I decided to append the glossary to the end of the story. Turns out it's longer than any of the chapters.
It will remain the last chapter even as new chapters come out. As I recall, that created some issues with quoting comments or something like that in The Skyla Pseudonym, so be aware of that if you want to comment on the glossary itself.
Enjoy!

ThursdayThe Shape of the Ship8 comments · 156 views
Still working on the glossary and diagrams. It turned out to be a much bigger job than I'd anticipated, what with having to get the 3D model into much better shape than the "noodling around" stage it's been in for years. The ability to produce illustrations specific to fantasy/steampunkish airship equipment will be worth it, I think. I might as well include other terms pertinent to the story,

TuesdayDo I have Horrible Timing, or What?23 comments · 275 views
I’m trying to spin a fun little air-pirate fantasy here, and on the day the chapter where my characters have a little “debate” about swordplay releases, some lunatic with a katana goes on a murderous rampage in London. In order to keep the comment section of the chapter (mostly) free of things unrelated to pretty pastel ponies, I'm directing people to this post, where they can discuss, debate, or

Captain Blackmane visits Surprise, and finds her very familiar.
(Nebula's plan, despite lacking a foremast, is very close to Surprise's.) -

Posting two chapters today because they pretty much are one story beat.

What can we say ?
Truly, society employed artisans, having apprenticed for the best part of their lives, for even small things.
Today? Just bung it out of a factory, produced by the lowest paid workers.

And get it designed by AI, so you don't need artists at all! What a world.
I would love a hand-sculpted Twilight Sparkle figurine, but I suppose I'd have to do it myself. (In my copious spare time, of course.) Hmn... bas-relief in white limestone would look good, I think.
There's already one of teen-aged Spike:

Is that cylinder clear wax or some kind of rock? I misread the inscription behind Twilight as lièvre so I thought Are they blind? That is totally a ram, not a hare!. On third or fourth look, I guess it says chèvre. Good enough. Bouk would have better.

Even in the modern day patience and passion can do incredible things.

Yep, I checked the other pictures, and it's chèvre. The Louvre sometimes has funky labelling. They had a broken board of The Royal Game of Ur, or the Game of Twenty Squares, and it was just labeled jeu. Not very helpful.
The seal is made from chalcedony, a quartz / moganite mixture and very hard.

Those are amazing! Thanks for the link. Still, the guy who carved that seal didn't even have a magnifying glass, let alone a microscope! Damned good artist, astounding eyesight!

You're welcome. On a related tangent. If you're interested in people keeping traditional skills alive I also recomend Business Insider's Still Standing playlist.

Amazing work.
I loved the micro reading glasses!
What creature did he commission that from?
