Man... just over 2 years since my last blog post -- and since that Aria/Rarity labor-of-love.

really brings a character mind?

I heard this in a mix earlier and my thoughts when straight to Aria. I think it kind fits the context of this story, even. It seems to evoke where Aria used to be, or perhaps to where she could have ended up, if something had taken a different turn along the narrative.

- and this is actually one of the higher ones.

I-it's not like she cares, or anything...

So it's been a while, hasn't it? I've been absent, but not completely idle.

And while I still don't foresee finishing Homesick, at least for a long while, I wanted to share this. It perfectly encapsulates Adagio's state of mind in the first chapter.

However -

I won't leave y'all totally hanging (those noble few who remain following me).

I noticed a few days ago that Boomerang started re-running some of the old Genndy-and-crew shows. Dexter's Lab, Foster's, etc. My first thought, of course, was something akin to, "nice." But then my eyes widened. Because this must mean...

oh.

shit.

...

That news I heard around the end of last year must be coming to a head. And now just last night, this drops:

Avatar change to celebrate.

Been typing back and forth a bit with DWK lately, and he might have talked me into going down there for one day (Friday). It's not for sure yet. Curious if any others here are planning to be en route as well.

And I may just have to dive into another Shakira binge, cuz oh my damn, that song...

And yanno, the lyrics actually work really well for 'past is not today' Sunset, or especially post-pendant Adagio, as I like to imagine (and write) her. And Shakira's hair in the vid here is treading dangerously close to 3d-poof territory.

I feel bad letting this story idle for so long, but the inspiration just isn't there right now for bridging from the previous chapter into my ideas for the final ~3 chapters. I know how I want it to end... it's just that middle part now for getting there.

And now with Blade & Soul just released...
Just, yeah.

(some of the aspects of this game give me such a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon vibe, in an MMO, kinda digging it)

And... with Sunset undoubtedly to be included—and Adagio already confirmed—the other pairing is also inevitable.

Rarity's hair tho. As top-heavy as it is, and as loose as the hip joints are on these, it really takes some work to get her to stand up, even with support. Cats and kids: please don't touch.

Coffee consumed
Kid gifts opened
(wife's and my own, as well - though significantly fewer than theirs, heh)

Now it's off to see Good Dinosaur.

Getting there with chapter 6, too. Been looking forward to this one.
