Greetings again, readers! I decided to make a blog post elaborating on some of my future plans for My Little Pony storytelling, some current activity and a few thoughts I've developed in long time I've spent making The End of an Era. I hope I don't keep you here for too much time.
As of today, it has been a whole month since I wrapped up The End of an Era (Series Finale Rewritten). I want to say that while I'm (mostly) content with what I wrote (and modified) for that story, and I've voiced the multitude of complaints I have with The Ending of the End, the episode it's based on, in the Author's Notes, I still feel like after all these years, I need to construct a single place to put all of what I've said together and convey my full feelings of that two-parter in one,
Hey, guys. Mr. J here.
Just so you're aware, I am planning to return to MLP G5: both watching Tell Your Tale and Make Your Mark. Now, I don't remember if I ever told you all about this, but I did inform some of y'all that I've given up hope for G5 because the episodes I watched around that time (two years ago) were so forgettable and boring.
Worst cartoon ever? Some people are saying so. Terrible animation, horrible writing, godawful characters, shitty voice acting, ugly character designs, cringe “comedy”, awful... EVERYTHING!!!!!
To give my thoughts on this quickly...
These ten seconds fucking hurt, folks.
After giving all of the others straws to begin drinking, Alphabittle looks down at his magically-regressed daughter... And hesitates.
Thinking, what? At a potential second chance at the experiences that he had lost? Or realizing that he'd never get a second chance?
So. It turns out there are going to be seventy of these things. And an eight-episode series of full-length 3D episodes. When it rains G5 content, it pours. Time to stick my face back in the firehose.
With Chapter 5 reviewed and Secrets of Starlight still about a month away, I can start addressing the accumulated backlog elsewhere. This week, that means Tell Your Tale shorts. Let’s see what we’re working with.
You may have already heard about this from Equestria Daily or elsewhere in your personal bit of the Webbernets, but the reason behind the abrupt end of Make Your Mark has come to light.
We return once more to Maretime Bay. The shorts have been on a slow but steady upswing as the writers figure out the characters; let’s see if they can maintain that momentum.
It’s kind of funny to have a pony named Neptune when, according to the founding myth of Athens, Poseidon created the first horse in a bid for the city’s naming rights.
I’m in an interesting situation right now. There are six remaining Tell Your Tale shorts. The next IDW issue is out. We’d have a solid month of G5 content if the next installment of Make Your Mark didn’t premiere on a Monday for some unfathomable reason. Still, that’s four out of the next five card blogs involving Maretime Bay and environs. Time to start Sunnytember, I suppose.

Time to ring in the new year… through end-of-year holiday content. Ah, the joys and consequences of a backlog. Let’s get started.
The original art for the convention kills it every year. Honestly, for that quality, and for this fandom, the price these displays fetched at the charity auction isn't surprising…
The biweekly trickle has finally filled the figurative reservoir enough for another Tell Your Tale blog. Let’s see what I can make of the ongoing shenanigans. I get the feeling it won’t be quite as heartfelt as last week.
Well, this is aggravating. After these shorts, Tell Your Tale is airing on a biweekly schedule. As such, I’ve had to rewrite a good chunk of my schedule, and now I have YouTube shorts planned from here ’til December. Might as well get this batch taken care of, given that.
