real life is crazy - April 23


The obligatory disclaimer: real life…it does not suck, not always. Sometimes it is just insane instead. If you look on Yahoo’s news of the day, you will see why. I, incidentally, got caught on the tail end of the event in question, and just barely made it home. Go me. Not. Several other people got much more unlucky…

Anything else? Just that last week’s episode of MLP: FiM featured more of the hippogriff-merpony weirdness. Again. Yes, it is continuity with the MLP vs. the Storm King movie, but… again, who was the genius behind this idea? The whole sea to sky/land conversion isn’t too different from what Disney did in their ‘Little Mermaid’ franchise, but how would this work in a more anthropomorphic setting, (say, the Equestria Girls side-universe)? Merponies are, naturally, merfolk; Equestrian ponies correspond to the humans, dwarves and elves of the modern RPG worlds, so where do the new races fit in? And the hippogriffs, as I said in an earlier time, were an especially inconvenient idea, because – hybrid species, remember? So the entire merpony/hippogriff episode was weird; its’ main idea was sound and important, because it dealt with the fate and status of children of separated/divorced parents (grown-ups), due to irreconcilable, (or nearly so), differences…

So, where does this lead us? Nowhere, for today was just too full of insanity, the bad kind. Therefore, nothing more will be said today, not at the moment.

See you all soon instead!
