    Droppin' By

    Hello, I was in the neighborhood and had just realized that my last blog post was a bit of a downer, given that it was around the time of my Grandma's passing and funeral. I think I oughta leave you folks with something a bit more upbeat or at least something neutral.

    And Now, A Newsletter

    Huh, back in July I said I oughta talk more around here. It's now the day after Christmas and I have not, in fact, talked more around here.

    So, I'll give you the rundown on what I've been up to since then. Warning, it gets a little long in talking about last summer's vacation and about a new fixation I have.

Much More Positive Stuffs · 4:42am Aug 3rd, 2014

First off, I'm feeling much better than last week. The worst of it is over, and all I have is this annoying lingering soreness that is getting less and less sore with each day. My CT scan didn't find any kidney stones, though, but there's still the possibility that one could have evaded the scan. Bah, I just don't like not knowing the source of any pain I have. XP

But, anyway, I'm getting back in the groove of writing RFD (working on next chapter, yay!) and drawing for the Tommy blog. Speaking of which, I'd like to show you folks some of my favorite answers from the blog, be they funny or adorable or both (though your mileage may vary).

1. "How did you get your cutie mark?"

So, how'd he receive his cutie mark? Participating in a fundraiser, of course! Of course, Tommy mentions that he kind of went bonkers and scared some of his classmates. That kid kind of let his newfound power get into his head; nowadays he has more control.

2.


Don't know the reason for this one, but it was funny, and introduced one of Tommy's friends. Her name's Flora Peace, who deals with relaxation techniques, and is much less accustomed to weird than Tommy is.

3. "Tell us about your friends!"

Along with Flora, we have our newspaper friend Bluejinx, and a pair of energetic theater twins named Cirrus (mare) and Nimbus (stallion). These quirky characters pop up on occasion in the blog, just to enhance some of the answers.

4. Is a Tommy X a pie sister a thing What if tommy x maud was a thing

Figures someone would ship two characters that had party pony siblings. Huh. I don't really like Maud all that much, but creating their "chemistry" here was fun. ;)

5. Tommy, there's this mare, Rarity, and she seems amazing! You should totally go on a date with her. I mean, if she agreed... I think you two would have fun. Her little dragon friend won't mind. :D

I guess it was only a matter of time before someone suggested Rarity. Getting her color right was frustrating, but I love how she turned out. She was also the first of the Mane Six to have an appearance on the blog.

6.

Of course, Pinkie was not very far behind. It was inevitable that these two would meet, though it was more about Rarity in this scene than Cheese (in fact, Pinkie didn't know that Tommy is Cheese's brother).

7. So what do cowspies do when they meet pirate ninjas?

A silly imagination-based game that these two would play when they were little (based on a combination of Cheese's interest in the Western genre and Tommy's interest in spies). And pirate ninjas... they make me think of The Princess Bride. XP

8.



Somebody turned Tommy into an alicorn... and then another person (or perhaps the same one; I dunno) suggested this. I enjoyed this silliness immensely.

9. As a colt, did you expect your talent to have anything to do with business/money?

Let's be honest here... nopony expected Tommy's destiny.

10.


Colt Tommy is too much fun to draw. Not to mention he's just too cute.

11. What if Tommy had become the excitable silly one, and Cheese the mopey grump? (A role reversal, if you will.)

I love seeing "what-could-have-beens." Though, I do wonder how Pinkie would have gotten her key...

12. So have you ever thought of getting a marefriend or just want to be single? :) (p.s I'm new to your blog so sorry for the silly question)

This is the point where I decided, "I wonder who Tommy would be shipped with." I got a few interesting answers so far. and I have a few obligatory ship names for those answers.

13.


That forelock curl remains fun to draw, and I pity the fool who leaves it out when drawing him.

14. He should go on a date with Princess Twilight Sparkle! That would totally happen. Somehow. They could use geometry, while playing a billiards game, unless they felt super awkward about it? Maybe they could discuss literature.

Because I love how adorable Twilight was in this pic. ^^

15. What if there's an alternate universe where Tommy is a ghost hunter?

...I don't even know why this person had this idea, but it was so funny I couldn't resist.

16. We need more female!Tommy

Yeah, I had drawn Tommy as a girl before...

17. If you had a secret agent name, what would it be?

Had to look up varieties of tomato for this one; didn't take one to find one that sounded cool.

18. Your favorite season? Favorite holiday? I must know.

Mainly because I liked how this one turned out. Yes, his favorite season is autumn (it's mine as well).

Well, that turned out to be a lot. Of course, these are just a few of what I've answered. I just really like how these ones turned out. ^^
Okay, enough of my rambling, go ahead and continue on with... whatever you were doing.

First of all, hooray for feeling better!

My favorites have got to be Alicorn Princesses Cheese and Tomato, of course, and Agent Alicante. And now I have "Nopony Does It Better" stuck in my head.

And now you have to give us all those silly ship names. :pinkiehappy: I can remember a few, but not all of them.

I should totally write you a drabble on the crack ship I came up with for that one! I should be doing other stuff, but the last thing I wrote was a teeny bit on the heavy side.

2342065 Yes-a-rooney, the sharp pain is gone, I can run around like a maniac and eat stuff again! :yay:

Those were fun to draw. :pinkiehappy: Especially Cheese's dramatic declaration of what he was about to do and Tomato's snarky response. And Tommy as a spy is especially awesome. :raritywink:

Okey-dokey, silly ship names, away! The ones I've got so far:

ToMaudo
Rarimato
TommyBelle
Flormato
Twimato
TomatoPie
And somebody suggested Miss Harshwhinny, but I thought the two would have a more professional relationship to be honest, like a simple acquaintanceship or something. :applejackunsure:

Ooh, a drabble for that crack ship? I am honestly very curious. Well, I don't demand it, since you've got real life stuff and Looking Glass World and yadda yadda yadda, but I am curious on what it'd be like.

Ha. Those are all pretty nifty.

Glad you're feeling better.
