Shining Armor and Cadence's introduction was but the first of many fandom drama inducing moments, to this day there are still those who hate them or insist they have no character (which I absolutely detest, they do in fact have character and in Cadence's case the attempts at "fixing" this problem ended up aliennating me from her). Even so they've had quite a few episodes (though Cadence has gotten two episodes devoted solely to herself, which we talked about on the princesses list), a total of

Check out this story I wrote: https://www.deviantart.com/mpatton17/art/Kingdom-aftermath-chapter-1-838569850

An early look at the first chapter of Rule for Bodyguards, my new story centered on the blossoming romance between Shining Armor and Princess Cadance,.

It had started out normal enough. Where had it gone wrong? He'd woken up, girded his armor, reported for duty, responded to a disturbance in the castle, spilled scalding hot coffee on Prince Blueblood...

Oh. Right. The Coffee Incident.

I have changed the cover of The Magician's Mantle a ridiculous number of times now, and just for the sake of it I'd thought I'd make a little compilation just to show how much it's been altered over the years.

I also can't take any credit for any of the vectors or artwork in these images, I didn't make the components, just combined them.

Well, technically that title was a lie. I posted it last night, but was too tired to post this alongside it. It's name is "A Friendly Visit", and I spent the past week or so editing and refining it from its rough draft I wrote the night after I watched Times are A Changeling

Now that A Scratch On Shining Armor is done, I will be moving on from that world for a time. In the future a sequel will come, one that explores the aftermath of mind-control and Cadance leaving, about Galea's machinations and strained love. But not now, not for quite some time. In the meantime, I have other stories that need attending to.

Hello MLP fans again I have a new theories for and its about Shining Armor. Have you ever notice that Shining Armor looks nothing like his parents and Twlight. Now I will go into story telling mode so you can know who Shining Armor true family. When Twlght's and Shining Armor's parents got married they thought they where't going to have kids. So after a lot of thinking they decided to adopt a baby unicorn. They went to the orphanage to adopt,when the pony who owned the orphanage said they

To those who are a part of the universe that has humans becoming anthro versions of MLP FIM characters, I'm deleting I'm Shining Armor?!

My rational for it is because I did it for the role-play thing, but since no one has contacted me, I see no logic with keeping it up.

I'll put it back up if asked to. If you want to adopt it, contact me.

So, this just came to me. Spike's mother is Celestia, his aunt is Luna, and Blueblood is his cousin on his father's side of the family. But what about on his mother's side? Cadence is Celestia's adopted niece, meaning that she too is Spike's cousin. That would mean that Shining Armor is his cousin in-law. Shining Armor is Twilight's brother, making Twilight the sister in-law to Spike's cousin. Does this mean that Twilight and Spike are family through marriage?

The season four two-parter finale gave us Princess Discord…

Season five has given us Princess Spike…

… And Princess Big Mac…

In a comment on Daedalus Aegle’s story, The Marriage of Princess Cadance to House Sparkle, I noted that I find Cadance a fascinating character in general. In canon she is a good pony, trying to do good things for others, with powers that could be problematic (mind-control-ish anyone?)

If I added a bonus chapter to Polyamory featuring Shining Armor breaking in Flurry Heart, how old should she be? Click here to vote in a poll.
Post other related ideas in comments. Just to note, there might be several versions of the chapter with her at different ages since I know my fan base is... diverse.

Hey all, I forgot to point out something that Melody Song made in light of my birthday this month. If you haven't read MiDtY, take the opportunity to listen! I enjoy their voice and pacing quite a bit.

Thanks Melody!

New chapter is new. If you enjoy it I'll continue the story still. Got time to write more now.

I hope you like it

Not an emergency announcement, since these are both already featured. Both were written for Scribblefest, Everfree Northwest's competition, which I didn't enter for some reason despite having about a dozen 90% finished but unpublished stories.

Really pleased with it, let them know what you guys think!

Interesting, IDW comics FF: They don't apologize for Blue Blood's flaws, and Celestia is fully aware of them when she gives SA Blue Blood as a replacement for Cadence on a important trade agreement to the Yaks. (they could have made Cadence look pregnant at least). Since something happens that needs all four Alicorn's attention.

Last year, I was editor on the story A Scratch On Shining Armor, an epic tale of intrigue, romance, resentment and deception. It pairs a young, rebellious Vinyl Scratch, who's had repeated run-ins with the law, with a junior guard Shining Armor, and has them play off each other in some really interesting ways. If you haven't read it, give it a go.

At Canterlot Palace, Shepherd is pacing back and forth and trying not to trip over his own cape.

Blueblood: "The entire Crystal Empire fleet is heading this way, Your Dreadfulness."

Shepherd: *groans* "Oh good! More pressure! I don't suppose we could just tell Shining this is all a wacky sitcom plot?"

Raven: "Alas my Dark Lord, he is unlikely to believe you."

Applejack: "To be fair, he does kinda hate yer guts anyway."
