    Couch is writing again?

    Uh, probably not. At least, not according to the requirements or expectations this site might have for writing. Furthermore, it's only a 300-word drabble on Tumblr right now.

    But it's there. Or hit the break for a synopsis and an extra link to what's there now.

    Why I Deleted Sunset Shimmer Has A Problem

    Writing long blog posts on a phone stinks, but TL;DR: much as I like Sunset Shimmer, I'm not a fan of the series she's lashed to. So I'm just going through and removing stuff I've done that had anything to do with EqG, and then I'm silent on the topic forever more.

    Juvenile Cephalopods, Productivity, and the Tricking Myself into the Latter Thereof Via Exploiting the Former

    So while every single one of my friends are heading to Baltimore this weekend to horse around, I finally went and bought myself a Wii U and Splatoon. If at any given moment you also have Schrodinger quandaries concerning your status as kid or squid, add my Nintendo Network ID: couchcrusader, and we can stomp some pubs together.

    Couch's Thoughts on Episode 100

    Let me begin by saying there's a lot of valid criticism out there about, well, everything to do with this episode -- its premise, its execution, its intent, its impact on future episodes, its inpact on the fandom, and so on. It's far from perfect, or, dare I say it, great. I'm right there with many folks when I say it came across as a checklist of rote fan-inspired items Larson and

Announcing: Children of Everfree - a Tumblr Askblog · 8:29pm Nov 25th, 2014

Hey everyone,

If you remember that side project I mentioned a couple days ago with Fluttershy and not-exactly her friends, and your first reaction wasn't an immediate "OH CELESTIA KILL IT WITH SOLAR FIRE", I'm pleased to announce that it is now up and running. I hope can entice you to check it out, leave an ask or two, or even toss me a follow here. Hay, tell your friends if they might be interested in something like this! I've literally gone two nights without sleep developing and drawing this thing, and it's the most fun I've had in this fandom for a very, very long time.

If you need more information on what you're about to get into, hit the break to read a quick synopsis.

Synopsis

An unremarkable spider, Fluttershy lives a solitary, if peaceful, life in the outskirts of Everfree. Lately, however, the forest has grown troubled. Animals are going missing. Great trees lay splintered or corroded in the wake of un-nameable beasts. The neighboring empire of Equestria rouses its forces as creeping shadows lap at its border. There come rumors, from deep within Everfree Heart, that something has taken root there that never should have been.

Until that day, Fluttershy had been a child of Everfree. On that day, she received a mysterious visitor, and the solitary, peaceful life she once knew was no longer.

My name is Fluttershy, and I am not a monster.
Please believe me...

That artwork sends tingles up my spine.

"OH CELESTIA KILL IT WITH SOLAR FIRE"

Is that still a viable option? :unsuresweetie:

[continues screaming externally]

I'm okay with this.

See, it's weird, I thought the scream in the first post was because she'd just realized she'd turned into a spider. >.> I'm so confused right now.

2616704 Huh. Much as I like a little Gregor Samsa in my TF stories, that interpretation hasn't crossed my mind. Hopefully this next update will clear a lot of questions.

This is looking pretty amazing so far! I had no idea you were such an artist. :pinkiehappy:

He's very modest about it.

Pfaugh, you guys are all wimps. I'm sure Fluttershy would be totally okay with a giant spider version of herself. :trollestia:

2617125 After waking up with a black widow in my bed and a horrible spider bite at the ripe old age of four, arachnophobia is a primal yet predominate fear in my psychological profile.

"Rainbow Dash tells me that all the time" Mutated spider-mares need lovin' too. I just hope she's not the kind who bites off her lover's head off... xD

Rainbow has some kinks. I'm liking these implications that likely aren't what the mind would rush to about those two. xD

2616758

Exceedingly so. But that's artists for you. Overly critical of their own work.

2617176 I went through this weird cycle of "haha, 'screamer.' Nice, Anon," played it perfectly straight in the answer, and only belatedly realized that Fluttershy may have hinted at something much, much deeper between her and Rainbow Dash than I'd originally planned. I'm glad you caught onto it.

This is great. I didn't know you drew!
