Week 359 Wrap Up

Yes, yeees. Everything is going according to plan. I've been an admin for more than four years now, and have long since taken the reigns of the Blogger. With each step I take, I garner a bit more trust from the other admins, and gain a bit more authority within the group. Soon, so very soon, my plan will come to fruition and I will take over as head admin. With the group's full resources behind me, I can begin the process of taking over other dA groups, then the site itself, then more internet sites. Before I'm done, the entire internet will be mine, all mine! MUHAHAHAHA!

Wait, did I say that out loud? Again?

Ahem. At any rate, enough of that blast from the past. This week has been about authenticity and, well, blasts from the past. So get your authentic classic brooches, vintage pie tins, and antique chickens, and come join us at the Gallery for a celebration of all things authentic, old or otherwise! And don't worry about villainous plots. I'm totally not up to anything, and that is totally the authentic truth! Totally...

Week 358 Wrap Up

Hey, everypony! How about a nice game of Charades?

...

Yeah, you're right. Charades does not adapt well at all to this particular format. Charades, as a form of acting, is mainly a visual format. And while one could write down a description of what the actor is doing, the act would basically lose a lot in translation.

Of course, the same could be said about pictures. There's a fair bit of truth to the saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words", as it would take a great many words to accurately describe a single picture. So it's a very good thing that we can just post the pictures themselves here, so we don't have to try and describe each of them. Come to think of it, we could play a game of Charades if I draw out each action and post them here. But sadly, time's running far too short for such an endeavor. Perhaps another time. Instead, I shall go ahead and properly open up the Gallery for this evening, so we may see what sort of acts the artists have portrayed this week.

Rarity whispers: *Shhh*...to keep my passion alive I do what I must, darlin'. I realize that this is verily out of character for moi. But I find it quite the thrill at times.

Week 357 Wrap Up

Decisions, decisions, decisions. One must make so many choices over the course of even a single day. Go left or right, get cake or pie, work or play, see a play or a movie, apple juice or orange juice, juice or soda, shaken or stirred... well, I'd recommend not choosing 'shaken' if you chose the soda.

But yes, decisions, decisions, decisions. Sometimes, the choice is easy; sometimes, not so much. Bit it looks like the time has come to open the Gallery this evening, so we've run out of time to debate our choices. Well, assuming you're all going to choose to check out the Gallery, at least. This is, of course, the choice I would go with, but I may be biased.

Week 356 Wrap Up

It shall soon be time to open the Gallery, but first I have this announcement that I'm expected to read. Ahem.

"Coming soon to a village near you, it's Ponies Gone Wild! You thought Celestia's cake fantasies were crazy? Well, just wait until you see what we have in store for you now! We've got high-diving grannies, waterlogged hippogriffs, ex-cultist guidance councilors, ponies who love apples way too much, ponies who love strawberries way too much, ponies who love humans way..."
Geez, who wrote this crap!?

...

Oh. Well... that explains a lot. Ahem.

And the time has come to open the Gallery, so I fear that I won't have time to do my intended opening spiel. But we still have the actual artwork, which is the primary reason you all are here today, so it's not exactly a great loss. So go on in and have fun, everypony! And next week, we should have things back to normal...

In other words, no more adverts written by Discord.

Week 355 Wrap Up

So, time to do this writing thing again. Hmm. Do you think I could fake it and claim it's still Opposite Day? ... Yeah, me neither. It is Opposite 'Day', after all, not Opposite 'Week'.

But enough about that. Ponies have been faking it all week, taking on new personas to deal with unusual tasks or simply improvising their way through whatever challenge sits before them. After all, when dealing with a task one is not well-suited for, sometimes all you can really do is fake your way through it. Necessity is sometimes the mother of improvisation, it would seem.

But once again, the time has come to open up the Gallery; something I thankfully do not need to fake my way through. So let us see what has been created this week:

Week 354 Wrap Up

Okay, time to start writing this post.

"But it's Opposite Day."

Huh, so it is. Time to end this post, then. Gallery's open, everypony. Have fun!

Week 353 Wrap Up

Before we start tonight, I have something I need to tell you all: I'm afraid that this institution is not accredited by the Equestrian Education Association. Fortunately, this institution is not a school, and thus the lack of such accreditation is not actually an issue. On a more serious note, we are actually seeking accreditation from the Faraway Museum Collective, and if our conversations with Head Curator Blatherskite are anything to go by, this may very well happen!

But enough about that for now. We have a Gallery to open, and while these events may be related to this week's Teaching theme, you did not all come here to listen to me babble on about it. So lets cut to the chase, and officially open things up!
