My Little Pony: Starlight Glimmer Is Interesting As Fuck Here Is Every Interesting Thing This Mare Says And Does And Thinks And Oh God Why Can't There Just Be More Right Now

Hey, there! Did you miss me?

Wonderful!

t h a t m e a n s i t ' s w o r k i n g

Well! That sure was a week.

Went to another dimension, gained like eight extra mini-hooves (and that was just above the waist!), ate ice cream, fought an evil diva powered by Equestrian magic yeah that one came right outta nowhere

Except she wasn't evil at all. Her name's Juniper. Managed to win her over at the last possible second with the magic of friendship.

...that is ironic, right? Given why I'm even here and able to write in you, I mean? I think that's ironic. I'm gonna go with ironic. Ugh, do you ever get tired of those know-it-all ponies who just push up their glasses and are compelled to tell you just what ironic really means?

'Cause no seriously I totally magi-gagged Moondancer once when she tried that on me. It was actually pretty great, cause, see, like, it was just a big energy ball, in her mouth, and I'd just thought of it on the spot cause sometimes she just drones on and on and on about books this and libraries that and Twilight's party the other thing oh my gosh I was so proud of myself when I figured out how to save my ears

And she couldn't do anything but muffle and it was fun and hilarious aaaaaaaaaaaand you know upon further reflection 50/50 odds on my giving the spell recipe to Minuette when she asked for it being anywhere near a good idea?

Ahh, they're grown, responsible mares. I'm sure it'll be fine. And, hey, Moonie and I are still great fri—good. Good friends. I keep forgetting about the Ramen Incident

Just in case though, I'm going to place an auto-spell on this book right now, in the very specific case that it ever gets stolen, someone reads it, and decides they wanna correct me on the whole "ironic" thing.

Let's seem them correct me without teeth

....aaaaaaaand done! Back to talking.

Anyway, yeah! Go, me! Go, friendship being magic! I think I might actually be getting the hang of this. Which is good considering the last time I tried the whole friendship-offering thing, Queen Chrysalis swore to get revenge on the entire world. But me and Juniper? We ate ice cream together (look, let those who don't like ice cream cast the first stone, okay) just the next day.

And we... talked. Yeah. Talked is a pretty good word for it.

I think talking in that world might be even more fun than it is in Equestria you can reach so many places with eight extra mini-hooves just saying~ <33333 seriously I never knew what I was missing until I got it

But yeah, now that I'm back, I'm actually missing all of it. Just exploring that world was fun even when I wasn't having the time of my life talking with all of the human versions of Twilight's best friends and Twilight herself. That said, I'm not sure what's greater: my relief that (my) Twilight didn't read me the riot act for sneaking off through the mirror in the first place...

Or my shock that apparently nopony wants to do anything about this freaking leak.

I mean, seriously what the shit. I ran some tests in my lab when I came back to Equestria, and trust me—everyone in Equestria who knows about the mirror knows that magic is leaking from here to there while totally screwing over innocent... people? That's what they're called, right? Granted, that amounts to like eight ponies and a kid dragon, but they're, like, the most politically powerful and able to actually do something about it and did you know a tear opened up in the sky between both worlds while Twilight and I were off fighting in Rainbow's past? 'Cause I sure was the last one to know this!

And when I talked to Twilight about it, do you know what she said?

SHE TOLD ME IT WAS ME. THEY SAID IT WAS ("a slight but unignorable chance of") MY STUPID TIME-TRAVEL SPELL WEAKENING ALL OF TIME AND SPACE AND THUS COMPROMISING DIMENSIONAL INTEGRITY.

NO.

BULLSHIT.

IRON WILL EXCREMENT. oh hell why did i go there Twilight, I love you, but screw you I am not taking the rap for this one one bit I already fixed the government for you last Daybreaker-damned week it's your turn to do something—

Sigh.

You... know what the messed-up part about it is, though?

I talked to Sunset about it before I left to come back here. She knows what's going on just as much as anyone, but... she doesn't want it to stop.

She says it gives her purpose. She screwed up big time in Equestria, and now this is her way to... to matter. And not hate herself.

I... might know a little something about that. Just saying.

I think I should go ask Twilight about being able to talk to her more. Talk talk, not... y'know. Okay, maybe that too. And Juniper, too.

They could really use some friends who... well, who get it.

I know I could always use more.

Wow, Twilight was right. This does help sometimes.

I suppooooooooose I can let her keep breathing my air for a little while longer yet.

...that sounded like Trixie, didn't it? Be honest. Ugh, I don't want her rubbing off on me, she begs for that enough as it is.
