    That Time of the Season Once Again

    Hello all, hope everybody is having a good holiday.

    I'm a bit too hopped up on eggnog right now to really go into depth, but for anybody who remains who cares to hear it, I'll try and have a status update pretty soon.

    Hope everybody is enjoying the season! Merry Christmas~!

    I found some VINTAGE Brony Meme Stupidity in the back of my closet

    So, no real work done on anything creative right now, my dudes. Still working through my shit. Getting a lot of therapy, but unfortunately the "greater situation" I'm dealing with is both existential, ongoing, and an annoyingly hot topic right now, so it's an uphill battle.

    Happy Yearly Holiday Update

    Huh. I wonder if anybody still checks this page. I've been pretty dead on this site for a while now.

    Happy Holidays to everybody out there who still finds themselves entranced by stories of technicolor equines. I hope everybody is having a Merry Christmas.

    The Yearly Holiday Janitorial Update

    *peeks in*

    ...Is anybody even still watching this space?

    So, another year has gone by and I'm afraid, once again, I have little to show for it.

    Christmas Wishes, Apologies, and Updates

    Hello, everybody. Long time no... well... anything really.

    It's been exactly one year since I've given anybody here any blog whatsoever, and that was just a quick Christmas gag. It's been even longer since I've actually given anybody any updates on any of my stories or what's going on in my life.

A-ha-haaaaaaa...

Yeah, no. None of that is happening in Applebloom:TaRO or any future fanfics I publish. No sir.

(Not that it COULD, seeing as Applebloom already got her Cutie Mark, but don't expect it for Scoots or Sweetie, I mean.)

You know... I really wish people would remember the AU tag exists for stuff like this. it's fanfic. it doesn't have to nor should it have to follow the show note-for-note.

Looking forward to more from you, too. :D

seriously this is some canon that i am more than glad to forget it exist, and crossdressing bigmac..

No problem a lot of stories are now AU but still it is pretty cool episode.

3458917 I agree but there is still those that do.
By the way has any one ever done one of your stories crossed with Nyxs form past sin?

3459010 the old pony trying to date him, I want to for get that.

3459427 They're now AU, but they don't need the tag since they were written prior to this latest episode.

I'm going on record as saying I think the lot of us could've written the episode (or at least what it set out to do) a helluva lot better then what we got. But there's a word for times such as this; shouganai. It can't be helped.

Still looking forward to more of the story, Dusty. :twilightsmile:

Havn't seen it yet. But art crossover fics automatically AU and not need the tag?

Oh God, is someone else complaining about the Mark designs and them making Tiara sympathetic? :facehoof:

3460160 it would be weirder to not complain about?. five seasons of bullying and just " you arent bad your other is a bitch and everything is ok" and their cutie marks are so damn generic that one would believe starlight glimmer was behind then getting them, maybe there wasnt a budget for a better design after most of it was spend on the light show previous to they getting it

You sir, win an Internet.

Coincidentally, something like this cutie mark could work for a pony Blitzwing.

I'll be quite fair. The 'Heart inside the Apple' mark and the 'lightning bolt inside the wing' mark are actually pretty well designed, at least as far as those elements go. The former looks like somebody has taken a slice out of the apple, and it's being viewed in such a way that the slice looks like a heart, while the latter just lines up very nicely aesthetically.

However, the music note inside the heart mark, I feel, actually looks kinda generic. And all that said, the color scheme really makes them all look dull and more like purple blobs than anything else. The marks would have honestly been better if they'd either stuck to the CMC shield motif, or given them the unique marks inside the shields. Putting the both of them together just makes it overly busy, and the all-different-shades-of-purple color scheme makes them blend together into a mishmash from any sort of distance.

I was mostly making a dumb joke about how "blitz" is German for lightning, so a "lightning-wing" could be translated into "Blitzwing," and then you've got three colors for the whole triple-changer thing...

Anyways, yes, while I felt like it was a decent anniversary episode in an overall strong season, the cutie marks could've been better-designed (even a less-busy color scheme would've been nicederpicdn.net/img/view/2015/10/11/1000128__safe_scootaloo_sweetie+belle_apple+bloom_cutie+mark+crusaders_cutie+mark_crusaders+of+the+lost+mark_spoiler-colon-s05e18_redesign_the+cmc%27s+cutie+marks.jpeg ) and the method they got them was kinda strange.

But! You've been AU territory for a while now, anyways! Whatever happens in the show, I'll still eagerly await your Sari-meets-Megaman Apple Bloom and your hot-n-steamy giant-robot-on-giant-robot action.

It's astounding how the change in color schemes makes those marks immediately better in almost every way.
