Why I have not done an EQG story yet?

I barely have the time and energy to dedicate to the ones I have now. You would think that an unemployed bookworm that lives with his dad in his childhood home would basically have all the time in the world.

But between maintaining a job, loosing a job, constant job searching, psychological treatment, chores, and budget repairs of minor damages done throughout the house by Hurricane Maria and then the Earthquakes. And my own fledgling mental instability, that and my bouts of depression and self loathing. Self-loathing that is due to my fall from grace from being a bullied genius with no social life that was at the top of his grades and got out of High School in 2008 at 16. To becoming a 27 year old recently made University Dropout with two incomplete degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Busyness with ADHD, Asperger Syndrome, (These two are why I didn't have a social life I sacrificed it for academic success. ) and Depression with Anger Issues. (The later two being caused by the first two.)

Overall I may be a know it all walking library of random scientific, occult, and historical facts but that did jack shit for me in life, and alienated me from everyone.

Doesn't help that I once lost my mind tried to Join the Army in a "Die with some Dignity" bout of insanity in my own mind as a way to seek death that no one would consider me pathetic for having. And they rejected me for my mental issues and asthmatic medical history, and also because I was 15 pounds above what Boot Camp could handle.

I basically worked at Gas Stations, Call Centers, and Auto Part Stores. I have applied to McDonald's and other assorted fast food restaurants before but father advised against taking the job mainly because he is worried that I might snap and murder a customer or one fo my coworkers by dunking their heads in the Deep Fryer. I am very intolerant of slights at my competence, and intelligence, and my geekness, and get School flash backs. Kind of shows how terrible of a person I am.

The only indication otherwise is my community service and my time with the Boy Scouts of America, and reaching Eagle, but the problem is that can just be seen as me trying to look good and atone for my shitty behavior.

-But enough about me.-

The other reason is because my EQG serious story called "Malignancy". It is a bleak Dark Horror/Adventure involving a cursed Sunset Shimmer dealing with a worse version of Anon-a-Miss and her own demons. And a 40 year old Occultist CIA Officer that drafts her in to hunt-down a Witch that is bringing an Alien God to feast on our world, and is responsible for the reality bending curse that brought the circumstances that pushed Sunset Shimmer to the edge of suicide. The witch's name? Sunset Shimmer from Earth. That takes a lot of time to get right in concept and execution and all I have so far are notes and a story direction.

The other other reason is that my most resent EQG idea is both anime and movie inspired. Being a three way between JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 4, Beelzebub, and the movie The Warriors. .

"Bloody Bones and Lilac Smells"

It is lighter but also well, two neglected teenagers fighting criminals and then a cult to find the parent of one of them.

They behave a little bit like young adults mostly because they are getting close to 18, and being the neglected children of successful people, one having fear of what she can do to others, and another causing fear and isolation to himself due to anger and inability to ignore when someone needs help or someone is doing something particularly despicable.

In the end I intend to take the fairly cliche premise and go into depth on how that sort of scenario can damage kids that at first glance seem to have nothing but success waiting for them, but in reality the world twists them into something they themselves hate a bit.

Fleur de Lis is a sadist that enjoys causing pain but is also more than empathetic enough to see that she can potentially hurt or even kill an innocent person and it frightens her.

Folklore here is a hyper-aware genius with an intolerance to the lies and the general little evils that society makes to keep running. This turns him into an angry, self isolating, and constantly sad person that has no friends. He is very capable of noticing who is a decent person and who is just a hypocrite wearing a mask to fit in. He himself is labeled a delinquent and no one would stop to think that he isn't anything but a punk. It reaches the point where only the teachers and Principal Cinch knows how gifted he is, and Cinch does nothing but try to use him with the constant threat of expulsion and having to deal with a father that is barely there but one that he knows is intolerant to failure.

In all of this it is paradoxically upbeat mainly because of the characters ability to depend on each other.

It is sort fo a deconstruction and a reconstruction of some cliches, and a bit of a Bad Premise on Paper that can be good if treated with the right amount of honesty and no short selling of the sort things alienation can do to a person. With slapstick.

In all I am an incompetent writer and person with more ambition that he has any right to have and in all honesty it hopefully will not be like that for long.
