Alright Wafer, I hope you have a great time on your vacation!

Yesterday had lots of contemplation...
And watching another of Even's Hoofhunt events.
The random, cute picnic area in the pvp zone.
Nightstalker chasing a very well C A M O U F L A G E D Word...

Legends of Equestria Discussion / Equestrian Summerween 2018 - Friday the 22nd of June at 9pm Greenwich Mean Time

It was a dark and stormy night and Pumpkin had spent the evening in the Canterlot library.
Right before it closed and everypony was asked to leave, her eyes had caught the back of a book in the "Various Mysteries and Magical Anomalies" section, she had never seen before.
The cover adorned a single yellow triangle with an open, staring eye in the middle. Flipping it open revealed many cryptic pages, but also a chapter titled "Summerween", showing drawings of hollowed out melons with scary faces carved into them. Not much unlike Nightmare Night pumpkins.
Intrigued Pumpkin took the book home to her small attic apartment, where Holiday had already been waiting for her return.
They both started to study the Summerween chapter excitedly, luckily it seemed to have been written in actual Equestrian, while the rest of the book was cryptic gibberish.
They learned about a special holiday from a far away place...
A place on a different plane of existence, separated from Equestria by only the thinnest layer of ever changing, chaotic reality, that couldn't be breached or crossed by anypony, but the most versed in magical abilities... or beings entirely removed from the bounds of material existence.
The name of the place had a big red smudge on it though and only so much was readable.

Gravity Foals?
The holiday described in the mysterious book was called "Summerween" and very similar to Nightmare Night.
Apart from happening at the beginning of summer, using melons instead of pumpkins and the illustrations of the beings celebrating it looked oddly like shaved monkeys.
But all the other elements were there: Spooky stories, costumes and going around collecting candy.
Holiday and Pumpkin agreed that another spooky holiday in summer was a great idea and instantly started to make plans and preparations for Equestria's first ever...
Summerween
Everypony who watched Gravity Falls will know about the Summerween episode: http://gravityfalls.wikia.com/wiki/Summerween_(event)
And Holiday and I thought it would be a great idea to bring it to Equestria.
Because who doesn't like an excuse to have another spooky holiday, beside Nightmare Night.
So young and old, put on a costume and join us for some ghoulish fun at the Heartlands Cemetery!
In the spirit of Summerween there will be an organized candy hunt for foals in the heartlands.
1-2 groups of foals have to navigate the Heartlands (stay on the roaaads ) to find a number of spoooky candy givers, who will be at special, easy and mostly save to reach locations.
The goals for the foals will be to collect a combined total of five hundred (500) candy before returning to the cemetery, or the Summerween Trickster will appear and gobble them up!
And after all that spookiness there are rumors that the mysterious SHADOWBOLTS will make an appearance and present a stunning air show near the Heartlands Cemetery, bringing Summerween to an exciting conclusion!
(If you want to sign up for the Shadowbolts and be part of the airshow, you can do so and get infos in Even's thread over here: CLICK ME )
TIME OF THE EVENT: Friday 22nd of June, at 9 PM Greenwich Mean Time.
(Please check your local time yourself with the help of this link https://time.is/GMT )
Location: The Heartland Cementary
Leave Cantermore towards the Heartlands and the cementary will be direeectly on the right.
And some spooky ambiance music to put on in the background at the event (right click and select loop to... well, loop )

Thaaank you!
I am pretty satisfied with how she turned out and have also learned a thing or two about repainting blind bag/mini play set ponies in the process.

Thank you!
Aaand I finally finished pocket Pumpkin.
Twili for comparison.
And the pic below was right before applying the satin varnish.
Only ended up having a bit of a seam around her lower hooves, cause the extreme heat here has pretty much fused
the acrylic paint and blu tack, which held her on the little paint pot handle. Was a lot of fiddly work trying to fix that as best as possible. Luckily it's not too bad, but I would rather have had a completely smooth finish.

The veil between Equestria and it's surrounding, eldritch otherworld has been very thin today...
The V O I D tree...
Distant whispers from a graveyard bound to the material world.
Impossible alien landscapes...
...tearing away at the soft fabric of my sanity...

The other day I visited the mysterious floating trees at SAA.
Then enjoyed some quality time.
And tonight I (and later we) watched the first Hoofhunt, hosted by Even.

I am currently trying to muster up the courage to do the cutie mark. Even tho mine is really just kind of an orange blotch with some lines in and a bit of green on top.

Only the cutie mark left to do. (And fixing the bit of unpainted hooves, as well as a tiny speck of green on the right cheek. )
And as a tip: When painting yellow always prime that area with white first and expect a lot of yellow paint layers, until it looks right. Cause yellow is one of the worst covering paints and also the actual devil.
(Trashy nail polish bonus fingers... )

Just because I know how destructive negativity from even one person can be for creators, I want to say:
I am extremely thankful for LoE.
It's the one place where I can exist as my OC and meet others in a way that feels satisfactory as well as very authentic in the way of design and atmosphere.
My only regret is not coming here earlier, despite following the project on social media since it was announced back in the day.
The community around LoE is one of the most friendly and welcoming I have every experienced and thus is extremely precious to me.
I would never have met all of it's amazing ponies, as well as my special somepony, if it wasn't for the dev team investing years of hard work, free time and enthusiasm into LoE, making it the experience it is today. Giving us this world to exist, connect and have adventures in.
Sure, I will happily be playing new quests, explore new features and maybe even new areas at some point.
Always looking forward to something new and exciting in terms of game content.
But I don't think it will ever be the focus of the game for me personally. It's very much a social expierience and one of the best I had online in a very... veeery long time.
A reason why I personally can't get hung up on the engine side of things and what it might or might not be lacking in terms of mechanic and content.
(Most stuff I look forward to is more clothing, emotes, maybe placeable decorations, i.o. to enhance player held events even more. )
All the time and work the team puts into the game is very appreciated by a LOT of ponies.
So please don't let one, loud, toxic voice affect you too much.
There is a metric heck ton of ponies here, who all love LoE to bits, appreciate the work and understand the development process, sticking around despite bugs and technical problems that are part of it while LoE becomes even better with every update!

It's the first pony I repaint. I have been waaay too chicken to try before.
Now that I have a bit more time again I might actually make progress/ finish her soon.
Tho maybe not with the crazy temperatures here atm, my painting lamp already gets kinda warm just by itself.
Will see!

The trick with model acrylics is to apply multiple, thin layers with slightly watered down paint. It will reduce the visible brush strokes and give a more even finish.

Already knowing I wouldn't be able to make it to the Gala itself, I made sure I at least watched all the Wonderbolts Airshow practices.
Found a very scenic viewing spot for the first one.
At the second one with Scoots and her refreshing, youthful excitement.
A relaxing evening in the cottage my special somepony and other quality company.
And my possible outfit... had I actually been able to attend the Gala...

I am still so bummed out that I didn't get to go to the Gala, because of an important real life thing clashing with the date...
Especially because everything I have seen and heard about it so far is fantastic and I am glad the event went so well.
Everypony involved did a wonderful job and it seems like it was such a grand, special day for the community!

Legends of Equestria Discussion / Re: Next Pumpkin's Pumpkin Patch Pony Camp Out: Saturday, 16th of June at 7pm GMT

I have edited the start post with the date and time for the next camp out, which will be at:
Saturday, 16th of June at 7pm Greenwich Mean Time.
Check the time with your own here: https://time.is/GMT
I am also thinking of making the RP rules a bit less restrictive and rather than forcing ponies to be "in character" just doing away with the whole, rigid RP format.
So ponies can just be themselves, if they want and many rp almost fulltime anyway.
I think it might make for a more open experience and ponies who would normally just watch silently from afar might actually join and hang out.
And everypony can still emote and rp and contribute to the campfire atmosphere to their hearts content.
I will give that a go at the next campfire.
Modifying the start post accordingly...
