I don't like unreformed Trixie. Much like Dimond Tiara, she's just mean in a very venal way. I understand that her character develops more later on but she's just kind of annoying. I think that considering the troubke she caused this time she got off pretty easy. I marvel that Princess Celestia didn't take any action to see to it that she's not going around Equestria being an agressive bully. -
Pinkie Pie as the Borg. Exponential replication. Factorial replication. Thank goodness the real Pinkamena Diane Pie was able to watch that paint dry. Though I marvel that she was able to do it any better than all of her duplicates. Were they somehow missing something? -
S04:E01+02 - Princess Twilight Sparkle
Night Sky replied to Yellow Diamond's topic in Season 4 Discussion
This episode lind of gets it wrong. Princess or not, I can't quite see the other Mane 6 ever telling Twi to go home. And I can't really see her doing it. The artwork, the Harmony tree sure was beautiful though. -
This episode really reminded me of scary or haunted house episodes from all kinds of different cartoons from back in the 1990s. It isn't a rip off of any of them but it sure captures the essence of the old magic. In the old way, in the old style. The twist doesn't even ruin it because even though I love here Pinkie Pie can be downright scary. -
My New Year's Resolution: Loose Weight Save Money More Pony

Wow! What a Haul, and by Luna am I done till next paycheck. I found a goldmine of a local comics shop. He must have every single issue of MLP comics, but I only buy in anthologies, and he has plenty of those too, and can get more. I stopped myself at two. This guy was exactly the Boof I've been hoping to connect with.
After that I headed over to an antique mall he recommended. Sweetie Drops is a no stranger, she is known, my first Gen 4 pony...alongside RD. For a Pony who told himself he wasn't ever gonna do plush toys. One glance, just one glance from RD fixed that right up. A gentle bath with a damp and a dry cloth has her 20% cooler and back to near mint.
I really was thinking I would get another Gen 1 pony to take over from the one I lost, she could never be replaced, but she wouldn't want me to be alone and from somewhere, she still doesn't. Dancing Butterflies is a "Twice As Fancy" mare Pegasus, and she is covered in Butterfly symbols. Quite the cutie markings you got there girl, whoa. It does surprise me that Dancing Butterflies doesn't seem to come up in the discussion about which ponies inspired Fluttershy. Several do, but not to my knowledge Dancing Butterflies. It was relevant to me to get at least one Gen 1 pony again.
I don't care about the packaging. I'll get nuts about that when I start going for Gen 4 Funko products, which is really the next phase of my collecting. Really, it's gonna be mainly Gen 4 Funko. At least until I finally get to browse the vendor section of a Con. Sure to be plenty of custom stuff there. My wallet is already groaning!

Heading out to the rest of my local comics shops to see if I can support local businesses and get my Pony goodness. Wish me luck!

Welcome! Nice to see so many new fellow Fluttershy fans arriving! My history with MLP is also long but on and off until 2017 when I really returned in earnest. This community is a source of light we all need. I'm glad I came here to take the first steps to not be so self contained. I wish you wellness and that you find what you're looking for here.

This was a trippy, adventurous episode. It skillfully balances a camping trip into the woods with Scootaloo's inner world and life. I thought that the link between Princess Luna and dreams was very interesting, although I would feel that way, but it was an interesting vector for a Princess to appear from, within the dreamworld. Scootaloo becoming RD's protege was a given inevitability, so I am glad they kicked it off with an exciting episode. -
Spike's Dragon Code seemingly arrives out of nowhere. I mean, with the great dragon migration, we had seen him become curious about his dragon heritage, but otherwise Spike always seems at ease living among Ponies, so this business card that's a token of morality, which he literally coughs up...deus ex machina, much? Spike is usually cleaning up other Ponies' messes, not making many of his own, so this episode kind of casts him against type in a way that is not refreshing or amusing. RD's misguided attempt to discourage Spike with the construction of a tower of rocks was kind of funny. The timber wolves would have been interesting if we had learned anything about them. Eh.

I like that this episode shows Rainbow Dash being more verbal about taking care of one's teammates and not putting other people at risk. On the other hand, the faculty of the Wonderbolts academy did not have their house in order. Seemed like they were oblivious to Lightning Dust walking all over her fellow cadets or were maybe even turning a blind eye. After working for a shot at this for so long RD had to literally resign before they did anything about it. So I like how selfless and consistent with her good morals RD was, but it was nerve wracking that she almost had to give up an a dream that meant so much to her to do the right thing.

I sure did, Slackers at Mid Rivers Mall here in Missouri! I went and looked at three other stores today, two of them theoretically more cozy comics shop and didn't find anything. This was quite the haul. I'm clearly gonna have to get most of the MLP comics I ever read for vendors on the net, but there's no romance in that. Part of me always has to try and see what I can find in-store. -
Honestly, this episode actually kind of weirded me out and really threw me off. The premise is well known; someone not prepared for the task has to learn how to babysit, gotcha. There was something about Pinkie Pie's Piggy Dance that made me feel terribly uneasy. I cannot describe it rationally. There was something just really OFF about it. Even by Pinkie Pie standards.

A strong series opener. It was an interesting decision that Twilight Sparkle was not so interested in friendship. It was not exactly that she was shy, she was more aloof, though only because she took her studies very seriously. But framing the series pitch with a rebalancing of reconciliation between Princess Celestia and Princess Luna was a masterstroke. It was a strong hint of future world building to come and served as a suitably epic problem for the first episode to solve.

I've been keen to get into the comics for both Gen 4 and Gen 5, but part of me always revolts against breaking down and ordering off the net, even if that's what I end up doing perforce. But I was able to score all three of these and I've already started reading Big Horseshoes To Fill vol.1 I must say, I am impressed by IDW. I understand that the comics, or at least the degree to which they are canon is sometimes a matter of disagreement, but I'm liking the idea of the Mane 5 visiting the ruins of Canterlot. I do dig the fact that Gen 5 seems to make a point, more than once, of relating to and being respectful of Gen 4. I really did enjoy The New Generation movie. I need to start on MYM, but I have been busy rewatching FIM. I have seen a few episodes of TYT and I think I may be watching the series in the wrong order. But, the comic is well illustrated and seems to get the characters down. I dig!

I got decent seats for a Bill Shatner appearance at a con in the 1990's. He's a great storyteller in person, very dynamic and high energy, but not over the top. I am curious, is it known exactly how he came to know of MLP FIM? It doesn't surprise me that he'd like it and it certainly does not surprise me that Rainbow Dash is his best pony, but I do wonder how it initially happened - and how that lead to an appearance - but I am most curious about who might have showed it to him and why or if it happened by accident or fate?
-
I've recently been reassessing some of own mistakes and been reconsidering what energy I'd really been bringing into situations. Taking FIM back up in earnest, and signing up here are both parts of a long needed 180 I am doing. I too want to spread and attract positivity, so here: good vibes.

Interesting. I haven't made it to Equestria Girls, but, clearly...Fluttershy IS one of the Mane 6 and shouldn't be left out like that. Sounds like a similar situation to Pavel Chekov being nixed as a character from the animated series of Star Trek, it just doesn't work.

This will always be one of my all time favorite FIM episodes. While I love the episodic and slice of life format a great deal, I also love world building and a larger mythos to explore, and this was the episode where we set off on that journey, imho. The scene where Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were reflecting on what was at stake could have been an entire episode unto itself. Crystals, and far off mysterious cities have a long and venerable history of expanding the horizons of shows like MLP FIM. An old episode of the Care Bears I remember from my toddler years comes to mind, "Drab City" S1E9b. Unusually dark episode. I also like that the episode left a lot open and unanswered. I was puzzled by Princess Celestia's statement that even her knowledge of the empire was not exhaustive. The episode does not clarify where it came from, how King Sombra took over. What it does do however, is it puts a new beautiful destination onto the map and leaves it there. Perfect. -
Pinkie Pie's party was kinda David Lynch. I've been there, but I didn't happen to be talking to a bucket of turnips, lol. Mighta been more lively if I had.
