One of our mods, Perfectly Insane, has finished a long-term animation project!

Do give it a watch, and if you liked what you saw, please comment on the video and/or at his blog here on FIMfiction!

A new song from 4everfreebrony - HORSE IS GOOD.

Go watch this if you haven't already. Horse, as we all know, is good!

Well! It turns out that SPANIARD KIWI has translated most of my ponyfics into Spanish! They are posted on his deviantArt account, with the links below.

My knowledge of Spanish is very rudimentary - I can ask for touristy directions, order a beer at the bar, that kind of stuff - so I can't say anything about the translations. Except that this is very cool, and if you do know Spanish, why not go and check them out?

What do we know of Cozy? Not very much, when it's all summed up. She's a young, cute -- and deliberately cutesy -- pegasus filly, with a cutie mark of a red chesspiece, a rook. She is intelligent, manipulative, ruthless, and power-hungry. She pursues great magical power at any cost, and shows little or no hesitation in conspiring with monstrous non-pony villains against Equestria. In the end, she's one of the biggest threats, and most successful villains, the Mane Six ever face.

Some musings on the G5 ponies and swords, inspired by this pic I saw on Estee's discord:

And the comment by 3UnitoidsInATrenchcoat: "All right, who gave Sunny a sword?"

They say that everything old is new again. Sometimes that's true, I think.

In this case, I've been reading a lot of ponyfics lately, including many old ones from my list of favorites, that I hadn't read in years. I've been reminded of stories that I had almost forgotten about, and reacquainted myself with ones that I've read several times over already. And over and over again, I'm surprised and impressed and thrilled by how good they still are.

Where, indeed, is Sunny's mother? We see Argyle, her dad, and the movie very strongly implies he's dead -- or has been missing for years, presumed dead -- but there's no sign of her mother anywhere.

Similarly, Sprout's mother Phyllis features prominently, but there's no sign of his father.

What the title says, basically. The new Dune movie is seriously good, and if you like Dune, or sweeping SF epics in general, you should go see it, preferably on the biggest screen you can. It's gorgeous! The movie follows the book much better than the Lynch film did, and lets the environment play a big role, as is fitting.

If you haven't already, go get vaccinated against Covid-19, ASAP. The vaccines are safe and they work.

Do not try any of the purported "cures" like hydroxichloroquin or, sigh, ivermectin.

No, I do not want Nazis in this fandom.

I don't want stories about cutesy Nazi OCs, who exist to give "ironic" cover to actual Nazis and racists, and to normalize Nazi presence in MLP fandom.

I don't especially want people saying they're doing this in defense of free speech. They are, at best, fools who aid and abet the far-right that wants to destroy freedom of speech; at worst, they're Nazis doing it on purpose.
