Pony is back!
I need redemption for the latter half of the season after Episode 20, and this is the only one left I'm even moderately hyped for. Please be good!

SCHOOL DAZE
LIFE POINTS: 8000
A school for friendship huh? Much as that would be a good idea, I don't like the way the ponies preach about friendship and act like it can save you from all troubles. The show itself already warps people into being too overconfident and put too much faith in friendship as it is without thought of potential darkness or despair or unpleasantness.

Greetings, one and all! Welcome to Mystic Mind analysis; my irregular critiques of MLP episodes.
I am the Mage of Mind, reminding you as always that even a Cheeseburger can be deconstructed to its original source.
Warning: Spoilers from the latest episode, The Parent Map, abound. Proceed with caution.
I could use something to rant on, I had another THINGS CHANGE attack last night, and I am PISSED, (But I still can't make Darkness of Dimensions yet)
THE MAUD COUPLE

Uh... Muad is definetely not a comedian (But everyone could tell that... except for Pinkie) Pinkie should know not to sugarcoat things so much.

It's good to be back! Another year, another MLP season. Following on from the (mostly average) movie and all the world building of previous seasons, Twilight and Co. progress into being teachers of friendship, and all the trappings that come with it.
I wasn't there when The Scent of Prey featured back in 2014. I'd fallen asleep and woken up to an ocean of "you lucky bastard!" comments which were sadly deleted after an extensive edit back in early 2015 (the 2.0 edit with Firesight mentioned in the long description) saw the deletion of chapter six, Among The Stars. As people who've followed me for a while may know I have a complicated relationship with TSoP. I've come to accept that it featured despite its many, many flaws as a story and
So my mother was sorting through the few aritfacts she has left from my childhood (she's a pathological anti-hoarder) and she found a story I wrote for a competition when I was 8. Apart from a few minor spelling and grammar mistakes it's pretty much perfect. I decided to share it with everyone because 8 year old me deserves recognition.

Dear Mrs Gillam,
This is going to be short n sweet. Here is my ahead of time score. I give this premier a 4.5 out of 10.
I'm no good at keeping long rambles coherent so I'll get right to the point of why I think this premier was as bad as it was.
FRIENDSHIP CANNOT BE LEARNED ACADEMICALLY
Like seriously writers...really? Did not a single one of you watch the show before you got hired on?
Hello everyone. So there have been a few questions about how my timeline matches up with that of the tv show. Also I think this is important to clarify for my own benefit just as much as yours. Also, even though this will go into the timeline for things there will be no spoilers include in this blog so this is safe for everyone to read.

Near the end of May, to be precise.
With that said, I'm curious, those of you who are fellow students: What's your summer plan?
When I first saw the pilot to MLP, it kicked open doors inside my brain and broke down walls inside my heart. There was something uniquely magical about the sun and moon mythos in particular. It functioned on fairy tale logic - a type of storytelling that is specifically designed to tickle your subconscious and hit you somewhere primordial.
Hello there.
Yesterday, I went to PDQ Records off Grant Road in my area once again and picked up another few vinyls. Even though I've increasingly gone back go buying VHS tapes (and in fact had a couple on my mind at the time) I never really gave up on collecting vinyl records.
And so I bought 2 LPs and 3 45s, two of which are EPs and one of which is a hit single from the past. Click the little green button to get started!
Flutterbitch returns for vengeance.
I'm not 100% sure what I'm going to do over the summer, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to spend a lot of it working on Japanese (and Chinese, if a PM I sent someone works out), and playing my new 8-string guitar that I earned myself recently. It's going to suck not seeing my friends for two months, but most of them are starting off 9th grade in the same high school as me, and I have three of my tighter friends on Steam, so it's not all bad.
What about you guys?
A few weeks ago, a friend of mine took a meme quiz. I don’t remember what exactly the theme was, but her results where that she was an “outsider” personality - a black sheep. This prompted an interesting discussion (which I will make relevant to MLP shortly).
Fluttershy running one of Rarity's shops?! What could possibly go wrong?!
