Writings / My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Welcome back! When we last left our heroes, Nightmare Moon had returned, Princess Celestia had vanished, and Twilight Sparkle, antisocial bookworm extraordinaire, was somehow supposed to save Equestria using friendship, a concept she fundamentally didn’t believe in. No pressure, right? This is the episode where the show had to deliver on the promise of its…

There’s a question that’s been gnawing at me for years, and it’s only become more pointed as I watch the rise of adult Bluey fandom: Why is it perfectly acceptable (even celebrated) to be an adult fan of Bluey, while being a Brony remains something people mock, suspect, or outright condemn? I’m not asking this…

Welcome to the inaugural entry of MLP:R&R (My Little Pony: Recap & Review), where I’m rewatching the entire series, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and documenting the journey. Whether you’re a longtime fan looking to relive the magic or someone curious about what made this show such a cultural phenomenon, I hope you’ll join…

Friendship is Magic was wildly successful. It has a massive following globally. Just look at China, it’s huge over there. It’s a shame we can’t expect more.

I want to try and go over some of the plans I have for this blog moving forward. I will also be explaining a shift in my relationship with web design.

If you’ve read Under Rolling Stars, you probably remember something I called “The Meld.” I didn’t really explain it in-story because that was never the point. The story’s set in the world, not about the world. You get hints and fragments. It’s there, just not front and center. The world-building takes a backseat. But if you’re curious what actually happened, this post…

I know, I know. I made part one for The Lost Element and never made part two. Why am I starting something else without finishing that one? The answer is simple. When that story concludes I will do part two. But as it stands, that story is over three million words, and still hasn’t ended.…

If you’ve read through this blog, there’s probably one thing you will have noticed: “This dude is obsessed with HiE.” Yes, it’s true, I have a fascination with Human in Equestria stories. I mean, check out the Fimfiction Reviews series. Every single one of them is HiE. A fair few interestingly enough feature the Anonymous…

I finally got around to reading Anonymous in Nu-Questria and it’s sequel, and holy shit, that was intense. I’m serious, I haven’t been this wrapped in a fanfic in years. Not since Exchange. I read both stories in under twenty-four hours.

My first G5 review, and seemingly the author’s first G5 story. I’ve read a couple G5 fics, but nothing particularly stuck with me. That was until I read Midnight Comfort.

After seeing it trending for over a week, I decided to put aside my aversions and check out All’s Fair in Love and War. I’ll admit, I am debating whether or not to even publish my review of this.

I first read How Many Friends Have You Made Today?, and How Many Have You Forgiven Today? back in October 2017. Since it’s been four years, I decided it’s time to reread them and check out the third in the series, How Many Lovers Have You Made Today?

Heartwarming. Just heartwarming. This short story has a very simple premise. Twilight Sparkle visits this human every Friday night to watch the show.

Normally I wouldn’t read a story like this given its description, but a friend of mine requested I check it out.

I decided to check out Man Cannot Live On Tea Alone after it was at the top of featured for almost an entire week. Here’s my review of it.

With season 7 of Friendship is Magic coming in April, and an 8th season already confirmed, I’d like to state why I’m worried.
