Special Eclipse Promo Coming Tomorrow! · 4:04am Aug 21st, 2017
This might or might not mean a whole lot to non-American users*, but I've decided to celebrate tomorrow's eclipse in a way only I can! Since I was already planning for the next IGYALL to be a low-key Coco/Bambi bonding part, I figured I might as well set it during an Equestrian eclipse so I can have a themed part. With the way IGYALL has been updating biweekly lately, it only took a little tiny delay for it to cross over with the eclipse day, so get ready for an extra-special new part!
It should update late tomorrow afternoon, so you all can still watch the sun if it's happening near you. I've been looking forward to this for a while, so I hope this makes your eclipse day extra special!
* I really don't know if the eclipse will occur in other countries tomorrow, but from the way they keep calling it "America's Eclipse," it does make me wonder if Canada and Mexico will experience a similar phenomenon.
The eclipse will be in the US tomorrow, so I doubt that anyone from
Canada orMexico will be able to see it. It's totality over in Oregon but I happen to live near a place where I can see a partial eclipse. I'm not entirely sure about Canada, though. By the way, is it spoilers if I ask about what ponies think of eclipses in general?4642924
It's just my headcanon, but both Celestia and Luna have to use their magic for one. So it's not as uncommon as it is on Earth (because celestial body-controlling princesses), but this particular one's still the first since Luna's banishment. I think it'd happen about once every three years; it's only strange this time since it's the first in a while.

i thought i was working monday, but got a text telling me otherwise. and now everywhere local is sold out of the glasses. so im boned.

Ponies who do freak out about eclipses are more like political conspiracy theorists (I.e. "new lunar order" and the like). Or that's just my headcanon.
