I don't have a muse, I have a mule. Early-onset arthritis in both thumbs inspired the handle. If you like pencil art, czech out my DeviantArt page. http://wisdom-thumbs.deviantart.com/

    Going strong, FIMfiction.

    It's strange, but I've been active/semi-active on this site for over eleven years. That's twice as long as I puttered about on Fanfiction.net, where this username/gamertag evolved from a pompous mouthful that included the words "Great" and "of." :trixieshiftright: It's even stranger to think that I've been reading and writing fanfiction for eighteen years, starting on sites like Gametalk. I

    Requesting a proofreader, & "The Last Duel"

    I'm writing a short story collection that bridges MLP:FiM and DnD lore. It's surprisingly simple in concept, but broad in scope, because it's a total rewrite of Swordpony. The most important changes:Spike's egg is the focus, and Grogar is the villain, not some unnamed deer god of death. I daresay you'll find it fits DnD mythos to a tee, to the point that you might question: Did

    New Generation is surprisingly good

    When a Netflix movie about my little ponies has more nuance and insight than most of Earth's professional journalists... Maybe that's not saying much, but it does give a little hope. I especially liked the interplay between g4 lore and g5 lore. That's good mystery.

    In Pursuit

    That's the title.

    A short series of chapters featuring Zephyr Breeze's rise from ignominy to physical fitness, a place in the Wonderbolts, his fall from grace, and then his pursuit of wing and wind sciences as RD's attache/fiance.

    Someone chose not to write this. Are you thankful, or forlorn?

    Crafty's Footwork

    Horses are not naturally left-footed or right-footed. One front foot must land before the other, and horses choose which foot comes first. The faster a horse moves, the easier they can change leads. It's a little counter-intuitive, and hard to recognize in videos. They naturally have four movement speeds, called "gaits." Many so-called experts mistakenly call these *three gaits.*

And now my watch begins · 3:25am Oct 17th, 2019

Haven't watched a single bit of MLP since Jimmy died. MLP was the last truly, unabashedly positive thing that we shared. He loved Spike and Pinkie Pie, and often joked that Pinkie was just leasing the Fourth Wall from Spike.

(well, I say "joking," but we all know it's true)

But I watched the final song, so... In for a penny, in for a pound. Time to rewatch the whole thing, and finally watch those seasons I've been avoiding.

So glad Netflix has eight seasons available. Gotta thank my sister for paying for Netflix...

Have a few blasts from the past:

Yeah, that final song deserves some context. I won't have any time soon for a rewatch. If you ever feel like sharing anything that comes to mind when rewatching the old, the really old, and the new, I hope you'll post here.

So much horse in that link. And yeah, that final song brought me to tears. The way it combined with the animation was flawless. That final episode was the perfect send-off Pony needed.

Glad to hear you're still around.
