I hate mixing politics with ponies—I come here to take a break from the real world, not have current headlines shoved in my face all over again.
But this needs to be brought up.

To honor the critically-acclaimed version of the DCEU's take on the Justice League, I present to you a fanmade trailer that is based on the second trailer of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3!
So, apparently they're making a sequel series to Turnabout Storm, known as Elements of Justice. I cannot fully express how much hype I'm feeling for this right now.
DAMN!!! I laughed so hard at that Justice League roast!

The court said the language of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits sex discrimination, applies to discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
I have no words, just... simply amazing. This restored my faith in America for a bit.
In view of the recent blog posts that have filled most of your timelines, I think some measures of mental hygiene are warranted. In times of conflicts, low wages, rampant housing insecurity, riots, a global pandemic, and the all-around destitution of the public sphere, it is important to be aware of how discourse is used, meddled with, and even weaponized.
It still needs to be said that black lives matter. It does. There is no question about it. It is not negotiable.
Rating Scale:
12/10—a complete masterpiece; flawless and outstanding
11/10—Excellent, near-perfect film
10/10—the standard rating; awesome film with a couple of flaws
9/10—a wonderful film with several flaws
8/10–a great film with numerous flaws but not enough to ruin it
YOOOOOO remember when I said I was tentatively optimistic about Batman v. Superman after the first trailer?
Well....
This is gonna be awful...and in none of the fun ways.
I do my level best to stay away from posting about current events on this site. I come here to have a mental space away from that.
I’m going to make an exception here.
Among the greatest of tragedies are those compounded by other tragedies. Among the cruelest injustices are those which are used to create mounting injustice.
Poetic Justice glanced at the clock. These guys would be punctual, so she had a few minutes. She moved through the living room of her small apartment, pulling the armchair from it's place in front of the tv and leaving it in front of the door. She pulled the little folding table over and opened it up on the chair's left side. Scurrying to the kitchen, she came back with bottle of cider, lifted from a raid a few months back. No pony would miss it.
Yeah, this year hasn't been good for writing. I've managed to get a little done, but no promises on a timetable. For those who are still eager for more, I'm trying, and I hope to have something for one of my stories soon. I might try to focus on finishing Bloodlines, but I'm not sure. In the mean time, enjoy some commissioned art I got done for Justice Itself, and then just some other art I got done unrelated to that.
So I watched the Snyder cut of Justice League yesterday. Since my commentary on Game of Thrones was positively received, I figured I'd do another for y'all. Spoilers below the break for Snyder League and probably a bunch of other old superhero movies. Oh, and... Fallout 3, I guess?
So last weekend was an... odd weekend for the DCEU. The Hollywood rumor-mill would have you believe it was disastrous, but honestly there was only one bit of actually worrisome news, and even that was a rumor. So let's run down the list.
I came across a thing that I haven't seen pointed out anywhere else, so here you go!
Nifty, huh?
I try to write stories about heroes – heroes of great crises, and heroes of little, everyday problems. Given that this is one of the most central themes of my writing, I can only assume that many of you read my work because that appeals to you.
Today, I’m going to offer you a moment for some of that everyday heroism. To do it, I have to share something unpleasant. Something I truly don’t want to talk about.
My lady-bro ALOS completed a little commission of mine just in time for Halloween... literally.
Enjoy three flavors of wizard Justice and good ol' original.
