So, I recently started thinking about how cats have places in our lore and mythologies. And I have a few questions regarding that, the biggest one being, “What is with our fascinations over cats?” And by that, I mean humans, as a collective species, seem to have this amazing enamourment with cats on some level. If they aren’t mystical in mysterious or potentially awe-inspiring ways then they’re the entities that are demonized and treated as a force of evil. Think about it, they say if a black

When you think about it, there was always a prediction about how life works in Equestria and the lands beyond. It's always about "happiness" and "parties" in JUST Equestria, Ponyville in particular, but most of the audience watching the series should have seen that it wasn't always the case. Equestria has its own set of rules and ways of etiquette. But life as expected outside Equestria was no different. There's a variety in the cultures that are set in the "Friendship is Magic"

Now, it's no secret at this point, I am not the biggest fan of Princess Celestia. Honestly if that surprised you guys you need to go read An Exchange Of Camp and An Exchange Of Serenity again.

Now the big question that you guys may be wondering is why I take such a negative stance on Celestia. And here is where I'll tell you all about it.

Journcy contacted me a week or two back about doing a brief interview for a school project, and the questions were interesting enough that I figured it was worth reposting to FIMFiction the writing advice that I offered. Read below the break for about 1400 words on fictional culture construction, how to create a quick character hook, and the story that my writing desk tells.

[I am writing this to explain a few things about my MLP universe, Karamverse. Imperator Aetheris and I have been working on this for many months, and today I have finished a cultural outline of Saddle-Arabia, according to my headcanon in Karamverse. I will be writing more blogs about the other nations in Karamverse in the future.]

Personally I think it is almost criminal that all this time there hasn't been a group for maids. So as a man of culture and taste, I have created one.

A Group for Maids

Now here is a lovely group for maids and stories pertaining to maids. Enjoy.

I would start from the assumption that most ponies are straight, or at least bi, since they seem to have a human-like family structure with the major exception that ponies seem to leave home for good younger than is common in 21st-century America (but not younger than was common in the America or Britain of 1850-1900, which had a comparable technology to Equestria). In general, the Ponies seem to fall in love and get married (generally to members of the opposite sex, though there is at

Why do so many Human in Equestria romance stories fail so spectacularly to seem at all plausible?

Note: All of the Karamverse Civilizations posts are headcanons by me and Imperator Aetheris for our Alternate MLP Universe, Karamverse.

Although the three main tribes of ponies are the Unicorns, Earth and Pegasi, there is
another tribe, a more mysterious tribe which arguably lives in its own world: the Bat
Pony, which is also known as the Nocturnus, plural of which is Nocturnii.

So, right now I'm outlining a fic about Apple Bloom trying to do a presentation on Equestrian rape culture. Obviously, since that's such a touchy subject, it's going to cause some conflicts in both the kids and adults. I haven't quite decided yet what boys and girls I'll add in, we'll see.

So, for the last three years, I’ve been working on a novel series, and I’ve found myself coming back to be critical about my own ideas, but there’s this one thing that keeps pulling me back to question it: cultural appropriation.

Okay, so if Donald Trump replaced Barack Obama as president when he won the election four years ago and everyone makes a big deal about Trump being orange and Obama being black, does that mean...

Orange is the new Black?

There’s a site I like to look at when I want to learn the meaning of names so I can know a bit more. I like to know the meaning behind names, whenever possible, something I think more people should try. All too often I see characters with names that sound interesting then go and look them up and find the meaning of the character’s name has too much disconnect with the character themself. I know it sounds a little nitpicky, but that’s just how I am. Sometimes there are really great names from

To this day, developed countries such as China, Japan, and Korea glorify the culture of overworking as a sign of loyalty to the company, to the point of passing out and/or dying. It is pretty evident that huge companies aim to maximize profits and treat employees as money-making machines and disposable slaves instead of human beings. They don't care about their overall well-being whatsoever.
