Good story! What a tale! And I'm keeping a sharp eye on Miss Misty, might even have to be ready to call in Din Djarin if I have to.
Did you mean to spell Izzy's name with an "ie" instead of a "y"?

Thanks. Who is Djinn, if I may ask?
Oops. I was writing Christmas cards around the same time I wrote this, and one of my friends in Britain is an Izzie with ie. I'll go and correct it.

Interesting.
Same here, the last 2 years and this year Christmas have been tough for me to be happy, because of the fact my family has suffered 3 losses, and it's hard to be happy when you miss them dearly.
Doesn't she mean have it here?
Who?
Kinda sounds like a bad idea considering the fact Rebecca is a troublesome engine to run like the rest of the spamcans. Streamlined ones, not the ones that aren't. But still, it makes you wonder sometimes.
Sweet, a doubleheader!!
Mhm.
who got up and shook Sunny's hand.*
Why am I not surprised by this.
What a wonderful surprise!!!
Tell me about it.
Already nervous for what's to come next.

1. Sorry for your losses. It's not been an easy time for us all.
2. This was written before the postal strikes basically crippled Britain's mail system, and as a result using heritage equipment to move mail seems bizarrely precedent.
3. 'To mark' has the same meaning as 'to have'. It might be specific to British English.
4. Sook?
5. Brace yourself. There's plenty more coming where that came from.
11459827
1. It sure has...
2. Postal strike eh, interesting.
3. Got it.
4. I meant shook.
5. Sweet, can't wait!

Din Djarin is the name of The Mandalorian from The Mandalorian.
11460352
Ah. Contemporary Star Wars is a loop I am somewhat locked out of right now.
11460354
That's okay, while The Mandalorian does has a name, a lot people still call him "Mando"
11460053
1. Well said.
2. Some gifts I send didn't make it in time for Christmas.
3. Yes.
4. OK.
5. Let's keep this wagon train rolling.
11460357
I'm guessing that's an example of a fandom-enraging misconception.
11460361
Not really. He was only called Mando because we didn't get his real name until episode 8: "The Redemption". Moreover, with how more unique he is compared to other Mandalorians, it helps identify him better. Because most don't keep track of his actual name.
Hey there, have you got the chance to ask Thomlight Sparkle what his favorite Sagwa episode was yet?
11460364
That makes sense. I guess it's similar to how Sunset keeps being referred to as Bacon Horse in some bits of the MLP fandom.
11460374
Wait. Patience.
11461316
Ok
11461319
Very good.
11461315
Didn't even know she was referred to as that. However, while I can understand why, I never really saw her hair being colored like bacon. Wrong shades of color. Button Mash's hair is more bacon colored than Sunset's ever could be.

I'm not sure of the origin of the nickname either. I think it largely dates from the period shortly after her redesign for Friendship Games was revealed.
11461708
Ah.
11461722
Still, a weird bit of MLP history for you. Somebody should write this all down and put it in a book, considering the effect MLP had on popular culture in the 2010s.
11461726
Yes, there really should be a book about this kind of thing.
11461728
Sounds like a challenge.
11461768
It definitely does.
11461322
You know, what is your favorite season of Thomas?
11461771
I'm up to it.
11461824
7.
11462210
For me, series 2
11462235
OK.
11462209
I bet you are. You are quite a story writer.
11462449
Aww, thanks bud.
11462592
Not a problem, mate.
11463532
Still, not long until things get moving again.
