Unlucky Parents Alternative Rough Draft

You asked for it, we delivered... not at express rate.  Just normal shipping.  Here was one of the alternative ideas in a very very very very very very VERY rough draft form.  As you can see, just the basics such as character placement and angle was shown.  Not even proper wording, or expressions were shown.  We barely showed character details, with them mainly being differentiated purely by their colour.

Unlucky Parents Episode Discussion

There is an alternative version to what was released, albeit in rough form.  So hear me out.  Originally we were going to have a character get sick and spew on the seats... but this just sounded so.... gross.  So having learned that drinking does make some more sneezy, we went with that, because it is far less gross... but still gross.  It also nicely fits Twilight's ongoing sneeziness.  If you want to see the rough version of the alternative, I will post it up for yo...

Family Lovey Episode Discussion

One of my favorite ongoing jokes.  Twilight messing things up for her brother, Shining Armor.  She doesn't even realize she does it!  Believe it or not, it has been two years since this last happened to Shining Armor.  Yep!  We haven't done a joke between these two in that long.  That is amazing!  Where does the time go? 

All in all, just having fun with these two.  It isn't often we give a background character like Rachel this much airtime. ...

What Do You Enjoy About Autumn?

If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, welcome to autumn!  Fall is here!  Shorter days, cooler days, leaves changing colors!  If you live in a desert... I'm sorry.  

Very simple discussion question today; What Do You Enjoy About Autumn?

See you in the comments!

New Old Friends Episode Discussion

So the arc continues.  The girls go out on their first friendship night!  But much to Twilight's surprise, Rachel has dressed up.  You may remember our earlier blog post trying to decide an outfit for her.  It had to be somewhat simple, cute, and not too tough to draw in many poses.

It seems like the girl's had a good time so far... This episode got a lot of positive kudos for seeing these two hang out together.  There is an underground fanbase for Rachel it see...

Dragon Fish Episode Discussion

Simple little comic here.  Just some Spike and Twilight shenanigans.  We also see Gray outside of work.  Not many people picked up on that this was Gray just chilling and hanging out on a boat.  

This episode sort of makes me think of early episodes of AT&F.  When Spike used to try and get a gaming console and the silly, simple interactions between him and Twilight before Starlight and Moondancer came along.  I really enjoyed this episode. 

A...

So This Is Us Episode Discussion

Unexpectedly, this episode did really good among the community and it made us do a mini-arc with these two.  It was spur of the moment.  Good to see Rachel again, it's been awhile.

One the comic world of things, since you have to create a lot of content in a short amount of time and have a schedule, the best thing in the world for us is when you can re-use a scene over and over. I admit, I hate doing that and it's lazy.  All comics do it, but the most notable would be Gar...

Duet For Greg and Twi?

Haha, this is so sappy, I love it.  So on their own time, we have some staff working on making a duet that fits perfectly for when Greg and Twilight originally broke up.  When it's complete it will supposedly be longer and have both male and female lines.

I can't pretend to know the whole story with this song (I have no idea how they are going about it), but I will post what is done of it here and you can download it too.  I also grabbed a funny version of it because it h...

Magic Touch Episode Discussion

I could have sworn we've used this title before but I have no way of knowing without looking through every single episode or checking our unfinished wiki list.  So if we eventually find out this name was used, I will change it.

There has been a growing community 'groupthink' that Moondancer is OP.  She is all powerful and superior, just running things from behind.  I must say, I find this very funny and I love reading what people say.  So this episode will definitely...

So Did You Watch It, What Did You Think? (Discussion)

(SPOILER FREE BELOW, BUT COMMENTS MAY NOT BE)

So MLP: A New Generation was released on a certain streaming service a few days ago and presented to the community and new fans a whole new storyline and characters.  It gave us a new world with ties to what we know well.  I want to say I simply enjoyed it way more than I ever thought I would. There were loose ends, but it was obvious how much the creators cared for this project and really tried to draw in new fans as well as creat...

It's Late, Random Work In Progress

It's late, so for those of you still up, have a random drawing about something... Not sure what's going on here yet.  I guess we will find out next week.

Following this, we will be going into Rainbow Dash's story. 

September 2021 Games List

September 2021 Games List

I want to first if all apologize for the lack of new games, but there is a good reason.  As you probably know, we use Humble Choice for our games we give away.  We buy a yearly subscription (that was originally gifted to us by an amazing Patron) and we get a handful of new games each month.  When there are good sales, we also have an allotment of our budget to buy new games to put on our list here for you.  We also sometimes...

Streamers Episode Discussion

She did it!  Vinyl beat the record!  These two goof around for a few panels, but when it becomes time to check on the live chat, things get a little... warm.  I will be honest, this 'joke' turned out better in our rough drafts, but thankfully people did catch on and enjoyed the tension between the streamers, Spike, and Vinyl.  So it did get through.  Sometimes it is difficult to translate a joke/story that sounds good in your head and rough drafts, to sound as good on...

Fresh Off The Press Tease!

It's late, and Tuesday's episode was just finished.  It was really late, but here it is fresh off the press... and very blurry.  I can't give it away!  Hmmm, I wonder what is happening here?

Rachel Dressed For Success

The community always lets us know when they like something and they have really liked this episode with Twilight and Rachel.  We will do an episode discussion on this episode soon!  But for now, have a page of some random concept sketches of Rachel I picked to share.  As you can see, there is a lot of randomness here, but the re...

Just Focus Episode Discussion

That Rainbow Dash/Applejack story is still happening.  It's been awhile since I mentioned it, but we did a complete re-write and it involved a lot of characters in scenes, so it is taking us more time to finish.  In the meantime, we do have some little one-offs and silly jokes.

This one was real popular with the community, which was a nice boost!  Vinyl doing what she enjoys and showing further progression of her online streaming community.  Spike also being a pro/sl...

Demands Episode Discussion

I think people were happy to see Twilight have a little back bone and stand up for herself.  Rarity's intentions may have been... fine... but it was a bit harsh to force Twilight with Greg.  So it was nice to have Twilight show some emotion other than sad, happy, and nervous. 

As well, Coco and Greg are out of Rarity's house and out of Ponyville now living away.  With Greg away and her emotions in check, this leaves Twilight to handle low anyway she wants now.  ...

Can't Take That Away Episode Discussion

Sometimes you just got to talk things through, and granted this happens quick, but this is a comic.  We don't have a 45 minute tv show (which would be fun).  We wanted to show the emotional side of things again and learning to get over things.  They both had this underlying need to talk things through.  We can't make it a wordy mess, but hopefully the silence and light conversing did the trick.

Again, this was tied with the previous episode as the least liked so far ...

Editing In Progress At The Wiki

For those of you who like to use out Adorkable Twilight & Friends Wiki, we thank you!  We've had roughly 400 viewers a week, which I think is pretty darn good.  Sadly, very few if anyone actually updates or adds content.  

So recently our staff has been going on trying to do a little at a time.  Mainly trying to ad all the episode names to the episode list.  From there, we...

Remember Back Episode Discussion

Happy to be back. Almost three days without internet while the "internet company" installed new lines to this area for improved.... whatever.  It was so nice they warned me of this outage the day before with a note on the ground in my driveway! Lol!  But here I am!  Back and ready to talk.

Now episodes like this aren't "fun" and "popular" with the AT&F viewers who just sort of plane and window shop the episodes.  Episodes like this are more for the long-time dedi...

Free Pones... Pick One.

Let's just have a little fun.  You see this box filled with baby pones.  It says you can only pick one.  Whom do you choose? 

If you pick more than one, someone comes out, kicks your knees, and takes your money... 

Moving Day Episode Discussion

Oh boy... here we go.  Viewers caught on really fast that Rarity had this planned, and not in a malicious way.  Throughout the series, you see Rarity and Twilight talking about relationships, so Rarity is quite privy to what is going on with Twilight.  Here we see her trying to help Twilight get some closure... but maybe it could have been done better?

Nonetheless, this is what happened and it leads into a four episode story arc of feels.  So get ready if you are eas...

Mating Episode Discussion

Twilight is smart. She loves educating others. She loves history, science, geography. She loves it all!  Sometimes we forget to show that.  One thing we never forget is how dense she can be when she is in the moment.

So let's talk about some silly things about this comic.  We quickly realized how few bird noises we knew, hence why they all are pretty much the same.  In one version of this comic we had a bird say "bow chicka wow wow" in panel four, but it sadly just c...

What if you got a Letter...?

So last year we tried personalized birthday messages to people who signed up.  Anyone who signed up and gave their birthday date would receive a personalized digital message and drawing.  But I have been thinking...

What if we sent REAL PHYSICAL MAIL? I just want some honest opinions, ideas, thoughts, etc.  This mail wouldn't be based on birthdays, but for anyone who would like to receive a real letter on some AT&F themed card.  Maybe a personal message from the ...

Facts Episode Discussion

I do not compute.  I do not understand.  404 error.  So on Tumblr on average we get about 120-130 notes per episode.  For some reason... this one got 285?  Why?  Why did people on Tumblr like this episode?  It wasn't that funny.

This just further shows how little I understand our readers sometimes.  This episode sets up for the further shenanigans that will happen with Applejack and Rainbow Dash. 

Hopefully you enjoyed seeing some more ...

Crunch In The Night Episode Discussion

There is a very loose real story to this... one that has has nothing really to do with this, but I will share it below. My birthday is also coming up August 27th. Ugh.  Let's get into the episode discussion!   

So you all know simplicity is sort of the style of this series. So when it becomes time for us to show darkness in the series, it can get a bit tricky.  I always just hope people don't think the darkness lines are rain or something.  We tried playing with...

Some Changes To Planned Episodes

In one of the last few posts, I mentioned we would be doing a Rainbow Dash story arc next... this is no longer the case.  It is still happening, but it is taking longer to draw than first thought.  So in it's place, we have a Twilight story arc we are going to do... and it involves Greg.  

I just wanted to explain this so people wouldn't be like, "OY!  What gives?  The bloke didn't follow through on their word eh?  Let's hit em' gov'nor!"  Yes... that ...

Love At The Table Episode Discussion

Happy August 17th everyone!  In ten days, one of our staff has a big special birthday!  They will mentally graduate to age 12 too!  How exciting... more on that later.  We got an episode to discuss.

This episode was actually made way back in May.  It just kept getting held back then eventually buried, sort of forgotten, then finally, we had the perfect spot for it to land.  It blends in seamlessly with the current plot.  

It was a nice episode be...

Thank You and Rambling

I don't know how to draw humans, lol.  I just really want to thank you all for supporting this series and being so great.  I can't tell you the joy it brings me to come here and share/converse/have fun with you all.  I really mean it.  So as a tiny thanks, I know some of you wanted some more Lily drawings in her volleyball outfit.  Somehow that translated to me drawing them as humans?  Lol!  I don't know.  Maybe someone will enjoy this.  Starlight'...

12:09am

I should be asleep.  If you are awake have this random doodle I was drawing.  I have no idea what it is.  I think it's some weird Roblox-Sonic related content or something. 

If you are still awake, have a nice night when you finally do hit the bed. :) Sleep well, dream well, and know tomorrow will be a grand day.  Hopefully. :)
