I will say this about Austraeoh, while it is an amazing story that can get my curiosity fired up like nothing in the past three years has been able to... /It also leaves me feeling a little bit empty inside./ Not out of any fault of the story, just... Rainbow's quest to fly east is just such a lonely adventure... I don't know, it needs a sad tag. There isn't any punch-in-the-face sad, no, but I wasn't prepared to be given second-hand depression. ...I think I need to take a break and recharge before continuing it. Maybe tomorrow.

It does feel very stiff, yeah. But! It also made me weirdly nostalgic, like it reminded me of old video game cutscenes or something. And I actually liked it. I'm not going to spoil anything on the plot, but I will say Zipp is my new favorite G5 character, leaving Izzy as second favorite. It did feel a little bit quick to resolve, but it also felt like just a beginning. Like it was quick to resolve because it was the first drop of a rainstorm, not quick to resolve because of bad pacing. I don't know if that feeling comes from the show labeling itself by chapters instead of seasons, or from the plot itself, but it was a feeling I got. And finally, I noticed that the latest episode of Tell Your Tale referenced the day of C1E1 of Make Your Mark. It didn't mention the conflict, but it did mention the setting. So I think Tell Your Tale might be something more along the lines of the G4 comics- though obviously with a different tone and style and medium- than it is along the lines of Pony Life. Not strictly conforming to the main series, definitely not active Canon, but likely passive Canon and definitely taking into account the events of the main show like Twilight's coronation. It also matches the way the comics had a different tone than the show in G4, though in the opposite direction.

I didn't even realize it was my birthday today until I checked the date I wish I hadn't. I'm scared of being nineteen, that's only one year off twenty. An age I am very much unprepared for.
