I finally wrapped up My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic five years after the show ended. S9 never arrived on Netflix and I didn't want to watch it on Prime because Jeff Bezos doesn't need any more of my money. Somehow, the last season ended up on YouTube and I binged right away!

Season 8 wasn't my favorite--the school of friendship really felt too much like a Harry Potter fan fiction crossover with ponies but there were some good episodes. Season 9 felt like a mixed bag as well--it's always weird when the writers make the ponies do something out of character and zap years of character growth. Although it lacked the charm and humour of earlier seasons, the villian story arc was pretty good and I was surprised the show actually touched on Daring Do and Dr. Caballeron stealing artifacts while Ahuizotl bemoaned his inability to protect his culture.

The last episode was sweet and satisfying, so that's all I really could ask of the series after so many years :-)

I'm unsure what prompted me to install Chat GPT on my phone the other night, but I'm glad I did. I've been generating some stuff I find pretty hilarious. I always felt AI would be a slippery slope into creative heck which is why I refrained from experimenting with it. It felt like merely testing it would be a sign of endorsement.

It's pretty clear that Chat GPT writes with the wild imagination of a 12 year old who thinks they're worldly but ultimately lack life experience. The writing is mechanical and cliched and after a while it was just quickly returning similar stories with words swapped out, Mad Libs style.

It did, however, take a few minutes to come up with a My Little Pony / Star Trek crossover, so I cleaned it up a bit to share :-)

Title: "A Cosmic Collaboration"

In the vibrant realm of Equestria, where magic and friendship reigned supreme, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna embarked on a relaxing picnic adventure in the heart of the Everfree Forest. With the sun beaming down and the breeze whispering through the trees, they spread out a sumptuous feast, eager to enjoy a moment of respite from their royal responsibilities.

However, their serene afternoon took an unexpected turn! Suddenly, the atmosphere rippled, and before they could react, a swarm of pesky parasprites descended upon them. These creatures were unlike any they had encountered before--multiplying at an astonishing rate and munching on their precious treats.

Celestia and Luna exchanged incredulous glances, realizing that their picnic was rapidly spiraling into chaos. While contemplating their next move, a brilliant light illuminated the surroundings, and a strange vessel materialized before them.

From the vessel emerged the legendary crew of the starship USS Enterprise, led by Captain James T. Kirk, Mr. Spock, and Dr. McCoy. The princesses watched in awe as the interstellar visitors swiftly assessed the situation.

Kirk's charismatic grin lit up the scene. "Well, ladies, looks like you've got quite the pest problem."

Celestia nodded, her expression grateful. "Indeed, Captain. These creatures seem impervious to our magic."

Spock's logical demeanor chimed in. "These parasites appear to be highly adaptive and resistant to conventional methods of eradication."

As the parasprites continued their voracious feast, Celestia and Luna shared a glance, realizing that they might require assistance beyond their realm's magic.

Kirk's eyes sparkled with determination. "Don't you worry, princesses. We've dealt with our fair share of unusual challenges in the cosmos."

With the collaborative efforts of the Starfleet crew and the princesses, a plan was swiftly hatched. Using a combination of Star Trek's advanced technology and Equestria's magical prowess, they created a device that emitted a frequency specifically tailored to deter the parasprites.

As the frequency filled the air, the parasprites squirmed and recoiled, their appetites curbed by the unfamiliar sensation. With a coordinated effort, they managed to drive the pests away, reclaiming their picnic spot from the invasion.

Celestia and Luna exchanged smiles of gratitude with the Star Trek crew. "Thank you, Captain Kirk. Your assistance saved our picnic," Celestia said.

Kirk offered a dramatic salute. "It was our pleasure, princess. After all, in the vast cosmos, friendship knows no bounds."

As the starship USS Enterprise faded into the distance, Celestia and Luna returned to their picnic blanket, the memory of their unlikely encounter etched into their hearts. As they continued to enjoy their feast, they marveled at the serendipitous collaboration between two different worlds – one where friendship and magic thrived, and the other where the vastness of space held its own tales of exploration and unity.

Almost half an hour of My Little Pony songs :-D

Not sure what to think or say, so I'll just leave a screengrab here :-) Apparently the new cartoon is called Pony Life.

I understand that things needs to be kept fresh in the toy world and if you stop moving, the toy line dies...but...this feels like a remake no one asked for!

This has been in the works for a long time for a friend of mine. It felt so good to get it done!

Something neat I found at the antique mall, but didn't buy. She was $10 as is and there's actually a big spot of pony cancer on the leg I'm holding. Apparently pony cancer can spread, so I really didn't want her around, sadly. To be honest, I thought she was a fakie, but she's actually called Princess Royal Purple and from year 9. The eyebrows were badly mashed and fuzzed up, so much so that again I thought it was something someone had glued on for fun. Too bad! According to the MLP Collector group on FB, she may have been a little overpriced for the condition. Click for larger!

The latest My Little Pony FIM episode was accidentally released a few days early because the date in the iTunes store was marked 2011 instead of 2012. Naturally someone figured this out and the episode, "Hearts and Hooves" found its way to YouTube. A cute ep, but it contains one mind-boggling scene - Sweetie Belle gleefully puts the fun in funeral while singing a song! A funeral, and a Catholic one at that, in Ponyville? Weird!! It seems like a nod to something, but I can't quite figure it out...certainly not Father Ted anyway. I can't really think of any pipe smoking priests from popular media...GK Chesterton's Father Brown maybe?
