Sunset Shimmer is not best pony.

*dodges flung items* Let me finish!

She is not best pony because we see her for all of three minutes as a pony. Now if we had her return to Equestria for any length of canonical time, then yes, she would be best pony on my list.

She is currently best character by growth, followed closely now by Starlight Glimmer as of the end of season six.

Sigh...I said I wasn't going to do this....dammit.

I leave for vacation tomorrow and won't be back until after the holidays. To compensate, I have a double feature for you fine folks. One version that I wrote, and the other written by my good friend John Perry.

Who's is better? Which one sums up the fic in the best way? Fight it out in the comments!

Below, get double spoiled!

At the local hayburger joint, a line had formed at the counter of rather confused ponies holding their recently-placed orders. Each one in turn was confused as they went up to the burger flipper in turn and showed him that all they had received was a hay patty with toppings.

All the burger flipper could do was shrug. "It's our new special, man. 'Naked Hayburgers'."

"Happy birthday, dear Orange Marmalade! Happy birthday to you!"

So in my continued efforts to get back into art, I drew this freehand and upside down from a photograph. It makes me think of Sassaflash from my new fic.

The photograph I used.

I'm not obsessed with casual Overwatch. You're obsessed.

Anyways...

First thing's first.

As I am writing this, I am sitting here watching the pale yellow brilliance of the sun arc slowly to the edge of the western horizon. In a moment, that warm orb of luminescence will sink beneath the atmospheric haze of the distant plains, gone from my view. Gone, too, will be the light it brought with it, as well as its warmth and the way it colored the sky and landscape in a harmonious spectrum of blue and green and yellow and red hues. In its place, night will come, the warmth replaced with

Good evening and welcome in Fluttercheer's Madhouse.

Or, something like that. Relationship and Internet drama (more about that will follow when the stars are aligned for it, can't go into detail right now, but you'll know what that means once you see it) hampered my concentration and writing output a bit again, so the last few months felt a bit like a madhouse for me, but things keep moving along.

Welcome to my 100th blog post!!

So after some nasty business elsewhere, I thought I'd share my thoughts on a cool background pony called Silver Spanner, whom I think is pretty intriguing. As far as details go for her, they are few and far between.

"...And I said, 'I don't really care how big or small the fans are. I'm just wondering what you're plugging them into. Don't tell me those things run off of gas lines.' Do we even have gas lines in Ponyville? For that matter, do we need them? You can pretty much see in broad daylight even in the middle of the night. Come to think of it, when's the last time we haven't had a full-"

Silver Spanner art to celebrate! Whee!

I bought Fantasy Life for my 3DS, and I remembered had this app called 3D Colors. I started to fool around on it when I realized... Oh! This animates my drawing! And I can share it online!

Thanks for putting up with me guys.

Worked more on the sketch from this morning. Hate the colors. Screwed up inking some of the lines. Overall, kinda bummed...

The blue stallion pushed the plate of cookies out of the way, slapped the field guide on the table, cracked open to a pre-marked page, and then shoved it forward for his green friend to look at.

"There you go, Carl."

What level of ‘Dark And Troubled Past’ would be acceptable for background ponies.
I plan on giving a few of them...uneasy upbringings but they’re incidents that are well behind them and has been greatly improved by their time in Ponyville and the friends they’ve made.
But I don’t want to go too far.
If you’d like an idea, I can enclose the trailer.

Hi, first week of university is the most fast-paced shit. Since I couldn't hammer out any horsewords, or really any non-academic ones until just now, here's a blog about pony books. With all the hype around the printed horse books floating around in blogs from pre-con and post-con stuff, you might have been on the fence about buying some, especially with so many titles and options. Me, being me, I decided to buy a modest amount of printed ponyfic for myself. I'll be showing off some of the
