    State of the Writer, April 2024!

    It's another boring one! I ain't wrote nothin'! :B

    It actually feels lately like I've been crawling out of a pit? So maybe there's a light ahead? But it's also blocked by Balatro lol somepony save me D:

    The only other thing relevant to this blog is that I've had notes for a vs. post sitting in my notes document for probably the entire month now, what is wrong with me? D:

    Fic recs, April 22nd: Jordan179 edition

    Once again, though a good bit late, I bring it upon myself to memorialize an author via reviews of their stories. Though this time, it's different, as I had no connection to Jordan179 and only learned of his passing (three years ago this month, coincidentally), from this post

    Another post about video games and Youtube and stuff

    If I'm going to waste time watching shit on Youtube, the least I can do is tell people about it. :P

    Ceave is a crazy Austrian with a love of video games and a head for philosophizing about them. Plus he really, really hates coins, no matter how tasty they may look.

    Do you like video games? How about philosophy?

    I like one of those things for sure, but no one combines the two better than a Youtuber named InfernalRamblings, a former professional game developer who now creates hour and a half long video essays about the meanings of video games and how they relate to the world today. Here's a few highlights, since this is now basically my only

Did you guys see this? · 10:57pm Sep 1st, 2017

What the fuck is this?

Discuss!

(No fucking way Snips and Snails are in any class Celestia teaches. <.<)

Snails could have a good reason for be because the theory of him being capable of time speed magic, making the time slow around him because his natural talent could be he could see everything in slow-motion, while I'm surprised about Snips, and Dinky was there, and Celestia explaining about Pinkie Pie has her magic this would make a lot of sense.

But Snails uses the magic of... um...

...

Cool

Maybe it's a special charity class for Ponyville residents?

It kind of looks like an animation test - make something short to get used to your new tools, that sort of thing?

So this confirms that ponies can see magical auras, which means Twilight was pants-on-head retarded for not noticing that her beloved practically-a-sister Cadance had evil green hornglow during the wedding.

Or something to set up for the upcoming movie or something.

The classroom animation looks more movie-ish, I think. And it's obviously meant as, like, supplementary material. Kind of.

Actually, I'm not sure it's obviously anything. c.c wtf

Snips and Snails are clearly under royal supervision after the last time they nearly summoned Lavan the All-Smelter.

(It was actually Dinky. Only she and Celestia know.)

4655153
They summoned Dinky? Dayum, that's advanced mageworking there.

I love it, especially this late in the summer. Much better than the eqg things. It would actually get me to try out the show.

You mean you haven't seen the show yet? :O What are you doing here? :V

Oh my, a Celestial episode and trailer! Yay!!!!!

Looks like the B-team discovered the Find Edges filter in AE. A training exercise for new animators, or some guck from a disassociated marketing team maybe? Really, most of this is re-used clips with a filter slapped over them. Celestia's hinky walk across the classroom is a dead give-away.

So this confirms that ponies can see magical auras

That's not entirely new. "For once I wish that unicorn magic wasn't so luminescent" -- Rarity, "Gauntlet of Fire". However, I don't think we've had explicit confirmation that ponies can see the auras' colours, just that they can tell the difference between "on" and "off". That might be a way out of the Cadenza problem.

....Why are you on a horse site again?

On a side note, I'm really not liking how Celestia was animated. It kinda feels like a bunch of stock motions stitched together.

In today's video, Celestia mentioned "the signature color of our magical auras." So not only do ponies see the color of their auras, they serve as a signature -- i.e. an identifying attribute. Seems weird that the Element of Magic didn't notice Cady's magic changing color.

Ah. I hadn't seen the video (beyond a few seconds) at the time of writing. Yay, my headcanon gets destroyed almost instantly once again! :pinkiehappy: (And yeah, of course it's stupid to comment on this without having watched it properly. I do stupid things, quite frequently in fact. :P )

[If I hadn't already]. I'm just saying it's a good ad!

It is decidedly two minutes long. Other than that... dunno.

Yeah, I think that's exactly what it is.

All I know for sure is that Celestia picked Starlight for her example of dark magic, thus proving Starlight is evil. :V

I wouldn't put it past Chrysalis to use a subtle Jedi mind trick sort of thing regarding her aura.

There is no end to the incredible feats that you can achieve.

Like being magical unicorn lesbians. :starlightshiftright::trixieshiftleft:

Snips and Snails are there because their parents donated a metric ton of money.

This... was actually pretty cool. The animation was a tad rough, but for a short, it was pretty great, and had some cool bits of information. Also confirms that all magicians in Equestria are more Wizards than Sorcerers, if you get my meaning.
