    Hello everybody. I don't really know how to preface this properly so I'll just get right to the point.

    Hey readers. Ever wanted to know more about the various worlds Anthony and his friends ventures to, or want to know... just about anything about the Starlight multiverse of stories?

    Nuzlocke reborn

    Yes, that's right, I am restarting my Nuzlocke challenge. With two crashes under my belt, I'm thinking third time's the charm. I will be running through Pokemon Diamond Version just like the first attempt, with all the rules in-place and as follows:

    If one of your Pokemon faints, you must release it... it's dead.

Clark on tumblr · 7:24pm Jun 2nd, 2015

Hey everyone, for a few days (about a week or so) Anthony will be taking a break from answering tumblr questions as he has stuff to do... outside Equestria. Rather than bringing his laptop with him, he's letting Clark borrow it. You know what that means!

Got a question for the demonically enhanced, morally-questionable guy with the heart of cartilage, and has (with her surprisingly eager consent) popped quiet little Fluttershy's metaphorical cherry?

Then ask away!

Minor technical difficulties have arisen, Clark will be answering starting around 6 this evening.

Sorry for the delay, blame the brand-new (and mildly irritating) Library computers I'm making use of until my computer is available for pickup on the 9th.

popped quiet little Fluttershy's metaphorical cherry?

I laughed. I laughed a lot.

3118177 Well it's heavily implied that they've bumped uglies in the story and has been confirmed by me (the author) to have happened multiple times.

Just because Anthony won't bone a pony doesn't mean Clark won't.

That said, anything you guys want to ask in the Tumblr, ask away. Clark has significantly reduced amounts of shame because none of you can screw him over with the information.

3118962 "You know? Oh, okay, not like it matters considering the spacial difference between us."

They may have the information, but they can't use it. Anthony is a bit more stingy about his secrets though because even if he reveals it "without consequence" it'll be harder and harder to not let it slip in increasingly more effectual situations.

Ah, difference in characters. It's refreshing in comparison to some of the shallower stories I've read.

3119103 Then there are the interesting cases like Sonic and Shadow.

They do resemble each other somewhat, though you'd have to be colorblind to confuse the two with a passing glance but the design is similar. Their characteristics couldn't be more different.

Even if the game isn't canon, the line that sticks out the most for me (but seems to be ignored by everyone else) is this line from Sonic in the Shadow game: "You can press the action button to pick up or drop a gun. Personally, I wouldn't be caught dead using those things!"

Three minutes into a mandatory stage that must be unavoidably replayed multiple times, with one line, cements the radical difference between the two characters.

In short: Making characters that start out as carbon-copies of each other can become completely different characters that are distinct in their differences with a small bit of clever writing. Why do fanfic authors find this so hard!? I mean, Sonic Team manages it, and they aren't known for having ingenious writing staff (I'm looking at you Sonic '06)
