I recall a gag line in a certain episode mentioning a particular pony's favorite balloon color. I thought it'd be fun to have some allusion to that.
My Little Pony Friendship is Magic's finale airs in the US tomorrow night / tonight. It's already aired in other countries and various versions of it leaked by other means as well. I've been keeping up with the leaks, so instead of watching on TV, I buy the episodes online on Google Play.
After I stopped hanging out with the Fallout Equestria IRC crew, I really haven't been drawing much pony anymore. That doesn't mean that I stopped liking it.
It feels strange knowing that the show is almost over.
