New story today and of course it has changelings. As before, please leave feedback and constructive criticism if you can, whether you enjoyed reading it or not.
Alternate Title: Identity — I’ll explain why later.
Oh, this chapter… Ch.7(Pride) had the most radically alternate version of all the chapters after Ch.4(Optimism), thanks predominantly to it suffering the most from the personality issue getting axed. I’m not entirely satisfied with what I ultimately settled on, but I still think it’s a good chapter.
Let’s get into it!
~ The Aftermath of Burnout ~
Been busy writing stories, which is kinda funny since I keep getting more and more ideas. It's getting to the point that if a singular image inspires me, I write something fast (if I get their permission to use the image for the cover).
Anyway, newest story is entitled 'Passing Afternoon', which goes to my love of Spike and Apple Bloom. Kind of a throwback to my early writing of those cuties.
Something I noticed with S6 ships is that no one is really willing to experiment with their possible shipping dynamics the same way we do for the Mane 6. Seriously, dig around for a bit, and you’ll find hundreds of fics for literally any arrangement of the Mane 6 paired off. But for the Student 6? It’s pretty much just Gallstream, Yonabar, some Gallbar for flavor and Smolcellus simply because they’re the only two left. I can think of maybe three Smollus fics in total that I have seen on this
Equestria never stays the same forever. Months ago, three savage criminals have turned into stone after they use their powers to take over the lands. That is until the current ruler of the Changeling Kingdom decide to see the statue of his former queen.
"Hey, Thorax? I-I had a question."
"Yes Ocellus?"
"Well, um, I know you and Pharynx and Tempest were arguing over who would 'marry' Pharynx when he wore that wedding dress...I was wondering whether you were joking or not, because, well, you already have Ember..."
"Oh, no, that wasn't a joke Ocellus."
"What? But-But Ember-"
"We're married too."
For those who didn't get the messages about it, I've finally begun dropping the first chapters of I Thought You'd Never Ask, the sequel to the well recieved What's Your Problem?. This one has a much grander scale, and will follow the Young Six, and everypony at the school of friendship through a series of field trips to the neighboring
If you can picture my face, this is how I’d look before starting work in the office.
We’re in the final stretch now, and there’s no better way to begin bringing this story to a close than the event we’ve been hyping up since the very beginning: Gallus and Silverstream’s 2nd Date.
This has been a long time coming, and you better believe I relished every second I wrote this chapter, especially since I could finally write the lovebirds being actually happy!
So... I'm noticing that it's taking me a while to get around to making actual cover art for I Thought You'd Never Ask.
I was hoping to go with something abstract, like the first story, but this time representative of five-to-seven nations: Yaks, Griffins, Hippogriffs, Changelings, Dragons, and possibly Equestria and/or the Crystal Empire. Since it's not getting done, I figured I'd at least ask: does anypony here want to help me with the cover art? It would be very much appreciated!
"Alright, that's the last straw!" Ocellus snarled, pacing around in her room. Pharynx had picked the locks to let them in. "They can't scare us like that!"
"So what are you suggesting we do, exactly?" Pharynx asked
"Hm..."
~Later~
"Heh, did we get those guys or what?" Venom chuckled as he, Cricket, and Sunset re-entered the Change Gang's home.

The greatly coveted time has come at last. The next season of MLP:FiM begins. And now, with its premier, we have two new episodes. Enter School Daze, Part One and Part Two. If you read the title, then you clearly know this is a review. Let's get on with it, then...
It's the return of the Student 6 - I'm sorry, the YOUNG 6, as they are named in the mobile Pocket Ponies game (which is actually really solid). Eh, think I'll stick with Student 6, at least for this post. That's what the fandom mostly uses anyway, so it fits for this post.
I'll preface this by saying I, by and large, have never really warmed to the Student 6. Just bear that in mind.
(WIP)
Guards, and friends, and Diamond Dogs, oh my!
This episode hit all the right chords with me. All of them. It deals with a lesson for life that is important, but underestimated by many in this world, in a society where people are quick with throwing old things away:
Preservation is important to retain the remembrance on those we have lost.
