Week 174 Wrap Up

What if we win?
What if we fall?
Does any choice we make,
matter at all?

Falling fast, falling hard, falling from a great height, falling from grace. The word can carry just as much gravity by itself as the gravity pulling you down, down, ever deeper into the abyss. For some, the darkness is inescapable, the gravity too strong. But for others, for many, a light can guide the way up.

Ahhh, and of course, the greatest fall of them all.  Falling... in love. Mmm. Falling deeply into the eyes of your soul mate, a journey you may wish would never end. It's uncontrollably, it's risky, you may get hurt... but the experience as you tumble end over end is as exhilirating as it is terrifying.

But perhaps in the end, one needs only to stand up and try again. A fall is nothing but an opportunity to learn. Stand tall on all four legs and try again! Every bruise, every bump is nothing more than a lesson of life. Take what you've learned, apply it! As in life, just as in art, every mistake is a step forward, you cannot learn to walk with first falling.

A dark artefact's power can be tempting to us all, and even the smartest of mares can fall. - Jezendar

Her flying dreams are truly grand, but I hope there's a cloud upon which she can land. - Jezendar

The dark force of music upon which she has drawn, will allow her to beat each Imperium pawn. - Jezendar

Do a theme? HA! Let's do it seven times! (I'm doing Inktober anyway so it's not as impressive as it seems.)

Picture cards for definitions make class much less of a bore, and thus reduce the chance of students starting to snore. - Jezendar

Fallen Angel

He's shown us what he truly is, through this dark deal of his. - Jezendar

Week 173 Wrap Up

I can't stand it. I just can't stand it! So says a young man whose life is often out of balance. And balance is something that everypony, and indeed everyone, needs in their lives. A balance between work and leisure, between friends and family, between dreams and responsibilities. Those who find balance tend to lead more rewarding lives than those who do not. Or at least, that's what the spiritual gurus like to say. Then again, maybe all they really need a balanced breakfast. That's pretty important too.

Of course, balance is even more important for some than it is for others. For example, one would truly need to find balance if one does ballet for a living... or tightrope walking. And one must also find balance between words and pictures, and for that reason, I shall now direct you to the well-balanced artwork below:

Twilight sighed as she struggled to maintain her balance on the wavering mountain of books. The book immediately beneath her, a book entitled Maintaining a Good Work Life Balance, by Sunny Skies had been on her reading list for sometime. The irony of it's utility in having prevented this situation in the first place, as well as the delicate coordination it was currently taking to keep her hooves on it, was not lost to her.

Books are no substitute for a good ladder, especially with a full bladder. - fetchbeer

Week 172 Wrap Up

There's a lot to see in the grand realm of Equestria. Majestic mountains, bustling cities, ancient forests, and a great many more wonders await the Equestrian wanderer. But eventually, the wanderer's mind turns to thoughts of the familiar surroundings of youth, and the family and friends left behind at the journey's start. All good things must come to an end, as they say, and thus the wanderer turns towards home.

Home is where the heart is, as they say. And the ponies pictured below understand that quite well.

Week 171 Wrap Up

The City... of Maretropolis.

A city in need of a savior! Criminals roam the streets, and the average joe pony can't even cross the street without being mugged. Super villains assault the populace unopposed, will their dastardly deeds go unstopped? Unpunished? Unwashed? Wait, no... strike that last one.

Ahh, but do not fear, mares and gentlecolts, rescue is at hand! To all who have suffered beneath the yoke of oppression, to all who cry out against injustice, your time has come. Yes, that's right everypony, the POWER PONIES are here to save the day!

The heroes are here to save the day! But perhaps, the day was already saved by somepony else? It can be the little things that save the day, and the ponies who serve everyday. Heroes come in all sizes. And sometimes, all it takes one act to save the day.

So, for those who have the will to find a way, let's look now to see who helped Save the Day before it got to the point where it drove anyone insane.  Without further ado, this weeks heroes:
