Two princesses. Two thrones. Two ponies. What could go wrong?

Oh, right! This chapter is illustrated.

Huh. You’d think the episodes about stealing cutie marks would’ve covered Starlight’s secrets. Let’s see what else we can pin on Old Equestria’s Handicapper General. Maybe it’s time travel!

---> Full Chapter <---
===> The Comic Book <===

Not from writing, silly!

Retired from the day job. Last Friday. Can this be construed as meaning more writing and more chapters?

Yes! Expect me to post a lot more often. BTW, I posted chapter 29, today. Check it out.

Spike gets taken along because Twilight can't be in two places, yet. Starlight learns why the little guy is so useful. Mysteries also deepen despite everypony trying to solve what happened to Firefall.

Ch43 dropped. Starlight is figuring things out, but will she understand before it's too late? At least Sunburst and her will have a good night... or will they?

Ch 44 is the start of the End is Neigh (pony for nigh) arc of chapters. Starlight ought understand what's happening. She's had plenty of clues. Does she? How can she fight what she doesn't understand? As a reader, remember you have the history presented in the series so don't be too hard on our favorite reformed evil mare.

Yeah. It's a TWIST. You'll have to read the chapter to find out what, and it's a duesy.

If you answered "me" to the blog title than Nova Quill has got your fix.

Fresh from Sunset/Starlight/Spike have no parents land:

Man, oh man does this piece fill me with emotion, 'cause damn if that isn't a pair of the saddest ponies I've ever seen plus dragon.

StarBurst is best ship. It's got the best ship name, Starlight and Sunburst have very complementary skills (crazy magic power + crazy magic knowledge), and they would be a totally OP couple.

TLDR: Best ship is best ship because bestness.

I'll fight anyone who thinks otherwise.

Oh, and PS: Celestia and Luna confirmed for not having been born alicorns.

Ok so let me make this clear right off the bat. Starlight Glimmer as a character is alright, but I don't like her for what she represents. She may be Twilight's "pupil", but it's been shown that shown that she is essentially Twilight's equal in terms of magical power. A potential rival. You know who also filled that role? Trixie.

There's something about old soup that just doesn't have any real appeal. I'm not talking, "We made it two days ago and we have to have it again because there's so much of it," old soup. I'm talking about, "Hey look I found a can of it in the pantry and it's six months past the expiration date, well nobody else is going to eat it," old soup. Well here I sit with that particular can of old soup warmed and ready for consumption. As I look at the steaming bowl I can't help but think that

'ello all, you've probably noticed there's been no update to the story for awhile and it'll probably be a few more days until you get the next one. I've recently moved into a new house, I'm getting ready for Uni work, meeting new people and drinking excessively... Basically I've been to hungover to write.

Heya readers! Fans of Sunset Shimmer is MAD at Everything might enjoy my latest offering. Once again, it's Sunset being inserted into an episode to play helper to a certain pony who almost destroyed the planet. If you enjoy Sunset's unique approach of helpfulness then I do suggest you check out A Newspaper Solves Everypony's Problem.

And as always, thanks for reading!

I've been re-watching Season 6 to prepare for and ease into Season 7, and I just finished watching “Every Little Thing She Does.” On the first watch, it rubbed me the wrong way even though parts of it made me laugh. I thought it made Starlight seem like a borderline sociopath. On the second viewing, that issue didn't seem as pronounced. True, Starlight acted purely out of selfishness, but she probably intended to lift the concoction of mind spells as soon as she got the all the activities “out

I am hilariously late to the party on this, but I wanted to speak up because I watched the two season openers today and my main takeaway was how damn much they gave us to discuss.

Seriously, this was a pair of episodes just dripping with implications around the edges. I'll jog through the list after the break.

So like,

A shimmering sunset is as the sunset's ending right? Sun is shimmering as it sets over the ocean at a beach is the most popular example.

Sunset fell and was banished and Twilight became Celestia's pupil.

The Sunset Shimmered and then Twilight Sparkled.
