Poison Oak

Poison Oak Written by Closer-To-The-Sun (Joseph Noblit) “Come on, Rarity, hurry up!” the excited unicorn filly called out as she hopped down from the fallen log to the dirty path. The neckerchief around her neck bounced lightly on the landing. “You don’t have to be in such a rush, Sweetie Belle! I assure you that the entire Everfree Forest isn’t be going anywhere,” the grown unicorn was talking her time walking through the path. She wasn’t sure why she agreed to go with her sister for this hike through the Everfree Forest, but Rarity was just happy to see Sweetie Belle happy. They never got to do th

Goodbye Stranger

Goodbye Stranger Written by Closer-To-The-Sun (Joseph Noblit) This was it. The biggest convention of them all. Clash of the Cosmos Con. A must-attend for anypony who is a fan of the amazing sci-fi franchise. Every year, this Baltimare con draws ponies of all ages from all over Equestria, and even beyond. And just like the years before, the convention tries to one-up itself from before: a star-studded guest list, an amazing live concert, activities for all ages to enjoy, panels for just about anything, crazy parties and, of course, a spectacular vendors hall. But behind every single thing that the convention offers, there are plenty of hard

Father And Son

Father And Son Writtten By Closer-To-The-Sun (Joseph Noblit) I was in my room before it all started. I was packing a few things for the whole thing. Sure, I was going to be here in Canterlot for the boot camp, but that doesn’t mean I will have the luxury of having a bed at home. I’ll be having to live with the rest of the recruits in the barracks. Staring into my open bag, I noticed how little I could really take with me. Only some clothing, hygiene stuff, and not much personal items. The sound of hoofsteps in the hallway broke me out of my daze. I looked up from my packing to see my dad was standing in the doorway. “Hey

This Too Shall Pass

This Too Shall Pass Written By Closer-To-The-Sun (Joseph Noblit) "You ordered a cherry muffin and a café mocha, that comes to four bits please." "Yes, here you are," the elderly mare shuffled around as he placed the currency on the counter next to the register. The pony behind the counter pressed a few buttons and the machine made noise as it accepted the charge. The transaction was complete. The elderly pony excited the shop into the early morning, leaving the stallion alone in the shop with one other individual. The cream colored stallion looked at his other guest, seated at the counter. He had seen this purple unicorn many times b

Things Your Smile Gives

Things Your Smile Gives Written By Closer-To-The-Sun (Joseph Noblit) Celestia’s sun was starting to sink in the west, causing the sky to turn a mixture of all the colors of the spectrum. While the gorgeous sky was above had many admirers throughout Ponyville, there was one orange filly trotting home who paid no mind. It wasn’t that she did enjoy the beauty in nature. Far from it actually, she had just recently learned that she belonged in this town, where her family had been all this time. But that didn’t matter right now, instead she was on her way back to the family farm to continue her many chores. This was her life. Wa

With A Little Help From My Friends

With A Little Help From My Friends By Closer-To-The-Sun (Joseph Noblit) Intro: The school bell rang and many of the ponies within the schoolhouse rushed out. The fillies and colts hurried to meet with their parents or siblings waiting outside for them. Amongst those waiting outside was Big Mac, there to pick up his youngest sister, Applebloom, and her friends. The red stallion looked at the small ponies flooding out of the schoolhouse, but could not find the noticeable pink bow that Applebloom always would wear. His eyes did, however, spy her two friends. He trotted over to meet with them. “I’m tellin’ ya, Sweetie Belle,

A Jagged Goregous Winter

A Jagged Gorgeous Winter Written By Closer-To-The-Sun (Joseph Noblit) I was in the market when it all started. It was the evening before Hearth's Warming Eve and I managed to get to the market before it closed. I was there to pick up a few things, I can barely remember why now. Anyway, while I was trotting the aisles, it seemed as if I was being watched. This really isn’t anything all that new, being Ponyville’s very own local princess and all. But out of nowhere, I was lightly tapped on my back. “Excuse me?” a voice spoke out softly. Being lost in my own little world, I was suddenly brought back to reality by the c

Besides, shouldn’t we be out getting candy and stuff?” the white unicorn entered the room of the treehouse with her saddlebag bouncing against her back. The orange pegasus brushed it aside as she shined the flashlight on her friends, “Come on, we’re n

Digital Love Ch. 4

Digital Love Written By Closer-To-The-Sun (Joseph Noblit) Chapter 4: Teachers Twilight Sparkle opened her eyes. She lifted her head up off her pillow and yawned. She looked out the window to see that Celestia’s sun was high above the horizon. Turning to her clock, the alicorn noticed it was past ten in the morning. With a gasp and newfound energy, Twilight hopped out of her bed and quickly made her way downstairs to the main room of the library. As she descended the flight of stairs, she heard the sound of typing against a keyboard. Once down, the pony noticed that her dragon assistant was at the computer, typing away. “Spike,

The hard drive was standing tall next to the monitor. In front of the screen, the keyboard was hooked up, ready for the input of commands. The pony looked at the computer she finished putting together. The next logical step was for her to turn it on. However, she felt uneasy about doing so. A few moral questions were raised in her mind. “If I turn the computer on and activate the program….am I creating life? Some sort of artificial life?” she mumbled to herself

BronyCon 2015 Recap

0 min read

Well, since ~TheDragonWarlock (https://www.deviantart.com/thedragonwarlock) tagged me in his, I figured why not, I'll give my own recap post of BronyCon. It was my first East Coast convention and convention number 34 for me, and I must say it was pretty neat. I went over to mostly advertise Pacific PonyCon (check us out: http://pacificponycon.com/) to people, mostly to the vendors out there, but of course I was there to have fun. First, I'm not a fan of humidity. I enjoy desert heat. But Baltimore was not nice with it's weather. The upside was that there was no rain until Monday when I left. Second, I passed out all of my flyers to vendors and various people, and the response was
