Fanart!
Y'all remember when Cayenne had too much to drink and Silver Glow was worried about her oversleeping, so she pushed her onto Aquamarine's back and then, after Aquamarine carried her into the shower, Silver Glow blasted her with cold water?
Shachza has made an art of it!
FLAWLESS VICTORY! SILVER GLOW WINS! PROFANITY!
k.
Even cuter on drawing. Love how she smiles through it all.
I giggle every time I remember that scene. No other in-story scene so well combines and contrasts her apparent real self with her powers of adorable. I'm just happy to share the funny with everyone.

Always keep your eye on the pony. Their cute only magnifies their power.

How could anyone not? It started as an amazing prank...
Perfect!
Nice sketches, Shachza.
Do not get in a curse-off with coastal weatherworkers. It will not end well.
I recall an article written by a mechanic many years ago. In it he stated that when you were working on a car, and things weren't going well, you had to swear in the car's native tongue. German for BMW and Volkswagen, French for Peugeot and Citroen, Japanese for Toyota, etc. If you didn't, the car wouldn't understand and would keep fighting you. He learned foul language from around the world just so he could effectively swear at cars he was working in a way they could understand.
I have this image of Silver Glow carefully studying the curse words from as many different human languages as she can. Just so that when she is back home she can effectively curse the wild weather she has to deal with.
...and being able to out swear the sailor ponies as an added bonus.
Well, that makes my day What chapter was it from again so I can reread it?

Can you imagine how frustrating it would be that swearing just makes you cuter?

Silver is a very happy pony.

The curse of ponykind--relentless adorableness, no matter what.

I think I mentioned once (but not sure where) the one of my foul-mouthed mechanic co-workers had a daughter who wound up joining the Navy, and she said stuff that made me blush.

I'll have to try that. I can swear in English and to a limited extent in German, but that's about it. Luckily, here in America we don't see many French cars, but it wouldn't hurt to learn a little bit of Korean and Japanese. Also, assuming that I did, it would be interesting to have to admit on a trip abroad that the only things I knew in the native tongue were how to say 'hello,' 'where is the bathroom,' and 'why the fuck won't you come loose you worthless piece of shit bolt?'
"Silver, what did you just say to that cloud?"
"Oh, it's English. I told it what it should do to itself."
