Tia is the Goddess of the Sun so it makes sense on the periodic table that she would be hydrogen, right? Keep burning brightly sun butt!

KLM Gets in on the Pony Fun!
by Calpain
After American Airlines responded to questions about trips to Equestria, KLM has responded in kind with their own little hint of pony. It's so fun to see the staff behind these accounts having a good time with it, just like when JetBlue started tweeting about ponies so long ago!
Find the original tweet below and thanks to Grand Moff Pony for sending it in!

Last month we spotlit a new project starting up that would support wild animals through proceeds generated by purchases of an artbook. Since then the project has really taken off and they are ready to start taking pre-orders!
Check on after the break for details on the project as well as where you can place your order!

Jake the Army Guy — This is one of those stories that starts off so benign, but quickly turns on you. The jarring scene shifts, at first annoying, become both horrifying and enthralling once you grasp the full context. The story of Lyra’s progression from curious filly to obsessed professor—disjointed as it is—is organic and realistic, and seeing her go all “Doctor Frankenstein” was a real treat. The ending is quite dark, but it perfectly fits with the overall tone. Speaking as a guy who generally hates tragic endings, this was beautifully grim. All in all, an expertly crafted thriller, one that really nails the spirit of this contest.

Description: All her life, Professor Lyra Heartstrings has passionately sought scientific proof for the existence of "human" beings, a technologically-advanced race of sentient creatures who theoretically ruled the world in a time before ponies. But now that Lyra stands upon the brink of Equestria's most important anthropological discovery, she's haunted with the gnawing thought that not all projects that begin should necessarily be finished. (This is an entry into Obselescence's The More Most Dangerous Game Contest, with the Prompt Being a Re-Interpretation of JasonTheHuman's classic fanfic, Anthropology.)

Comic: Marketing / Hi Korean 4 / TBOI 43 / Quest for Apple Bloom 8 / Breaking Traditions 2

We like to poke fun at marketing and such, but I really wonder what all goes into a product at a place like Hasbro from concept to creation.
