So Uh... Update

Last week in my stupor I said I probably wouldn't have an episode come out this Tuesday.  I just wanted to update you all.  We will have a new episode come out this Tuesday.  I just couldn't break our perfect schedule for the year so close to our Christmas break.  Soooooo yeah!  New episode tomorrow!  It's admittedly simple, but it's something.  Thank you all for the kind words of support and care!  I am feeling much better, but not quite 100% yet. &nbs...

Better Things To Do Episode Discussion

Hello everyone, with out usual person down and out with the flu (or something) I figured I would update you all with the next episode deep-dive.... episode discussion?  That's what we call it?  "Episode Discussion?"  Well at least I have a good one to talk about!  It's cute, endearing, and was a fan favorite! 

Twilight's just trying to sleep and Spike is just trying to get work done.  Clearly they are at odds here.  I will say though, there is an unspo...

This Is Going To Sound Lame (Because It Is)

Occasionally I will say that I might not have an episode coming at it's regular timing, and 99% of the time, I end up making the episode anyway ON TIME.  But I just want to give you all a very very very early warning, I might not have a Tuesday episode next week.

Here's the lame reason with backstory.  I haven't had a cold or been sick since 2018... and well, something got me.  I am down and out and barely want to move or doing anything.  I've become a lazy slob and ...

Unused Content Dump

Here is a large assortment of unused pictures in various stages of development.  Some of finished, some are not.  But for various reasons, whatever they may be, we never used this content in an episode.  Sometimes we drew it slightly better, much better, or completely changed the layout of a panel and never used the things drawn for it.  I just thought this would be fun to show you some of the content that never saw the light of day.  

Hope you have a lovely wee...

Twidancer Moonlight Episode Discussion

It's a Moon, it's a Twi... no it is Moondancer!  I'm not sure if this actually fooled anyone initially, but maybe it did?  Lol!  I was always surprised Moondancer never had a second episode to follow up on how she is doing, and I am surprised how they never talked about her and Twilight's visual similarities.  This of course plays on that very fact.

The Gourd Life

Simple and to the point.  You need those sometimes.  Vinyl certainly knows how to make any pumpkin display appear more retro and gamer friendly.  

As a side note, the front door is Octavia's/Vinyl's place... I think it should go without saying that Octavia is the owner of the home, not Vinyl.  But Vinyl is her roommate.  We'll explore this more in the near future.

Do we have any legendary Pac-man players out there?

Pumpkin Smoothie Episode Discussion

With the start of this episode, we got into an autumn theme!  Pumpkins galore! 

So... you wanna know a secret?  Do you want to make the best pumpkin smoothie ever with next to no effort involved?  Okay, here's what you do.  

Get any store-bought pumpkin pie you like.  Most people tell me they get great results with the Costco pumpkin pie.  

Next, throw a slice of that pie into the blender.  

If you like your smoothie thicker, add...

Unused Content: TwiLaw

I found a rough doodle while looking back through old files and I saw this pose.  So I recently re-inked it so I could share it with you.  I think this is too good to not include in a future episode!  

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

Happy Turkey Day

Just want to wish everyone  in the USA a happy Thanksgiving!  And even for those outside the US, there is so much we have to be thankful for!  I am thankful for each and every one of you.  Thank you all for your kindness and friendships.  I hope you have a splendid day and bring smiles to others!  Take care everyone!  Games will probably be Friday or Saturday! 

The Big Library Episode Discussion

You know how I always say I never know what to expect from the community on whether they will love something or not?  Okay... This episode when I made it, I would have told you 120% that this was going to be a hit.  In my mind it hit all the marks of being drawn okay, nice details, rather simple plot, and a cute ending!  I thought for SURE this was going to be a big hit for the series in 2022.  

I couldn't have been more wrong! lol! It got a low rating on Derpibooru,...

Scheduled Scheduling Turkey Day

This year, to those living in the USA, our regular comic schedule lands on Thanksgiving Day (Thursday)!  Usually we try to take this day off, but we have an episode scheduled for that day to get into the spirit of being thankful and cheery!  

Anyone have any Thanksgiving traditions they wish to share?  Maybe you play football (or watch it) with family and friends, then eat two times your body weight in good food?  Maybe you are the chef who prepares the bird and make...

Stumble Episode Discussion

Yet another setback for Zephyr Breeze and his path to good.  He learns his accolades he received (Employee of the Month) was meaningless.  He is learning the hard way that being good doesn't necessarily come with reward . . . but he'll get it someday.  The world can be rough and Ellen certainly isn't helping.  

Anyone got some HARSH REAL WORLD experiences they care to share?  

Zephyr Policy Episode Discussion

You may remember that Zephyr was somehow voted the Employee of the Month at work.  Well we find out how that happened in this episode.  Sometimes the truth hurts.

So you may be wondering, why is Zephyr TRYING to get Starlight in trouble for dating a fellow co-worker?  If you haven't picked up on it, he is trying to be "good."  His understanding of good is following the rules to the extreme.  He is trying to better himself but maybe not doing it the best way. &nb...

Shared Excitement Episode Discussion

So a few things, Twilight is wearing clothes!  Also the interior of the house based on our blueprints from awhile back makes an appearance in panel one.  I think this is the first time we've shown the stairs in this series.

So what's going on here?  Twilight wants to go to the BIG library in the bigger town down the highway.  Her urge for some more books is real, and she tries to invite some friends.  Starlight is getting spruced up to see Gray (wow, makeup!), S...

One Of The Mares Episode Discussion

We clearly had no idea what to write this week, lol! Panel one mimics a popular meme image.  Otherwise the rest of this comic pulls from insecurities and vague urges.  I think everyone just needs a good bonk on the head after this.... and Twilight's eyes in panel 6... just staring off into space.  She's thinking of books.

So Moondancer continues to be hitting for all sides and Twilight is insecure about her small talk.  Starlight is missing affection, and Spike is tr...

Acorny Jokes Episode Discussion

Story time!  A long time ago I personally used to work in a dairy.  I knew every single dairy related pun you can imagine!  This is no yoke!  Working in a dairy wasn't all it was cracked up to be, but organizing the eggs was pretty eggscellent.  Not really eggxotic, or eggxtreme, but it was an eggsceptional time.  I'll just keep milking these jokes while I can before everything I type just scrambles in your mind.

This comic was sort of harkening back to all...

Unused Content: Starlight

I got a new little series for you awesome Adorkable Patron Pals!  It is called Unused Content!  Every once in awhile we have panels and art we make, that we never end up using!  So instead of letting these unused products fade away into obscurity, I will post them here!

To start us off, we have a Starlight Glimmer drawing done by one of our talented artists that was never used.  I actually don't know which episode this one belonged too, but in the future, now that I ...

Long Summer Episode Discussion

Sometimes a great idea just hits you!  You can just feel it's a good one and you know people are going to like it too!  This was that episode!  So far and few in-between to have such confidence knowing this will be a hit!  Well, it wasn't on Tumblr, and not so much on Derpibooru, but is exploded on Twitter! I was so happy!  It was fun designing Cheerilee's face.  I'm not sure what you would call this expression, but I harken it to when a Sponebob episode has a cl...

Bundle of Joy Episode Discussion

Happy Sunday! This one came about when I realized we haven't touched on Sunburst and Roseluck's story in quite sometime.  Last we saw them, Sunburst was trying to meet up with Starlight, but saw her with Gray and figured he had no chance to get her.  So after some time, we show Sunburst again and give his character more depth.

He is now seen in an office in the Crystal City, working for a city department known as the Community Investment Department.  He receives a letter ...

It's Cold, Ponies And Clothes?

Need your feedback.  It's cold outside, and ponies might put on some extra clothing...

What kind of clothing would you imagine Adorkable Twilight to wear on a farm?  Also non-farm and casual clothing?

Now how about the Mane 6?  What do you see the other Mane 6 characters wearing as casual clothes for autumn?  Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie? 

Use the coziest parts of your mind!  Look forward to your answers.  Thi...

Favorite Locations In MLP:FiM?

As we celebrate twelve years of MLP:FiM, I have been going through as much background scenery I can find for the show and I wanted to point out a few locations that visually are very pretty to me. Sometimes it can be a big unsettling seeing these backgrounds without any characters in them, because they are clearly meant to be shown with action in the forefront.

 I would love to hear/see some visually pretty locations you can think of, or just places you really like! 

Vis...

Big Night Episode Discussion

Thanks to all of you and your support, this episode we tested out  some stuff. Remember that house floor plan we were making?  Well this is finally us using that a bit more.  If you happen to have that master plan in front of you, this is takes place on the main floor, to the room right of the 'front door,' called "office."  This would be one of the first times we've shown Twilig...

October 2022 Games List

Octoberrrr 2022 Games List (Did it just get cold?)

Not many takers last month, so I added some new games by mistake!  I meant to NOT get this bundle, but accidentally did... so I got a lot of stuff I don't think anyone wants, lol.  Please take it.  I will even put them at the top so it's easy for you to find.  Also some other new stuff mixed in.  We're going on a horror game kick for October.

So this month...

Leaves Of Change Episode Discussion

Super simple.  Spike loves his cooler weather and he likes fall! That means we get closer to pumpkins and Lily saying "Pungkin!"  Starlight doesn't understand Spike's love of autumn, and neither does Twilight probably.  But at least she see's some cuteness in it. 

Hope you all have a wonderful Friday! Games coming up!

1000th Episode Achievement! You've Leveled Up!

So it turns out there isn't clipart celebrating 1000 for a comic series.  Who know?  So this will have to do!  On Tuesday the 18th of October, 2022, we unceremoniously hit our 1000th AT&F episode.  While we have actually produced much more than that in terms of ask posts, mini comics, choose-your-own adventures, for the mainl...

No Context...

No.  I'm not saying anything.

Twilight Come Home Episode Discussion

Fluffy Twilight in panel two?  Yes please!  I'll take ten!  Adorkable finally comes home from her journey with the red Book-Horse known as Lawrence. 

Little touches such as expressions are so fun.  You can tell how a character is feeling or reacting to something.  I urge you to just watch Spike and his mannerisms through this.  Also how he protectively holds Twilight in panel 3, adorable! 

Also thankfully, this is the last of the bathroom jo...

10-10-10

Twelve years ago on the 10th month, 10th day, and 10th year of the 2000s, we were treated with a show about technicolor ponies.  Now some of us started from the beginning while others started later, but in the end, we all became fans!  In 2014 AT&F was started and it's been nothing but fun since.  While MLP ended, AT&F continues and I just wanted to share my appreciation to all of you who continue to support us.

In a weird way, I think AT&F picked up where MLP...

Trix Episode Discussion

The Great and Powerful Trixie returns!  This episode uses info from our rough draft of the house-plane we had made as well.  Starlight has a little corner in the garage she uses as a workshop!  

There may be some foreshadowing in the first panel, but I won't go into details.

In panel six, Trixie makes a reference to an infamous line she has in the Equestria Girls series.  

Other than that, it's nice to see these two hanging out and being silly together ag...

Good Together Episode Discussion

Wow, this could have been a super awkward car ride back home.  It seems like all the weirdest things happen in car rides in this series now that I think of it.  You have this, Spike and Lily's bending over scene, a2022-10-06 21:45:39 +0000 UTC View Post
