Okay, the latest episode just added fuel to my headcanon about Maud having autism. From this episode, we learn that Maud has always had a hard time making friends, which is a struggle that many people with autism have. We also learn that Maud is actually pretty lonely even though she doesn’t always express it. This is also something that people with autism deal with. Furthermore, Starlight explicitly describes Maud as “weird” and “sees the world in a totally different way,” descriptions

Hmm, gotta break my slumber. I've got some ideas about circumstances Twi and Tempest could start growing closer, so consider this a draft. The setting: Twi has separated with her friends (reason unknown) and got captured by Commander Shadow, being kept in a cage at the latter's flagship, and summoned by her for an interrogation.

I'm not really clear on how one introduces oneself in this kind of format - "Hello" sounds too personal and "Welcome" doesn't seem right when I'm the one entering a new world - so I'll just go with "Thank you". Thank you to those who bother to read my stories or posts (few as they are right now) and thank you to those who have written/are writing/will write stories I enjoy. (I'm kind of hoping there'll be some overlap.)

After the last chapter for Fólkvangr I decided that a post about money would be a nice idea.

So, Gaetana explains to Gilda that one Eagle is equal to one Bit. That would depend if griffons would be willing to exchange the Bits they already have 1:1, but also if the rest of the world would do that. It would also depend if Snow Mountains would be able to provide that weight to their money.

Shakespearicles recently did a blog post called Pony Genetics. I posted the gene chart I created around 4 years ago to use in my brainstorming there, but the post got me thinking and I decided to revisit the subject. As a result I came up with a new genetics chart/headcanon to use going forward and figured I'd share. (This chart does not include Zebra or

Okay, so I have this fanfiction series that I love called the Royal Canterlot Family series by CartoonNerd12 and KidatHeart5. It’s basically a fairy tale AU series reimagining the Mane 6 and the CMC as the daughters of Celestia. I have a total soft spot for fairy tales, so it quickly became my favorite fanfiction series ever.

This batch of headcanons was interesting to come up with, mainly because for the first time I was writing not about one person, but about an entire school and some of its staff. Was an interesting experience, a bit hard at points, but still good fun.

After this, I'll probably do a headcanon entry for Crystal Prep (with a subsection on Principal Cinch, since she's so connected with that place), and maybe a followup post about the students of both schools...

Earth pony magic is the most subtle, most poorly defined part of equine thaumobiology, which is part of why I find it so fascinating. These ideas stemmed from the tribe’s namesake, earth. As anyone who’s watched Avatar knows, earth comes in a variety of forms. Suppose earth pony magic did as well. Suppose there was an adaptational aspect to it, with the magic responding to the environment and working to help the pony thrive there. What would result from that?

So as my first post of 2023, I wanted to discuss something I thought of recently; the parents of the Young Six. At first, I didn't think too deeply about this, but I was considering the idea of some of them interacting. After all, the students six are good friends with each other, so it would be fun to see how their parents would interact with each other.

It's there. Believe me, like a third world nation, they have tech of almost 21st century level in many places of Equestria distributed sporadically and seemingly at random, side by side with elements of the past, or what we would consider "the past."

Now to the point, I have a theory - well, two theories rather that coexist with one another - as to why we do not see power lines and the like throughout Equestria. I shall let pictures do the initial introduction to them!

An idea crawled into my brain tonight. It burrowed in deep and laid its eggs, and as the night has gone on more and more of them have hatched, and I've found myself with a theory that I must rid myself of (and perhaps, if the theory is successful, the ideas will crawl into your brain too.)

Well, my work's going well so just so I have some ideas for later;

Where do I go with Puddinghead and Smart Cookie?

I mean, I used the rise of Emperor Augustus for Hurricane and Elizabeth I for Platinum but I've never been able to find a figure from history to base Platinum on.

I mean, an insane elected authority figure?
Who do I base her on?
And don't make any Trump jokes. It's too easy.

Any ideas for how to conclude her story? Please let me know.

As I said previously, on my trip out West I had plenty of time to work on headcanons for the various Equestria Girls characters.

The Principals were the first set I finished, and after them I started work on two other EG characters.

Later, perhaps this weekend, I'll post the final set of headcanons I worked on during my trip.

But tonight, here are thoughts I've had about a certain, (unfairly) infamous guy with a love of playing the guitar.

What makes an unfinished worked notable? It’s an interesting question if you think about it, every creative type has any number of unfinished pieces, left in that state for one reason or another. Yet there’s usually only one piece that is known for being unfinished. When it comes down to it, the notable unfinished works are often ones done in the twilight of the creator’s life, often things they were working on when they died.

So, what does this have to do with ponies?

What do the dragons do with their hoards when they migrate? They're not shown carrying it, so do they leave it behind? Do the ones with hoards not migrate?

Why do they migrate? To see friends they're isolated from? to trade for their hoards? To socialize the kids?

What do dragons hoard? Gems are clearly valuable as food, but when Spike when through his greed growth he collected everything. does this mean dragons hoard things other than gems?

Well, I've just published the first half of my latest story, which is predictably AppleDash. Given that nearly half of what I've written is AppleDash, this probably comes as a surprise to nobody. The story can be found here:

...until Hasbro makes us all squeal like little piggies!

Sorry for my absence, art-wise. Been hard at work.
One thing I hope will cheer up my watchers is some anthro Eternal Knight art I indulged in, featuring characters from the Kilalaverse.
Supernova, Midnight's nephew and fellow batpony, is left in charge of bodyguarding the Princess while the Eternal Knights are out battling the unknown forces, as they do.
Over time, he and the Princess of the Moon begin a liaison that...bears fruit.
