    Life Update

    I was just notified yesterday that my job contract is being terminated, and as such I will be unemployed starting January. I do have several opportunities which look like they may be promising, but in the meantime I may be in a rough spot for the next month or so and it's looking likely that I will need to move.

    I just acheived a very old childhood dream of mine.

    So, many of you might not know or really care, but yesterday something happened that I honestly never in my life expected to happen.

    I'm writing a new Pony crossover fic

    It'll be a while before I post it here, and will likely not be too long (probably 10 chapters at most), but I do have something in the works that you can expect to see on both FiMFiction as well as on my Ao3 account soon.

    And I can guarantee you will never guess what it's a crossover with. :trollestia:

    I'm Writing a New (Non-Pony) Crossover Fic

    Over the past couple weeks I’ve been beginning work on a fic concept that I’ve had for a while, involving a crossover between two bug-related video games that I quite enjoy:

Hmm, isn’t this interesting? Shame I seem to have misplaced the planeswalker that came with it...

... Huh. I'm legitimately not sure on this one. Gloriosa would be my first guess, but she's kind of dead... though Sunset can use two of the colors best known for resurrection. But the dialogue isn't really giving me enough to work with.

Hint: Look very closely at Intuition, what the card actually does, and what kind of metaphor the flavor text is using.

I would say either Starswirl or possibly pony Starlight. But the green magic is tripping me up a little.

Here's my guess : Wall Flower, as she did a lot of memory stuff, and she worked on that garden group thing
EDIT: Never mind, They belong to the last one.

Its interesting, thats for sure. A part of me wants to throw out Wallflower again, but not only is she the one for the last card set, she isn't the type of character to build others up (Time of Need). Parrallel Thoughts I think is one of the critical cards here, and at first made me lean either Pinkie or Discord. But I can't picture either of those two without adding Red, so that shoots that down. (I know Zennistrad said Intuition is a big hint, but I am kinda bad at Metaphor, so all I see is a card that interacts well with Graveyard recursion and implies it, meaning your choice is pointless in the end.... but thats a rare mechanic in Green/Blue).

Plasm capture originally made me go Sci-Twi, and I definitely believe that if her spark ever did awaken she would lack the Red that Princess Twilight has. She is and was always far more likely to be bullied and dominated then Twilight was. But she would still be Blue/White and I don't think she has earned a Green either.

The only main character that I would say earns Green naturally is Applejack, (maybe Fluttershy as Green/White) but this is DEFINITELY not her.

But jumping back to Parrallel Thoughts, their is a character that tends to have built up other characters, favors non-intervention and does some Time fuckery, sciencey explainations and metaphors Doctor Whooves. We even know he could show up and in fact WOULD likely get involved in the current Phyrexian Mess. And Zennistrad definitely likes the character.

The problem is, while it fits most of the cards....Intuition is the card that Zennistrad said was most important for guessing....and yet Graveyard synergy, and the slight hint of mockery in the comment (your choice doesn't matter), doesn't feel right. Nor does Nostalgic Dreams or the colour Green at all. I would have picked him Monoblue Planes Walker.

So, you know what, f$#% it. I declare its The Great and Powerful Trixie. It doesn't fit at all, but I have no idea and the idea of Planewalker Trixie amuses me.

A lot of interesting guesses so far!

Don’t worry though, I’m sure you’ll puzzle out the answer eventually. All it takes is a bit of cleverness. ;)

... Ohhhh. :facehoof: Kind of obvious in hindsight.
