I mentioned in a previous post that I wanted to ask Dr. Wolf if I could use his OC in Dr. Bobtail. Well, I did, but due to a line by Skaydi that I don't want to change (it showcases an important part of her personality), the story is PG-13, so I can't use his OC.

I originally didn’t intend on using this post for anything other than a review. However, with some of the ones that I’m currently working on still in the development stages, I found myself thinking that it wouldn’t hurt to post something different to make use of the free time I had.
And today, I wanted to show you guys the favorite outfits and forms of two mares who, quite likely, are often overlooked in terms of beauty and being adorable.

Looking at re-writing Spot of Tea again. Probably going to do it so it can be posted at the same time as the next chapter of A Deer Named John. Main goal will be to overhaul it to make it read like the other chapters of John. Then I will most likely be unpublishing Spot of Tea and attaching it to A Deer Named John as the prologue. Not entirely happy about it, but simply aiming for consistency. It will mean the loss of all comments on Spot of Tea which saddens me. Also the votes and views, but

Roseluck is great but she has company. This is my basic idea for what a Highborne thestral looks like in Foolers Rush In. Very underrated piece. The "bat pony" tag with a +200 upvote filter is some of the best fanart you'll ever find, if not explicitly, intensely, flamboyantly gay unless you filter out mature. You have been warned.

A lot of things all at once! Well, let me begin saying... I finally reached 100 blog posts, with most of my later blogs being work-related and meaningful which I'm proud about. It's strange to think I've had a mountain of things going on, but outside of that, it's deadly silent. Not much goes on in my own little bubble on here, since I'm not in any circles or discussions actively. Anywho, let's make this blog post a doozy, since there's so much to talk about!
