    Apologies for the long wait

    I apologize for the long delay for the most recent chapter. I was having real trouble with anxiety and depression, and it was hard for me to find motivation to keep working. I'm learning to make writing fun for me again, rather than feeling like work. I might have needed the rest anyway to gain more inspiration.

    Spoilers -- Character Development for the Knights of Order (and Twilight's reaction to their insults)

    During their stay in Tartarus, I attempt to extrapolate the personality of each of the Knights of Order, trying to uncover what barriers might be in the way of them considering the love of friendship. King Danu comes across as the most angry, rebellious, and self-destructive. Indeed, his foolishness and hypocrisy feel like pre-reformed Chancellor Neighsay on crack.

    Developing some chapters out of order

    Until recently, I was publishing my story completely linearly. Now sometimes I might add a chapter between two chapters I've already published. However, the central elements of the main plot -- they will still be published in chronological order. Side plots, on the other hand -- they may not be published completely in order (but they will be properly numbered and

    One chapter is out of sequence ("Spike's Friendship Triangle")

    "Spike's Friendship Triangle" is currently listed as #15. I think I want to add at least two chapters between "Meeting the Students" and "Spike's Friendship Triangle". Therefore, the next two chapters I post will probably come before "Spike's Friendship Triangle", bumping it to #17.

    Preview of next chapter in "Camp Harmony" -- "Honesty & Laughter"

    I'm in the middle of writing the latest chapter of my story. Here is what I have so far:


    In another big lecture hall, 100 students sat in the benches surrounding the teaching area. Again, ten of them were Royal Guards. Flim and Flam sat in the back, between a dragon and a gryphon.

    "So, brother," said Flim, "I hope this honesty stuff isn't as hard as it looks."

My basic goals for a "Season 11" comic series · 9:50pm Nov 29th, 2021

For a "Season 11", I would love Hasbro to achieve these basic goals:

1. Give the Knights of Order a redemption arc -- finally uniting the Elements of Patriotism with the other sets of Elements.

(The Knights temporarily lose connection with their Elements -- because their murderous hate starts making them harsh and selfish toward their own subjects. The message is this: You don't love your own country if you don't care for the people who live in it.)

2. Have the School of Friendship start training all students to bear the Elements of Harmony (perhaps a program called "Camp Harmony").

(And give Spike his own Element, maybe the Element of Empathy.)

3. Have Shining Armor become properly connected to the magic of friendship, along with his Royal Guard.

(To do so, he and his Guard must overcome toxic masculinity -- and learn from the girls and children [in the School of Friendship]. And have him finally become an alicorn.)

4. Have a "Younger 6" -- composed of a zebra, abada, kelpie, cat, dog, and bird. Each would be trained by a member of the "Young 6" (aka "Student 6").

(Have the "Younger 6" become key in helping their respective nations get along with one another. This way, the magic of friendship will work to its full effect.)

5. Have the Knights of Order get temporarily overthrown. But the new dictator is even worse -- using fearmongering and hatemongering to start an all-out war against the world.

(And she has some innocent and naive students to bear the Elements of Patriotism. This way, she can use friendship as a weapon against itself.)
