The Court of Smoke and Claws...

Am I the only one that thinks that could be a Punisher title?

New year, new novel! What’s your next book going to be?

if you get a redundant one (looking at you flames and fire) you gotta choose one of the following to substitute in: disaster, agony, thunder, meteors, the forge, or thorns. Sorry, not sorry.

Yep, the deaths of Littlefoot's mom, Optimus Prime (in '86), and Mufasa still get me to this day.

Reblog if you have mourned the death of a fictional character.

If you do not reblog this, you are in fact lying.

I swear, Lily has reached Zira level stubbornness. Seriously girl, get some help!

lily just compared the latest episode with big mac and sugar belle to what was goin on with josh and the others, then saying she was being "hyperbolic" if you want to make a joke fine, but that stuff was just starting to die down

I haven’t seen the new episodes yet. All I can say is she just lost one of her closest friends again, had a mini heart attack, and got suspended from Twitter and she’s STILL choosing to run her mouth and keep this going.Starting to wonder if she’s trying to give herself an actual heart attack. She’s so goddamn stubborn she won’t even get help when her life literally depends on it.

Good to hear Patchwork. I'm glad that everything worked out in the end, and there can be less fighting amongst us from now on.

Building a Bridge

Josh and I have cleared the air.

I sat down w/ him & Eliyora and had a conversation about how we both have been feeling. He apologized for telling people things that weren’t true and throwing me under the bus, and I apologized for all the stress my crusade for revenge caused him and his loved ones.

I no longer have any issues with Josh. Do I disagree with his choices on how to handle the videos? Absolutely. But that was his choice to make. I just wanted to be heard, and to get an apology.

I also apologize to the members of the community that my feud with Josh affected. I have been trying to treat this like a war instead of like two hurt and wounded people scrambling for peace.

To those who tried to ruin me: I forgive you. What you did was out of wrath and anger. I understand what it’s like to lose yourself in that. I hope you’ll come to forgive me for being so spiteful over a few misunderstandings.

I hope we can get the focus back onto making this community safe for abuse survivors and children again.

Just to be clear to people: I never saw Scar as gay, like at all. A bunch of other people do, to the point where it has its own section on his Wikipedia page. I only asked Bubble because I know she's gay and I wanted to get the perspective of a gay person. Also, Scar is best villain.

So I heard this from some people and I wanted to see what you think: do you think Scar from the Lion King is offensive to gay people? I saw on his Wikipedia page that some LGBT people considered the way Scar acted to be gay and the fact that he was evil to be offensive.

…wh…what? No really…what??????

This is exactly what I feared the most about Lily for years: her influence on children. If they take what she says seriously and actually apply it in their lives, God help us all.

When it comes to Lily, its bigger than just "I don't wanna get into petty drama". The fact of the matter is that Lily can and has hurt people with her toxic bullshit. Brittney, you yourself and Blake are living proof of this. It's not a matter of them *wanting* speak out against Lily. It's a matter of them *needing* to. (1/2)

“And you already mentioned that the people not getting involved are people who jumped at the chance to condemn Toon. What’s the line here? There’s documented proof and easily verifiable testimonials against the both of them. Does Lily have to go after children before they speak up against her? (2/2)”Yes, this. All of this. Where the fuck is the line?

My First My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Review

Yes, the title gave the surprise away: I am a brony. I watch a show that was aimed at little girls, but has grown into something much greater. And I am proud of it. Proud to watch a show that has changed the lives of many people, including myself. Proud to be a part of a great fandom that has endured through all adversity. And above all else, proud to be as straight as can be, so I can prove all Anti-Bronies wrong. I joined the fandom sometime before Season 4 aired and have finally built up the courage to try reviewing. I’m not going to review the show as a whole, because Friendship is Magic doesn’t have a long story arc the way Transformers does and it would be too difficult to talk about all the ways this show is awesome. I could write a whole book if I wanted to do that. Plus, there are a lot of specific episodes that I want to focus on, and I can’t do that if I review the series as a whole. Instead, I’m going to talk about my favorite character centric episodes. What that means is that I’m going to review all of the episodes that focus on a specific character, be it that is demonstrates their best selves or bring out the best selves of others, which I find to be the most enjoyable. I’ll be doing this for every main and secondary character, so buckle up get ready for the ride.

I was going to start this review off with my favorite Twilight Sparkle episode, but recent events have forced my opinion to change. So instead, I’m going to go through the list in the same pattern that all of the Mane Six got their keys in Season 4, saving Twilight for last. And that means I’m going to start this off with Rarity.

Rarity was a character in the show, that I didn’t have that high expectations for when I started watching MLP. I’ve seen thousands of characters that are focused on beauty and fashion across dozens of shows, cartoons or otherwise, and they always drive me nuts!! They’re either vain, selfish, stupid, or evil, and I got really tired of that kind of character really quickly. That sends the kind of message that says that that’s the wrong way to be a girl, and that’s a very toxic message. But Rarity was very, very different. She’s friendly, fun to watch, funny, considerate, and above all else, she never looked down on anyone because of their appearance. She may have been a little passive aggressive at times, but she never saw anyone as anything short of worthwhile. She’s a prime example of how the show takes tropes and cliches and subverts the audience’s expectations.

Having said all this, you might think she’s my favorite character. Well, not really. I do love and appreciate her, but I don’t necessarily relate with her the way I do with Applejack or Twilight. Also, there are aspects of Rarity I don’t enjoy. Such as how she flirts with stallions to get her way. My problem isn’t with the flirting in particular; flirting has been used to create and maintain strong relationships both in and out of the workplace. My problem with this lies in the fact that whenever Rarity does it, it’s for her own benefit and not the benefit of both herself and the stallions she flirts with. That’s how flirting should be used in the real world: to benefit both parties, not just yourself. I don’t see that with Rarity. Whenever she does it, it not only benefits just her, it can also lead to the detriment of the stallion she flirts with. But then again, that’s one reason why I fell in love with this show: the characters have flaws. They’re not perfect, and that makes for much more dynamic characters and leads to some interesting stories. And besides, that is just one aspect of her, and not her whole character, and it doesn’t take away from an all around awesome mare and awesome character.

Figuring out my favorite Rarity episode was pretty difficult. Simply because, Rarity hasn’t had an episode that I can call bad. All of her episodes are episodes I enjoy, some of which are my favorite of all time. Now, she’s been in some episodes that I can call bad, such as Cart Before the Ponies, Mare do Well, and Putting Your Hoof Down, but the focus wasn’t on her. Whenever the focus has been on Rarity, it rarely fails to entertain me. And after long hours of soul searching and deciding (and flipping coins) I have finally decided that my favorite Rarity episode is….

The Saddle Row Review!

This episode feels like kind of a cheat considering my character centric rule, and this episode focuses on the Mane Six as a whole. However, the events that take place here are based on Rarity’s development and it demonstrates how she can bring about the best in others, so I’m counting it.

And besides, I can’t help it: this episode is amazing, and is one of my top three episodes of season six. The humor is great, the story is told in an interesting way, the characters (both old and new) are great, the animation is great, everything about this episode is just phenomenal. But enough prattle, LET’S DO THIS!

This episode is about Rarity opening up her new boutique in Manehattan. This was touched upon in Gift of Maud Pie, and now it’s being expanded upon. Didn’t expect it this soon, but I can roll with it. The place Rarity bought for the boutique is in shambles, but with the help of her friends, Rarity pulls through and opens, what some of the customers call, one of the best boutiques in history.

From that description, the episode probably doesn’t sound all that interesting. Cliche even. However, how it’s told and what goes on during it really makes this episode shine.

This episode is really unique compared to others because it is told through not one, but two framing devices, that make for some excellent humor. More into the humor later, but let’s talk about the framing devices. The events that happened in this episode already happened and the Mane Six are reading about them through an article in the Manehattan newspaper. That, on its own, probably wouldn’t make this episode as memorable as it is. However, that’s not where it stops. While the interview is shown as a flashback, the ponies being interviewed narrate the events to the articles writer (who looks a lot like J. Jonah Jameson for some reason) in a Manehattan diner.

That is a really unique and creative way to tell the story, especially for this kind of show. The way the scenes transition from one to another leads to some very clever humor, be it background gags from the setting, or one character saying something happened, and then the opposite happens. And what makes this so great is just how clever each joke is. You can probably see where they’re going to go with each one, but that doesn’t make them any less funny. For example, there’s one joke where Twilight starts singing a dance remix about sweeping, and Rainbow Dash and Applejack tease her about this when they’re being interviewed, however the scene then cuts to them singing along with her and enjoying it. The timing on each joke is great. The episode doesn’t spend too much time on one joke in the hopes that you get it. They move at such a rapid fire pace and just expect you to get it. That’s not that far off from Over a Barrel in season one, which is always welcomed.

But then again, I really shouldn’t use humor as a selling point for an episode, as humor is subjective. Fortunately, humor is not the only thing that makes this episode succeed. There’s also the moral. At first, one might think it’s another, friends are always there to help you kind of tale, but we already got that from Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000 and Applebuck Season. While that lesson is there, the deeper moral here is that when a friend asks you to help them, you shouldn’t think about how they might want you to handle it. Instead, you should handle it the way you would handle it, because that’s why the friend asked you for help in the beginning. That’s a really unique moral, that I haven’t seen in a lot of cartoons. It’s easy to think about how someone would want you to do something, but when you were given a task, it’s not because that person trusts you to do it the way they would do it, it’s because you know how to handle it best, in your own special way. And I really love this moral. It stresses individuality instead of mob mentality and that is always appreciated.

The characters were also great as well. Each of the main characters had a chance to shine and show their best, and the secondary characters provided some great humor as well, such as Coco being sick and Plaid Stripes spoon clothing thing.

But that also leads to the only problem I really had with this episode: Spike wasn’t here. Given how much he cares about Rarity, I find it odd that he wasn’t around to help her when she needed it. However, that’s my only gripe in what is otherwise a fantastic episode.

So, all in all, The Saddle Row Review is definitely my favorite Rarity episode, and all around one of my favorite episodes of the series. It was funny, it was thought compelling, it was a joy to look at, all the characters were great, and it was just a lot of fun. Definite recommendation from this guy.

The Saddle Row Review: 9/10

Hope you enjoyed this review and join me next time for when I review my favorite Rainbow Dash episode. I’m the Reviewer With No Name, and I’ll see you next time.

Roughedge reveiw? I mean character reveiw?tfrid

I'm sorry to tell you this ,but I don't know enough about Roughedge to do a full character review about him. I talked about him before and how I find him interesting to think about, but since he didn't talk or express any emotion in his appearances, it's almost impossible to do a character study on him, without using some headcannons. Sorry.

Im kinda curious about your thoughts on (rid2015) Roughedge?

Roughedge was a very interesting factor that I didn't think we'd ever see in RID: Autobots that aren't good. He's not a bot that lives by Autobot standards, and would rather do things his own way. That's why he's a bounty hunter: that field of work offers maximum pay and zero loyalties. I do wish he would've talked or interacted with Starscream a little bit, but I do like him, and wish he would return (and get a toy.)
