I enjoy listening to Pony music so much I have an iPod shuffle devoted to it: My PonyPod. I especially like the songs I can sing along to, so I end up reviewing official songs a lot. Occasionally, ‘the Failure Song’ from season 3’s Crystal Empire comes on, and I enjoying singing along to this little duet between Twilight & Spike. But one line just bothers me a lot:

I'm not very big on shipping (outside of the comedically absurd like having an immortal princess of the night fall for a certain straw hatted pirate or just having Sanji with... everypony) but I do occasionally make exception especially when I read a well written story like Fractured Sunlight and everything just sort of clicks...

Or when the canon is just begging for it.

In case you didn't notice, I just released a new one-shot about Twilight and Starlight foalsitting a baby Celestia. That's how it starts, anyway. As we know, babies aren't babies forever, and that remains true even for Celestia.

Give it a read, will ya?

I prefer this version so very much. Instead of Twilight just singing a generic Disney Princess song, this version builds up the parallels between Sunset and Twilight and shows how both of them are feeling about how out of place they feel. While this is a subplot for Sunset that doesn't gel with the rest of the film, it serves to expand on the plot and characters and move them along better than the final version does, which is what all songs in a musical medium should do.

So, my new friend Short Stories does readings of fanfics and puts them on YouTube. I thought I'd ask her to do one of my stories and chose a very short one for her — Zeno's Paradox.

This has to be one of the strangest YouTube readings ever, but I still love it.

EDIT: This short story has been moved elsewhere.

"You should tell her, soon." Luna says shortly, folding her arms as Celestia gazes out of the window at the radiant beauty of a Canterlot winter morning. The Empress frowns, pursing her lips for a long moment, but then she raises her hand and presses her fingers against the window.

Two things, real quick before I head to bed.

1) The We Two Queens sequel has a title: We Three Royals

2) Here's a tiny except from it:

Normally I don't do blogs. Heck, this is the first blog that I've ever written on this site. "So what's the occasion?" says the one person who might actually be reading this. Well, with season six quickly entering its final stretch I thought it was about time to talk about Starlight Glimmer. While I hardly think it's necessary at this point given the title, I'll go ahead and mark that this will contain spoilers for everything we've seen from season six so far, various other episodes throughout

Cuz why not? As always, spoilers ahead!

You may have noticed all the comments are deleted on that fic. If you're wondering why, it's because I deleted them, I don't like them and I don't want them.

Legacy of Kain: Harmony's Rise has finally been updated and you can read the next chapter here.

Thank you for your patience and I hope you enjoy this new chapter.

Getting back on the rant pony for a bit.

One of the criticisms I see lobbied frequently at Equestria Girls is that there's too many "slice of life" episodes.

As opposed to what in FiM? Just about 80% of the given episodes could be a "slice of life" stories. Yes, even ones where a character is called by the map. The big climactic events are the outliers, not the norm. Seriously, how many "big" events have we had over the course of the series?

So yeah, got wasted last night, and thanks to the coercion of my "friends", I have produced a, um, "quality reading."

It's a mature story, so if that's not your cup of cider, then perhaps don't listen. But... if you want to listen to me make a fool of myself, here you go: The Rabbit Hole
