  1. And the paths he must walk are precarious, to say the least:
  2. Congrats. You'll never forget it. I vividly remember my first concert, all the way back in 1999.
  3. These made me laugh, they may well not make you laugh depending. My apologies, you'll have to excuse me. I have some history in my background with the old YTP / YTPMV community, so I can't help but be thrilled by these. Ah, to be a 27 year old making videos like a 14 year old, how I miss those days.
  4. It snowed two days ago, and my brother and I got the driveway cleared without too much trouble. It is snowing again, and you'd have thought we'd done nothing.
  5. I'm thinking that that snow is gonna have to be shoveled once the precipitation finally stops. Goodie.
  6. Getting pumped to make my next couple pieces of Pony Art, these are going to be about Gen 5. I am looking to port my creative process to Gen 5. Not going to stop working with Gen 4, but I want to see if my approach can really be ported to Gen 5 successfully. I think it can, and that I can draw out the same things from Gen 5 that I draw out of Gen 4. It won't be entirely the same, but it will be...familiar, and very much worth doing.
  7. I wish I could say that only one friend has done me like that, but it's more than one, let's not get too into how many. I am the problem. I stand by what I feel is right. It isn't even that I say what I mean and I mean what I say, I can be plenty diplomatic. But there are things that I just cannot be persuaded to do or not do. And so a lot of people have just left me behind. Sometimes that happens gracefully, and sometimes not. Sometimes people just move on, some people feel the need to make gestures. It often didn't mean the same thing to them that it meant to me. Gets me into harms way all the time. It hasn't ruined me, but it has certainly baffled me.
  8. Honestly, the only Pony I have ever experienced a strong urge to hug per se is Zipp Storm. She is by far the most snuggly of the Gen 5 ponies, and really the only pony I've wanted to cuddle.
  9. A story that ends well is a story that means something good. Something good is hard to come by, so we should carry it with us whenever we can. Still, I cannot help but lament that they got ahead of us. We are far away from Equestria. I have to go one believing that it will still be there when we arrive.
  10. I had that as a double CD album back in the day.
  11. What to say about The End of the End? I will quote George Washington's last words and leave it at that; "Tis well."
  12. Glad to see this episode gets the love it deserves. This is the last, slice of life, once upon a time in Ponyville episode, and I am glad that they decided to end things on a high note. For me, the episode represents a type of redemption, in that Big Mac is no longer going to be alone (in a way that the entire Apple clan could never fix). Big Mac got out of his own way and did sumthin' worth doin' and married Sugar Belle. Their courtship was not without its hardships. But between them, Spike, Discord and Mrs. Cake made the formal proceedings very humorous to watch. It was nice to see Grand Pear one more time. And who could forget about that strange, new world of a dream Granny Smith had, that old Mare must be a forward thinkin' pony, in her own way.
  13. I don't know whether to feel disappointed, or somehow vindicated, that adult bodies for the CMC resulted in a biological tornado. Only the CMC could pull something like that off, though perhaps the adult bodies were not the direct causal factor.
  14. I need to wash mine too, and I cannot lie.
  15. This, the last of all Daring Do episodes is the first, and only Daring Do episode that I can truly say I loved. It wraps up the characters in a touching and humorous way, in the true spirit of MLP FIM. It was nice to see the whole Daring Do crew find a better way forward for themselves, and gain some self awareness. Now these characters are not just walking cliches and comic relief, they get to be themselves and pursue better things. I am glad that this is where FIM left matters, as far as Daring Do and crew are concerned.
  16. There's no freakout like a Starlight Freakout, and Trixie needs to leave Phyllis alone!
  17. Seeing Rarity and Spike's relationship go through a shift was painful for me, but necessary. The point is, their friendship did survive, even if the routine and rhythm of it changed a bit. There's no stopping change. For me, a friendship that adjusts and survives can redeem the spirits of all the other friendships I've had, which have already ended.
  18. Indifferent Bunny Noises here...this episode just didn't do much of anything for me. Seeing Angel in Fluttershy's body was funny. Seeing Fluttershy in Angel's body was...forgettable. The pitch of this episode sounds a lot more funny than it actually is. They were certainly trying to be respectful of the old FIM magic here, but they didn't quite pull off the classic style.
  19. Indeed, had the show gone on, or inspired spin-offs, how wonderful it would have been to get to see what miracles Princess Flurry Heart manifested in the Crystal Empire, as she most certainly did, we just didn't get to see any of that. Some ponies thought that the birth of Princess Flurry Heart signaled that the show was going in a more commercial direction, than a show which from its inception served to sell toys to kids. In point of fact, Princess Flurry Heart is the summation, the manifestation of everything Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and Princess Twilight Sparkle had accomplished. Princess Cadence and Shining Armor were positioned to make good on all of that and they trusted their instincts. Princess Flurry Heart is the best of Equestria, and a pure vessel of Fausticorn's intent...in one Alicorn, in one life. Any real civilization's greatest asset is its offspring, and Princess Flurry Heart is living proof that Equestria fully understood and embraced that.
  20. [This piece is almost as bad as a lot of other whacked crossover art, for whacked crossovers that you'll see by the terabytes on DA. All I can say for myself is that I did try to at least do a decent job of putting this together.] Maud Pie visited Vulcan and fell in love with the place, predictably. There was then no question of any other venue from her wedding to Mudbriar. For his part, Mudbriar found the Vulcan Academy of Science to be a deeply satisfying place to visit, because he got pawned in many fascinating debates. If Mr. Spock is going to be your Best Man, you might as well have Spike and Big Mac as Groomsmen, because they are nerds. But then you also need the probe in the form of Lt. Ilia be the Maid of Honor, so that way V'ger can see to the chain of Sonic Rainbooms! We have to keep the proceedings logical. Clyde and Sue Pie seem a little bit overwhelmed by this interstellar destination wedding. As rock farmers, you can forgive them for thinking they know their trade. However, even if you are an expert in the field, Vulcan likely has something new to teach you about geology. There's no wedding Pinkie Pie cannot get into the spirit of, and the same is true of Marble Pie. Limestone Pie is a little taken aback, but she is minding her manners. These Vulcans are stoical in the extreme, and are entirely immune to intimidation. The Mane 6 and Starlight Glimmer are just there to support the bride and the groom, and Pinkie Pie and her family. What's a wedding without an audience? The royalty of Equestria is indeed in attendance, the occasion is as good a pretext as any for possibly lucrative diplomatic overtures. In the background, the Vulcan Priestess and her attendants look own with inscrutable facial expressions, and arabesque hand gestures. Overhead, V'ger generates an unimaginably long and bright Rainbow, punctuated by regularly spaced Sonic Rainbooms. Yeah, even Rainbow Dash decided to to sit this one out. V'ger is like 20 Trillion times cooler. Its stunts actually give rise to all kinds of physics conundrums, but we just went through a bunch of those with the spinning Carousel Boutique, so I'll stop now.
  21. Old Skool Pooh is the best Pooh, though I did like Disney's latest movie about the Baxson, Baxsoon...however Christopher Robbin spelled it, that was the most historic miscommunication in entire history of the hundred acre woods, and that's saying a lot. Looks like it's brand new and hasn't even been opened yet.
  22. Discord's greatest and most reckless gamble kicks off in this episode. I want to say that I wish he hadn't done it, Equestria had been through so much already but was doing so well. On the other hand, I have to remember that this season ends with Tirek, Queen Chrysalis and Cozy Glow turned to stone. And that, frankly is what needed to happen, imao.
