Holey Socks Episode Discussion

And so we shocked the Adorkable-verse.  The planets have aligned and the long built up reunion has started! Adorkable Twilight meets her former colt-friend, Greg. It has been nearly four years since Twi and Greg have met (at least in real time).  So we wanted to make their meet up good.  We've built up to it.  If there was a long-going arc or peak for this series, this would be one of them.  Maybe for closure for Greg and Twilight, and maybe a life lesson about love f...

Glim Glam Redemption Episode Discussion

And here is the second part of Starlight and Johnny kite flying.  I don't think ANYONE expected this to happen... just like they won't expect the next episode. ;-)  Hopefully this episode did an alright job of giving some more character depth to Starlight.  We really want people to have many layers.  But we also added a bit of depth to the background character Johnny.  He is always mean to others, but this episode puts the reader in a position they don't expect to be ...

Episode Discussion Glimmer Justice

This episode sort of made longtime fans very happy.  Johnny (that brown colored littler twerp) has always been rude and inconsiderate in this series.  So finally he gets a taste of his own medicine.  Granted, what Starlight did isn't that nice either... but she isn't always nice.  

But here is the kicker.  This comic continues on Monday and I don't think anyone expected that... just like they won't expect what happens later in the week with the series either. &n...

Patron Pal Birthday Pass!

We try to make your contributions worth it by providing you three comics a week and free games every month (yes, games are coming still).  But I had this idea before falling asleep a few days ago before my birthday.  What about a personalized birthday card for our Patron Pals?  It would be digital, but include a specialized Adorkable themed doodle and a little message.  It can even be personalized by which character you would want on it, or you can leave that to us!

Take A Seat Episode Discussion

I apologize for being quieter the past week here.  Work has been super busy!  Lots of corporate walks, visits, etc.  Oh!  OH!  Today is also birthday day!  Hope you are all very well and doing super.

Earlier in the series we had Moondancer riding a robotic vacuum and we thought it was kind of cute.  So we upped it a bit with Pinenut as well!  It is a more visual humor comic than anything.  It shouldn't damage Twi's esteem too much.  They...

Early Comic - Full Flight Discussion

Releasing Monday is the episode, "Full Flight."  It's a pretty simple comic, as most will be this coming week.  No earth shattering story development, though Friday will certainly make long time fans very pleased with what happens. ;-) Hint, hint.  This episode was actually an idea written down in 2018, and it fit perfectly with the recent release of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.  That game looks fantastic.  Too powerful though for my hardware.

Your Own Personal Canons

Moondancer can sing...really good? Hmmm. 

This is just sort of a random question for you all, but what are your personal canons in the world of Pony or even in the world of Adorkable Twilight?  Would love to see what you make up in your head!

The second question is, are you easily swayed towards other people's canons?

Lastly, can you accept multiple canons?

What Would You Name Him?

So the name we are all using for him is "Gray."  I am not sure why but it is now Gray... thought we haven't officially said or have shown his name yet.  Another name we used was "Kurt."

But I want to ask you, what should we name him?  Do you like Gray or Kurt, or do you have a good name idea for him?

Taking Next Week Off - Our Plans

Next week we will take our first week off of 2020.  That means NO NEW comics for the week.  So instead we will be uploading 'rerun' episodes  twice each day instead of our usual Mon, Wed, Fri schedule.  That means Monday through Friday, we will 'rerun' an episode from earlier in the year.

But just because we are taking a break, doesn't mean we are actually taking a break.  Oh no.  Far from it.  I will still be updating you, our Patron's with random upd...

Bright Spot Episode Discussion

And here is the final version of the rough version you saw earlier in the week.  This is what it became.  Very, very different.  I didn't think this comic would be successful... yet it somehow connected with a lot of people and was the most successful comic of the week in terms of views.  Lol.

Next week we may be taking our first week off of the year.  I've said this many times this year, but never actually have taken a week off.  I will keep you posted. View Post

Rough Draft For Upcoming Episode

Keep this in your pocket and save it to compare to this coming episode on Friday.  There will certainly be changes.  The red character is a work in progress whom you will see revealed on Friday as well!  Hope you have a super Thursday!

Eat Your Cake Too Episode Discussion

And here we have it, Trevor brings over his surprise for Twilight.  We didn't really have any other versions of this.  I mean, we did, but they were mainly just wording changes.  Nonetheless, one cannot deny a gift of love like this.  There was also a written idea that would have included Pinkie Pie with Trevor, or Trevor saying his Mom was waiting for him in the car.  But none of the versions had Twilight denying the cupcake.  How could she?

I hope you are...

Early Comic - Social Toot Episode Discussion

And here we have an early comic for YOU, our lovely Patrons!  It's a little dissection of the world of social media.  This will lead up to more things in the future, and it's going to be fun.  It was to help introduce this social media source so it wouldn't just appear when we need it in a future episode.

Little Gift Giver Episode Discussion

Hi everyone!  So I laid out in a previous post we wanted to show more of Pinkie Pie and well, this was the start of that!  We are going to better build up the 'intimate' world that is right around our main characters.  So we will see their homes, places of work, etc.  It should be fun.  Also expect more Pinkie and the other Mane 6 in the coming months!  Trevor makes his first appearance of the year (I think) and is as adorable as ever!  Mrs. Cake makes her s...

Why So Inconsistent With Cutie Marks?

We have been asked in the past why we are so inconsistent on drawing cutie marks.  Sometimes we show them, sometimes we don't.  Why is that?

First lets share something with you.  None of us call them 'cutie marks.'  There is a deep seeded dislike to the term 'cutie mark' among us.  So we call the 'CM's.'  So sometimes we draw a CM and sometimes not.  Why?

Well, it depends who is drawing.  But it also has to do with our continued fighting bac...

Early Comic - Sprouting More - Episode Discussion

This was originally Monday's episode, but the original version was scrapped and redone.  It isn't funny, but more or less builds up the characters.  From this we see Lily and Spike's current state in their relationship.  We also learn about Lily and what her job actually is.  Does working at a nursery fit her?  The thought process was she would work at the nursery that helps provide plants to Roseluck's flower shop.  If this job is too hooves-on, we can also morp...

Heads Up - Episode Discussion

This episode might go down in history as one of the fastest to be made, despite having a lot of detail... at least in our modern era.  Our original comic we were going to release on Monday failed some final inspections and we had to completely re-write and redo it.  It wasn't going to get done in time for Monday.  We couldn't just grab our Friday episode and throw it in Monday's slot because we didn't have Friday's episode yet either.  

So with a deadline quickly app...

Personalized Regimen Episode Discussion

On Friday this episode released to sort of tie in all the episodes involving Twilight meeting with her friends and getting fitness advice.  But don't worry, her friends will appear more, especially a certain PINK pony.

What We're Working On... Future Stories

So every once in awhile we make a post with some of the ideas we want to work on, and this post is said post!

* Developing Lily Valley.  Right now most people only know her as being Spike's marefriend.  Does she have any other development beyond that?  Yeah, but it's surprisingly light and we were shocked when we started going over it.  We want her to have her own identity and backstory, which we are heavily working on now.  What's her job, who is her family? &n...

Chef Rarity - Episode Discussion

And now all the Mane 6 have helped.  Do you think some pony provided better advice for Twilight than another?  What is this exercising that Rarity gets in the bed....uhhh... don't answer that.

Pinkie Power Episode Discussion

Pinkie Pie does have a super power.  It's called metabolism.  Twilight has now seen most of her friend's.  All that is left is Rarity.  What will Rarity's advice be? Hmmm.

Believe it or not, this is Mrs. Cake's first appearance in the Adorkable Twilight & Friend's series.  I am shocked!  It is also one of the few times we show Sugar Cube Corner!  Weird!

Running Reward Episode Discussion

We had an alternative written version (but not drawn) of idea for this episode.  Essentially Twilight just wasn't going to show up and the last panel would have had her at home, lazing on the couch eating a donut or something.  This version shows some determination on Twilight's part, which is a good thing.

It is truly up to you to decide if Rainbow Dash was being a turd, or trying to be good.
