Try not to take me too seriously. I am an idiot with a shitty sense of humour.

    The politics of animal tropes

    I've just reread Rudyard Kipling's Rikki-Tikki-Tavi.

    Now, Lord, don't get me wrong. I LOVED that story as a kid. I was rooting for the plucky young mongoose all the way. I WAS the mongoose! I'd punch out asshole cobras in my sleep if I could. Reading it as an adult, however, lets a lot of really troubling implications come to light.

    Cum Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc

    Cum Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc


    When Event A occurs, Event B will also always occur, therefore Event A causes Event B.

    Argument from Antiquity and Appeal to Novelty

    Argument from Antiquity


    We have done A in the past, therefore we should always do A.




    Example A:
    Ida Praposar: I'm going to attempt to grow some genetically modified potatoes. They're cow-shaped when mature!
    Lojika McPhallussy: No one has ever attempted such a thing in the past. It's never going to work.

    Example B:

    Appeal to Authority

    Appeal to Authority

    Authority X believes in A, therefore A must be true.



    Example A:
    Ida Praposar: I'm going to take a flight across the ocean from California to China. I've always been a bit nervous of flying over large bodies of water, since I'm always afraid that the plane will fall in and I'll drown.

    Guilt by Association

    Guilt by Association

    Person X supports/does A and if you support/do A you're just like Person X, therefore you should not support/do A.


    Example A:
    Ida Praposar: I would like to enroll my son in a seminary.
    Lojika McPhallussy: Stalin attended a seminary as a child. Aren't you afraid your son will turn out like Stalin if he's put in one?

    Example B:

So this is a blog thingy? · 3:48am Aug 4th, 2012

Neat!

I guess right now I'm just procrastinating on working on chapter 9 of that dystopian sheep story. I have this idea for something really funny (or at least something I find really funny), but I'm not sure if the mood whiplash is appropriate. Is it too much to have someone emo-ing about infant mortality and then IMMEDIATELY switching to another character stealing a kiss (from some random guy we never expect to see again) and then running away like a fool?

Eh. When has whiplash ever stopped me before! :D

OH GOD, YOU BROKE IT.

THAT'S IT PEOPLE, PARTY'S OVER. GO HOME.

ALSO, A DYSTOPIAN SHEEP STORY SOUNDS AMAZING.

Glad you think so, lol. So far, most people just seem to be kind of annoyed that I'm portraying Equestria with so little optimism and exploring the HORRIBLE IMPLICATIONS of some of the stuff on the show, rather than just giving it the benefit of the doubt... or coming up with a non-horrible alternative.

Equestria is actually a fairly horrifying place if you think about it. I think that you're one of the few authors in the fandom that have managed to capture the lovecraftian vibes that the series has, especially with We.

On that note, I look forward to seeing what you write next, whatever it might be.

Oh lord. Sessalisk is learning how to fimfic.

Wait, wait, wait. What happens in chapter 9?! Haha.

You shall find out, young Mystic. You shall find out!

I am excreting various bodily fluids in anticipation.
