It was a pleasant evening, a couple of months after I received NCR citizenship. Not too hot, not too cold, not too windy, and not a rain cloud in sight. A good night to stop by the Gun Runners, though not for my usual reason. Sure, I’d stock up on ammo as always, but I also had a job in mind. Hopefully, a pretty safe job. Certainly not boring, if the tip I got was accurate, but safe. After some news I recently got, I couldn’t afford to put myself in significant harm’s way. However, I needed

When the queen is in trouble, she doesn't call Zipp, the next in line. She calls Pipp, the nothing daughter. A bit sus if you ask me.
When her daughters were gone, she hardly even noticed.
Pipp mobilizes her fans. Not a single one goes looking for the pup. It's just recursive social networking.

You may recall one option of the latest Thought Dissection blog was a story entitled Full-Court Press, a post-"The Crystalling" press conference. horizon made a very good point about how it was a time-sensitive concept, so I started fleshing it out. I was applying some of the final coats of polish earlier today when I realized that, honestly, it's just not a very good idea.

"The Great and powerful Trixie Hoofdiny."
An OC that we never heard of before. "Hello Rufus" - except for Izzy who seems to know him.
"It's Miraculous Ladybug!"
"He uses wires." - but where are they attached to? Now that's real magic.

There's a Crystal Prep-themed Sunset shipping contest on at the moment, and one castoff idea I had got me wondering about Sunset attending CPA... and running against a logical issue. At least I got a Dueling Keyboards

Hello, all. Just a heads-up that I've posted a new little snippet in Dueling Keyboards, my especially short story collection, which should be linked over to your right. It was inspired by a card game, and not my usual one.

"Surprise here!" The white mare cheered, smiling at the camera. "And, I'm here with..."
"Pinkie!" The pink mare cheered, throwing her hands into the air.

"And, today on Baking With Surprise And Pinkie we will show you how to bake..."

Hi there!

So while working on Their most faithful Student I made a short little intermission chapter about Celestia and Starsong. Which got me going on something shorter and cute. The story is going to be a one off short of around the 12,000 word mark. It's going to be S.F.W. compared to my other story, at the most there will be snuggles, much snuggles and cuteness.

Another update to Dueling Keyboards, this time featuring the twin Twilights and certain aspects of human world culture that seem less than likely to appear in Equestria. Enjoy!

I had one of those pesky ideas that just doesn't want to expand to two kilowords. As such, onto Dueling Keyboards it goes. Enjoy.

Wait, actual shorts happened? I only know of them because of PP's post.

Anyway, here's a link to the EQD post containing them... ---> Link <---

And now some one-two sentence reactions to each of them:

I'm making a few one shots for different stories. This is where I will write about my upcoming stories and a short summary about them.

Have you guys been keeping up with the recent EQG shorts? I haven't had much to say about them because they've been... kinda dumb, mostly? But they seem to be getting better and better. With "Best in Show" promising continuity, I was actually looking forward to the next one, and...

Well, just look at the blog title. You can watch it below.

Haven't been talking about the shorts lately, but these three came out with a shared title, so I guess that's worth a blog? Links are here.

Seriously great episode but seriously. First of all, I don't know why I stopped at episode 12- maybe that was the newest one or maybe it was just a bad run of episodes before this but this episode is awesome.

Dream magic is awesome and I have loved the idea of a dreamwalking Luna since she did that a few times but this is another level.

Bit childish though going from a Y7 rating to a Y that's kind of disappointing.

Celestia: "Oh my! I finally have a letter from Shepherd! Let's see..."

Letter: "Dear Princess Celestia. Today I learned that while friendship can be complicated it is actually more resilient than I thought even between species and with patience we can reach out and realize that this letter is actually a distraction while I steal your cake sorry it was for a bet I lost this should be a long enough of a distraction for me to get away later!"

Celestia: "Wait wha-"

Shepherd returns to his home, a great deal on his mind as he ponders the Princess's offer. His lusts aside, having a child is a big responsibility. Sure, he wants to be a father. He's always wanted to be a father.

But in a very real way, becoming a father here will mean that he's given up all hope of ever returning home to Earth. Because he couldn't just abandon his children or their mother. He'd choose them over ever going home to his planet.

Shepherd: "Hey Twilight. I'm off to Canterlot!"

Twilight: "Oh? What's the occasion? Didn't you just get done with one of your meetings with the Defense Council?"

Shepherd: "Oh, no. That snoozefest is over for another month. I'm off to help the Princesses with Luna's therapy."

Twilight: "Princess Luna's therapy?"

Shepherd: nods "Yeah! Apparently I'm pretty good at massages and touch therapy is really helpful for someone who spent a thousand years in isolation."

Shepherd went out with Pinkie Pie to hear one of Maud Pie's stand up routines. Pinkie was as excited as she ever was, practically bouncing up and down in her chair. Shepherd sat in the other chair, a bit cramped given it was built for a pony, but he tried to be as comfortable as possible.

Shepherd: "So, Maud's a stand up comic?"

Pinkie: "Oh yeah! She's hilarious! You'll love her!"

Shepherd: "Well, I'll give it a shot."
