    Time ghost

    MLP:FiM came out 14 years ago.

    I first used the internet in 1996.

    I don't know exactly when, but sometime soon we will hit the point where MLP has been part of the internet for literally half the time it's existed in my life.

    Across the generations

    Something happened earlier this week that got me thinking.

    Even though I have all of G4 on my computer and can watch any part of it any time I wish, back on monday on a whim I clicked on the official MLP stream on youtube. I found myself dropped into the middle of Magical Mystery Cure, just before A True True Friend started playing, and I watched through to the end of the episode.

A different sort of wizardry · 7:11pm Oct 24th, 2022

This is a month and a half old. But obviously I've watched it a couple dozen times since then, and probably someone here hasn't seen it.

And it just now struck that you know, I made my Star Swirl Scottish. But Merlin was Welsh, and Michael Sheen would voice him damn well.

If I may paraphrase Billy the Bard, I do believe he takes no scorn to wear the leek upon Saint Tavy's day.

We few, we happy few, we band of fanfic writers.

If you want to be even more precise, he was Brython (or Brythoniaid), which is what the people of modern day Wales called themselves at the time. "Welsh" as a cultural identity wouldn't emerge for centuries. The word "Welsh" derives from a Latin term meaning "foreigner" and was applied to them by the Romans and those who followed.

Those sneaky Romans.

Anyway, Merlin certainly wasn't English, that's for sure :trollestia:

Haha yeah. In fact, that's around the point when the Angles arrived and started forming kingdoms.
