Changelings can be named after insect body parts. Thorax. Chrysalis. Pharynx. So Leg is a changeling name. Sortof. Technically. She's not happy with it.

My entry in the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting Contest #14, "A Worthy End." Written in one hour and totally unedited.

Celestia: a filly of twelve. A cynical, hungry pauper, with a young sister to protect and feed.

But the food has run out. Winter has gripped the land for too long, and now the pair face starvation.

The cynic in Celestia knows she can't move the sun. But the child in her wonders... and so she tries.

(Inspired by the Donovan song of the same name.)

(Now with a Spanish translation here.)

Ponies have particularly floofy chests (or 'barrels')...have you ever noticed that?

A worthless one-shot based entirely on a dank meme ShobieShy posted on Twitter the other day.

EDIT: No way. Featured at #1 almost immediately on 10/7/19. They like the Floof!
EDIT: Audio Reading Link from StraightToThePointStudio same day!

One day, as you're trotting back home with your groceries, it occurs to you that your life has no beginning, middle or end. You just do things and that's that. No heroic rescues, fairytale romances or epic confrontations.

Is there a point?

Lyra keeps finging.  Whatever that is. Bonbon just wants sleep.  Love shouldn't be this hard.

Thanks to my pre-readers Lingo and Fillyfoolish, to Sockpuppet for feedback on titles and descriptions, and to JackRipper for asking me what my jumbled slang meant. The strangest things inspire me.

All her life, Twilight Sparkle has tried to be good, hard-working, and well-behaved. She's been told that's what she should strive to be, but what if she's missing out on the secret delights of being a rebel? A punk? A bad girl?

Following this train of thought, she concludes there's only one thing to do: an experiment.

And since she knows very little about rebelling, she'll need to find an expert to learn from...

This story is a sequel to Shoehorn

Yup.

It's that time again.

Ya boi's got no idea what he wants to do and has nothing but memes in mind.

I should actually try working on my existing stories besides What If for once.

Relevé: position in which the dancer rises from any position to on one or both feet on at least demi-pointe, or possibly full pointe

She's done the simple Rainbooms choreo, the square dancing with her family, the silly free-styles with her friends. But today, Applejack wants to try something a bit different, something she'd never expected to be interested in.

You would think attending Canterlot High would teach her to expect the unexpected.

After Celestia humiliates her at a dinner, Luna storms off and ends up snooping around in her sister's room. There, she stumbles upon the journal Celestia kept immediately after the banishment of Nightmare Moon.

Twilight asks Rarity an important question: Will she stay the night?

Her answer is almost always the same. Maybe that's why Twilight keeps asking.

Inspired by the song "No Se Va" by the Colombian band Morat.
