Lol what do I win?

The episode was good, but I do enjoy how Hasbro's plans backfired on them anyway.

They made the wedding episode to promote the new "Cadence" pony toys they wanted to bring out.

But since the episode aired, all people want to know is "Are you going to make a Chrysalis toy?"

Moral of the story Hasbro? Don't try and PREDICT what people will like or latch on to. Although I guess you're welcome to keep promoting the toys to little girls who don't have their own income and who aren't half as obsessed at the 20something market. I suppose your high-paid marketing execs know best.

In other news, I move out of my mom's house and into my own place on Wednesday. It is.... very stressful for me.

I want to draw so badly but I have such art block I can't even explain to you guys.

Admittedly they have been pretty good about being hands off with the series so far. Ignoring cadence I haven't noticed much meddling.

I know, which is why I was so disappointed when I heard about this episode. All things considered it could've been much worse though.

Eeyup, they would've been better off keeping Cadence away from the alicorn arena like Lauren wanted to do xD
First rule of business, know your customer base.

I know right! Then 70% of my problems with her wouldn't exist! Well, Hasbro hasn't shown any real competancy with their side of the MLP franchise at all so I guess we can't expect much from them.

I know right?! I would think that they WANT to make money but apparently not.
