Week 366 Wrap Up

Into everyone's life, a little rain must fall. It's quite the cliché, I know, but it's still true. But is it really a bad thing? Rain is important to farmers, as the water brought by storms keeps their crops alive and growing. And the gentle patter of rain outside can be quite soothing, especially in the evening when one is settling down for sleep. And as they say, "April showers bring May flowers." And yes, I know it's another terrible cliché (and that it's July), but my point still stands.

But enough of that. The time has come to open up this week's Gallery exhibit. This week's theme has, of course, been rain. So let us see how relaxing the weather may or may not have been for our art subjects this week.

Does the land not know how to stay attached? Or is it's energy just unmatched? - fetchbeer

If you have friends who can control the weather, you might want to keep them on a tether. - fetchbeer

This one actually has effort in it, even if it looks like trash

Some days you just need to stare into the rain, as anything else would be too much of a drain. - fetchbeer

Week 365 Wrap Up

Ponyville. My Ponyville. A city... err, town... of a thousand criminals.

... Yes, dear sidekick, I know the town's official census lists only a few hundred citizens. You don't actually think the badguys take the census, do you?

Now, where was I? Oh right, "a thousand criminals". But this ci-err, town has a guardian. A shadowy guardian who stalks evil like a phantom in the darkness. And that guardian is me. For when Destiny's mighty hand makes the bed of your... uhh, destiny, it is your obligation to lie in it! And you don't fight Destiny. And you don't eat oatmeal in the bed of your future, for that is just crazy! And... I don't know where I'm going with this metaphor.

But it will end with me pounding two-hooved justice into the hearts of evildoers everywhere! For I am the terror that flaps in the night! I am the oat that wedges between your teeth! I am... completely out of time, actually. See you all next week!

Week 364 Wrap Up

The time has come, at last. Tonight is the night that we will put our plans into motion, overthrow 'Queen' Chrysalis, and then try to take over the world! So Pinkie, are you pondering what I'm pondering?

... No, Pinkie. Having the ability to talk to fish would not be helpful in this situation. It's the Elements of Harmony that we need. Their power will enable us to depose the royalty, Chrysalis and the Equestrian Sisters alike, and install ourselves as the realm's Overlords! And all we have to do is find the Tree of Harmony. This plan is foolproof! So, are you pondering what I'm pondering?

... No, Pinkie. The Tree of Harmony is not going to realize we're fakes and dissolve us. Seriously, where do you even get these ideas? Now come along, everypony. We've still got some planning to do, if we're going to pull this off flawlessly.

Week 363 Wrap Up

This week's theme is all about one of the great royal houses of Canterlot history: The Tudors. The name 'Tudor' is an odd one, and one of unknown origin. Some believe it is based on an ancient Coltic name meaning 'ruler of the people', but full evidence of this is yet to be found. The Tudor Family came to power in the region of Bittain early in Princess Celestia's rule. Known for their conflicts with Prance, and even moreso their internal political intrigue, The Tudor family... wait, the theme is 'Tutor'? Err, oops.

Well, at least I kindof demonstrated the theme, even if I was mistaken about what it actually was.

Week 362 Wrap Up

The times, they are a-changin'! ...No, not 'changeling', 'changing'. Though changelings certainly do fit the theme this week. Everything changes over time. Sometimes that change is planned, and sometimes not. Sometimes change is cyclical, like the seasons of the year, but usually it is linear, such as a tadpole growing into a frog. But change always comes in some form or another, and one must be ready to handle it. So let's see how the resident artists have interpreted, and handled, the theme of Change this week:

Week 361 Wrap Up

Love hurts... Love scars...
Love wounds... and marks...
Any heart not tough or strong enough,
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain,
Love is like a cloud, it holds a lot of rain,
Love hurts... Ooh love hurts.

"Love is a many splendored thing," as they say... whoever exactly 'they' are; I think it was a band or something. But they are nonetheless correct, I'd say. Love is not always easy, but it is easily worth the effort.

Week 360 Wrap Up

Today's Blogger entry has been brought to you by the letter 'C'. 'C' is for 'cooperation' and 'competition'... and 'cookie', but that's a different thing. Cooperation and competition are two sides of the same coin. Each requires at least a couple of participants. One simply cannot cooperate with themself, after all. And while one technically can compete with themself, competing with others tends to be much more compelling. It's the plurality of contributors that makes both cooperation and competition so constructive. Ponies aiding or pushing each other, as appropriate, to greater levels of competency through these sorts of group efforts, resulting in much more capable ponies overall.

And I seem to be running out of 'C' words in my thesaurus, and thus I should bring this contrivance to an... okay, I know there's a 'C' word that means 'end'. What is it again? ... oh, right. 'Conclusion'. So yes, time to bring this contrivance to a conclusion.
