Huh.

That uh... that uh kinda snuck up on me.

What the fuck do I do.

Trying to get things organized in such a way that I can take a much needed two week break from work and fuck off around Europe before, fuck I dunno, WWIII breaks out or something, hopefully starting August 31st. I'll try to have a chapter up that Monday so you guys won't be unduely delayed in receiving an update because I am off pulling a Napoleonenriching myself culturally. Going on the Interrail and thinking of starting in Rome, working my way up to Venice (wondering if I can squeeze

Chapter will be up next Monday, working on like, five different images for some reason, working on th emaps seeing as we're leaving Eastern Equestria behind in the story and I MAY OR MYA NOT have figured out my own damn fucking cipher so we can get back to the blogging minigame.

Meanwhile have this little backstage brainstorming that made me have a horrifying realization.

Okay guys I need your help, something weird happened to my story.

Like, there's this weird number on it now, the top right hand corner I've never seen before.

One followed by three zeros? What manner of heresy is this? I don't even accidentally what?

Like what does that even mean, am I trouble? Oh God what did I do, am I on fire? I'm not on fire right?

Work has been kicking my ass, life has decided that now that I have money it'll be fun to take away as much of it as humanly possible for shits and giggles before I even do anything with it, and I can't summon up the will to draw any more images, think up new riddles or even solve my own cypher (I fucked it up and it needs to be reworked), and now I am sitting here, looking ahead to the changeling arc and just kind of... slumping in my seat.

Basically these chapters take place within the two month time period that was timeskipped between this chapter and this chapter.

Alright so I just discovered this was, in fact, actually a thing.

And I know a disturbing percentage of my readerbase for Bad Mondays actually engages in this sort of thing, (as well as a surprising number of military bronies from various militaries from America to Sweden, but thats another discovery for another time).

Why?

*Writes timeskip chapters and thinks he is very clever
*Writes a scene were Handy uses his authority as Sword of the king to give an overworked Joachim the night off and get much needed sleep, deals with irritable petitioners in his stead.
*Sees today's episode.
*Exactly the same concept.

So I am going to need a bit of time to process what in the actual fuck just happened in today's episode.

I will admit though, the Mane Six getting locked out made me laugh.

When we reach the end of the current arc (Blackport/Manehatten) and I post its interlude, I'll be taking a pause before moving the story forward.

There are two chapters I need to post in the timeskip period that took place before the Tournament arc. (Between chapters 20 and 21)

Let's see how much I got right.

...Totally wasn't expecting griffon-dwarves and the not!Arkenstone. Hit way the fuck off the mark there.

At least I got that whole 'Anygriffon' thing right.

So, being unemployed just before Christmas, I barely get anything done for three months and then I come out with the long delayed Shortbeak chapter and its ludicrous word length.
