The new series is called My Little Pony: Forever Friendship. I was very anxious watching the live stream on Twitter.

More money. More recognition. More followers. A larger home, a busier schedule and an ever-growing list of accomplishments to prove that life is moving in the right direction. I understand the appeal of some of those things.

I rebuilt it around Roots Bedrock inside a Docker container, with the SQLite database carried along with the site itself. The end result is that I can deploy the whole thing in one place, without rebuilding my… ## [The Elder Scrolls & Logocosmology](https://mattology.us/essay/elder-scrolls-logocosmology) _2026-05-17 · Journal - Mattology_ There are few fictional settings that lend themselves to logocosmology as naturally as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and the broader The Elder Scrolls universe. Most fantasy worlds feel authored. Tamriel often feels discovered. Many fictional settings operate like stage plays. The world exists only where the narrative points its camera. Cities wait in suspended… ## [The Personal Website as a Worldbuilding Engine](https://mattology.us/essay/personal-website-worldbuilding-engine) _2026-05-12 · Journal - Mattology_ There is a point where a personal website stops feeling like a container and starts feeling like a place. At first, it seems simple. A blog holds posts. A library holds books, films, games and music. A bookmarks page holds links. A timeline holds events. A moodboard holds images. A guestbook holds messages. Each section… ## [If you feel numb, hit something.](https://lonelypony.substack.com/p/if-you-feel-numb-hit-something) _2026-05-11 · Lindsey Beth Meyers · Lonely Pony_ whimsy + violence will make you feel again ## [Logocosmology](https://mattology.us/essay/logocosmology) _2026-05-03 · Journal - Mattology_ There is a quiet assumption that runs beneath most discussions of fiction, theology, and imagination. It says that what is real is what exists here, within reach, measurable and present within the rules of our universe. Everything else is treated as a kind of shadow. Stories are inventions. Imagined places are empty scaffolds. Even when… ## [Monthly Round-up #5](https://lonelypony.substack.com/p/monthly-round-up-5) _2026-05-02 · Lindsey Beth Meyers · Lonely Pony_ moody + marauding ## [Unfortunate News Regarding Under Rolling Stars](https://mattology.us/general/unfortunate-news-regarding-rolling-stars) _2026-04-26 · Journal - Mattology_ This is a post I ve been sitting with for a while.

Low-effort, mass-produced, quantity-over-quality output that floods the market and drowns out anything actually worth using. And if you spend enough time in WordPress land, you know exactly what I m talking about.… ## [Story of the Orange](https://lonelypony.substack.com/p/story-of-the-orange) _2026-04-10 · Lindsey Beth Meyers · Lonely Pony_ dying, living, dying again ## [Why Drag Races Should Be Illegal](https://mattology.us/thought/drag-races-illegal) _2026-03-30 · Journal - Mattology_ I ll be upfront: I didn t care about drag racing before last week. I like cars. I respect speed. But drag racing? It wasn t my thing. Then I watched a short video explaining what actually goes into a single Top Fuel run, and now I can t stop thinking about it. And not in a good way.… ## [Skyrim Ruined Video Games For Me](https://mattology.us/general/skyrim-ruined-video-games) _2026-03-11 · Journal - Mattology_ I want to be upfront about something: Skyrim is not a perfect game. Not even close. It is buggy. It is full of plot holes. The mechanics are shallow compared to the RPGs that came before it, and the writing ranges from serviceable to downright inconsistent. There are entire questlines that feel abandoned halfway through,… ## [Existential Dread](https://mattology.us/thought/existential-dread) _2026-03-02 · Journal - Mattology_ Last night I watched Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die. I can say it was a fun movie, even if it gets a little ridiculous at times, yet it left me with a lingering sense of dread that I cannot quite shake. ## [Left 4 Dead 2: Why I Still Play It](https://mattology.us/thought/left-4-dead-2-still-play) _2026-02-23 · Journal - Mattology_ Left 4 Dead 2 is one of those games that never really leaves your rotation. It just sits there, patient, waiting for the moment you get that itch. The specific, undeniable need to shoot a lot of zombies with friends. Or, in my case, without them. ## [My Favorite Characters In My Little Pony](https://mattology.us/general/favorite-characters-little-pony) _2026-02-23 · Journal - Mattology_ Everyone has their favorites in a fandom, and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is no exception. The show has a surprisingly deep roster of characters, and over the years the fandom has taken many of them in directions the show itself never explored. That s a big part of what I love about this fandom. ## [On Being a Brony in 2026: Finding the Middle Ground](https://mattology.us/essay/brony-2026-finding-middle-ground) _2026-02-14 · Journal - Mattology_ I need to talk about something that s been bothering me for a while. It s probably going to be controversial, though I don t think it should be. But here we are. The word brony has been poisoned. The Spectrum Everyone in the fandom exists somewhere on a spectrum. Let me describe the endpoints, because I think… ## [What I Would Love to See for the Future of My Little Pony](https://mattology.us/thought/would-love-see-future-little-pony) _2026-02-13 · Journal - Mattology_ I ve already written about my predictions for Generation 6 in an earlier post. To add onto that perspective: I think G6 is probably going to lean heavily into slice-of-life storytelling rather than the serialized narrative many fans hope for. As much as I wish it would take a more serialized direction, and despite my understanding… ## [Where Do I See Myself In Ten Years?](https://mattology.us/general/see-ten-years) _2026-02-13 · Journal - Mattology_ I m thirty years old now. I didn t do very much with my twenties, and I m hoping to do better with my next decade. So where do I see myself at forty? Let s talk about it. ## [My Favorite Characters & People](https://mattology.us/general/favorite-character-person-favorite-things) _2026-02-11 · Journal - Mattology_ Everyone has those characters, or real people, who just stick with you. The ones who shaped how you see stories, music, or even yourself. I ve been thinking about mine lately, and rather than trying to force them into a numbered list (because honestly, how do you compare a unicorn to a bassist?), I m going with… ## [Inspiration Overload](https://mattology.us/thought/inspiration-overload) _2026-02-09 · Journal - Mattology_ I have a collection in Raindrop.io labeled inspiration. It contains hundreds of websites. Maybe thousands. I stopped counting years ago. Every week, sometimes more, I would sit down at my desk and browse. Looking at portfolios, personal sites, agency showcases, design studios. Hunting for something, anything, that would make me feel that spark. When I… ## [My Predictions for My Little Pony “Generation 6”](https://mattology.us/essay/predictions-little-pony-generation-6) _2026-02-07 · Journal - Mattology_ I m putting Generation 6 in quotes for a reason, and I ll get to that. This theory is going to be polarizing and potentially controversial, if it gets any attention at all. Here it is: I believe Hasbro is bringing back Friendship is Magic. Now, before anyone jumps down my throat, let me be crystal clear… ## [A Decade of Distraction](https://mattology.us/thought/decade-distraction) _2026-02-07 · Journal - Mattology_ I first discovered web development in 2008, when a friend in middle school showed me the website he built using FreeWebs. This was back when all sites there were on a path. They wouldn t add subdomains for another year or so. The moment he left, I made an account and created a website called D&R s… ## [The Light at the End of the Tunnel](https://mattology.us/thought/light-end-tunnel) _2026-02-05 · Journal - Mattology_ I m going to be honest. My life hasn t been easy. I ve had my fair share of difficulty and struggle. I won t claim it s been the worst. There are definitely people out there who have it harder than I do, and I ve been blessed to have some of the things I have. But it s not easy… ## [Future-Proofing My Site by Ditching the Database Server](https://mattology.us/essay/future-proofing-site-ditching-database-server) _2026-02-04 · Journal - Mattology_ I recently made one of the biggest behind-the-scenes improvements to my website since it went live. It s not flashy, it doesn t change the design, and visitors will never notice it. But from a long-term maintenance and portability standpoint, it is a massive win. For as long as WordPress has existed, it has depended on MySQL,… ## [New Project Announcement: A Meld:Verse Story in Development](https://mattology.us/general/new-project-announcement-meldverse-story-development) _2026-02-02 · Journal - Mattology_ I m excited to share that I ve been working on a new longfic set in what I m officially calling the Meld:Verse: the alternate timeline universe where Earth and Equus merged. Two Different Visions of the Same Concept First, let me be clear: this new story and Under Rolling Stars are not just separate. They re entirely contradictory.… ## [Why I Use The Gutenberg Editor](https://mattology.us/thought/use-gutenberg-editor) _2026-01-30 · Journal - Mattology_ There s a reason most developers hate Gutenberg, and it s the same reason I love it. In a previous post, Aspirations, I wrote about the paradox of being technically skilled at web development while having no desire to be known as a developer. The technical skills exist to serve my writing and art: they re the scaffolding,… ## [What Would I Do If I Won The Lottery?](https://mattology.us/thought/would-lottery) _2026-01-29 · Journal - Mattology_ I use the Jetpack plugin for WordPress, though not for the reason most people probably expect. I am not really interested in tying my self hosted site to WordPress.com. What I care about is the Jetpack app on my phone. It gives me a sort of continuity with my site, a way to stay connected… ## [Why Furries and Bronies Seem to Hate Each Other](https://mattology.us/essay/furries-bronies-seem-hate) _2026-01-27 · Journal - Mattology_ I was recently lurking in a rather large furry Discord server. I do this occasionally because I am, for lack of a better term, furry‑curious. I collect a bit of the art, I follow some of the creators, and I find the culture interesting in the same way I once found brony culture interesting before…
