That seems like a good enough excuse to share these two fan-made Twisted Metal movie trailers.

And it’s given me an idea for a G5 fic.

I’ll cut to the chase: right now, I’m not mentally in the state needed to write stories.

I wrote and published Loop to blow off steam, but in the months since, I’ve gotten worse—nothing dangerous, just feeling burned out, more down/self-loathing, and lacking both muse and motivation to write.

I am not giving up writing; I’m just putting it on hold until the above problems are sorted out.

Here’s an interesting fact about the development process of the Twisted Metal games: the vehicles are created first, and the drivers second.

So, while we all wait for me to resume writing Twisted Magic: Black, here are some (but not all) vehicle concept arts of Twisted Metal: Black; some of these vehicles never made it into the game, while others did, but with different designs.

All of the pictures in this post are by Lee R. Wilson.

These past several months, I’ve been on a roller coaster of ups and downs.

I got a new car, and have come to like it very much.

We got a dog, which has been… interesting, I guess.

I’ve got something in place to help me start training for a job. I had a similar thing previously, but it was shut down because of the pandemic.

My emotional state went to some very bad places early this year, but I’ve now gotten out of it.

Somebody: *says MLP: ANG is good*
Me: “Wonderful!” *moves on to something else*

Somebody: *says MLP: ANG is bad*
Me: “Oh no!” *moves on to something else*

I’ve watched 20-30 episodes of FiM in total, and have zero interest in increasing that number. Likewise, I have zero interest in watching ANG.

That said, I think G5 ponies look adorable.
