I like writing about the worst day of a character's life; it lets us see the mettle inside. (Pronouns: RB/20 )

    Some books I love

    I haven't produced much content lately. Just not feeling "pony." Been working on some space opera I might post to Royal Road or Amazon or something someday.

    In light of my recent lack of content, have some of my favorite books:

    Me: What did you learn in school today?

    Kid: We learned about "SPQR" in ancient Rome.

    Me: Romanes eunt domes!

    Wife: What?

    Me: Don't worry about it.

A small allusion · 8:48am Apr 25th, 2023

I made a subtle allusion in "Volunteer Day." Perhaps too subtle; I don't think anyone caught it.

Sweetie nodded nervously and fidgeted with her Firefly lunchbox.

I didn't do anything with that later, and most writers are aware of conservation of detail, yes?

...or did I do something with it?

Well, what are hospital volunteers like Sweetie?

I caught it. .... I just thought it was a cute reference.

Also, Firefly is G1 Rainbow Dash (eg. the G1 pony toy that Faust used for what we now know as G4 Rainbow Dash). Her signature double-inside-out loop is also, judging from the onlookers' heads, what RD put herself into the hospital trying to do back in Read It and Weep. Making G4 Firefly a historical personage and Mal expy is therefore obligatory.

I caught it, just thought it was too obvious to mention.

That's the way you do references, plausible deniability! Gusty the great from g1 is at least storybook canon.
