Some sea cucumbers to warm up today ^_^ A few rather esoteric characters, some OCs for a friend, aaaaaaaaaaannnd Strongarm! =)

This anon challenges Sol to do a loaf too! I bet you can't do it like Stella does.

“You realize that Elysians are cat-like, right? Stella only imitates cats.” To prove his point, he lied down and loafed.

//Sadly, I don’t yet have art of Sol loafing, only Stella. Still, you can imagine it looking similar!

Psst... you guys ever do tax evasion too?

“No? Everyone here does their taxes. Right, Sol?”

Sol is silent.

“Uh… Sol? You don’t actually… evade your taxes, do you?”

“Mother does them for me. I just tell her what I want my taxes to go to. This year, I told her to put them towards Cyber Cross development.”

Stella breathed a sigh of relief. “Oh, thank Celestia… Well, you’re a Prince, so I guess you do get to choose…” She blinked. “Wait, how does that work?”

“Most of the ponies’ taxes just go to us to fund things that benefit the nation, but they can choose a specific thing for some of it to go to. Like I said, mine is going into developing our cars. I can actually have all of it go into that if I wanted, but I’d rather not. Other stuff is important, too.”

“Huh.” Stella is silent for a moment. “Your nation’s really cool.”

The new name suits you better :P

"Thanks! I wanted to make it more clear who everypony will be speaking to most of the time. Besides, it sounds cooler!"

"Mmm... Yeah, I suppose it is a nicer name for the blog."

"What, were you doubting me?"

"Not really. Just didn't really think about it until now."

"Oh. Okay!" Stella blepped.

Dear Stella & Sol, have you ever met your otherselves in the mutiverse? If so, what was the weirdest experience? - Aurora

"Actually, yes, we both have. However, I don't really keep very good track of that... I'm sure Sol remembers his favorite experience, but I don't think either of us recalls our weirdest experience."

"Admittedly, I've met so many versions of myself that it all kinda blends together, aside from a few standouts. I think my favorite other version of me is... hmm..." Stella thought about it for a moment, trying to remember. Then, a particular skeletal pony came to mind.

"Oh right, Skella! Yes, that's what I call her, and no, before you ask, she's not like Sans. She's been through a lot, but has really taken it all like a champ, much like myself! She's got this super cool, kinda demonic voice, and she's built some really cool cars, too! She's so cool! Maybe I should get her on the blog sometime..."

"One version of me immediately comes to mind. The one from Elysium-9, who I raced via a few simulators. He's really fast! Even with the Zero Realm, I could barely keep up! I suspect that he also has access to Zero, and that he's much more used to using it." Sol chuckled with a small smile. "I wanna race him again at some point, when I'm fast enough to match him."

Why r u gae?

"Who said I'm gay?"

"You are gay."

The two of them snicker, then laugh.

"Hah, classic meme. Right, so... I'm gay because I care more about who somepony is than how they look, to the point that appearance is practically not a factor at all. So... I guess I'm pan?"

"She likes to call herself a frying pan every once in a while, as a joke to reference that. Myself? Same thing, sort of. Romantically, I don't care about looks. However, I do find myself naturally attracted to the opposite sex. Not that the other option doesn't work, of course."

Hullllo Stella, I have been wonderinh what's that in your manes? The sprinkly stuff? Is that dandruff or.... ? -Aurora

“My name is magical, as is Sol’s. Mine is of a night sky, so I guess the sparkles are individual stars. Or… perhaps star systems? It’s definitely not dandruff, that stuff doesn’t glow.

“My mane and tail are imbued with my natural magic, and usually take its form to a limited extent. So… it’s sunlight magic. It shines and glows like the sun, just not as bright, and it sparkles like magic normally does.”

//These icons don’t really make that entirely clear, so I suppose you can check the /info page.

Hey Sol, I just realised you aren't all that smiley on your portraits... could it be... you are super duper serious all the time? Hmm...

Sol shrugged. "Eh... not all the time. You're not entirely wrong though, I do tend to take things a bit more seriously than Stellar does. At least, that's what it feels like."
