I Finished The First Two Episodes In Season 8 Of FiM. Oh My Gosh??? They Were So Well Written??? (School

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.

I just finished the Equestria Girls: Rollercoaster of Friendship movie and it was (somehow) my first time ever watching it

When I tell y’all this is the GAYEST mlp content I’ve ever seen??? Are you kidding me??? This movie was when Rarijack was made canon for eqg in my heart <3

Are you kidding me? Be for real right now. They should’ve kissed.

I will say though, I didn’t really enjoy how everyone was just teleported to a weird empty room at the fairgrounds that they literally could have left at any point. That bit fell totally flat for me, but I guess it makes sense if the writers didn’t want to reuse the trope of being trapped inside of a magical object, which is what they did in Mirror Magic.

"The Creative Team Considers How The Personality Of Each Character Translates Into Facial Expressions,

"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 was gonna argue. But y'know what? That's fair enough. I'm an eqg enjoyer myself but I can also understand people's distaste for it. It's energy is different than FiM, the series is basically unrelated at all to FiM characters, and some of the designs are ass.

No matter what happens im not watching equestria girls. Nope. Nuh uh.

Idc if it has cool songs, im not relieving the horrors of high school with poor humanized twilight
