I like to imagine that Pinkie is aware of the Fourth Wall, but she swore an oath not to tell anypony else about it. She's part of a super-secret task force, safeguarding Equestria from metafictional threats.

Of course, I came up with this headcanon before "Magic Duel", and the ending of that would imply that Twilight also knows about the Fourth Wall. I guess that was an accident on Twi's part: she wanted to help Pinkie get her mouth back and teleported herself to Pinkie... and wound up behind the Iris Out because Pinkie was there. The credits started just before Pinkie said something along the lines of "Twilight, what are you doing back here?" or "Wow, Twilight, you can see the audience too? This is going to be so fun!"

I suppose it's a good thing Twi learned of the fourth wall then, because she would have learned anyway in "Magical Mystery Cure". Alicoronation was enough of a shock without also throwing the fourth wall reveal at her.

That's brilliant. And if you want to find out what happened there, the fic in question submitted to FIM Fiction (Called The Path of Absolution - Punishment. WARNING: The CMC made a suicide pact in that fic)

@Dark: Awesome. Hope you enjoy it.

Also, Kegisak is write, unless you're big on pre-writing, it's really hard to estimate how many chapters you'll end up with. I mean, I had originally planned for my story to be like a dozen chapters. I'm working on 19 now, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if I end up with around 30.

@Blissey: Yeah, it was actually kind of hilarious. When I was in college, it turned out that almost everybody in my dorm had watched The Powerpuff Girls growing up, but almost none of us realized that it was popular with other guys, so no one ever talked about it. Then we all realized "holy crap, everybody was watching it!". The internet wasn't as big then, so very few people connected with other fans.

I always feel like, somebody's waaatchin' meeeeeeee...

Seriously, Fluttershy? Out of all the things in that video, that's what you're concerned about?

I try not to indulge in the recent Xbox discussions, but I found this too funny to pass up.

Just smile and wave, and hope nobody smells it.

The best kind of breakfast.

Spike's life. Entirely empty.

So that's what Fluttershy is hiding in that cottage...

Yeah, I was aware of which story it was... which is why I don't have much desire to read it. No offense, that sort of thing just isn't my bag. As it were. Glad I could help, though.

I never realized that The Powerpuff Girls wasn't 'supposed' to appeal to boys. Same with Kim Possible. While the main characters are girls, they don't have the same girls only stigma that stuff like Barbie or My Little Pony had.

PPG had same target audience what Dexter had.

Basically everyone? XD

My dad and I used to watch PPG and Dexter all the time.

Those shows are all awesome.

Can I get some feedback too before I continue?

Very nice JT, the characterization is spot on.

It's quite interesting to read a fic grounded in emotional realism rather than fluffy romance.

I like it.

i'm back guys. did a little grocery shopping and an avatar change.

what'd i miss?

I gotta ask the same, I went missing for a little while due to stuff, but I'm back now.

Nothing really, no major topics have popped up.

Yep, it's been a slow day.

well, i'm gonna start working on the next part of my fic now.

Since some people just got in, here's Twilight again, and my final drawing for the night.

@apple:

so guys, do you think different fonts for when each character talks will get too distracting?

So, I'm up to video responses now? Excellent!

Yes

thought so. which is why i'm not doing it.

Afternoon folks.

@Apple: Wow, you've improved quite a bit.

Wow, that is impressive.

@Dark: That's basically exactly what I was going for, so thanks. I love character-based stuff, so I basically just started with the premise and just thought of where it would go from there. Hopefully you enjoy the rest of it.

Thanks guys.

Excellent work as always Applelight.

If we had to see the mane six as space ship crew members, who'd be what role?

(Hope this'll spur the topic.)
