Ah, I finally have my MLP Season 9 first half rankings finalized. Now it's the final countdown to finals, after which I'll start on the show's final list of 13 episodes
I'm amazed by that survey stating that out of like 800,000 college students, not a single one would say they were a below average driver. I definitely am immensely rare then as I very much admit to being below average at driving. But that is why I am working to improve at it.
Yes I was able to get an Absol badge before the Badge Arcade closes
Also because of purchases I now have exactly one cent left in my linked 3DS/Wii U account
I finished the first half of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Season 9. I still need to finalize my thoughts but right now I'd say it certainly does a better job feeling like it has substance than Season 8's first half did.
If you really liked the Pokémon Presents that's fine but it didn't really click for me at all, except maybe that there being a stop-motion Pokémon show is cool. Personally seeing Steven again was more interesting than 98% of anything else
The question I asked about my favorite and least favorite fictional character is just for fun; it isn't about having to know me extremely well, but only give a possible answer for what you do know about my interests
Just for the record 2012 was the most average year in my life for it kind of dragging without massive change until I got my first 3DS (though I really liked my 4th grade teacher) and between fiction being boring, having poorly executed morals, or writing previously likable characters as out of character, out of character problems aggravate me the most.
As a New Year's treat to myself, (and also because that date ended my self-imposed cartoon episode embargo) I have started watching Season 9 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic with The Beginning of the End and Uprooted. Like with Seasons 7 and 8, I had a very clear preference out of the first two episodes. I saw The Beginning of the End as a solid two-parter, especially brought up by Discord's role being executed excellently, and most other aspects being good except I didn't like that Twilight regressed into her earlier seasons freaking out motions in some scenes. However it wasn't quite as good as the best season openers (The Return of Harmony and The Cutie Map). I saw Uprooted as forgettable at best though due to it being extremely similar to the disagreement plot of rebuilding a destroyed monument Castle Sweet Castle had, except with the Student Six instead of the Mane Six. While not degrading exactly or the worst episode I've newly seen this decade, I'd recommend seeing or reseeing Castle Sweet Castle first to see the major retreads it has. Twilight freaks out in it too so this episode isn't even an edge in her characterization.
Good legislation was passed respecting my community
We just need to keep debunking the big lie that saying "I believe bi/gay people shouldn't have rights but won't judge you if you disagree" does not make you intolerant
Considering it's nearing the end of this year, I'd say the first three years of this decade have been pretty good for me so far (certainly better than 2017-2019). I've done some good work in my personal life including picking up trash, and my petsitting and bus boy jobs, and some good work on the community including pushing for more creator say in images for the front page poll, voicing my thoughts on FA nominations, and making minor edits on pages. Only gonna go up from here.
