Four ponies share similar backstories, in some sense, a what could have happened had this happened, and different reactions. Many only see them in pairs, such as Twilight and Sunset. Maybe, for some, Starlight. But, Moondancer should also be included in this. Yes, there are times when I feel like an analyst, even though I am a story writer, and perhaps I am partially so, I do enjoy studying these sorts of things.

How pathetic...!

It really disturbs me...

When I keep complaining how "MLP doesn't teach about the concept of death and how to deal with it." people keep bringing up "Tanks for the Memories" The way people keep comparing Tank's hibernation and Rainbow Dash's missing him (and blubbering over it) as the equivalent to "How to accept Death."

...It's not even close.

Authors note: just want to give a little more world building for Splintered Sky. Since I've mentioned amps a few times, here's a bit of in-depth info on their general properties.

In the wake of the Splintering, the sun-gazers continued to innovate on their artificing and enchanting skills. In addition to new runes, improved smithing and forging dances, as well as enchanting processes came the invention of the process to create amplifiers, or amps.

Wow. What an episode, huh? I'm surprised by how tense and emotional it got in places. I'm a little bummed by no Celestia where she would definitely fit, but other than that I can't think of much I didn't like about this episode. Other than Prince(ess) Big Mac which felt contrived, but whatever. Plus, the surreal imagery of the episode was fantastic, the Tantibus especially. That shot of it slowly traveling through the fissure was legitimately unsettling and I loved it.

Did you know that we only use 10% of our brains??? Imagine our potential abilities if we could use 100% of our brains!!!

Well, 100% brain activity is a seizure. Everyone would be incapacitated, but that's the price you pay for marvelous mental powers.

EDIT: (let's begin with random unimportant observations of MLP so I don't bore everyone!)

Why is Twilight Sparkle so good at magic? What makes her the best in her world?

Started it on a whim last Sunday and going to try to release it this weekend. It's the first of a series of bonus chapters describing what happened during UtM through the eyes of other Mane 6 members, written by them as addendum to Sunset's text. And first at bat... is Applejack! Be afraid, folks...

Been a wild ride, but it has to end... for now. In suitably appropriate manner, of course... In celebration of the 300th like, making it easily my most popular story to date, the epilogue goes live on Thursday morning.

WN sidestory updated with a new chapter. Part 2 of 3 of the Sunset Shimmer coronation arc. I hope you enjoy.

Next chapter of WN will come either later this month or the first week of next month.

Also, I had a new story idea that I will be posting later this month. Possibly later today, depending on how things go and how inspired I'm feeling.

Yep, that's right, chapter twenty four of the "Magic of... Music?" is almost done, and I promise you this will be an epic one, with it currently being over 3,000 words and counting. Now, some of you may have noticed I've added a Gore tag to the story, but I had to as the chapter does feature some pretty hefty violence on both the parts of the Zom-Ponies and the Royal and Night Guards along with the Elements of Harmony. But to be fair, you can't have zombies without a bit of guts and gore being

Yes, yes it has.

And yes, I will. I'm hoping to have it done during my winter break. My first semester of graduate school is on it's last week of the semester.

Of course, this is only partially an excuse, as always, because I actually have had more free time than I expected. Not always, but sometimes. But as always, I struggle and I fall and all my words sound awkward, so I avoid it for a while. I did work on it for a couple of hours last week, though. And I'd like to try again today.

Picture this, if you will, for a moment. Imagine a young man, an author. Well, a writer who has just recently become an author, having successfully published his first book. He's just been invited to a big convention, where to his excitement, he will be on a panel alongside some of fantasy's greats in writing (if I'm being sparse on details here, forgive me as I don't remember all of them).

CONTAINS MILD SPOILERS FOR SEASON 6 EPISODE 9. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

If anyone read my review of the latest episode, they would know that I was disappointed with only the brief cameo from Coco Pommel. Internally, I was also highly confused as to why Rarity referred to her friend and fellow fashion pony as 'Miss Pommel'.

Well today, thanks to Derpibooru, I got the answer.

Given how disappointed I was by Dance Magic, I tried really, really hard to keep my expectations for Movie Magic low, even as EQD teased an increasingly exciting slew of preview images.

I had nothing to worry about, this was great. :3
