The Anime Otaku Survey #2: The Seven Deadly Sins · 12:55am Nov 12th, 2018

Hello and welcome back to the Anime Otaku Survey! It’s been a little while since my previous installment. For anyone just tuning in for the first time, this is a blog series dedicated to the study and review of anime that I watch. I highlight everything about the show that stands out to me, the good and the bad. As always, my reviews on here tend to be a bit spoilery, so you have been warned.

Plot Bunny Theater: The Movement of the Heavens · 7:45pm Dec 23rd, 2019

In the past, each tribe of Ponies developed their own way of controlling the sun and Moon (or making replacements). The unicorns just got there first.

The Earth ponies constructed a gigantic Stonehenge like structure to channel their magic through to move the sun and moon. Or rather, move the Earth itself around the other bodies.

Being a Better Writer: Escalating Tension · 10:19pm Jul 17th, 2017

As usual, this post is a copy-paste from my website. Reading there helps build my rankings and keep new material coming!

All right, so this topic has been on the list for a while, and it's high time it gets crossed off. Which means ... I've got to talk about it. Time to see how much knowledge I can impart! So here goes!

New (Not Quite Canadian) Part Out! · 1:23am Jan 30th, 2016

So, this thing is airing on TV only two days after I release a part focusing on Pink Lady. I mean, I know this series is musical-themed, but man, do I have mad serendipity skills.

Hundred-Prompted One · 5:47pm Nov 13th, 2022

I have the... let's go with "honor" of being a mod on Estee's Discord server. (I volunteered to keep the place from bursting into flames one weekend while Estee needed to be elsewhere and they haven't let me give the authority back since.) One of the more fun elements of the server is Tipper posting silly yet intriguing story prompts in the headcanon discussion channel.

Well, here's an interesting plot bunny... · 5:55pm Dec 21st, 2015

"A mostly empty classroom in Celestia’s school for gifted unicorns, showing filly Sunset Shimmer (who has her cutie mark) bullying blank flank Trixie, while filly Starlight Glimmer looks on in disgust at Sunset’s cruelty. A triple what-if alt-origin, for Miss Inferiority Complex (Trixie), Miss Superiority Complex (Sunset), and Miss Messiah Complex (Starlight)."

Being a Better Writer: Going Vertical · 10:40pm Sep 11th, 2017

I'm back! No longer diseased! Well, not fully. And still with a recovering knee injury, but those things take time, or so I'm told by the doctors. But I am well enough to write write write at last! My mind is clear! And so after a long, unwelcome delay, we're finally getting back to a follow-up post I alluded to some time ago.

What Do You Like And Don't Like; Shattered Rainbow Rock · 11:48pm Mar 1st, 2018

I am curious. What is it about Shattered that you guys like about it? What positives do you have? What negatives do you have? Something you think that needs to be looked into some more that I should do? Maybe something that could have been taken out completely?

Be an Author: Attachment · 2:15am Oct 30th, 2018

Do not become attached to your ideas.

Let’s put that in a positive statement. Become attached to your successes. Though. Really. Be suspicious of all attachments in your writing. For beginning and intermediate writers, this almost always means your plot ideas.

There are no new ideas. There, I said it. Not yours, not mine, not anybody’s.

Plot Bunny Theater: Bouncing Baby 4 · 5:53am Jun 28th, 2020

Finally, the happy day arrives, and Twilight and Shepherd go to the hospital. Twilight is breathing hard, as she goes through labor. Shepherd squeezes her hoof comforting as Nurse Redheart stands on the other side of the bed.

Nurse Redheart: “Don’t worry Princess, you’re doing fine. You’re already dilating, which is very good! Now, we’ll start with the low intensity pain killers and then apply the higher grade stuff as you-”

Plot Bunny Theater: Fixing Flash Sentry... Again · 4:39am Jul 9th, 2023

One of the most frustrating parts about Flash Sentry is that he was made WAY too bland. So bland that there wasn't a reason for Twilight to actually fall for him. Not until later movies and episodes actually GAVE him some.

I did a thing. · 10:10am Mar 2nd, 2015

So my local Brony group is really active and organized, and one of the things we do is a free, weekly, hour-long writing class with volunteer teachers. I've taught two lessons in it so far, and my non-Brony roommate wanted me to film it this last time because he was interested in the lesson but didn't want to come to the group meeting. So I took about eight hours to get the whole thing into good shape on YouTube, and you can watch it there. And now you can watch it here, if you have a spare
