5.1 | Horde Prime

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (2018)

🌸🌸🌸🌸

This must be the calmest She-Ra episode ever. I liked that quite a lot!

It was still the familiar style of writing, but the tone felt so different. There was so much stillness. I think the characters themselves were calmer, without making the stakes seem any less immediate for them. I had no idea what to expect, but this is exactly what hits the spot at this point in the show. I didn’t even know it had this range. I hope the rest of the season keeps playing with this new tone, but really, absolutely anything could happen!

Most of the dialogue felt comfortably straightforward and grounded in the situation without trying to do too much. There were a bunch of lines that felt really clear-headed and adult in a refreshing way, like the characters weren’t held back from being self-aware for the sake of the drama. Like when Adora said “I made my choice. I’m living with the consequences,” and when Glimmer challenged Catra about thinking she can end up on top in the full Horde. Though in a couple other points it did go back to the opposite tone, a familiar disappointing forcedness to the lines like when Adora is kind of ineffectually ranting about saving Glimmer. And whenever Mermista and sometimes the other B-Princesses spoke in their bored valley girl way, I kinda winced because it felt like they were actively undermining the stakes and telling me not to care too much!

Adora’s new arc is nice. It really made little impression on me, but in a comfortable way. I’m happy to keep going with it cause I like the way the story is told. I like the introduction to the good guys now holding out in a makeshift camp and helping refugees. I feel like I have a really clear picture of how Horde Prime is attacking the planet and making the situation more and more dire. In a way, the Princess Alliance feels more compelling to watch than they ever did before, since the stakes and their dedication to fighting the bad guys feels much more immediate and tangible! They feel like some cool heroes! Oh and I loooove how Shadow Weaver fits in. The way they basically let her be one of the leaders because she’s a grown-up, even if they won’t necessarily go with her ideas. Her everpresent social power is so eerie. And I love whatever’s going on with her and Micah, it’s bound to be interesting! Insane that she’s at least a generation older than this big tough king.

Entrapta got demoted back to child! It’s kind of weird seeing her just be their absentminded baby mechanic when her projects and her relationships were one of the most important things for half of the show. I’m not sure if it feels like a revision of her character or if it makes sense for her in a new environment.

I am in love with the whole Horde Prime dynamic. All of his psychological tricks are really interesting and smart and delivered with such a believable casual manner. He’s so scary. Glimmer’s reactions are really powerful and Catra’s subtle mixed feelings are really interesting too. The way he really feels like a galaxy-traveler, like with the alien food, is such a new weird element for this show. It makes me think of Animorphs.

I’m so excited for Glimmer and Catra to become friends. They’re both such catty jerks, the dynamic is gonna be so good.

It’s a really interesting position for Catra overall – in some ways she was already at the point of abandoning her cursed ambitions, but now she’s in a situation where she has no choice but to offer her loyalty to Horde Prime, at least to begin with, so she kind of gets a perfect do-over of her moral decision in the Horde, with some time to think.

I really liked the captured Horde clone! Why was he so utterly charismatic??

Next time: Back to the Fright Zone!

So going into it I knew the coronation would be sad but I wasn’t prepared for the amount of tears omg like people just didn’t get glimmer at all and kind of disregarded her grief and that resonated so much like sometimes the best way to heal is to talk about what you lost and I’m so glad that the show recognised this

#not to be personal on the main but #all of glimmers reactions in this episode felt too familiar it was a lot #but so good to see it represneted in a kids show so people can understand how people deal with grief #she ra #she ra spoilers #spop #spop spoilers #she ra s4 #she ra s4 spoilers #not books #mine

late nights

Spencer is a lot more tired than usual, and Morgan gets suspicious about it. 

Spencer Reid x Reader

Warnings: penetrative sex, unprotected sex

Spencer dragged himself into the nearly empty bullpen of the BAU, instantly making a beeline for the kitchenette.  He let out a sigh of relief as he saw that a fresh pot of coffee had just been made, taking his favorite mug out of the cabinet before pouring the hot beverage in.  He grabbed a canister of sugar before pouring much more than necessary into his drink, stirring it around to let it dissolve before he heard an all-too-familiar voice pop up behind him. 

“Easy there, tough guy.  Have some coffee with your sugar,” Morgan said from behind him, heading to the cabinet to get his own mug to have some coffee.  Spencer rubbed at his eye tiredly with the heel of his hand, adding a bit more sugar before stirring it once again. 

“I need something to wake me up,” he simply replied, leaning against the counter as he blew carefully onto the hot drink so as not to spill any of it.  He could practically hear the grin from his partner as he made his way to the coffee machine to make his own drink.

“Late night?” Derek asked, glancing over at him as he made his way closer to him to make himself a cup of coffee to help make it through another exhausting yet exciting day at work. 

“Very,” he nodded softly, picking his mug up before carefully taking a sip of the scalding hot liquid. 

“My man!” Morgan beamed, clapping his hand over the smaller boy's shoulder.  He chewed on the inside of his cheek as he felt his hand hit one of the few rough scratches left on his back, hoping his friend would just assume it was because he didn’t like being touched - which he didn’t. 

“Not that kind of late night,” he lied, shrugging his hand off of his shoulder before fixing his collar slightly with a roll of his eyes.  His friend only hummed, pouring his coffee quickly before following after the doctor. 

“Alright then, tell me: what does keep young Dr. Reid awake at night?” he asked with a chuckle, beginning to ramble off a few guesses that normally would keep him awake.  This time, however, had been much, much different. 

-

“Spence, come on, it’s one more episode,” she begged of him, her hand wrapped around his wrist as he tried to get up from her couch. 

“We both have work in the morning, and it’s already midnight, Y/N,” he groaned, glancing down at her as she pleaded for him to stay just a little longer.  He watched as she let her eyes widen and her bottom lip pout, huffing before sitting next to her.  

“Only one more,” he grumbled softly, folding his arms across his chest in a fake mocking frown as she pressed a soft kiss to his cheek.  She pressed play and a new episode of Doctor Who began, cuddling up to her boyfriend and resting her head on his shoulder as his focus stayed on the large television screen in her living room. 

Her attention, however, soon diverted to her boyfriend, one of her arms wrapping around his while the other rested high on his thigh.  His hand was resting on her knee, and he just squeezed it with a bit of a grin at the sudden motion.  She glanced up at him to see if she had gotten a reaction out of him (anything at all would have been sufficient), but his features were stoic, focused only on the first doctor. 

She had let her hand travel a little more inward, inch by inch, centimeter by centimeter, just to see how far she would be able to take it before he did something. 

Her hand had nearly reached his belt buckle that glimmered in the soft light of her living room before his much larger one wrapped around her smaller wrist, pulling it back before looking down at her. 

“What’re you doing?” he asked coyly, almost as if he genuinely was confused by the situation at hand.  He looked down at her with a slightly raised eyebrow, his grip barely loosening on her so he didn’t hurt her. 

“Oh, just… trying to make this episode more interesting, that’s all,” she replied, taking her boyfriend’s chin between her thumb and forefinger before carefully turning it back towards the screen. 

“Don’t pay attention to me, Spence…” she started, pressing a soft kiss below his ear before letting her mouth travel down his neck. “...Just watch the show.”  Her voice on his skin sent soft vibrations through his body, causing him to swallow whatever sound he wanted to let out before resting his head on the back of the couch. 

She trailed her lips across his neck for about five more minutes before he felt her hands tugging at his belt buckle mindlessly.  His hips bucked up a bit towards her touch, not noticing how tight his pants have felt until now.  He craned his neck back slightly as he let out a quiet moan, his toes curling up in his mismatched socks as he stole a glance down at her before standing up.  “C’mere,” he said softly, taking her hand before pulling her up from the sofa.  He pressed a soft yet passionate kiss to her lips, his hands holding her cheeks as if he could pull her any closer to himself. 

He smiled against her soft, plump lips, carefully backing up until he had reached her bedroom door.  He reached behind him and pushed it open, guiding her in as well before closing it behind them.  He laid her back onto the soft mattress decorated with the softest pillows and the smoothest blankets, carefully helping her pull her Cal-Tech t-shirt over her head before she slowly unbuttoned his dress shirt.  His lips reattached to hers quickly, his own hands working at tugging her leggings down quickly, his hands as eager to roam her body as his eyes were to see it.  He’d seen her naked before, and he had been blessed with an eidetic memory so he’d never forget what she looked like.  But each time he saw her, naked or not, it was almost an out of body experience.  To say she took his breath away would be a gross understatement.  

She pushed the soft blue material off his shoulders before tossing it off towards his hamper, her hands traveling down his chest before unbuckling his belt.  She shoved his trousers down his legs quickly, kissing him over and over again as she impatiently waited for more of his delicate touch that she craved so dearly.  

He tugged his boxer briefs down quickly with one of his hands, the other grasping onto the top of her wooden headboard to give himself leverage.  He practically ripped the lace panties off of his girlfriend (mumbling a quick stream of apologies into her mouth as he heard the flimsy fabric tear), lining himself up with her almost impatiently before he slowly pressed himself into her.  He relished in the soft moans he was able to get out of her, his lips traveling down to her collar bone where he sucked softly on her supple skin. 

Her nails instinctively gripped onto his bare back in order for her to ground herself, chewing on the inside of her cheek as he moved slowly at first, trying to allow her to adjust to the feeling.  He looked down at her after he was as close to her as he possibly could be, wanting to make sure she was alright before he did anything else.  She gave him a soft nod and a quick kiss on the lips.  He nodded in return, slowly beginning to build up the pace of his hips pushing into her.  She let out a soft groan at the sudden movement, her nails dragging down the soft skin of his back as he grasped tightly onto her hips.  

“Fuck, Spence,” she breathed out, feeling his mouth move down towards her neck once again, relishing in the sounds of his breaths and the faint murmur of the television that had long been forgotten.  She let one of her hands travel back up to his hair, knotting her fingers between the thin strands and tugging softly as he used his hand that was once on her hip to wrap her leg around her waist.  She moaned quietly into the hot air of her apartment, his mouth biting and sucking on her collar bone before dragging his tongue across the fresh bruise to soothe any pain she would have. 

Once her leg was around his waist, he let his hand travel up her stomach and towards her chest, not letting his hips falter as he wrapped his hand around her breast.  He let out a soft groan as he felt her clench around him at his touch, rolling her nipple between his thumb and pointer finger before doing the same to the other.  Her soft, angelic moans filled the small bedroom as he trailed his lips back to her mouth, kissing her roughly and passionately once again while he let his hand travel back down her body gently.  

“Shit… shit, princess,” he grunted out, letting his fingers draw circles around her clit to try and push her closer to her release, wanting to make sure she reached her high before he reached his own. 

“S-Spence, I’m close,” she whimpered beneath his touch, her nails digging into his skin hard enough she was almost positive she had drawn blood.  She let her head fall back against the pillows that decorated her large bed, her eyes screwing shut as she felt her breaths becoming heavier and quicker.  She let out a shaky sigh as she felt him tipping her head upward, letting him press a soft kiss to her forehead before speeding his hips up carefully. 

“Eyes on me, angel.  I wanna watch you when you come undone all over me,” he said softly, letting his own groans slip out between his words as his stomach tightened into knots.  She looked up at him with blown pupils and lustful eyes, doing her best to keep her attention on him as she neared closer and closer to her release. 

Once she finally came,  she let out a string of moans and curses, her nails dragging all the way down his back as she felt her entire body tense up.  Spencer followed in suit at the feeling of her tightening around him, letting out a soft grunt as he did his best to ride them both through their highs.  

After a few moments, when he was sure her breathing was under control and she was alright, he rolled off of her carefully and laid next to her.  She moved herself quickly so she could cuddle up next to him, resting her head on his pale, slightly sweaty chest before letting out a soft sigh. 

“Any chance I can convince you to come over tomorrow night?”

-

“No, no, no, I’ve got it: watching Star Trek… and laughing at all of the physics mistakes,” Derek guessed again with his usual teasing grin.  Spencer almost bit his tongue, dared not say anything, but he could never pass up any opportunity to correct Derek Morgan. 

“Actually, there aren’t that many outright errors in Star Trek, especially if you consider how long ago it was made,” he said, sipping on his coffee to try to distract himself from the memories from last night he would never be able to forget.  “There are certain improbabilities, but not that many outright errors,” Spencer explained, leaving Derek with a dumbfounded expression before he simply nodded. 

“...Right,” he said, shaking his head before heading back to his desk.  Spencer made his way back to his own desk, sitting down in the plush chair as he set the coffee mug down beside a framed picture of him and his mother.  He looked up once he heard the clacking of heels across the floor of the bullpen, chewing on the inside of his cheek as he watched JJ’s new assistant stride across the room and towards the conference room. 

“We’ve got a new case,” Y/N announced, holding up the few files she had to distribute to the team members before she disappeared into the round table room. 

Spencer let out a huff as he grabbed his mug once again, taking a sip of it as he grabbed his leather messenger bag and followed their newest addition to the team to the room.

-

“Y/N, I’m going to be late,” Spencer chuckled softly as she pressed soft kisses across his face, checking the time on his watch as he did his best to fix his tie in the mirror.  “They’re expecting me down at the police station in fifteen minutes.  I’m supposed to carpool with Derek,” he grumbled, glancing down at her despite only being able to see the top of her head. 

“They’re expecting both of us, and JJ already left with Emily.  I’ll just come down a little after you and ask to ride along with you,” she coaxed, tugging softly at the tie he had spent too long on before pulling his lips to her own. 

They’d been able to keep their relationship a secret for over a year now.  Y/N made sure she only interacted with him at work when she absolutely had to, especially once he started wearing his glasses more frequently.  Whenever they were on the jet, Spencer always made sure his nose was buried in a book and he was sitting on the opposite end of the plane.  Considering the lengths they went to avoid each other, most of the team had assumed they disliked each other. 

He let out a quiet huff as she pushed a bit of hair out of his face, leaning down and pressing another kiss to her lips before pulling back.  “Wait a minute before coming down.  He said he was meeting me in the lobby,” he said, kissing the top of her head one last time before he grabbed his key card and slipped out the door.  

She kept an eye on the clock on her phone before making her way out the door as well, taking the stairs down the hotel before entering the lobby. 

“...Don’t tell me pretty boy had a little fun last night,” she heard Derek tease with a chuckle, leaving it to her imagination to see his devious smirk as he picked on the younger boy relentlessly. 

“I didn’t, I was looking over the geographic profile and then thought maybe the trees had something to do with why the unsub leaves the victims in those specific spots, since they were all left under sequoia trees in the state park, but I figured that wouldn’t be a fair assumption since it’s the most common tree in said park,” Spencer rambled for a moment, doing his best to sell that he was doing anything besides having fun.  (While it may have been fun according to Spencer’s standards, it definitely wasn’t in Derek’s books.) 

“Uh-huh, whatever you say, player,” he teased, clapping his hand over the boy’s shoulder with a wide smile just as she had caught up with the pair.

“Derek!” she called out once she reached the front doors of the hotel he was about to walk through, fixing her skirt slightly as they stopped.  

“Y/L/N, you good?  I thought JJ left like thirty minutes ago,” he said, checking his watch before he stuffed his hands in the pockets of his trousers. 

“Yeah, uh, I slept through my alarm and missed a few calls from her and Emily, so they left a little while ago without me.  Would you mind if I rode in with you?” she asked in an innocent, pleading voice, not that she needed it.  Derek would’ve given you a ride without question or explanation, so he nodded in response.  

“Sure, of course,” he said, leading her and Spencer out of the building.  “Looks like you’ll have to sit in the back again, doc,” he said over his shoulder with a grin, which earned him a silent eye roll from Spencer.  She couldn’t help but smile to herself at his response to his friends teasing, getting into the passenger seat before putting her seat belt on.  Derek and Spencer both did the same, before Derek pulled out of the parking lot and drove off towards the station. 

They all sat in a slightly uncomfortable silence for a few minutes before Derek cleared his throat, looking up at Spencer through the rearview mirror before looking over at me, not letting his gaze linger more than a few moments since he was driving.

“So, which one of you are going to tell me the real reason why you both coincidentally were late this morning and at least once a week for the past two months or do I have to make a bold assumption?”  he asked, letting one of his hands rest in his lap while the other controlled the steering wheel easily.  He kept his gaze on the road in front of him now, a tiny smirk apparent on his face as he did his best to hold back a laugh. 

Spencer looked at the front passenger seat with furrowed brows before looking over at his best friend.  “Wh-what are you talking about?” he asked the older man, fiddling with the strap of his bag as he looked between his two co-workers.  Y/N could see Derek’s face turn pink as he held back his laughter. 

“You’re kidding me, right, kid?” he asked, looking up at him in the rearview mirror once again.  “You are the most punctual person I’ve ever met in my life, and the last two months you’ve been late to work at least four times.  And you’ve been drinking more coffee than usual.  It’s got to have replaced all the blood in your body at this point,” he said, before glancing over at me. 

“And you, baby girl,” he started, grinning a little bit before reaching over and tugging the collar of her shirt down just enough to expose the bruises littered across the top of her chest but not enough to make them uncomfortable; from how he could see it, it looked like the top part of an ‘S’.  “You’re not as sly as you’d think.”  Spencer chewed on the inside of his cheek as he looked between the two of them before slumping back in his seat.

“Does everybody know?” he asked, folding his arms across his chest as he watched his friend pull into the parking lot of the police department.

“Emily figured it out her first week here.”  Spencer huffed out, doing the calculations in his head as he tried to find when exactly everyone else had found out. 

“One hundred and sixty-four days,” Spencer groaned, rubbing at his eyes with the heels of his hands before tugging his seat belt off and quickly getting out of the car.  Y/N glanced over at Derek as he grinned deviously who was busy watching Spencer march into the building with a frown on his face. 

“No one else really knew, did they?” she asked, holding back her own grin as she watched her boyfriend make his way through the glass doors frustratedly. 

“Nah, but you guys could be a little more subtle when sneaking into each other's rooms.  I am right across the hall, you know.  I don’t need to hear you pleading for the good doctor to let you in for… whatever that was that kept you up all night,” he taunted, smiling a bit as he got out of the car.  She couldn’t help but let out a quiet laugh as she got out of the car and followed him in, running a hand back through her hair as she prepared herself for the day ahead despite how exhausted she was.

After all, she did have a late night.

spoilers, obviously (under cut bc it’s rather long)

episode one

DAMN THEY DID NOT HESITATE TO DIVE RIGHT INTO SHIT

(oh yeah this is a split season so that makes sense..)

FUCK SHADOWEAVER FUCK SHADOWWEAVER

Angela loses points for not having a proper prison but gains them right back for not letting Adora in to interrogate Shadowbitch

Glimmer: we shouldn’t let her manipulate you

Adora, immediately: //decides to manipulate / trick her friends

Side note, interesting episode title..

Adora’s friends: //arent fooled at all THANKFULLY

GLIMMER IS WITH HER GOOD

ANGRY GLIMMER !!!!!! PROTECTIVE GLIMMER !!!!!!!!!

God Adora calling out Shadowbitch is everything

LET HER DIE

DONT HEAL HER

GDI

YOU CANT TRUST HER

Fuck this is cool

Shadowbitch’s two reasons for (SUPPOSEDLY) turning is to get revenge on 1) Hordak and 2) Catra While im sure Adora is all behind the first one, she certainly wont let the second happen.

Okay but who SENT Adora through that portal??

“Don’t I get a say in what happens to me? Don’t I get a choice?!”

:’0

The worst thing about this is that LightHope is basically telling Adora the same thing the Horde did: you dont have a choice over your life, your ambitions, your responsibilities. Fuck LightHope.

“It is happening again.” HM

“Are you okay?” “I’m not sure yet.” baby.. i felt that

episode two

What a COOL shot of Adora

Fjejhd of coUrse Glimmer didnt tell her mom

Poor fucking Angela

 The ‘purposefully gets names wrong’ gag will always be my favorite

ADORA’S ~TRYING TO BE SMOOTH~ VOICE IS HILARIOUS BUT ALSO.. 👀

 anybody got a map? oh wrong show sorry

listen i cant blame Adora how could you NOT be in love with her

OH SHIT WE CAN SEE HORDAK WITHOUT HIS ARMOR

Ugly ass twink bitch

Adora getting an outside perspective on the war and how it effects Etheria should be interesting

Wait where are Glimmer and Bow ?

Adora being called “blondie” 👌👌

ADORA WANTING TO IMPRESS HUNTARA ️‍👌🏳️‍🌈✨

Oh theyre there they just fell behind

Huntara led them into a trap didnt she

Gdi

Netflix referring to Bow Glimmer and Adora as the “squad” omg

-rewatching the fight scene from 18:30-

diD HUNTARA JUST ROAR LIKE A LION?!

I love the repeating of lines to each other thats such a good trope too

“Thats mine!” ”Then come and take it.”

Also I like seeing Adora fight and pull off really cool moves but not like, flawlessly. Like her backflip- she almost falls. Or when she swings Huntara’s sword and it doesn whip out at first.

HUNTARA JUST ROARED AGAIN

ANOTHEr EXAMPLE OF THEIR MIRRORING IS WHEN HUNTARA HOLDS ADORA’S HEAD UP WITH HER SWORD AND THEN SHE RA DOES THE SAME

Thats totally foreshadowing the connection of their backgrounds with the Horde huh

The “‘You know about She ra?’ Heheh, I AM She ra” moment is so good okay I need to call it out again. The way she flashes her sword in front of her face? Amazing. Spectacular. Im gay-

The end of this episode be like: //women supporting women

Mara’s ship!! Dun dun dunnn

Edgy Catra in the Crimson Waste shot: ✔️

MIRROR MAGIC (EQG SPECIAL 3/3) THOUGHTS

Once we found out what all the EQG Specials were going to be about there was no doubt it was the 3rd and final one that created the most buzz and just from two things alone:

The first of course being that at least for a brief time Sunset would return to Equestria. Something that the fandom has wanted dearly for a long time now, especially after hearing that was a subplot that was entirely cut out of Friendship Games. So many fans wanted to see the now reformed Sunset return to Equestria, and have a emotional reunion with Celestia. However though, it appears those who wanted the latter thing especially will still have to wait at least a little longer. Because the only reason Sunset really goes back is to get a new magic journal since the one she's had since Rainbow Rocks ran out of pages. Though upon going back to Equestria comes the 2nd major thing that caused buzz for this EQG special.

And that of course was the news that Starlight Glimmer would be involved in this one. And unlike the desperately wanted scene of Sunset returning to Equestria, the response to this was… mixed to say the least. As I said in the Royal Problem thoughts there was so much Starlight things going on at the time we found out about the synopsis of that episode cause we have already had 3 out of the first 4 Season 7 episodes star (no pun intended) Starlight in some way. And then we find out she's involved in one of the EQG Specials too. It isn't just the fact it seems everything seemed to have been involving Starlight all of a sudden, that was two things that fans have desperately wanted to see (A royal sister episode and Sunset returning to Equestria) that in their own minds felt like Starlight has been hijacked into. Again i take the more fair route that it's fine to include Starlight, but I do understand the frustration of those who aren't a fan of Starlight at all. When it comes to putting Starlight in those highly anticipated events it's like finally getting a long requested food only for the inside of it to have some undesired flavor that you were familiar with and didn't like before.

I guess another thing to consider that people would get worried of any canon implications of it if possible. But it's nothing that isn't that new to the EQG series. The main show is obviously canon to EQG but when you get to the other way around that's kind of sketchy. We never see the mirror, and none of the events of the EQG movies are ever referenced in the Main show. The closest we got are the Flash Sentry cameos during Season 4, but that isn't enough. It would of taken Twilight having some kind of reaction to seeing Pony flash for something like that. One situation where that could of happened was Three's a Crowd but he literally was just a guard there, Twilight completely ignores Flash in favor of being happy Cadence is there. I don't think Starlight's going to mention what happened in the EQG special either. So I think I can still stand on the belief that this is on purpose as to you can watch the show without ever seeing EQG so that EQG can be its own thing. Because the catch about making EQG really canon to the show you have to have the exposition in case people coming in watching haven't watched any of the movies. And after 4 movies, that'd be a lot of exposition to go over. I do not think Sunset will come into the main show as a result of this, so any reunion with Celestia would have to take place in an EQG involved thing. So if you're worried about Starlight's appearance at all confirming completely any canon status for EQG, based on past trends I don't think it's something to worry about much. Barring a Sunset appearance episode in the main show in a Season 7 or even Season 8 episode it shouldn't mean much.

But enough about a few things that we could of talked about just knowing the synopsis for the thing how did the episode itself hold up? Well I've already stated that Dance Magic was my favorite of the 3, and Movie Magic was my least. So this turned out to be the middle-of-the-road one. I think the plot alone makes it more interesting and certainly some nice things make it better then the Scooby-Doo tribute Movie Magic. But obviously some things went down that the most interesting episode synopsis wise couldn't beat an episode that was just a dance competition episode for me.

For what it's worth the scenes of Starlight and Sunset together play out fine. We get to have them forge a friendship of their own between 2 characters that are often compared to each other. I don't think it's entirely unfair to compare the two because there are glaring similarities. But the differences are there that some degree of interaction could be interesting. I just don't think if this one episode could really share everything of the potential between the two because of course this isn't the only big part of the episode.

Because besides Starlight and Sunset's plot we also have Juniper seeking revenge and using that mirror. One note before I get to the episode's events for this. As the one who runs the genie blogs it is a little amusing that the mirror Juniper uses happens to be activated whenever she says something after "I Wish". I could easily make some sort of connection with genie magic in my thing. Though I decided to opt out of doing episode responses to the EQG Specials. And a magic mirror is not really something to make me do an exception. Only thing is I think if it happened where Genie Sci-Twi happened. While they were in the mirror they could of wished from Genie Sci-Twi to get themselves out soon after and then stop Juniper from there.

But anyway as for Juniper's character, I'm not really too sure how to feel. She was a Scooby-doo antagonist in the previous special but the events of that episode motivates her to doing something on par with the other characters that had to been reformed in some fashion in the EQG series. Though Sunset and Starlight both started out as villains, while Sci-Twi was only a straight-up villain when she was taken over by Midnight Sparkle. Though I suppose she is similar to Starlight in the events she does are caused by a rather petty thing. Starlight's course towards evil started with Sun Burst moving away and getting his Cutie Mark. While with Juniper, they just stopped her dreams of being the actor to play Daring Do in what would be an in-universe live action adaptation. Though Juniper's motive mostly seems she wants to be famous by any fashion and there's more ways to become an actor then decided to try to go as the starring role in your favorite book series. Sure it hurts to miss out on the role you wanted, but if Juniper wanted to be a famous actor she needs to build herself up to the role. Take auditions for other things, practice acting. They's all still high school students right? Just get as far as you can in a Drama class and sign-up for all the school plays to show your stuff. It just seems to be particularly more petty of a motive then a lot of the rest. Perhaps even more petty then Starlight's reasoning because we can understand if she had been lonely ever since Sun Burst left how that could effect her (Though it's still be nice of the show to explain that eventually). Perhaps Juniper was particularly obsessive with wanting to be Daring Do since she was such a big fan of the series, but again the mirror didn't show she just wanted to be Daring Do. It looked like she just wanted to be famous. And there are other ways Juniper could of tried to get there. If it was specifically focused on Daring Do that much, I'd think the mirror would of shown her in a Daring Do costume.

As a result of all this, Mirror Magic is a bit of a mixed bag It has some fun parts with Starlight and Sunset. But this being put in the same 22 minute plot as Juniper's thing made it incredibly hard to balance. I think this needed a little more time then it got. I'm not going to say it deserved to be the plot of EQG5 or anything, I feel making it 66 minutes would be a little too long. But I do think if it had been made a two-parter it may have gotten a much better pace then it did. Have the first 22 minutes to perhaps give a little more time of Sunset visiting Equestria and of course Starlight seeing the EQG world. And maybe a little bit of Juniper here and there. But then upon the 2nd part you could have all that time to go more into Juniper's motivations to get a more clear understanding of her character.

All-in-all it's an alright episode as is. But it being only 22 minutes does give that rushed feeling, perhaps even more so compared to some of the other endings of EQG related things. I think it's something that could of benefited with a 2nd part. I don't know if any of the specials will have anything that bodes for anything coming up for EQG unless Starlight plays a part. But I'll still be awaiting where they go next, the specials didn't really solve the cliffhanger of EQG4's ending after all.

Anyway, I don't know when Season 7 comes back. But that'll be when I share more episode thoughts. BTW I have seen the Australian releases for both Episodes 12 and 13 of the season. But I'm going by the same rule with all the others and waiting for the official US release before giving the episode response and thoughts. But I will say that of course Episode 13 of the season was no doubt a fantastic episode and can't wait to give my thoughts about. If you've seen it already yourself I think you know why. Right now all we have right now is some Summer stuff, and for me in particular I'll be going to Trotcon this weekend. So that's sure to be exciting
