Doctor Crossly of the very crooked Ponyville Medical Society tries to frame Grumpy Goat for a battering that he set up on two of his own office staff. Why would he do such a thing?

So, I recently started listening to the Hamilton soundtrack. I know. I’m late to the game. I’ve kind of been avoiding it due to the parental advisory sticker on the case. I’m old enough to ignore it, but I avoid it on principal because I don’t like listening to people curse. The history buff in me finally decided to give it a chance, and I actually kind of liked it despite the cursing. Honestly though, was all the cursing really
Well... today's the day. It's finally Christmas. So, with all the carols to choose from, that I have started from the Middle Ages, what song do I end this by? Well, on one in which I think not only sums up what the holiday is all about, but brings everything that I feel as my personal credo of Christmas. This song comes from one of the dozens Christmas Carol musicals in which has a very unique scene. It comes from right after Scrooge is taken to the past and been shown something that while it's
This carol is pretty surreal as far as my collection of Christmas music goes. As a medieval ballad, this is a song of a conversation between Mary and the baby Jesus where the mother tries to get him asleep without singing to him, however he insists despite being only a few days old. I'm putting this up because, as far as lullabies go, this tune from the middle ages is pretty catchy and beautiful as well. (And in case you're wondering what on earth the lady is talking about is because she's
Looking for new members for opinions and suggestions concerning headcanon and world-building.
Those already in the group don't need to reply but feel free to invite friends.
Dear Bronies and Pegasisters,
today is the first day of December, the month of my favorite time of year, Christmas. So in honor of the holiday and as a music lover myself, I’m going to take you all on a musical journey as I’ll share different carols, starting from the Middle Ages and progress to the modern period. As I go, I’ll give you pieces that are as close to the original that I could find. Today, I’ll be sharing with you all the oldest piece in my collection.
Today we're moving on into the Baroque era, and this time it's purely instrumental. This short concerto is by the composer who came up with the concept of the concerto, Corelli. On this particular piece, it bares the description of: "Fatto per la notte di Natale "(made for the night of Christmas).
Moving closer to modern day, today's choice is rather a personal choice then anything else. Years ago, my mother had joined a group in our town called the "Sounds Choir." In which every summer they put on a production of a musical in June and do a Christmas concert around early or mid December. Every year, they sang something different, but out of those concerts came memorable tunes that stick with me even years later. This carol was one of them because of the chorus. And while it is a much
I have been writing, I promise! But it has all been in my professional field of history. This last year or so I have written and had published two articles in the local historical society's newsletter, both featuring original research based on their collections.
Today is the last day from the Baroque period, but nevertheless, I've chosen a piece that is widely known and still performed. Handel's Messiah. While we tend to look at this music as a strong tradition of Christmas, charity and divine pieces as something that came from God himself, the truth is that it wasn't always seen like that. If anything, before Handel could premiere it for the first time in London, it was controversial even before anyone heard a single note of it. This was not only due
So, I've just posted a new story to Fimfic and it may look a bit... familiar to something else I wrote a couple years ago.
That's right! Steamboat Willie hit public domain today! And in the states, too!
So be sure to draw or depict Mickey, Girl Mickey, & Black Pete exactly as in that first cartoon, except the huge~ ccks you designed to be ~exotic~ or whatever, and those rabid jerks at Disney can only grit their teeth now!
Hey.
Today's a sad day for me, and for all Jewish people around the world. I thought I could honor the memories of those we lost by sharing some stories of courage and bravery.
Can I just share with you all some of the silly things I've found myself typing into my Google bar these past few days? I assure you, it was all in the pursuit of writing research. Still makes me laugh, though.
The year is 2013. Season Three of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic has finished, the first Equestria Girls movie has released to a middling reception, and BronyCon has moved out of its New York City hometown to its new home, Baltimore. The overall sensation in the Brony fandom is that of change: a princess Twilight instead of a unicorn, a new group of human characters to parallel the Equestrian ones, and, though it is more a vague sensation than a firm recognizance on the
This is a list of the ideas I have to write so far, mind you, the only ones that I pretend to write are the ones which ending I have already done (the rest is just getting there):
1.- The Great Dictator: Times of Swift Rise (Finished)
The one being written so far, Mainly being used to get the hang of writing a fanfic (or writing in general).
2.- Legacy of Kain: Harmony's Rise (Being Written)
Today is going to be a very short trip into the Classical era. In which I'm presenting to you a piece of music that has been forgotten. I'm talking about the Sleigh Ride piece by Mozart. No, not Wolfgang, but his father Leopold.
Well it's about time I got around to Tchaikovsky. Yes, today's choice is probably the only classical thing to still go on the radio. And for good reason, the famous Nutcracker Suite (based on the ballet) is still what most people think completes Christmas. While the original source material didn't do quite so well when it was first performed, the music and its story has became a staple of this time of year. But just to focus on the suite, I know there's a million different recordings of it, but
