Totally Legit Recap: "A Rockhoof and a Hard Place" Season 8 Episode 21

DWK

As soon as the show ends I'll probably quit youtube and do something else.

Oh, and the most enjoyable part of each video is your commentary and you just being you. So you do what you need to do. You'll only make a better product that everyone will enjoy more, especially you.

Waldo

Thanks for making all of our lives a little less grey and giving all us spergs something to look forward to.

I agree 100% on both things. Yes, this was about suicide. And yes, the MsPaint-related stuff is a very optional nice-to-have for me. As always I had a lot of fun watching your recap.

Why do my posts keep disappearing? T_T I already tried responding twice.

Applestone

I agree with you 100%. Yes, that episode totally was about suicide. And yes, the MsPaint-thing is an optional nice-to-have for me. This recap was just as awesome as the others. Btw: If MLP really stops after 9 seasons, do you have plans for afterwards? Maybe recap the old episodes? Or will you choose another franchise to make fun of?

A Rockhoof and a Hard Place wasn't about suicide like how Tanks for the Memories wasn't about losing loved ones ;)

Jack Ponder

The through and merciless deconstruction of this episode’s stupidity was so satisfying. Kudos to you and all that you do.

Harmless Kitten

I know I'm echoing what everyone else has already said, but that doesn't make it any less true: if you're not enjoying it, don't do it. And we want you to enjoy it! Not because we get something out of it, but because your mental health matters. Do what's best for you, and we'll be happy with it regardless. Also, this episode was hilarious.

Applestone

I agree 100%. Yes, the episode was definitely about suicide. And yes, the MsPaint stuff is an optional nice-to-have for me (though if it stays for 2 frames instead of 2 seconds I tend to ignore it and rewatch it later because immersion and all that). I had to pause the video multiple times to laugh.

Bob Hershey

I did feel a nostalgic vibe with this recap...like the kind of thing you did with Season 6. I love the 1000-hours-in-MS-Paint stuff you do for the videos, but it isn't the prime reason these videos are a success...it's that drunken rambling autist who's commentary contains more wisdom and relevance that most of the analysis community put together (you can't spell "analysis" without "anal").

Bob Hershey

Gee, I wonder what you could be referencing with that comment! 😋

ZekeStaright

Do what feels right for you man, we love these vids & you should love making em however you want.

Tradley

Parts of me does miss the more regularly released stuff you do. But either way you go, I'll be there ready to watch it. ;)

DWK

>The good editing is just the icing on the autism cake. Yeah, that's what I lost sight of. The whole reason I started making these was to talk about ponies. The visuals were just there as some supplementary material. At some point they became the part I was putting the most work into, which is never what I wanted to do, and I don't think most viewers really gave a shit. I went waaaaaaay lighter on the edits for this video and nobody even noticed, which just confirms to me that I was putting 90% of my effort into something that no one cares about. It was faster and more fun to do and I didn't get bored and frustrated with it.

DWK

I'm strictly talking about the visual portion of the program here. I enjoy attempting to be clever, so if that makes me a tryhard then I'm a tryhard, whatever that means. I'll finish Rainbow Rocks when people stop nagging me about it. Nothing kills my motivation faster than demands. All I can say is that if you want it to happen, don't bring it up. Not trying to sound like an asshole, I'm just telling you the truth.

Rayne Blanc

Dude, if you quit having fun with it, it's not gonna be fun for us either. I'm glad you caught yourself before it ruined your work, because with or without the insane amount of effort you've put in this year, the shit's hilarious and easily the best fan series in years. I'd rather see a quick rant on each episode than you working so hard on each one that you only have time for half a season before the next one comes out. I'm here for your fast-paced, no-fucks-given humor, not your attempts at High Quality™ lol

I watch your videos for the great jokes. The good editing is just the icing on the autism cake. Your recent episode was one of your best, but don’t burn yourself over it.

BatwingCandlewaxxe

Dude, seriously, they were definitely more fun when you were just yelling at the screen and not trying to be super-clever. Not that I didn't like the super-clever stuff, but they just felt a little tryhard. It's more fun to watch when it's more fun to make, is all I'm sayin'. Oh, and fucking finish Rainbow Rocks already dammit.

Blaise C.

hey, whatever makes you happy do more of that so it doesn't feel like such a slog to you. I find you videos Hilarious and your humor is just the right kind of twisted to make me laugh. best of luck and I hope you have fun with your next twisted, marvelous creation.

I always figured Trixie shooting herself after Glimglam turned her down would stand as the most blatant suicide parallel this show would ever get, but then this episode came out and I now stand corrected. Keep up the good work, you're probably the best content creator still in this fandom.

What matters most, as always, is that you're able to keep delivering your signature style without burning out. I imagine most of us still enjoy picking apart your sillier frames along with everything else, but it's as you said...the core experience isn't affected if you fall back on the editing a bit. After all, with all that stuff weighing you down, how are you ever going to get to the other get to the other si-ide? He-ey-ee. ^_~

Well if it makes you feel any better, I love the shit out of your long-hard editing. I have a habit of rewatching episodes because there's always something I can find that's new, and I think it fun. But keep it real bro, you won't stop me from loving your work
