[SPOILERS for those who haven't watched the finale of season 7]

I love that all of the legend ponies are back, and will be finding their place in Equestria after being gone for over a thousand years

However, even though I'm glad that he learned his lesson at the end of the episode, I was not exactly pleased (at first) with the way Starswirl was towards Twilight during the 2nd part of the finale

Some of you might be tempted to answer this question, “There’s tons of sorcerers in MLP! Look at Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer, for instance. They are (were) evil and they use powerful magic.”

No screencaps because 1:07 AM. Also holy crap, season finale.

I loved it. Not so much because Starlight Glimmer (anything about her, really), but everything else. Really, I like to look at this special as a nod to fanfiction, because I swear the writers were looking at us for this one, maybe even more than #100.

FoE's self-levitation? Confirmed.

I don't read the comics. I've heard there are some good ones, so I've been meaning to fix that, but at the moment, I have only read a couple: the first two issues of the Chrysalis Arc, (I wasn't a fan) the Fall Of Sunset Shimmer comic, (Which I quite liked) and the Sirens' Fiendship Is Magic issue. (Which was pretty awful)

I kid you not, this is the best description I've heard.

So! as the show has progressed and I have procrastinated, there's a lot of stuff that frankly is outright contradicted by canon. Thankfully, the RiMverse is an AU so canon is not a huge issue, however it does mean I will have to make some formal announcements just in case.

I remembered there was something named "the children of Nightmare" mentioned in the time war, and I got an idea for a story about nightmare moon being a survivor of the great time war.

This is story concept based on that idea.

The Nightmare was that entity. It ran away from the center of the time war and landed on Equestria.

Nightmare, just like most doctor who’s villains, was an entity incapable of feeling some emotion that humans and ponies could, such as empathy, love, etc.

The other night, I literally just wrote an entire nine-page fix of the Sirens going with Sunset and confronting Starswirl about his decisions. It's located here if anyone wants to see it. Based off a single line from Reborn: "It was Starswirl who exiled us, after all." That single line made me write this amalgamation of stuff. I'm keeping it in Google Doc form because people tend

So, out of the stories I was going to revise, 'Through the Snow' wasn't one of them. I ended up revising its first chapter and fixing a couple things in it, as wells as adding the 'lost chapter' from 'Missing Pages & Scrapped Footnotes'. I really liked revisiting the story and getting to add some new stuff, especially about historical Equestria/Tribal ponies. I had a lot of fun when first writing this, and when I went over this again.

As of S7, we've had a lot of historical things revealed to us.

But I'm a little confused as to when exactly all these things happened in relation to each other.

Here's my take:

1. The Founding of Equestria by Smart Cookie, Clover the Clever, Private Pansy, Commander Hurricane, Princess Platinum and Chancellor Puddinghead.
2. The Appointment of the Two Sisters as the rulers of Equestria.

The portals looked the same in season 7 episode 26. I'm betting season 8 we will see the shadow enter Equestria Girls world and we will see what happened to the Sirens and the shadow will return their powers and they will go back through portal and confront Starswirl.

"Horse Play" aired and with it, the Student Six returned onto the screen! And even though they were confined to the background, this episode got me very excited because of something else:

Thanks to Pinkie Pie, we got informed how long ago it was exactly since Celestia raised the sun for the first time!

So, after my initial review of "Horse Play" and steaming my brain with the thoughts Celestia's Onesversary brought up in me, here are my afterthoughts on it..... Which I had to split into three parts, this episode is an unexpected goldmine of interesting things to dig through!
Here is Part 1 of them:

If you still remember the blog I made nearly a month ago that I took down all of my future story ideas, you can tell that I'm still empty and depressed right now. Not because of writer's block but the fact I have to learn the truth about how the story can catch people's interest. And not only that, the 78 stories (Including the deleted ones) have me use the same characters from time to time. You may not see that as an issue but it is when I figure it out.

Sorry for coming out with this so late. This month is already starting off very harsh on me. I have been nonstop busy since day one with all kinds of work. Unfortunately, only some of this work effects this site. For now, I have the next chapter of Journey To Hearth's Warming almost finished. And am working on a new big story for this site. I can't tell you too much on the new story only that it won't be out for a good while but I already have many chapters roughly done on it, I just want to

The season comes to a close with the Pony of Shadows, the Pillars of Equestria, and some VERY surprising cameos!

A couple of ideas for crossover stories I had. Thought I would share in case anyone is interested in trying to write them.

I dare you!

Star and Sweetie: A Rick and Morty crossover with Starswirl the Bearded and Sweetie Belle. A bitter alcoholic Starswirl the Bearded drags Sweetie Belle along on a series of dangerous but funny misadventures, often leaving the filly a little smarter, but a lot more traumatized.
