Inktober 4: Disney Princess

I decided to go with @a-spoonful-o-generosity's Silver Spoon for this because honestly, my brain went "lol matching hairstyles, let's do it"! Despite that, I think it came out nice! :)

[ask-cozy-glow89]

Good, now that that awkwardness is done and dusted, time for some other awkwardness.

Have you any in your friend group who can help you learn how to preen. I hear it's pretty important for Pegasi, Griffons and Hippogriffs.

I don't think, with all due respect, Mr. Saberspark can help you with that. He's a dragon.

I don’t have a friend group

[ask-sweetie-belle-and-spike]

Sweetie, first of all, don't be so modest, you are cute.

Secondly, if you want Spike to see you as more than a friend you got to speak up.

He has no idea.

You've got to step up and say, "Hey, I like you. Wana go out to Hayburger some time?" just got to get your hoof in the door.

Otherwise one day, that door may close.

Thank you for the advice miss spoon? I’m pretty sure I’ve heard that name before

Battle of Gettysburg - Day 1

July 1

10:00 AM

I Corps Arrives at Gettysburg

"Forward, charge!" The Lieutenant Colonel ordered, and in response the 6th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment lurched forward. "Align on the colors! Close up on that color! Close up on that color!" Their commander shouted, as the stragglers from the broken 95th New York and 14th Brooklyn Regiments joined them. In one strong mass, they moved across the field and charged towards the unfinished railroad cut, where Davis' Brigade took cover.

At 10:00 in the moring, just as Buford's cavalry were buckling under the pressure of Confederate attacks, the 1st Division of the Union I Corps arrived at Gettysburg. Moving quickly from the south of town, the division's 2nd Brigade was the first to arrive in the scene, quickly deploying at McPherson's ridge, north of the Chambersburg Pike. However, just as they were relieving the cavalry troopers deployed there, Davis' Confederate brigade moved up and struck them hard. Caught in the middle of deploying their forces, they were unprepared to receive the attack and were soon fighting a desperate battle, as some regiments began to retreat.

Meanwhile, south of the Chambersburg Pike, the 1st Brigade, of the 1st Division, of the I Corps began to deploy. They were the famous Iron Brigade. Wearing their unique black Hardee campaign hats, they were easily recognizable. Deploying in front of Herbst woods, they soon saw Archer's Confederate Brigade marching out of it.

Upon seeing the Iron Brigade waiting for them outside the woods, one soldier from Archer's brigade remarked: "“Here are those damned black-hat fellers again… ’Tain’t no militia – that’s the Army of the Potomac!"

The Iron Brigade let loose a volley of musket fire against Archer's brigade and soon the two were engaged in heavy fighting, as the 2nd Brigade continued to struggle agaisnt Davis' brigade.

Moving up to the front to assist in the fighting, I Corps commander, Major General John Reynolds, moved behind the Iron Brigade, urging them forward. However, as he was doing this, a stray shot struck him. He soon fell, dead, leaving I Corps leaderless.

Despite the loss of their commander, the Iron Brigade were pressing hard against Archer's Confederate brigade. Soon the brigade was charging the Confederates, forcing them to retreat. During their retreat, the Iron Birgade managed to capture a great number of prisoners, including Brigader General Archer himself.

However, the fight was far from over, because of the right the 2nd Brigade collapsed under the pressure of Davis' Confederate brigade, leaving their right flank exposed. Quickly, the Iron Brigade began to swing right to face the new threat, as the 6th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment, which was held back by the Iron Birgade to act as a reserve, charged forward.

Struck by heavy musket fire, the regiments of Davis' brigade took cover in an unfinished railroad cut that ran parallel on the northern end of the Chambersburg Pike. However, while pinned in the cut, the troops of the 6th Wisconsin managed to outflank them and capture a good portion of the brigade.

By 12:00 noon most of the morning's fighting had subsided. There was now a lull, as fresh units from both sides began to arrive. For the Union, the rest of I Corps and XI Corps arrived to strengthen their defenses. For the Confederates, Pender's Division, of the Third Corps, arrived to join Heth's mauled division.

For the defense of Gettysburg, I Corps deployed on the west of town, while XI Corps moved north of town, ready to cover the roads there.

For two hours there was no fighting, aside from the occational artillery exchange from both sides. However, that would soon change, as another intense Confederate attack would strike, this time targeted at where I Corps and XI Corps met. Meanwhile, far to the north, a new force arrived, the Confederate Second Corps.

Featuring @whirlwindflux @flashmod and @a-spoonful-o-generosity as members of the famous Iron Brigade. All three wear the iconic black Hardee campaign hats, which was different from the blue forage cap worn by most Union troops.

[snowysoul-squrirel]

Only you can do something about Ms Derpy's abuse, Darling. Pester the old man until he goes away and crawls back under the rock from wince he came.

Alright... I'll send the anons. GOod luck, soldier

[sweetestofbelles]

It's always so frustrating when somepony says the nicest things but they're in anon. I don't get a lot of nice things said. And it's sad that A. They might not see it by the time I post my response, and B. I can't do anything but respond the one time.

You know that feeling, Sweetie?

"Sometimes. . ."

. . .

"How much tea do you drink?"

[the-sister-of-the-sun]

"If I'm correct in my assumption, I would say that this is based on the games in the Bayonetta franchise, a sort of spiritual spin-off from the Devil May Cry series. But instead of fighting demons, you're slaughtering angels, who are just as aggressive and mass produced as kill fodder as Devil May Cry's demons."

"There's plenty of references to Sparda, Eva and even Dante himself in the dialogue, unlockable items and even in the fighting styles. But I guess that's what happens when Capcom allows SEGA to keep those in their finished product."

BOOM!

@codeunderscore404dashcom

Starlight surged forward, placing herself like a wall between the child and the encroaching threat. Her horn blazed with raw power, and she unleashed a thunderous burst of energy in a brilliant flash of arcane light. The air cracked with electricity as the force exploded outward, slamming into the strange being hard.

@a-spoonful-o-generosity

The mind is a sacred place. To violate means the ultimate disrespect. Little Sunny may have laughed, but it does not give him the right to reach it. He's a small child, Silver. Besides that, the thing gives off an unsettling presence. Let's all face it. I would have laughed too. - Starlight Glimmer

[askmidnightspell]

Darling, you have memory of that day, it's just locked deep in your subconscious.

If you can trust somepony to look into your mind, that has such an ability, that might unlock those dormant memories.

Viewing the past can be a very unpleasant expereince. You can ask Princess Twilight if she enjoyed her "trip".

Uh..I mean, I'm not too sure I'd...particularly want anypony doing that, even if I knew anypony that could -- which...I don't think I do, at least.

[askponyinuyasha]

Mr. Inuyasha, please calm down. Derpy means well and I would rather you didn't tempt Sombra by threatening her, Darling.

Whom she calls her "cat".

As a personal favor, please just accept the muffin?

@asksombraandderpy

[idreamofopaline]

Excellent.

Perhaps somepony more experienced with complex spells could use it?

There has to be somepony in Ponyville who could cast it safely and effectively.

Shall I inform Mr. Spell this is an option or would you rather do so?

[ask-cozy-glow89]

First lesson. A pony just told you that they consider themself as your friend and wants to help you as best they can. Do you

A. Ignore?

B. Tell them you're not interested?

C. Say I'm not ready for a friendship?

D. Say you appreciate their friendship and let them know you consider yourself a friend to them as well?

No pressure, no wrong answers, only options and alternatives to your one worded response. Which is fine. I'm just proposing other ways to respond for you to chose from.

Other ponies might find "neat" unsatisfactory after putting themselves out there for you. Just saying.

D. Say you appreciate their friendship and let them know you consider yourself a friend to them as well

[whirlwindflux]

Flux: Prism would totally do the same to me, let’s be honest..

The Battle of Gettysburg's 160th Anniversary - Day 1

"This tragedy and what it brings

All the devastation

Men will kill, blood will spill

To preserve the nation"

On This Day:

Buford's Cavalry Defend Gettysburg

I Corps Arrives at Gettysburg

Collapse of the Union line

[ask-sweetie-and-pip]

Sweetie, doesn't it get on your nerves how @evilkingsombra can send you your counterpart to kill you one minute and then just causally asks you about random ponies the next?

I don't think he genuinely has multiple personality disorder. More likely, he's doing it to screw with us!

Ah, Sombra......

@drakowulf Did you open my secret box on the bed?! *Crack hooves* >:(

((Mod is experimenting with style :X))

[sweetestofbelles]

Let me make a counter point on your inquiry about Babs Seed. Did you think it was FAIR for Babs to suddenly turn on Diamond and myself when we had never said a cross word towards her?

Did you think it was fair or funny when she pushed us in the mud, when she herself betrayed her own cousin and hunted you three down to torment you directly every day for like, a week?

Did you forget why you tried to murder her in a rigged parade float?

"Well, you both were bullies at the time. . . so, at the time, I just viewed it as her standing up for us. This was after we learned she was being bullied back where she lived."

"I don't like to think about it."
