I Dream of Twilight modblog
Month
Though I’d quickly mention what I’m doing for now about the whole Tumblr situation going on.
As a generally safe blog, I don’t have too much to worry about. Only about 2-3 completely innocent posts were flagged and I’ve got them all cleared up already. I do plan on sticking around still. Just regardless of what happens I’m still going to kind of low on new posts at least until Season 9 of MLP begins. Because coming really soon is Smash Ultimate and I’m going to spend a lot of time playing that game.
I still ordered some of my blog to get back-upped via the Export button just in case. But yeah, for now I don’t plan on leaving even if the mass exodus means less followers are around.
Well it’s September again, and for those that have been following for awhile, you know September 30th is my birthday, and on my birthday i like to a birthday group drawing of fellow September birthday mates on tumblr, so is your birthday in September, send me a link of your character.

This is Genie Twilight. My birthday was just two days ago heh.
You’ve drawn Genie Twilight before (Though that was years ago) so I figure you’re fine there already. But message me if you’d like a reference anyway.
I know I’ve been a bit late with episode responses. I may just have to tell you that now for at least the rest of this season I’ll get to doing the episode responses when I want to rather then try to get one within the week after the episode aired. I’ll certainly at least try to get Matter of Principals’ response done by next week.
The Hearth’s Warming episode I might even delay it’s response til’ after the season to try to connect it with the 1-hour Christmas special we’re getting in December.
Stuff like hype for Smash Ultimate as well as other things that have been going on has just made it harder for me to find time to even do small episode responses. Been also catching all or most of the early airings so I can have a solid plan for at least a couple of episodes moving forward.
(Sorry for taking a bit longer to get to then I wanted but kept focusing on different things throughout the days. But finally here it is)
Hey! Just informing everyone I’ll be at Trotcon this weekend for the 3rd time in the past 4 years. Though I think this may likely be the final time I go.
Just like last time I’ll be there for most of Saturday and stay the whole night there and some of Sunday morning before finally heading back home.
After the break is a new mod pic, though I’ll be having the same get up I had last year with the same Princess Twilight shirt and of course the paper of “I am the mod of I Dream of Twilight Sparkle” on it. This is always just in case there’s any chance someone following me (That I don’t know already) will be there.
In any case, I’m coming in with more subdued expectations with last time since it wasn’t quite as short and sweet as my first but nonetheless I will be happy to be walking around the convention for one more hurrah.. As I’ve already said, this may be the last time I go and maybe even the last convention I ever go to since it’s not like there’s many close enough that I’d have a heavy interest in going. So I’ll try to enjoy all I can.
So… Today we posted on Patreon that we had an EXTREMELY rude awakening. Yesterday we toiled hard on our four year old niece’s birthday cake… We left it overnight to cool so that we could decorate it for her today. It was to be a VERY elaborate affair of cakistry…. We have made it clear to EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE what this cake is for. It has been a BIT comin!
Today we awoke to find a solid sixth of the cake hacked off and nommed… EXTREMELY Upset about this. We spent the LAST of our money for the entire month on that cake so that this girl could have a great birthday experience in a new, exciting place.
It costs 15 bucks MINIMUM to make that cake… there isn’t enough time but we figure she’s gonna be over here a couple days, we can decorate her a NEW cake tomorrow. HOWEVER, we need help. Please donate to save a little girl’s birthday cakesperience
Our email for such things (paypal) is thephilososhycollective@gmail.com
Any extra money we get FOR today or tomorrow beyond our cake goal will go to giving the kid a good time. Please Have A Heart.
Someone Did Not Already And She Should Not Have To Be Punished For That
Hey there just putting a quick note out there on 3 things
1. First of which is in regard to the Smash contest. It is open once again to being able to switch characters and/or new sign-ups now that E3 is over. However we still have no winners yet. As no one picked a veteran that was not in Smash 4, Daisy, or Ridley. But as mentioned before the contest runs for the entire game’s lifetime (In regards to gaining new characters anyway). There could still be reveals in-between now and the release of the game. Plus there is the full roster reveal once the game comes out, and then there’s always DLC. So this contest is far from over. That said that was SOOOOO hype and I cannot wait until December! ^^
2. 2nd of which I do have an idea already for the episode response to the mid-season finale we got for Season 8 of Friendship is Magic. Though it’s not going to be a big thing either way. But I’m still going to delay making it just yet. Though this is mainly because of the 3rd thing that is a decently big-sized update
3. And that last thing is something I have planned to hopefully be ready for the 20th this month. And it will be mostly on the group blog Ain’t Never Had Friends Like Us
Thank you, and hope you’re all having a nice day ^^
Yeah no one picked who got in so far, but there’s still the chance another character or two is announced later today or the coming days (Wii Fit Trainer and Pac-Man were done that way after all). But so far yeah no winners. Though this does run until all of the Game’s new character content lifetime including DLC and such. ^^
This one’s kind of another hard one to think of a response for. So just asking for help again here.
So once again. Send an ask, reply to this post, or leave a suggestion in the Discord Server I have for the group blog for ideas of what to do with the episode Marks for Effort
Thank you and have a nice day ^^
I think if he never got wings though that’d clearly make him a different type of dragon then the ones we saw before though. Maybe they could of pulled something like the one Courage the Cowardly Dog episode that had a dragon that didn’t understand why it couldn’t fly, but it was actually because he was a Water dragon. But it’s not like Spike had any webbed parts of his body to indicate that or anything.
Also I’ll take this opportunity to post the sprite rotation I have of Spike now that he has wings.
Wings Out:
Wings Folded:
Today’s was another difficult one to think immediately of a response for. So I appreciate any assistance if you can.
So: Send an ask, reply to this post, or leave a suggestion in the Discord Server I have for the group blog for ideas of what to do with the episode Non-Compete Clause
Thank you and have a nice day ^^
Quite a humorous episode today, but still once again I may need some help with ideas for the response for this one. I imagine it will involve Celestia in some way, but still don’t know exactly what.
So once again: Send an ask, reply to this post, or leave a suggestion in the Discord Server I have for the group blog for ideas of what to do with the episode Horse Play
Thank you and have a nice day ^^
An evil pony by the name of Zathir stabs him in/across the eye in an attempt to murder him in revenge for Spike’s interference that foiled his plan to take over Saddle Arabia and likely all of Equestria as well.
Luckily, the wound didn’t turn out fatal but it took the professional nursing skills of the Sultana of Saddle Arabia and a lucky break that Fluttershy still had a bat tooth with venom (Which in the context of the story that’s foreshadowed in Act 2, is said to have healing properties on living creatures) in it. The only side effect is it turns his eye purple. But otherwise he can still perfectly see with it. As they mention, they’d probably prefer to have two working eyes even if one is discolored then only one working eye. Which without the medicinal venom, Spike would of certainly lost that eye completely.
It’s the scar he gets at the end of the story. If you noticed every post that chronologically takes place after that arc he has that scar from now on.
It’s meant to help differentiate this blog’s Spike from any other. As well as some dramatic tension in the final parts of the story. Plus a reason to cheer for Twilight to beat the perpetrator to a pulp as she does heh.
Trying to prove a point to someone after he said that nobody cares for Sonic in 3D.
3D Sonic is my jam
I will always cherish the 2 Sonic Adventure games come what may. I appreciate the legacy of the 2D Sonic games. But they’re too difficult for me personally. I can acknowledge them as better games from an objective standpoint. But I’m not going to put games I can’t personally finish over ones that I can and enjoy finishing over and over again just because they’re more critically acclaimed.
P.S. Please Sega, bring both Adventure games to the Switch in anyway possible. The portability would do wonders alone for SA2′s Chao garden
It’s that time again, I need help with some ideas for an episode response to today’s episode. Been a while since I’ve needed help for ideas so hopefully some of you have something.
As always: Send an ask, reply to this post, or leave a suggestion in the Discord Server I have for the group blog for ideas of what to do with Fake It Til’ You Make It
Thank you and have a nice day ^^
(Please Do Consider Reading This Through, We Know It’s Long! ><)
So recently we’ve been trying to get commissions! Money’s a bit tight and the tidal wave of life doesn’t stop for anything! We’re looking for as many patrons as we can get and we are hoping for motivation from everyone to improve what we’re doing and develop a community that everyone can join and love without trouble and with full acceptance for their differences and creative drives and passions!
So we’ve decided to stir the waters about patreon again, understanding that perhaps our messages haven’t been as profound about it. You understand we’re making things but what should you pledge, if anything at all, and how does that pledge compare to other expenditures in life? We used to do this sort of article before we got a Patreon and we were still living solely off donations but we thought to send it back out there in case anyone forgot!
Presently, from what we can tell, we have something over 900 Followers on this Tumblr! We have been PRETTY diligent about wiping out the porn bots lately so we can assume that AT LEAST 2 thirds of them MIGHT be real in the longrun, accounting that the last third are dead accounts and stuff. We don’t make many notes but we know that plenty see them because they say so from time to time without leaving notes and when time comes that we REALLY seem to need them we can get well over thirty notes for a single post.
We presently make around 150 dollars from about 12 patrons (and a portion of that goes to supporting other creators) so it’s fair to say that this sort of number is not the total of those people who privately support us; those who we call on tonight to stand with us and help us in the coming months because we dearly hope that the work we do is worth it enough for them to offer up just a dollar!
So here’s a list Trying to pin down EXACTLY how much Pledging to our patreon would cost YOU
Finally got my Switch! Just placing my friend code here.
SW-3372-3971-1325
Feel free to reply with your own in case you’re busy to grab your Switch and I can add you instead.
NOTE: THERE WILL BE NO SPECIFIC SPOILERS IN THE INITIAL PART OF THIS NOTE THOUGH SOME IMPORTANT FUTURE STUFF THAT I THINK IS WORTH MENTIONING SO WE CAN PREPARE FOR IT WILL BE OUTLINED. IF YOU WANT TO AVOID ANY KIND OF SPOILERS REGARDING SEASON 8 AND/OR EQUESTRIA GIRLS. DO NOT CLICK AFTER THE BREAK.
Hey everyone, this weekend we surely got a big shake up in news recently with a huge leak that contains plans for the future of MLP from as early as next year for Season 8 to as late as 2020-2021. Now I won’t mention any specifics right out in public view. I’ll keep some thoughts on what I know for after the break. So if you don’t mind delving into what was revealed and are curious of what my impressions are on things. Then feel free to check after the break. Otherwise, ignore it if you’re in no mood for any spoilers right now.
There are however a few things we now know from this leak that I think is especially important to know. I don’t count it as a spoiler because this is the kind of thing that’s always in the back of our minds especially with a show that’s gone on for this long so we can prepare for it : The question of when will it end, and furthermore… what will come after?
According to plans laid out in the leak. Season 9 will be the final season of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
And that’s not all, it might very well be the end of Generation 4 as a whole. As concept art of what looks to be the beginnings of a Generation 5 coming in 2020-2021 were revealed as well.
So as it stands, we have at least 2-3 years left of the current show/generation we’ve come to enjoy. With an uncertain future ahead as from what we can gather, already looks to have some odd changes that will certainly at least take many people some time getting used to for those most familiar with G4 (Specifics on why that is will be mentioned below the break)
This is absolutely the biggest takeaway that I think needs to be spread amongst the fandom. So we can properly prepare for the show’s ending. It’ll be sad when the final episode has aired. But I think by then in our hearts we’ll know it had a good run. 9 Seasons, a feature-length movie, and a decently successful spin-off series is going to be a tough act to follow even if G5′s show turns out to be good. The only regret I’d say is I wish the MLP movie we got came sooner in this generation’s lifetime so there could of been a chance at a 2nd movie that could of improved on some things. Or at the very least have a 2nd movie be G4′s true finale to really go out with a bang. Instead, the next movie will serve as the pilot for G5 which will come with some amount of uncertainty.
As for how this effects Genie Twilight related matters. I fully intend to ride it out to the final season and final episode response. And definitely last at least a little after the show has officially ended. I just can’t be 100% sure if I’ll be still going by the time Generation 5 begins. With the end of G4 incoming, I do have to start thinking on ending this blog eventually too. This won’t be until at least 2-3 years from now, alot can change in that time. But nothing lasts forever. I’m full of uncertainty myself about it. I’m not so sure what I’ll move on to after I’m finished. But at least I have a fair bit of time to figure that out.
Now, I’ll leave off to after the break that will contain impressions of some of what I know from the leak. So if you’re avoiding spoilers this is where you can feel free to leave off here. If you want to talk about any of what I mentioned, however. Feel free to drop off some asks over on my mod blog
Oh ^^’
Heh, sorry. I don’t even have a smartphone at the moment so I have no idea no idea what Tumblr mobile is like. For clarification this is probably mostly for those viewing with desktop. Again, sorry about that.
But why not have a drink anyway. Have a (virtual) coke :V
Hey just a quick mod note that I’ve updated the sidebar on the main page with some clickable images rather than the text they were for years.
Episode Responses are now separated from the specials. Each represented in the banners by some of my favorite episode responses for that particular season. And although Season 7 isn’t quite over yet (officially in the US anyway) I thought I’d add that already. As I doubt the next 2-3 episodes have something I will want to replace Twi’s Mom with. (Cause I might be biased like that hehe)
But other stuff like the specials, important stuff like the FAQ and my Mod blog, as well as of course the Discord server all have their own images too.
Hey just want to say real quick that the episode response for Once Upon A Zeppelin might be late. As in I might not have the response for it done until next week after another new episode has aired. I usually like to have a response done before the next episode airs. But I think in this case it’s going to be a little delayed. Some of the reason for that is this response might be one of the longest in a long while.
As for things on the movie, though I said I might do something for it the week after. I’m actually going to wait until sometime after Season 7 is officially over (As in the Season Finale has aired on TV plus after I’ve done the response to the finale). I was also going to give a first impression thing once I did see it. But decided to wait a bit before giving my full thoughts. However, if you want to know my thoughts about anything specific feel free to ask me over on my mod blog.
Thank you and have a nice day ^^
This episode’s quite difficult for me to think of a response for. Maybe there’s one small thing I could do regarding a very small scene. But otherwise I thought I’d put it up to some of you guys.
Remember, it’s been long established in this blog that even Genies can’t do anything about Cutie Marks
So, if you can plese send an ask, reply, or suggestion in the Discord server for an episode response to Marks and Recreation
Thank you and have a nice day ^^
