I figure I’ll do some popular sociology. I’ve reached the limit of what I can do at the present time, and I need to take a break from all the doomscrolling, because there’s only so much war crime bingo I can read before I go do something emotionally motivated and ultimately useless.
So I decided to trawl conversation logs for throwaway lines I spout on occasion. Because otherwise I’d forget them entirely, and some of them are actually good ideas. Granted, most of them are stupid puns… But I like puns, and I’m still not sure why you’re supposed to cringe at them.
I basically improvised most of this lecture from memory when talking with DannyJ yesterday, but then I thought, why not blog this, should at least be food for thought. It’s not directly pony-relevant, more like a general topic of discussion which one needs to meditate on when writing fantasy – but that includes ponyfic, so you might be interested.
Seeing as Horus was God of the Sky and of Rulership, perhaps Celestia was his understudy before her ascension? It'd fit with the sisters' Egyptian garb in the comic mirror AU...
Seeing how they’re so intent on jossing the entire storyline, I dunno. :) And considering how the wikiwalk started with remembering the Stargate TV series, I’d rather she wasn’t.
I mean, the visual cues for Goa’uld are glowing eyes and deep booming Royal Canterlot Voice, right?
Applejack has been around a long time, methinks.
