>>4085 A short fanfic I quite liked: Sleeping Habits https://www.fimfiction.net/story/380853/sleeping-habits "Rainbow Dash has rather a poor reputation when it comes to her workload. Everypony always thinks of her as the pony who takes three naps during daylight hours, and four on weekends, and always seems to be looking for something to do to pass the time. All of this is true, of course. But ponies seem to think this means that she must not ever get very much work done. Can the weather captain for all of Ponyville really be as lazy as she seems? Is that the only explanation for Rainbow Dash's free time and constant napping? The weather is a full-time job. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. And the worst weather happens at night. So weather ponies have strange sleeping habits. (Set before the events of the show.)"

>>4088 Nice story, thanks for sharing. Interesting to see a fic set before the start of the show.

More rainy ponies!

>>4108 >>4112 >>4113 Some good stuff.

>>5075 Pone should be careful so close to lightening storm. Do unicorn horns act as lightening rods?

>>5076 I think Cloudchaser knows what she's doing. I don't know. In "Look Before You Sleep", magical lightning rods are mentioned to be a thing, so it wouldn't surprise me. But we may need to conduct experiments to find out for sure.

Looks like a storm is heading my way.

>>5543 Now's about the time for that. Now that Thanksgiving is over the winter will be here soon enough. Though for me it's just a whole lot of rain as it doesn't snow where I live. I bet the ponies will be ultra cozy in their homes once the cold sets in.

>>4085 A lot of people hate the rain. I like it; creates a contemplative mood, especially when there is lightning and thunder.

>>15145 The rain definitely has it moments. And I'm sure equestrian rain would be special in it's own right as well.

I love this theme. This picture is not particularly violent, but I think you can really feel the length of Rarity's path.

>>15153 >Rarity out on a Winter morning stroll to take in the beauty of snow covered Ponyville. >Has on her "fashionable" winter boots. >Lensing effect on the sun's light by ice crystals in the air. >Narrow color pallet and Rarity being the only moving object implies stillness and quiet. >Smallness of Ponyville surrounded by wilderness, mountains, and Rarity's distance from town all imply vastness. I like it. But, what do you mean by the picture not being "particularly violent"?

>>15154 The other pictures all have some physical force tearing at the ponies, like wind or rain. These pictures are very serene, but it's the frigid harshness and the isolating grandness that makes them a struggle to live in.

>>15176 I know Selenophile draws a lot of more questionable content, but he really can produce a nice painting when he wants to. It's a very nice picture.
