Ragos has done it again, written another fantastic entry for my Not-A-Contest!
First we had our changeling plumber, and now it’s a kirin firefighter.

When I first saw the pilot to MLP, it kicked open doors inside my brain and broke down walls inside my heart. There was something uniquely magical about the sun and moon mythos in particular. It functioned on fairy tale logic - a type of storytelling that is specifically designed to tickle your subconscious and hit you somewhere primordial.
Got a few days before the chains of work call to me so I wanted to get one more Monster Hunter two-shot out for the year. I can't decide right now so I thought I'd give you all the choice between these three. Two more centered to a winter theme, another sorta successor to The Black Dragon. Take your pick if you want. Two are canon monsters and the last is a Frontier Monster so expect over-the-top abilities.
Go read more about kirin and stuff. I managed to make this one a chonky update. I've been going through a lot of my old notes and documents to clear things around, find future ideas, and be more prepared for getting into writing. Also, don't forget to check out the three stories I wrote and released recently!
I guess anger is like other feelings. It's not about having them, it's what you do with them. - Autumn Blaze
This episode got very special to me, a gift in times where I need it most.
It contains two very important lessons:
Getting angry and letting out your anger in controlled ways is not wrong.
and
You can only have positive feelings if you have negative feelings as well.
I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before, but I’m what’s called a discovery writer (or a pantster); as such a lot of my writing at least starts off with characters and/or a situation and I just start writing to see what happens.
Not much to say today, been writing a lot (For me at least), so that's good! I'm always afraid the next thing I post is going to be poorly received, but Y'all (for the most part) seem to enjoy my low-quality degeneracy... So buckle up and let's keep this ride going.
Find Cute Kirin Below!
If I tell you the author I was assigned for Jinglemas is the only fimfiction author I have a T-shirt bearing the name of, then that rather gives his identity away, doesn't it?
It's rather nice to be assigned an author who you've read several stories by. It increases the pressure, I suppose, but it also gives you a clearer idea of what to aim for.
Commissioned this piece from NotQuiteEquine she was a great artist to work with and this like their other work is outstanding!
I sorta had a plan for an election day fic. A coup, involving Luna.
Marching up to the white house, her saddlebags bulging with cans of soup ‘for her family,’ maybe some batponies.
Everybody loves batponies.
New merch on teespring available, honestly this video has been basically ready since the other line was done, but I had to resist posting both, lol. It'll premier 12 PM PST I'll be in the comments during it, not sure how it'll work...lol
Jinglemas is upon us!
For those of you who don't know, everyone's assigned an author to write a story for. In case you're overwhelmed by all the Jinglemas fics (89 so far!) I'll post the one I was gifted here, and you can just click on it:
What are the odds of another Monster Hunter story appearing on the front page, AND it's centered around an Oroshi Kirin like mine, hahaha, that's great ^_^. Hope you're enjoying Phantom Beast too by the way, hrm... maybe I should make a group to organize this stuff, I got like... four stories based in Indomitable's world, and I do have others planned, huh, now that's a thought
Just finished this one and was proud of how it turned out so I felt like posting it here.
Welcome to another mechanicing blog! It’s been too long since I did one of these, so for everybody who’s forgotten, grab either the beverage of your choice or your thinking cap, and let’s have some fun!
Once again, we find ourselves on the eve of an election, and once again I decided to surpress the urge to do something political. You know, like Sunset Shimmer declares herself God-Empress of the United States.
Grading Scale:
A (fantastic episode)
A- (an excellent episode with at least one flaw)
B+ (a great episode with a couple of flaws)
B (a good episode which still could have been better)
And it's not hard to see why!
