Mythril Moth's Pet Peeves of Fiction, Issue #8 · 10:11pm Aug 19th, 2014
Hey kids, it's that time again! Today I have a special issue! Not one, not two, but THREE peeves of FiM fanfiction!
Let's get right to it:
TASTE THE RAINBOW
LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
Hey kids, it's that time again! Today I have a special issue! Not one, not two, but THREE peeves of FiM fanfiction!
Let's get right to it:
TASTE THE RAINBOW
I decided to try to make Amber Glow in Pony Creator. This is the best I could do:
The mane is wrong (her manecut is identical to Nabiki Tendou's famous hair helmet from Ranma 1/2), and the cutie mark is wrong (Amber Glow's cutie mark is an old floppy-drive computer), but this is the best I could do in 10 minutes with quick resources.
So yeah... this happened.
It's that time again! This time, it's another fanfiction/general fandom pet peeve:
ALL GIRLS ARE SEX-CRAZED LESBIANS
No. Just...no.
If that's your thing, that's fine, but don't expect everyone to praise you for that being your thing.
Because guess what?
That's entirely in your perverted, sex-obsessed mind.
This one is less a peeve about fiction and more a peeve about this specific fandom, but since it does unfortunately appear in fanfics, it needs to be addressed:
THIRTY MOONS IS NOT THIRTY DAYS
Back to general fiction peeves...
NO DEPTH PERCEPTION
This one is a very personal annoyance, because I happen to be blind in one eye:
There's a popular misconception that people with one eye have no depth perception.
WRONG.
The world has lost one of its greats today.
Generations of fans will miss you, Mr. Williams. Please be at peace.
Back again, with a gripe specific to FiM fanfiction.
ANON
Can't you fuckers at least PRETEND you're intelligent enough to think up a name for your HiE/self-insert/second-person "protagonist"?
Or write around the need for a name?
It's really not that difficult!
Every time I see a story where the protagonist is named Anon, I want to visit the author with a chainsaw and a full gas can.
Rewatching "Sweet And Elite", it dawned on me just how hideous the dress Rarity made for Twilight is. Not only the design, but the color. The color clashes horribly. I was overcome with a powerful urge to hunt down a vector of that and recolor the dress...
Finally, we have our first actual GOOD piece of music in SailorMoon Crystal: The theme of Sailormars!
Speaking of which...Rei's voice doesn't quite sound right to me.
