Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep? Is overrated (lol jk)

But for my money, I put, at the very least, both Amending Fences and Crusaders of the Lost Mark ahead of it, as far as season 5 episodes go. The former, I’m guessing, is at least partially due to the fact that I’m a much bigger Twilight fan than a Luna fan, so I find Twilight dealing with her past and trying to make amends with Moondancer more compelling than Luna’s self-flagellation for her past. For the latter, it might be partially due to the fact that, again, I love the CMC slightly more than Luna, but I think it’s more due to the fact that it was a musical episode, where all the music (not just the songs) was done by Daniel Ingram, and I absolutely loved all 4 of those. Plus, the whole cutie mark thing was super emotional - adding to that was that the night before, I literally dreamed they would get their cutie marks, then scolded myself when I awoke for getting my hopes up over something that wouldn’t happen.

I think it also has to do with the fact that Luna was so popular (and in a certain sense, still is) that she seemed to suck the oxygen away from anyone else, and I bristled at that sort of thing, especially back then. (Though I still loved her and Celestia’s cameo as fillies in Sunny Side Up)

¡Feliz Domingo gente bonita! Hoy es 19 de Mayo, amaneció fresco aquí en la bonita Villa de Pozos, San Luis Potosí, pero en este momento el calor es infernal. Cualquier fan del calor estaría maravillado con la temperatura aquí… ¿Y a ustedes? ¿Cómo les va? Disfruten el último día del fin de semana, no se amarguen pensando en que mañana es Lunes, jajaja

Damn, sounds like a skill issue to me.

So I take it the moral of the story is Luna must never be criticized or hated, and if you dare speak ill of her or just dislike her then you’ve pretty much signed your will. But it’s always open season for Celestia.

Eh, like I said, it was 9 years ago, so it’s fine now - but still, genuinely, thank you for the well wishes ❤️

Now that looks cool

Well if that’s the case…

Though it may not end well for those celebrating if he actually lived.

If Tony Khan doesn’t get his Shit together with the overall AEW Product, I wouldn’t be honestly Shocked if Dynamite at some point reaches the 500k Territory. :o

Cheerleader Cadance, because, yes!

Well, you start with the fact that Celestia wasn’t in the episode, and work backwards. Luna doesn’t seek Celestia’s help or guidance. Why?

(It’s because up to this point, Celestia has been useless in a crisis and consistently made bad decisions, and because her relationship with Luna hadn’t been properly fleshed out.)

After how Celestia is characterized in Twilight’s Kingdom, including her in this episode would have been completely tone-deaf. Like, what would Celestia even say? “Just get Twilight to fix it and then never think about it again. Works for me!” This is an episode about taking responsibility, and Celestia lives in a world where you don’t have to do that. Her not being in this episode is yet another symptom of how she’s written.

Which brings me to:

And there’s your problem. You have to look at what the events mean to the character. Luna and her sister were supposed to maintain harmony. Instead, Luna lost control. In a fit of anger, she attacked her own sister and destroyed the castle they built together. For 1,000 years, Equestria was down an alicorn, and her sister was forced to rule alone.

The reason that Luna is such a compelling character is that she takes responsibility for her actions. And her emotional journey is about the difference between constructive and non-constructive ways of doing that.

We hold good to higher standards. That’s what makes it “good”. And we expect the “Big Good” to be a voice of reason and know better.

I think Starlight’s backstory is a lesson in how “no reason” is better than “a bad reason”.

I meant, most exterior shots of the Crystal Brighthouse show the prisbeam, so prisbeam would be a sub-tag of Crystal Brighthouse.

However, I agree with renaming prisbeam lantern to hope lantern.

where are we
Should imply mentally advanced series

I mean, there’s reports that there’s celebrations in Iran complete with fireworks over this news. If he was that unpopular then it’s probably more likely to be an inside job, if it wasn’t mechanical failure.

I feel called out. Jersey Mike’s makes amazing sandwiches

Like I said given these episodes were made in 2023 I feel like that made those episodes teasing Skyros,Sunny’s Mom and Allrua and the rest of the Starlight Ridge for Make Your Mark thinking that it would resume in 2024 not knowing that Hasbro had already axed it

After watching the recent Tell Your Tale episode I am started to get this feeling

It’s that since all of these season 2 episodes were already made in 2023 I have this gut feeling that the reason why they have made those episodes like with them teasing Skyros and Sunny’s Mom is that they didn’t know Make Your Mark was gonna end in 2023 and thought they were making these episodes to tease what was going to come in the Make Your Mark series if it was still going for 2024

I’m sure that made that episode teasing Skyros and Sunny and what happen to her mom plus a few other instances because they thought we Make Your Mark was gonna tackle these in its own episodes and leave it for that not knowing that Hasbro had well other plans for Make Your Mark

Tell Your Tale remember teased Misty’s redemption in Make Your Mark chapter 4 and Opaline’s defeat in Chapter 6 so it’s possibly this is the case

@Sonar_Amethyst
Sounds interesting

I love dogs but these fuckers test that affection big time…

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
And he still asks his Growlithe to look after them. Dude just take him with you you’re basically abusing him!

Sometimes I think about Digimon World 1’s final battle in the story and think about how fitting it is that the final boss calls it a battle to determine if digimon are better as friends or slaves. If this was a game like Pokemon, that would ring hollow since there’s no real difference in how pokemon are “raised.” It’s just throwing them into battle and watch the number go up. In DW1, however, your actually raise your partner (singular since you only have one that grows old, dies of old age, and becomes an egg to start the raising process all over). You have to feed it, take it to the bathroom, let it sleep, and train it either with gym gear or battles (there’s no exp in DW1). And you are punished for failure, such as it evolving into the poop digimon by letting poop on the ground too much, it becoming the joke champion Numemon if it fails to meet the requirements for any other champion, it’s lifespan getting shorted by losing battles, and training failures that can lock you out of certain evolutions. It’s a game where outside of speedruns and the like, you have to raise it right if you want to see the end of the game.
