Scootaloo!

I haven't watched any g5 content yet. However, during a rant about the MLP franchise doing call-backs to gen 1-3 ponies, I found this!! Posey from g5!!! Same cutie mark and everything!

I had no idea they did this. It's probably common knowledge among g5 fans, but it's super cool to me. I'm excited to see if they have more instances of this after I finish my g4 rewatch.

G5 leaves a sour taste in my mouth without even trying (let me be gate-keepy about my ponies in peace) but I'm willing to give it a shot and I will attempt shelve my nostalgia for FiM I'm order to give an honest review. Stay tuned folks 🫡

When Sci-Twi sang "If I can stay with the light, I know I'll be free. I can start to be whole, I can start to be me.

But instead, I am struggling with all that I've seen. And these friends mustn't see the Midnight in me"

ITS AN ALLEGORY FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND NOT REACHING OUT FOR HELP BECAUSE YOU'RE SCARED OF BEING A BURDEN

I don't know why it took me so long to get that. This is from the Equestria Girls movie Legend of Everfree.

Happy Nightmare Night to all!!🦇💕

She’s a stoner, I don’t make the rules.

I just finished season 8 of FiM.

Chancellor Neigh Say shouldn't have been redeemed.

I didn’t mean to start a debate, but since we’re at it . . . .

Starlight was a broken and lonely pony. She didn’t want to be alone, and she hurt people in an obscene way to achieve that. Obviously, the things that she did was terrifying and I also think her redemption was rushed (discords redemption arc is the only one I truly adore in FiM) but after her initial redemption she struggles to fit in and cope with how terrible she was to ponies. We see how her horrible actions hurt her later in life as well. Chancellor Neigh Say literally flipped like a switch (I have only finished season 8, so if his redemption is more fleshed out in season 9 I may backtrack this opinion, but don’t give me any spoilers). He went from extremely racist and hell bent on destroying Twilight and everything she has built, and one incident toppled him on his head and turned him into a good guy without any repercussions for the things he did and said and how he treated literal CHILDREN. Do y’all realize that? He chained up innocent CHILDREN. He doesn’t deserve a redemption arc because his only justification for his horrible treatment of non-pony creatures was simply that. Because they were non-ponies.

If a character has such violently hateful opinions of other species and his entire personality was written around him being a pony supremicist, then no, I don’t think he deserves a redemption arc. No one changes that easily, especially on that kind of opinion. If it was taken more slowly and dug a little deeper into his rooted dislike for other creatures, I could give him a chance. But not with the knowledge I currently have of him. But again, I’ve only seen up until season 8, so any actions he may take in season 9 could very well change this opinion.

Tree hugger and Fluttershy smoke together and no one can change my mind. Tree Hugger is a pothead and Fluttershy smokes occasionally.

I just finished watching the Rarity’s Peak Behind The Boutique shorts, and I’ve gotta say, I genuinely enjoyed them. The shorts that are put out between seasons and movies are so fun to me! We get to see some extra filler content without it taking up entire 20 minute episodes. These shorts in particular I really enjoyed all of the throw backs to outfits that Rarity has designed in earlier seasons. I never really realized how many of her designs genuinely impact the plot!

I also can’t help but think about how these shorts take place after she has opened her boutiques in Canterlot and Manehatten. I can imagine Rarity’s reaction to being featured in her own news segment or appearing on TV for up-and-coming designers. It’s more detail about how successful Rarity has become, compared to how it seemed like a far-off dream in the beginning of the series. These shorts fuel me, I won’t lie.

In case you want to watch them yourself, the names of each short for Rarity’s Peek Behind The Boutique are “Fashion Do’s and Don’ts,”, “Fashion vs. Function”, and “Customer Critiques”.
