Then Joseph had another dream, and he told his brothers about it. He said, “I had another dream. I saw the sun, the moon, and eleven stars bowing down to me.” Genesis 37:9

Watching Twilight's ascension to princessdom during the first 3-4 seasons, I was thinking about Joseph and his prophetic dreams.

I thought about how Twilight's cutie mark, the mark that foretold her destiny, was a great shining star with five small stars closeby.

I thought about Joseph's dream in which he was a star, and his brothers and parents---the stars, sun, and moon---bowed down to him.

I thought about how every pony in Equestria, including her five friends, bowed down to Twilight.

I thought about how Joseph's future in Egypt was revealed to him when he was a teenager, and how it all unfolded over the course of many years.

I thought about how Twilight's destiny was in the making as early as her fillyhood, when she earned her cutiemark, even when they didn't know and everyone assumed it just meant she was good at magic.

S8, E18 “Yakity Sax”

Okay but I was actually fully not prepared for this episode to, first of all, portray depression (and mental illness in general) in such an affective way. Especially considering how all of the other mane six tried ignoring what was hurting pinkie by cheering her up in other ways, instead of addressing the problem which is what Pinkie needed. Forcing your friends to be happy won’t help them. BUT THAT SHIT??? Easy pickings compared to HOW THEY DEMONSTRATED SUBSTANCE ABUSE AS A COPING MECHANISM??? I kid you not this had me SOBBING. Obviously this is a kids show, so the substance was ice cream. But very, very, very obviously related to alcohol. For christs’ sake, they had Pinkie sitting there like she was at a bar downing bowls of ice cream and demanding the waitress yak “gets her another”. Oh my god this had me shook.

"The creative team considers how the personality of each character translates into facial expressions, body language, props, and home environment. The Mane Six -- Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Apple Jack, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie -- each have expressions and style characteristics that are unique to that character, as well as general expressions that they all share. According to the DHX Media team, 'There are certainly characters that would make different expressions, like you might do something with Pinkie Pie that you would never do with Applejack or Twilight or Rarity. So we don't have something that's specific for just one character, but we avoid certain expressions if it goes outside their personalities.'"

I finished the first two episodes in season 8 of FiM. Oh my gosh??? They were so well written??? (School Daze, part 1 and 2).

I genuinely enjoyed these so much. I loved the commentary on very real issues that our society faces. The most obvious one was racism, with Chancellor Neigh Say making comments like “go back to your kind” and “these creatures”. This was written in an impactful way that resonated with me.

The Chancellor was allowing his stereotypes and prejudice to rule people as a threat, which is something every kind of minority can relate to. In one scene, Princess Celestia tells the Chancellor that, at one point in pre-equestrian history, the different kinds of ponies also treated each other the same way. They fought because of their differences, instead of allowing themselves to embrace them and coexist with one another regardless. The way that the writers addressed this was written effectively and in a realistic way. Especially when the students got into a fight. They were raised on stereotypes, and they had to de-program their brains to see that their differences didn’t have to be barriers to friendship. Literally the best kids show ever.

I’m gonna be honest, when I first heard about the whole Twilight-opening-a-school-of-friendship thing, I was skeptical. After all, doesn’t treating friendship like lectures take the value out of it? BUT THEY ADDRESSED THIS!! In fact, it was heavily based around exactly that. It’s such a good parallel to the effects of the American public education system (I can’t speak on private schools and other country’s policies since I haven’t experienced or educated myself on the topic). The students spent hours going from class to class, sitting through lecture after lecture. They got bored, antsy, frustrated, but most importantly, they didn’t learn anything! Because that isn’t an effective way to educate people, especially children with tons of energy. This is so so accurate to my experience in school, where I succeeded by putting in minimal effort. Showing my teachers what they wanted without actually caring about my education. Guys I love this show.

Also. This parallel. My heart. My itty bitty little pony filled heart.

So I was doing some research on the pony Pacific Glow because she looks so much like Pinkie Pie. During this research, I found this.

This is the funniest thing I've ever seen and I can't stop laughing.
