Season 9 the Final Season
It has begun season nine of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I won’t lie I am excited, but sad as well because it is the last season of this fantastic show, I remember the first episode I watched I got hooked, the stories were designed to touch on subjects that kids and adults come across on every day like peer pressure, judging others, and believing in one’s true self. I like the design and personality not to mention the unique characters. I’m not just talking about the ponies, I’m also talking about the other creatures both good and evil like the monsters, the changelings, and the animals that came from the Everfree Forest.

Fuel for Inspiration
The day started out normal like any other day. I stopped at my favorite gas station to get some coffee, then headed to the school where I studied and worked. I had a sense something was wrong. First, I thought it was because finals were on the way, so I just brushed it off. The news of Chester Bennington's death came from my fiancé Ian; he asked if I was okay. I wasn't sure why he was asking and told me to check the web. My first thought maybe a terrorist attack nearby since they were going on a lot since 2016. My heart sank when I saw it online: "Linkin Park frontman found dead," even till this day, I still feel like it isn't real. This event was a significant impact because I felt alone and lost thinking my muse was gone, my fuel, and my source.

Some Anime or Manga Shouldn't Be a Live Action Film, but 'Alita: Battle Angel' Changed That
Just recently I saw a film called Alita: Battle Angel. The movie was terrific. The story was great and the special effects were off the wall. The film is set several centuries in the future and the Earth became imbalanced because of a war called, “The Fall.” (The whole planet became somewhat of a recovering post-apocalyptic world.) The abandoned Alita is found in the scrapyard of Iron City by Ido, a compassionate cyber-doctor who takes the unconscious cyborg Alita to his clinic (which also happens to be his home). When Alita awakens, she has no memory of who she is, nor does Alita have any recognition of the world she finds herself in. As Alita learns to navigate her new life and the treacherous streets of Iron City with the help of a boy named Hugo who happens to fall in love with her. Ido tries to shield her from her mysterious past. He has a good reason why. I saw in the end credits that the film was based off of a manga except it was called Battle Angel. I was surprised that the movie was great. This is because in the past there have been many anime and manga turned in to live action, and they have not done well in theater or direct to video. I can name a few, but let’s stick with Alita: Battle Angel.

Bring da Noiz on 'Dramatical Murders'
Spoiler Warning: Plot and ending details follow. First, let me point out, I’m not a gamer. I’m more of an observer who loves to read the story about the game. Moreover, I am a heterosexual woman who supports 100 percent the LGBQ community. Additionally, finally, I’m going to talk about why I think the character named “Noiz” is the best of the best. For those of you who don’t know, Noiz is one of the main characters both in the PC game and anime called Dramatical Murders. The game was released first in April of 2013 by Nitro+chiral with the title DRAMAtical Murder Re: Connect. Then, an anime series was made and ran in July through September of 2014 with 12 episodes and a bonus episode (it was the all bad endings, and they were scary especially Noiz’s bad ending) and finally, DRAMAtical Murder Re:Code it was released in October of 2014 by Nitroplus and a platform for PlayStation Vita.

Not the Ending I Expected
Spoiler Warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. How could something so cute and adorable be a damn evil? I am in shock to find out at the last episode of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic that the character named Cozy Glow (a young pegasi filly that is based off of the legendary child actress Sherley Temple, you could see it with the hair and facial expressions) is a villain I didn’t want to believe it at first when the character introduced the first time in season eight, episode 12 “Marks for Effort” when the Cutie Mark Crusaders help Cozy glow with her friendship homework. I saw in Cozy Glow had Twilight's cutie mark in her eyes, but I ignored it. Then I notice she was appearing way too lovely and always looking to be sticking her damn nose where it didn’t belong to mention she is pushy with the other creature characters telling them that no matter what they do every pony will see them as a creature to fear. I didn’t understand why she thought friendship was the power that she needed to have to dominate all of Equestria.

What About Tempest's Horn?
There are four types of ponies in Equestria: the earth ponies, the unicorns, the pegasi, and the alicorn. You can tell which pony is which just by looking at them. But what about Tempest Shadow? You see her from a distance and assume she is an earth pony, but come up close you will see she is a unicorn even thou she has a broken horn. Tempest Shadow or Frizzle Pop Berry Twist (her real name before she became a villain) wanted one thing; she wanted her horn back. So what’s the deal, why can’t she get it back? When an animal such as a rhino or a bull breaks a horn, it does grow back, but it takes years. Tempest’s horn broke as a fill.

What Happened to the Show?
The first time I saw Monster High, it was at a toy store. It was two dolls; Cleo De Nile, the daughter of the mummy, and her boyfriend, Deuce Gorgon, the son of Medusa. I found this item when I was looking for a gift for a child's birthday. I was intrigued by their outfits. It was like a mix of today’s modern clothing design with pieces of the clothing their parents would wear. After the party, I did some research about monster high. I read that Monster High started out as a book written by Lisi Harrison which tells the characters of the offspring of the famous Hollywood monsters like Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, the zombie, and the werewolf (only to name a few). I fell in love with the show and films. I love the message they shared about being yourself, the slogan was catchy it was “Be yourself, be unique, be a monster.” I thought it was amazing how the show was teaching kids that it’s not cool to bully others. The web-episode talked about self-esteem like it’s okay to come out of your shell, don’t be shy. I loved the other monsters on the web-episode because it shows that not everyone is the same and had “Freaky Flaws.” (That means we have the issues that make us unique.) I joined their Facebook page and purchased some of the dolls because some of the characters were like me. Monster High was terrific until mid-2016 when I heard there was going to be a reboot. Everything I loved about Monster High wasn’t the same.

Cats and Dogs... Gotta Love Them
They are cute and furry and make great roommates. “Cats and dogs, cats and dogs,” sometimes they get along, or they fight to claim the position of “best buddy.” These two species have a special place in our lives. I know mine do. My cat, Amber, is a grayish brown tabby and my dog, Rozi, is a corgi mix. My two animals get along sometimes, but they fight to get pretty much anything, from scraps of food to the best comfy spot on the couch.

The Ponies Are Awesome
I won't deny it. I love My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. The show has good moral values about making friends, such as understanding someone's point of view and not to judge a book by its cover. Believe it or not, the show was made for toddlers and young girls. Teens and adults watch the shows as well. I wasn't sure why I began to watch. As soon as I watched the first episode, I was hooked. The show was different from the early 1980s version, where the beginning of every event the ponies fought a monster a demon or a witch that wanted to make them slaves.
