A Good Night Win Episode Discussion

This might be interesting.  Originally this episode was going to star Twilight.  We've shown her and her silly sleep patterns before.  But then we realized, Moondancer hasn't had much love lately and we threw her in this situation, and lo and behold, people loved it!  Very relatable around the world it seems! I hope everyone sleeps well out there!

Just Alright Episode Discussion

I love the idea of everyone minding their own business at home, and Starlight pulls up from he adventure.  They don't expect a whole lot, but are just happy to see her home safe.  She then pulls out a massive trophy and they have no idea how se got it!

Lot's to breakdown in this rather simple comic.  Pinenut chasing butterflies in panel one.  The sill character reactions in panel three.  Moondancer awaiting her gift that Starlight said she would get her.  T...

Sign Her Up Episode Discussion

Hmmm, I feel like I know a lot of the ponies in this Patreon-member heavy episode!!! Yes, yes, this was mainly to thank all of YOU.  I hope you enjoyed it AND enjoyed your personal character posters as well!

This episode we gave a little more reason to hate Patricia as we build on her character to give us a legit enemy someday in the series!  She's being mean to Starlight and her entry into the kite festival.  Granted, I think Starlight wavered maybe a bit too easily, but...

Closer Distances Episode Discussion

We had alternative ideas for this episode.  We were going to show Starlight checking in, while calling Gray, saying she wished he was there, only to open her motel room to find him there.  Another version in the "extended version" of this arc was that Gray was going to be one of the judges to counteract Patricia's negative vote.  We might still do that second one... and it will be done via a flashback.

You saw in an earlier post how we design new locations, and this was n...

Glimmer's Grand Weekend Episode Discussion

The start of a little adventure begins.  We showed teasers of this for you weeks in advance here on Patreon!!  Glimmer's heading to the coast! Go west young mare! While she leaves Sparkle and the others behind, she's going to be in for a weekend of kites, kites, and more kites!

This also marks the beginning of a fairly large dry-spell without much Adorkable Twilight action.  She won't be seen much for several weeks of episodes.  It was weird how it worked out, but we...

Trippin' Over Trips Episode Discussion

We had to come up with some new location names for this one.  Yes, not every place has to be a horse-themed pun, but we decided to have a little fun for such a below the belt joke.  I do enjoy seeing this group together though.  It's so much fun to see them all interact with one another.  Happy Friday!!!

Hope you all have a great week!  More stuff coming!

Notification Episode Discussion

Alli seems to have it out for Adorkable Twilight.  Modern day smart devices can be a benefit or boon, but one thing I dislike is how a shared device shares delivery info or personal shipping info to anyone in the room through notifications (you can turn it off, but they make it difficult).  

Adorkable Twi has long battled with her weight and eating right.  She for some reason thinks she is overweight.  When she appeased Spike with a white lie, she is quickly caught t...

Comparative Reasoning Episode Discussion

We've been sitting on this episode for months.  Never quite sure when to release it.  It was actually completed February 20, 2023.  Yeah.  This year we've been doing things differently and have been building up a catalog of episode's, usually with a six week buffer.  We aim for a seven week buffer, but that rarely happens.  This allows us to plan ahead and even take week's slower during the busy "full time career" part of the week.

Now for this episode, oh ...

Upcoming Episodes Teaser, Big Arc Ending

EDIT: Last minute, we decided to release three episodes this week!  This was decided at 1:30am Monday morning.  Ignore what is said below.

So here we go, a teaser of our upcoming episodes.  I had to shrink the image because in the past you could zoom in all the way and see way too much.

The four comic episodes that are at the bottom of the image are the next four upcoming episodes.  As you can see, it is lacking Twilight colors.  It is goi...

What Else Would You Include In Vinyl's Room?

What Else Would You Include In Vinyl's Room?  We're designing her room to make it official.  What would you include in there?  What kind of posters? What kind of stuff?  We also have a computer, microphone, a bunch of musical memorabilia, records, and CD's.

Anyone get the NeScience or Delton Chuck references?

How To Boil Water Episode Discussion

They say boiling noodles is the easiest thing in the world.  Adorkable Twiggles thinks she can do it... but then maybe like many of us, she over-complicates it in her mind, then short circuits with all the possibilities of the stove exploding, catching fire, and the world ending as we know it.  Okay, maybe that is a bit extreme.  Luckily Starlight is around to give a helping hoof.  Boiling noodles it tough.  Haha!

When this episode idea came to me, I was tickled...

Poker Episode Discussion

A ongoing gag has begun!  Based off this episode, we decided to bring back the losing ways of Starlight, at least when it comes to games.

The tension rises, Starlight knows she's losing, then she snaps! At least she doesn't flip over the table!

When Things Get Smoochy

I think it's going to happen soon.  We got a few couples in this series and I think things are going to get smoochy sometime between now and our Christmas episodes.  How smoochy do you want to see things?  We are family friendly usually... but do we get a little smoochier?  Do we show some saucy sauce?  What are your thoughts on the topic and how much sauce and smooch do you like?  Do you prefer our more hidden approach?  What about tastefully done?  Or...

Welcome to Sandpiper Shore: Creating a New Location!

You might not know it, but we do a lot of research when creating new locations for this series.  Most of it isn't seen in the comic.  So we have files of research, sketches, concept art, that never actually gets used.  In an upcoming episode, we visit Sandpiper Shore.  In the series will see festival locations, a beachside motel, and various characters, signs, and fauna.

The inspiration for Sandpiper Shore, located on the Rainy Coast, was to find the perfect Pacific ...

Just an Update

I still cannot get images to load on Patreon and I haven't heard back from support yet. So I guess this week I will be doing text updates with images via links.  Hope you all had a nice weekend and have a stellar week.  I will keep in touch.

Two Bits Of News, No New Episodes Next Week

I will jump right into it.  We have two bits of news.  The reason I have not been able to post the past few days is because Patreon is having technical difficulties and I cannot post images!  I have contacted their support and they said they will look into the issue.

The second bit of news is there will be no new episodes next week.  We are missing one episode that was supposed to fall into place after the current episode we released this past Thursday, but because s...

The Ladder Episode Discussion

This is shocking. This became the most viewed and share episode of 2023.  Hmmm. I wonder why?  *winks*

We said we wanted to show more of Starlight and Gray together, but I don't think I meant like this.  Still it is fun to see them hang out at work and do stuff together.  Of course Starlight made up this ruse to get him on the ladder, but she also treated him with little look-see as well.

Also learned how difficult it was to draw ponies on ladders.  Take i...

Saucy Pics Episode Discussion

Have you ever seen Twi stick out her lips?  Nor have we.

We rarely, and I mean rarely, do jokes like this.  I don't even know what kind of joke this would be called.  But it's also a rare take on modern technology which we shy away from.  The camera adds ten pounds they say...

Don't take this too seriously, it's meant to just be for a laugh.  Twi isn't overweight.  It's just goofy nonsense. 

Panel one shows a new view of Twi's bathroom. &nb...

Relaxing Workout Episode Discussion

Sometimes it's alright to give up.  At least Spike is very understanding about the whole ordeal.  Twilight's taking it pretty well. At least she didn't pull a hammy. 

We have determined that one of the rooms in the Adorkable abode is kind of a gym room... or recreation room... rec room.  This is our first time drawing it in some detail!  Hooray to the one person who cares! :D Lol!

A Moment Of Truth Episode Dicussion

Zephyr and Ellen is a combo we don't see too often.  They work at the same store as Starlight, and they technically would run into each other all the time.  So let's see what they are up too.  

We've hinted in the past that Ellen hasn't been good with her dating record (what a shock in this series, lol) and so we get a new perspective from Zephyr.  He's always turned down and his life is always taking a step forward and two backward.  As he gives this possibly g...

Bird Watching Episode Discussion

So we are putting Starlight's new hobby to work!  She's using her new camera and trying to snap pics.  This entire week's release was the first time in awhile Twilight didn't star in at least one episode.

The biggest way to insult Trixie is to say she is worse at something than Twilight.  She just so happened to bring up the one thing the Adorkable One excels at.

The bird in the first panel is a Goldfinch.  Thanks cute bird for being willing to be used in this ...
