Oh dear. I just drew the connection between Starlight Glimmer and Clover's college roommate-turned-communist messiah, Chocolate Bunnies. They even both have the double-trochee name, which means I can set them to the tune of the TMNT theme song:
Starlight Glimmer, Chocolate Bunnies,
Starlight Glimmer, Chocolate Bunnies,
Starlight Glimmer, Chocolate Bunnies,
Communistic Ponies! Pony Power!
You can tell that I take my writing really really seriously, right? Because I do, probably far too much so.
I just wanted to report that the next chapter of The Education of Clover the Clever is almost complete. I just have to edit the last few scenes of the first draft, and I'll be meeting up with one of my pre-readers in person in a few days to get his feedback, and then it should be ready to go.
Gotta admit, I'm really nervouscited to see what people think of this one (which has contributed to its lengthy writing time, for which I apologize). We are approaching the climax of the penultimate storyline, and Star Swirl and Clover are, well, they are Star Swirl and Clover. For good or ill.
Can't wait!
This is one of the greatest things ever produced. Say what you will about the old TMNT show, but it had a damn catchy theme song!
Sounds ominous.
"Good" seems to be safe, crazy chromatic clones notwithstanding. "Ill" bodes nothing but trouble. To paraphrase Sphere:
"Here is Starswirl, a powerful, emotional pony wizard cooped up for 300 months with no one to talk to... none of the socialization, the emotional growth that comes from contact with other ponies... What happens when Starswirl gets mad?"

You might find this to be interesting.

It really did. We're gonna keep talking about that theme song until 2080.

The alt text on that XKCD is also great.

Not gonna hear complaints about it from me. It started something that couldn't be stopped.
