My stories tend to focus on emotional drama, especially family drama--and much feels, to boot. Buy me a Ko-Fi! ko-fi.com/brokenimage321

    Random Brainstorming: Celestia X Sombra Nextgen?

    I'm a sucker for next-gens, plus tragic stories of star-crossed lovers. I recently stumbled across some art that reminded me of an idea that scratched both itches, and I'm curious what you think.

    Random Headcanon: Sunburst and Sunset are the Same Pony, Pre- and Post-Transition

    I've always liked the idea that Sunburst and Sunset are related somehow. This headcanon fills in some gaps in EQG canon while playing off that idea. I'm not sure I believe it myself, but it's a fun idea.

    Any Deaf/HoH folks on here?

    Hey, odd question: any Deaf/HoH bronies on here? I'd like to consult about a story idea I have, in which Big Mac is Deaf.

    Dear Reader, I come to you in an hour of (nerdy) need.

    A crowdfunding campaign for a board game I dearly love is about to close, but I have not the funds to back it, and I have been unable to convince my wife that we need to mortgage our house to do so. And so, I have done the only thing I can: I have put up a number of my board games for sale to raise the necessary fundage.

And Now, A Grown-Ass Man Rants About Cartoon Horses · 6:25pm Oct 13th, 2022

If you're interested in reading some non-fanfic MLP content of mine, I posted a lengthy discussion over on Reddit about why I think Zecora is, in retrospect, a... shall we say, challenging character.

Don't have a reddit account... If I remember, Lauren Faust said that Zecora was supposed to be a Zebra from Earth that got teleported to Equestria by the Everfree and gained sapience from Equestria.

The HiE we really deserve!

Zecora and AJ not evolving too much are really the only two developments we really lost out on when faust left imo
