Friendship is Card Games: Bad Thing No. 3 & Pinkie Pie: Hyper-Helper · 12:29pm Aug 16th, 2020
And we’re back to Pony Life, if increasingly behind. Well, it’s certainly one way to get a backlog. Let’s take a look at what we have to work with.

Remember how I said it felt like the zebra homeland story is missing a chapter? That’s because it is. Turns out the Free Comic Day comic was the real Season 10 premiere. However, that’s just one issue, and this is still a card blog as much of a review. So, on the cusp of one contest’s deadline, we’ll turn to another.
Bit of a schedule change-up this week. I was going to finish up the movie prequels, but it is two days before Christmas, and there are some animated shorts to cover as well. Capper and Tempest can wait for a week; time for some holiday cheer.
Happy Halloween! We’re skipping ahead a bit on Rainbow Dash Presents given the holiday. Somewhere Only We Know is a disquieting story at times, but not really scary. Besides, what’s Nightmare Night without Luna?
This week, we take a dip into metahorror. And the scariest thing of all is that I had to make an unscheduled addition to today’s material!
As the title implies, we're closing out the overview of Minty Root’s work with a pair of music videos and an expanded Anthology short.
15.ai is both a triumph of machine learning and a power too great for mortal men. With just a few minutes of sampled audio, it can produce fairly convincing sentences in that voice. And part of its training data was Friendship is Magic.
Yes, with Rainbow Dash Presents exhausted, we turn to a much more recent fan episode, one voiced synthetically. Let’s see how it turns out.
Turns out the final issue of Friendship in Disguise should come out in a few days, which means a much more coherent blog next week given a brief delay. As such, we continue to see what sense I can make from Pony Life.
We return to another tale twisted by the teller. And this one was pretty twisted to begin with. Time for one of the iconic memes of early pony.
This week, we look at the penultimate batch of Pony Life. I’ll save my appraisal of the series as a whole until I’ve seen the whole thing. For now, let’s see how we approach the end.
It’s the Sunday after Thanksgiving in the States. And Black Friday, for that matter. So, let’s commemorate both with a tale of mistreated, overworked laborers and be grateful that most Equestrias aren’t like it.
This week marks the penultimate Rainbow Dash Presents card blog. Before getting into the grand finale with the mare of Lost Carcosa, let’s look at the various shorts peppering the playlist.
I could look at the next issues of Generations for this week, but I have something fun planned for New Year’s Day that requires me to skip over the comics for a cycle. As such, let’s see why everything is bigger and eight.
Well, the AFR prerelease could have gone better, but I’m going to view it as a learning experience. And I got to turn Orcus into a paperweight and have Drizzt punch a dragon, so I can’t complain too much. In any case, it’s back to Pony Life to see what other madness unfolds now that Twilight’s established a permanent planar portal in Sugarcube Corner’s broom closet.
Happy Father’s Day! Today’s pony media is sadly unrelated. Well, hopefully unrelated. If Lost Carcosa reminds you of your father, that’s a matter for you and your therapist. In any case, let’s close out Rainbow Dash Presents.
I took a look at the Canterlot Tell-All, but that’s just the Humane 7 commenting on the events of the first three movies. Some interesting tidbits like Sunset wanting to travel the world, but definitely not enough to justify a card blog. So we move on while staying in the human world.
This week, Rainbow Dash nearly ruins everything by being impatient, indifferent, and inconsiderate.
Why do I feel nostalgic?
Sorry, my mind's being a little blown right now. To whit:
Whether it’s a flashback to Spike’s first days or a pony-flavored Little Golden Book, this week’s theme seems to be youth. Let’s see how well this resonates with my inner child.
And so we return to Pony Life, and with it both a new overarching plot line and a new character. I have heard a bit about her, but let’s see what I think of the primary source.
