Add asymmetry? Make it look like she doesn’t know anything to do but cut chunks off until the whole wig needs replacing? Seems like the personality you’ve described.

Good news: We got Mary Shelley to write it. Bad news: She just put your name down as M. Also she wrote down 'Died from walking barefoot in the morning dew.'

I am horrified, but your sacrifice for Halloween will be written forever in the book of Goth.

Completely random trivia: A toy set I bought gave her name as 'Twist-a-Loo'. Is this canon? Is she related in some way to Scootaloo? I have no idea! But it was there on the box!

Also that Rarity rocks so hard we're going to run out of rocks.

The true proof of his success is how hard English speakers strain to recognize words. It sounds right to us, and yet nothing quite lines up.

I’m not sure ‘all right’ is knowingly English. Note how slurred it is. It’s just a sound he’s heard in English songs.

In case anyone was unaware, in 1973 an Italian pop singer who spoke no English wrote a song meant to SOUND like English. He was wildly successful. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fU-w...

“It turns out, subsuming a portable hole in a polymorph creates a point of dimensional stress that is just barely sub-critical! Put that in a Bag of Holding and you start getting math with i in it. You see that little pink imp in the corner crying? That’s Causality. You did that.”

Yes, it explodes. Technical justifications are available for whatever you want, so make it explode to warn players their crazy shenanigans won’t ALWAYS work. Bonus points for “Congrats, you fucked up space and time so bad you’re standing on a heap of your possessions in the Land Of The Lost.”

I know this will shock everyone to hear, but this idea involves teenage girls adopting morally questionable career paths.

No my authoring is not dead! Neither is my Patreon! Things slowed down enough for me to get a little writing done, and I decided I should give my latest inspiration a try and see what people think. As a possible book sample, you don't have to be a member of my Patreon to read it.
