Ask King Sombra – The Shot Seen Through the Galaxies
“Ask King Sombra” was drawn by Wiggles, a well-known entity in MLP fandom for her vivacious personality, lovely princess and LARP costumes, her guest of honor appearances at BronyCon and to me, most of all, for her kooky caricature of King Sombra, Kingsley.

Downvoting stories without reading them – quality control or prejudice?
