    Double the Fun!

    Ahoy there, Captain! A Twofer Tuesday spotted, broad on the larbord bow!


    (The quarterdeck's gettin' a bit crowded, innit?)

    Just thought y'all might like to see the gals with their disguises on, and some of the other Nebulas.

    It May Be Ridiculous...

    Some Art of a More Pleasant Sort

    Because I am obsessive about those sorts of details, I had to know if the captain's gig could plausibly fit on Nebula's main deck with her gasbag fully inflated. I wrote a scene where that happens, and a little voice at the back of my head kept nagging at me to make sure I wasn't describing something that couldn't be done. Turns out after a morning of modeling and measuring, the gig can fit—just

    Circular Idiocy

Update to the Glossary · 6:20pm May 9th

As expected, sharp-eyed readers have spotted several errors and typos in the glossary for The Cadenza Prophecies and I have gone about fixing them. Nothing noteworthy there, but I also made a major overhaul to one of the illustrations that only served to explain one term. Now it is much more useful:

I am impressed. Though less so than I would have been had you also marked Twilight's sternum.

...it's too warm here for a coat, sorry.

:raritywink:

Whereas "aft expression" is a terrible thing to say a mare has.

'Stern Expression' gave me a good laugh, but I agree with Logan.
I always imagine alicorns with especially fluffy chests, so I feel Twi's sternum deserves a honorary mention here.

I'm guessing it probably had one of the actual ship parts before, but it's funnier to picture it originally only having "stern expression" and so I shall continue to think such.

:rainbowlaugh: I would have, if I'd thought of it!

"Stern expression" lol

If you are going down that route, then I suppose better stern than consternated.

I'm consterned that there are no sternstairs or sterndoors to access the sterngallery?

Access is through one of the four windows! (No kidding.) [At least for flightless creatures.]

5780043
iisee ...

5780067
iisee what you did there! :facehoof: :rainbowlaugh: :moustache:

5780043
So, after Rawboned Mari and the Zarabian military attacked, was anypony able to squeeze through those windows or fly around the sterngallery to save the planters, or were the Nebulas stuck with older food stores after Fluttershy rammed Nebula into Viper?

5780144
Unfortunately, the planters went overboard then. :ajsleepy: Another set also froze when Nebula did her crash assent over the Dragon's Teeth range, and there was a horrible sandstorm in Mareocco that practically abraded away the whole crop. Applejack is brilliant with plants, but she can't work miracles under all conditions.

iisaw, yousaw, we all saw for iisaw! :trollestia:

I can't help but notice that Captain Blackmane here lacks any distinguishing headgear. Perhaps a bicorne for the naval unicorn?

iisaw #18 · 1 week ago · · ·

She has one, but I haven't modeled it yet! A bicorn is traditional, but Twi became concerned about the terminology. Adding a bicorn would make her a tricorn, right? Spike calmed her down with a nice cup of tea, but she still had nightmares involving pirassoipi that night, so she decided to go with a fancy sort of slouch hat instead.

5780613
Pirassoipi have two horns, so clearly anything but a hat with a single point should keep Twilight safe. Logically, and all. Avoiding wearing a tricorne so as not to become a two-headed pirassoippos would just be silly. But tricornes are more infantry headgear anyway. Maybe donate one to Tempest, for science and peace of mind?

5780617
I think Tempest would look good in a tricorn, but then she's the sort of mare that would look good in almost anything. :raritywink:
