MLP FiM would post Season 9, Epi 4 (the latest epi I have watched actually) on April 20, 2019
Clip show episodes of the series are being released, the first of which was released through the 9Now video-on-demand service in Australia on April 20, 2020. These episodes replace the words "Friendship is Magic" in the series logo with "Friendship is Forever" in the opening sequence, and they feature various clips of episodes from seasons one through nine alongside brand new animation.
Notably, one of Equestria’s most feared interrogators has earned dozens of confessions simply through hours of unrelenting whining.
Hi Rarity!
Incase you were wondering.
I love that Hardy isn't really in a hurry to stop Edina from whatever she is doing. Oh look, its the dumbass who did the thing I don't want to talk about back in chapter 18. He pleads for a deal and finally gives his name. Offended pride, really?
I like that Hardy stands under a street light and just takes time to think and reflect. It just makes him feel so real to me, it is very much something I would do. And even though the story had gotten a bit off track, what we believe to be the major plot point still stands and he reminds us.
Ruby Blue was dead, and still I didn't know why.
I tried to find something to focus on and picked one that seemed tame enough, until I realized the cucumber wasn’t actually a cucumber.
... What?
Hey are we sure there was only 7 crystals?
Stella’s secretary brushed a stray hair out of his eyes. “Miss Edina and Miss Zeta came to get me. I think Miss Edina was driving, so it shouldn’t take long to get—”
****
A tiny, mean part of me regretted keeping my driver from murdering Scarlet.
****
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Scarlet made a squeaky noise of resignation as he pulled a sparkly pink wallet from his bags. “Cash or check?”
You know Hardy, Queenie has some information that you REALLY need to shut up and listen to.... But sure, go bell the cat. That is going to be interesting. What is the worst that could happen? You die?
Oh hey look, the chapter ended. Lets have a peek at the comments, 30
“Huh. I’ve got a big friend I may try that on the next time I’ve got a few drinks in him.” I blew a breath through my nose. “May be worth a laugh down at the bar.”
... please, chessie, I'm begging you...
“We like this. Please, meat... do not cooperate! We are hungry and would much appreciate a simple meal without all the fuss!”
Every character in this story is disturbing. Except Cuddles. Cuddles is too pure. She makes up for this lack by coming FROM a disturbing place.
Ruby Blue was dead, and still I didn't know why.
To be fair, this was one big side-track. Cosmo himself didn’t kill her, and in fact had nothing to do with it. Cosmo was just in the way of further investigation. I'm thinking his BOSS is the one who really knows. Whoever that is.
“Cutesy gangster crap?”
Those words do NOT belong next to each other.
“We have not needed the dance to operate for some years now, Detective Hardy.”
What?! Why did you make me do it all those times?!
“It was so entertaining to watch.”
heh. HehHEHheh.
-GM, master of heights.
... you dont think Swifts pureness is disturbing? Dont worry, She's actually fucked up herself... it just hasn't manifested yet.
The snippets from The Scholar and other minutiae are probably my favorite part of this story, though the close second and third are your descriptive prowess and the beautiful pacing of this story.
I am enjoying myself immensely; something I find difficult to do with fiction these days. You've hooked me just as well as Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series did, or Margaret Weiss and Tracy Hickman's Dragonlance universe.
You have not disappointed yet, and I don't think you have it in you to disappoint in the future either.
Moving on with bated breath and an excited giggle or five.
Chapter 21: "Can You Tell Me How to Get..." -m eh, nothing important.
“Kid, we just set the house on fire. We can put it out, but first we've got to walk in and convince the crazy son of the moon who owns the place to give up the keys before it burns to the ground around him.”
The foreshadowing of shit being burnt down...
Still waiting on a father for the egg...
The one hard-and-fast rule of Equestrian police interrogations is that the interrogating officer is not allowed to cause physical discomfiture to the subject.
Physical discomfiture yes, but the Detrot Police Department Manual is curiously silent on the subjects of emotional and mental discomfiture...
Oh sig, you are endlessly amusing. The rest of the comment is really just to long. But I'm going to admit it here that I am the prankster pony of the gift exchange and the one who bought you that baby alligator.
ProfCharles I was actually expecting this was all just to get Cosmo to give up the dirt on the law firm ... because my money says they're behind the murder, one way or another. Cosmo's a crazy bastard, but I think he was telling the truth when he said he didn't kill Ruby Blue.

Thanks to each and every one of you, by the way. Praise is the fuel that keeps our eldritch engine of words turning.

just finished reading up to this chapter (being the last one available at time of this post) and i have to say this is genius. honestly the writing makes you feel like it's a detective novel but with a perfect mixture of the MLP universe. Every character that has more that a few seconds face time you get a feel for. and honestly Swift has stolen my heart. she is so cute, naive, yet with her own quirks (like her newfound fondness for meat) and every time she gets to shine it just makes her even more loveable. i await the next chapter praying for it to come out a Swift-ly as possible without hurting the genius that is the story.

Rarity?
I could see her doing well as a Detective.
I strode out the front door to the school yard, wher a middling-sized crowd of ponies was milling around in the middle of the street. Scarlet and Swift sat together,
ahem
Meanwhile, Swift recapped the fight for Scarlet, who was watching her zip in excited little circles, making shooting noises with her mouth. She was practically dancing.
I dragged myself up and pushed my hat back on my head. Swift and Scarlet were laughing over a calendar full of kittens on the lobby wall while Taxi sat in her meditation pose, rear legs drawn under herself.
So much daww.
Crystal drives eh? Interesting. Perhaps Sombra had a thing for technology. Or maybe he just ate the technology and became a robot/pony cyborg hybrid monster. That would be cool.
I liked the little joyride you had there with Edina. Also pegasi plans? yay!
I have to wonder what Cosmo will be doing, i doubt he's just sitting back and letting his little operations fall to pieces.

I don't want to know, do I?

She's not just a pretty face, you know.

"We found his screaming most interesting, though we did see something else that we feel you would find very intriguing elsewhere-”
Sorry, no time to go on sightseeing tours.
So, I'm getting the feeling that this will turn out to be something that Hardy really did want to see after all.
Ruby Blue was dead, and still I didn't know why.
I... I had clean forgotten about this.
ProfCharles Oog, that's the problem with writing a really LONG story. You've got to do very regular recaps of the important stuff or people just plum forget. That makes shit EVEN LONGER.

True. Doesn't help that the investigation has diverged so wildly. Not that I'm saying that's a bad thing.
Oh, THAT was because we made Cosmo a deranged threat rather than a comic middle manager like he was designed in our first pass. So it... drew things out. Quite a bit. But it did let us go around building the world, at least.

eeeeeee!
I'm startin' to ship Hardy and Heart, fair warning... anything that can make his shoulders relax is okay in my book
at Edina's wild joyride, and thank goodness the car wasn't hurt! Edina just lights up the screen. If this was ever a movie, she should be adorable and just a complete unrepentant monster
Wow, I love this so much
Applejinx Why does everyone seem to love the tiny and deranged ones so much? Oh well, Edina is just a ton of fun to write. Every time she's on screen, I'm having a laugh. I almost wish she'd been more than a secondary character. I may use her again at some point. I do love her.

the fun facts page keeps showing me dice... its like it knows me or something.
