Nightly Megathread #88

Hello, everypony! Joseph Houser here... It's the day after Christmas, and certain realities are setting in as we speak... You know, things were said that shouldn't have been said... Stuff was done that you wished didn't happen... It's perfectly normal... But, I'm sure you don't regret it one bit, right?

*FPLOON whispers in Joseph Houser's ear*

A Cure For Boredom

Even Discord thinks I've lost it.

Well I couldn't think of a proper discussion for tonight but I did think up something just as fun! Tonight we are going to play Cards Against Humanity! ...How can you do that online? Well I've devised a rudimentary system. Read on after the break and join us for some fun!

Trig Rant #7: Gravity Shifts

Character growth is the definitive backbone of Friendship is Magic. Even the action-oriented two-parters at the tail ends of a season sport massive growth in Twilight, the mane six, and their relationships that binds the show together, Canterlot Wedding not really withstanding (Seriously, “trust your instincts”? We all know the whole point of the season two finale was to unlock Twilight’s true form of Pinkie’s magic-mini gun).

Anyway, what the hay is this rant going to be about anyway? With MLP’s incredibly tight focus on slice-of-life character building and a healthy fifty-nine episodes under its belt, I fear one thing: a dead end to characters. How do the writers plan to backtrack and can they do it effectively? I guess we’ll see…

Head past the break for pony talk.

Wonderbolt Academy Alt Ending Script

Well, it looks like Megan has revealed the script to an alternate ending to the Wonderblot Academy episode on Twitter... Huh... This gives the ending an interesting perspective the more I read into it... It also seems kind of extended, as well...
