    Goodbye Toby Keith, American Legend

    Undoubtedly, if Toby Keith had ever done a tour in Equestria, Applejack would have been right there in the front row, whoopin' and a hollerin' as loud as possible. I think every high school in the US had a proud friendly guy like this, and we raise our red Solo cups in tribute to his last beer run. Salute!

    New Year 2024- New Projects 1939

    Still working on everything else this year, but I've got a sequel/prequel to Equestria: 1940 in the works, both a series of short stories set in the 1940 world up to the Equestrian moon project, and a war story showing some behind the scenes details about the war. For a little country the size of Ohio in the northern Atlantic, it has a lot of potential. Explosive, mostly. Snippets after the

    Quick survey on Letters From a Little Princess Monster

    Summary: I have two more chapters done in Letters. Post them now or post them after I'm done with the arc in two more chapters or so? Upvote the comment that matches your opinion. Including a snippet just to let you know I'm not addicted to cliffhangers⁽*⁾. Oh, and I blame Estee for what happens to Green Grass. She's the one who came up with the idea of his special talent. It made me think.

The Letters Are Coming! The Letters Are Coming! · 5:40am Jul 19th, 2016

Attention editors (and interested passers-by): The six-chapter arc for Letters From a Little Princess Monster, Three Day Test, is now past the drafting stage and to the normal stage where I would publish except I’m smarter now and will wait for my editors to point out all of the violations of natural law and abominations of grammar I’ve created. So if you’re an editor, you can jump to the link I sent you previously and sdtart corrickting. If not, you can take a peek at my Kibbitz section below:

Letters From a Little Princess Monster
Three Day Promise - Part Six


It was a good job. It was an ordinary job. It was the anchor on the Canterlot ship of state, a voice of reason in a world of insanity, and a cup of tea when ruffled feathers needed settling. In short, it was a Kibbitz, and to the unicorn who held the position of what he liked to think of as Whatever You Need, Your Highness, Majordomo Kibbitz fit that job description like a smooth round horn into a perfectly lathed round hole. When the young filly Princess Mia Amore Cadenza had been discovered and the castle staff had suffered from a bad case of hyperventilating vapors when Celestia had brought her into the castle, it was young Kibbitz who had organized her room, arranged for proper caring staff for the adolescent alicorn, and had actually purchased a crib for her out of his own funds. When Princess Celestia had grown distant several years ago and began to act in a peculiar fashion, it was Kibbitz who calmed the nervous castle staff by lying his horn off, with a particularly intricate and convoluted fib told to cover the abrupt extension of Night when Princess Luna had returned.

Of course, Celestia had set things straight upon her return to the castle that morning, leaving Kibbitz the unenviable task of providing equal housing for her sister with no notice at all. It was a task he had handled through several hours of sheer panic, ruthless delegation, tea, and the unexpected bonus of the various Nocturne clans of Canterlot showing up with the entirety of her missing furniture⁽*⁾, which they had supposedly stored for a thousand years awaiting her return.
(*) He was still a little suspicious of the bassinette’s authenticity, despite the silver chasing and the undeniable lunar cutie mark on it.

Afternoon court was going well today, even with the unexpected arrival of the Princess of the Moon to add gravitas to the proceedings. Three alicorns were about as much as his heart could stand, although there was a tiny little sliver of smug pleasure he held closely at the recent rumor he had heard this morning. Princess Cadence was going to use the crib Kibbitz had bought for her for her own foal, which was due in just a few months or whenever it decided to arrive, as it most probably was an alicorn too, and as such, obeyed whatever schedule he or she decreed.

Currently, the Princess of Love was soaking her forehooves in ice water while contributing to the ongoing three-way discussion (with snacks) over various decisions of royal importance put forth by a quite compliant group of petitioners who were (in order) intimidated by the former Nightmare Moon (snacking on a small pile of chocolate biscuits), humbled by Princess Celestia (working on her third piece of double-double vanilla cake) and awed by Princess Cadence (on the crumbs of her fifth tray of whatever the kitchen could shovel in her direction to fuel the furnace of a hungry pregnant alicorn).

It was a comforting sight to watch while enjoying the warm sun coming through the stained glass window at his back, which made Kibbitz not be surprised at all when all three alicorns looked up abruptly at once, trembling with anticipation. Experienced reflexes honed to a razor edge threw him into a long, shallow dive behind a bench just moments before all Tartarus broke loose.

All three alicorns moved, in a hail of shed crowns and shoes as they abruptly bolted directly south in an unstoppable stampede of wings and feathers. It was debatable whether Celestia or Luna was the first one through the heavy wrought-iron stained glass window, moving so quickly that the wreckage and powdered glass scattered over a long slice of the castle outbuildings, but Cadence stumbled while getting up, sending the shallow hoof-soaking tub full of ice skittering across the throne room floor before kicking off her rear shoes and taking off in pursuit of her aunts.

Before the thunderous sound of departing alicorns and falling glass had faded, a blast of rainbow light poured through the gaping hole where the southern windows of the throne room used to be, stopping the beginning babble of panicked ponies dead in its tracks. Kibbitz stood up from behind the bench without even looking over his shoulder at the massive hole in the wall or the source of the rainbow light. He held up one hoof, cleared his throat, and announced, “Court is adjourned for the afternoon.”

He tried not to look at the silver shoe embedded into the stone wall right about where his head had been, but he did take a quick glance out of the massive hole in the side of the throne room to see three colorful streaks of light headed toward Ponyville, along with a fourth light in the sky much like a star, descending to where they appeared to be headed.

Kibbitz heaved a sigh. It was probably another alicorn.

So the story I had so much feelz reading through is back. A true biatch when I wanted to rush it but I would be lying if I said that I hadn't enjoyed evry bit of it. So Gimme!

Do we see if Cadance has a disguise on her yet? She became the leader of the Changelings, I still am madly curious how did it work out and if them changed due to this new relation. Bug Cadance? Pink Crystalings?

4100802 this is a very good question. and danged if i might need to archive binge yet again to refresh on things.

4100818 In my headcannon to this, out of wishful thinking and explaining why we haven't seen it yet:

The changeling will change their colour palette over time to pink. it can be only their eyes and back sells, it can be the whole body chitin changing pigmentation to shade of Ca(n)dy and the possibility of replacing their wing shape to those of butterflies. However those changes could only work if regularily exposed to Candance's presence;
Changelings in Equestria would show any signs of changes only in a few years, Those settled in the Crystal Empire would start changing eye and backshell colour by now, those who chose to live in the Capital would be completely pink by now and those exposed on a daily basis to their monarch [servants, guards, the occasional bug minister or two...] would have their wing shape changed to that of butterflies. Maybe have the fly wings fall off due to love radiation and let the new grow out afterwards?

As for Cadance - just give her a chagelingfication. Maybe let it come with some unique powers that even Chrysalis didn't have. Note, that the changes are already done and she has a disguise as for any trips outside the Empire, heck, maybe even outside the Palace or her private rooms. Maybe all the changelings also had changed and are wearing some species-wide disguise to conceve that and protect Cadance from beeing called the next Chrysalis by the xenofobic nobility of Canterlot. There are always some pony extremists which would attack her becuase of the Changeling nature.

Another viable theory is that Cadance is well aware of her possibily of merging with her bugs, she just stopped the process because of reasons. Or only she got attuned to their species without them attunening to her.

4100829 Who knows, but either way, the fellows are quite a fun little species to speculate on. But thank you for a neat view on this.

Ah. No one saw fit to tell Kibbitz about Twilight. To be fair, I can see why; the last he needs is trying to arrange the affairs of yet another alicorn who refuses to even stay where he can see her. Still, I can see him being a bit miffed at not being kept in the loop.

4100838 ^^ My pleasure. It's what I do.
