Welcome to Chapter 13, everybody! These chapters have been getting noticeably longer since I started using text-to-speech when checking for mistakes, and I am not sure why. I wonder if I go back and start reviewing the previous chapters if they'd get longer as well after a few passes.

Hello and good morning to all my readers (unless you're in a really different time zone, in which case it would be afternoon or evening... nevermind).

That new story I mentioned before is finally up to read! Only the first chapter so far though, just for a little start. So in the meantime, I hope you enjoy this little summer surprise, and say hello to my new Celestia and Sunset Shimmer fic... Swimming Lessons

So, yeah. Jingleclop is alive again! Two seasons later. But honestly, spacing it out means more delicious fun throughout the year, and what's summer without a little sauce?

Two of the ponies get treated like dress up dolls and humiliated.

(Insert bad joke about this scene here)

This is a drawing of a scene from Paradise the Librarian's collab story for New Years.

Also, the only pony in this picture that belongs to me is Colors. The rest belong to: Paradise the Librarian, Daffodil, Vanilla Mocha, Lore-Lei, and Summer Dancer.

Loads of salt. A load of it. I don't normally cover 4chan news, but honestly this is so fucking great. Thank you stallmen for the point.

For those of you who like to wait until stories are finished before reading them, What Shy Did on Her Summer Vacation is now complete. What follow are my thoughts on it. Spoilers are most definitely present.

What sort of summer will it be?
Did you ever pay attention to the first butterfly you saw when the first warm days came? Some say it is a preminition of the season.
From its colours you can scry the future, finding purpose.

Butterflies are not inherently magical (at least I believe so). However, it is a reminder of what we do in our world every day: finding purpose.

Have a lovely weekend, and a thoughtful Filthy Friday.
