who-what-when-where-and-why asked: Will the Dessert dogs try to get Zathir or just forget about him? Plus Awesome story by the way.
They’re long gone, as soon as Twilight were no longer under Zathir’s control. They were just too cowardly (Though who could really blame them) to try to help Zathir. They’d rather go back to the lives they had before which is pretty much similar to what the Diamond Dogs do then face the consequences of being on the losing side facing a Genie.
askdooddale asked: Just wanted to say I Loved the Story! Do you have any more like this in the works were its just text, or are you going to stick to picture story telling like before?
I’m going back to Sprite Comic Posts next with the Season 5 episode responses.
And considering the good reception I got, I may have more text stuff in the future (But maybe some room for me being able to add some images to it still). Because there are things in Return to Saddle Arabia I do plan on following up on. (If you read carefully enough, you may just notice what things I’m exactly talking about)
Though most of it is planned for after Season 5 finishes so it will be a while til’ then. (Unless of course something comes up in Season 5 that somehow gives me the opportunity to follow up on something even if it’s minor. Like if say one of the places the Ponies visit during the Season just happens to be Saddle Arabia)
ember-spark asked: Do I get credit for helping? :U
Of course. I do want to thank a few friends for helping out. Including Sal/Ember Spark here and Felix who were my editors/proofreaders.
As well as of course for Navitas for not just providing the images he did make even if we had to mutually agree to end those mid-way. If it weren’t for him I would of never made the story public and he helped in quite a few other ways. (Such as character names, filling in parts of the story I never would of thought of otherwise, etc.)
So thanks to all of my friends who helped out dearly with the Story. ^^
Well everybody, Return to Saddle Arabia has finished. I hope a good majority if you enjoyed the story. The making of this story was a long time coming, some of the concepts borrowed from ideas I had from as far back as some months before I even started I Dream of Twilight Sparkle.
In celebration of the end of the story I will be holding a Post-RTSA TMI Thursday over on my Mod Blog if you have any questions or comments about the story. (Though don’t worry, I’ll still answer questions after today if there’s any I can’t get to today. So just think of the story as something you can freely message me about over on my mod blog. I’d be happy to talk about it)
Before I head onto that though. I want to show a little something: What Spike will look like from now on when the Sprited comics return.
There he is with the scar on his right eye with the scarred eye made purple due to the bat venom as well as the Dragon Tear that he used to ultimately save the day as well as made into a necklace by Twilight that Spike will be carrying around his neck from now on. As well as one sprite of Spike with his Eyes closed just to show the exact shape of Spike’s scar.
I Dream of Twilight Sparkle’s Spike will now have something to tell him apart from any other Spike’s. So if there’s anybody in the future who wishes to create fanart for this blog that includes Spike in it somewhere. Consider this your reference sheet. Because of course as of the end of this story and for as long as this blog still goes. This is Spike’s new appearance in-blog.
I may take at least a one week break before finally starting up the Episode responses again. I’ll do my best to catch up to where it’s at. Luckily not too many episodes of Season 5 have aired so I don’t think it will take that long to get the short responses going again. And I’m excited to be doing that again,
Thank you everybody for being so kind as well as everybody that was invested enough in the story to comment along with the story and/or talk with me about it ^^
Anonymous asked: Wow... talk about getting rekt, Zathir must feel like he got hit by a speeding truck with rocket boosters right about now, eh?
Hehe, yep he sure got huge punishment for what he did.
Not just physically, but mentally when he’s serving his life sentence in Prison. :)
ember-spark asked: Poor Spike though. He's just a baby. :(
True, true.
But I promise he won’t be too shaken from the event. Just the fact that his efforts saved Twilight and the others will help him immensely :)
piratedashmodsaid: The fuck?
Heh heh, I know that probably sounds really awkward out of context since you haven’t quite gotten to read it, Teej. But yeah. Spike was stabbed in the eye by the villain in this story. Don’t worry, the latest updates confirm he’s still alive. ^^’
I wouldn’t kill off Spike :)
Anonymous asked: On a scale of 1 to 100, how stupid a move do you think Zathir stabbing Spike was?
101 out of 100
;)
Anonymous asked: If I were there, I'd say something to Zathir not TOO similar to what Walter said to an invading vampire in Hellsing Ultimate.
I’m afraid I’ve never seen that show, so the reference is kind of lost on me ^^’
