A griffon is a creature that has the head of a bird, the hindquarters of a feline, and many of the character traits of both mixed in. Some of those traits show more obviously than others, especially one side more than the other.

And guess who, as Gallus's roommate, has to put up with them?

It's springtime in the School of Friendship and a certain squad of star students are feeling its effects.

Ocellus and Smolder are shedding their skins, Gallus and Silverstream are losing their feathers, and Yona's coat is dropping in giant piles of fur that look like the dead bodies of stray cats.

Everycreature's feeling terrible.

...It's probably a good thing that Sandbar decided on a cute nurse costume for his most recent sewing project.

After an earnest question from Sandbar results in a meltdown and tears, he's pointed away from Ocellus and towards the only Changeling who can advise him on how to make things right. It won’t be without meandering through a few different topics. Even well into his twilight years, Pharynx still enjoys playing with his food.

This is an entry in the Snippet Series, an anthology of old oneshots I (and my good buddy Str8aura) wrote based around interesting pics I found. New ones will be posted every Thursday for the foreseeable future.

After their rather eventful time together at the Amity Ball, Sandbar and Yona have decided to try and continue seeing each other outside of school hours. Their first stop? The local cafe, where Sandbar becomes more than a little nervous about their afternoon together.

Sandbar and Ocellus contemplate the nature of the changelings' main form of sustenance inside of a ring of magical fire. It's a nice bonding experience.

Sandbar cares a great deal for Yona, but the thought of meeting her family has him understandably nervous. What if they didn't like him? Thankfully, that turns out to not be a problem, and instead, he has to worry about something else entirely.

Sleepwalking--the act of walking while not conscious of it or aware of it, during one's sleep; to walk and/or perform other actions while sleeping; to somnambulate.

Which for Smolder, that alone is bad enough. Crawling into bed with Gallus while she's sleepwalking though...that's a whole other level of awkward.

(Takes place right after "She's All Yak".)

The dance has ended and it's time for everycreature to leave. But for Yona, there's still one nagging question she needs answered. Why did Sandbar invite her of all creatures to the school's dance? He could've invited anyone else, or just hung out with the rest of his friends.

Naturally, Yona isn't one to keep questions to herself. She seeks out a chance to ask Sandbar face to face, and Sandbar decides to confess.

But when Yona learns the truth, she'll be left with more questions and concerns than she had before. And it will be up to Sandbar to reassure her that everything will be okay.

Having spent as much time with the students as she has, Applejack has a pretty good feel for when something is bothering them, and right now, she's definitely getting that feeling from Sandbar. So, when classes finish, she asks him to stay behind to find out what's on his mind.

Yona and Sandbar are happily married, but nasty talk around town about their size difference have Sandbar a bit on edge. How can he be the stallion she deserves if he doesn't fit into the traditional role of being the bigger and stronger one?

Luckily, he runs into a stallion who went through something similar and gets a few pointers on what masculinity and love truly mean.
