Ultimate Goal Failure Episode Discussion

How many times have we all done this?  We need to go get some milk... or we need to run upstairs to get something... and then we come back empty handed.  We forgot the initial reason we went to get something and come back with other things or nothing at all!  Is it a sign of getting older?  I'm not so certain.  I think it's just our minds jumbled with so many things.

In a rare change of scenery, Twilight chooses to go to the OTHER grocery store in Ponyville, Cas...

Remember My Shows Episode Discussion

Let's hop on that nostalgia train! This episode was hugely popular upon release. Just Twilight and Moondancer vibing together and enjoying good memories. Not a whole lot to point out here other than the shows in the background.  "Drew" was based on "Doug."  "Hey Armondo" was "Hey Arnold."  The next one isn't obscured and was based on nothing.  The last was "Fred, Fredd, and Freddy," a parody of "Ed, Edd, and Eddy." 

What are some of your favorite shows from grow...

Ferny Frond Episode Discussion

The Adorkable one isn't great with her plants, but luckily she has some friends to look out for her.  Instead of crushing her spirit by seeing her plants wilt and die, they replace them before she ever notices (is it worse to lie to her though, the guilt looks to be eating up Spike!) It has been awhile since we've seen Starlight and Roseluck together... is that Sunburst hiding in the employee room in panel three?  Hmmm. 

How are your gardening skills?  Are you gifted...

Games List Will Be Late But...

No one could work the Feburary Games List last weekend, which was our regularly scheduled time.  So I am leaving this up to you all now.  Do you want us to release mid week, as in tomorrow or wait till this weekend?  If we do it tomorrow, realize we will be working our full time jobs and not be able to respond until we get home in the evenings, meaning longer wait times for you.  But if you are fine with that, we can do that.  Otherwise we'd just do it on the weekend ...

Business Shift Episode Discussion

Games coming out this weekend! Stay tuned!! Now back to our regularly scheduled Episode Discussion. 

Who hasn't made a lemonade stands when they were a kid?  The tradition continue with our favorite little fillies.  This year our goal is to include way more CMC, and we already have a few episodes made for them.  

It is freezing cold, and it appears Apple Bloom had the idea to make a hot chocolate stand.  That seems like a good idea until it is so cold, it ...

Unseen Sweetness Episode Discusson

I believe we posted this as a Patron Pal exclusive a long time ago, but we finally found a place to release it in our schedule.  Adorkable Twilight just wants to look good like us all, right?  She has these snazzy golden yellow socks and hopes it will attract some attention, but to her dismay it does not.  Thankfully when she gets home, Lawrence, whom is playing cards with Spike, notices her fancy new threads.  This makes everything great!  Twi quickly downplays the v...

Background Eye Candy

Working on some background eye candy.  Notice anything?  lol! 

The Drive Episode Discussion

As the first adventure of 2024 comes to a close, we slow down with Spike and Adorkable Twilight driving home. Their car filled with goods.  Consumerism at it's finest! Spike has a kayak now and we're making good use of Twilight getting that minivan (See I told you it would be important).  It's going to be used a lot and make so many more things possible for the series, more then what we could do with a train.  This allows them the freedom to stop in locations and do things that...

Paradise Episode Discussion

There is no truer a paradise for a book horse like Adorkable Twilight.  I mean sure, having friends and family is awesome, but if it had to just be her, this is perfect.  She has food and all the books she could ever read!

The hijinks continue as these two carry on with their errands.  This is the second appearance of the Fort Vanhoover library in AT&F.  If she thinks this palace of books is big, wait till she visits a REAL BIG CITY!

We got continuing puns ...

What Is Rarity Up To?

It's so late, certainly no one will be up to see this, right?  Hmmm.  I wonder what Rarity is up to?  It's something coming on the horizon... Ideas?

Costlo Episode Discussion

Our pair arrive to their first destination! Costlo!  The best membership discount warehouse store in all of Equestria! Home to mega packs of toilet paper, unlimited samples, and mass amounts of everything imaginable at prices no one can beat!  It is sensory overload for these small-town sillies as they enter the store.

In the first panel, staying true to what we do, the Costlo design is based off a real Costlo in Vancouver, Washington thanks to street view.  Yes, Spike bo...

Blurry Teaser

We got a lot of upcoming episodes prepped and ready to go.  Someone messaged me saying they loved it when I posted these blurred photographs of our upcoming episodes as teasers, so for that person (and possibly others) here you go! Enjoy trying to guess what they are about and who is in them!

Hidden Agenda Episode Discussion

Looks like we are going to have some Spike and Twi time!! A cozy little slice of life bit of time with them.  As you've noticed by now, we've been cementing the world around these character's, trying to make it more solid and less ambiguous.  Ponyville is a decent sized town, but it doesn't have all the BIG stores bigger towns and cities would have. So to bulk up on supplies they need to head to Fort Vanhoover (to the west) to get those supplies.  We get some nice angles of the...

Foalsitters Episode Discussion

It's never good to tell little white lies but we all know elders did it to us when we were young. It seems Twilight and Lyra in their foalsitting duties have done the same thing.  It just unfortunately doesn't make Twilight feel too good about things.

Parental Differences Episode Discussion

2024 began with a reveal!  Never have we shown Trevor with his Mom and sister he often brings up, but we've shown them before, just not with him.  So many never actually knew they were his family! Well now it's official.  His Mom is Nicole (we just came up with the name though), his sister is Kimberly,  and his Dad is Brent (first time appearance).  Believe it or not, the M...

Warmth Of Family Episode Discussion (End of 2023)

2023 was a very busy year and how better to end the season of AT&F with this simple closing episode.  A sleeping Twilight, a loving Spike, tucking this tired pone into bed.  The year ends with a kiss, love, and peace.  I hope this wasn't lost on the reader, but I have made it known before. I love simple comics with few to no words (we do the opposite so much though, lol).  I hope you enjoyed our 2023 season of AT&F.  

Looking back, so much happened. &nbs...

Fog Episode Discussion

I felt we needed one more Lawrence and Twilight comic for 2023 so we made this.  An option we decided against was in panel four.  We were going to have the clouds clear to reveal a beautiful view, but decided against it.  That view would have taken away from the message of the little episode and I think it holds stronger keeping the fog in.  The focus is them, not the view.

Have a lovely Friday. 

Togetherness Episode Discussion

To cap the Christmas season we had a Hearth's Warming episode showing some of our favorite character's being together with family and friend's on that special day.  But we ended with something that long-time fans would certainly be curious about.... But we'll get to that.

The first panel has our happy main cast together with their loved ones.  We have the brother and sister duo of Fluttershy and Zephyr.  The Apple's are all together having fun putting up the Christmas lig...

Sketchy Sunday 3

Hey, we're doing another Sketchy Sunday post! Okay, okay, so this isn't really a sketch, but it is a workin progress piece.  I wonder what the context is to this?  I mean I know, but you don't! Expect some Mane 6 in the near future and so much more. I want to tease so much, I truly do. 

Any thoughts on this scene? What do you think is happening? 

Stubborn Starbright

It is impressive the amount of determination Starlight has... or maybe it is being stubborn? Certainly when she began putting up decorations and lights, it wasn't raining.  This episode is an ongoing joke where Starlight can never get the Christmas/Hearth's Warming lights to light up.  Only this time the stakes are raised! 

Light Show Episode Discussion

This episode brings on the Hearth's Warming vibes as everyone in the Adorkable household preps for the big day! Twilight is no exception as she wraps her new van in decorations and lights.  Thankfully everyone is in the seasonal cheer, even the town police! Officer Connor and Officer Star Dusk are all smiles as well.  In panel 3 we get another view of Twilight's home, this time from the drive way.

This episode was very popular among viewers! 

Out Of The Loop Pony Episode Discussion

When the Grand Theft Auto VI trailer dropped a day early, it took the world by storm!  So we made an episode about it. The Grand Theft Larceny series has appeared before in AT&F, so this fit in nicely to the continuity of it all. 

Unlike Twilight who is out of the loop, I am super excited about the new game and will have to think about how to upgrade my PC to play it someday.  Lol!  As are millions.

Now some quick little finds.  Panel one, Moondancer i...

Ponyville Fire Episode Discussion

This episode took us a lot of time to make as it has so many major world building elements to it.  This is the first official outside view of Twilight's massive home.  It's not a castle, but it is large for!  So the house will look like this going forward and you will now see detailed angles of it from the outside more frequently.  We also did some world building for Ponyville, showing Twilight's home is up a hill, which fits in to a map we've been working on.  We can...

Coffee Joint Episode Discussion

I'm thankfully not a coffee drinker, so I don't rely on those coffee joints so many people stand in lines for!  

Really wanted an excuse to show the character Cinnamon Chai again, so here is her second appearance.  I am sure this is a very common situation for people buying their coffee.  In the background of panel four we see Hay Burger! Also a good amount of background characters in this episode.

Think about it, if we are being generous and just say a single drink...

Sketchy Sunday 2!

Continuing our Sunday Sketch!  2nd week in a row... well... this isn't so much a sketch I guess.  Want to read a life story below?  Stop now if you don't!  It's a true story!

(Guest writer - Girl drama below warning!)

After a long week of working 10 hours days every day, I had no time to do anything beyond work and I really didn't like it.  I was so looking forward to the weekend.  I started Saturday by going to run some errands, grab some groceries a...

School Report Episode Discussion

This kind of joke is what we call "low hanging fruit" or a "red meat" joke.  It means it's going to be popular towards the audience you are making it for.  In this case, internet folk!  They all know the kind of weird stuff that happens involving tentacles.  Needless to say, this episode was VERY popular.  

It also showed us that Twilight does plenty of kind gesture's such as helping Apple Bloom with her report and checking for errors.  What a nice thing to...

Yappy Episode Discussion

Adorkable Twilight and Lily spending some time together is a nice thing to see.  Unfortunately Lily opens up a little too much that makes Twilight become self conscious.  Unfortunately for Spike, his evening was probably not too good.  Listen to Moondancer, Spike! Run for it!

Chez Sparkle Episode Discussion

Every pony knows that Twilight cannot cook.  So how did her feast turn out so well?  Apparently she had a secret weapon!! Lily Valley!  Lily is such a blessing!  And this episode came out on the day American's celebrate blessings, Thanksgiving.  This was our Thanksgiving themed episode for the year which both American's and Canadian's can enjoy (Canada pretty much has a Thanksgiving Day too eh).  

We get a rare moment of Flurry Heart and even her talking! &...

Sunday Sketch

I thought I would give you all a fun teaser.  Twilight and Spike are going to have some quality time together to just be themselves, and it's been real refreshing to work on.  So here, have an early sketch.  Maybe I should make "Sunday Sketch" a reoccurring thing?

Need To Give This Away NOW!

Need to give away the games Doom Eternal and Fallout 76 for right now!  The keys need to be used by January 10th or they are gone for good.  Who wants it?  First come, first serve! Post below.

BOTH HAVE BEEN CLAIMED NOW.
