It's probably unintentional, but still. That's fucked up :-I

If she's in the game, how much longer until they start making actual toys of her?

It'd actually be rad if she and Stellar Eclipse were in the game, with microtransactions for them going to the Make-a-Wish Foundation and/or some charity that each of them get to choose.

But this is at best unfortunate, assuming that someone at Gameloft had been flipping through ponies not yet added and saw her, and didn't know the circumstances of how she came to be. Especially considering her name and cutie mark, she'd be appealing to add now, what with Valentine's Day approaching.

:sweetielarm: Season 8 begins on March 24! Get hype! :sweetielarm:

(note: the FiM part of that press release contains a synopsis for the premiere and a couple upcoming hints for later in the season, in case you don't care to see that sort of thing)

Considering that the premieres for seasons 5-7 were all on the weekend of Easter, as well as the 11-month gulf between the end of S4 and the start of S5, I guess the last proper Chicago premiere meetup was way back in 2013.

I'm guessing Smoulder is pretty cynical, if something that impresses even Ember dosen't move her.

The trailer got me hyped. I feel they can go a long way with a lot of new stories with a friendship school.

I saw this ad on a Chicago bus, so I snapped a picture:

Image

Turns out it's an ad for a play at a local theater. Here's the description:
Pony Up, America!
Equestria is a land of friendship. Equestria is a land of magic. Equestria is Ben’s apartment in rural Pennsylvania. Every Tuesday night, Ben hosts "The Rust Belt Ponies Meet-Up Group for Adult Fans of MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC.” Sharing fun with these friends is a wonderful place to be. After all, nothing bad can happen in Equestria…

But when an ominous neighborhood watch brigade starts patrolling the streets, fear and paranoia creep into the circle of friendship. The outside world is turning more violent and authoritarian, and it is sucking our heroes into an entirely different story.

THE ANTELOPE PARTY is Eric Meyer's amazing and timely new comedy which explores the rise of a new social order and how the currents of history, normalization and fear can sweep up even the most generous bronies.

In the midst of increasing violence and authoritarianism, how can our heroes see the Magic in Everypony? And, even worse, what if they do?

I got a message from Steam saying my Thems' Fightin' Herds beta key has been revoked. I guess the game is being released in about an hour or so. I'm kind of excited. I really only supported the game because of the pony controversy, gosh, how many years ago? Like over like three years ago? I honestly keep forgetting about it. Anyway, here to let you know its about to launch.

Quick question, but what's the episode where one of the flower ponies are selling pots and pans at what looks like a convention table? I looked at Stanger than Fanfiction but I couldn't find her.

Kind of surprised they used Equestria Girls clips without any explanation or reaction.

In the end, they used the Tirek fight for feats after all. Kind of weird, given they outright stated she had the power of four princesses then.

They used Raven's love of ponies from Teen Titans Go, which is nice. You'd think that would mean she wouldn't fight a pony, but eh. As expected, the library burned down and we got a, "Not again!"

Pulling in the Elements of Magic seems like outside help. Not that it seemed to have a real impact on what Twilight was doing.

Raven won, which was expected. Using the Tirek fight for feats makes sense when it was to demonstrate that Raven's attacks go beyond what Twilight is shown resisting in there. When Twilight turned Raven into a plant, I was half expecting another "pony eats her foe" ending.

Enjoyable fight, but I really don't get how this was a close match, as they claimed in the videos leading up to this and in the wrap up for this. Maybe if Twilight had full access to the Elements of Harmony.

And a new video in this series.

Every year starting from 2016, I've released an episode guide for the show, and here's the latest iteration. Shorts section is under construction.

SFDebris did another pony review.

Season 4 opening, and ending, as well as "Three's a Crowd". Basically, Twilight's season arc.

He also put "The Touch" over the Twilight and Tirek fight. :-P

I'm not sure how Season 8 will go emotionally, but if they end up with anything even slightly close to as powerful as that episode, I'd be satisfied.
