    State of the Unicorn: Poor

    That's poor in both senses, I'm afraid! Though before I say any more, I need to stress that I have a warm, safe home, enough to eat, internet access... the essentials, really. I am not in danger of losing those. However, I won't be doing much beyond those essentials for a while. Without going into boring details, I will very shortly be going in for dental work to be done. Which, as

    So then, Doctor Who

    Loved it! A few little quibbles, not all the acting from the newcomers was stellar and sadly parts of the gender-related stuff felt awkward and forced, eg "something a male-presenting Time Lord wouldn't understand", but I liked much more than I didn't. Plus one of my worries about the new Disney-cash-infused Who has been dispelled: this definitely did

    Bloody Covid

    Fortunately not in the literal sense! But yeah, I'm currently stuck at home, yet not feeling well enough to concentrate on ponyfic. It's a seriously annoying combination. :pinkiesick:

    UK PonyCon report

    This is inelegantly copy/pasted over from the (slightly) nicer looking report over on Louder Yay. Of course, I'm sure you all read Louder Yay anyway because you're such great people, but just in case here's the report here as well...

It was incredible. There's a story behind it... in 2013, the first MLP con I ever went to, BUCK, also had EileMonty as a guest. She sang "I am Octavia" -- my favourite of her songs -- and I missed it, because I was in a side room watching The Living Tombstone play obscure stuff I knew nothing about. So I thought I'd never hear her sing it live. Five years later, I got my chance. I don't mind saying I had tears in my eyes. It was a really special moment.

As it happens, a fellow attendee recorded it -- the con people are doing an official video, but they're always really slow. This one was taken from the midst of the crowd, so there's a lot of noise. I was up on a side balcony and the sound was much clearer, but I wasn't recording. Still. here we are:

Sweet! Let us all know when the official video is released, would you please? :pinkiehappy:

I'll try to! But don't hold your breath -- it took months last time.
