    End of the Universe

    I am working to finish Infinite Imponability Drive as soon as I can. Unfortunately the last two weeks have been so crazy that it’s been hard to set aside more than a few hours to do any writing…

    Imponable Update

    Work on Infinite Imponability Drive continues. I aim to get another chapter up by next weekend. Thank you to everyone who left comments. Sorry I have not been very responsive. I got sidetracked for the last two weeks preparing a talk for the ATOM society on Particle Detectors for the LHC and Beyond, which took rather more of my time than I

    Imponable Interlude

    Everything is beautiful now that we have our first rainbow of the season.

    What is life? Is it nothing more than the endless search for a cutie mark? And what is a cutie mark but a constant reminder that we're all only one bugbear attack away from oblivion?

    This is one of the craziest things that I have ever tried to write and is a consequence of me having rather more unstructured free time than usual for the last week.

To the Finale and Back Again · 1:03pm Oct 23rd, 2016

“Oooooo—”, said Pinkie Pie, “—wasn’t that just the best season finale EVER? It had a party at the end and everything!”

“You say that about every season finale,” said Applejack.

“That’s because every season finale is the best season finale EVER,” explained Pinkie. Applejack decided not to further question this logic.

“It was… erm… very nice,” added Fluttershy. “It was good to see how Discord’s character has developed.”

“Is everything alright Twilight dear?” said Rarity. “You seem a little—agitated.”

“No…” replied the Princess of Friendship, looking away from her friend. “Well… I…” She turned back and paused for a moment before blurting out, “Starlight Glimmer stole the entire show! The finale is supposed to be about me—or about us—me and my friends, the adventures we have and how we all come together stronger. This one was focussed entirely on Starlight, and Discord, and Thorax, and Trixie of all ponies! Trixie!

“Starlight is your student,” said Rarity. “You must be happy about how she has succeeded in her friendship studies.”

“I guess,” said Twilight, looking down at her hooves. “Reforming an entire changeling kingdom is a pretty advanced friendship lesson.”

“And anyway,” said Rainbow Dash. “That wasn’t the finale.”

“It wasn’t!” Pinkie Pie jumped up with a big smile. “You mean there’s going to be another one? With another party?”

“We already had it,” said Rainbow. “You need to take the global perspective. To Where and Back Again premiered in the UK on October 6 and 7, and was followed by Where the Apple Lies in the US on October 8, then Top Bolt premiered in the UK on October 10. So that one—staring me and Twilight—was the real finale.”

“Ooooo - so that makes Top Bolt the best season finale ever too,” said Pinkie. “We've had two best finales ever in the same week.”

“Obviously they realised post production that a season finale without me wouldn’t be sufficiently awesome, so they had to change the schedule.”

Applejack raised an eyebrow. “So you mean those leaks were all done by some member of the Rainbow Dash fan club?”

Makes sense. :rainbowdetermined2:

Scootaloo, Tiny Pop head of programming. I can believe that. :scootangel:

Starlight stealing the show? I mean, she definetly has had a lot of episodes, but idk.

Final Fantasy group size rather than DnD average group size? though that is very variable.

Was Discord microphone a science powered thing or a mistake, given only changeling magic worked within the thrones influence?

The Throne was the Anti Tree? After all, if it was carved from something, it means the effect of the origional thing was still effective even after being carved and maniplulated, so what about th remaining bits, blocks and chunks. Would they still have an area of effect, but is the effect self reinforcing, as in teh bigger the lump, the far larger teh area of effect is, so as evenly distributed dust the effect area would be far smaller at best?

Best bit.

Discord:They Took Fluttershy.

Next best bit.

Chrysalis:Ill be back. For you and that dog.

Thorax and the Flutterponies, yaay, but Smooze is already happy guy.

Trixie and her cart, close enough for The Wizzard and the Luggage. :pinkiecrazy:

International pony conspiracy confirmed :trixieshiftleft::trixieshiftright:

Clearly he had created a battery powered mic as part of their "adventuring equipment" that appeared on them when Discord teleported them. :trollestia:

Just don't ask about where the speakers were...:pinkiecrazy:

Hey hey hey! That battery-powered mic came from Trixie, not Discord! Didn't you see it in her bag when Discord was rifling through it and complaining about the uselessness of the items? So it ended up being super useful after all!

This does indeed make sense.
