    The Dastardly Duo (also a quick check-in)

    Recently, I realized that I needed to get some art for the less noble side of Set Sail. Our main villain has existed for years now as nothing more than words on a page and ideas in my head, but now we've got photographic evidence that he exists!

    I made my account here exactly 10 years ago today. A whole decade of occasionally posting words about silly little talking horses and birds. I wish I had something planned but this kinda just snuck up on me. All I have is my thoughts, and I've only got one of those right now.

    I'm getting old.

I play by Da Rules ©.

Rule one: Thou shalt not watch horse before it airs.

Also I usually like to watch the show with a buddy of mine over voice chat. His power got WWE Superslammed by Hurricane Matthew last week, and we finally got to watch both last week and this week's episodes tonight. Spoilers abound below for those who have not seen the episodes yet! And so what was the consensus of my brain cells?

ALL MY YES. NOW TO PRESENT THE THINGS THAT GARNERED THE YES.

IT WAS QUICK, BUT IT WAS THERE. THE MARBLEMAC MISTAKE IS BEING CORRECTED!

Also in less-trivial news, Where The Apple Lies was an all-around treat for me. I absolutely loved seeing so many characters a little younger than present day. Also some crazy good character development for Big Mac, which is always appreciated. The big lug is half of my OTP after all, and I just love it when he gets to say more than a simple "Eeyup." Also this more firmly cements his ability to speak so exhaustively when in drag, a la Brotherhooves Social. Good shtuff indeed.

And the episode from this weekend was just as good, if not slightly better from an unbiased standpoint. (Story here was slightly better, but the Cheerimac nod and young Apple Horse Clan makes me favor the prior episode.)

Top Bolt has bestowed a new ship into my fleet. I shall christen it...

Skytrail!

Apparently Big Jim says they're just friends, but I say balderdash!

I'll show myself out.

Seriously, even though I found Sky Stinger to be a bit of a schmuck, he was much better when humbled. Also Vapor Trail is hecking KYOOT. The episode's writing was great, and Spitfire was totally on point. Loving the characterization we got these last two episodes!

Also there is absolutely no way Vapor Trail and Sky Stinger could not be snusnu-ing in a romantic relationship. If sitting next to a pony on a park bench is enough to get the shippers around here to go nuts, then it's safe to say that that THESE TWO MUST BE IN LOVE.

I REFUSE TO BELIEVE OTHERWISE.

Quick update on story scribbling before I go. Learning Curve is still sort of in limbo with getting an editor, but I have a good feeling that there might be some content coming in the next few weeks. Take that with a grain of salt, obviously, but there's still the possibility of it! Reminder: If you're really curious, I keep a progress check updated on my user page. Every time after a while I get some stuff done, I make sure that thing is communicating that to you in raw, undisputable numbers that are really just rough estimates based on my own observation. Here's hoping that I can finally get out of this funk and get some more Cheerilee wordage out to you!

Thanks for sticking around, and I'll see you all soon!

4259170 Big Jim may be the show's director. He may know everything about horse. But there's one thing he doesn't have.

My interpretation.

Skytrail is a fine ship, ready to make her maiden voyage. Wanna go for a ride in it, Kudzu?

I dunno, I think the pic makes it clear where I stand.

I was bitterly disappointed when it was made clear that Shining Armor and Princess Cadance were just friends. Married friends.

I guess they can't imply that sex is happening, I don't know what the fronk is going on.

4259173

Also, Vinyl and Octavia are officially just friends.

I bet that Twilight Sparkle gave them a friendship ceremony.

4259175 I'm pretty sure it was confirmed long ago that ponies get their children from the Hasbro production line, not conventional means like sex and childbirth.

Also there's some hella tax benefits to getting married, so it makes sense that Cadance and Shining Armor would enter into a bromantic relationship.

Yeah, Vapor Trail totally wanted that D.

Can't wait for more LC. Hope the semester's treating you well.

4259201 Yeah, she totally wanted that D-termination so she could become a wonderbolt recruit!

OVERLORD HASBRO WILL SMITE YOU FOR USING UNKIND WORDS IN THE PRESENCE OF HORSE

But yeah, semester's been good so far. I'm working my ass off at procrastinating, but I'm doing okay. I really need to be more active on skype so I can see you guys more regularly.

I do believe that I used a letter. Maybe I was meaning domino? You assume too much...
