Is it a bad thing that I could listen to Rarity's crazy laugh for hours?
In fact, maybe I will.
Of course somehow that promptly led to this, which I seem to find hilarious for some reason.
I blame you for this. Ponies on Youtube are about as addictive as TVTropes. Have some spinning Applebloom, and then you can have some more, with perhaps better music. (Isn't that Megaman?)
Hey, Phoe? How long can a story summary be? If it's under 200 words, I can get away with it, right?
Send me a preview in a PM or the instant messaging service of your choice (or e-mail me, I guess) so I can take a look at what you're planning? I'd need to see what you're planning to know whether or not it needs to be pared down or not.

So, I got the idea by thinking "I should totally draw stuff that's thread related from now on!" and after getting over all those pictures of ponies seducing the camera by eating fruit - because this is for public consumption, after all - I went with a Chasing Rainbows themed picture.
Fluttershy looks plain because I free-handed her, with no setup what so ever. I think she turned out well though, except the hair. And those eyes! Luna in Chains that was a stroke of luck. I guess all that practice drawing Silver lining paid off; i had noticed she had unique-ish eyes, but never really paid them mind.
Dash was fun. I got some pretty good work there, too. And then I found a screencap of the exact pose I was drawing her in when I was 90% done and looking for a CM reference. Grr. I also noticed, when done, that she is drawn at a slant. I'm no kicking myself for not drawing Dashie first (...did I seriously just call her 'Dashie'? Wow.) so I could line Flutteryshy up in a more dynamic fashion.
With luck I can start on "tomorrow"s picture before bed so it's more thought out.
Hope you like it, Phoe!
This is great, thanks so much for submitting it. I just wish I could have been the one to upload it. I am so upset right now. Stupid electric company. >.<

I think he was joking. I hope he's joking! I am guessing he wanted the descript for a good story to be a horrible story of it's own.
That could actually be pretty swell though. Now I'm torn.

Oooh, so that's what happened to you ;3
I was worried but was going to wait the customary 24 hours.
Out of curiosity, what would you have done as the theme, were you not powered out?

I think it's about time to wrap this up. So there's only one possible ending for this..
Sorry for teh cliffhunger, lol. il write when back from vacation. won't write more chappies until see 10 good revews. I go to spain now, awfvedersehen.
Satire is nice, but come on, who would do such a thing? Begin a story, post it in early January, write most of the second part and then ignore till this very day. No-one.

Or you could just start using the Mareiam-Webster, like all gentlecolts do these days.
Or I could settle for Uppercuttish. We exchange all information through the medium of uppercuts. Like so!

"You think things will turn out for the best? HAHA SOMEONE THREW A BRICK THROUGH YOUR WINDOW"
"No, no, I'm being serious now. No tricks. Today the world's gonna be pretty good. ANTS IN YOUR FIRE DETECTOR!"
"Okay. I'm going to level with you. Today, the air is sweet, you're rested and refreshed and everything will - oh, did you just open your jar of honey to discover a colony of spiders? Gee. I wonder how long until you start trusting me again!"

Allow me to reply in Modern Cupcakes, in which I relay my information through the preparation and frosting of the cupcakes that I make from your internal organs. Like so.

And yet, the window can be replaced. The ants can be cleaned out. The spiders... BURN THEM WITH FIRE, EXTERMINATE THEM, EXTERMINATE, EXTERMINAAAAAAAAAAATE-
I'm sorry, were we talking about something?

Stop being a baby and eat your spiders or you won't get any dessert
Oooh, so that's what happened to you ;3

I'd like to tell you, but I'm planning on trimming one of the later themes in favor of sticking as closely as possible to my original schedule and just using it tonight instead. It wouldn't be fair to everypony else if I gave you a head start, so please forgive me for remaining tight lipped.
Also, I'm realizing Sethisto doesn't think these things through anywhere near as much as I do... wings? I guess that forces ponies to think a little more about anatomy, but where is the lesson? Today was supposed to be about proportions! I've got to get through all the basic lessons so I can start getting to the crazier and more advanced stuff!
@Raz_Fox: I got your submission and am forwarding it to the pre-readers as per your request. Your tags amused me greatly.

*Just finished watching both Applebloom spins, both Fluttershy videos, a better (IMO) Fluttershy Sparta, and Rainbow Dash going OHMYGOSH for 13 minutes*
I swear to you erikun, every spare thought I have will now be devoted to cursing you.
Now if only the ponies left me some spare thoughts...

The lesson for me today was "How the buggery do I think of a good wings joke that nopony else will think of?" I am content with my answer.
A challenge Playgrounders! I require the saddest, cutest pony picture that can be found on the interwebz. It must be of a single pony being really cute and sad. Anyone have any suggestions?

That reminds me. Have we seen any Pony/Teen Titan fics? Because we must have one. And Rainbow Dash could race Kid Flash! And Twilight could compare notes with Raven and note the similarity in their voices! Pinkie Pie and Starfire would have the best party ever! And Applejack would learn all about modern agricultural techniques with Cyborg!
This leaves Rarity and Robin. This would either be the best thing or the worst thing ever.
Somepony must write this.
I love this idea. I can't believe I didn't see this until now.
That's the only sad pony one I found. Are humanized pictures allowed, too?
Humanized aren't what I'm looking for. I'm making something. I'm just going to go with a sad Applebloom, found a good one for what I want. The downside is my head is now full of sad ponies. Fortunately this helps drive sad ponies away.
If (hypothetically speaking) you were to write a Kingdom Hearts ponyfic, and you (in theory) decided that each of the mane cast plus Celestia and Luna all would get keyblades, what would you call them?
I like the idea of calling Celestia's Guarding Star, and a possibility for Applejack's would be Best Policy, but those are the only ideas I had.
And remember, this is all just a thought exercise.

A friend of mine did one for the April Fools contest. It's really mired in the continuity made by a group of my friends, though, so original characters and the like abound.
Late submission for yesterday's PaD. (Also sent to the submission site, since it generates blogger code automatically or something? Saves time, right?)

I'm trying to figure out the best place to post this. I feel like the joke might actually get funnier if I feature it in today's batch. It'd definitely be less work for me, since I can't edit yesterday's post with Blogger being all dumb and only giving Sethisto full permissions.
Your thoughts?

YES
Would it be better to insert it as it is, or should I mock up a new title text with today's date/theme? (Trivial effort to do, in fact I'll do it right now and we can compare)
[EDIT]: Finite!

I can't seem to load the image for some reason. But I do think that altering the text to imply it's for today would be much better.
