In order to bridge the gap between my YouTube and Fimfiction audiences, I’m considering doing a livestream where I draw a banner and icon for the Swapped Roles group. It’ll probably be on a Saturday (not necessarily tomorrow), but I haven’t decided what time works best for both me and the majority of my viewers. Also, I’ve been having a problem where my streams have a different URL to the announcement-schedule thing. Any advice?

Before we get into the meat of this blog post, I've finally decided what fanfics I'm definitely going to write next year, and I'll make a blog post about them once I finish The Lost Fledgling of Griffonstone.

The jist of Silent Wings is that because Gallus and Silverstream are deaf, the Student Six don’t become friends by the time “The Hearth’s Warming Club” happens. When people asked me in the comments what this would mean for the fate of Equestria, I originally said that I hadn’t put much thought into it besides “Equestria isn’t doomed”.

Without spoiling too much about Runic Notation, there was probably never a Nightmare Moon in this universe, so there'd need to be another reason for them to come up with a holiday that happens to be exactly like Halloween.

An idea just popped into my head that it could have something to do with changelings, with the costumes being a metaphor for disguises (tricks), and giving out sweets being a metaphor for stealing love (treats).

In order to show appreciation for the 3DS, I decided to make a short review of this hidden gem - but there's more! I want as many people as possible to make their own short reviews of their favourite 3DS games. What's yours?

This was drawn by Cosmic Eclipse, who you may know for drawing the covers of several Pandemic side-stories, and writing two fanfics about batponies that got featured recently.

• We’ll see two other towns: a predominantly abada one, and a predominantly kelpie one.
• The officially-revealed summary for issue 92 mentions another Tree of Harmony. It seems obvious that the Fara6 will bear its elements, but I have a less-obvious prediction: the new tree is but a sapling.
• The new elements purify the grootslang, who turns out to have been a cursed good guy.

How many of my followers read the comics? In case you don’t, issue 89 introduces two new races in the zebra homeland of Farasi: abada and kelpies. I quickly fell in love with the design of the latter, and I might write about them interacting with seaponies once the Farasian Shores arc is over. I’m quite pleased with this drawing, so she’ll become my new avatar on Fimfiction.

That's the first arc if the season 10 comics. Does anyone know when issue #91 comes out?

• Wouldn’t it be cool if instead of having cutie marks, Farasians had to literally earn their stripes? I might include that in an AU.
• I love the kelpies' design and concept, and the two have the most standout personalities of the Fara6, too. I started drawing a kelpie version of Silverstream, but I can't decide what her stripes should look like and it's 10pm.
