No, this isn’t related to Chinese New Year, (though I did give some thought to that), the timing is just a result of my sloth-like work speed.
 
I was already planning on uploading the rest of the characters from my New Years pic by themselves, so why not make more of a spectacle of it? Now I just need to hope I was able to upload these all fast enough to not get interrupted by someone else uploading something in between these, otherwise that’s the end of this gimmick.
 
Yes, I know posting these like this has led to some silly things with the letters chopped up the way they are, everyone but Rarity and Sweetie Belle ended up with something amusing above their heads. I have made peace with this for now. I’m expecting “YE” and “EW” be the ones people find the most amusing, but we shall see.
