So I Loved the Movie · 4:56pm Oct 19th, 2017
And by "the movie" I clearly mean Tempest. Tempest is the best edge-horse and I love her with my whole heart.
That acting animation though...
But seriously, I went to the theater and watched the MLP movie the day it came out, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The experience was only slightly soured by the side-effects of the vaccinations I had gotten a few hours previously, but you know. Honestly I think the ponies helped to numb the muscle pains.
I really did like the movie... but I also had some Bad Feelings about it mixed in there. Not anything bad enough to make me dislike the package as a whole, but some things did leave a sour taste in my mouth. However, this isn't the place for that. Maybe I'll actually write a review once I see the movie a second time (and then probably a third... and a fourth...), but for now I won't talk about it much, especially since I would be prancing into spoiler territory if I went that route.
What I will talk about is that watching that movie revived my love for ponyhorse. Tbh, haven't been watching the show consistently since season 3 or 4, and my affections have slowly been dwindling. There's a reason I haven't uploaded a new story for a while, after all, and and it's not just because I'm lazy. That's the main reason, yes. But not the only one.
However. The second I stepped out of the theater my head was buzzing. Swimming with ideas. Ideas about cartoon horses. Specifically lesbian cartoon horses.
I imagine you all know where I'm going with this.
I won't promise anything because who knows when/if I'll ever write it, but I do have a story idea brewing which I'm kind of in love with right now. I've written a few scene ideas down, and soon I'm going to try to write a rough outline. Again, no promises (even if I do write something it might just end up being sleep-deprived trash I upload at 3 am. You know, like it normally is), but I really want to write pony words again. I forgot how much peace it gave me. And considering I've just started college and I'm currently in the middle of a spiral of sadness and exhaustion, I could do with some fake horse kisses.
Also one last note: I love Tempest's song. I've had it stuck in my head for the past 3 days.

Yeah I could definitely see how the movie could come off as disappointing. As I said there were some things that personally irked me (the characterization of Pinkie Pie, for example) but I could look beyond those things easily. Other people might be bothered by those problems more though and that's valid too.
And yeah I really like Fizzlepop. I want a plushie of her.
