How have I been and what’s gonna happen for the blog this 2018…
I’ve been doing okay for now, I’ve been rather busy with finishing up this year’s studies, main reason why this blog has been in hiatus for months (and partly because of the incident but let’s not dwell on that now).
Now, I want to talk about is two things I wanna actually do this year (once I’ve concluded my studies for the year):
Regular Updates, random answers to random asks, maybe set on specific dates.
Finally work on my comic, Sweet Songs. It’s currently on it’s writing progress, I have an idea for the start but still no middle and end. So stay tune for that.
To keep this blog alive, for now, I will be reblogging some classic updates I’ve done in the past that I assure some of you guys will love (especially those new peeps, hi btw!) and will be opening up the possibility of guest artists (if you’re interested, leave me an ask or a note).
Quite sorry for the (again) unannounced hiatus but thank you guys so much for still being here and staying with me! Hugs and kisses to you all.
My favorite part of FMA brotherhood is that before and after the commercial breaks they say “FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST” except since netflix doesn’t have commercial breaks it’s just “fullmetal alchemist FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST”
I mean, it seems pretty obvious when you put it like that, right?
But how many families, when an introvert sibling or child makes an effort to socialize, snarkily say, “So, you’ve decided to join us”?
Or when someone does something they’ve had trouble doing, say, “Why can’t you do that all the time?” (Happened to me, too often.)
Or any sentence containing the word “finally”.
If someone makes a step, a small step, in a direction you want to encourage, encourage it. Don’t complain about how it’s not enough. Don’t bring up previous stuff. Encourage it.
Because I swear to fucking god there is nothing more soul-killing, more motivation-crushing, than struggling to succeed and finding out that success and failure are both punished.
I demand to know why I can’t hit add a million more likes to this post.
I… I didn’t even realize but yeah.. My parents used those exact phrases constantly.
All it did was make me feel super exhausted, awkward, and or embarrassed whenever I do anything and they respond like that.
I recently pointed out to my therapist that because she had been praising me for little things (walking by myself outside, scheduling, taking steps to write a resume and apply for work, very basic tasks that people normally don’t struggle with), I had started feeling energized whenever leaving her office. It would give me enough confidence and energy to actually feel like I could take on more things.
I’ve been literally living outside for the past three days since I got kicked out for not paying rent on time last time, and now I’m tryna move back in by paying the $200 I was short on but literally only one person purchased an icon and I’m debating dropping prices just to make sure I can get the $150 I’m short on in time.
If any of y'all aren’t interested in a comm but want to help me get off the beach, my PayPal is https://paypal.me/ursidaed/
Someone asked me to prove my homelessness, here’s some pictures of me in a tent on the beach in Venice
Can / will take more. I’m heading to a homeless shelter in a bit for food so if I’m quiet I’m sorry!
I think I left the teller at the bank genuinely disturbed when I told him that “If I can’t afford it, I just don’t buy it.” “What about a car? Do you drive a car?” he inquired, his voice toning on the edge of fear. I told him, “Yeah, I have a vehicle. I bought it used for under $3,000.” He looked physically pained. “What about if you want to buy some kind of new appliance? Or furniture?” he persisted. I stared at him blankly. “My couch was $5.00 at Goodwill. Like…I just buy shit cheap or I don’t buy it at all. The only thing in my life that I make payments on is my house, my bills, and my insurance, and that’s split five ways because I have housemates.” The young man looked horrified? Appalled? And somehow also awed? This guy couldn’t have been much older than me. But it seemed that he’d never even considered the option before of saving up for something to purchase it outright instead of using a credit card. Am I the only person in my general age group (just turned 26) who’s never owned a credit card, and who has forgone basic comforts in order to save up for items so you don’t owe money to anyone, like, ever?
If you’re living in the US without a credit card at 26, you’re playing with danger.
No credit is viewed as the same as bad credit. Which means you could be denied if you ever do need to rent an apartment or a car. Hospitals and clinics are also less likely to allow payment plan programs for people without good credit.
The best thing you could do at this point is apply for a credit card you’re eligible for and pay a few things (I do gas and groceries myself) with it each month. As long as you keep it to zero balance each month there is no interest and there will be proof of you not having debt (instead of just the absence of debt).
what.
This is legit how it works. The system requires records on you, or else. So you need a credit card and worse, you need to have a record of using it, even if you pay it off every single month. Unfortunately, the formulas used to determine credit score are secret, so we also have people suggesting that your credit rating is helped if every so often you do pay a bit of interest. The whole thing is a complete mess. If you don’t have a credit rating/history, then any loans you manage to get will be at extremely high interest and will require much more effort than they really should.
what
yeaah let me just go get a card that i can’t pay off because capitalism is shit, even if i literally only buy a pack of gum that’d go well
If you pay it off in full every month there is no interest. Do what OP is doing but put some of that on your credit card and pay it off every month, and soon you will have a very good credit rating.
you skipped right the fuck over the “can’t pay it off” part huh
like credit cards are just not a viable thing if you’re poor and have shit income
And I’m saying to literally not put anything on it if you can’t buy it in cash. And I’m aware that they fuck over poor people, but yeah, that’s the system that’s in place. This is advice for navigating it, which is how to obtain good credit which helps a lot.
Right like don’t make minimum payments, put your gas on your credit card then that same day pay the credit card company online then don’t worry about it for another month. It’s an absolutely shit system, but in the event of an emergency it’s good to have.
I have had to explain this to a lot of people in my life, but it’s true- no credit is the same as bad credit. What having (and using) the card actually shows is that you are capable of (and actually follow through on) making regular payments: ie, it is proof of having a steady income (even if you do not actually have a steady income). It is showing you reliably can pay for things you purchase, which is what your credit score is all about.
Think of it this way. You have a credit card, which is your credit tracking device. You use the card to tell someone “I will pay for this thing with borrowed money.” They agree to allow you to pay with borrowed money. You then turn around to your credit card company and say “Thank you for allowing me to borrow your money, I will now pay you back with my own money.” (which, if you repay them promptly enough, you can repay them the exact same amount you borrowed, rather than paying them more than you borrowed [which is what interest is])
The credit card company then recognizes that you successfully borrowed their money AND returned it safely, and they pass that information along to credit tracking companies. Each time you do this, you gain credibility. If you do this enough times, you are considered a credible borrower of money, so that if you ever are in a situation where you need to borrow a large sum of money (for example, a mortgage or a car or a hospital bill or whatever), companies with money will look at how well you have returned money in the past, and say Ah yes, this person repays their debts well, so we can lend them our money this time.
So like, do what the above folks are recommending. Get a credit card and use to to reasonably purchase things you already have to buy- put a batch of groceries on the card. Go home (or wherever you can use the interne), pay it off as if you had paid cash in the store for it. There is no extra fee or interest for doing this, and you are leveling up your credibility in case of emergency later on in life.
Ok, here’s a guide for the easiest way to do this.
1. get your first baby credit card with the bank that you already bank with. If it has cashback rewards, even better (that’ll be free money later).
2. set that shit up so it pays the full amount, automatically, every month. you don’t have to remember to go home and pay it off, or worry about it at all. You won’t pay interest.
Your first card, especially if you have no credit, is going to have a small limit. Like $500. This is important: credit companies want you to use a certain percentage of the card every month. This is 1-9%. I usually just go straight 5%. If you use too much, you look like a wild card (even if you pay it off every month) and if you use nothing than you’re not proving to them you can be trusted.
So your first card has a $500 limit. 5% of 500 is $25.
Your goal is to use $25/month.
This is about a tank of gas for me. So once a month, I would fill up with this card, and then put it in the back of my wallet until next month. The payment was made automatically by my bank from one account (debit) to the other (credit). Rinse and repeat. I did this for a year.
Then after a year, my credit had skyrocketed (because I had nothing before, and added this good habit for a year). So I called up my bank and asked for them to increase my limit based on my new credit. I had shown them I was good at borrowing a good amount of money and paying it back on time every time.
The bank increased my limit to $5,500. Like holy shit, at the time I was definitely not expecting that.
So new math. 5% of 5500 is $225. So now instead of gas, I put my cell phone bill ($50), my car insurance ($130), and my dog food automatic order ($40) on it.
The best part is everything is automatic. I keep this card in the back of my wallet permanently; all these bills and the automatic payments are, well, automatic. My credit goes up, I rack up cash back rewards, there’s nothing to it.
And, if I ever get in an emergency, like a vet bill for one of my dogs, I can use that card to pay the $3,000 emergency bill without worrying about whether the place will take my dog if I have no money. I can then go home, change the settings from “pay in full every month” to “pay $X every month” (more than the minimum!) until it’s paid off, and then go back to just my bills. My credit might take a little dip during that time, but will bounce back pretty quickly.
There’s several other factors to credit (hit me up if you want more info) but this was literally the only measure I took for my first year, and my credit went from 525 to 700 in a year. Another year later, I’m now at 753, have a mortgage with a great rate, and can get a monster ass loan if I really need it in case an emergency or hard times fall.
It’s a shitty system of hoops to jump through, but knowing you can use these measures if it comes to it is a good feeling.
also it’s safer to use a credit card to buy certain things like gas, bc the only place I’ve ever had my card info stolen was at a gas station.
The thing with having your credit card info stolen is that you’re not taking the $500 hit, the bank is. you just call them up and be like, “my card got stolen and the last thing I bought was _______ at ______.” and then they’re like, “okay gotcha, deactivating that card and sending you a new one” and…. that’s it. you didn’t lose $500.
1. Humans say ‘ow’, even if they haven’t actually been hurt. It’s just a thing they say when they think they might have been hurt, but aren’t sure yet.
2. Humans collect shiny things and decorate their bodies and nests with them. The shinier the better, although each individual has a unique taste for style and colouring
3. Humans are not an aquatic or even amphibious species, but they flock to bodies of water simply to play in it. They can’t even hold their breath all that long; they just love to splash!
4. When night falls and the sky goes dark, humans become drowsy and begin to cocoon themselves in soft, fluffy bedding.
5. Some humans spend time in each other’s nests! Just for fun! It’s not their nest; they’re just visiting each other.
6. Some humans use pigments and dyes to make their bodies flashy and colourful! They even attach shiny dangly bits to their cartalidgous membranes!
7. Humans are very clever, and sometimes adopt creatures from other species into their family units. They don’t seem to notice the obvious differences, and often raise them alongside their own young!
8. If a human sees another creature in distress, they can commonly be observed trying to help! Even at their own risk, most humans are deeply compassionate creatures!
9. If a human hears a particularity catchy sound or tune, it will often mimic it, even to the point of annoying themselves!
10. Sneezes are entirely involuntary, and completely adorable. Especially when the human in question becomes frustrated
11. Humans love treats!!! Some more than others. Many humans will save these treats specifically for a later date when they are in need of comfort or reassurance. IE, pickles, pop tarts, Popsicles, etc
12. They’re learning to travel in space!!! They can’t get very far, but they’re trying!!! So far, they’ve made it to the end of their yard, and have found rocks

I got a call from someone claiming to be from fraud department of my
bank over the weekend. The call showed up on my caller ID as US Bank
which is how I have it saved in my contacts. He said there was a
fraudulent charge from American Airlines and I was on that their website
booking a flight about an hour prior to the call.
For a moment I thought it was legit but then he asked for a pin #.
Just be careful because the caller ID makes it seem real. The actual
fraud department said they have seen this multiple times with the caller
ID showing as the bank. :/
Reblog to save someone’s bank account
Honestly any time people start asking for personal id stuff and I didn’t call them, I nope out of the call.
Banks and credit card companies do not ask for your PIN. They don’t need it and it is NOT used in their systems to verify your ID on the phone. The most they will ask for is the last four digits of your SSN (in the US). If they ask for the whole number, it’s not them. The PIN is used to ID you in automated systems (ATMs, card readers in stores) NOT by the customer service people. Ever. Nope, not even the fraud departments. NEVER.
It’s been a long time since I last reviewed anything MLP-related. The last MLP episode I reviewed was Saddle Row Review, an episode that aired in Season 6, in which the review was posted the day it came out - May 21, 2016. And even then I was reviewing the episodes out of order, and all in all I only reviewed 3 episodes of S6 - The Crystalling, Gauntlet of Fire and Saddle Row Review. I’m not gonna lie, at the time I was getting pretty sick of doing MLP episode reviews, I actually found it hindering my enjoyment of the show in some aspects and I really stopped having fun doing reviews in general just because I felt like I had a lot of ground to cover after being behind on the series and I just did not really find much of a reason to carry on. I wanted to focus on some of my other planned work (like a webseries that I’m still planning out and more game reviews) and considering I was already considering leaving MLPForums and Scarlet’s Web closed a few months later, I decided to stop with MLP reviews overall.
But this is one exception. If you haven’t heard, My Little Pony ended up getting a movie that came out in theaters in October last year. Although, I actually first heard of it in 2014, the year I joined MLPForums, when it was first announced by the MLP creators. If you’re in the MLP fandom, you know that MLP:FiM has had movies before this one, those being the Equestria Girls movies… but my opinions on them have always been pretty back-and-forth. I wouldn’t call them bad, but just… not for me, the first one felt a bit too cliche for me and had it’s share of problems, and while Rainbow Rocks did improve a lot of my issues, I still wouldn’t consider it up there with the actual show. Friendship Games was alright, and I didn’t end up watching Legend of Everfree, and while I’ve heard it is one of the better ones, I just don’t really have enough interest. Maybe I’ll give it a go, but… whatever. Of course it has been a while and I might watch these movies again sometime maybe to form a better opinion on them, but for now I just can’t find myself having the motivation to. Anyway, back on topic, I was pretty excited after hearing about the MLP movie. This wasn’t just going to be a Direct-to-DVD film that is shown in some select theaters before it’s release starring humans, this was going to be a theatrical release starring the Ponies in their actual form. That said, it was going to be a long way off, and it wasn’t until three years later until we got trailers and merchandise of the movie. They did a good job building up a lot of hype, giving us screenshots of the characters and some of the guest voice actors in the movie. And then the film finally came out in theaters, and while critic reviews were relatively mixed (honestly though most of them were full of shit), reactions were generally positive among actual fans… but unfortunately I never got the chance and as much as I was tempted to look up spoilers and find some crappy quality upload from some guy filming in a theater (which is illegal but who cares), I decided to wait it out, it was worth experiencing the film for the first time by buying it on Blu-Ray so I could support the creators of one of if not my favorite show and a movie that I was most likely going to really love. And after waiting months for it to come out on Blu-Ray, I managed to get the chance to pick it up at Target a couple days ago, and I can say that I’m happy that I waited it out because… I ended up somehow loving this movie even more than I thought I was going to.
Well, with that long, rambly introduction out of the way (man i really need to stop making those so long), let’s go on a quick summary of the plot. After preparing for a Friendship Festival, a bunch of monsters led by Tempest Shadow, a unicorn with her horn machine broken, invade Equestria and petrify three of the princesses and lead to the Mane 6 and Spike fleeing the festival in order to seek help from the queen of the “hippos” (which turn out to be queen of the hippogriffs) leading to them going on an adventure in order to stop Tempest and the rest of the monsters.
So… one thing I noticed about this film really early on, and I’m not too sure how to phrase this, was that it actually felt like more than a My Little Pony movie. I wouldn’t say it didn’t feel like a My Little Pony movie, because for what it is pretty much everything’s there, but probably given the theatrical-ness, it was definitely a lot more ambitious than I expected, and actually felt like a Disney movie to me. I mean, even from the trailers I noticed that the animation was very Disney-ish, but the songs, the motifs, the themes, even the new characters overall felt very Disney-like to me. Maybe I should of seen that coming given that this movie was rated PG which, even in an age when pretty much every kid’s movie is rated PG for some reason, surprised me to see a movie with “My Little Pony” in the title being rated that. But the story did feel like a set up from the rest of the show and actually ended up being darker than I really expected. The Mane 6 go through a lot in this special as they go on their adventure, and by that I mean, they go through a desert where they actually suffer from dehydration and Pinkie Pie goes pretty crazy, and once they get into a town, they nearly get sold off by a con artist (but it’s okay because he ends up turning out to be a top tier husbando) after scaring off townsfolk trying to buy their belongings describing a fake disease where their “parts will fall off” (you know what i need to point this out, there’s a dick joke in a My Little Pony movie). One plus I will give this movie is that it doesn’t feel like a typical “hero’s journey” movie, I actually found that the variation and structure with all the different settings actually went well with what was going on, the scenes transition fairly well. The tone shifts from one scene to the next and everything feels natural and goes with the plot at hand. The Mane 6 provide a lot of great interactions with the new characters which really helps to develop and add to the locations instead of just having them go through a bunch of different places on their adventure and calling it a day. There is a lot of world building in this movie and there is a lot added in to the universe of the show that we never really got to see. I definitely like seeing world building, and I was really satisfied with what I saw. The seaponies, characters from the first generation of MLP, were introduced in this movie which I thought was nice to see even if they did turn out to just be an alternate form of the hippogriffs (i’m not gonna lie i actually thought that was just a silver quill thing before i watched this movie), and the other settings that were introduced did make things interesting for me.
That said, if there was one problem I had with the overall story, it was that it was a bit too fast-paced in some areas. There were definitely some interesting things in the movie that sadly didn’t really get touched upon enough due to them sticking to a 99 minute time limit. It wasn’t too much of a dealbreaker for me overall, but some scenes happened a little bit too fast, I actually noticed that we basically jumped in to the conflict right away and while that is fine to get the movie off to a start right away, it did feel a bit unnatural seeing as it happened pretty much just a minute after the first song of the movie (not counting the intro sequence anyway) and Capper’s redemption ended up being a bit too quick, although to be fair he really wasn’t that much of a villain in the movie so I’ll give it a pass there. But the part with the Seaponies was where it felt a bit too jarring to me. Not much is really discussed about their culture or their backstory other than the fact they used to be the hippogriffs and their potential goes underutilized. Right after the song, it pretty much jumps right to Twilight being caught and the Mane 6 being kicked out. I will say that overall, the pacing didn’t really hinder my enjoyment and for the most part I think it did do what it was aiming to, but at the same time, I do feel they could rounded the runtime up to 2 hours to make the film flow at least a little bit better. And if the Seaponies particularly get introduced into the show in the next season, I do hope they’re developed more.
And with since we’re on the subject of that, I think it is a good time to talk about the new characters. I will admit that as all the new characters were being announced, I was a bit concerned that it would be a similar issue to what I found in Thomas and Friends’ The Great Race, and since most people reading this are most likely not Thomas and Friends fans, that particular special had an issue where they basically introduced and advertised a crap ton of characters that, for what it is, had interesting designs and whatnot but aside for a few ended up just turning out to be background characters and literally just existing for the sake of merchandise that maybe said a line or two. I was kind of worried that they were going to do the same thing here, but on the bright side that did not really turn out to be the case. Tempest Shadow from what I’ve seen is the fan favorite out of the new characters and I can understand why, she makes out to be a great villain who has a well-developed and interesting character, and towards the end turns out to have one of if not the best redemptions in the show’s lifespan. While I didn’t mind Starlight’s redemption in The Cutie Re-mark like a lot of fans did, I think pretty much everyone can agree that Tempest’s was basically her redemption done a lot better. Her song, “Open Up Your Eyes,” actually provides a glimpse into her backstory where she got attacked and then shunned because she couldn’t play with her friends, and there’s actually some time before she is “reformed,” with that time being taken for Twilight to save her and Tempest to save Twilight in return, actually risking her life to do so. Pretty much everything that I wanted to know about her is answered and she’s easily the most complex character of the movie, her backstory is explained pretty well and no question about her goes unanswered. Moving on, though, my -husbando- favorite character of the film actually ended up being Capper. Pretty much right away I enjoyed his personality and he really fitted the role of being a charming con artist, and even though his character arc did go by a little bit too fast, the character development he does get is well done. His “con artist” side you can tell is moreorless attributed to the place he lives in and is really the only way he gets by in life, but his interactions with Rarity helping to change him for the better in the end. And even aside from that he’s perfect husbando material I mean he’s tall, he’s cute, he’s charming, literally top tier husbando.
…
I’m not gay.
I think.
I also did find myself liking the Celaeno and the rest of the pirate gang. Celaeno as the leader is given a lot of depth and the overall backstory the pirate gang is understandable as being downgraded from their job as pirates to being workers of the Storm King. They don’t really come off as villains ever, with the only reason for intending to throw the Mane 6 overboard being that they were pretty much forced to until Rainbow Dash reminds them of their history and once again gives them hope. And then there’s Grubber, who isn’t necessarily developed or deep as a character, but he did add to the movie’s humor to me and I did find myself laughing at some of his lines. Although, I will have to admit that not every character was a hit for me. I just talked about the Seaponies being way under-utilized, but focusing on the two main ones, I will say that Princess Skystar was a fun character with a good personality and I did like her interactions with Pinkie Pie particularly, but on the other hand Queen Novo’s was too pessimistic for my liking and not in a good way. She didn’t really come off as a very convincing leader to me and the whole time she was on screen she just came off as really bitchy to me and didn’t really have many positive things going for her. The Storm King I also didn’t care for, seeing how as a villain he really didn’t come off as anything special to me and in fact was just sort of annoying. Considering how much he was hinted at as being threatening throughout the whole movie, his character does feel very “flat” to me, especially since “Commander” Tempest actually felt like a far more convincing villain and better character overall. He is potentitally a character that could’ve benefitted from better pacing just to see how they could have balanced him out than just being a flat generic villain, but what we got out of him was just that - a flat generic villain. Then there’s Songbird Serenade, and while she’s far from being hateable or anything, she was the character that came closest to my original concerns. She didn’t really do much throughout the movie and aside for her guest voice actor and her song, there really wasn’t much going for her as a character which sucks considering what I just mentioned as going for her.
The Mane 6 themselves and their personalities are also stand there, and their interactions largely with the new characters I think are well-written. Most of the Mane 6 do have a place in this movie and help to advance the plot, although if there was one complaint I had I actually found Fluttershy and Applejack underutilized. Compared to the rest I don’t really remember them doing very much in the movie and just felt shoehorned in, and for what it is, I can kind of understand why they had to be here because… come on, it’s a movie based off the show and you pretty much have to have everyone here, but I would’ve liked to have seen them to a bit more.
So, with the major story aspects out of the way, let’s take a look at the presentation. So, one thing I’m sure most people noticed right away when trailers were coming out for this movie was that it took a different art style than what was in the show. This is understandable considering this was an actual theatrical movie with a higher budget than just the normal episodes or even the Equestria Girls films, but unlike in, say, the Spongebob movie or the Simpsons movie, this wasn’t just an upgrade to the show’s already existing art style. This was completely different, more detailed and more Disney-like which kind of goes with the rest of the movie as it is. And I have to say, while it did sort of weird me out at first, I really found myself liking the movie’s art style. The characters all look really good in their new Disney-ish look, between the Mane 6 and all the new characters, and the animation as it is is very fluid and colorful, plus having some amazing lighting effects and is overall a lot better than the show’s standard Flash animation. There are also a couple parts, particularly Tempest’s flashback and the credits that also take on a different art style with a “flatter” and “chibi” look and they still pull it off really well as it manages to still look good and within the scene fits the “flashback” aspect pretty well. That said, there are also parts of the movie which utilize CGI animation mostly for stuff in the background and that unfortunately does not turn as well as the rest of the movie’s animation and art style. It’s the same issue that Spike at Your Service had where it just looks out of place from the rest of what is going on, but on the other hand for Spike at Your Service the Timberwolves at least were well rendered. The CGI scenes in this movie… not so much, I will say they did make some minor improvements from the trailers where the CGI parts looked straight out of Final Fantasy VII, but the CGI still just looks a bit too underdeveloped and drab compared to everything else. It is a minor thing considering most of the focus is on the 2D animation, but when there’s CGI here and there, it just looks distracting and out of place. The last thing I could talk about is the soundtrack, which I honestly really liked. After watching this movie for the first time, I can easily say that I’ve been listening to the songs pretty much on repeat and found them all really catchy, some of which I would call some of my favorites of the show. My favorites from the movie (not counting any of the credits music) particularly being Open Up Your Eyes, I’m the Friend You Need and Time to Be Awesome, but I found myself liking the rest of the songs well enough too. Considering how much my mom has been playing the soundtrack to the Beauty and the Beast remake around me, I think I’m willing to at least buy the soundtrack for myself.
Well, with everything out of the way, let’s wrap this up.
Conclusion:
Overall, as a long-time brony who’s been watching the show since the beginning of Season 2, I found myself really loving this movie just as well as the rest of the show. I will admit that it had it’s flaws, mostly to due with pacing, but overall I honestly didn’t find any of the flaws to really bring down the overall quality of the movie. I can definitely tell they were being more ambitious with it, and I think they did a good job, everything’s still there but the plot I found myself really interested in, the worldbuilding to be great, most of the characters fun, the art style to be nice to look at and the songs to be catchy. And I’d probably say that as someone who’s watched the show for so long, this is probably, well, my favorite MLP:FiM “episode” (or i guess production i’m not sure what other word to use) in terms of the overall enjoyment I got. After watching it once, I’m glad to say that I am tempted to watch this movie again in the future and if you are a brony and really enjoy the show… or heck, even an ex-brony that’s familiar with at least the first 2 seasons or so, I can easily recommend it.

yeah…
y’know what scratch everything I said, this is worse than the emoji movee rite guise?!1
