@Cute Master
Yes, there is. There's also a Fluttershy version. I'm not going to link them, but they're the only explicit images under the "supercut" tag on Derpibooru, which only has 8 images total, so they should be easy to find.

So, my good friends, now that the season is over, what do you hope for in season 6? We got a lot of characters brought back and fleshed out this season, so who would you like to see next?
(Crossing my fingers for some Trixie development. She's a character worth exploring.)

@Stunthead

I've been waiting for a Celestia episode for quite a few seasons now. I get that being the mysterious god-empress is kinda her shtick, but goddammit, she's a fairly major character and we still know nothing aside from a few tidbits like her love of cake. Is it too much to ask that we get a slice of her daily life, eh?

So… I made a new update to Sburb Ponies after like… 2 weeks… Which is actually a step up from normal. Here it is: Link

At this point, I'm surprised its not starting to fall into self parody… I mean, the entire twist revealed here is basically some thought that I knew was absolutely stupid, and probably bad writing, but the idea kinda wouldn't go away and I ended up stuck with it. But then again, I know there's dumber things that have happened in the same story so its like… This isn't the worst abuse of plot twists I've done.

On the other hand, I have a habit of revealing plot twists in the most mundane of fashion and everypony being like… "This is a thing, it is also dumb and not really a dramatic thing so we'll just tell you rather than make a deal out of it."

… And this time is no different. Only this time they're being just a little bit snarky about it. Which is probably like the first sign that its slowly decending into self parody, in the manner of an Abridged series… Or if not a parody, at the very least self aware.

It also doesn't help that I've finally finished watchin Yugioh Abridged. Kinda wish I had more good abridged series to watch.

@Brownmane
That's actually a pretty good point. She really is the only major character that has not been explored at all. Remember when people used to joke that it was LUNA who would never be heard from again? Now she has twice the depth Celestia has.

I don't know how many people here watch blind reactions; I find myself getting annoyed and yelling at the reactor more often than not, but every once in a while you find a really good one. Current favorite: Demonangel13. I recommend you check out her reaction to alicorn Twilight below. It's really sweet. I wonder how many other people reacted to Alicorn Twilight in a similar way?

Ok so the thread has gotten a little quiet. Let's play a game!

So you've been hired as the new art director / grand overlord of the Equestria Girls series, given carte blanche to change and update the art in any way you see fit. Now, obviously, there's been quite a few re-imaginings of the art style floating around the internet since the first movie came out, and since having a real job with responsibilities has taken away precious shitposting time you figure you should just pilfer a new style from the fandom.

So then: which big-shot fan-artist do you choose?

Platus, the show has answered that question for you already.

I hope that by "Mini-series" they just mean this miniture series of shorts and not a full-blown show.

While on the topic, I've always hoped that MLP would release official PONY shorts online, like the Equestria Girls ones but with hooves. That would be such a good way to keep interest over hiatuses, fill in plot holes, focus on non-mane 6 characters withought having to devote entire episodes to them and explore things that the show wouldn't normally be able to. I've already come up with several ideas for shorts that I would make if I wrote for this show. In related news, it's a good thing I don't write for the show. I would traumatise so many children.

I had another of my usual weird thoughts.

So some set up to this thought… Let's say, that either in Equestria, or possibly in some alternate universe where MLP style ponies and people live alongside each other; someone decides to make a live action adaption of the show. In the former case, maybe its a historical recreation, and in the later case, its simply adapting an AU based cartoon.

Whatever the case… What kind of casting critiria would there be for a pony to play the role of Twilight Sparkle?

The question gets complicated once you take into account the fact Twilight starts off as a Unicorn and becomes an Alicorn. Which leads to some issues with the whole before and after issue:
1. If they only have a Unicorn play it, they may get through to season 3's end, but there comes issues when you'd have to shoot scenes afterwards where she's flying, though they could use a stunt double for that.
2. If they switch from Unicorn to Pegasus after season 3, that could lead to oddities that we're already aware of when normal actors have to be shuffled.
3. If they went with a Pegaus from the start, then for seasons 1 through 3 they'd have to have the make up artists hide their wings, which is a bit harder than making a fake horn. Plus they'd also have to have a team of Unicorns on the special effects team to pull off the illusion of her casting magic, which may cost more than simply having the actress herself do it.
4. If they go all out trying to find a pony that has managed to find a way to become an Alicorn themselves, there will be the issue of that pony not being an established actor, not to mention there'd be that wing issue again. If they're hired before season 3.

Just some thoughts I had… For all I know it could be one of those situations where multiple actoresses of varying races would be on hand for the whole thing, knowing how often Twilight has changed form… Often due to Discord.

Oh man. What a tough decision! Uotapo definitely has great style and design and has done a ton of EqG stuff that's A+ quality (he did the source of one of my profile pics), but my original pony artist fave is definitely Dreatos. He's done so many awesome works, but I've yet to see any EqG stuff come from him, so I'm really curious how he'd do!

I was so mad when I had to miss him at Super Speedy Cider Con, which was only a state away. I really want to get him to sign my copy/cover of Past Sins!

↑ Best book in my library hooves down!!!

Speaking of which, the conversation that Celestia and Luna had during the last scenes of Slice of Life could be a good starting point if they eventually do a Celestia episode, like "a day in the life of the princess of the sun". That's plan A. But for plan B, well, I don't know, history lessons?

I used to like watching reaction videos to My Little Pony episodes then I took an arrow to the knee but then I found myself getting angry during the videos. Mainly because it brings back memories of when I saw the Equestria Girls movies in theaters and how people would not stop screaming, cheering and other kinds of yelling throughout. Yes it was fun watching The Houston Bronies (Look up Houston Bronies react to Canterlot Wedding by Leoempire, that was the thing that got me to watch these fucking things lol) freak out over how awesome the Canterlot Wedding was because who didn't amirite? And it was funny at first hearing people shout and scream in surprise as Twilight went through the portal and became a human despite the fact that…..well it was all part of the reason to watch Equestria Girls so I'm surprised they're surprised by that especially when walking into the theater you walk past a poster featuring Human Sparkle but I digress.

But after a few short minutes of dealing with that it gets annoying, more annoying than annoying actually. Especially considering I'm sure half the reactions to these episodes are over exaggerated as they're going "People won't laugh at my semi chuckles at this episode I NEED TO GET EXTREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEME!" and that is literally 99% of reaction videos of My Little Pony. One group I used to like to watch were pretty good from Season 3 to 4 when it comes to reacting because they were appropriate when it comes to over the top reactions like they knew when not to scream and shout. But then season 5 came around, they're all in college/the real world now and can only do these reactions every few months (seriously, I think they JUST watched episode 10 of season 5) and now they're falling into the category of "EXTREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEME REACTIONS!" as they shout and have over the top laughing fits over fanservice but then miss the legitimately funny exchange by the mane 6 almost immediately because they're still laughing over Buff Biceps popping out of nowhere and picking up Spike with his pectorals. Then of course when you see them in season 5 videos it also looks like they're more interested in hanging out with the friends they probably don't see anymore due to school and work (which is highly understandable, can't even have the movie marathons I used to have with friends back in Highschool just because when we hang out we don't want to just sit around) than wanting to watch My Little Pony which just raises the point of "Why are you even doing this anymore if you guys are playing with plushies for a quarter of the episode?"

Long story short, I'll check out this demonangel person later. Anything to forget about constant yelling and cheering.

@Kewl
I really only got into reactions because it was a nice way of rewatching episodes, especially when you're seeing someone's journey right back from season 1 (Like DemonAngel). It really puts into perspective what makes the show great while still showing how much has changed.

But yeah, there are a lot of obnoxious and fake reactors out there. There's this one guy who punctuates every sentence with an awkward fake laugh, and there was this other guy who was eating popcorn with large gloves on while watching an episode. It was the most distracting thing ever. Then there was the guy who reacted to the Crusaders getting their marks by fully reenacting Shia Labeouf's "DO IT" speech. I don't watch reactors for skit comedy, I watch them for… reactions.

DemonAngel has very poignant reactions, but they're pretty clearly genuine. Another highlight was her reaction to Coco Pommel (Coco Chanel is an idol of hers). I also watch this other reactor called COHNaturesFury who's very real. She doesn't exactly have a lot to say, and when she does say something it's usually pretty basic, but it's nice, y'know? Feels like you're sitting down and watching an episode with a friend. Every once in a while I also check out Luffyiscool. He's probably the textbook definition of a good reactor. Attentive, real, makes meaningful comments, good qualtiy audio… I'm not subscribed to him but I always check out how he reacts to the "Big" episodes or the "REALLY good" episodes.

You know what makes me mad? Reading the Youtube comments of the MLP IDW issue #37.

I mean, seriously! What were those idiots reading?! It seems that they don't care about the quality of writing. Instead, they only care whether Sombra and Radiant Hope will be reunited again or not. Only people on EqD and Derpibooru as far as I know have expressed disappointment about the latest MLP IDW issue. Even that one guy who loved the Umbrum's designs and loved the first three issues of the arc was angry when Sombra was redeemed.

You have to remember the thing about Youtube, people are either really positive or extremely negative on Youtube. Multiply that by at least 5 when it comes to bronies. Case in point, there are still comments on Snowdrop, and Fall of the Crystal Empire saying "OOOOOOOOOOMG GREATEST THING EVUUUUUUUR!" and from what I remember people outside of Youtube pretty much came to the conclusion that Snowdrop was just "meh" a few days after it came out and the initial hype of "First big fan animation" wore down.

Shudders with fear Snowdrop.

Oh, I forgot. I am also following a fanfic. Here it is

Chapter 1:

-Woona gets up after falling from a hole. She meets Flowey, who teaches the filly about LOVE. Woona's LV is 1/2, and her HP is 50/50. There is also a blue bar next to her HP bar.
-Flowey decides to "share some LOVE" to Woona using "friendliness pellets". Guess what happens to poor Woona?
-Flowey tries to finish Woona off, but the blue bar decreases, and Woona uses the ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE to blow Flowey and his attacks away.
-Woona is hurt and crying until Toriel appears and heals her. After Toriel introduces herself, she offers to take care of Woona and keep her safe.

Chapter 2:

-Toriel guides Woona through the Ruins. Woona tries to read a sign to solve one of the puzzles, only to find that she is too short to read a sign and that she cannot read the letters on the sign.
-Toriel helps her out. The sign says, "Only the fearless may proceed. Brave ones, foolish ones. Both walk not the middle road."
-Woona tries to solve the puzzle by pressing a switch, but she is too light to do so. So Woona instructs Toriel to step on the switches to complete the puzzle.
-The duo reach the next chamber, and Woona hits the third lever on a wall, only for her to get drenched with warm and soapy water. Apparently, Woona thought the puzzle involved finding the odd one out.

Chapter 3:

-Toriel gives Woona a bath in a warm and soapy water.
-Afterwards, Woona is trained to fight in combat with a dummy. She waves at the dummy, and it waves back. Toriel thinks that it was possessed by a spirit momentarily. The duo walks away with Flowey laughing evilly at their backs. Turns out it was Flowey behind this trick.
-Woona enters a battle against a Froggit. Woona tries to befriend it by giving it a hug, but when she gets up on two legs, she forgets to use her wings to balance herself and falls backwards. Froggit is amused by this and approaches Woona to return the hug. The monster leaves the battle and leaves Woona with a couple of coins.
-Woona tries to solve a spike puzzle in the next room but hurts herself. Toriel solves it herself instead.
-Woona and Toriel get into a heartwarming and feelsy moment when they call each other mother and child while hugging each other.

Chapter 4:

-Toriel walks through a long chamber with Woona following her. At the end of the chamber, Woona is instructed to wait there until Toriel returns. Woona is given a cell phone, a map, and a pair of saddle bags to use.
-Toriel calls Woona a couple of times with her cell phone and tells the filly that she is not going to be with Woona for a while. A dog snatches Toriel's cell phone, and Woona uses the ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE to frighten the dog and make it give the phone back.
-Woona encounters Flowey far away in the hallway. Woona runs away and befriends a Whimsum and Moldsmals along the way.
-Woona encounters a ghost named Napstablook, and they immediately become friends. When the ghost creates a hat and calls it "Dapperblook", Woona makes a hat out of her map and calls it a "Cartographer's Cap". She gets a Blook-hug from Napstablook afterwards.

Expanding your horizons to crossovers, huh?

Sort of. The stories I'm currently following is either on hold or not updating frequently due to author busy dealing with real life or the author not showing much interest in the story. I want to read something that has frequent updates, so I decided to try a crossover fic written by Tatsurou, who is an avid writer and reader on Fimfiction.

So the MLP Facebook page just posted a promo for season six. Could that mean we'll be getting an announcement sooner rather than later?

I hope so – since the end of season five, pony activity on this site has been almost dead.

Ponus have been dead since Fausticorn ascended with her husband to Wonder Over Yonder.

Jokes aside, I think the mid-season hiatus may have been part of that. It probably made it so that there was a smaller one without there being a regular huge one at the end. I suspect Hasbro and Discovery learned that you need to keep momentum going to not lose interest at least from the periphery demographic despite the increasing quality of the show.

I agree though. I doubt they'd post a teaser image unless it was sorta close to the premiere. That said, I think they'd give a loose premiere timeframe if they knew when they'd actually premiere the season.

>pony activity on this site has been almost dead
So what you are saying is that we aren't ponying enough? Because i have a huge backlog of things to post, from Horse Wife to Cosplay, i just need some free time to open the txt file and grab a few links.

NSFW isn't exactly my thing, though, so i can't cover that part of the image gallery posts.

Image posts have been down – to the point where we've been off the "top image galleries" list for a couple of days. So if you're looking for a time to post a lot of pony, this is it.

" since the end of season five, pony activity on this site has been almost dead."
That's the nature of Hiatus' People tend to focus energy on things that are being updated with new content over Hiating works. I haven't heard a peep out of Steven Universe for weeks until the Steven Bomb, and <LP hit a similar dead spot between Seasons 4-5, this is just natural

Oh My God! Somebody finally posted! Its been almost 2 weeks!

Unfortunately I have no pony related thoughts right now.

I haven’t heard a peep out of Steven Universe for weeks until the Steven Bomb, and <LP hit a similar dead spot between Seasons 4-5, this is just natural

The heck does LP stand for here? The only thing I can think of is my initials… And also maybe the name for those old Vinyl Records.

I think they were trying to type MLP but they hit the < button by mistake.

Anway, since the thread is so quiet, time to share a few random tidbits that I've had on my mind recently. First up, Rainbow Dash; Champion of Adorably Subtle Background Animations for five seasons running.





Next up: This pony, who finally confirmed the existance of underwear in Equestria.

Thank you, Mob Pony 3, you have made a major breakthrough in the horsebutt field of research.

Finally, as many of you probably know, Screwball returned as of the season 5 finale.

Remember that post up there where I said that Trixie is a character with a lot of potential that I would love to see more of? Same goes for Screwball.

Think about it… A cheerful, manic pink pony with a poofy mane who revels in insanity and suffering? She could totally be canon's answer to Pinkamena! Plus I would love to see her interact with Discord in a father/daughter sort of way. Imagine Discord trying to lovingly manage a TOTAL ANARCHIST who's more unstable than he is. That would develop his character by leaps and bounds. Idunno, maybe it's just me, but she could make a pretty epic anti-hero. Maybe even an antagonist, at least for a bit. Like the dark counter to Pinkie, similar to Lightning Dust/Rainbow or Trixie/Sunset/Starlight/Moondancer/Twilight.

And now for an update on The Moon in the Dark.

Chapter 5:

-Woona continues her journey through the Ruins. Woona encounters another Moldsmal and a Migosp. She does nothing and they leave Woona alone.
-Woona encounters a Vegetoid, who offers her vegetables. She eats one colored green, and the monster leaves after seeing that Woona was satisfied.

-Woona equips Faded Ribbon.
-Woona finds Napstablook at the bottom of a hole and uses her magic to lift the ghost back up.
-Woona crosses a chamber and solves a puzzle to enter a large chamber with a tree in the middle. She finds Toriel waiting for her.
-Tired after her adventure through the Ruins, Woona goes to sleep in a room Toriel provided for her.
-The next day, Toriel offers a pie to Woona. While she is eating, Toriel laments about her past and the fates of the previous humans who found their way to the Underground. While standing near the door that leads to the other parts of the Underground, she gets into a conversation with a character who has a knack for puns. (It's implied to be Sans.)
-The mysterious character promises to take care of Woona when Toriel is not around her. The mysterious character Pinkie Promises that he will not break his oath. Apparently, he knows about Pinkie Promises….

Chapter 6:

-Woona wakes up and smells pie. She picks up a pie on a plate next to her bed, but the pie is cold. She decides to put it in her saddlebag instead. Woona then discovers that even though the pie is bigger than the saddlebag, the pie can still fit inside of it due to magic.
-Woona follows the scent to the kitchen. She finds a fresh-baked pie on a table, but she's too small to reach it. So she tries to climb the ceiling using wet flour to do so, but gets stuck in the ceiling when a toaster clutches onto her tail.
-Toriel enters the kitchen and finds Woona stuck on the ceiling. Woona falls from the ceiling and into the butterscotch/cinnamon pie and begins to eat it.
-After the pie incident, Woona learns how to read and write the monster language with Toriel. She also gets a tour of Toriel's house and learns how to conjure flame with magic.
-Woona discovers something strange at the corner of the bookcase. Toriel says that it is a photograph, but sounds pained when she tells her.
-Night falls, and Woona sneaks out of the room to find the photograph. She discovers the picture of Toriel's family (Toriel, Asgore, Asriel, and Chara). Woona realizes that something about the picture is making Toriel sad but doesn't know why. She decides to do something to make her mother feel happy the next day.

Chapter 7:

-Woona improves her reading and writing in her language and in the monster language. She has stayed in the Ruins for several months, but she has not grown an inch ever since she fell to the Underground.
-Toriel uses her magic to scan Woona to see what's up with her body, and she finds that Woona has far more "physical matter" than Monsters. Toriel explains that Monsters are made up mostly of magical matter and that the food they eat are made up of magical matter.
-Toriel: "While the food you eat down here is providing you with the magical energy you need to sustain your body, it isn't providing the…nutrients…you need to grow."
-Woona and Toriel go shopping together. Woona encounters a dog that tried to steal Toriel's cell phone a long time ago. When the dog tries to steal a flour from Woona, she tugs at the flour and the dog with her magic. Woona spares and befriends the dog after the confrontation. The dog gives her a Mysterious Torc that Woona equips.
-Woona buys a spider donut and a spider cider. She asks the spiders why they are saving money, and they show her a picture of a strange girl surrounded by swarms of spiders living in Hotlands. Apparently, they are separated from them, and it's too cold to travel there by themselves. Woona decides to help the spiders reach their home out before heading home.

Chapter 8:

-Toriel is impressed at how fast Woona managed to grasp the concept of magic than the humans did. She also realized that Woona would not use magic for combat.
-Woona shows Toriel her saddlebags and her inventory stack. Apparently, Woona managed to alter the ruins to make the bag hold eight types of items in her bag "and as many of that type of item as she can hold gold". This is all thanks to the Mysterious Torc that she equipped in the previous chapter.
-Woona asks Toriel about humans and if she has a "Daddy", but Toriel seemed uncomfortable about this.
-Toriel tells briefly about her family and how her son and the first human died on the same day. Then she tells things about how Asgore (who is Toriel's ex-husband) did terrible things that caused her to break up with him. Woona leaves afterwards.
-Night falls, and Woona sneaks out to a bed of golden flowers, which is where she first fell.
-Woona goes to the fallen human's grave and speaks his name, "Chara." Suddenly, the spirit of Chara steps into the shadows.
-Chara explains about himself and that he only emerges when a person who has given in to rage, hatred, or other negative emotions calls his name. When Woona tells him that she wants to bring Toriel's family back, Chara scoffs at the filly's words.
-Woona is insistent and tells Chara that she will accomplish her goals to save everyone in the Underworld. She then offers Chara a ride inside her soul. Chara sucks himself inside Woona's body, only to find that he has no power to take over Woona's emotions. Chara realizes how strong Woona is even though she is very young, and is eager to see how DETERMINED the filly is in her journey.

Oh yeah. The Moon in the Dark is about to head to one of my favorite parts of Undertale. Here's what happened in the latest chapter.

-Now with Chara inside Woona's soul, she realizes that she must befriend the monsters in the Underground and try and reunite Toriel's family before Chara will grow strong enough to control her body.
-Chara mocks Woona's plans when she says that she will try and escape the Ruins on Toriel's birthday.
-Woona prepares Toriel's birthday party. She also gets Spider Cider++ from the hundreds of Star Spiders she made friends with in chapter 7.
-Woona celebrates Toriel's birthday with her new mommy and gives her the Spider Cider++.
-Toriel chugs down the bottle of cider and parties with Woona. She falls asleep afterwards. It turns out that Woona put a sleeping potion inside the cider.
-Woona sneaks down the basement and out of the Ruins.
-Flowey taunts Woona about how she snuck out of the Ruins. Woona hugs Flowey and apologizes for trying to eat him because she thought Flowey was food when she first saw him in chapter 1. Chara is bemused by this.
-Flowey gets confused with emotions and leaves before she expresses his feelings towards Woona. Woona is confused, but presses forward while leaving a voice mail for Toriel on her cell phone.
-Woona's voice mail indicated that she was going to sneak out to try and bring Toriel's family back together.
-After exiting the Ruins, Woona is walking through a cold and snowy path, determined to accomplish her mission once and for all.

I totally did not expect Woona to do anything I mentioned in the spoiler tags. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how she will interact with Sans and Papyrus in the next chapter.

So Hasbro is getting sued for using a font without permission in the 4th generation of My Little Pony.
 
…The font for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Generation B.

Generation B belonged to and was developed by a group called Font Bros America, but Hasbro never paid them for it or asked permission to use it.

Even worse, whatever alterations Hasbro used for it didn't even come with a name change: It shows up as the name Font Brothers used for it in the danged page info right on the first page.

There's a link showing it at the Equestria Daily article, but I was able to find it myself.

Like…Hasbro isn't even trying to cover it up or anything. I'm not sure if that's gangsta or just plain not smart. But it doesn't seem as if they're going to try to settle it out of court or admit guilt just yet.

@Verbs

Sounds like they're pressuring for an out-of-court settlement to me. According to EQD, "Font Brothers demand the destruction of all products and material which utilize the infringing font," which comprises a huge amount of G4 products, if not literally all of them. The show, the toy packaging, the promotional materials, all of them use Generation B.

This demand is nigh-impossible to fulfill, and even if Hasbro somehow manages it, Font Bros. will gain almost nothing from the destruction. What I think FB is trying to do with this is get Hasbro to pay them a settlement so they won't have to go to court in the first place.

Verbose said:

And yet, Font Bros opening advertises on their site that (emphasis added):

Generation B is one of the official fonts used in the TV series My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic! Enjoy, my little Bronies!

My guess is there was a license, negotiations for renewing broke down, and they're trying to pressure Hasbro with a lawsuit. If Hasbro did steal it, and Font Bros knew and did nothing, I don't think a federal judge will take kindly to Font Bros assertions.

A German website has revealed what looks to be the name of Cadance and Shining Armor's baby. Brace yourselves for small royaltyhorse (and accompanying playsets)!

Princess Flurry Heart!
Because we gotta get that Frozen money somehow. Ice stuff is all the rage. In other news, slightly disappointing that it's not going to be a colt. That would have been more interesting, but I guess it wouldn't have sold as well. Oh well, in any case, here's to the new Princess Furry Fart!

Oh, man. The latest chapters in The Moon in the Dark was cute and scary. Here's how everything went.

In case you guys are wondering, Woona has recently escaped the Ruins and is traveling through the snowy area, where she meets the Skeleton Bros..

-Woona travels through the snowy terrain while making a light pun about snows to herself. She giggles to herself, but she also hears another giggle from somewhere around her. She continues forward anyway.
-Woona hears a noise behind her and shoots magic to where the sound came from. The magic destroys a bunch of trees in the path. Luckily, Woona has not killed anyone with her magic blast.
-Woona hears a voice behind her. She bucks with her hind legs and hits something that emits air out of it. The voice sounds disappointed, as it says that even with a full force kick, it did not deflate the whoopee cushion in his hand. He checks Woona's stats and it turns out she has -12 ATK.
-Woona turns around and meets Sans, a skeleton wearing a blue hoodie. Woona recognizes Sans as Toriel's friend, since her planner has skeleton puns written all over it.
-Woona introduces herself and Chara. Sans is surprised to see Chara's soul surrounding Woona's soul. Sans tells him that he wants to introduce her to his brother, Papyrus.
-Unfortunately, Woona is struggling to get out of the snow that she partially buried herself into while trying to hide from Sans. So Sans lifts the filly and places her into his hood.
-Sans meets Papyrus, who is upset that Sans has not been recalibrating his puzzles for eight days.
-Woona draws a picture of Chara's face on a paper and places the paper in front her head to create a Human Mask. This way, Woona will pretend to be a human and will allow Papyrus into the Royal Guard once he captures Woona.
-Papyrus is excited that Woona will pretend to be a human for him and rushes off to prepare his puzzles. Woona and Sans follow him afterwards.

-Sans shows Woona while traveling along the way. He also shows a dimensional box that can hold up to 10 items in it.
-The duo encounters a Snowdrake. After Snowdrake tells them a snow pun, Woona laughs at the joke and encourages the monster to follow his dream to become a comedian. Snowdrake leaves happily.
-Papyrus tells Sans to put Woona down, but Sans tells his brother that she can't walk through the snow on her own.
-"BUT IT WOULD BE SO RUDE TO LOOK AT A LADY'S STATS WITHOUT HER PERMISSION! WHAT KIND OF SKELETON DO YOU TAKE ME FOR?" "The gutless kind?" Woona offered, grinning impishly.
-After Papyrus gets upset at Woona's skeleton pun, he checks Woona's stats:
-12 ATK; -12 DEF; SPEED and INVIS is pretty high, but the snow penalizes those stats heavily. Woona also has 50 MAG (magic).
-Papyrus gives Woona Snowboots to walk through the snow. Woona is happy about this, but Chara does not. Apparently, Chara does not like Papyrus and he shouts all the time.
-Woona encounters an Ice Cap. She exchanges hats with it, only for the hat to melt on her head. Ice Cap restores the ice hat back to normal and exchanges the hats back. Woona offers a bit of advice to Ice Cap about finding who he is outside his hat and gives him a hug.
-Woona encounters Doggo. She doesn't move at first, then pets him on the head while catching the monster off-guard.
-Woona meets Sans again and hitches a ride on Sans' hoodie while taking a nap.

And now for the scary chapter….

-Woona wakes up. Papyrus rushes up to Sans and says that even as a human, capturing Woona will not do any good for Papyrus. Instead, she must pretend to be "superhuman".
-Papyrus give Woona the costumes she needs to be a "superhuman", which include Tough Gloves, Manly Bandanna, and Stained Apron. He then leads Papyrus to a cave so that she can uppercut it to prove herself that she is "superhuman".
-Woona decides to put all of her magic behind her punch. As she does, she completely annihilates the mountain.
-Woona thinks that she had done something amazing by freeing the monsters from the Underground, but then she realized that she killed all of the ponies at the same time, including her sister.

-Woona wakes up from the horrible nightmare.
-"it's alright," Sans told her quickly, reassuring her. "it was just a bad dream. that never really happened…"
Anymore, Chara commented dryly.
-Turns out those events that occurred in her "nightmare" actually did happen. Good thing she managed to reset with Sans' help to erase the horrible stuff that she did.
-Papyrus brings stuff to have Woona dress up as a superhero. Sans takes the stuff away from his brother, saying that it's not a good idea to dress Woona in a character with those clothes. He destroys the Gloves and the Bandanna using his Gaster Blaster. Papyrus gets to keep the apron, though.
-Woona equips the Stained Apron. "Dun du-du-dun! It's Supermoon!" Her nightmares disappear afterwards.

Hope nothing else scary happens soon. I'm looking forward to seeing how Woona will fare in Papyrus's puzzles.
