If Fluttershy Hadn't Found Stone!Twilight...
Twilight would’ve possibly been frozen in stone there, with no one the wiser, for days. After everypony realized she was gone, searched the village and asked around, Fluttershy would’ve realized that she’d heard Twilight mention the Everfree forest. So they’d find her there, but by then, the Cockatrice would possibly has left the area. Then they have to find every...

Pony Education
How long do ponies go to school? Is school mandatory? These questions came to mind after my last post, and I think about it every time I see scenes from The Cutie Mark Chronicles because of the fact that filly Cheerilee is clearly seen performing in Rarity’s class play, meaning that Cheerilee is the same age as the mane six.
Ponies seem to customarily get their cutie marks some time during...

Roughly Estimating Mane 6 Ages
I’ve been thinking about how old each of the mane six are relative to one-another. As far as I know, the only time age is definitively mentioned in the show is when Fluttershy says that she’s a year older than Pinkie Pie. If we take her to literally mean a full year, then I think it sets a decent spectrum for their ages.
I feel that way because in The Cutie Mark Chronicles, Fluttershy...

Analyzing "Friendship is Magic, Part 2 (Elements...
I haven’t much to say about this episode; it’s pretty straightforward. Probably the most plot-driven episode of the show, with the least extra stuff going on. I imagine that in this early stage of the show, drawing all those backgrounds and effects was enough to eat through the budget and time allotted to an ep.
Episode 2: Friendship is Magic, Part 2 (Elements of Harmony)

Check Out My First MLP Fanfic!
I’ve started writing my first MLP:FiM fanfic over at FiMFiction! It’s called Pinkie Pie’s Toothache (of Destiny) and you can read the first chapter here.
Description: When Rarity notices the sorry state of Pinkie Pie’s teeth, she drags the pink pony kicking and screaming to see a dentist. During the check-up, a shocking discovery is made: Pinkie has developed an...

Analyzing "Friendship is Magic, Part 1 (Mare in...
While writing my favorites-based ranking of MLP:FiM episodes, I found myself promising to analyze a bunch of them. Now, I’ve decided to pull all the stops and analyze them all. I’m skeptical about my ability to do this, since I’ve tried to do the same with a large number of anime shows over the past four years and never succeeded in finishing a show, but I think that my love of...

Pre-Re-Mare-a-Thon Episode Ranking
I consider myself a master of making favorites lists (if such a thing is to exist), so the idea of making a ranked list of my favorite MLP episodes seems natural to me. Also of interest is the disparity between how many times I’ve watched certain episodes versus others. I keep forgetting that there are nearly fifty episodes of this show, and that while it feels like I’ve watched them...

Some of My Favorite MLP Dialog
When I watched season one of MLP:FiM, I found the episodes Feeling Pinkie Keen (15) and Over A Barrel (21) both awkward in the way that they presented their apparent moral messages. I was interested to learn that I wasn’t the only one who noticed the awkwardness—that both episodes were written by the same person, Dave Polsky—and that they were the only episodes which he wrote.
However, more...

Magic, Friendship, Etc.
Woke up and jumped out of bed this morning, worried that I might’ve overslept. It was only 9:30 AM. I brushed my teeth, showered, ate a full breakfast (none of which is my average Saturday), and then got all my morning stuff done (i.e. check google reader and catch up on Equestria Daily). Watched a little bit of online mare-a-thon livestreams and other videos, listened to some pony music,...

Nimaru's "Luna's Studies"
Reading Nimaru’s “Luna’s Studies” series (here) has been very exciting. It features in-depth character analysis of the Mane Six, which is something I’ve hoped to find ever since I started with this fandom, and had thought I’d end up having to do myself (not that I won’t still do some of that here). Nimaru’s studies are brilliant, never compromising...
