    Cadance of Cloudsdale (so far) now in Spanish!

    Thanks to the generous SPANIARD KIWI, the text of Cadance of Cloudsdale so far is now in Spanish! Mr. Kiwi has done a tremendous amount of work translating many of my stories into Spanish, but this goes above and beyond. If you're curious, you may visit the project so far here at this

    Happy Cadance Day 2024!

    Things feel a bit subdued today, due to the coincidence of Valentine's Day and Ash Wednesday through a quirk of the liturgical calendar. It is somewhat difficult to juxtapose the splash of corporate-encouraged love with the festival that literally exists to remind us of our mortality. The pink of Valentine's washes against the purple of Lent. So I'm in a pensive mood, more so than usual on this

    Ciderfest is a wrap!

    Just got home from PVCF and it was an amazing con experience! The minific-based ARG that circulated around the con the whole weekend was high-concept, and I was worried about engagement, but everyone seemed to really get into searching out the hard-to-find stories concealed around the convention hall (in places as obscure as "the desktop wallpaper on one of the monitors in the video game room,

Happy Lovebutt Day 2016 · 6:37pm Feb 14th, 2016

My sincerest apologies to those who hate being reminded of this day, for whatever reason, but I would feel remiss in not posting something to commemorate Best Princess's High Holy Day. Here's to Love more as a concept, not so much as a celebration of individual relationships that we may have had better or worse luck in pursuing. Here's to the concept of breaking down barriers between ourselves and the others we share this earth with, and effecting great things in doing so. Happy St. Valentine's, or Hearts and Hooves, or whatever you celebrate.

(Though I feel compelled to point out that Headcanon Cadance's true holy day is the pegasean Veneralia on April 1, which Heartlanders celebrate in a very different way in the form of April Foal's.)

Happy Candybooty Sunday! :pinkiehappy:

Aha! *tinfoil hat on* I knew all those mentions of spas were leading to something!

Whee! In a twist (:twistnerd:), here in Finland we celebrate February 14th as the day of friends in general, and not just lovers. Thus we elevate Twilight Sparkle over Cadence!

A young Cadance once celebrated this day by running around zapping ponies at will with love spells.
The result was baby booms in several major Equestrian cities, two Griffon provinces and a Zebrican village.

Happy Lovey Dovey day!

Hopefully Princess Lovebottom will be watching over us today. :twilightsmile:

Happy Heartbutt day!

And now I can't help but think of a Writeoff entry that posited that if Cadænce dies, she rises again on the next Hearts and Hooves Day.

I know, kind of morbid. In any case, Happy Lovebutt Day!

Happy Ice Cream Sale Day!

What? It's a legitimate holiday.

It isn't like CRUEL PONIES MEN are taking advantage of the fact that many people are lonely on Valentine's Day and seek comfort, no matter how cold it may be.

Thank you for the nice sentiment and the wish for love for all of us. I myself feel fulfilled by just being a part of this wonderful fandom.

Yay for Heartbutt day!

In honor of the day, I have fallen in love with your headcanon.

... Well, okay, I would have done that anyway, but that makes it feel more official. Happy Cadance day!

Hopefully that love will be requited. Buy my headcanon some jewelry and take it out for a nice dinner, perhaps?

… do you think your headcanon might appreciate practicality over grand sentimental gestures? Because I'd much rather have our pick of top restaurants rather than fighting lines to go out to eat somewhere anywhere. Valentine's Day is an absolute mess of a first date.

Plus that way we can hit the after-holiday sales together, and I can show off my hive's business associates' latest merchandising.

Hm. A celebration of love and fidelity... called 'April Foals'.

Tell me, did it acquire this appellation through the, uh, consequences of a celebration of love and fidelity? Say, eleven months down the line?

It acquired this name BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS A DAMN PONY PUN

My headcanon is a fickle bitch, always changing her mind. "Oh, certainly, we definitely need a pet rabbit for Cadance! Plan this whole story about the pet rabbit!" and then a few months later it's all like, "Meh, screw the rabbit." Not literally, one hopes, but headcanons are weird that way. Who even knows, basically? Certainly not me.
