Gen 1 Baby Pony and Pretty Pal

Baby Fleecy & Baby Woolly

1988, Lamb & Earth Pony, Year 7

[imreadydollparts]

Baby Pony and Pretty Pal Fleecy and Wooly came in at the same time.

Fleecy’s hair is rather faded.

Wooly didn’t need much work at all, she doesn’t even have a tail.

My first farm friends, a Wooly and a Fleecy. They're so cute and fluffy! (-w-)

@fleecy said: so where does one read actual mtga plot/storytelling? i didn’t realize it had any! is it in like spinoff books or smth :?

oh boy that's SUCH a good question

the tl;dr is that Magic's official story has generally been told via a sort of slapdash combination of tie-in novels (in Actual Book Form) + short stories (posted on their website)

and of those two, the short stories are generally *stronger* and sometimes really quite good, but unfortunately the design-by-committee approach to the overall story does hamper their impact somewhat

the LONGER answer is:

* in the beginning MtG's storyline was told primarily via little bits of flavor text on cards, vibes, and maybe the occasional comic in a magazine or something

* and it really wasn't so much a *story* as it was history... set dressing that told you how this world came to be

* they made a concerted effort at telling an actual STORY on the cards beginning with the Weatherlight set in 1997, with mixed results. nerds like me loved collecting the cards and trying to carefully piece all the flavor text together into something coherent; most people were like "uhhh idk what's going on, but this Gerard guy pops up a lot i guess?"

* so then they tried publishing tie-in novels because this was the era of That Giant Shelf O' Shitty Trade Paperback Fantasy Novels At Your Local Barnes & Noble (feat. Mercedes Lackey)

* unfortunately the authors they chose were mostly bad, and when they weren't bad, they were working under insane deadlines to get a novel out in time for the launch of the accompanying set

* eventually someone noticed the novels weren't making any fucking money and killed them

* for a while they decided Vibes TM was all you needed for storytelling

* but eventually they noticed Superhero Stories TM featuring a Strong Central Protagonist TM worked way better for mass-market storytelling than their admittedly extremely WEIRD original conception of planeswalkers as basically-gods

* so they downgraded the powerlevel of planeswalkers massively, so they could be cool superhero-type heroes instead of actual gods

* and eventually they decided short-stories-building-toward-a-whole on their website was a cool way to tell the story of their planeswalkers

* this was actually a very good idea, and well-suited to the type of storytelling MtG does best (i think its universe really does work better with vignettes-tied-into-a-whole rather than constantly trying to make everything about Jace fucking Beleren)

* but unfortunately they REALLY bought into this "everything needs to be about planeswalkers" shit, so the storytelling has felt kind of samey and stale in that comic-book-y way where you desperately wish someone would do a reboot or something

if you ever want to dig into MtG lore i highly recommend this absurdly-well-researched, lengthy thread on the mtgsalvation forums. weatherlight was really flawed but i also think it was MtG storytelling at its best and i still think about Volrath like once a week, okay dweebing out over BYE

I added Harry because I thought something bad would be coming, but no. Fleecy however, 100% has to do with something. One of my close friends at my high school hangs out with the girl that I'm scared of. I am indeed quite jealous of that, so that's why I drew it. And no, it's not the guy on here. He gets me.

Reading The Hidden Oracle: Chapter 26 (SPOILERS)

"After Woodstock, I stuck around, started a pottery studio." Chiron: Rhea has not been seen in millennia... Rhea: *upstate doing pottery*

"I burned my apodesmos and got liberated." APODESMOS (n.): a woolen undergarment that bore a basic resemblance to the design of modern bras. Worn by Minoan women, though women in the rest of the Greek world at the time did not use undergarments. I figure Rhea must mean this figuratively.

"She's a messenger of the gods, right? Along with Hermes and that other groovy liberated chick... Joan of Arc?" I think you mean Fleecy. She takes most of Iris's messages now.

"Wanted to make themselves gods." Oh, gods.

"I wanted to ask Rhea who his two compatriots were in the Triumvirate, but I decided I could not bear the information at present." APOLLO! You need to know this! You can bear it! Just ask her! We could probably save at least half a book's worth of questing if you just got this information now!

"When Lizzy Stanton and I hosted the first women's rights convention in Woodstock--" "I think you mean Seneca Falls?" I'm proud of myself for remembering this from history class. Elizabeth Cady Stanton worked with Susan B. Anthony to get rights for both women and African Americans. Stanton wrote some paper about women's rights that I can't recall now. (Declaration of Sentiments, upon further research) No, Rhea, Jimi Hendrix was not involved. "Then who set that guitar on fire?" I don't know.

"Oh, he's already found the gates" So that's why the Beast is luring Meg and Apollo into the Woods (now capitalized since the geyser guys have branded it an officially named location). They want them to open the way into the prophecy grove.

"The emperors will suffocate our future and divide up the world." First of all: now we've got clarification that all three in the Triumvirate are Roman emperors. Second of all: great. I was like, "They're just a corporation. Yeah, they're bad, but this is a big step down in stakes compared to the last two series." Guess not. They started out mortal and the still want to overthrow the gods. With the amount of rebellions against the Olympians in the past decade alone, I'd be tempted to just let this one happen. It doesn't sound like they want to wipe out all human life unlike the other two, Gaea and Kronos. Anyway, I didn't realize just becoming a god was an option. Pogchamp.

"some kind of attack on your camp . . . Like, even worse than napalm." Is there something worse than napalm that would plausibly be used in a children's book? Idk, a nuke?? Is Camp Half-Blood gonna get nuked?

On the one hand I'm so not looking forward to having to put on a coat every time I leave the house but on the other hand I am so looking forward to being snuggled up beneath multiple blankets at night, like sign me up for warmth and comfort

She’s an absolute psycho and I both despise and love her

I am very glad that I've never actually stated on AO3 that I would adhere to a consistent posting schedule for any of my works.

That way lies madness, in my humble opinion.

BUT.

I do need to update more often than I do. I've already semi-promised myself that I won't start any more multi-chapter stories until I finish my works in progress.

No matter how much they itch at the back of my brain...
