A mysterious hooded figure is seen on campus holding an electronic device with antenna making strange noises. What is she up to? A night-time statue cleaner? A magical portal maintenance maintainer? A gardener?
Hey there, folks!
Just a quick update: I've packed up all the books that are going to be mailed across the US, and I'm bringing them to the post office in... 8 hours. Dayum, I should really go to sleep.
Hey there, folks!
The books arrived today! Take a look at what over 250 pounds of horse words looks like:
Hey there, all!
Just a quick, big Thank You to all of you that have already paid. Over 40 books were ordered, and over 75% of you have already paid, which I find astounding. Thank you all again for your support!
As a reminder, if anyone is still on the fence, the order form is currently open but will close as soon as I get the final art.
Y'all are amazing,

Announcing the launch of the Journal of Equestrian Science, possibly the first publication devoted to the scientific study of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. This was an idea which came out of Needling Haystack's panel at Nightmare Nights Dallas last year, (check out his YouTube channel). It is the also the work of
Unlike some fans, I thoroughly enjoyed the new dose of Make Your Mark. Eight episodes of ponies being ponies, with extra glitter, was just what I needed this week as a distraction from the reality of Britain under our new Prime Minister. I’m pleased that the general quality has picked up again. After the brilliant start with the movie, the Chapter 1 special was a little underwhelming, and while fun, Tell Your Tale never really goes beyond a cute side show.
Zipp’s folding phone feels like a joint marketing opportunity with Samsung that wasn’t fully realised. Her cool hoofset has something like their Infinity Flex Display, which can be literally folded in half, but the shape is more like the Galaxy Z Fold series than a Z Flip (“Zip”) phone.
Here is my spin on MYM Chapter 4 Episode 3. Will I manage to write a random blog post to accompany every new episode? At the current rate, I just might get Chapter 4 done before Chapter 5 comes out. Unless I get distracted by something else. Let’s go into a story of mystery, cryptic messages, relationships, and rules that don’t make sense; and tell the tale of the Proton Spin Crisis.
Some years ago, as a young physics undergraduate, I knew a sociology student who would come along to a group I would hang out with, accompanied by her extremely cute four-year-old daughter. She was as friendly and talkative as Pinkie Pie—the sociology student, not her little girl, who was too shy to talk and would hide behind a chair if anyone spoke to her—and would talk at great length, to anyone who would listen, about the failings of the social care system, the leadership battles within the
Hello, everyone!
It's finally here: the order form for physical copies of "Sensation!" Thanks to everyone for their patience, and without further ado,
Click here to be taken to the "Sensation" order form.
Note that this is for the NSFW version, so I'm selling only to readers age 18+.
The finale of Chapter 5 nicely leads us to Dark Matter Day (31 October, also known as Nightmare Night), the time of the year when we celebrate the invisible component of the universe. Time for an update on this darkest of contemporary physics research topics.
“Pinkie?”
“Yes Dashie?”
“Where are we?”
“In the dark.”
“Yes, but where?”
“I don’t know.”
“Twilight?”
Twilight lit up her horn, casting shadows onto the walls of a tunnel.
The sun is four hundred times further away than the moon. It's diameter is four hundred times larger. This means when viewed from our planet, the two bodies appear the same size. Depending on the time of year, sometimes one is slightly larger, sometimes the other, but they are very closely matched.

Hey there, all!
I've sent the invoices for the physical edition of Sensation.
If anything looks wrong with your invoice or you wish to change your amount, please email me at vividsyntax [at] gmail.com as soon as possible.
Yup, finally saw Episode VIII. And for the most part, I liked it. There are just a few niggling bits that frustrate me.
Spoilers ahead for anyone who's managed to be slower than me.
Happy New Year everyone.
