    First and foremost I want to make a gigantic point about WOE so that evverypony/Brony/Pegasister/or whatever thing you are understands. I LOVE WORLD OF EQUESTRIA! The concept to play in an environment that could possibly be cannon in the show is awesome and it holds so much potential for it that all I can do is teem with Excitement. (However Neo can't ever find an RP that we both agree on.) Plus Time 2.0 has offered a lot of Experimentation on my self as a character My traits, My relationships, my personality, Etc. Truly it is a fantastic place to Roleplay and I would recommend it to almost everypony here. It's got it's greats, it's goods, it's 'Oh my Celestia this is amazing's but it also has it's bad's. I understand it's purpose and I completely know why it's here but I do Like FFA and Crossovers a bit better since I can be Original Me. Let's take my experiments of myself for example. When in an FFA/ Crossover I love being able to use my powers and find an event in which I react a certain way, that I love. I can do that exact same thing as 2.0 in WOE but then I have to remember if that's how I act. Recall that Legacy (Storyline of Destiny, Neo's series on Youtube that doesn't exist yet.) has me using my Time travel powers and has a different personality of Myself. Some things such as Nevermore (My raven.) and Diamond Dust were easy to figure out what I would do with those two in Legacy, but then there's some other things like my admiration for Twilight Sparkle in WOE but in Legacy I hate her. There's also some other things like not being able to play as a Hippogryph. (Who Neo was going to make my Rival.) Though I don't think I've ever seen one in WOE or the show, so I guess that makes sense. Either way I still love World of Equestria and just to prove it we're going to talk about one of the reasons I love it. Let's compare the Three Me's. Beta Time Spinner, Original Recipe, and Time 2.0.
    This is what they try to keep out:

    Beta Time is literally the most OP thing ever. For one in this form I don't have a limit to my Time Travel at all. I can go Forward, Backwards, and Stop Time for whenever I please and their are no dire Problems that happen...Ever! Plus My magic is Better than Twilight's, I'm faster than Rainbow Dash, and more fabulous than Rarity. THIS IS THE DEFINITION OF OVER POWERED! I also don't like wings...that's about it. Oh right, I forgot one other thing, that cutie mark is terrible. Moving on.

    This is Time 2.0 and what WOE houses. Ponies that could be in the show as another Character. I love that this makes sure there aren't any ponies that are OP. This is something that I really enjoy. No being as powerful as the main characters (Unless you play the main characters.), no depression stories, and no 'I'm a traitor to my own kind' type of pony. The only down side to this for me is that I like the options of the depression stories. Neo and I love to read and if the story can vary from an 'all smiles' that is awesome! Though the pony would have to have scars of the story. See in the Legacy story I grew up in the Discordian era, where Discord rule. I also couldn't save my best Friend and she died. (I was also in love with her.) Now I've technically had three years to get over yet I still will have repercussions of it. I distance myself from others, (With the exception of Gadget.) I have emotional break downs at times, I can sometimes suffer from Culture shock, the list goes on. While in some of the cannon RP's now, I have gotten over this (For now) but if a pony has a certain story their personality should reflect this and with the world of Equestria staff I think they do a good job as no pony seems to be Depressed for no reason, or really happy after they lost their entire Family. Now this brings us too...

    Ah, me in the fullest extent. I have powers that others don't but they are turned down. I can only Stop time for 12 seconds or Deity takes over. I can only do it once a day and after I do it almost all of my magic is down. Techinically in Destiny I have to learn how to do up to Twelve Seconds, before than the max is Two seconds. The point is that after the spell is cast I can't do much as a unicorn after, and I also have no strength so can't use that. This version of me is my favorite because it shows there's a secret but If I use it something bad could happen. I do understand why I can't be me in WOE. (Besides when would I need to stop time there?) I am glad that WOE did help turn Beta Me. Just remember that if you think the rules of WOE are too much, they're there for a reason. Otherwise we'd all be Alicorns with the powers of Discord.


    Sincerely,



    Time Spinner

    (Warning: May contain spoilers!)
    We've survived my friends! All things are right in this world now. No longer will we have to feed on breadcrumbs and headcannons, now we feast on episodes and very fragrant sparkling grape soda. Now in preparation for this, I say we take a look at this episode, analyze it for what it's worth, and figure out the true meaning of christmas...I mean the true meaning of season 4.
    I'm glad that the intro changed. While the song is still the same, and in the beginning Twilight is still a unicorn, it's nice to see some of the other charaters get recognition, like the CMC, Luna, and Mayor Mare. It also makes me believe that this season may focus more on the mane 6's interactions with other characters, and that's pretty cool. I'd love to see more of that. Especially with characters who we know already exist but they seem to just be there.
    I'm glad that we at least got some recognition on Twilight's flight abilities. It's good to know that we still have a chance for Rainbow Dash to teach Twilight how to fly still. Granted it looks like she already is, but maybe throughout the season, Twilight will get better at flying and become a good flyer. Though she didn't seem to have that much trouble with flying at the end of season 3...
    It's really interesting to see Equestria in the past. Especially the old castle. I think it's safe to say that we've seen that castle before (Season 1 episode 2) and we'll see it in the close future (Season 4 episode 3). It's also my theory that Twilight will be given a renovated version of the castle of the two sisters so she can stay in Ponyville with her friends while still being a ruler. It might not happen but it would be interesting.
    Seeing Discord again was really fun. I'm glad that he got to come back, and while I wish he showed up more and would have, say; gone into the forest with them. It's nice that he got the screen time he deserved. It's also nice to see a callback to Keep calm and flutter on, which happens to be in my top ten episodes to watch. I'm also glad that Zecora showed up. She was really nice to see again, and she provided the potion for Twilight to change. However...I want to bring up something. This 'alicorn' magic didn't really seem like alicorn magic. In fact right after the episode I went and watched the season 3 premiere again. The dark magic that Celestia, Twilight, and Sombra use in those episodes is the alicorn magic. I plan to make a theory out of it for my youtube channel soon, but for now I don't really have anything. They are connected though, I know that.
    The tree of harmony is interesting...I didn't expect to find the origins of the elements of harmony, nor did I expect the elements to be taken away. Not only does that make me a little sad, but it also caused one of the biggest mysteries of the show since Star Swirl the bearded's journal in the crystal empire. That mystery is...
    The lock of harmony. Now it's obvious that with six locks, and six keys, it's going to be from the mane 6. Now this could mean a variety of things. I theorize that throughout the season, the mane six will accomplish very big things in their lives, maybe even be tested on what they know about friendship, or about their element. When they are successful in their test, they will get their key and when all the keys are together; something will happen. I don't know what that something is, but it's something. It's also possible that the keys will be gained throughout the next few seasons, or may be gained from ponies outside the mane 6 but it's more than likely about them.
    Now for the bad:
    The villain is absolutely ridiculous. The everfree forest? Really? I mean it's better than Nightmare Moon, or another sombra, but did they really make it the everfree forest? I mean one could say that it actually was Discord, since he planted the chaos seeds in the first place for them to cause this conundrum to happen, but it really wasn't him since he was trying to help. I think it would have been better if it was maybe the nightmare forces, or some evil species, or something else, but the everfree forest?
    Well, since the Everfree forest is now I Villian, I shall app him/her as a character in Canterlot Chronicles!
    All jokes aside, I'm also a bit confused about the way some of the characters handled things. I mean we know Applejack is smarter than the way she acted in this episode, yet she assumed the plants were weeds? Why did unicorn magic go on the fritz? I mean is that ever explained? It clearly wasn't a problem in Canterlot, so did you have to be close enough to ponyville to get it?
    Now other than that...I don't really have a problem with these episodes. In fact I really like these two and they may beat my favorite episodes of all time, which is the return of the elements of harmony. In fact I think it's safe to say that they are my favorite episodes so far. They were well written, fairly humorous, gave great callbacks, introduced us to quite the puzzle, and raised my hopes for season 4 immensely. This was amazing. With everything considered, this episode gets my reviewer rating of: 9.5! Now I await episode 3. This has been Neo Reviews, thanks for reading!

    Really? I leave you guys alone fore Five minutes and you make an Over meme? Well Sombra, let's just tell saber spark and get this on Brony Breakdown! No but seriously I was going to help Neo with a review of Winter wrap up because he doesn't like to have two blog entries on the front page (He's a try hard.) But then you guys go and make an Over meme and cause all of this hullabaloo. So how did this become a meme? I know mojo wrote an Entry that said it's over and then Quciklime said it's far from Over and then Steel eagle wrote an entry that made me contemplate my whole life (Thanks Steel, you don't make a pony think about there life!) After that it's blank. I guess Imagination wrote Over and out then Bellosh wrote It it over yet then Halide/vegata wrote IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and then I guess sonic rainboom girl wrote I know it's over. WHEN DID THIS BECOME A MEME! DOESN'T IT HAVE TO LIVE LONGER THAN THIS TO BE A MEME! I CALL OBJECTION!



    Sincerely,

    I've been waiting to announce this for the longest time. It is with deepest apologies and sincerest regret that I announce that I will no longer be reviewing episodes of My little pony Friendship is magic. Now this doesn't mean that this blog is going to be thrown into the garbage can, far from it, in fact there's going to be a lot more of it around!
    Something that I really enjoyed, was reviewing turnabout storm, and I never felt anything like it when I reviewed the official episodes. However, to try and re-capture this moment, I will now begin reviewing fan-content. This will require a bit off tweaking with my normal way of reviewing things, but all in all, I will still be reviewing. So expect a review of some type of fan-content this friday, or next week. I'll review anything, except for fanfics, which I may do at a later date. I can't wait to get started!

    Has anyone seen Time Spinner? I've been looking all over and I can't find him...oh well...let's go do this review, he probably got lost in the internet aether. (Where I live.)
    The Show Stoppers is a nice episode that you can either love or hate. It's one of those episodes that I do enjoy though. The story goes like this:
    The cutie mark crusaders are finding their cutie marks, and establishing a tree house that will become it's own landmark, after a few comical failures Twilight (and cherilee) suggest entering a talent show, which can only end in queen and failure.
    I like the stories flow, it's very connected and well thought out, even for a CMC episode. It has that flavour of care put into it and it really seems to show. My favorite part might just be talent show's song. The references and animations were very charming.
    The animation throughout the episode was pretty good. It had a few times where it could have been better but it was alright now.
    Characters are pretty believable. Nothing bad about them so nothing to really say.
    Voice acting for the CMC was...wow. Knocked by imaginary socks off my feet. Very well done.
    The CMC theme is a song, so I should review it but...it's also a joke song. So...what do I do? For a joke song it was pretty good and got me to laugh at a few parts.
    The conversations just kept coming and some of them were pretty good. Nice job Script writing team!
    The episode is pretty good for a season 1 episode, still not my favorite but it was pretty good. One I would recommend a non-brony watch. (If they knew who the CMC were by now.) So with all of this in mind I give this episode my reviewer rating of 7.9. Just a little more work and...and...I'm sorry but am I getting bad at this? It's just...everytime I review something it makes me feel depressed, like I'm failing and not doing a good job. It's not just reviews either, I feel like I've lost my touch in RPing. I just don't feel that same spark I did when I RPed for the first time. Ever since the academy chapter 3 ended, I've not felt that same way...maybe I should just...maybe it's time I...

    (This is a joke)
    Once upon a time, there was a band of pirates! A crazy group made from a bunch of users here. There was QuickLime, BrambleRose, Bellosh, Steeleagle, and Dio! There used to be Rosewind, but I think they locked her in a treasure chest with a bunch of really bad cupcakes that imagination made, also he was there too. Finally they all sailed aboard the S.S. Raridash, a ship with a lot of promise and with a lot of evidence to prove that it was a great thing!
    However the crew members had some very odd quirks. The leader of the crew, Dio, wanted to live forever. Bellosh had an odd fascination with evil, albeit fashionable, hats. QuickLime enjoyed taking these hats from Bellosh and hiding them all over the ship, for him to find three months later. Bramblerose loved to eat Imagination's cupcakes, even though everyone else thought they tasted like worms. Imagination had a back room on the ship that no one else went into. I mean I assume that's where he kept his wood working stuff because at random times in the night you could hear a chainsaw in there, then some screaming, and then silence. Steeleagle believed in spontaneous combustion because unlike those so called "scientists" Steel knew the truth.
    Anywho the band learned of an ancient relic known as the chest of Rosie wind, a chest full of glorious items so unique and mind blowing, your face would implode upon setting your eyes on it. So obviously the pirates went after it. They ventured all over the land looking for any sign of it, and meeting some interesting fellows. Like a robot-man who only wanted to love, a naughty Gazelle who was queen of a city for a bit, some random guy who told really weird stories, a lady with witch powers, and of course, The duke of cinnia-bon.
    After searching for so long, they came across a town of talking muffins, who gave them the chest, which they took back to the S.S. Raridash crew. They opened the box and what do they find? Nothing, because the destination wasn't the treasure but the journey, the people the met and helped, that was the trea- just kidding they found Rosewind in the box. They stood around, slightly confused for a second and opened the other treasure chest, and what did they find? Rosewind. So for a matter of three seconds there were two Rosewinds in the world. Then a tsunami came and the Rariddash ship sank. That was the end of the S.S. Raridash, oh and then it exploded and came back as the U.S.S Rarity. Then everyone exploded.
    The End.

    "It was a busy night in ponyville, foals went door-to-door getting candy from folks, many ponies held events that other ponies would go to and enjoy, and there was a nice peace in the air. Yet...something didn't feel right. As I walked along, loving my visit from my friend, Aselia, I found that there was some masked tension in the air, and after joining what I believed to be Princess Twilight Sparkles' haunted house, I learned the horrifying truth, I was right. The Changelings had invaded the city of Ponyville, capturing many of it's citizens and parading around as them. They tricked us into doing horrible things, I was forced to partake in an illusion where my emotions would become sweets for the changelings to enjoy. I was forced to fight against my own friends, in order to live, and it took the power of many ponies, including my own will and wits, to survive. The scars will never heal, and I don't know when the nightmare's will stop, but I thank Celestia that my family, and I survived. If I had lost my brother or my sister...I fear to even think what I might do." -The diary of Time Spinner.
    You know what nightmare night shows is that somehow we can all get together and roleplay in a happy and joyful setting with no violence at all, and then the roleplay team can show up, take that happiness, beat it with sticks, and throw it off a cliff. Then they give us changelings and tell us to have fun. Which I did, by the way. Nightmare Night, at least to me, was a success and I loved every minute of it. There are things that could use a bit of tweaking here or there but perfect is over rated and I think the problems it does have are charming. Events like these are the reason I want to be on the event staff, it looked like so much fun to make and sponsor.
    So we'll start with the good, because it's the longest.
    Having a story like this, that affect threads all around is probably my favorite here. The fact that changelings drop upon us and causes the entire focus of the roleplay to change is very nice. I think it helps to the story that none of us knew so it was easier to convey feelings of surprise this way. However I do know that some users wished they could have used a notice that this was going to happen and that's fine. Maybe it would have helped to give a bit of notice. I for one think that the surprise was very nice, I loved not getting to know about this.
    The combat in the threads were very good to me. Not only did I like the way my characters fought back, but they were well written and it seemed like my characters could really work in there situations. I want to give an example just for show.
    Time Spinner was in Twilight's Terror Time. There we were put under an illusion to fight each other and feed the changeling with our emotions. Many characters went ahead with this, but Time Spinner didn't. See, Time is a thinker, he's not strong, he's not magically gifted, and he's not sneaky. This thread allowed the revised Time Spinner to do a lot of good. Since Time Spinner is a historian, he has to know as much as he can about everything. Luckily he knows about magic. Right when tentacles started to attack him, he learned that this was an illusion and he was able to fight back, not with strength but with intelligence. Eventually he even gave up on everything and started meditating to stop feeding the changeling because he didn't want to feed her anymore.
    It's things like these that really make characters I use to feel useful throughout the whole rp. However there were problems with Combat, and I'm going to explain those later.
    Now something that is similar to the story but I still loved is the connection. We were all connected due to the fact that we were in ponyville and that was interesting. Something that I wanted to see, that I hope perhaps the event staff will look into is the crossroads effect. For an example we're going to use obstacle course and terror time. So let's say in Obstacle course the cave took us down below ponyville and as we kept going we find ourselves directly under Twilight's house. Since the ponies are in Twilight's basement the two groups are very close but they don't ever cross each other's paths. Instead something that one does could cause something else to happen in the other. For example one of the ponies in the cave screams because they get scared. The scream gets loud enough that even the ponies upstairs hear it and because of this they each think they hear someone in their nightmare, so they have to react to it. This would cause interesting changes to the RP, so I think it might be a good suggestion.
    I loved how each thread was similar and yet different. The changelings did things that were similar to what the mane six would do, but they still acted out a bit, this made somethings noticeably different that anyone who has met the mane 6 before would think is odd. The only one who I think didn't act strange was rainbow dash. Minus the changeling cavern there was nothing that seemed different about her and I almost thought that when the changelings hit, Dashie would help us fight them off. Twilight was different since she threw us into the nightmare. Fluttershy acted different, not only with participating in Nightmare Night but also because she acted odd towards the cage of "Animals." Rarity gave some pretty odd remarks during the fashion show, and Applejack seemed really weird during her hayride. The only ones who seemed normal for their characters were Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow dash, but I didn't read all of Pinkie Pie's thread (Sorry Rosie.) so I don't know if she did act strange. (For her anyway.)
    The costumes for each character were pretty cool, and seemed to match their personality, this includes OC's. However some didn't match them on purpose and that did add to the charm of the event.
    I also enjoyed the crossing of Canterlot Chronicles and World of Equestria. Especially since Aselia was a really good character to play in this situation. I certainly enjoyed this version of the cross between RP types then the last one. I would love to see more of this.
    I could go on but due to the sake of this post, I'm just going to move on to some of the bads, but I only find two
    I am well aware that there was an OP problem that occurred. Now this can be a problem. I have seen countless times on all three of my roleplay sites. Now the only thing we can actually do to fix it is tell the person god-modding that they are doing that. Its helped with me, and its helped with others I've seen. A way to help prevent it is by writing down a set of skills that they can use, that goes along with their lore. However this can be a bit of a problem because sometimes you don't know if a power is too powerful. I'm getting side-tracked though. Combat could use an improvement and in fact a few ideas crossed my mind, such as using a dice roller. However most of my ideas were either too difficult to use, weren't possible, or were too complicated for me, and I don't want to suggest something I don't know how to use.
    I also found a problem with combat. Now we're going to use my four characters that really did things in the event, those being Time Spinner, Aselia, Octavia, and Gadget.
    The girls were the easy ones:
    Aselia was built with combat in mind, and because of this she didn't have that much difficulty to do battle. So she was already done.
    Octavia's costume was a book that was basically a ponified version of assassin's creed, so most of her weapons were bows and her own hooves. Though she didn't get into much combat.
    Then there were the guys:
    Time Spinner was easy, because he wasn't really in combat. He was placed in an illusion where all he had to was get slapped with a fish. (By the way, that needs to be a thing from now on.)
    Gadget was the one with the most difficulty, his wing was injured during the RP so he couldn't do anything with flight, he wasn't a unicorn so he could use magic, and he wasn't really a strength character. In his Canterlot Chronicles app he will be using his gadgets as weapons, but for this RP I found it to be a bit of rubbish for him to do that. (Huh, never used a British word before.) Most of his combat in the RP was moving things, including a knocked out Flash Sentry, a crowbar, and a cage.
    Now maybe others found other problems but this review is from my experiences and I didn't find many problems in my adventures. (Well none from others, I probably caused a bunch of problems at the start with my two characters in a thread a first and my misreading of some of the other posts.)
    So then, we come down with tons of really good things in this event and a few bad. Now like I said, I really like Nightmare Night, it was fun, creative, interesting, and very nicely done. I made me want to be on the event team and I tip my hat to you all. (Whoever you all are.) Now then, it needs a bit of work, but its far from being bad, really far off. So now, with everything that I can come up with, with all of my experiences laid on the table, and almost all of the roleplays finished, I give the Canterlot event: Nightmare Night 2013, my reviewer rating of 9/10. I can't wait to see more from you guys. This has been Neo Reviews, thanks for reading.

    Hello there! Welcome to Open an OC, where I'm going to talk about how to make OC's and things that have to do with OC's. This episode we're going to talk about the types of OC's. Well cover what exactly each character means and what you really have to do with them later. Let's begin.
    The Logo OC

    Meet NeoExlucky, an OC from the fandom of reality. What is his purpose? To stand there and look pretty. That's it. Logo OC's don't really have a purpose, their just a character you create to represent something. The Rules to a Logo OC are that they just have to exist and be drawn. You don't even have to name them or do anything else with them after that. Best (or worse) of it all is that their looks don't even really matter. For example another Logo character is Philsterman10's OC.

    Why does his look not matter? Well he's an Alicorn OC, but no one cares. That's really what a Logo OC does. They stand there, look pretty, and do nothing else. Now they don't always have to be just that, for example the third type of OC could also be a logo Character.
    Mind Character

    A mind character is a character you create with your own cannon and with whatever you want. They could if you wanted, be used in roleplay but the only thing stopping them is the cannon and you. You need to know everything about a mind character from what their favorite cereal is to their favorite voice actor. This is rider, My vocaloid OC. He's in love with Hatsune Miku, both his parents work at Nintendo, he's a 15 years Old, etc. Every character was at one point a mind character. Mind characters normally are just a few steps away from being our third type of character.
    Fan Character

    [colour=#000000]The best of all the characters, a fan character is a character you know everything about and have done something with, you made a Fanfiction with them, did a roleplay, whatever! You know everything about them and hopefully you haven't made a character everyone hates. This is a Fan character. Time Spinner is this example and he's great at what he does, he's also one of my logo's as a representation of me and was also once a mind character, but I don't like to talk about that. Time Spinner's been there since the beginning an I've never looked back. This is a character that everyone should have. Maybe even make up how each character knows each other and so on. I actually have a tie in for all of my characters and how they all tie in together but we'll talk about that at another time.[/colour]

    (Warning you are about to read a post written by a pony named Time Spinner. This is Important. XD)
    Okay so it's safe to say that hasbro has had some disappointing moments in the history of Mlp. I don't want to do this after the show is over because if that happens I might be dead so...that's disappointing...anyways, We're going to talk about a few that strike out to me the most. So let's start.
    Derpy- Sigh...as a pony it's really hard to see another pony fall into such problems. Derpy was truly a sad moment for the bronies and I remember the Neo being kind of angry and sad at the same time when she didn't show up in an episode. This also happened after the voice change and censorship. Derpy was a great character and I side with pro-derpy side on this. In what way was derpy offensive? I know that some descriptions say that it says something else but Derpy always meant to me the mistakes and times we messed up and the moment when you just smile and say 'I'll try again tomorrow.' I know that's been said but It's kinda true for me.
    Crystal empire/Cadence: On the plus side, we got shining armor and we got some great songs. (Favorite is failure song and this day aria.) On the down side, we get this kingdom noponies heard of, The OC of sauron, and we got cadence. While Cadence is okay the one question in my mind is why? We have Celestia who raises the sun and Luna who raises the moon so what does cadence actually do? I like Cadence but I think we could have gone into more detail with her...Maybe tell us she controls love or something. I don't know, I'm just a unicorn. Either way I think Cadence needs a bit more work as would Sombra if he wasn't dead...I think.
    Ali Twi: For so long Bronies either hated the concept, loved it, or didn't care. What did I think? I was on the fence. On the one hoof this could lead to a few cool episodes like maybe Rainbow dash teaching Twi how to fly. (Dang you ending scene in mlp!) Possibly even some episodes of making Time for friends. You can tell Cadence was for the pink celestia's but what about Alicorn Twilight? I've yet to figure out if this was lauren faust's plan or if it was hasbros...Neo is rewatching the series and will probably do some type of review or whatever somewhere else but as far as we've seen in season 1 it looks like things she would need to know in order to become a princess but...I'm kind of confused...Let's move on.
    Fighting is magic: WHAT THE HAY HASBRO! THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A GREAT GAME AND YOU GO AND CANCEL IT! WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    ahem. Anyways I'm a little upset at this. The game would have been great and the music and demos looked amazing. I would have loved to beat Neo at this. Many other bronies have acted like this and a few have acted like it was nothing but...I want it. I really liked it's ma- oh wait nevermind. Anyway We should change the subject before I explode.
    Overall Hasbro could Have turned out worse and Some of their decisions made Mlp better...right? Nothing too bad happened...Except maybe Alitwi...and FIGHTING IS MAGIC. RAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! oh and derpy...


    Sincerly,



    Time Spinner

    Hey there Everybody, Neo here! Time Spinner's sick so I said I'd take over and boy is this one big! This is a thank you to everybody who helped me in my RolePlay life. This was done in a random order and the amount of people is large so if I miss you I'm so sorry! I know that as time goes on their might be more people to thank so if I miss you here, you'll probably be in the next one. So let's get started.
    QuickLime is someone who has helped me almost since the beginning. She helped me with my first App of Time Spinner in Crossovers and ever since I have been a fan. From creating characters to the blogs that she writes, she always does something that I never regret reading. She also inspired me to write this article and is someone I look up to in the community. We both share the fact that both our usernames have two Capital letters in them. She always loves to help others and is really good at it. It's something I would love to do in the community. Plus one of my favorite animals is a raven which she's the queen of.
    StarSwirl is next on the list. Starswirl helped with the creation of Time 2.0 and never once got frustrated. He loves science (Like I do.) and is someone who I know if I ever have a question about the community I can ask him. Star Swirl caught on to the Samurai Jack references that are in Time's Backstory that no one else brought up. He's really good at what he does and his avatar picture always makes me laugh.
    StarStorm also helped with Time 2.0 and is someone I have roleplayed with. Her characters or scamps as she calls them have always been very good and even provided a Love interest for my character: Pocket Watch, despite all the love triangles going on in the RP. It was also one of my favorites though Left Behind was never finished.
    Rosewind is someone that I'm sure has no idea who I am but I'm thanking anyways. She's always doing so much for us and is the admin I see all the time, everywhere I go. She's also I hear a really good friend and seems like someone I would love to RP with but she might get frustrated with a newbie like me.
    QueenChrysalis747 is someone I've roleplayed with for a long time. He does a really good job as Chrysalis or Liesha in our latest RP. I love the character and he's not bad at Roleplaying either. All through out our time he taught me about redemption of characters, something I may decide to use in my next RP. If I remember correctly he also took part in my first RP Hearts and hooves day.
    Quillhart was a user who I don't know the fate of. He also took part in Hearts and hooves day but I don't know if he is still on Canterlot anymore. I haven't heard from him in a while but he did get me to start on my youtube channel and I will never regret it.
    Lovinity is someone who is supposed to be lower on the list but I put her up here since I also don't know her fate. She may be somehwhere else but I have not seen her in a while. She made Hearts and hooves day and if it wasn't for that RP I may not have been on Canterlot for as long as I have been.
    Saronyx is a newcomer to my group of thanks that I wasn't sure would make it but his portrayal of Shimmer and Velocity were simply outstanding, and according to the legacy timeline, Time Spinner is engaged to Shimmer. He did a very good job with these characters and I think I can call him a friend out of this group of misfits we are!
    I couldn't forget my friend Frosty, the artist of my Profile pic and a great person I have known. Whether she's going through hard times or not she is an amazing friend and I enjoy RPing with her, she's also the voice actor for Swift Blitz!
    ShadowBolt is another friend of mine who does a really good job RPing and voice acting. While being the voice of Deity he is also a good friend of mine and has an amazing accent. He is someone who helped me a lot with Destiny, which still has not been released...I need to find more voice actors...
    |||D3LTA||| is one more that has done a lot. Whether he's RPing as the artist Silver Star or as the photographer of the wonderbolts, Angelsnapp, he does a really good of it. He's someone who has done a lot and has been their since the beginning.
    FrostFauna is another one who did a really good job of all the cutie marks in the heroes of the legacy bar below, except Time's. He is a good friend of mine and the only other one besides Frosty to give me a cutie mark. Actually he gave me 3 of them! He's a great artist of Cutie Marks.
    Now the last one wasn't on the randomizer, I decided to save him for the end because I really do think he's a good friend, probably the best friend I've had here on Canterlot. His name is Daboom444. While also being their form the beginning of Hearts and hooves day he also is a sweet roleplayer and was the first person to tell me that I was doing this whole Roleplaying thing right. He's made the academy series which tugged the Legacy storyline right along and caused a lot of good things to happen. He's a great RolePlayer and is one of the best people I've met here, though your all great.
    These are the people I have to thank but I'm not done yet. You, yes you reading this I also have to thank. If you weren't reading this then I don;t know if any of this would happen. It's because people see and enjoy my work that cause me to write these things and it's because of you guys that I can do this. Thank you.


    Sincerely,



    Not Time Spinner but close Enough, NeoExlucky

    (Waring you are about to read a post written by the pony; Time Spinner. This is important! XD)
    Huh it's been a while. Sorry guys, Neo's been wanting my help with the reviews and then we got sidetracked into another Dimension and it was just really weird. Anyways I'm here to talk about Equestria girls. Now what do I think might happen here? Well I think it might be a good thing. Let me explain.
    Equestria girls is basically the girls as humans in an earth-like or maybe even actual earth setting. Now this could go a multitude of ways. It could be just the characters if Equestria was full of humans, or it could be the mane 6 get sent to earth. (My Favorite being the latter.) If it is the second one this could be a very good show and indeed might be an addition to bronies. However even if the first option is chosen it could still be really good. Imagine Lyra as a human 0.0. This might be a good show. The show itself might be something that the brony community could survive on if the real show ever dies. (Hopefully it doesn't or I die too then. D:) I personally would like to see the girls come join the fun here on earth as I think it could be really fun. While it does seem to have the look of some type of fanfic or perhaps something of that sort I've read really good fanfics before. (Of course none of the good ones were written by Neo.) I know Neo and I are going to give it a chance as it might work upon building the characters a bit more than the main show does. The characters Kind of look cool and maybe the picture used as the Entry image is just beta for other things. I have seen the other picture and I noticed Unicorns don't have horns but the pegasi and alicorn have wings. This is a bit interesting but I wonder if they will have either hide the wings or if all humans have wings in this series. The show will be interesting and I would recommend you to watch the first episode. I mean all of you watched a show made for little girls and now you're all here. (This goes for you too Neo!)
    Anyway Let me check the internet for anything I have missed. Let's see friendship is witchcraft, marshal lee, legend of korra, and...DOUBLE RAINBOOM! Sorry I have to go.


    Sincerely,



    Time Spinner

    Hello weary traveler, why don't you sit around my comforting campfire, I'll spin you a tale from my collection of odd stories and offer you some hot chocolate as we begin. Now then are you all settled? Are you comfortable with where you sitting? If not take a chance to get comfy, and we can begin. Now let's see...what story do I pick...Ah, let's talk about the internet aether. Now the internet aether is an enchanting story that can get a bit complicated, so keep your wits about you. Now then, let's begin.
    A long time ago, about one and a half years, there was a boy. His name was NeoExlucky. NeoExlucky was fairly interesting boy, with too much time on his hands and an odd obsession with writing stories. He enjoyed the works of many authors and once had a dream of becoming one. Alas he lost his desire to become a writer and instead focused on other things in life. However one thing seemed to spark his creativity, something so odd that he had to keep it hidden that he watched this from judging eyes. This thing was My Little Pony. Now due to the nature of this site, I'm sure that doesn't seem so strange to you. After all for you to be here says much of your tales and experiences. Anyways, NeoExlucky had always found creativity when watching the show, he found many interesting bits of information that he felt he could expand upon. This started a series of unpublished tales and the creation of a character that would cause some problems for him. NeoExlucky soon invented a character inside of his mind that starred in many of his stories. This character's name changed a lot during this time, along with several other features and traits about him but this character would soon be known as Time Spinner. NeoExlucky's stories started to be fairly reasonable but began to get odder with every tale he finished. Eventually he had a series of stories to tell and he wanted a way to share it with others who enjoyed My Little Pony. So he found Fimfiction, a website where anyone could post stories about anything and this was where NeoExlucky posted his story called My Little OC: Time Spinner. He was very proud of this story, in his mind he thought that everything about it was perfect. In reality though, it was one of the worst stories he had ever written. It was met with mockery and scorn from the eyes he once thought were un-judging. He became very upset with the reviews his story got and he deleted the story off of FIMfiction and trashed Time Spinner. He was furious, blaming the character for his mistakes and problems in the story. Every piece of evidence that Time Spinner ever existed was deleted from his computer, and NeoExlucky hoped to never see anything about him again.
    Over the course of three weeks, his emotions changed from anger to sadness as when he deleted Time Spinner, he deleted a piece of himself. Time Spinner held a piece of him, much larger than that of any character he has now, with two exceptions but we'll get there soon. NeoExlucky didn't know what to do with himself, he wanted to bring Time Spinner back but everything about him was deleted. One would think that NeoExlucky would remember those things but he suffered from terrible memory and only remembered bits and pieces of things. If he was to bring Time Spinner back, it would be a new one, in a place he hoped no one would know who he was. Of course he didn't know where that was, or where to find anything like that.
    NeoExlucky had all but given up on Time Spinner, picking up the pieces he had from his memory and trying to flesh out more detail in him. At one point he came across something magical, the pony generator. To actually see his character was a true gift for him, as he had only written down details of what Time Spinner looked like. He got to work, and quickly picked up how to use the pony generator. In no time at all he had created the Alicorn, Time Spinner. He looked at his character with a happy smile, glad to see something so great...until he decided that the wings might be a problem. NeoExlucky had read stories of Alicorn characters that were met with bad reviews, and it was through this fear that NeoExlucky dropped the wings. Time Spinner was finished. NeoExlucky used a snipping tool to cut Time Spinner out and edit him a bit in Paint, when a strange message came up, like an error message. This message was different though, it asked him "Do you want to join the internet aether?" This strange sort of made him ponder what it could have been. Maybe it was some virus or maybe the computer was just acting up. Still the internet aether seemed like an interesting place and it was with a click of the mouse that brought this whole story into proportion. As NeoExlucky clicked yes, something happened with a large TV he kept in his room. It didn't work, it wasn't even brought in, but it started to flicker and lights started to appear in a swirling motion over the screen. It got brighter and brighter until Plop, a grey unicorn, with a wine red mane and black glasses fell out of the screen. It stood still for a few minutes before it got up and looked around at the unkempt room, then to NeoExlucky, who proceeded to scream in astonisment.
    "Who- who are you?" NeoExlucky asked.
    "My name is Time Spinner, I'm your character, Celetisa your room's a mess. Seriously you should take better care of your things." The unicorn scolded.
    "Wha-how...what!?"
    Time Spinner merely rolled his eyes. "You joined the internet aether, when you do that you need a character to use from there. That's me."
    "Bu-...why?"
    So Time Spinner told him the ways of the internet aether, how only other internet aether users could see his character, how there was an internet aether room where he could create more characters, and that he could explore the internet when he was inside the aether. One of the best things was his watch. Most internet aether users had some type of object from aether to use with his or her characters, and NeoExlucky's was a watch. While wearing the watch, NeoExlucky could snap his fingers and say the name of a character to let that character's powers flow into him. He could utilize the magic Time Spinner had, but he also had to deal with having the personality, the restrictions, and the responsibilities of Time Spinner. This was only one of the blessings of being a user of the Internet aether, while he was exploring, NeoExlucky found a golden city known as Canterlot, where other internet aether users met with their characters to interact with one another.
    Through this city, NeoExlucky created a vast list of characters, from villains to siblings and everything in between. He even found other cities like it where he created other character from other franchises. Places like the wikia city and Realms of Hyrule. While he created interesting characters, none of them really had much of an interesting character story, and none of them were as close to NeoExlucky as Time Spinner was. That is until Aselia was created. Now there is another user on this site name QuickLime, who wanted to start a band of pirates for the new roleplay type: Canterlot Chronicles. When NeoExlucky found this he quickly got to work on a version of Time Spinner for this but soon it changed to a new charater named Aselia. Aselia changed just as much as Time Spinner did. She started out as a thief and changed into a scholar with a knack for potion making and though Aselia never made it as a pirate, NeoExlucky felt very close to Aselia. He worked very hard on her and he loved the character he created. She was similar to Time Spinner by being a smart unicorn but she had a bit of sass to her and her story was not as...boring as Time Spinner's. She become one of the lead characters in NeoExlucky's arsenal of characters and developed a sibling bond with Time Spinnner.
    Then there came the most recent character into NeoExlucky's possession, Octavia Melody. After an attempt at a certain cast character, NeoExlucky was wanted to try for a new character who was part of the cast, and after a long time of angst, worry, anxiety, and excitement, Octavia was given to NeoExlucky. She was an interesting character in the fact that she was always Prim and Proper. Time Spinner, held such an odd personality and Aselia held a sassy genius personality that this was a bit of a change, but one that NeoExlucky was glad to have. With all of these characters NeoExlucky created a group called the leading three, the leaders of his characters, Octavia lead the World of Equestria characters, Aselia lead the Canterlot Chronicles characters, and Time Spinner lead the Free for all characters. These were his favorite characters he had ever had a hand in creating and with all of these things that had happened to him, he was glad that he had failed in writing stories, for if he hadn't he may never have found Canterlot or gotten any of these characters.
    So you see traveler, the internet aether is a very confusing place, but when it comes to you, it can lead you to magical places filled with adventure and experiences just ripe for the picking. You must be the one to take the first step into it and when you come to the ledge of adventure, do not be afraid to leap. Thank you for reading this story, we hope to see you again here in story time with Neo. Have a good evening.

    (Warning: The following review contains words written in character to an on going problem here at Neo's internet house. The words of Time Spinner are written in this manner however the words of Change Swipe are written as Neo's true thoughts. Enjoy...)
    Warning, the following review is about a stupid problem that doesn't even make any sense with characters that seem incredibly annoying and a stupid, lady gaga knock-off!
    Time Spinner, that's a horrible thing to say. Come on the episode wasn't that bad. It was actually pretty good.
    Just what was so good about it?
    You know what? Let's just review.
    Now in this episode Rarity has a dress that she is making to show for a client named Photo Finish, a famous pony who knows about fashion...I guess. Rarity 'hires' Fluttershy at the last minute and Photo pays all of her attention, not to the dress but to Fluttershy. She takes Fluttershy and makes her a star while Rarity begins to get jealous of her.
    The storyline is...well it's okay. Part of it makes sense but for the most part I don't really care for it. I mean yeah it's good for getting us from one place to the next but I don't think it's a highlight of the episode.
    Plus it's stupid. The show was still being made for little girls at this time. right? So how would anyone be able to relate to making a dress and having their best friend become famous?
    "I don't think that was point..."
    The animation was also okay. Fluttershy walking down the catwalk for the last time in the episode sure was...interesting. However nothing else really made me go "Wow, that was pretty cool!"
    Pinkie pie jumping out of random things really upset me. Wouldn't it be better if it was like NOT A PONY?
    Rarity and Fluttershy are both shown to be really good friends in this episode. In fact I'd say they have the closest relationship we've seen so far in these reviews. We learn a lot about Fluttershy's kindness, her anger, and her shyness that we already knew about. We learn about Rarity's jealousy in this episode too and we learn that Fluttershy and Rarity go to the spa together once a week.
    All of these could have been skipped over and no one would care. Besides everyone knows the best ship is...
    Yes?
    I mean...Ships are stupid in this show, why would anyone ship anypony together. Further more when I ship it's better. I put a pony in a box, tape it up, and mail it to china. That's how you ship.
    Dialogue and voice acting are very good in this episode and dare I say it, it's the best part of this episode.
    It's terrible.
    Time did you like any part of this episode at all?
    ...Yes...Fluttershy is very adorable...but it's only in this episode, none of the others...
    I feel if you want to show someone the ponies and introduce them to the show, don't start with this episode, but do make it one of the first to watch. With everything in this episode it's really hard to dislike but I don't think it's enough to make it the best episode of Season 1. This episode gets an 8/10. Needs a hint of work, a teaspoon of sugar, and a dash of rainbows to make it better but it's still one of my personal favorites, still not my total favorite though.
    Can we go now? This internet Aether is starting to make me dizzy and I don't like it.
    You don't like Spinning, Time SPINNER?
    (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ I'm done...
    Time, wait! Oh uh...┬─┬ ノ( ゜-゜ノ) Don't leave me behind!
  14. NeoExlucky
    *Notices people doing reviews on canterlot.* Oh...I guess I'd better write my review. After all I am the king of reviews! (Only because I had no competition when I first started...)
    So; bats! Not only did this start a brand new meme for the fan base, but now we also have a new "species" that some new RPers might actually try to put in World of Equestria, even though that won't fly...no pun intended. Now I said in my power ponies review that the momentum for season 4 finally stopped, and this episode doesn't exactly bring it back, it's a very good start and this episode isn't bad, but I still don't like it as much as Castle mane-ia. Now lets get down to the nitty gritty.
    Now then the plot in this story was...alright. There are so many character flaws that I can't even get my head around it. I mean this episode pretty much revolves around Fluttershy and Applejack. For anyone who doesn't know; Applejack is my least favorite character. Ever since episode 3 in the series, I have always disliked Applejack. Now in this episode not only did Applejack act incredibly unlike herself, but so did the rest of the mane cast! Fluttershy, despite her friends ability to sway her, should not have used the stare on the bats. She's only used it in dire circumstances, against a cockatrice and Discord. Furthurmore, Rainbow Dash only does this because of the cider, and as much as I like episode callbacks, SHE WOULDN'T HAVE DONE THIS JUST BECAUSE OF CIDER!


    Commencing Rant Mode

    Some element of harmony Rainbow Dash is! Apparently the only thing she really cared about in this episode was the cider! Her character shows no signs of her even really caring about objects over her friends homes. There is no way in hell that Rainbow Dash would do this all because of the cider and not even give two moons about the fact that these bats are going ruin Applejack's farm. While we're on the subject of the rant, why don't we talk about Twilight's spell, hm?
    So what your telling me is that no unicorn has ever performed this spell with another pony around them? Not even a farmer or anything of the like? No, I don't think so. The explanation for flutterbat seems like it was just shoehorned into the plot so they would have a reason for this entire thing. Plus shouldn't the spell leave a warning for this? None of this makes sense!
    Okay Rant's over...now let's talk about everything that's good.
    The song, stop the bats, is amazing. It reminds me of this is halloween, from the nightmare before christmas. I've got it already put into my pony playlist and my working music playlist that I have set up for when write reviews. It's my favorite song, but it is in my top five songs. The song is so nice and the tune is catchy. I also love the animations for it. Like how everyone is dark except for Fluttershy.
    Now let's play the raridash shipping game! In the song Rainbow Dash joins after Rarity decides to voice her opinion, and while that may be for cider, we can also look at Rarity's line when she gets scared while searching for what's still destroying the forest. "I think I'll go check on Rainbow Dash." She says that when she's scared, furthuring the ship. There you go Phil/Rairty/Raridash/Chrysalis/Twicane/Saber/Rainbow Dash.
    Okay, so this episode was quite nice. While the story makes me want to rage quit, I still enjoy a lot of the episode. The song was good, animation was nice, but the story still needs work. So let's end this, ladies gentlemen, this episode get's my Reviewer rating of a 6/10. Needs work, a lot of work, but I'll rewatch it just for the song. This has been Neo Reviews, thanks for reading!

    (This is a joke.)
    So once upon a time in the year 1942, DIo invented the lightbulb but it wasn't called the lightbulb at first, it was called Nightmare night! What Dio didn't know was that lurking in the shadows of the run down motel complex that he called his lab was the dastardly Ruler of Equestria! We all know her as Rosewind now, though. Anyway, Rosewind was an evil genius and decided to write down Nightmare night and everything about it so she could steal it and sell it for ONE MILLION DOLLARS...in play money that is. However Rosewind wrote down a storyline involving the yet to be created mane 6, a bunch of OC's, and changelings which had also yet to be invented. She hide the book on the ancient haunted castle that Canterlot was built on and it was never seen again.
    Until 2012 when the event team found the book and started to take the story into their own hands...or hooves. I'm not sure if the event staff is comprised of ponies or humans. Anyway, it worked and Nightmare Night came to be! Which is really odd considering you'd think that Rosewind would remember that and she probably did but when Steeleagle promised to have me get hit by a fish somehow, Rosewind said it was okay.
    Also there was this guy named Phil who was a time wizard and he was cool guy, and one time we were all hanging out in a lab and he pushed a button and exploded. It's okay though cause he came back as Raridash the white, which was also a good time, but then he kinda turned evil and said he was going to eat our emotions. Which I told him to eat a snickers to get ahold of himself but he said he preferred laughter and went on to do evil things.
    Anyways, so Nightmare night actually happened and it started out fun, except Colgate just wanted to give out floss and no pony wanted floss so she turned into a changeling and attacked, along with a bunch of other changelings, so that wasn't good. Most of our characters got trapped in really weird places and some even joined a rebellion led by a rhyming Zebra, so that's a thing. Anyways most of us are just sitting there for a while, wondering what to do with our lives and we get eaten by Queen Chrysalis AKA Raridash the White AKA Phil the Time Wizard. So Rosewind AKA Pinkimena AKA Pinkie Pie started laughing and told us all to press this button, in a really weird lab that I think Chrysalis ate, which we did. So we all exploded except none of us did and we just kinda teleported home. Then the next day someone said I couldn't make a dishwasher that cleans dishes with wubs and I was all like "Moon that, I'm NeoExlucky!" So I made a dishwasher that cleans dishes with wubs but the Octavia in me said no, so I beat the dishwasher that cleans dishes with wubs with a hammer. Afterwards QuickLime had me eat a piece of candy that was filled with chocolate and I died.
    So if there's anything I've learned from this, it's 'don't use a sock to climb a mountain to get the apple.'
    And that's how Nightmare Night 2013 happened (in my head)

    Bridle gossip goes down as a personal favorite of mine. This episode introduces us two important characters, Has good animation, great writing, hilarious gags and evil enchantress. Let's get started.
    Okay the animation of Pinkie's eyes in this episode as well as the effects of the poison joke are really good. The writing was quite unexpected in certain places and was very good. The song from both Pinkie pie and Fluttershy is amazing. I love the song and I enjoy the lyrics a lot. The gags of the poison joke were really good and I loved all of them. Fluttershy's being my favorite. Before we get to the characters I do want to say that this is where Pinkie pie starts to get less annoying for me so Yay! Anyway this is the episode where we are truly introduced to Applebloom and Zecora. Applebloom here doesn't truly act like herself in some future episodes but I don't think she was truly planned for so many future episodes. Zecora on the other hand is amazing and she's even used in the next episode. They both are really good characters and though I enjoy one over the other they were executed beautifully in this episode. This is a very nice episode and I give it an A. This has been Neo reviews. Thanks for watching.
  17. NeoExlucky
    With 8 days left until season 4, I've decided to get back to work and at least try to finish season 1 in my reviews. We're going by a new system now, which is the old one. If you've read my review of Turnabout Storm, it's gonna be like that, except not as emotional. So let's get on with the show!
    Fun fact: Over the barrel is the first episode that I watched on Television, it was the 11th episode I watched. Does that mean I'm going to go easy on it? No. Let's be honest here, Over the Barrel isn't the best episode of all time. It has it's charms but it over stays in welcome and there isn't enough in this episode for me to enjoy. While I love the inclusion of the buffalo, and appleloosa, there are also things that I do despise about the episode.
    Giving us a new location of appleloosa is pretty good. I love the old western feel that this episode pulls off, and I don't know if it could have done the same thing in a location of, say; ponyville. It reminds of older TV shows that always had that one episode that took place in the wild west, where all the characters were different and didn't know each other, but they were still the same characters that they were in the normal episode.
    The 'weapons' that the ponies of appleloosa used were quite humorous, I loved the apple pie throwing, it really reminded me of some older shows, but it also reminded me of clowns...I don't like clowns.
    One thing I don't like is the story. The story of this all isn't very likable for me, it's not something I find myself watching with bated breath. I find it quite boring, and I would of liked it to have gone in other directions then the ones it did. Pinkie's share song helped with the story, but it just wasn't enough.
    I don't like braeburn. I know a lot of people really like him as a side character, and a lot of people put him in some of the grossest ships I know. (Braemac and Appleburn.) Personally I find him very un likable and down right annoying at times. I will give him the 'mild west dances" joke though. I found that very funny.
    Overall this episode is decent, at best. It has it's charming moments but overall I don't think it does anything. It makes my do-not-watch list and it's overall one of the worst episodes I've watched in season 1. That's not bad, mind you, the worst episode of mlp is in season 2, and there aren't many bad episodes in season 1. It still is one of my least favorite episodes though, and with all of this in mind, I give Over a Barrel, my reviewer rating of a 6/10. This has been Neo Reviews, thanks for reading.

    Hmm...something's not quite right here...I don't know what but for some reason I feel weird about this episode. I like it but and it was a really good episode, good song, great characters, believable story, but why doesn't it sit right? Oh well let's do this!
    The story is this, Rarity's working on an order and Sweetie belle wants to help but Rarity won't let her. Fluttershy comes in with Rarity's cat (I can't spell her name.) and the rest of the CMC come in after a bit of banter betweem Rarity and Fluttershy. They talk about a sleepover, Rarity says they can't and Fluttershy offers to help them.
    I have to say that this story is really interesting. I don't hate the CMC yet so this episode makes me really happy. The story reminds me of when I was younger and used to have sleepovers with my best friends. Anyways I like the overall story and I do believe that it makes the characters stay true to themselves.
    Animation was stunning, the cockatrice turning ponies to stone, to the animations during the song, all to Fluttershy's 'stare' make this episode really good. Best of all it only gets better from here.
    The characters seem okay here. The CMC are just like they always are, Rarity is like Rarity. Fluttershy and Twilight seem off to me. I don't know how but the stare, doesn't feel right for fluttershy. Maybe because she says that she can't control when she does the stare but does control it on discord in keep calm and flutter on. Twilight...I don't know. She doesn't seem right but...maybe it's the rock.
    Voice acting was normal. Nothing to outstanding for the show now.
    The Song "Hush now, Quiet now' is really good. I wish there was a real lullaby version of it and not just that one part because I would love to hear it. What we got was good though. I love the song, plus it gives us some insight on Sweetie belle as a character.
    The lines well...they flowed really good for CMC and fluttershy but some of the lines that rarity did felt odd and a bit different.
    Well this episode was an overall success. It seems to stay in the grey more than it should and if it was given a bit more of a push, I'd put it in a top ten, alas it isn't. So overall I give this episode a 7.5 out of 10. Needs just a tiny bit more work. Well now that's done here's your daily comic from Time Spinner!

    Let's get this finished up Bronies! Today let's talk about the relationships between characters and such. As well as how to evolve characters. Plus a general connection between relationships and Evolution in a character that I forgot to cover. Now in the MLP universe complex characters don't really happen but at the same time they do happen. One thing about each character is that there is a general emotion about them that we would go off of as a first impression. This is something that should definitely be minded in an RP. Give your character an emotion about them that isn't something too boring. This seems hard but if you were to compare it to real life it's not. Now this is way different in between WOE and FFA/Crossovers. In FFA let's say your character went through a type of hardship. In this case we'll say that they saw their parents die. Your character wouldn't fully recover from this. Depending upon how long it has been since that moment your character would have a different personality. For example 2 months from that event your character won't fully recover and will suffer a lot from that moment. A normally happy foal would turn dark and serious and possibly depressed. Now if it were a much longer time, like let's say 2 years, your character will have recovered but will suffer side effects. Perhaps flashbacks, or even item sensitivity. Let's do me next. I blame myself for the death of my best friend Aqua because I was never able to find a herb to cure her. Now there is one RP in which I still suffer from this as it takes place only about 4 months after I was sent to the future. I do suffer from culture shocks, needing a guide so I don't mess anything up and social problems. One thing that I try to keep in almost all my RP's is the importance of my pocket watch. While my pictures don't show it I have an obsession over the pocket watch, not because it holds a dark power but because it acts like my safety blanket. This is a sign of a side effect however there is more. Time recovers a bit too quickly from his problem as the academy shows me making Gadget my brother as well as becoming a bit more sociable. This is due to two things, for one Hearts and hooves day was a great evolution for my character and two I'm also insane. Insanity is something that you could suffer from that would cause you to recover quicker but at the cost of you sometimes doing something crazy, in this case having another personality. Now in WOE this is different as nothing truly bad happens in WOE that you could truly suffer from besides a death from old age. Still maybe your character is a little cocky and thinks he's better than anypony else. Then they should show that in whatever they do. This would be something that truly makes a character a character. However they would need a reason behind this.
    Moving on we can now talk about how to do evolution in RP. Here's a tip, DON'T BET ON ANYTHING YOU DON'T KNOW! If you think your going to make an RP centered around you for evolution it won't get far. Character evolution would normally happen through other RP's that may or may not directly link to your character. For example maybe the academy RP made your character a wonderbolt. You can decide whether to keep that or not in other RPs but if there is a direct sequel for this one then it would remain. Perhaps you don't know it yet but the RP is something that you should really get a fell for and maybe every once in a while change who your character is. This is truly how to do evolution is to just go with the flow in it. You will almost never find a way to give a character an RP centered around them. This maybe because a lot of character's like to make their character's relevant, like a resident evil game. We're each playing through a campaign and everyone to us is a side character but to someone else you may be the side character to them. However if you take this away not many people will like it.


    Sincerely,



    Time Spinner

    WARNING: I'm going to have to say that this video is NSFW, because I'm not sure if it is. I say something that means Manure and starts with a C. I don't find that as a curse word and now that Canterlot is in america, I don't know anything anymore...
    Anywho, the video.

    Now I don't know if you guys know this or not, but I love mega man. I didn't actually start playing it until recently and I even asked you guys which ones I should play, until I said "You know what, play all the megamans!" So pretty much all in the classic series (Minus 8), plus megaman x, x2, and x3. I also love rping and I thought, "Hey, I already do Sonic, and ponies, and Zelda recently, why not try a mega man roleplay?" So I searched the interwebs only to find that the last post made in a mega man rp site was back in 2011. Now that just can't do, can it? So I kept looking and figured I should start a mega man rp wikia. Now I'd need help with a few things because I am in no way, shape, or form admin material. Anyways, I haven't started it yet because I wanted to ask something, how many of you would Roleplay in the mega man world?

    Look before you sleep is an interesting episode That I really love. This episode is very close to being one of my favorites but it doesn't make it for certain reasons but let's cut to the chase.
    So let's get the little things out of the way. The writing in the episode is very well done as is the animation. The moral was one that children should learn as well. Now on to Character development. Applejack and Rarity act the way I think they should act in this episode. I love their fights and I love their comments to each other. My favorite line being 'Why can't you get an education for a minute!' I really think that they were portrayed well. Then theirs the other characters...yes Plural. WHERE IS SPIKE IN THE ENTIRE EPISODE!?! We know he lives with Twilight so why isn't he in the episode? He would have added a few seriously good points and comments to the overall episode that I feel like he was needed. Worse part of it is that wee don't even get an explanation as too where he is. Then there's Twilight. Why did she want a sleep over, which would need friends yet she never wanted friends? I never really understood this part of the episode. Twilight also doesn't really act like herself here. Despite this I do like the episode and I give it a B. This has been Neo reviews. Thanks for reading.

    Now that I've calmed down from a few other things and finally have a chance to post this I'm gonna. This is the blog post where I talk about my future and other things that are coming up. So let's get started. Now for those of you who don't know, I love video games. I grew up playing video games, my family is a bunch of gamers, and I go to gaming conventions, like gencon. Roleplaying really added to my love of gaming, giving me chance to think about a character in a new perspective. I'm always thinking about my future and it's because of video games that I know what I want to do with my life. I want to become a video game designer. Now I've played with game making programs before such as RPG maker, game maker, blender etc. and I've had so much fun making these games. I'm only sixteen now but I know I'll have a fun time designing characters, dungeons, and the like. RPG games have always been a favorite to me and it's because of RPG maker that I've learned how to make them. Which is my future project, to make an RPG. Now I could go about this RPG pretty differently and I've been thinking through what kind of RPG I want to do. After some time I wanted a pony RPG game using characters I've created and canon characters. That grew into asking permission to from you guys to use some of your characters as well, and soon I found myself making a video game directed towards the users of canterlot, all with inside jokes we'd understand. Then after an hour of playing final fantasy 13 I was thinking of a way to incorporate a paradigm shift mechanic into the game. The ideas kept popping up about what kind of game it could be, what mechanics it should have, and characters to use. I had over 140 characters I needed to ask permission for, that was how many ideas I got. Then I got one idea that I really love, it was already going to be a game made for canterlot, so why not make them game about canterlot? That's the idea I'm going by. So with that in mind, the name was changed to Canterlot and the characters became users. Of course I haven't gotten to work on the actual game, since I still need permission to use users as characters but my ideas began to swell and now, I'm going to try and make an RPG about canterlot using the members here as characters. Now not all of them would be party members or main characters mind you, Rosewind, for an example, made a great boss in my head. So with that in mind, I'm going to be sending out some messages asking for people to be characters in the game. The game will be free, It will be at E to T possibly for some language and suggestive themes. The game still needs a lot of work put towards it and if anyone knows of any great RTP packs (for free) or some characters, I'd be eternally grateful. Also your character (if in game) will be based off of what I think you look like, Let's say QuickLime was a character, she'd have black short hair, wear glasses, probably use swords and daggers, etc. Anyways Canterlot that's all I have for now, I need to get to some work on a few other things I'm gonna do.

    Warning may have spoiler if you haven't watched the episode!
    Puns! Puns everywhere! There to you left! There to you right! Holy horseapple! I should quit horsing around! Suddenly celestia! Okay let's start the review.
    Alright, fall weather friends is an episode that I forgot was so good! It's one of the few episodes that made me think "I love this show!" the night I turned into a Brony. Let's break it down for you;
    The story goes like this, Applejack and Rainbow dash are having a horse shoe throwing competition and they're just having a grand old time. The two have a bit of a conversation about it and they go into an iron pony competition that goes up, then spirals down. The rest well...it gets a bit RACEY afterwards. Ha, ha, ha...okay back to the review.
    The animation of the episode is petty top notch, with all the things that get shown off when Rainbow dashes, from place to place or when the leaves fall. It's pretty nice and I haven't seen be this good since Episode 1+2!
    The characters stay true to themselves and are just a blast to watch. They make it so much more interesting and Twilight's little bits are always great. I love some of the banter between Pinkie Pie and Spike, it always makes me chuckle.
    The story is simple and sometimes it's kind of lacking. We pretty much just skip to the events whenever Someone finishes the last one and this isn't something I like but I won't count it off for it. Still it was something I could see happening between these two characters.
    The voice acting of Ashleigh Ball was superb. I loved the quality of it and it out shined almost all of aspects of the episode.
    The lines for the characters were decent. It was good, better then Ticket Master, but there wasn't anything too outstanding of it, so I can't really mention anything that FELL into the WEATHER of my FRIENDS liking. See what I did there...I'm so Punny! Anyway the puns in there were actually what made this episode feel interesting.
    Anyways this is a very good episode for season 1 and it's one that, while other are better, always makes me smile and feel better about myself. It's really good and I love it...though it falls into the top 45% for me. I give this episode my exluckiest rating of an B and I give it a highlight of Season 1! It's good for it's time but if you were to put it against episodes like suited for success or Sweet and Elite, or even Lesson Zero and Magic duel, it would fall a little flat. This has been Neo Reviews, thanks for reading!

    Hello one and all! Neo here with my first entry in explaining OC's and the like. What with Lux being (I think) done with her characters right now, I've decided to bring my third favorite character on the list. (Behind Time Spinner and Aselia.) So what exactly was the inspiration for Gadget you might ask? Well...my little brother. Time Spinner was my ponysona, so it would make sense that when my little got his ponysona, he would be related to mine. Of course that destroys the whole backstory of Time Spinner but I did find a way around that with the introduction of something called a time loop, but we'll talk about that when we get to Time.
    Now if you've been keeping track of all of my real OC's we have eleven, soon to be twelve, and all of them except Time Spinner will show up, re-designed, in Canterlot Chronicles. I'm going to hold off on Time for a while, a LONG while. Anywho Gadget will be the next to get an app there, once I decide his purpose for it and once I get to work with my little brother. Gadget's personality has remained reletivly the same, no matter where he goes. He's always somewhat of an idiot and has been an inventor of sorts, even though he's never showed this off in any role-play. Since I really have no idea how to go about this, Gadget will be done in the style that Lux has done. So inspirations:
    1. My little brother- The way Gadget acts is pretty much the way Gadget acts in RP. It makes sense that it would be this way. The same thing goes for the relationship that me and my brother have. He's a lot more of a socialite and I'm more introverted. I always end up going to some crazy place with him and I do have that "I hate you all" attitude that Time Spinner can have with most ponies. (Or will have when he get's re-designed.)
    2. Building- Gadget's talent is inventing, and around the time that I had invented Gadget, I was in love with building things, and the like. During the time of Gadget's creation, I had built a replica master sword, Mickey's keyblade, and a ceramic pedestal thing that I'm not quite sure where it went. Anyways I thought it would be a great idea to make a character who loved to build while I loved to build. However since I kind of...lost interest in that I have yet to show that attitude, but that will be shown of in canterlot chronicles.
    Other information:
    Gadget makes appearances in other timelines that I have created based on Roleplays, stories, and even songs. He is three roleplays short of beating Time Spinner for most roleplays. Gadget, like all of my characters, has a theme song which is Ciela's theme.
