And, here’s December. Christmas is approaching again fast. So much to do, not enough time. Got gifts to decide on and buy, a Jinglemas entry to write, other fics to at least not fully pause work on, plus video games to play and Ponyfics to write and review. A ghost’s work never dies, you might say. But, you know, I’m okay with it. I like being busy enough to not be lazy, without being so busy it gets to be too much. If that makes sense. I’ve at least already read and prepped

Nice advantage of a Bank Holiday Monday is I don’t have to have Monday Musings^TM ready to go on Sunday night, owing to not working up to nearly posting time of 6PM UTC (distinct from GMT, which doesn’t account for time zones). Meaning I can, and am, throwing this together shortly before pressing submit instead. Not a bad side bonus to national holidays always giving the following Monday off.

I don’t know about America, but the price of travelling is going up more and more here. Just got booked in for UK PonyCon in October, nearly six whole months ahead, yet the hotel (same as last year) wasn’t even £10 less despite getting there two months earlier. Not even offsetting the £8 increase in ticket price. Then there’s the flights and if train prices will be different by then… yep, the worldwide travelling cost spike in the wake of COVID sure isn’t slowing down!

It’s probably not a surprise I don’t play party multiplayer games much. What I have said in here has probably spelt out that I prefer games with clear, linear objectives with definitive ends, and while I’m all for playing with friends, in person or online, doing the same against strangers runs its course once I’m used to the game. So it was certainly an experience last Friday when I found myself playing that (by now ancient ) early lockdown hit, Fall Guys.

Hey guys, i recently got involved in a fan project to reboot or more specifically finish the show, My Life as a Teenage Robot. It's actually a pretty solid production, with a fair number of artists and voice actors.

However, we still need more voice actors for certain roles and have a current casting call in place for those interested.

Here's the video with the info if you are interested.

PS, that's me as the Mudslinger doing the announcement just to let you know.

Once again, I am remiss. I haven't been keeping up with new episodes and/or leaks, so ... yeah. Part of it is 'cause I've been fairly busy, and part of it's 'cause I'm subconsciously hoarding random pony eps to randomly watch on Netflix so they'll at least be New-To-Me. Like, I'm pretty sure there's a handful of random episodes from seasons 7 & 8 I still haven't touched yet.

BUT.

Saturday night, and I'm on the internet talking about the last episode of a magic pony cartoon.

Seems legit.

In my defense, I gotta work early tomorrow morning, so it's not like I can really go out and party and whatever. SO HERE WE ARE.

Watching some movies, trying to get back to the roots of what makes me want to write. You will observe that most of them are dark, gritty, 80s cartoons about animals and mythical creatures. Imagine that.

Rock and Rule, possibly best soundtrack in a cartoon ever.

Cartoon Network has released the first of four anti-racism PSAs featuring characters from Steven Universe, but what is mind-blowing is that it has more dislikes than likes.

And so the catchup of missed Author Spotlights concludes on the same month that marks a full year’s worth of them. Which is a good time to put them on ice, least as far as being regular features goes. Enough of them were strains to assemble that it’s better to do them when they come going forward. But if they are to finish now, I could hardly think of a better author to do so with than Impossible Numbers.

Giving the themed week thing another whirl today. This one has been in the planning for much longer than Cadance’s outing, mind, all the way back to January, if you can believe it. Which feels fitting for background pony Berry Punch, more often than not portrayed as a barpony, that it would gestate until the time is right.

This was discovered last night. I'm hopeful, but I don't quit. I won't be going to the expo, but hopefully I'll be able to catch a stream or something

One major advantage of having a hefty backlog of publishable reviews (if obviously nothing like the several months and million-odd words that PaulAsaran stockpiles), is that it gives me the bandwidth to do other Fimfiction things. Ideally writing my own stuff, though there’s no accounting for having the optimal drive all the time. More obviously, it also means I can pitch with others. The odd bout of pre-reading or editing, for sure. But also contest judging. Evidently FoME has a screw loose,
