Got a birthday gift for wonderful rayadoriio.carrd.co as a ty for all the things we've done together over the years We don't talk much these days, but still thought it would be a nice gesture They helped me refine the early Owl and pony Comet designs, and are just a great pony in general ^^

meanwhile this was legroom I got on the recent bus trip probably could've been better, but it was alright

so you're saying that the cloven hooves like these are technically incorrect?

I also kinda wonder if these would count as the parts of the con stash, as we got them after the convention when exploring the Wilhelma Zoo and the Stuttgart TV tower after the con

con stash! decided to go more on art than on physical merch this time, but it still ended up being plenty all credits below 🧵 Thank you everypony for making this convention an unforgettable experience, one night even say once-in-a-lifetime one, considering how I got to meet Lauren Faust in pony 🤭

Welcome to Przemysl, that we pass through as our last town before the border. Wish us luck!

Comet Burst / Cosmic System @cosmicsystem.dev · 09/09/2026

Good morning from somewhere in rural Poland! We still have about 1.5 hours until the border, and I don't think I slept too great today. Oh well, here's hoping that the border goes quickly

Comet Burst / Cosmic System @cosmicsystem.dev · 08/09/2026

as for something beautiful it'd probably have to be the amount of bronies that gathered at Galacon this weekend. it was truly special

Zwickau, 20 minutes late, 20.40 departure Chemnitz is next!

Comet Burst / Cosmic System @cosmicsystem.dev · 08/09/2026

departure from Munich 1 Minute early, at 13.49 Though it seems that we've arrived early, as we were supposed to go at 13.40, according to the drivers

Comet Burst / Cosmic System @cosmicsystem.dev · 04/09/2026

The bus actually arrived only an hour and fifteen minutes late, at 21.40. Now, off to bed, as Galacon is tomorrow. Have a magical night out there everypony!

Comet Burst / Cosmic System @cosmicsystem.dev · 04/09/2026

departure from Augsburg is at 20.03, so about 2.5 hours late bus driver just said that we'll be in Stuttgart in about 01:45, but we'll see how it'll go

010

Comet Burst / Cosmic System @cosmicsystem.dev · 04/09/2026

this is literally me looking at the windscreen now as i arrive at Galacon

130

Comet Burst / Cosmic System @cosmicsystem.dev · 04/09/2026

departed Munich at 19.05, they say that Augsburg will be in 40-45 minutes. have a feeling that our delay might shrink from 3 hours to 2 if this continues like this but... we'll see in the end

010

Comet Burst / Cosmic System @cosmicsystem.dev · 04/09/2026

18.04, Ingolstadt done just a quick stop this time, now dashing to Munich

stopped at the gas station for a quick coffee break that somehow I didn't get any photos of. the landscapes are gawrgeous (c) though

Comet Burst / Cosmic System @cosmicsystem.dev · 04/09/2026

Good morning and welcome to the Czech Republic! seems like I've slept through pretty much the entirety of Poland, and woke up just as we've entered the Czech Republic, now beelining through Prague. It certainly was a better experience than last night, though still not great. More on that later

010

Comet Burst / Cosmic System @cosmicsystem.dev · 03/09/2026

departure from border 01:03am, arriving into Kraków Airport in about 2.5 hours, so we're effectively going to be about an hour late for now. We'll see how that'll play out for now, time for a nap have a magical night out there everypony

Comet Burst / Cosmic System @cosmicsystem.dev · 03/09/2026

more terminal pictures in Lviv the terminal is great, too bad that we're here only for half hour toilets are gendered though

010

Comet Burst / Cosmic System @cosmicsystem.dev · 03/09/2026

leaving Lviv and the last klr terminal for today at 19.24, 24 minutes behind schedule. the billboards at the terminal said that the departure should be 19.30 according to schedule, while my ticket said 19.00 fun stuff

010

Comet Burst / Cosmic System @cosmicsystem.dev · 03/09/2026

seems like we pick up our first delays departure from Ternopil 26 minutes late, at 4.26pm this is going to be fun

Comet Burst / Cosmic System @cosmicsystem.dev · 03/09/2026

Departure from Khmelnytskyi is 7 minutes late, at 14:06 Here we go!

010

Comet Burst / Cosmic System @cosmicsystem.dev · 03/09/2026

Vinnytsia, still departed on time at 11.10. Next stop is Khmelnitsky KLR terminal in about three hours time, with a change of buses and, hopefully, a little more than a snack

010

Comet Burst / Cosmic System @cosmicsystem.dev · 03/09/2026

and some photos of the forests and national parks near Uman. Although it's probably been over a decade since I've been there, with the field trip being even before COVID, passing through here made me wanna do it all over again

010

Comet Burst / Cosmic System @cosmicsystem.dev · 03/09/2026

welp, that's Kryvyi Rih and the first opportunity to stretch our legs for a bit... arrival 30 minutes before departure at 1.56, with an announced stop of 15 minutes, while the og schedule said that this departure will be a 2.30 one this just got interesting

Comet Burst / Cosmic System @cosmicsystem.dev · 02/09/2026

Departure from the Dnipro Main Bus Station is 19 minutes late, at 12.09am, after an hour long boarding process. Los geht's!

120

Comet Burst / Cosmic System @cosmicsystem.dev · 02/09/2026

seems like our bus has arrived a little earlier than expected 🤭 waiting in line to board is so painful p. s. 25c for the bus station info desk services feels like a scam lol

010

Comet Burst / Cosmic System @cosmicsystem.dev · 02/09/2026

a little too quiet at this hour, isn't it? maybe even eerily so an hour until our bus departs though, so still plenty of time until #galacon26

010

Comet Burst / Cosmic System @cosmicsystem.dev · 02/09/2026

Looks like this piece by @nnaly.bsky.social of Comet doing a train ride to GalaCon will probably still remain a pipe dream this year. Here's hoping next year will be different

Comet Burst / Cosmic System @cosmicsystem.dev · 02/09/2026

It's not really a pleasant space to be in, as the ground floor can get pretty crowded with the ticket office queues, and the surroundings are filled with some shops and street food places of various levels of shadiness, but it does the job of a bus transport hub.

The Dnipro bus station is where we're going to be heading today instead of the train station, it seems. It's only a couple of minutes' walk away from the train station, and has good tram and bus connections though, so it's relatively easy to get to.
