As you may have noticed, nearly all of the chapters in Changing Views so far have had names referencing something, and that's something I want to keep doing until the story is finished. (If I ever get to finish it within a few years, at the rate the pacing is currently going )

If you've read up to the last chapter, then you know that Daring Do is writing a book.

The best part about these drawings is that I never even asked or commissioned for them. Genbu merely decided to draw them of his own volition, and then sent them to me. It's honestly one of the biggest things that have motivated me to keep going with the story, and I wanted to make sure that others could see them too instead of keeping them between him and myself.

Therefore, here are the couple drawings that he sent me of Artemis at different stages of maturity.

You should probably read the actual chapter before reading this post.

The following cut was my very first draft of the start of the chapter:

"Are you sure you'll be fine, Spike?"

The following cut occurred when Artemis was attempting to "fall from the ceiling" on top of Cadance

Clamps released, commencing operation 'Death From Above'--

"(You could say that.)"

"(There aren't many places where she could hide, though)" she giggled, movi-- wait...

TARGET MOVED!!! TRAJECTORY FAILURE! ABORT! ABOR--

*Thunk*

'Ow.'

Since writing the next chapter is taking me a bit longer than I thought it would, I decided to make this blog post to talk about something that will inevitably happen later in the story:

The season three premiere, A.K.A. The return of the Crystal empire.

Of course it won't happen for quite some time yet, but when it does happen, how will things play out for Artemis?

First, where would she be? Would she go with Cadance, Shining Armor and the Mane six, or would she stay behind?

Imagine being told a joke, a hilarious one. Obviously, you'll laugh for a bit.

Imagine being told the same joke again shortly afterwards. You might chuckle, but it simply isn't as funny anymore.

Now, imagine hearing the exact same joke again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again......

The following cut occurred when Artemis decided to 'poke' the ring out of curiosity while Daring slept.

*Boop*

She frowned in her sleep and once more scrunched her muzzle in the most adorable way possible, making me giggle while she remained unconscious as if nothing had happened.

(Spoiler warning if you haven't read my story up until "One does not simply walk out of pyramid fortresses". If you already have, then you're K.)

(Though, there might be small spoilers anyway)

Initially, Artemis was simply going to hatch at Canterlot, at which point a bunch of stuff would happen, but since the trek from the hive to Canterlot takes "at least" a day or two, I figured that if she was to be awake for the trip then she should "DO" something along the way.

Before I go ahead and work on the next chapter, I wanted to know about people's opinions on certain things.

The following is just a bit of...fun facts, I guess one could say, as well as ideas I either gave up on or modified while writing the latest chapter and/or the story along with me simply explaining a few decisions:

(by the time of this blog post, the first interlude is the latest chapter posted)

1: Chrysalis and her changelings not knowing much about Cadence is a sort-of reference to the fact the show just...made her "appear" out of the blue when the episode first came out.
