What made you want to focus on the foals with your blog?

Asked by dreamofhircine

It was (what I considered) a lack a really good theories on their future. I always asked myself, what would happen if they got their marks? I seen some theories and I was never really satisfied. I kept wanting to know more. Would it affect their friendship? Would it have any other negative consequences? It was really unexplored, and I wanted to do something about it.

I was borderline obsessed. (And I still am.) I wrote down an idea, revised it, and it later became the PC story.

In a fandom like this, people come up with theories all the time! I’m just one of them. I just wanted to make my ideas public. And I did it in the form of Post Crusade. And apparently, people really do like it.

And finally, child characters are really easy to exploit in these time-skip blogs. They are still growing up, so anything can change.

The damage I took from revealing that I’m a clopper: lost a follower on the mod blog.

You guys are way more tolerating than everyone else says you are. Maybe I’m just lucky. Or maybe you guys are awesome bros.

Still, thanks for not raging!

Do you plan on doing anything non-MLP related soon?

Asked by geesurewishicouldchangemydefualt

Not really.

Ponies is literally the only reason I started drawing. I don’t consider myself a true artist, since drawing is a simple hobby of mine. But this doesn’t mean I won’t consider learning on how to draw something different. Who knows? I might do something non-MLP in the future. But for now, I’ll stick to what I think is the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

Earlier you listed Spike as one of the main characters of the blog, due to his former relationship with Sweetie and AB. Is he still going to show up at some point?

Asked by Anonymous

Yes he will.

He has a significant role in the story and will appear soon. Remind me to ge started on drawing the puppet.

I gotta ask, are you going to do a storyline about sexual maturity in Post Crusade? It doesn't need to have explicit sex in it or anything, but it's something everyone dealt with while growing up, often times not well. I think it'd honestly be one of the funniest things to see the CMC deal with on the sometimes psychotic road of life.

Asked by Anonymous

Yes. I have something like this planned.

A big thing I was going to reveal was that Rumble and Apple Bloom are at their “peak,” and have trouble controlling it. Especially AB.

And depending how the current hospital series ends, that might prove to be a really big problem.

What's the reason for having such a system formally in place? RA must be relatively common, enough so for there to be bars catering specifically to such a population.
Do Sweetie and Rumble have RA status because they primarily live with their respective sibling? Is this a older-younger sibling relationship common in Equestrian society? Why does Ruby have RA status when she (presumably) still lives with her mother?
Do you like questions, because I sure do.

Asked by barontristan

RA is a pretty common. Anyone over 13 is eligible, as long as their parents agree to it, and they usually do. It’s considered as a great way to train foals into living in a dog-eat-pony world. There is usually a 13+ bar for every 80 RA holders in a town.

If a child lives primarily with a sibling, then they can apply for an ID with the consent of the sibling.  Sweetie has her’s for the business benefits. Rumble has his for the disability benefits.

Living with a sibling is fairly common in Equestria. Enough of it is around to be recognized as a form of guardianship.

RA does not emancipate you. You still must be living with a guardian figure.

Questions like these make me happy.

If you had to do one of the CMC, which one would you pick?

Asked by Anonymous

Apple Bloom.

Poor girl doesn’t get much love.

(So much CMC sex questions. O_O)

Sorry I'm new to the whole tumblr thing but what is TMI Tuesday? I can guess that it is something to do with NSFW but that about all I got.

Asked by ferrumanulum

Well this is how it works.

You can ask me really personal questions, NSFW or not, and I’ll answer honestly and publicly.

It’s an interesting way to learn way too much information about me. >_>

The most shaming filly pic that gets you horny?

Asked by Anonymous

Technically, it’s not a pic. It’s a flash. Specifically, SWFpony’s CMC threesome flash.

Generally, all CMC threesome pics turn me on.

How often per day do your jerk off to the CMC?

Asked by Anonymous

Not as often as you think.

I’m not an avid clopper and really just do it every two days or so. I have a mess of clop pics in a folder, and fillies is just a part of the bunch.

About how much time per day/week do you spend running your blogs and drawing things for them?

Asked by jingerjargon

I spend an average of 6 hours a day working on PC and Diaries

Most of the time, I’m brainstorming for new ideas and jotting them down. It really has taken up a lot of my time over the summer, which is why I’m slowing down so I can focus on school.

What does the 'hpms' on Dinky's sweater in your latest update stand for?

Asked by kawmapkarma

More world building time!

As far as I know, Ponyville only has that one schoolhouse for elementary students. Since these guys are 12-13 years old, they’ll be heading to middle school. So I decided to make one up out of the blue.

In this case, the school is shared by Ponyville and neighboring Hoofington (assumed). It’s aptly named Hoofington-Ponyville Middle School (HPMS).

>mfw I need to draw the outside, the hallways, the cafeteria, the classrooms, and all those students.
