I wrote my first Pony fanfic in over a year.  It's called Swear on Camembert, and it follows right after Season 4 episode 12, which is like the greatest episode possibly ever.  Pinkie Pie with Weird Al Yankovic music?  YES PLEASE. Also triggered off my first ever Mane Six OTP, which was weird; something along the lines of "hmm, I think I'll go out ( Read more... )

So, this is something I was thinking earlier, and because I like to share wild theories, here it is:

EDITED: As of 2/13/2014, the new Equestria Girls movie, Rainbow Rocks, has been confirmed.  You can find a followup to this entry here. That one is spoilery up through S4E13, Simple Ways.

Who knew an episode called BATS!  would be so much fun, at least to me?  I have to admit that while I'm a big animal advocate, I don't love them all equally, and I can't honestly say that bats make me rejoice. The Night The Bat Got In sticks out in my girlhood memories, and I also still remember when a flock of bats buzz-bombed an outdoor ( Read more... )

So here it is: the much anticipated Scootaloo episode--

[Contains spoilers big time.]in which it's determined for good and all whether or not she can fly!   Or not!  But going in, lots of people seemed DETERMINED that it had to be shown that she couldn't fly or their lives were functionally over and they were quitting forever ( Read more... )
