What's with all the "Isa" names in Magic? In the last three blocks, we've had Nissa, Glissa and Gisa.

I just love Gerrard's male model pose on this card:

No, I'm figuring that he wants it back, and one day he comes across a strange cab driver (or something) who tells a really bad joke...and, just briefly, the ex-comedian snorts. So he sets out to find the cabbie in the belief that the driver can make…

Strange character ideas: a former stand-up comedian who has now literally lost his sense of humour.

I love how out of context, you could almost mistake this for Pinkie licking up blood:

Quite possibly. She's a loony Tea Partier is really all you need to know. Morgan also supported gay rights in his interview with Kirk Cameron. When the hell did he suddenly grow a soul?

Apparently Piers Morgan called Michelle Bachman "one of the most judgmental people in America". ...I can't believe I've rooted for Piers Morgan in something.

Isn't it Jonas Salk?

Teysa was a lawyer, apparently. Which is weird, considering that she wasn't in the lawyers' guild. And the information about her suggests that she was basically on the side of good, just kind of a snarky dick about it. Ravnica would be an amazing s…

I think Teysa was the protagonist of one of the novels (along with Kos). She seems like an awesome character.

Also, Angel Bunny is basically Fluttershy's abusive boyfriend.

Can I have a kitten, Haven? (I came this close to accidentally typing "can I have a pony"). Stupid idea for a story: the lead character is the chief aide to a politician who's secretly a vampire.

Tim Vine is the shit.

in Stand-up comedy Comment by Idler 2012-03-06 12:04:59

For a kid's show about brightly-coloured ponies, this scene is really hard-hitting and dark. I mean, Fluttershy gets so personal; it's like every bit of repressed anger that normal Fluttershy probably wouldn't even admit to herself that she has po…

in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (Image-Heavy) Comment by Idler 2012-03-06 11:14:57

This is maybe even more adorable: Fluttershy is second best pony. Although I've developed a new appreciation for Pinkie lately.

I had to run down the road to avoid missing a doctor's appointment. That was not fun.

How did the cherry salesman not fall for this? Is he gay?

Squid: Oh, Rarity is indeed fabulous. But still, maybe not in a way well-suited for presidency.

in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (Image-Heavy) Comment by Idler 2012-03-06 08:35:33

True, but Rarity's a bit more dramatic about it. When AJ loses it, she at least doesn't go all "I HAVE TO GO INTO EXILE" about it. ...wait, that's literally what she did in The Last Roundup, isn't it? Never mind.

in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (Image-Heavy) Comment by Idler 2012-03-06 08:10:50

I think it might be because it's so...pointless. There's no reason to ever play it; there's always a card that can fill its role, but do it better.

in Gathering some Magics Comment by Idler 2012-03-06 07:56:29

Oh, Rarity can be very strong-willed, but she's also prone to hysteria.

in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (Image-Heavy) Comment by Idler 2012-03-06 07:21:46

I need to start visiting more forums. I like it here, but we don't have much of an influx of new meat.

The mane cast go to the pony equivalent of Comiccon, and then stumble across a murder.

I actually think Applejack has a decent amount of credibility as a candidate; at least you can guarantee her honesty, and she's the most level-headed, arguably. But I don't think I would really want to vote for someone who uses phrases like "don't y…

PM sent. It's supposed to eventually turn into a murder mystery (not a grimdark one, though. Think something like Psych or Ace Attorney.)

in The Trash Heap of the Heapers' Hangout Comment by Idler 2012-03-05 09:22:52

I actually quite like what I've got of this pony story so far, but I don't quite know how to continue it.

I meant more the physical appearance of androgyny. Also for some reason I'm writing My Little Pony fanfic.

It's true that Pinkie probably would want to bring a smile to everyone even if they are kind of a jerk, but still. I both enjoyed and hated watching Fluttershy turn into a horrible pony.

in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (Image-Heavy) Comment by Idler 2012-03-05 06:45:32

I thought it was kind of jarring to place this episode right after "A Friend In Need", since in that one Pinkie bounces around loving and being loved by everyone in Ponyville, and then in this one the inhabitants of Ponyville unexpectedly turn out t…

in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (Image-Heavy) Comment by Idler 2012-03-05 06:30:18

I guess it might be because androgyny is a kind of fascination of mine.
