Triple Threat - what could have been · 7:02pm Aug 20th, 2017
My basic opinion of 'Triple Threat' is that it was a pretty good Ember episode shoved inside of a crummy Spike episode.

Hi, folks. I don't exactly blog a lot on here, but there's a pony artist who hit a rough spot and needs help!
I spent the entire episode unable to stop seeing the angry frogs that make up Cranky and Matilda's muzzles. Seriously, just look at the lighter-colored bit at the nose and it's an angry frog.

Always a nice thing to see, getting a story up on the front page. Thanks, everyone!
I've got a new story ready to go, just getting some pre-reads on it now. Hope everybody likes alternate history!
In the Season 5 animatic, who else noticed that in the 'creepy smiling ponies with banner' picture, there's one pony who's not smiling and is the centerpiece of it all, and in the 'creepy smiling ponies in the cave' picture, that same pony is there and appears to be holding up some kind of tuning fork-like magical staff, in a green magic glow? Has this character been dubbed with a fanon name yet?
If not, I'm going to propose "Dee Same."
A whole bunch of stone-jawed pure white unicorns and pegasi tramping through town in conspicuous Hawaiian shirts, trying to blend in.
"GREETINGS, CIVILIAN CITIZEN! I TOO AM A CIVILIAN CITIZEN! CAN YOU DIRECT ME TO THE NEAREST CRIMINAL ACTIVITY?"
Celestia facehoofs. "Captain. When I said that this is to be a Plain Clothes division, what in the name 'plain clothes' made you think of near-neon flower patterns on seasonally-unsuitable thin linen?"
[Judge Dash] Two years ago, I was a superhero. One of the biggest heroes in Equestria. Me and my five friends. Then... Power Day came. We fought to save Equestria. We fought... and fell. We brought the crime under control, we instituted the New Law, but one by one my friends died along the way. Only my sheer concentrated awesome was enough to keep me alive. Now I patrol the mega-city of Caneterhatvillen bringing criminal scum to justice. Rainbow style.
I've had this one bouncing around in my head for a while, and it's finished! Finished! Done! Mwahahahahaahackcoughcough. Ahem. Anyhow, the last chapter is finished and waiting for me to hit the 'Publish' button - which I intend to do tomorrow.
In the meantime, a naming guide! At least, as used when they're all in the same world. On their own, they use their full names, most of the time.
