Hey, girls.
Sorry for the maintenance yesterday. I have no idea hey I mixed up the dates. It was supposed to be next week :/
Anyway, I thought I’d open with some good news (on many levels :))
I’ve heard from TechNightling and he’s doing fine. (Yay!) he’s still not up to get back in things, but he has personally assured me that he’s no quitter and he’ll be back to ensure that the “rules are actually followed” :P
So until then feel free to mess about (just not too much).
Also, I’ve got PMs from Nightlings all over Equestria and they are doing fine :) (well, they still need dragons to unfreeze the ice, but they are physically well and going on with things).
As Lyra likes to say “let’s all do this together!”
HopHop
Yeah! That stupid jerk can’t hide forever! When I get him I’ll buck him like a rockslide!
AwesomePony
@AwesomePony: Oh my... I never knew that was your fetish. And all this time I thought you were such a respectable pony.
Brush
Huh?! No! No way! I’m not!
AwesomePony
Argh! I mean I am! I’m very respectable! Like the most awesomely respectable there is! I just love bucking!
AwesomePony
I mean I don’t like bucking! I mean I do, but not that type of bucking!
AwesomePony
Shut up! :/
AwesomePony
AwesomePony’s blushing!
CEOWitch
Yep, she defo is.
Fleetfoot
Aww... she yelled “you girls *yay*” and stormed off :P
Sometimes I honestly want Danny to appear as we’re on patrol and watch AwesomePony crash into the nearest cloud.
CEOWitch
Nah, Crash won’t hit a cloud. The cloud will melt of her blushing before she gets close.
Fleetfoot
You two are horrible! Karl x LightSparkle, Danny x AwesomePony... I ship it so hard! I’ll actually draw a comic about it! (Don’t worry, I’ll keep it mostly slap free... mostly.)
Oh, and a bit announcement on my part. I’ll be doing free commissions for the foreseeable future. Only thing is I’ll have five slots per week, so first come first serve.
PaintDrop
First!
RRBB
@RRBB: I was expecting that. Okay you get first... as usual, and I have no doubt what you’ll want me to draw.
And just so as not to go into spamming territory, please PM me, the rest of you :) I’ll let you know if you get a slot.
PaintDrop
Hey, girls, I’m fine. Wow it sure got tense there for a moment...
EverSpike
@EverSpike: What happened? Are you okay? :(
SweetStuff
He started with that, you idiot! :P
But yeah, what happened?
YouKnowWho
Well... now don’t freak out, but I was in Fillydelphia, when the Windigo attacked. Thing is, he started freezing everything, brought a huge storm and all, then—and I’m not making this up—saw me and stopped.
Seriously! He just looked at me and stopped! Then stopped the storm and flew off!
EverSpike
Yeah, right! :/ And I’m an alicorn.
MightyDragon
Seriously! Like, no joke!
I’m not the only one who see it! There’ll link an entire city here around me! And they all saw it!
Hmm maybe I’m like you know special?
EverSpike
@EverSpike: yeah. I’m sure :/ You were secretly born on Earth but moved here as an egg, where the ruling Princess adopted you and used you to determine who the next Element of Harmony would be. Following that, you became best friends with all Elements of Harmony, both Princesses... no, all four Princesses, plus a dragon lord, a changeling king, and...
O!M!G! Spike, you’re a living self insert!
RRBB
Har har :/
Just saying as it happened. And I’m pretty tight with Discord as well, by the way.
EverSpike
@EverSpike: I’m so glad you're safe and alright! Are there any Wonderbolts there that can help you?
@all: this is no joke? And while I’m glad we can all laugh in the face of danger, as we always do, this did happen.
InItForTheShipping
Umm, he’s fine. I’m there and the little guy is all okay. Fixing one of the frozen houses... well we might have to rebuild that. I used a bit too much force... O:) Nopony got hurt!
Lurkling
Go EverSpike!
I saw EverSpike and DaBoss join forces and form a unit to defeat the Windigo!
Joking aside, DaBoss is a wiz with lightning clouds, and Spike is obviously protected from the Windigo’s wrath...
MightyDragon
Somepony really must write all that stuff! I mean, those are stories waiting to happen. Spike being from another world sounds so crazy it might be true. Things don’t make sense once per year anyway, right?
YouKnowWho
I wonder... does AwesomePony sleep with Danny plushies in bed? I know she has Daring Do merch, but *yay*! I can totally see that. Won’t be surprised if she has a full room of those. In full size even!
...how tall was a human again? The size seems to vary in the various fics I’ve read. ;/
Feather
@Feather: if MixaMax were here she’d tell you that not only was this discussed ad Infinitum, but also there were direct references in MCE.
And yes, I totally see AwesomePony doing that. She probably even has a full-size human plushie hidden away... or two. You never know with her, because she’s so awesome :P
RRBB
Hey! Ember’s hear! You all get a big hi from her!
Edit: Ember slapped me... really hard. And it really hurts. Right now I wish the Windigo had frozen me. Would have hurt far less.
EverSpike
Spike, what you did was extremely brave, but you shouldn’t play with fire, or ice in this case, like that. We all like you, and don’t doubt you want to do the right thing, but please take care of yourself more.
I'm glad that everything went well, not only for you, but the entire city. In future, please let twilight know where you are going? She’s hyperventilating on the floor right now... has been ever since she read what happened to you.
Celestia
Hey, I said I was sorry :/
Anyway I’ll be heading back to Ponyville with Ember. (I hope I survive the trip)
EverSpike
So this was an important piece of information maybe? The Windigo saw Spike and stopped. Is it because it was still influenced by Twilight's heart... or is there a link to the G1 era ponies. That Spike that the Windigo knows personally and realizes that they look the same.
Also Spike is kind of a self insert isn't he with all those connections. Even in canon he has connections to almost every single celebrity in Canterlot as well since Hoity Toity and Sapphire Shores had to learn of Rarity somehow. He organized that fashion show getting DJ-PON3 to agree to hosting it. Twice if I remember right. Also the number of times he's had to go to Canterlot on his own to explicitly help the princesses. The tsundere relationship he cultivated with Ember and the brotherly relationship with Thorax as well.
Huh... Maybe Sunburst was on to something.
Why did Ember slap him?
I like this chapter.
And might write about spike the self insert someday
Brush is HARSH. Brush for best Nightling!!

It could also work well with my theory that the Windigo used to be a crystal pony.
8580339
The implication I’m getting is that it was a “I was so worried about you! Don’t scare me like that again!” slap.
8580632 Yeah, I thought that too at first, but that doesn't seem like a sentiment Ember would have expressed. It's probably something like that though.
Huh. So the Windigo sees Spike as its surrogate child because it has Twilight's heart and is unable to harm him? Interesting.
The Windigo recognizing Spike is important now we'll have to wait for explanation as to why the Windigo acted this way. The discussion about AwesomePony was funny.
8580323
It's an interesting theory, but I am not sure. Let's not forget Spike tends to be a bumbling idiot practically every episode that revolves around him. Like how he normally cooks for Twilight no problem, but then suddenly gets an episode being AJ's Endentured Servant and suddenly he can't cook worth crap. He helps clean and organize the library, but fails at cleaning. To say nothing of when he was basically a "Princess" for the day, completely screwing things up when Twilight was sleeping. I mean Cadence even said, "Spike you're being stupid an this is going to blow up in your face" and he did it anyways.
So I don't think a Self-Insert would be the Anti-Gary Stu every time he gets an episode ^^;
Still a fun theory though!
I hope somepony (or somezebra) has invented a histamine blocker for that poor dragon. Being in Equestria with feelings allergies must be rough.
