While I'm working on things, I thought I'd share some random stuff I've done that fits nicely into the theme of this collection. This one was an interesting self-imposed challenge: I pushed myself to cram something into the span of a single youtube comment.
Do feel free to suggest other videos I should try my hand at. I also did what I thought was a pretty great one for "reach for the stars," the Sonic Colors song.

For the New Lunar Republic
Ain't that just like ponykind to romanticize their wars, callin' it a "revolution" or some crap. Still, though... You shoulda seen it. Even from my cave it was somethin'. Rivers, oceans of 'em marchin' like one body. Helmets carpetin' hills like how their Goddess sprinkled the sky with stars.
... Listen. Signing up to die for a cause is bullshit. I always believed that, always will. But not even I could tell that to the Loonies' faces. All those ponies waitin' to die that night. Makes ya think.
The Final Fall of the New Lunar Republic
Celebratory fireworks filled the sky, threatening to outshine the sunrise. No more war! Peace and prosperity! Equestria and beyond would be warmed by the sun once more!
The moon stared down accusingly at victorious Celestia, and she stared back. Slowly, stars began to melt into the orange-pink of a new age. The Solar Princess turned and trotted, regally, down the stairs. Time to address her people. Time to face the breaking dawn.
Crepuscularity
Dear Princess Celestia,
When you first gave me this assignment, I regarded it as an academic, even martial pursuit-- the study of a weapon with which to defend ponykind. As time went on, I realized that I was learning the true meaning not only of friendship, but of magic. Last night I slept under the stars with my five closest friends. There, I felt the presence of the most powerful magic I've ever known.
Thank you, Princess, for everything.
Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle.

Some of you may feel like the bearer of the Element of Kindness deserves more than such a small gathering, but Fluttershy never liked crowds. Her love will live forever in all the hearts she touched, but especially in ours. This song was written to honor her long life bringing beauty to a world sorely in need of it. Flutters, wherever you are, I know it's a much better place, because now it has you.
Goodbye, Fluttershy. Goodbye, friend. Equestria will miss you, and so will we.
