Canyon Light

First off, I'm not concerned if I liked the episode or not. Either way, it won't compel me to stir up drama. I'm no critic, I just enjoy the ride. After re-watching it twice, I see some potential continuity with the likes of Toola Roola and Coconut Cream reappearing later. I really hope the whole everypony is a jerk shtick is toned down the next episode, who does care for what the majority of the populace have to say? Let's focus on the characters, not the background ponies as a whole entity. The background ponies making the loudest fuss, does not follow well for next episode. So surely this episode was a self referential jab and nothing more after. When the Friendship Journal was distributed across Equestria, I knew this had Larson's handiwork all over it. A non-sequitor at best. I will enjoy the reception of memes and such on Derpibooru though, always quality entertainment images, macros, gifs, etc.

Where did you find this fanfiction story, if you recall? Fimfiction search resulted in two similarly named stories, one about Shy turning into a bunny and the other starting off differently. Also, this topic better belongs in the Crystal Empire Library section, but that's fine for now being here, long as it was accidental. However please keep this in mind.

I'm just curious, which ideas in particular are you glad that didn't go through? Because I don't think I would like some original ideas that didn't make it, as well. I wouldn't know if it was the toy department, wouldn't surprise me though. You're probably right though, if Faust remained, Hasbro would of done it anyways. I can't say the show would be much better if she stayed on it, as seven seasons in some change is expected as we see it undergo in the show. I faintly recall the outrage Cadance's change received, but that's it. A lot of now long ago old memories. For me it was a bit of a shock, not only as initial shock to fuel Twilight, but once the dust settled, the realization set in. It will be some time still before I warm up to the castle as much as the treelibrary. I do wonder though, speaking of Hasbro, how about the other half of their franchises like Transformers? I find it hilarious that Allspark Pictures is in-part producing the MLP: FiM movie because of its name. Is it just me or is MLP: FiM and related more focused on or rather prioritized versus Transformers? How are those Transformers movies working out for them, I wonder. Stopped watching them after Age of Extinction, and I don't even watch any modern Transformers shows anymore. I'm more excited and anticipating MLP: FiM's movie and rest of season seven, versus what I should be interested in for cartoons by rigid and dated society standards. Woohoo.

Besides my tangent above about Faust overall, I would say the show has strayed a bit from her vision. Which is an understatement in some examples. The Golden Oaks Library tree's condition was a twist I did not expect and still it felt like it was wrong. So many memories from the early seasons would occur in that treelibrary as a place of meetups and interaction. I watch media, of PMVs, parodies, etc, and every time I see the treelibrary in a scene, it's unfortunate. Yet an example of an intact idea of her's is the Apples' parents. Many different changes have occurred since Season 1, but the show is still not worse from wear with trying new ideas. Sure, many of us wanted Firefly to be Rainbow Dash's mother, as a fun head-canon. However, many including myself, were more than content with RD's parents revealed in the show. With the show having half of season 7 to finish up featuring a tie-in to comics, and a movie for it, it remains to be seen if it really is worse for wear. Has the show strayed the path of original intent and meaning enough to cause me to stop watching it? Nope. Regarding Equestria Girls, long as EqG does not steal the spotlight from the main show and overlap excessively, it's all good to me. The show's early seasons felt down-to-earth, genuine and honestly well meaning. The later seasons up to now had hits and misses of episodes with staff changes, but I enjoy it even more after watching the early seasons first in order. I still get that anticipation of new episodes to see where it goes, it's a fuzzy and daresay comfortable feeling, in part as to why I watch the show even now. It feels like the same show still as when I first started watching it. I won't be the one to doomsay about the show and stir up unnecessary drama. If something great happens, being along for the ride is great. If something cringey or terrible happens, being along for the ride is fascinating. Either way, for me it is fun to be apart of 'the ride'. I'll be going along for the ride, whichever path it goes, as it's my favorite.
