End of April Blog. · 7:02pm Apr 30th, 2017
Just one more week, finals week, before I enjoy an entire summer (though still working at Petsmart). This was an unusual April; most of past week it was warm, but now we're so close to summer and now there's a cold spell at least in St. Joseph.
There are a few items in mind.
Item one, "Flurry Heart's Eye Exam" now is my first story with one thousand views. Yet, I feel little joy about it. TBF, if one dares to look up every chapter of one of my multiple chapter stories like, say, "The New Timeline" and add up all the views, the number is substantially higher. Alas, the view count only works for the most viewed chapter; someday the mentioned story will reach one thousand views, but only if I write new material for it.
And new material will come. I have lately made quite some progress on my comeback story, "Of Monsters and Equestria Girls." While I have said that I won't start publishing until I have the story completed (it will be one chapter a day upon completion) and coverart made, I will show you a preview.
The suns sets over the great mountains that house the castle town of Canterlot. High on her tower, Celestia cancels out her magic, watching her younger sibling take over for the evening. She returns to her chambers, lighting up the fireplace with her magic. Celestia takes off her crown, chest piece and slippers, straightening her ruffled coat with her wings. As the warmth of the fire comforts her and the dusk begins to settle, the great Alicorn stretches her wings one last time last time, laying down as the sandmare takes her to another venture in dreamland.
When she opens her eyes, this venture is less than pleasant. Far less. Her dreams involve a pleasant stroll in a sunlit field with all the cake she can eat. This time, she’s in a dark jungle a lit in flame. Who could have caused this, she has not one clue. But across the flowing river stands a figured dressed in a long cloak. As if from some psychic ability, the figure turns, showing part of her face in the light.
As she tries to get a closer look, the Alicorn turns her head to her left, noticing water starting to churn. A creature erupts, roaring at the sky. Supporting itself with two muscular arms, the reptile points it's white snout at the tall pony, flicking its forked tongue at the sight of new prey. Yet, Celestia remains motionless; powerful it might appear, she has dealt worse things. The animal approaches her, towering the alicorn with jaws open.
When the jaws close, Celestia saw only darkness. She could be in the belly of the beast, but this is only a dream. One that will go away as her duties return again. Then, the same figure appears again, walking towards the ruler with each step disheartening. She collapses, crying as she holds Celestia.
“Help me, mother.”
The familiar voice and eyes got the alicorn awake, panting like mad. That was no dream, but a call for help. But how is that possible? Only Luna has the skill to venture every dreamscape. And why now after so long?
It's time for answers.
It'll be a while before I publish it, but it's a sure sign that I'm getting back on the saddle.
Jack's got his sword back and is all beautiful again!
Though I hoped there would be a better explanation as to why he lost his sword. From what we got, in his rage, he murdered a bunch of
With the preview of next episode, here's what I imagine will happen. While Jack and Ashi infiltrate a factory near Aku's citadel, they encounter the Scotsman's children and the bigger army, ready to fight the big fight. While that goes on, the two enter the citadel, Jack kills Aku of the Future, then the two get sent to the last remaining time portal, the one where the one person Jack couldn't defeat resides. Jack returns to the past and kills Aku for good, and the future is saved.
As I've said many a time before, I have made progress on my Toon Boom Puppets too, right now I have Adagio finished, then I can move on to Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo (Apple Bloom's puppet is almost done thanks to her simple design) and my OC's. Then comes clothing them, which should be easy as well. I would give you a picture, but I'm not so keen on showing naked characters (nightgowns and swimwear, sure. But never nude).
I'm surprised we got two episodes of MLP on both weekends, and also worried that Hasbro's letting it's guard down when it comes to airing content. Both Transformers Prime and Robots in Disguise get their episodes aired early in Singapore (Definitely so with Beast Hunters), and now MLP is getting their episodes aired early.
And that's what I have for today. Just one more week and I'm off school, and I might be able to play video games again.
Breathe Deep, Seek Peace.
