    So THAT'S what Gravekeeper has been doing while I'm tortured by the lack of Ballad of Twilight Sparkle updates! Confound you Gravekeeper! Why you do this?

    Oh, because it's awesome... Please continue.

    And some Snails below, because he is under-represented.

    1. I always wondered what their bow strings were made off...

    2. Always the sensible down-to-earth earth pony who ends up getting hurt by the outlandish unicorn's behavior. But it wouldn't be funny if there wasn't that conflict. :D

    5. #1 was funny, saw it earlier.

      #2 made me Dawww a little, for whatever reason. Seriously, there really isn't much to Dawww at, but I did, albeit just a little.

    6. Both comics were adorable. Scratch's fanon personality is always spot on and we can never have enough of Octavia. :D

    8. #1 An Octavia comic? Uh-oh... lol Since when did Vinyl have a middle name anyway? lawl And dat ending... I'm scared to know where this is going... also, Vinyl's hair would make interesting blue bow strings...

      #2 D'awww, that was a cute comic. Little Snails. <3 Good little story in there too.

    9. #1: I don't know why, but I've never cared for Vinyltavia shipping. Comics like this one might change my mind, though. The characterizations fit in well with what little we've seen on the show, and the dialog is believable and entertaining. 'Jennifer', though? I would've guessed something more hippie-ish or new-agey, like 'Harmony' or 'Riversong'. And I want to learn how to throw bows through walls like Octavia does. ;)

      #2: I'm among the small group of bronies that loves Snails; this comic, apparently the first installment of a multi-parter, is a fine example of what can be done with him. The 'Snailmancer' story-within-a-story reads just like I'd expect an Equestrian kid's book to read, and the interaction between Snails and his mother is charming without lapsing into gooey sentimentality.

    10. D'aww they were both pretty heartwarming, especially when Scratch said Octavia was more important:

    11. Octavia and Scratch. Why are their encounters so dang entertaining?

      Also Octavia is deadly with those bows! The fan art of her dressed in the Assassin's uniform is now suddenly very fitting!

    12. 1. Yes, that's a win! I love these two's personalities.

      2. Cute story is cute.

    13. 1. Then Octavia and Vinly Scratch got over it by inviting Pinkie Pie to a Party.

      2. Snails grandfather. It all makes sense.

    14. I love the back and forth between Vinyl and Octavia (saucy ending aside).

      Vinyl in particular has the best fannon personality ever. So chill.
