My chemotherapy ended this week. Now I'm going through all the tests and stuff to see about rehooking up my guts so I don't have to have a bag hanging off me anymore. Once all that is done I hope to be on the up and up. Unfortunately it does sound like my recover from the surgery could be even longer than the initial one. I'm hoping it won't because it took me months to be able to recover from the last one. All depends on which form of surgery they have to use I think. Either way, when

If anyone has been wondering at my lack of activity, or even being on the internet much less here, the answer to that is quite unpleasant. I learned I had colon cancer about 3 or so months back. I've had the stuff cut out but due to how fast it was growing and their worries they couldn't wait for me to recover from a full surgery so now I've got a bag hanging from my stomach I have to empty for the next 6 months while I go through chemo. I've already been to the ER twice in as many weeks

It ended precisely as expected with more or less the final lesson it needed to address dealt with. About the only real thing I feel they missed was dealing with the death of a friend and one could make arguments that was done in the episode in the past dealing with Dash and her reaction to Tank's hibernation. All around I'm rather satisfied that on the whole the series stuck to what one could expect it to given its subject matter, setting, and own lore. It sure was sweet to see Twilight

Pretty much what is says on the blog title. Do you think Celestia can use the Ripple techniques?

Honestly, I rather liked the first two episodes this season. They even managed to portray Starlight in a way that I even found likable. Also, good job on continuity. So many shows let on like the movies are their own independent existence but this season picks up more or less the next day after the movie. I like that kind of story telling personally. I do hope we might see Tempest Shadow again but if not that is fine. Great to see Twilight finally dealing with other races which she should

Yeah, yesterday I was involved in my fourth car accident. Yesterday's, much like two days after I bought my first car when I was a teenager, was me being rear ended by another vehicle. No one was hurt but we'll see if this didn't total my car, again. And I was just about to turn into the restaurant I had called in my Chinese order to as well. So I'm stuck out there in the cold for nearly twenty minutes handling that mess with my food getting cold and just trying not to give into my urge to

To sum it up short and sweet: Meh.

Better than I had been lead to believe by some of what I had heard and worse than I hoped for. Kudos on Twilight finally having a blowup moment that she has been owed since the season finale of season two even if it was rather abbreviated and dealt with faster than it should have been. Also kudos on finally showing us what a hippogriff looks like in this setting.

Seems this finale is holding to the standard the show has been using pretty much since the start. Powerful enough magic users are resistant to age. This means Twilight was most likely going to outlive her friends long before she became a princess. Most likely she was going to outlive the average pony ever since she got her cutie mark given the raw amount of magic she unleashed demonstrating her powers to be more than enough to qualify.

Are there any zebra oc's who are named Zauberer out there? I ask because I have a plan for an original zebra character and that is my planned name for her but I'm unsure if is already such a character.

Okay, so I've had an idea bouncing in my head for the last... oh say around five months for a story where Twilight has to deal with an unexpected complication brought on by becoming an alicorn. In this au setting, the alicorns are deities and as such each of them have a few things that fall into their personal portfolios. Luna having night, war, and dreams as part of hers along with a few other minor ones where she holds perhaps lesser influence as an example. Normally this is simple as Luna
