Late in the evening, in the early summer of 2017, the EweChannel user 'silicapacket99' uploads a video that's a bit different from her usual content of several-hour-long, no-commentary let's-plays of various city-builder, factory manager, and colony-sim games.

The title: |Now It's Our Problem Podcast - Episode 1: The Fall Formal Inferno|.
The thumbnail: a .png of a horse that's been 'shopped directly into a burning building, both of which were probably taken from Giggle Images; all overlaid with the video title in bold text, plus the subtitle, |Feat. Sunset Shimmer|.

Might as well check it out. Her previous attempt to use her channel for something other than silent game footage kinda stalled out when the workload got to being more than she could balance with her education, but it was definitely interesting while it lasted.

Three Shadowbolts on the eve of graduation start a podcast about magical disasters – a conceptual crossover with Well There's Your Problem, a podcast about engineering disasters.

Rated Teen for vulgar discussions between young adults about motherfucking, pony profanity, and Pedestrian politics and religion.

Werewolves. Vampires. Earth people, a.k.a. humans. In a world where they've learned to cooperate, it's a bad idea to let your inner wolf off the leash. People tend to look up to you as a role model (when they're not looking at other role models who are way more awesome because they don't even need supernatural stuff).

Sour Sweet doesn't care about that. She just wants to snark at her girlfriend and pet monstrous abominations. But when the balance of power rests inside her own head, it's no longer resting on stable ground...

An entry in Imposing Sovereigns IV, using the prompt "Sour Sweet/Strength".

Sour Sweet never really cared about anyone except herself and beating Canterlot High of course. After the Friendship Games, she slowly but surely turned herself around and even made a few friends. When she prepares to leave lunch for her next class, she rescues a fellow classmate from a crime, leading to Sour to doubt everything about herself.

It has been one year since Lemon Zest graduated from Crystal Prep Academy. But while her former classmates are out chasing their dreams, she is unsure of her own life path. One night at a club, she has a most unexpected run-in with an old friend.

Contains: suggestive themes (go-go dancing), mild profanity, and alcohol references (no actual drinking).

Twilight is invited to an airsoft event at an abandoned school by some of her old Crystal Prep classmates one late night. The night, however, does not go quite as planned, as several surprises await Twilight on this chaotic night.

When Moondancer transfers to a new school, Crystal Prep, she is not sure if she will be able to fit in. She makes 2 new friends, and everything seems to be going well. However, as time goes on, Moondancer questions if they really like her or if they simply need something from her.

The Friendship Games are still fresh on everyone's minds - likely due to the near destruction of the universe and all such?

Since then, months have passed and things have certainly changed. Twilight Sparkle, for her part, has not only changed schools but practically become a whole different person.

But let's face it: we really messed up back then, didn't we?

After living with them for months, Sunset begins to suspect that her relationship with her roommates might be more complex than she initially realised.

Perception is a fascinating thing. Sometimes, how someone views themselves and how others view someone don't coincide. In fact, it can be absolutely baffling how different the two are.

The girl who seems to have everything together? She might be a wreck beneath the surface.

The girl who seems so inattentive? Perhaps she genuinely doesn't see the attempts to reach her.

The girl who seems so moody? Maybe there's more to it than what people see.

But of course, that's the thing about perception. Sometimes, it just doesn't line up. And few know that better than the girls at Crystal Prep Academy.

(This is a collection of little vignettes I'll be publishing, effectively going into my headcanons for the Shadowbolts. I hope you enjoy it.)

Twilight Sparkle is an addict. But in the wake of scrupulous crack-downs and bans, she has to turn to unsavory sources to get her fix. It’s fine. Just this once. After that, she’ll be done.
