Where Are We?

It's been many years since our pony heroes have started their careers as professional friends. They've reached the apex of their personal journeys and then sort of... well, life carries on doesn't it? A lot of things can happen in the span of ten years. Injuries, new relationships, kids, pacts with evil forces.
Where are we now? And did we pack enough clean underwear?

Greg's ability to juggle dialogue remains razor sharp. I also like the roundabout closure for MAS Twilight's character arc. She's still a grump afraid of sincerity, but she's trying hard to be a good parent.

[@jameso2290]

This was randomly recommended to me, and I have no idea what it's from. Everyone in the comments are acting nostalgic and I'm out of the loop. What is MAS? Are there more videos in this series?

[@casketbase7750]

@jameso2290 MAS is "Mentally Advanced Series," this channel's abridged parody of MLP. It has a 27 episode playist on this channel, among a lot of other pony vids. The humor is the same as what you just watched. Also, don't be put off by the poor animation of the first few uploads; the series originally used clips from the actual show, but they got removed after a copyright strike from Hasbro. Greg redid them all while teaching himself how to animate from scratch.

[@bradthunderpants3283]

Seriously. If I were ever to be in charge of a TV show of any sort, Greg would be the first person I contacted to get on my writers team.

Yes this visual novel style is perfect. I want to see more things done in that forman now, it's just too good. However even then, with his voice acting it's more impressive. Juggling so many voices at once must not be easy. I always thought this, even back in college. when the original series came out.

something super sweet about rarity and applejack being the ones twi's still in contact with. applejack was always her favorite (of the bunch at least) and rarity being considerate and loving 'auntie' who isnt overly pushy or overbearing is an interesting change. its almost like becoming successful in the fashion industry means she has less to prove, and has become more cordial with twilight over time.
