Normally I cut my hair around this length. But Babscon is in two weeks and papi needs his mane intact.

Oh boy, Scoob, like, we haven't used this one in a little bit! Welcome to these fine horse forums. Mind your step and keep an eye out for falling frogs.

I love this. Love the expression. Zipp seems to be very inexpressive most of the time, at least in the context of full blown happiness or giddiness, but I think this would be one of the instances where she can't help herself.

Hello once again MLP Forums. NavelColt here with another major fanfiction milestone. April marks my 10th year anniversary as an MLP fan, with June being my first published MLP story. It was a story called My Sister, Loyalty, and it explored the idea of Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo becoming surrogate sisters before it became canon on Sleepless in Ponyville. I decided to write another story about sisters for my anniversary, except this time for Gen 5. (Click me~) With Zipp and Pipp's relationship currently strained, the sky is the limit on how the comics, shows, and any future films may decide to bring them closer. Let's play ahead of the curve once again. Art badge by Luximus17, and should you see me at Babscon you'll see it in person.

Oh, you will get cards. And your rage shall feed the laughs of a thousand ponies. Hello, forumites! Once upon a time, I started a Playstation Uno club with @Dark Horse and @Jeric. We had two or three nights where we played synced Uno and talked over Discord. It has been some time since any of us have gotten around to this, so I thought we should provide a topic for PS Uno, in case anyone else would like to join the circuit. Mayhaps we can start organizing more game nights. If you own a late-gen Playstation console, own UNO on one of those consoles (or are now considering it), and are interested in playing with other forum members, share your Playstation gamertags here. You can also share your Discord tags, if you'd like to also join voice chat during games. Once we have an active list going, I'll start adding that info to the bottom of this initial post. My PS tag is Six-TailedNaruto, back from my teenager days of being an anime nerd. My Discord is N.Colt#2632. Please do not add me willy nilly, however, as I tend to regularly sift through contacts I don't regularly talk to. I'd be happy to add people prior to a given game night, instead. How about you?

A long, long time ago I used to be an admin on here, but it's been so long that I doubt there's almost anyone left who remembers that era. Let me know when you do!

‘If my kind learned to create love for one another, maybe they wouldn’t have to take it from others.’ ~ Thorax, The Times They Are a Changeling Hello, MLP Forums. For those who don't know me, I was once an active forumite who found friendship and comraderie through this site in its early years. I attended my first fan convention because of this site and fandom, and even now, years after leaving the MLPF staff and existing as a ghost, I retain so many of the friends and acquaintances I made because of this fandom. After leaving, I began to focus my energy on writing. You see, a character was introduced who quickly rose to become my favorite character on the entire show. It was Thorax, and his role in the show evolved into something that spoke to me, inspired me past the context of an animated show I enjoy. I had a story to tell about Thorax, about the changelings, and the relationships they could now forge in a hive free of tyranny and selfishness. That was five years ago. Today, I've finished what I set out to write so long ago, and immortalized it in physical print. KoLB follows Thorax in his new role as the changeling leader, and more importantly, explores the role of 'caring patriarch' that he naturally begins to take on, both towards nymphs and adult changelings of the hive. His gentle, guiding hoof is just what the changelings need as they deal with the emotional immaturity born from feeling emotions rather than stealing them, for the very first time. It also follows Thorax's efforts to introduce the concept of peaceful changelings to Equestria, assisted largely by Twilight and the other princesses. I wanted to share this with all of you, not just because it's a cool FiM-related accomplishment, but because it is the greatest creative accomplishment of my adult life thus far. This fandom inspired my first book, in the same way that it inspired my first fan convention, and so many friendships I otherwise wouldn't have made. The King of Love Bugs can be found digitally on my FIMFic, and, if you so desire, can be purchased in print from my Lulu page. As a share-only link, please PM me for further information on the book. Anywho, that's my rant. This book, now technically fan merchandise, is full of feels and humor, and I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys the changelings, or heartfelt storytelling. What a fandom this is, and what a journey this has been. I'm optimistic for what future generations may bring. Thank you for reading, everyone.
