I LOVED the new episode. I loved the whole story within a story plot theme they had going there. Daring Doo was awesome as well, I too sense many fan fics and fan art based on her very soon. Pinkie Pie referencing Spiderman was hilarious. Overall, one of the best episodes of Season 2.
As for the Derpy thing, those trolls are saying that they're making fun of mentally disabled people. Have they even SEEN Ed, Edd, n' Eddy, Family Guy... or SOUTH PARK?!?!
I hate political correctness. I will forever love Derpy with her original name; just as I will always say "Merry Christmas" and not "Happy Holidays."

Equestria Daily recently had a Mock Wars thing going on (as I'm sure most of you may have known). While I can't draw for beans, I am more proficient on writing so here's what my Mock War OC is:
NAME: Red Sky
PONY TYPE: Pegasus
GENDER: Stallion (Male)
COAT COLOR: Maroon
MANE COLOR: Dark Brown
CUTIE MARK: A Band-Aid with Wings
Serving with the 127th Airborne Division, also known as the "Dive Bombers", Red Sky acts as the Combat Medic for his squad. He was chosen for two reasons, his flight speed and his knowledge on medicine. This is also what earned him the nick-name "Hot Potato" by his fellow Pegasai.
FUN FACT: Red Sky serving in the 127th and that he's a Combat Medic together serve as a tribute to my brother; whom is serving in the U.S. Army as a Combat Medic and is scheduled (Not sure when excatly) to be deployed to Afghanistan.

I'm also currently drafting my first FiM fan fic, a Humor/Romance story with Applejack and Soarin' as the main characters.
I'm also considering writing a crossover story between FiM and the Scott Pilgrim series. Which Ramona takes Scott, Kim, and Stephen to Equestria via Subspace. XD
