No Gods - No Masters

Thank you for being here with me, even if we're only little things for a little while.

"Why do you tag all your art 'LGBTQ' even if it doesn't feature anything gay?"🧐

"Because the kind of people who would block that tag are people I don't want to interact with." 😘 🌈

In brief- Sexy Old Man Discord, much like Birdetta's Big Butt before him, is my artistic comfort food, like a big bag of doritos. His utter, unfettered, carefree joy in existence is a happy place of sorts while at the same time being my fart-joke equivalent of George Harrison performing "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". If you don't get that reference, live a little. *smiles* It'll do ya a world of good. Big Love to ya, Eternal Courtship Style.

I see your Pinkie on Pinkie and I raise you Pinkie on Pinkie on a Pinkie!

Making time for fun, games and healthy intimacy between partners is a good thing, a healthy thing. Seeing it always made Prince Thorax happy. However it was also reason number 57 he was adding to the list of the many, many reasons he should try harder to remember not to use the magical beetle video-scrying device to call his mothers, unannounced. He never knew when they might be continuing "the adventures of ""The Under-The-Bleachers Adventures of The Flirty Cheerleader and her bad-girl librarian partner, Dog-Ear". With all respect and happiness for their healthy marriage, this was still one of many of the things his mothers did he just wasn't keen to know about

Next time. He would just send a letter. Always, he told himself, "next time".

For all the trans folkes, all the enbys, Theys, Gentlethems and lovers in love. The World needs more sweet gay ponies! More love! More laughs and a lot less frowns! Your love is your happiness and your happiness is your life and we're all fortunate enough to share in this world with you!

"I think that is an answer to that myth. It is that time is neutral. It can be used either constructively or destructively. I am absolutely convinced that the forces of ill-will in our nation did often use time more effectively than the forces of good-will. It may well be that we are going to have to repent in this generation, not merely for the vitriolic words of the bad people and the violent actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence and indifference of the 'good' people who have stood around and say wait on time. Somehow we must come to see that social progress never rolls in on the wheels of inevitability. It come through the tireless efforts and the persistent work of dedicated individuals and without this hard work time itself becomes an ally of the primitive forces of social stagnation. And so we must help time. And we must realize that the time is always right to do right." -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. With power comes responsibility. We, great and mighty, small and afraid, one and all we have some power. Therefore, we all have some responsibility. Even if all we have is our voice, to use that one voice to inspire others we may change the world. By lending to the chorus of our brothers and sisters in the struggle or conducting the melody of a whole new change, we may accomplish the greatest of things in history but first, we must speak up.

Chrkkt-k'hk-tklrkh!! translation- "We can explain..." "MN-hmmmm? I'm not your Hive-momma and can't hear your thoughts so this ought to be inventive..." Twilight chuckled without smiling. Being The Pony-mother to her ever-increasing Royal Family of New Equestria had its ups and downs. On rare occasions, finding a reliable, short-notice baby-sitter for her brood of 187 web-spitting, emotion-eating larvae and their boundary issues was one of them. Special little ones require special love. It's all just part and parcel in The Eternal Courtship.

[ashleyfableblack]

Well look who's back!

Just poked my nose outside and was greeted by my old pal Archibald. Seems he has a new partner, Steve and their kid, Timothy. Timothy's favorite pony is Applejack. They say "hello" and hope you're doing well. ❄💙🌈💙❄

[ashleyfableblack]

Sorry. I don't make the rules. Best of luck with your new lifestyle.

[ashleyfableblack]

A little bit of love for the fellahs out there.

Sometimes in life you find that as you grow into adulthood your best friend may be more to you than just a friend. It's a little complicated to feel your way through but open hearts and open minds can open worlds if you let them.

It really helps if your mothers both support your relationship. Even if one is a little bit over-protective, being your adopted mom from another species with some cross-cultural issues about seeing you as an adult. Then there's your boyfriend's mom who is also a little bit over-protective. Over-protective in the same way that you could swat a fly with a inter-continental tactical ballistic missile and the two of them have enough baggage between them to fill twenty seasons of twice as many reality TV series from forced evolution to the near-elimination of her species but that's a whole other kettle of worms...

Still, love will always find a way, especially in The Eternal Courtship, Dragon Ambassador of Friendship, Prince of The Lovebug Commune or whatever ya got.

"She's got her pudding in the oven And it's gonna be good She better not leave me And go out to Hollywood She got the best pudding in the neighborhood She's my baby She can drive a truck She can drive a plane (my baby, m-my my baby) She can drive an aeroplane She's so good to look at in the rain She's my baby She's got a body for business, got a head for sin She knocks me over like a bowling pin She came home last night and said Honey, honey, honey it's hard to get ahead My baby My baby" She's My Baby- The Traveling Wilburys We aren't all married to an immortal embodiment of one of the fundamental forces which defined the existence of the universe, with a shared destiny reaching back to before time was even a concept and stretching out to touch the existence of every sentient being in the universe... But we all hope to have somebody who might just turn us into a towering pillar of strength or a blithering dimwit with just a smile. Love is amazingly complicated and also just that simple, even in The Eternal Courtship.

The Royal Family of New Equestria takes the little ones out for a night of cross-cultural fun. The scurvy pirate crew of the ghost ship "Frumping Bughorse" and their jolly first mate, pirate princess Bluemane seek adventure and vast hoards of candy booty on the high-seas of the streets of Ponyville. It's a bit of culture clash as the ancient sacred changeling rites of Night-mother's night meet their watered-down pony appropriation in Nightmare Night but it's all in the spirit of good fun for the little ones. Whatever your customs are, have a great time tonight. Blessings of Samhain. Happy Hallowe'en. Happy Nightmare Night and may the Night-Mother's love be with you always, Eternal Courtship style.

[ashleyfableblack]

Some would say that Nightmare Night is when all the women dress up as sexy versions of popular monsters.

Discord would say such an attitude is outdated, outmoded and for lesser, un-evolved creatures. If the Lord of Chaos wants to be be a sexy witch, there's certainly no reason that he can't be the sexiest witch ever. He's definitely got the figure for it. His legs can pull off the skirt a right treat as well. Besides, everyone knows that if you're going to hold a proper spooky seance you need three witches- the maiden, the mother and... the other one. Have a Blessed Samhain, Happy Hallowe'en or Spooky Season

Took a walk this morning to leave a letter in a neighbor's mailbox.

We need community in our communities. We need strength, warmth, courage and the solidarity birthed from their melding. We need love.

I feel that It may be a small thing but sharing with our neighbors means something vital to our humanity.

By reminding them that their simple lawn display is someone else's "Shazam!" It's "Popeyes spinach". It empowers that someone else to dust off, stand up, screw their head on and get back in the ring- One. More. Day. -It may not be a big thing. It may be everything.

We will survive. We will thrive. We will win.

Together, we will win because love ALWAYS wins. I believe that. I do.

"The arc of the moral universe is long but it bends towards justice." -Dr Martin Luther King Jr.

Take care of yourselves and take care of someone else.

It is I, Pondhopper! Sexy frog man! HA!

Today we go out to continue the protest against these fascist sacks of swill. Today we go out to protest the stripping of rights from American citizens. Today we take to the streets to protest the illegal kidnapping and detention of immigrants- Human Beings, done by masked cowards, all without due process of law or respect to their very humanity. Today we march in protest of the unlawful and illegal deployment of our own nation's soldiers in use against citizens to establish a regime of fear. Today we stand our ground and protest the removal of books from our schools and our libraries. Today we protest the erasure of our history, the erasure and violation of OUR VERY Constitution, the bedrock upon which our democracy is built.

Today we raise our voices in protest of a disgusting, despicable,, pathetic, vile little man and his band of violent thugs as they spew lie after lie and commit crime after crime, tearing down the great experiment of our democracy.

And we may just be doing it in frog costumes because if there's one thing that takes the wind out of a bully's sails it's laughing in their big, fat, stupid face like the pathetic little joke that they are.

WE THE PEOPLE have the power to see these fools torn down from their would-be thrones and laugh in their lying faces as we see justice done for their crimes against us all- ALL houses, ALL sides, ALL people.

Let's HOP to it.

HAH! See what I did there? *snickers* Fuck MAGA. Fuck these fascists. And FUCK little old donny twinklestick and his tiny, wrinkly, little baby hands. No Kings. Not Now. Not EVER.

A message of love, togetherness and the united effort to correct our path as a species towards one of peace from the original spaceman himself, Ace Frehely.

No matter how he changed over the years, his talent, drive, larger-than-life persona and roller-coaster life were a formative part of my love for music and rebellion against the world as I'd been taught is was in ALL walks.

You will always be missed, Ace. Spaceman, guitar legend and rock'n'roll legend. 😢💙💜💔🎸

"Where once two princesses played village gods

One of Day

One of Night

Both and neither as they appeared

Two Queens now reign a spiderweb empire

One of Love

One of Secrets

Both beloved, both feared

What we do in the shadows has power

The best shade made by the strongest light

A lesson, learned all too well

To rule the day is to own the night"

-Proverb found etched upon cave walls in the depths of the White-tail Woods, author unknown.
