A failure.
Twilight Sparkle struggled to walk forward. Her legs were wobbling with every step she took. The darkness didn't help. Ever since she and Spike had failed to find the crystal heart, a shadow had consumed the entire interior of the castle. When that happened, she and Spike had been separated. She had no idea if he was ten feet away,

#64) I'm at college and my room-mate doesn't know that I like MLP. I'm embarrassed to mention it to him, but it's a problem because I can't draw or watch ponies with him in the room...which is all the time. What advice do you have for me?
Answer: I think you should be at an age now where you should be accepted for your inoffensive interests. He probably has his own interests that could be seen as embarrassing. You're living together for the foreseeable future, and so it's not healthy to keep something to yourself that you want to be a part of. It won't be much fun spending an entire year, or perhaps longer, hiding your interest and avoiding

"As for thou," Prince Knight Light said as he turned towards the blue unicorn adorned in both purple cape and cloak, "Thou were the cause of all this trouble."
Trixie gritted her teeth and shriveled up, tugging at her magician's hat to hide from both the Prince and the surrounding knights and warponies. Princess Angel Song and Prince Knight Light stood directly behind her with stern, steely looks in their eyes as they glared down at the unicorn.

"Everypony, remain calm so as to allow our fair city to be efficiently defended!"
Even given its volume, Shining Armor's request fell on deaf ears. Unicorn citizenry either shivered in corners, or ran in all directions in an attempt to make themselves scarce from the chaos that was downtown Canterlot.
Meanwhile armored pegasi flew about, combating household objects which had become animate--brooms, mops, pantries, and even ovens which had learned to put their super-heating abilities to malicious use.
A squadron of fifty unicorns, led by Shining Armor and Princess Cadance, rushed to the scene of greatest commotion. While weary from preventi

Knight Light gasped for breath as he slid down the slope of the hill to the foliage below. With deft precision he kicked himself off just before hitting the bottom of the earthen slide and landed squarely on his hooves.
"Knights, where art thou?" he called to his fellows, two of whom slid down shortly after him.
While each of them were dressed similarly in long, sea blue caparisons decorated with their homeland's livery, Knight Light's own outfit differed slightly. He was the only 'knight'
Tangible Darkness - PrologueWith its grand walkways, high towers and prestigious noble inhabitants, one would be forgiven for believing that the city of Canterlot held nothing but good will and tales of happiness. It had always been common belief that all within the city's great walls were safe from the darkness that loomed in the quieter and less sought-after areas of the Equestrian nation. Afterall, with the royal guard protecting the city's grounds and the high seat of Equestrian royalty, what darkness could ever possibly lurk in such a grand bastion of light?Tangible Darkness - Prologue6 months ago in Introductions & Chapters More Like This

Rainbow Dash pumped her wings as she swung past the cloud pillar. A shorter, wider cloud closed in on her other side. The gap between them was just wide enough for her to zip through without touching, but that wasn't cool enough. She rolled sideways and kicked the cloud with all four hooves. It took all of her strength since the cloud was bigger than she was, but it broke apart and drifted away. Rainbow Dash grinned to herself. Dad said she was still too little to do weather work, but she had just proved him wrong!

The Price of Loyalty and Love, Chapter 1With a contented sigh, Cloudstriker wiggled a bit in his seat and gave a mighty stretch of his wings, before wrapping one of them lovingly around the mare seated next to him and burying his nose into the silver and black of her mane. After flipping a page of the book in front of her with magic, she glanced up towards him, blushing slightly at the intimate contact. A soft chuckle sounded from across the table and Striker brought his eyes up to find a green pegasus quietly looking at them from over the top of his book with a pair of startlingly bright silver eyes.The Price of Loyalty and Love, Chapter 110 months ago in Drama More Like This

Twilight arrived at Sweet Apple Acres just in time to see Big Macintosh and Caramel hauling baskets on their backs towards the orchard. The sun was beating on her, one of the hottest days of the year, causing her to sweat before she had even started to work; she could only imagine what the day would be like.
The unicorn snorted. The old Twilight would have feared and whined at the idea. Not her. She could do this. She just needed to keep herself hydrated and stay in the shade if possible. Besides, Applejack was counting on her.
Twilight approached them, ready to work through the heat, when she noticed said pony

"I'm sorry for your loss, Twilight Sparkle." The words always came hard to Sgt. Ramrod, who had found himself speaking them too many times in his life. "Boldheart was a brave warrior, and his sacrifice will not be in vain."
At the sound of his words, the broken spirited unicorn glanced up, her eyes filled with confusion. "Why did this happen? Why to him?"
"Warriors throughout history have asked that, yet none have found the answer. It is a question I'm not sure can ever truly be answered." Sgt. Ramrod explained, slowly, wishing he understood it himself. "Brave ponies like Boldheart have always given the

"Eeeaaaaah!" Spike's blade parted the rain as it glittered in the night, reflecting a burst of lightning as it flashed overhead. It impacted the plates of armor shielding Wildfire's back, there was a terrible screech as steel met steel, neither force willing to give in, yet in that moment there was a new strength that overcame both, the might of a dragon. With a crack to match the thunder bellowing above, the steel plate shattered, breaking the dagger blade off at the hilt as it snapped. Wildfire's eyes went wide, his pupils dilating as he felt the deadly shard of steel pierce his wing driving deep into his back.

She had only just woken up. She looked around the room, the bright morning sunlight filling it with the promise of a new day. Through heavy eyes, Twilight smiled up at the light her mentor was bringing. It was as if Princess Celestia was wishing Twilight good luck through the sun. She felt grateful of her teacher.

Twilight Sparkle was pacing outside of the large marble double doors of the Princess's throne room. She had been summoned by the Princess herself and had arrived early from her home at the library. However, she had gotten there quite early due to anxiety at getting the summons. She had already been there ten minutes waiting for the appointed meeting time to finally come around so as not to seem disrespectful of the Princess's wishes. She noticed the sun in the cloudless sky through one of the windows next to her, telling her it was almost noon.

Twilight looked at it but remained silent. She returned to staring down at her hooves and the neatly folded letter between them.
"Twilight, dear, are you home?"
No, Rarity. I'm not.
The door opened without Twilight's response. She heard Rarity approaching, but rather than greet her guest, she shifted her gaze out the window.

So what do I honestly think of Friendship is Magic, and it's fanbase?
It's a good cartoon, but that's it. There are a lot better ones around. I seriously loved the first three episodes of season two, but other episodes on both seasons have been just basic good. Never bad, but rarely excellent. Lesson Zero is still the best episode of the show in my opinion, and there has been none better ever since.
Otherwise I really enjoy the stylized look of the show, the excellent animation, and of course the top notch voice acting. Also, they hardly look like ponies, and are more like any stylized cartoon characters (which is a good thing in my opinion). The most enjoyable main characters have definitely been Pinkie, Twilight, and Fluttershy, due to their major mental breakdowns and freakouts. Others have been pretty muc

Unable to sustain his own weight for any longer, he collapsed clumsily in the dirt; luckily, he fell on top of his good leg, saving him from additional torment.
The sight was getting blurry and the colors were starting to become little more than dark green and brown, shaky spots. He just laid there, in the middle of the Everfree Forest; he knew he couldn't move, so he just tried to fight off the sleepiness. The pain on his leg and neck was excruciating, but he was too tired to scream or even growl. It wouldn't have made a

Full of the confidence that I lack
And bear fruit to the many weaker
Critters that call me home.

In the burgs where my

Their many roots
In the arid dust
Of lands once wild
And home to natives
That share the resources.
But alas, I am not a tree
And my roots are not planted.
I do not have the confidence
Nor can I bear fruit
Yet critters, still call me home.
