    I cried. A lot

    Came back for the last three eps and damn if pony still doesn't have some emotional hooks still sunk in deep enough for it to really get me hard.

    Of all things 'Lyra + Bonbon' was what got the first tears to come. Lovely nod to the fandom and very much appreciated!

    Then the closing song and the book being shut had me in actual floods.

    Your next Faustian contract?

    So now that MLP is ending how about them DC Super Hero Girls. I had no idea this was even a thing outside of some vague awareness of terrible online animation, but Cellspex in her latest video pointed out this is a thing. Binged it pretty hard over the weekend and it's good!

    Not perfect though.

    Two years I have slumbered...

    200th episode though? 100 episodes since the absolutely sublime love letter that was Slice of Life? Yeah I kind of had to check that one out.

    It was alright.

    Spike having wings was a proper u wot mate. Don't know when that development happened, but it was likely as overdue as the acknowledgement that he's Twilight's younger brother which was deeply appreciated.

    An episode I actually want to talk about

    Spoilers for yesterday's episode in Health of Information follow.

    To take up space for those who haven't seen it yet. Hi, been awhile! Thanks for the follow and sorry I quit out on you arguably making it to still be so pretty pointless really. Well not to those still pissy about All for You who are still looking to have a go even now years later as they can sod right off.

    To quote one of my fics if you don't mind...

    She'd heard that the changelings had queens. Did that mean that they had princesses too? Trixie wondered. Possibly, she reckoned, but she did figure that a changeling that wanted to prey on her would prefer to do it up close and personal. The griffons had chieftains, the dragons were complicated, and the minotaurs practised a deeply suspicious form of rule called

Some general stuff on my new Chrysalis/Cadance story · 9:47am Sep 27th, 2013

So if you've not seen it yet well I have a new story up!

All for You

Not the fic I was planning to write next at all really, then neither was By Royal Command now I think about it, but after I got the idea of trying to make the Cadance/Chrysi ship work it just flowed out wonderfully. Heh, I'm never going to get round to writing those two fics I put all those hints and foreshadowing for in Random Elements and the sequel :pinkiehappy:

Quick note on the Randomverse (man, still chuffed people call it that as I really didn't plan for that to be a thing) I still consider it concluded for now. However after season 4 and a whole bunch more episodes to riff off then I've been considering I might think differently it, plus there a few trailing threads that could have something done with perhaps.

For now though it's going to be all Cadance/Chrysi for awhile as this is such an open ended concept it's just wonderful. I think I can run with this past Sombra, to the Equestrian Games and maybe even beyond. Will see how it goes. Progress is going solidly so far, people seem to like it, and the next chapter is about a third done already.

I still don't think it's enough of an AU to be considered one as there's really not going to be much of a shift in the status quo, but hey I can see the argument that it's directly contradicting part of what we saw happened in the show.

Bit of a warning I am going to be doing what some might consider weird stuff with the changelings as a race. My rule is as long as it's a take supported by the show then it's fine to play with, so I will be ignoring the comics (as much I loved the hell out of that arc) and that guide book which I'm almost certainly never going to read. Most fun part of writing I've always found is the world building so I hope you'll bare with me even if it goes against more common fanon views of what they're like. I don't think it's any where near Empress Rarity levels of crazy though so hopefully you don't need to be too worried :raritywink:

Thanks once more for reading my stuff, it is as always, massively appreciated.

Heh, been wondering when the next update would be. Never fond of favoriting a story until a few chapters in in case the writer decides he's no longer interested in continuing it. Loved By Royal Command and expecting to love this new story of yours as well. And I wouldn't worry too much about altering the changelings, they only had one episode so it isn't like every detail about them is cut into stone *never read the comics but I can't consider those canon as i'm sure some people do*. Good luck and looking forward to how your story goes. :pinkiehappy:

I'm glad to hear you plan on taking this idea far.

Chrysalis with enough love can beat Celestia... are they even going to need Twilight's help when Sombra comes knocking?
