Graphitescribble, there is really only one answer to the question I posed unto you: You go bigger.

Friends, Equestrians, countrymares,
I come to part with Luna, not to praise her.
The nightmares that ponies create live after them;
The visions are oft banished alongside them;
So let it be with Luna. The honored Celestia
Hath told you Luna was jealous:
If it were so, it was an eternal fault,
And eternally hath Luna answer'd it.
Here, under leave of Celestia and her court--
For Celestia is a wise mare;
So is her court, all wise ponies--
Come I to speak on Luna's departure.
She was my friend, noble and fair to me:
But Celestia says she was jealous;
And Celestia is a wise mare.
She hath brought many monsters low
That posed grave threat to Equestria:
Did this in Luna seem jealous?
When the dreamers have feared, Luna hath comforted:
Jealousy should be made of crueler stuff:
Yet Celestia says she was jealous;
And Celestia is a wise mare.
You all did see that in the Everfree I thrice offered her my race's sole fealty,
Which she did thrice refuse: was this jealousy?
Yet Celestia says she was jealous;
And, sure, she is a wise mare.
I speak not to dispute what Celestia spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do see.
You all did love her once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then, to wish her back?
O harmony! Thou art fled to brutish mules,
And ponies have lost their friendship. Bear with me;
My heart is on the moon there with Luna,
And I must pause til it fly back to me.


I think the speaker is the leader of the batponies, if you're wondering. Who better to eulogize Luna, right? I don't have the heart to tell him that "batpony" isn't even a race in my headcanon; they're just pegasi with special magic on them.

I have the weirdest feeling that I stole "O harmony! Thou art fled to brutish mules, and ponies have lost their friendship." from somebody. I've no clue who it might be, though, in the unlikely case that the feeling is correct.

Don't you just hate it when you're about to leave a comment, and you see that it's already the most recent comment on the page? Even if it is a year and a half old, it would be completely superfluous to repeat it with no break in between, so what are you to say instead?

The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus
Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Caesar answer'd it.
Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest--
For Brutus is an honourable man;
So are they all, all honourable men--
Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral.
He was my friend, faithful and just to me:
But Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
He hath brought many captives home to Rome Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept: Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
You all did see that on the Lupercal I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And, sure, he is an honourable man.
I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love him once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him? O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason. Bear with me;
My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,
And I must pause till it come back to me.

This is one great way to safe a lost battle. I was almost as afraid Shining Armour would end up getting a good laugh out of this crowd as he was.

Cadance's presence saves the day (or just the speech) and you just earned yourself another great heap of bonus point, making your comic even more awesome than it was to start with.


I still love your drawing style, by the way. I'm every bit as amazed by the fine lines and overall quality as I was on the first page - great job keeping the quality at this high level over so many pages!

The amount of detail put into the faces is phenomenal; it's got that kind of manga aesthetic, yet still somehow looks like it came straight from the show. Color me impressed, sir.

StargazeAndSundance [2012-06-15 07:32:43 +0000 UTC]

OH LAWD, that bottom left panel's look on his face. Slaps "SWAG!" in your face!
You're not very kind to Shining Armor, but hey, he gets a Princess, may he deal with it.

So yeah, I've been reading on and am amazed you can work a page every ... two days? But commenting all the time feels like imposing and stalking, so I'll point out only what strikes me hardest.

Is it hard to come up with names? I find it hard. But I liked the ones from the page before (Cloudburst, Sunstripe).

On a funny sidenot, we were planning to marry on monday. Money killed the issue. Well, not like we're torn apart. Blessed be the wife of today who manages to deal with her man's strange hobbies.
