Thoughts on My Little Pony?

It's a good show. I like it when you get a show which is clearly aimed at little kids and teaches them morals, but also has enough material that people older then the target demographic can enjoy it.

You couldn't go anywhere in 2010s without people talking about My Little Pony. I wouldn't exactly call myself a Pegsister but I have watched a few of the episodes, either with younger relatives or on my own since they are easily available on Youtube, and there's one fic regarding it that I really, really like. And I'm putting it under the cut because I gush about it too much.

One that I haven't talked about and its called The Bridge. It is a crossover fic between My Little Pony and Godzilla. Yes I know it sounds bizarre but it actually works really well. You see because this fic came out before the Monsterverse was a thing, the creator Tarbtano (who I believe has a Tumblr account as well) made what he calls the Amalgamverse which since Godzilla films don't often have strong continuity it in the Henshi era and the current Godzilla is the grown up Godzilla Junior from those films which makes him a gentle giant.

The plot is that during a battle between Godzilla Junior and Spacegodzilla who didn't die and is called Xenilla, they alongside a bunch of different kaiju were hit with a rebuild Dimension Tide which at first glance seems to kill them. But instead it teleported them to Equestria where due to magic fuckery they are turned into ponies. Yep. Seriously. Godzilla and Xenilla are unicorns, Mothra, who is the Mothra Leo from the Rebirth of Mothra trioity and is called Mothra Lea, is a Changling Queen and ironically enough her design looks a lot like the reformed Changlings before those were revealed. Angrius is a Earth Pony, Rodan is a Gryphon and finally Destroyah who is another villain who didn't 100% die is a Pegasus, and she's been regendered as female.

There are several things I like about the fic, the first is both sides are represented well as since this fic came out during a time when Conversion Bureau fics were everywhere and it was common for the MLP cast to be depicted as arseholes, its a relief to see one where the MLP cast are portrayed canonically accurate. The fact the Godzilla cast are ponies allows them to interact with the cast and the power balance is even. Good example is that Godzilla and Princess Luna get into a fight and both are more or less even, while Luna wins in the end she only does so because Godzilla got distracted at a cruical moment and she herself has substained heavy injuries.

Also Tarbtano is exactly like Mod Bubbles is as he's a total nerd who will go into long philosophical and biological tangents about various topics, remember when I mentioned on ASOOT about a blog where someone was trying to calm everyone down after the frenzy of the 2016 elections? It was him. The Amalgamverse is called that as not only does it fuse the Godzilla films in the monsterverse which predates the offical one, but it also fuses literally every other monster and sci-fi film you can think of. The Gamera series? In this. King Kong? In this. Heck a lot of the monsters from obsurce monster movies from other countries can also be seen here as Pulgasari, the one time when North Korea made a monster movie is in this. We also have Raiga who is a spoof Godzilla in this, The Ultramen series is in this and on the sci-fi side Jurassic Park, Carnosaur, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Species, literal every B rated monster film you can think of, see what I mean when I say this is known as the Amalgamverse?

Its as much of a mismash between monster media as A Student Out of Time is with the various fanganronpas. And on the MLP side, Sailor Moon has been incorporated into it, the various previous generations of MLP, Equastria Girls its is own fully estabished setting and the longest arc that was finished is basically a rewrite of the 2nd Equastria Girls film. Oh and the main villain in all of this is Bagan, you know the kajiu from the SNES games that never got his own film? Yeah he's here, he caused the Toba Catastrophe and he wants all life to go extinct.

Tarbtano's girlfriend FaithWolf does the art and she really does narrow the MLP art style really well and makes it feel like you are there. And while the fic started back in 2013 its still ongoing to this very day making it one of the longest running fics out there. Its amazing that this fic has been around to see the end of MLP and the start of a new generation of Godzilla films.

I could go on and on about this fic and how much I love it, but please check it out for yourself its on the FIMfiction and it has its own TV Tropes page if you cannot find it. Its an amazing story with its own fun side stories and the biological and philosophical ramblings of its creator got me pre-prepared for how Mod Bubbles does things.

I have some questions about karaoke night, Alex Hirsch. Very Important Questions. Which I will happily scream at a poor hapless baby triangle who can have no answers for me, and possibly also does not have object permanence yet.

Follow-up that is I guess suggestive, but let's be real here, Bill's a fucking triangle:

Dude slipped right into his birthday suit, lmao

this is so stupid :D

Anyway, I don't care what anyone says, this brilliant individual knows what's up - Bill is absolutely way more of a monsterfucker than Ford could or ever will be, full stop.

The Odyssey Modern AU: Christmas edition

For your consideration: the Odyssey but as a Hallmark Christmas movie where Odysseus travels to New York for work and is trying to get home to Hawaii?? (I needed a long domestic flight shhhhh it was either this or Vancouver to Newfoundland) in time for Christmas dinner with Penelope and Telemachus after missing it for the last 20 years straight

The Trojan War is some really big business venture or something that took literally forever for them to sign but they finally did it!!

Polyphemus keeps them after work threatening to get HR involved because they accidentally ate his lunch that he left in the fridge, Polites and some of his other coworkers get stuck there but Ody and the rest manage to escape the office

Athena is Odysseus' boss (and childhood friend) who told him to get everything done more efficiently so he could leave earlier but noooooo he didn't listen and guess who's cutting it close again

The wind bag: Aeolus (from another department, maybe distribution??) sends them home with snacks that they forget to declare and Poseidon the airport security guard sees them after Eurylochus opens the bag in the waiting area and pulls them into the security room until they miss their flight

Circe owns a local motel and wanted to kick them out because she doesn't trust so many dudes around her employees after past incidents, but her and Athena's mutual friend Hermes gives Odysseus some of her favourite tea as a peace offering and he tells her about his wife and kid and she's just like "fineeeeee okay you're a wife guy, I guess I can find you a room"

She calls them a taxi to the airport the next day and the driver Tiresias just keeps giving them ominous life advice and seems to know like... way too much about them and also they're not entirely sure he actually has his license

Odysseus gets a call from his mom like "where are you we're waiting for you" and he's like "I'm on my way home I promiseeeeeeeeee I'll be there this time"

The sirens are various sales reps at the airport

Scylla (baggage check employee) keeps some of them cuz their bags are too heavy so Ody and the rest head to the gate without them

Eurylochus brings snacks again (thinking Chicharron-style snacks, ones you're not supposed to bring on a plane) and Zeus detains them

The suitors are just the neighbourhours who bully Telemachus like "oooOOOOhhhhh ssuuuUUURrreee your dad is tOOOOtally gonna show up to Christmas this year" and making jokes about his mom

Athena (who did leave early and catch the original flight) scares them away and reassures Telemachus that his dad is on his way (while texting Odysseus "see I told you so")

She finds out Zeus is the one detaining them so she calls her dad like "please can you at least send Odysseus on his way, you literally know him, he's just a dumbass sometimes" so Zeus let's Odysseus go catch his flight but keeps the rest of them in security

Calypso is some lady he's seated next to on the plane who hits on him for the entire ten-hour flight

Poseidon, who got transferred to the other airport, recognizes Odysseus from before and pulls him into security again and Odysseus just rips into him until he lets him go

The neighbours are bullying Telemachus while he's out getting last-minute ingredients for dinner when some dude turns up and tells them off and threatens to get their parents so they all run off

Penelope's just like... "who are you and what have you done with my husband, how are you actually on time"

Insert sweet and sappy Christmas dinner with the entire family until Odysseus' sister goes "wait... where's Eurylochus?"

Eurylochus turns up at the door the next morning like "ODYSSEUS YOU MF I HAD TO CATCH ANOTHER FLIGHT-"

"She's Gone"

This bad boy was started on the third of November, and finished on the seventh. In total, there are thirty panels (all of which were drawn separately).

A good chunk of N's dialogue near the end came to me after I did some improv to figure out what he should say. I have since dubbed it "N's Failure Monologue."

1930s Horror Film Posters

This was a huge project, and now they're finally all together: A collection of 10 posters for horror movies from the 1930s - with a personal, legally distinct twist! Having my legacy feature actors in the 1930s gave me the perfect idea for Simblreen. Horror movies (especially monster movies) were a huge genre in that decade, so I just had to make my characters star in some of the most famous ones. The text is entirely in Simlish, but the (main) actor names have been changed to the ones of the sims shown on the respective poster, while the others names are the same. Also, whenever a studio is credited, I've changed it to the Plumbob Studio.
