Ah, more decisions.
So somehow I stumbled across this little article, which is a nice read: http://www.fm100.com/public/queue/view/5828 And the bit about Paul still having conversations with John is so squeeable! Love it.
Now I have more decisions to make. I have enough spare money for a nice little shopping spree. But since I like to stretch it as much as I can, I wonder whether to spend a certain part of it on one DVD set that has two episodes I want, or whether to spend it on several smaller, Pony-related items.
The DVD set is a nice show, but probably one I wouldn't be interested in if not for those two episodes. But those two episodes have Simon, and if he's the main guest-star and has a lot of screentime, it would be SO WORTH IT. But the set is newly out and I'll have plenty of chances to get it. But Wal-Mart has the best price and they might not have it long. They've been rotating their DVDs more than usual lately (or so it seems to me).
Then I badly want some of the new Pony stuff: the Celestia and Cadance plushies I mentioned, and some of the new figure sets, and also I'm getting awfully intrigued by Sunset Shimmer and want to get that figure. And there's an adorable Christmas ornament of Twilight in a stocking that I really want. Hobby Lobby has their Christmas stuff 50% off, so if they have that one, she surely wouldn't cost too much (unless their ornaments are outrageously expensive, which I doubt).
I still haven't seen the Equestria Girls movie, but I plan to do that soon. I dunno, for some reason, while humans turning into animals is absolutely abhorrent to me, I am kind of fascinated when the reverse happens. Of course, that's the premise behind Princess Tutu, and then there's two Ponies in Equestria Girls who become human (Twilight and Sunset). I'm particularly interested in Sunset's experiences. She seems more spoiled/prideful than outright evil to me, so when Twilight defeats her, maybe I'd find it makes some kind of sense that she has a change of heart. JP told me about a comic story with her and how she wants to be the best. Maybe when she's defeated by someone who is closer to "the best", it gets through to her better side and humility and that's why she seems to want to stop being mean. I think there's a lot of potential for character development there. I really hope to see some post-movie adventures with her and the human counterparts to Twilight's friends becoming friends, since Twilight asked them to be Sunset's friends.
I think the fact that Sunset has these dual lives is really interesting, too. Apparently she's going to stay in the human world, but she isn't originally a human. Judging from both the movie and the comic story, she adjusts pretty well to being human, but I wonder if she ever has issues.
Of course, then there are times when I don't like the "animal to human" trope, either. I was trying to do that in one of my YGO mysteries and have Oreo the cat be temporarily human, but I ended up not liking that and had the human just be a manifestation of Oreo's heart, so she had a voice.
