I'll never be free...

Sometimes, stories enrapture you. They make you feel so immersed in their world, be it by their prose, the characters, the tone, that you can forget about the real world for a while. That's not what happened with this story. In fact, today's story has made me feel and think things I've never experienced before.

Several years ago, Aragon and horizon came up with a neat anthology concept. A bestiary of Equestrian creatures. It would've been nice to see it come to fruition, but sadly the project never materialised. Upon checking old files, I realised I still had my entry and decided I should try sharing it in a blogpost rather than letting it die.

The haze of sleep dissipated as Mrs. Cake felt her husband stir in bed. She opened her tired eyes and turned slightly around in time to see Mr. Cake stand up.

“Dear? Is everything okay?” she asked, her voice still groggy.

“Don’t worry, hun. I’ll be right back,” he replied as he walked out of their room.

It’s good to know that, as the years go by, I’ll never run out of pony stories to read. There seems to be no shortage of stories about which I can complain, either, which is bad for my liver, but good for anyone who reads these things.

Zaid Rants: Arkensaw Pinkerton's 'Fixing Up Miss Smartypants' - With Helpful Charts! · 5:05pm Oct 7th, 2017

Jesus Christ, this was one hell of a ride.

I stumbled upon 'Fixing Up Miss Smartypants' by Arkensaw Pinkerton years ago, and just as with everything else in my life, I threw it aside and told myself I'd get around reading it sooner or later. Well, I finally did and I'm still reeling from the experience.

Zaid Rants: Steel Resolve's 'You Make My Whole Life Worthwhile' · 4:14pm Feb 14th, 2017

[This story deals with mature themes, namely sex. While this review won’t mention anything explicit, it will make allusions to it while making the analysis. So if two characters expressing their love through the act of sex is something that bothers you, feel free to skip this blog.]

I like romance.

Zaid Rants: SilverStar7's 'More About Time' · 2:30am Jan 18th, 2017

There is something to be said about the quality of a story when you get invested in it to the point where you actively dislike the antagonist, and continue to root for them to get what’s inevitably coming to them as a result of their actions.

Not so much when you wish the same happens to the protagonist.

Boy, oh boy.

You know, I never really intended to make more of these type of blog posts, but what can I say. I guess I'm just that bitter.
