May Celestia and Luna have mercy on my very soul...

...but in reality I thought this was funny.

Remember folks - YOU asked me to make this.

My evil plan for this week was twofold: make up for the lukewarm If You Give a Little Love reception of new readers with relation to Mise en Scene by getting the new part out a week in advance from the projected three-week output time and write a story about Sassy Saddles for the EqD Writer's Training Grounds this week that relates back to said ongoing series, ending in me stirring up more fans from EqD's large stake in the fandom. Sunday, everything appeared to have gone as

Not too terribly long ago, I explained a few of the graphical whatsits that you can see in Fullmetal Pony. While that blog did go into some detail for the common "cutie dividers" that separate scenes, it did leave out the images on the other end of the spectrum - title cards such as the one above.

Not an hour and a half ago, I got chewed out by my aunt for something, that I'll admit was rather goddamn stupid on my part. And while this was going on, I basically acted like a dog with his tail tucked between his legs and the first moment I could, I bolted back to my room and hid.

A unicorn overhears from a hunter that this is the last forest where a unicorn roams. Distrought and worried, she sets out on a quest to find what has befallen the rest of her kind.

A simple plot, but the movie puts it to excellent use. My thoughts behind the cut.

they sing the story

As part of the School for New Writers I was part of a recording discussing questions asked of the teachers. It's been a while sense I did a video but I figured I'd give it a try. I still hate editing, but with some help it only took me a few hours so it might become somewhat regular.

So, no fancy. I'm just in a night of writing, and thought again of this because of spell power and fiction.
Not going to do complicated research. Just by memory:

First off: Nothing conclusive that Starlight Glimmer is more powerful than Twilight.

Spoilers. Obviously.

Nature of magic.

First off, Celestia can move the sun. Does it make her more or as powerful as the sun? Probably not.

If your mom was not a colossal cunt to you growing up, if you have not cut her out of your life for very good reasons (it happens, there are good reasons), do me a favor... call her. Even if you didn't get her a card, even if you rarely see her, even if you're not sure what to say. Call your mom. Call your grandma too. Let them know you care, believe me, it means more than you could ever guess.
Just yeah. Moms need love, and this is a great reminder day to give it.

NOT AS SHORT AS I WOULD HAVE WANTED (but that's my parents fault not my hairdresser)

I don't know if I'm going to do a milestone or anything for the event, but I do know that I'm hype for it. I thought the story would be closer to ending by now, but shit just doesn't seem to be slowing down all that much as I write. Maybe it'll close sometime in the Seventies, but for now, it's not looking like it's ending before we hit another 500k words. It'll be nice to have A Thief's Tale done, but I don't know. I've enjoyed the journey to get to this point so much, I might just

So, It Isn't The Mane Thing About You aired today. And it seems there's no comment thread for it today.

There's just one thing I want to say about it.

I like Punk Rarity. I figured the whole matter would be dealt with by the end, but I liked the look of her and kind of wished we could have kept her around a while longer.

First things first: Fucking finally. I've been waiting for this moment for too fucking long.

On another note, my work schedule is fucking weird. I'm on a 12 hour swing-shift that means I work two days, have two days off, work three days, off two days, work two days, then off three days. Get it? I don't, but that's not important.

Hey guys! Today, I published a new story. "Well where is it?" you may be asking. "I don't see it on your page." And you're right! That's because it's an entry for a colab! Now, I'm not sure how many of you are Star Wars fans here, and beyond that how many of you have seen Star Wars: Clone Wars, but I have, and let me tell you, it's a really good show. According to one reviewer, it changed Anakin into an actually good character and several other things that helped redeem the prequels

*Stares at blinking line on Word Document. It continues to blink.*

*Continues to stare.*

*More staring.*

*Even more staring.*

*Checks word count. Nothing.*

Yeah. This pretty much sums up all the work I've gotten done on any of my current projects. Seriously. I can find absolutely no inspiration, and I feel like an absolute heel for letting you all down like this. At least, I feel like I've let you down.

I think you'll find that this quote comes true in a surprisingly satisfying way this time.

I tried my best to make this arc as good as the Madmare in the Attic one that came before. Even if it's not as good as that one, it's still what you've all been waiting for: Coco going off on everything she's seen throughout the story and fighting back for real!
