I have something interesting to share today with those who enjoyed Seashell—it's a look at the real-life history behind the story.

The first little inklings and scribblings I wrote down of the thoughts which would eventually become Seashell started right after I visited San Clemente Island. I'm still not sure how to describe that experience other than to say it was three of the best days of my life. I still think about it.

The year is 1577.

Advances in magic research and in technological research have leaped far beyond what we could ever have imagined. Networks of information pass freely throughout all societies, allowing knowledge to spread to all thinking beings. Flesh and steel have merged, and have become indistinguishable to the naked eye. Life expectancy has soared. We have become smarter, stronger, better than what biology and natural selection had given us with the birth of Cybernetics research.

Hey everyone, just wanted to know that my TMNT story is going to take a little longer than I thought. I thought about trying to work three chapters and cram them into posting them in the future like i did with my last two chapters so that I could write down the ideas i had. So I hope you have the patience enough whilst i work on this, so I do apologize for taking so long.

From telekinesis to rewriting reality, magic in the MLP universe can do a lot. There is an entire branch of magic affiliated with crystals and the mind called "dark magic" that's completely forbidden for anyone other than Celestia, Twilight, and (presumably) Luna to even know about. I'd also say that Equestria is not free of crime, though crimes of the more ugly sort are likely much rarer. Still, when a pony's future hinges on their innocence Celestia is likely to be called in.

Ghost in the Shell is getting the live action treatment. The movie looks like it could be pretty decent, except for the continued trend of white-washing by the film industry, but... yeah. Trailer came out just yesterday I think.

And why you may ask and not just type I am going to say. Well just like my Ghsot in the shell video, i was to make sure i get my point across with people getting the wrong way. And to tell you the truth i am looking forward to the live action movie of Full Metal Alchemist but i will be still bring up the Ghost in the Shell vid. And going to stop there before i say something "wrong" and someone taking as that. So keep your eyes open for that my friend :3

The absurd in the works of art can be expressed through multiple forms, including text, music, videos, and pictures among others. In order to examine how it is created in different types of media and compare the absurd as presented by two artists, two passages from Artaud’s To Have Done with the Judgment of God (pages 71-72) and Oshii’s Ghost in the Shell (47:49-49:54) were chosen. Artaud and Oshii examine the absurdity of existence, consciousness, and experience by using

I must admit it actually took me a bit to come up with that title, true as it is. Hey folks, Max here with the weekly update, and as noted above, this week it’s full of dragons. Why? Well, because I’ll be talking about two dragon books today.

Furthermore, the first one I’m going to talk about is not my own.

---Season 9--Episode 9---
This episode felt like it was trying to do for dragons and Garble what “Lost Treasure of Griffinstone” did for griffins and Gilda. There are a few issues with that concept on paper. (This is credited to Kim Beyer-Johnson, the person behind Non-Compete Clause. While episodes aren't really written by only one or two people, I still felt like we'd dodged a bullet. This just being an OK episode overall is fine).

The "Chase" arc was one of the earliest parts of the story I had planned for The Iron Horse, and many of the ideas I had made it into the final version around 2 years later when I finally got around to it. For instance (note that I'll be using spoilers before the break for those who haven't read that far yet and none after the break):

1. Umahara was always going to switch sides.
