Wow that sure was a finale. To the series, I hope. That seemed like an end-of-series moment. To be honest, this whole shebang is getting old.

… WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN “SEASON 6 HAS ALREADY BEEN CONFIRMED”? OH MY GOD, I’M SO TIRED OF THIS BULLSHIT

Me and my wife agree that this season was the last for us.

S6 is gonna be the last for me. Because it’s probably gonna start in the second half of 2016, and then run all the way into 2017 for a spring finale. Following that is the horse movie in November, which might read like a series finale.

But Hasbro probably won’t let it end there. They’re probably looking to Spongebob it and the ride will never end. Not to say that an S7 would be nice (assuming decent writing on average). But at some point, not hitting all the sour tropes indicative a show running for too long is going to be impossible.

Eh.

I guess it’s due to the people I follow and/or the friends I have, but I’m starting to get the impression that MLP is entering denouement.

Don’t get me wrong, season 5 has been great. But the recent bout of “meh” episodes has been getting me to think that maybe the writers are starting to hit a couple of walls.

Especially with Twilight. Good lord. All season, she’s been practically absent and in the times she has been the focus, she doesn’t even sound like herself. Like she’s just hanging around not doing anything productive, exaggerating her worries, and just appearing to be simply useless! This princess thing has been essentially detrimental to her development as she’s apparently hit her peak and has nowhere to go but straight down. Ugh. And she was one of my favorite characters :c

Of course, I’m probably gonna eat these words by the time the finale hits. Maybe it’s some intentional bug that becomes the focus of the last two episodes. But even after that, I fear that S6 will only continue this trend downhill. All the way to the series’ completion.

I sometimes see people take pride in the fact that they’ve blocked hundreds of people on this site.

And I can’t help but think, why would you be proud of that?

Seriously, though! If you find it necessary and perfectly fine to block 500 people for reasons like, “HE DISAGREED WITH ME” or “HE STOLE ART” or “I DON’T LIKE THIS FUCKWAD, HE’S BREAKING MY PERSONALITY BUBBLE,” then you have a problem.

However, if you block hundreds of people for actually harrassing you (threats, unwarranted advances, spam, triggers, bleh), then that’s more justified. Still, one would have to wonder why you got so much trash hurled at you to begin with. There might lie a blogging problem.
