Friendship is Card Games: Trixie and the Razzle-Dazzle Ruse

We return to the pony novels this week, and hopefully a better showing from the titular mare. Last time we saw Trixie in one of these, G. M. Berrow was channeling the fandom circa 2011 and making her and Gilda the designated antagonists of the piece. Let’s see what she’s up to this time.

Friendship is Card Games: Kenbucky Roller Derby #2 & #3

We return to the cutthroat world of G5 roller derby, where Sunny’s trying her darndest to prove she’s more than just a casual skater… and has assembled one of the most ragtag teams of misfits this side of the Mighty Ducks in the process. Let’s see how the story’s developed from there.

No, not mine. The Barcast's. The last call is currently under way, and if you want to hear my part in the grand interview lightning round, you can tune in at 4:20 Eastern/1:20 Pacific (about an hour from this posting.)
Yes, 4:20 on 4/20. No, I do not partake. Sorry to disappoint.

Pest List

Just something I whipped together for fun one day, set to a possibly recognizable tune, all intended in good fun. And hey, given that I derived my Fimfic handle from a misremembered detail of the Mikado, it's only appropriate.

Friendship is Card Games: d20 Pony, Ch. 9, Pt. 1

Goodness, it’s been almost two years since I last checked in on Trailblazer’s adventures. IDW putting out comics almost as quickly as I could review them will do that, especially given all of the G5 video media coming out concurrently.

Midnight Realization · 1:51am Jul 19th, 2018

First, a bit of background: The Seer's Parables are set on the plane of Shadowmoor, which is basically a universe of especially grim fairy tales. Lorwyn is the sanitized Disney version. Shadowmoor is the one where even the good little boys and girls get eaten; it just happens to them slightly later.

In any case, I was rereading them just a bit ago when I was struck by something familiar:

Her wings,
Shimmering black,
Cast shadows across my eyes.
Her gown
Danced like leaves
Awash with wind.
Her haughty gaze
Struck me to my knees.
"Long have I waited
To impart my gifts
To one so curious,
So worthy."

Hmm...

Of course, given how this is a world where the night literally lasts forever, perhaps the more appropriate connection is to Nightmare Moon, but she's already doing work as the queen of the fae. Besides, Midnight equating curiosity with worth seems more thematically appropriate.
