Don't worry, Princess Twilight. When Gallus said the kingdom was in good paws, he meant it! Everything he steps on is magically protected, as good cartoons should be. We're in good paws!
According to my calculations, Gallus is nearly 2 miles tall (when standing on his hind legs).
__________
Ever since Gallus became a Royal Guard, he's been hungry for power ... to protect and serve! However, when your friends are tinier than ants, you have to get creative if you want to have fun with them. What better way to show his power to protect -- than to hold Canterlot between his toes!
So, Gallus, how did you get so big? Discord swears he had nothing to do with this (nor has he been interested in attempting such a big feat). As part of his duties, Gallus has been around Grogar's bell, along with the artifacts Cozy Glow once used to siphon Equestria's magic. He also found a mysterious device that was left in pieces on the ground ... later identified as Sci-Twi's magic-sucking device.
Gallus swears he can't explain what happened. It's like he got overwhelmed with the magic of friendship! Could it be ... that the Tree of Harmony herself is trolling with us?
__________
Visual Description:
Gallus the gryphon sits proudly on the landscape. To him, the big pointy hills are like big bumps on the ground. The viewer gets a great big view of his left foot, which itself towers above the landscape!
Between his toes, Gallus holds the entire city of Canterlot. Compared with his toes, Canterlot is like a little pebble! The houses are like grains of sand. Even his claws are bigger than houses! (Two stray pieces of city are also caught between his toes.)
The way Canterlot hangs from his toes, it looks as if it could fall any moment. In the far distance, however, Gallus gives a warm and playful smile. His head is so far away that it's a little hazy! Given that he's a character we know and love, his face seems warm and reassuring.
Gallus is mostly out of uniform, but he's still wearing his golden breastplate, which has a blue star in the middle. Little clouds float around him. Below his toes, a hot-air balloon floats in front of him. In the upper right panel, we see who's in the balloon: Twilight Sparkle and Discord! Twilight screams in fear or distress. Discord laughs!
(In the very far distance, one of Gallus's shoes sits on the ground.)

I'm so glad to see you still sharing love for gallus, my friend. I've had the chance to read over a number of stories with him and, with each one, I find myself liking him more-and-more.
***
I do like how you use Macro to show the feelings of your characters. Size seems to be the way in which one can have power, confidence, and struggles.
You are, in all my years on FA, the only person who has ever made me find enjoyment and meaning in Macro. So I thank you for bringing that to me. :)

It's occurred to me, Gallus has probably felt small all his life. He's an orphan who was constantly belittled by his caretaker. And he had no friends. He knew Gabby, but he wasn't connecting with her. Maybe she was too blissfully ignorant to see how troubled he was. Does this sum up how you relate to Gallus?
I'm amazed at how I've made Macro relatable for you. I guess you'd never encountered power fantasies that have mainly to do with feeling in control of one's own life, while not feeling excessively cruel.

That's quite a solid reason for my liking of Gallus. I've never been able to be 'snarky' about anything. However his griffon pessamism towards everything is quite in relation to how I felt throughout my twenties. It was during this time that a lot of my hopes and dreams were quashed by the reality of how our society views individuals with physical and/or psychological limitations.
I, personally, see gallus as being one who, despite not really being able to connect with Gabby, does have a desire to see how she can be like she is despite the cruel world he, along with other griffons, live in. The way he talks maintains the griffon way of being unfriendly / on guard while having just a hint of, "Please prove me wrong.".
The Hearth's Warming Club was a great episode in how Gallus showed a lot of griffony greed by sabotaging the rest of 'The Student Six' from leaving for the holiday. I doubt he intended to ruin things for those he knew had happy things to look forward to. However it was all handled well by everyone and, if I do say so myself, got Gallus to really start moving more towards Gabby's feelings on life than those he had been infected with by Grandpa Gruff and others. (I still will hold that Gilda could have been an early Gallus if not for how she was corrupted upon returning to Griffonstone after 'Junior Speedsters'. It just did not seem like a lot of follow-up was done with Gilda after 'Junior Speedsters' and, well, this makes for a dangerous dichotomy of super happy and fun in one place while being miserable and made miserable in another. Typically, as a self defense, one will move more towards the negative as to not let their guard down, or ever give the negative forces anything to use against them.)
***
Diapers, to me, are what give me power. Though it is because I am treated very much like a helpless child IRL due to how people have no idea that a blind person can, with the right tools, thrive in a sighted world without eyesight.
Given all the teasing, ridicule, etc. in my life, the last thing I feel comfortable in being is seen. The more who seem to see me, without a controlled environment, the more vulnerable I feel as, for example, my white cane comes off more as a weapon and my Seeing Eye Dog, due to small sidewalks, gives off a "I own the road" when, in truth, if people would just let me know they were around, I could adjust and all would be fine.
So, for me, being in my 'little world' and doing my 'little things' grants me a feeling of control over how RL treats me.
Perhaps, one day, I'll feel more like Gallus does in this picture? God intends us to continually learn through challenging ourselves with various trials and tests of faith. Maybe, as I move onward and am further tested, I will feel more like Macro, less like diapers, and be noticeable in ways that feel more like I'm being a positive advocate instead of a social inconvenience. :)

The evidence suggests that Twilight was just testing Gallus. Here are the key words from the transcript:
Gallus: ... I'm sorry. ... You won't have to tell our teachers. I will.
Twilight Sparkle: You don't have to. We already know.
Rainbow Dash: We kinda guessed it was you. But we wanted to give you the chance to tell the truth.
Unfortunately, that moment is so brief it is easy to miss. Children might be left, instead, with a poor message about how justice works.
If Twilight were to detain the students against their will, it would be a diplomatic disaster. It would come across as a hostage situation.
Neighsay was not entirely wrong about the school being a disaster. But he was a total hypocrite about causing an international disaster. Therefore, we hate to admit our heroes’ own dangerous mistakes.

Oh, I definitely caught that part in my first watching of the episode. However, it took further watches to truly see that Gallus was an orphan and how much his friends pushing the blame on each other and arguing upset him. (Gallus' voice can make those who read 'inflection' feel he is eternally snarky and, as griffons have been largely portrayed as terrible creatures who care nothing for feelings, one could easily forget how Gallus is at the 'School Of Friendship' for a reason and that reason is that, at this time in his life, he is still open to seeing life like Gabby does. Perhaps not as extreme with the 'Griffony Sunshine', but definitely a young teenager who is capable of moving beyond the unfriendly nature griffons have adopted and enforcecd in their holidays.)

I'm glad I am getting to talk to you again. I never quite realized how toxic my life had become until I left to visit my family for the holidays. My son is with his mom / the ex-wife. However I have really felt a lot better being around 'family' and 'support' while being over 100 miles away from any stress. I know that, when I return in about a week, I will feel recharged and not allow depression to prevent me from keeping up with you and our pals. :)

Weirdly enough, ponies have long had peaceful relations with gryphons. Gryphons have long been freely accepted into Equestria, and it seems ponies have been able to go to Griffonstone without much problem.
It seems that most gryphons have been uncaring without much active cruelty. Mainly, they've liked to keep to themselves and stay out of trouble. Any gryphons who are friendly would have to be reserved in an environment that doesn't like when people get very friendly.
I'm developing a fan fiction meant to be a logical sequel to the "Season 10" comics. In that work, it is revealed that a notable number of dragons were friendly all along -- to other dragons, at least. But many of them left the Dragonlands long ago. This helps explain the number of dragons living around Equestria -- and why those dragons are not usually much of a problem.
Because most of them feel rejected by both ponies and other dragons, their lonely anger sometimes flares up. Especially when they feel that someone is invading their space. This turns out to be the case for those two dragons in Season 1.

Oh! You are referring to the Red Dragon in 'Dragonshy' and the 'Green Dragon' from 'Owls Well That Ends Well', correct?
You make a more valid point on the griffons. It is more notable when you consider, if I remember correctly, how ponies negotiated a truce with the griffons in 'The Journal Of The Two Sisters'. There is also how Gilda freely flew in to see Rainbow Dash in 'Griffon The Brush Off' without causing trouble nor scaring any ponies to where The Wonderboltsand/or The Royal Guard had to get involved

Right, I was referring to those two dragons.
In my fan fiction, many foreign creatures have started to attend the School of Friendship. The students are divided up into different camps -- each standing for a different Element. They are being trained in the hopes that they can wield the Elements for themselves.
Each of the Student 6 -- along with each of 6 Cutie Mark Crusaders -- is assigned to teach a different camp. Gallus and Gabby are assigned to teach Generosity. Unfortunately, Gallus cannot remember a time that he truly enjoyed sharing! But now that a little homesick lovebird is attached to him, he doesn't want to let his new fan down.
(The 6 Crusaders are Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Babs Seed, Gabby, and Rumble. I made sure to squeeze in one boy.)

I must admit I'm partial to Gallus and Gabby. They definitely would work off each other well given how Gabby is 'Griffony Sunshine' while Gallus, not as corrupted by griffon culture as Gilda, would better show how each student could be their own 'sunshine' without feeling a need to be super happy like Gabby.

Nice choice in Rumble being a part of 'The Crusader Six'. He is justified through an episode in, I think, Season 7 called 'Marks In Recreation'. Given the lesson his big brother, Thunderlane, teaches him, I would imagine he would serve well as a colt role model in Camp Crusader.

Are you still working on 'Starponys'? Or are you taking a break from it to gain experience and inspiration from your fan work?

*Phew* I was worried that something happened to cause you to put the work on 'Hiatus'. There was also the thought that, given the FiM Fiction you have been doing, how you may be trying to build a reputation as a writer to help build an audience for 'Starponys'.

As we enter 2022, I was wondering if we could finish 'Tales of Haposauria'? I allowed depression, which I only realized I have had for months upon coming to my hometown for the holidays, prevent me from doing that which I love to do. I'm getting additional therapy to help me better ensure my techniques and methods to be positive without opening myself to unseen problems.

Here is my current profile of Nightlight: https://www.patreon.com/posts/60419550.
As for me, I've been doing self-therapy, recognizing that if there are any answers, then they're within me (with guidance from the Bible).

You have really added more depth to Nightlight's series opener. Her journey to Friendsville now being part of a 'School Assignment' / 'Internship' / 'Learning Abroad' adventure that has our protagonist put into a place that can very heavily cause her to feel overwhelmed and/or overstimulated.
What I am liking is the focus on understanding Autism / Spectrum disorder. Adventures and morals are there, but you are helping to gently introduce people to what it is like to be 'On The Spectrum' with stories that illustrate how, from what I have been able to gleam of your work, illustrate that there is no 'Textbook Definition' / 'Rules' for how those impacted by Autism should be universally treated and/or labelled.
The 'Macro Magic' and 'Self Destruction' that Nightlight does works well as a way for those who are not versed in what being Autistic brings you to feel and/or do as a result of conditions that a "Normal Person" would find as nothing more than immaturity, and/or a host of many other ill-conceived notions of what is to be expected of those on The Spectrum.

I spent some time over Christmas and new Year's pondering upon my relationship with God and how God goes about testing my worth as his servant. It is difficult to know if I am doing what he has brought me to this world to do as of late. However, I have faith that, as with other challenges, I will either figure out what it is I am to learn, do, and/or change to further my obligations to him during my mortal life.

Quick question. Do you think we can finish up 'Tales of haposauria' this year?

Given how I am really aiming to get away from a ton of negative energy this year, please let me know when you are ready to start and we can go through the '13 Stories' you feel would compile well into a single book of stories. (I am still having a hard time working on my own content due to emotional hurdles I need to clear after all that has recently transpired.)

How would you say your fan fiction MLP has been going? Does it appear more people are taking interest in 'Starponys' and how it takes elements of a respected show to positively educate people on the truths about Autism while adding in faith-based elements to help bring readers to open their hearts to God?

I confess, I've done hardly anything with the Haposaurs in the months since we last brought up the subject. (I was busy developing my own work and continuing to battle religious anxiety.) Until now, you didn't seem to be in any hurry. But now I'll be doing a little at a time every day.
(More and more, I tell myself, the more I learn to love others as myself, the more that the other details will take care of themselves. As long as I'm growing, I can be sure I am faithful. In addition, I have started to believe that the condemned are ultimately eliminated altogether, following a painful judgment ending in a second death. This is the impression that the Old Testament gives, and we should not expect God to bring up an eternal torture chamber that he never described for 4000 years.)

*Blush* I was definitely interested in continuing with our shared effort to give the Haposaurs a proper story collection / 13 episodes. The trouble is that I had a lot of trials to get through and, as has been my weakness, I got so caught up in being a 'problem solver' that I failed to see myself slip into depression... again. :(

God has done well in showing me how one is never done learning from the world he has placed us in. He also provides many opportunities to move towards better outcomes. The trick, for me, is recognizing when I am not moving in the direction of growth. 2021 can, largely, be seen as 'Staying The Course' and 'Slipping off the side of the road'. I can see points that God opened an 'off-ramp' for me, but I kept getting back on that 'highway to nowhere'.
Knowing how I need to make sure I don't solely focus on preventing, engaging, and moving past conflicts will make me able to be better at God's work in 2022. This includes our shared effort and me being in more in touch regarding 'Starponys'. (I am a Spike and, to me, to be Spike is to not allow myself to get lost when there are others who could benefit from my assistance and friendship.).
***
Those without faith, in my opinion, seem to have a living nightmare ever looming over them. This is 'fear of mortality'.
Lots of people who do not open themselves up to God and his son have notable concern about when and how they will die. I, personally, have found embracing God and Jesus Christ to remove that fear of mortality. God will have me when he deems it my time. I shall then be judged based on how well I performed that which I was meant to complete during my mortal life.
***
I've come across more 'believers' as of recent. Primarily those who are not seeming as if they are trying to buy their 'Stairway To heaven'. It has been nice hearing of how different people have been touched by God and why they know that life is far more than what societal standards make it appear to be. (I'd go as far as say Satan is the one who works to maintain 'Status Quo' through the spread of misinformation while allowing 'The Seven sins' to take those who are willing to indulge in them. God gave humanity 'free will' and, as such, cannot be blamed for those who put themselves and their ideals ahead of others.).

Got it! I look forward to giving it a read either tonight, or tomorrow morning. :)
Upon revisiting the story and its characters, how do you feel about 'Tales of Haposauria'?
***
Soon, based on if I get a job in the near future, I look forward to more regularly reading your work and the works of others. (Kind of being teased about one job that I 'was' offered, but they need to make sure my Seeing Eye Dog would not cause health concerns. Another job is still in Round 1 of its interviewing process, and I have a phone interview for a Civil Service position on Tuesday.).
If nothing works out, I have FINALLY gotten unemployment to work and should start getting it by the end of the month. *Phew*
(I suppose the short response here is that I should be able to pay you more starting in February based upon your interest and how far my prior $75 goes.).
