If one of the main cast of Post Crusade was chubby, who do you think it would be?

Asked by Anonymous

I could imagine Sweetie Belle having a bit of a pudge.

Does Scootaloo still babysit the Cake twins?

Asked by Anonymous

Yes, she does. But now she does a better job at it, unlike that first time. >_>

Will all those ponies have significant roles (big enough to match their backstories) in the story or do you just like worldbuilding?

Asked by Anonymous

It’s a bit of both.

Most of them have a rather significant role in the coming chapters. But really, I just like writing this kind of stuff.

Jesus, I’ve been writing a lot for Five Angry Horses.

Already have substantial info for Ruby Pinch, Tornado Bolt, Snips, Snails, the Cake Twins, Vinyl Scratch, Octavia, Lyra, Bon Bon, and a ton of other background characters (and background OCs because reasons.)

ponett:

see FiM is incredible when you think about it because the mane six are basically the saviors of ponykind and they’ve saved the world multiple times without breaking a sweat and whenever something terrible is threatening equestria they’re always the last line of defense

but they’re also just a bunch of dumb 20-somethings who have no idea what they’re doing half the time

I think I’m going through a favorite character shift in PC.

I’m still writing a ton of stuff to use in S2 and now Dinky is my favorite character to write for.

Well then.

Any particular reason? or just random intuition?

He mentioned that he’s blocking people posting unsourced FlutterDash in that tag. And I remembered that this pic on my art blog was originally sent to Boulder and I chose not to reblog it from there.

What does it look like when a blog you don’t immediately recognize reposts a pic that you’ve already seen, but without a source (because I am the artist and that’s my art blog)?
