Nightly Discussion #1389

Some young Twilight snuggles. I wonder if at any point when she was young she wondered if she would one day be a princess? It's amazing what routes our lives take, isn't it?

Evening guys! Time to chat.

More Chancellor Neighsay Coming!

Maurice Lamarche, the voice behind Chancellor Neighsay, has popped up a tweet celebrating the episode today and promising even more to come. We know a few future episodes involve the school, so it's not too much of a longshot. Hopefully he brings on more of that crazy magic he was using today. Were those portals awesome or what?

Editorial: Pathologizing Ponies - How We See Mental Illness

Disorders on the brain? Have headcanons on which ponies have what diagnosis? I know I sometimes do, but at some point it makes me wonder why.

Not just our fascination with who can make the craziest face (the answer may shock you) or have the wildest breakdown, but when it comes to real mental illnesses, why do we tend to diagnose the ponies? Does it provide more meaning to these characters or are we trivializing serious topics?

Come along down the break and let's talk mentally advanced ill cartoons.

Season 8 Episode 1 & 2 - School Daze - Discussion

PONY IS BACK! Finally! After another long, painful hiatus, a new season has finally arrived. While Equestria Girls kinda held us over with the movie and specials, nothing beats good ol' cartoon horse!

Discovery Family has been dropping animatics for this season opener, along with other episodes for the past few weeks. You can find all of those over here. Along with that, we have some general trailers and clips.

If you want some humanized pony to hold you over while we wait, we have an Equestria Girls guide section now. Pretty much everything available online is there.

And if you missed it, we have synopsis released for the entire season already! It has been a weird few months.

And finally, we are going to start using our new Instagram soon if you want to subscribe to us over there.
