Ring-a-ding-ding, everypony! The season's almost over but, with a royal wedding around the corner, the fun's just begun: failgirl villains, overhyped empresses, and gamer logic abound in the two-parter that defined a series. Presumably. We've got nine seasons left to go.

Equestrian Racial Identity and You
2026/02/23
Spike may be a dragon, but what does that even mean when he's only grown up around ponies? To find out, he'll have to leave home and come to terms with his—oh, what's that? He's just decided he's a pony now? He's forsaken his draconic identity? Well, I'm sure that'll leave Cain and Theo with no troubling implications to explore.
This week: "Dragon Quest." Time to complete the racism special trilogy (I hope).

Poor Fluttershy—too moe to live, but too kawaii to die.
