    Movie Date

    Twilight and I went to the local movie theater to see the 25th Anniversary of James Cameron's 1997 film TITANIC. the film was not quite as good as I remembered it the 3D was a bit understated and wonky at times. But it was a good excuse to get out of the house and wear my Our best historically themed outfits. As we were getting ready to leave I got to chatting with one of the employees a

    Christmas Carol Update

    As we near Hearth's Warming again, last evening my family and I (including Twilight) saw a brazen and unapologetically unorthodox stage production of Charles Dickens at our local art center. As this is one of my favorite non-pony stories ever, I was inspired to try picking my pen up again and putting in some more words to my ponified version of the same classic tale. I know that G4 did their own

    A Hearth's Warming Carol

    In honor of Christmas, I decided to pick back up a project I started a while back, that being an MLP themed Christmas Carol, done to the best of my ability to be as true to Charles Dicken's Original novella while still holding the magic of pony. And yes, I am quite well aware that the show did a version of this story already, but as I am sure you are also aware, the show did a much-condensed

A Hearth's Warming Carol · 10:00pm Dec 20th, 2021

In honor of Christmas, I decided to pick back up a project I started a while back, that being an MLP themed Christmas Carol, done to the best of my ability to be as true to Charles Dicken's Original novella while still holding the magic of pony. And yes, I am quite well aware that the show did a version of this story already, but as I am sure you are also aware, the show did a much-condensed version both to save time and keep it, I presume, from "scaring" the target audience.

Now, I am not saying that they did a BAD job, I genuinely enjoyed parts of it. I just happen to really like the story and initially just wanted to try my hand at illustrating with ponies. As I made the illustrations my muse started filling in some suitably Dickensian prose and voila. As I said before, I aim to stick closely to the original manuscript without it being a word-for-word copy or merely switching out aspects like "hoof for hand" or "Starlight/Trixie for Scrooge".

If anyone is interested, I would not be against having someone go over what I'm writing to make sure it flows nicely and doesn't have any glaring errors that might kill immersion.
