Description Looks like you've got your work cut out for you, Cheerilee.

I was studying George Bernard Shaw (a writer and playwright) for an English class when the reading stated one of Shaw's characters had declared "I want to be an action verb." Pretty sure Shaw meant it in a metaphorical sense, but, too late, I had already attached the line to Sweetie Belle, and thus this comic was born.

As something of an experiment, I made this using 's many pointy pony resource packs. While it won't replace the more hand drawn style of comics like what I've done in the past, I will probably be using the pointy ponies in the future for quick throwaway comics like this, as that's just faster for me to produce (and I'm waaaaay too backlogged with projects as it is).

Background credit also goes to .

And I'm man enough to admit that Scootaloo's response was "inspired" by this comic by that I faved sometime ago.

I would urge you to read the pic's description a bit closer, then.

I don't think anybody really "grows up" entirely anyway...some just try and deny it harder than others.

In the class we read "Pygmalion" (which I enjoyed), but there was also a brief synopsis on Shaw in general before that that we had to read, and that was were I got the line "I want to be an action verb."

Well, AB's plans don't need any help. That means you can afford to spend a filly and a half of effort each on Scoots and Sweetie.

It's not going to be enough.

Scyphi In reply to fotland42 [2014-08-12 15:37:14 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, Apple Bloom's plans are the most logical of the bunch...in the sense that he becoming a big pony is pretty much unavoidable as that kind of comes with growing up. So unless she develops some kind growing deficiency...
