ":)")
Considering my mother's wasn't too long ago, I am beginning to thing there is a family history of TRYING to keep birthdays as close together as possible... Anyways, my uncle had a great birthday. He got many gifts, including a very special surprise that meant a lot to him. My mother really went above and beyond to make that happen.
I wasn't aware that doing new things would set me back. 
I've been making art for others, art for myself, and I've been exploring Pokémon Omega Ruby (I once played the original Ruby a long time ago, so I wanted to explore this remake). I'm having fun of course, but you'll have to keep reading to see how this has set me back...
The trailers keep coming and they don't stop coming... I saw trailers for MLP G5 Make Your Mark, Avatar 2, and Rescue Rangers. The hype train doesn't slow down, it just makes pit stops. 
I thought I'd be replacing the screen door this week. I asked for my uncle's help, but he refuses to do so until I've weighed all options. Thanks, uncle. Wasn't asking you to spear-head the operation, just wanted you to help me put in a new door. Either way, I'll be calling in a local business to see if a new piece of glass can be custom cut. It's not something I really want to do, to be honest. However, if it is the cheapest and easiest option, it might be worth looking into.
SUPERHUMAN SAMURAI SYBER-SQUAD! 
If I don't mention any healing scenes, you can rest easy, they're there. Likewise, if I don't get angry at the appearance of any PSA messages, it's because the episodes didn't do them. Be worried if I do mention them from now on.
- Episode 27, a teen's tiny terror! I was WAITING for this adaptation! Sadly, it's so bad that it makes me want to shred my brain cells. I want to blame it on this being the cheapest adaptations in tokusatsu history, but even this show has enough regular extras make the original story work. Monster footage and plot come from Gridman 31. No contest this time, Gridman 31 is the winner. They hired a one-time extra to make this story work. They wanted to give Syd a lesson about being a human that makes errors, which was all ready done, but they did it at the cost of continuity and making sense. (Considering what happened when I watched episodes 30 & 31, I may need to reevaluate episodes like this, because they might not be in proper order...)
- Episode 28, no boys allowed. Monster footage comes from Gridman 20, plot is original. The first few minutes with Kilo and Malcom are so rewarding continuity-wise, can we either pretend the previous episode didn't happen or just assume it belongs somewhere later in the series? The rest of the episode, a bit cringe-worthy at first, is a clever use of stock footage. Best of all, there is no “technology doesn't work that way” moment. And with one comment, the lunch lady might just be the smartest character on the show. Once again no contest, SSSS wins! It's rare, but when they make a good episode, they REALLY make a good episode!
- Episode 29, bad hair day? Monster footage and some of the plot comes from Gridman 19 (or maybe a little bit of Gridman 35). Wait, they actually acknowledged monsters getting a metal upgrade?! Has this always been a thing?!?! After that, it's the same old schlock. It's hard to pick a winner here. Both had moments that were vital to show, but both had their own brand of stupid as well. I never thought I'd say this considering the original is about a magazine model somehow getting a job as police woman, but both win. It's a tie.
- Episode 30, an unscheduled mess. The plot is completely original; monster footage comes from Gridman 27. While this episode doesn't do anything wrong per se, it's just so cut and dry that I'd swear this was meant to be played earlier in the series. Perhaps some episode shuffling is in order? It's hard to compare an episode about kidnapping and toys come to life against a boring yet sane episode about messing with a school's computer. I have to call it another tie. Both win.
- Episode 31, revolution never televised. Monster footage comes from Gridman 18, plot is original if not a bit dumb. Oh yeah, this episode confirms that these episodes are either aired or shuffled in a bad order. This episode invented the Dragon Canon, despite seeing it episodes earlier. Although, it is refreshing to see Kilo make an actual attempt to trap and attack Servo personally. Vivacious vocal unveilings, I was not expecting a live action shot of voice actor Jess Harnell! And they even threw in some Malcom abuse without it being a joke! Dumb moments aside, this episode was mostly solid, and it didn't have any impossible reviving-the-dead moments like the original did. With some slight hesitation, I must admit, SSSS wins.
NO DONBROTHER OR REVICE THIS WEEK! 
I got so enamored with everything else, that I just didn't have the time. I'll get back on it soon. I really do want to make room for all the programs I plan to watch.
MLP TYT 09: Twilight's Influence? 
Oh dear... Not only do we have another good story-driven episode, but we have something that is going to make the fans go wild with speculation. Is it possible that this unique unicorn holiday was inspired by Twilight Sparkle and they don't even realize it? The acronym fits TOO well. I never thought we'd get to actually see Trotformers, but here we are! The first official, actually animated crossover. It's good to see Sunny is still as studios as ever, even if this holiday slipped her mind. I like that Izzy's friends were honest when they got caught and still did the right thing. This episode could have been really bad, but it was quite solid! ...And why was Izzy struggling to lift a box with magic when she lifted an entire unicorn trap a few episodes ago? Is she secretly a magical prodigy but only when she isn't thinking about it too hard?
That's all for now, my crowd.
Take care, and see things clearly.

My dad noticed my mouse pointer which is shaped like Rainbow Dash flying, and said he really liked it, that it was neat. They’ve known I liked the show ever since I started watching it as a teen, but my dad has never acknowledged it. Which is no big deal, but I always kinda thought that maybe he had the stance of “That’s a little weird, but you do you.”
So hearing him finally acknowledge it, and it being positive felt pretty good, and a little weird too cause he isn’t really the type of guy to like stuff like that, haha.

People like to harp on EQG Holidays Unwrapped for not being a "True" finale, but it's also the only finale in regards to G4 that actually managed to avoid having Discord involved which worked in its favor. The main show, the comics, the manga, and even Pony Life, Discord fucking up everything for the lols played a huge part in all of those and was always detrimental to them
