Day 288 in the Dark Equestria (+ Missing Message!) · 7:33pm Nov 13th, 2023
A small, special and spontaneous, unplanned blog entry for "The Sky is Gone: Acceptance" today. Because all I need to say is that I forgot to publish one message yesterday.
A small, special and spontaneous, unplanned blog entry for "The Sky is Gone: Acceptance" today. Because all I need to say is that I forgot to publish one message yesterday.
Tomorrow is the day when my freshly-optimized Patreon and Ko-fi account will relaunch. But that's not the only thing that will happen tomorrow, "The Sky is Gone: Epiphany" resumes updating, as well!
Silverstream's new messages for today have started releasing! Enjoy!
Stay not where it lurks, lock the door, turn off the light.

There is one more set of Silverstream's messages going to be released today. I was passing out yesterday and did not manage to release messages anymore because of that, but I did not want to delay the releases, so I caught up with the release of yesterday's messages today. Which means, the messages that I have scheduled to be released today are still coming a little later.

Yep, straight horses people! I'm not crazy, I just enjoy Lunbra! So if you wanna get some smexy straight horses doing the do, get it: Night Company. Now have cute Luna dancing:
MLP Fakies: Lalaloopsy Ponies
MGA Entertainment (also famous for their Bratz toy line) made another line of dolls known as Lalaloopsy. The Lalaloopsy dolls are actually look pretty unique. Although I would never own one myself (or really any other doll as they kind of freak me out) I can definitely see their appeal to collectors.
Here is an example of what a Lalaloopsy doll looks like.
Lalaloopsy - Yuki Kimono Doll
This is it! The kind of episode I have waited for! Finally, for the first time ever since "School Daze", we got a proper, 100% Student Six episode again! And it delivered in the best way possible!
Not only is it another Hearth's Warming Eve episode, something Season 7 did not offer to us, we also learn a lot about the lives of Sandbar, Gallus, Yona, Smolder, Ocellus and Silverstream and about the culture and traditions of their homelands!
I’ve been re-reading Scott McCloud’s Understanding Comics, and I have at least one blog post planned based on that book. If you’ve never read it, it is an interesting read, and at some point, I’ll likely write a review of the book, but I can tell you that if you’re interested in comics as a medium, it is well worth your time.
Today’s stories:
What If I… I Mean, Somepony… Were? by Eruantalon
What Did You Call Me? by bookplayer
Yesterday, someone linked me to a r/WritingPrompts thread on reddit with an interesting prompt that inspired me. The prompt was "It has long been believed that the Illusion school of magic is by far the weakest of the schools. You, an acolyte, begin to suspect that it is in fact the strongest school, and the elder illusionists have been going to great lengths to hide this."
The eternal darkness is here. There is no sun anymore, no moon and no stars. Everypony is gone. Every animal as well. The world is empty. Monsters prowl the streets. And Silverstream is in the middle of it all. She only has her mobile phone and her own voice to keep her company.
How do you survive in a world that has gone completely dark, where everything tries to kill you and your only glimmer of hope is the electricity that charges your phone?

I have been spending too much time in the cold lately, so I was in bed with a strong fever yesterday. But I feel somewhat better, so the releases continue!
Stay easy as a filly!

TWILIGHT: "Would you look at that, Spike! Our opening screenshot shows off that most useful of animation principles - smearing! Okay, it's mostly wind, but it counts! How often do you see that in Flash?"
SPIKE: "..."
TWILIGHT: "...you don't know what smearing is, do you?"
SPIKE: "...No..."
My tooth pain is better now, still pending an actual treatment, but the pain is away now thanks to antibiotics, so "The Sky is Gone" can continue! I am making this short, cause I just had to mop the floor in five rooms of the apartment (don't you love it when you have a roommate who doesn't do anything to clean?) and I'm pretty tired after that, so there is no fancy presentation in this blog entry, but the messages of today have started releasing where you always find them.
New messages by Silverstream start to release now. Another set of messages will release later today, at 7 PM EDT.

"The Sky is Gone" goes on a little, scheduled release break for 3 days. Silverstream and Rumble need to get some rest after their disturbing encounter. But today is the 1st Anniversary of "The Sky is Gone". And to celebrate that, I have big news and a special announcement to make.
Everyone who followed the story until now and has taken a look at the message count lately should already be able to make a good guess.....

Good morning. This is, from my point of view, a comedy blog. From the point of view of my family and loved ones, it's a horror story.
I'm so fucking back, baby. Hi, all. Did you miss me? I know I did.
Here is just a little reminder, for everyone who missed the announcement last week. "The Sky is Gone" will return here tomorrow, after it already continued 10 days ago on my Patreon.
The Dark Season has passed by and the Hearth's Warming Season begins.... But that does not mean that the horrors and spooks are over..... Part 4 of "The Sky is Gone" is here.
The verdict has happened and Silverstream has changed. Her powers are lost and her company is gone. She is weak and alone, in a strange, new place that is filled with an uncanny amount of light. Is this what she wanted? The return of the light she has hoped for a long time ago?
I am finished with archiving everything from MythrilMoth. I went over five different web presences and archived content by him in the WaybackMachine. It was an insane amount of work and I'm just tired now, in total, it took 47 hours and 12 minutes to archive it all. But it was necessary, because Zef implied a possibility that his accounts could get deleted, either by his wish or by demand from his family.
And here comes the second set of messages, the ones meant for today, after catching up with the release of yesterday's messages. Enjoy!
