It is July everypony, my favorite month and my birth month. Now its time for me to tell you what I am doing for this month. Well, this month will be really busy for me as I have my classic chapters to post as well as the final parts of the War Anthologies and much more stuff.
I've just read Krickis's post on when the portal to the human world opens, and while composing a reply to some of the comments there, I've come across a rather nice coincidence (and co-incidence) in how often it opens. Before I describe it, though, some groundwork is necessary to establish the conditions that make it work. I can't help but take the opportunity to describe my own
Picture the scene: it’s spring. Not just kind-of spring, we’re not talking a day or two after the equinox, we’re a full month on and flowers are blooming and we’re going to see Hamilton in Chicago.
S'up, bitches? Guess what! Or, well, don't, because I spoiled it in the title!
The Ponyfest Panels are up!
Tarot Using Regular Modern Playing Cards
I've always thought that learning about divination techniques was interesting (from a historical perspective). I don't necessarily believe that they really tell the future or anything. But I do think they are neat to learn about, especially in the context they were traditionally used.
Well, it seems folks are pretty happy with My Fluttering Heart on the whole. It was fun coming up with a personality for a seven-and-a-half year old Flurry Heart, as well as packing as much foreshadowing into Flurry Heart’s perspective as I could. Not to mention the dad jokes. Thanks to everyone who has read that story, and thanks especially to you who talked to me about it; I appreciate it.
Ok, I figure it’s time for an update to my OC’s universe, mostly bat pony history and one new menu item. Y’all can blame I thought I was Toast and especially Harmony Split for this. A few bits and pieces are borrowed directly from them, but most is inspired by it with a sprinkling of things from other stories and my own ideas in there.
If you asked almost any changeling off the street whether they thought changelings were superior to ponies, their response would be “yes, of course.” Even the more egalitarian-minded changelings know that’s a simple fact: Ponies can’t shapeshift or access a hivemind, have slow reproduction rates and rely on physical, land-depleting food to survive. And it’s for the same principle that changelings know that they’re superior to deer, yaks, griffons or any of the other myriad races of Equestria:
A Fun List Of Corrupt American Politicians
Pretty much everyone in Washington and your local governments are corrupt piranhas. But here are some extra shady ones that deserve to be fed to a dragon! Or a volcano. Whichever comes first.
Notable Female Leaders: Queen Victoria and Queen Hatshepsut
There have been many influential and interesting female leaders throughout all eras of history. These leaders come from every country in the world and are certianly worth talking about. But we usually don't hear about these leaders in school textbooks as they are often left out of school history lessons.
Well, I thought I would go ahead and get this out of the way. Do to timing February will only have two updates for Can You Run Forever?
Chapter 5: Play, Party, Scream, will be posted on February 2nd.
Chapter 6: Broken Castle, will be posted on February 16th.

This is the preview to the next part of the Twilily Saga. Twilily Saga: Journey To Heartwarming, which is a sequel to Twilily Saga: Past, Present, Or Damnation, and is the third in line of Endless TIme, Or Forever End. This preview is ripped from Chapter 4 and has quite a bit of characters being shown off in it. In particular, we get to see a small cameo of my personal OC. Now, this scene doesn't really give what these characters look like, it just a fun little scene that I had available that
So, I've been doing more work on the current chapter, working through several character interactions, stuff I'd planned from the start. I'm still puzzling over the connecting segments, but I've got an idea about how the story proceeds. Now it's a question of putting everything together.
So, little known fact, (or widely known if you pay attention to how I gush about Bronypalooza every year in my Bronycon retrospectives) but I love the music this fandom produces. So much so that I've been collecting a playlist of it for years. Since 2011 I've been, across an MP3 player, three smart phones, four laptops, and many, *many* new OS installations on a single desktop tower, been keeping a set of MP3s of my favorite fandom music, starting all the way back with the absolute classic
