If anyone wants to hate on me, just know that I've got Equestria's Grim Reaper on speed dial.

    Harmonia on Hold

    I've recently had a lot of fun writing Tales of Harmonia, but I'm gonna go on hiatus for a while. While I have the basic plot down, I still need to figure out where the protagonists are going to go and why. If anyone has some ideas, feel free to share them.

    Tarot Draw: Derpy Hooves

    Dang, it's been quite a while since I've done one of these. I figure it's about time I psychoanalyzed ponies again. Today I want to look at a fan favorite: Derpy Hooves.

    Tarot Draw: Neku Sakuraba

    Okay, screw it. As much as I love MLP, I don't want to just do ponies on this blog. There's tons of other franchises out there, and I want to branch out. Thanks to a new follower, I've got The World Ends With You (TWEWY) on the brain, so I want to do a drawing of the game's protagonist, Neku Sakuraba.

    Tarot Draw: Cruise Control

    I figured I should do an OC for my second reading. After all, some of the canon pony-Arcana matchups are so obvious that they wouldn't be very fun or interesting. (I'm looking at you, Rainbow Dash.) Besides, I think it'd be fun to take a closer look at the extended universe the fandom has created. So today, I'm drawing for...

Tarot Draw: Commander Firebrand · 8:19pm Feb 12th, 2016


Okay, starting off, I hope this isn't taboo or something. I mean, from what I've seen, Commander Firebrand isn't just some other persona for Joshscorcher (like Silver Quill is for...whoever does that show. I don't know; I don't read credits.). They're truly the same guy. So by doing a drawing on Firebrand, I'm effectively doing a personality analysis on a real person... Eh, I think I'm fine. Just, Josh, love what you do, big fan, please don't kill me for this.
So what can I glean about Firebrand just from watching all of his YouTube videos? Actually, quite a bit. (His Top Ten Personal Episodes list help.) Anyway, he seems very charismatic, even during his earlier videos. He's a jokester, and most of his jokes really hit their mark. If that was all I had to go on, this entry wouldn't be possible. Thankfully, he's brought up a lot of personal anecdotes on FOB Equestria. From what I can gather from those, he's pretty much the same guy during normal life. Frankly, he just seems like he'd be a nice guy to be around. I don't know, it's kinda hard to describe it.

What I can say for certain, after all my time as a fan, is that Firebrand represents the Star Arcana. Representatives of the Star Arcana are cheery people who just seem to spread joy to everyone around them (if we ignore the Persona 3 representative, Mamoru Hayaze. Sorry, I just don't see it.) From what I've seen, and from what he's said, Joshscorcher fits the bill to a T, not just on YouTube, but in his daily life.

Though he has a different way of going about it, this puts him in the same boat as Pinkie Pie. (I swear, no one gets her Arcana right, and it's so :yay:ing obvious!) While she's far more...bombastic than the Fiery Joker, her antics still manage to make everyone around her smile. By extension, this Arcana also fits the similar character Cheese Sandwich and, by extension again, Weird Al Yankovic (again, a real person). I find it interesting that each of these people fit the Star Arcana in their own unique way, probably making it the moist diverse Arcana of all.
That said, as far as truly representing every aspect of the Star Arcana, none of these ponies/people hold a candle to Teddie. What, you thought I forgot about him?
