Seriously? To me that looks even worse.

You know what, I'll just leave the editing to you guys, and I'll stick with my nice little pictures. Pictures that require absolutely no fancy linguistics.

It is pretty complex. "But the gift didn't matter if (it wasn't what they wanted) or (it wasn't from [who they wanted it from])." I think I would have said, "...or wasn't from the right people".

Not so much. I think, more to the point, Deus was Blackjack gone bad. When Twist refused to even see him, he gave up trying to protect ponies and became the aggressor himself. That's something BJ hasn't done. Yes, she participated in 99, but she stopped and tried to push for change as soon as she realize what she was doing. When she realized what she had done to Boing, she immediately sought help. That's what the black-suited mare in Happyhorn was all about -- she represents Blackjack-as-Deus.

Meleagridis wrote:Well, yes. Perhaps I should have said Doof, rather. But by now Blackjack has at least one crime of rage under her belt. Sleepless or not, she is guilty of trying to murder Boing. She's where Doof was at the point of breaking. So she may not be Deus, but she isn't all that far from becoming him. Still, I probably should have said Doof rather than Deus.
(And thanks, swicked)

She didn't target Boing deliberately. She targeted what she thought was a hostile Harbinger. If anything, it was voluntary manslaughter.

Group name:
Personally I think Somberos rolls better off the tongue.

Deus/BJ redemption:
BJ is already strides ahead of Deus in terms of redeeming herself. She fails about half the time, has no single "Talk to Twist" style goal, just "do better" and she's mostly sucessful at that.

Wavemaster Ryx:
Honored to see my blog on top of the recommendation list.

Femto photo:
This is how I actually expected this works. While taking a single ultra-short frame is possible, actually streaming any data to any memory device at this speed is not. So you don't record frame-by-frame at full resolution, instead you send a light pulse, then shot a photo at selected delay and combine the photos into actual movie.
Similar to this trick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqUNd5wPGbU except using pulses of femtosecond laser instead of droplets of water: "strobe" at the right frequency and you can get arbitrarily slow "motion".

I vote A with B being our unofficial name...

I think the final battle with the eater of souls will happen on a realm of existence beyond the physical. The only thing BJ will carry with her is a song, but only if she does redeem herself. The song she wields may become so strong I t may begin to slowly absolve the corruption from those forced to sing the eater's song. I think that discord will also have a part to play that is yet to come. I mean there is no way we have seen the last of him.

Small news. 12p into ch 50. Oh, and I have a job interview on Monday in Fallon. I probably won't get it, but we'll see. If I don't get the job then I'll be heading down to vegas.

And that video was amazing. So was the BJ art. You guys are so cool.

That's great to hear, on both accounts. I wish you the best of luck, sir! *gives you a gentle hug*

Well you've done a wonderful job with the blog, sir,
keeping it very interesting end enjoyable, so I'm happy to recommend it.

Even though my list kinda got buried in a hurry.

I love coming home from an evening to see insanity followed by news of progress. Cheers!

@Somber
Great news! Even if the prospect's a long shot, you never know. :) Good luck!

@Ryx
Thanks for those tumblr links, btw - my folder of "Ask" blog links is now large enough that Chrome complains every time I open them all at once. A good thing!
