About this blog

Not much of a blogger, but I like to use this for those very specific works of writing that just don't fit anywhere else and news updates that would not fit in a status update.

Strange MLP Site Dream

Yeah, I had a strange dream about an MLP site last night rather than MLP characters. In it, I was looking at my notifications on Derpibooru and saw that Rikifive (calling himself Rikifiveguy) had given this image of Princess Luna art with her wearing a shower cap and squeezing a rubber duck in a bathtub three dislikes. I was about to hit Rikifive up asking how and why he gave the image so many dislikes before I found I could give images as many likes or dislikes as I wanted. Mass downvoting imag

Strange Halloween Dream Featuring MLP G5 Characters

For the first time in my life last night, I had a dream about Halloween just in time for the holiday. I dreamed that I was in this apartment playing this Yu-Gi-Oh! game where I was rebuilding this AI partner's deck that had 80 cards for some reason. Jazz was there decorating the place for a Halloween party when I noticed that there was something behind this room. It led me to where my older brother and Sora were fighting this demon. We made it disappear somehow and Sora cried something out, lead

Terrifying Nightmares: Suffocation

Guess I'm making a blog series out of these horrific nightmares since they just keep coming. I was fully expecting one for the Halloween season though. This time, I dreamed last night that I met the ghost of a girl in an elevator. I had to solve some kind of puzzle that led to me bending nails with my teeth. I went to another floor and came back in the elevator, where the ghost told me I was going to die. She used a telekinetic power to try and stab the nails I had in my mouth through my throat

Top 10 Bunk Criticisms of MLP G5

I made a top 10 list of the fallacious G5 criticisms I'm most tired of reading.  https://www.deviantart.com/cloudmistdragon/art/Top-10-Bunk-Criticisms-of-MLP-G5-931961860 I am no stranger to the fact that G5 gets a good amount of criticism. If you’ve read my re-assessment of Make Your Mark’s pilot, you’ve probably already inferred this. I know this generation receives some valid points of criticism that I do understand. However, it also receives a lot of invalid points of criticism. In

Eerily Timed Hunter X Hunter Dream

I had a dream last night about Hunter X Hunter coming back. It was about me reading this volume where Kurapika was having to deal with this crazy, evil cannibal family (shockingly, it was the kind of thing I could imagine actually happening in the series considering) and then going on to read this author's note at the end by Yoshihiro Togashi explaining about why the series had been on its longest hiatus yet. Boy, was I PO'd when I woke up and realized the dream wasn't real. Then later, I found

Tell Your Tale: Bottom 5 & Top 10 Episodes/Every Episode Ranked

So after re-watching the entire series of Tell Your Tale in celebration of Make Your Mark’s second chapter premiering soon, I decided to make a Bottom 5/Top 10 list of every episode so far, as well as a ranking of every episode. The reason I’m only doing five for the bottom is because no episode of the show is actually bad, just weak in comparison to the good-quality episodes we normally get. To ensure the fairest judgment I could, I made sure to re-assess every episode, and lo and behold, my op

MLP G5 Make Your Mark: A Re-Assessment of the Pilot

This was already posted in the Make Your Mark pilot thread, but it's been a long time since I last posted a review in a blog post, so here you go.  https://www.deviantart.com/mistybrightshadow/art/Make-Your-Mark-Chapter-1-Review-970891594 The pilot special to the MLP G5 series, Make Your Mark, deserves more credit than what it’s generally given. I don’t believe that to be a particularly controversial statement, given the evidence that shows this special is actually generally regarded b

Another Horrific Nightmare: Warzone

Had a nightmare last night that I think might have been worse than the one with my mother and the guns. I dreamt that I was a kid again and my dad was still with my mom. A war had erupted in my country and my parents had to pack everyone in the car to drive us to a "safe place". We drove through this warzone filled with snow, fire, and explosions to this "safe place" that turned out to be a prison. I started screaming at the top of my lungs at my parents as the prison guards restrained me and th

Strange MLP G5 Dream

I had another strange pony-related dream last night. This time, it took place in the realm of G5 with everything animated Tell Your Tale style. Hitch had Sunny come up to him and tell him she needed him to call out for work for something she wanted all of her friends to do. For some reason, Hitch had a boss he needed to call to explain a situation to, and because he's a workaholic who had never called out of work before in this dream apparently, he stood by the phone the entire day hesitating ne

Worst Nightmare of My Life

Back in 2017, my mom went completely nuts and came up to my room with a gun, talking about killing her boss. Last night, I had a nightmare where something similar happened. She came up to me pointing a gun and I pointed a gun back. Then she pulled out another gun, and all of a sudden, she gave me both guns and told me to shoot her. Short nightmare, but easily the scariest one I've had in my life.

Returning to Full-Time At Work

So after a year of working part-time, I'm finally back to working full-time at work again. The reason it took this long, a year opposed to the half of a year it should've taken, is because there were no full-time spots open for quite some time. Since it's been a year, it's obviously going to take some time to adapt to doing full-time again, but this is something I need more than ever now, especially with the insanity of rising prices I'm sure everyone's familiar with. Obviously, I will also be c

Freaky Dream: Mugged by the Mafia

I dreamed last night that I was touring Rome with my uncle. As we were about to enter this temple, these two guys from the mafia dressed in black suits pointed guns at us, telling us to get down on the ground and give them all of our money. I kneeled down on the ground, but I didn't have my wallet on me, so I was just about to reach into my pockets to show I didn't have anything. However, just then, my uncle tried to fight the other mobster with his own gun. He took a bullet to the leg while he

Strange MLP Dream

I had the weirdest pony-related dream last night. In it, King Sombra was on this snowy plain looking up at the moon. Three eyes were on the moon with yellow, blue, pink, and white colors. A fourth eye appeared on it, and something that looked like Pinkie Pie's soul appeared in that eye when the view moved closer to the moon. When the view moved back to Sombra, he had this concerned look on his face before souls came out of the eyes on the moon and went into his eyes, turning them green with his

Lots of Good News Lately! Got My PS5 and Another Work Award!

A lot of you probably saw from my status updates that I finally got a PS5!  When I told my friend from Puerto Rico in a Discord chat today, he literally couldn't believe it. Here are the pictures in case you missed the status updates.  Admittedly, I did have to get it for $670 instead of $500 on eBay, but it was by far the best deal I had seen after keeping an eye on it for months. Something else good you might have seen from a status update yesterday was my work ditching a verificati

My Personal 2021 Retrospect

“I’m prepared for whatever hell the world will throw at me in 2021.” Well, I’m glad I was prepared, since this year, in my honest and humble opinion, was even worse for the world than 2020. However, for my personal life, it honestly wasn’t a major downgrade. There were downgrades, of course, the most notable one, no surprise if you keep up with my status updates and blogs, being work this year. The labor crisis and the inflation crisis combined really screwed with my job this year, jus

Tao: Strange Dream

Something really weird happened to me in a dream last night. It was 3:45 AM in the morning. I got the Collection of SaGa: Final Fantasy Legend for a discount price at the Nintendo eShop and was trying to think of names for my characters for a replay of Final Fantasy Legend I. The name, Tao, came to mind because I like the character, Tao Ren, from Shaman King, a stellar animanga series that has recently been re-released. For some odd reason, I looked up the word, "Tao", and started reading a few

MLP G5 Movie: A New Accidental Masterpiece

Yeah, I loved the G5 movie so much more than I expected, a brief summary of my thoughts in the review thread wasn't enough for me. This is my full review.

Bad News, Good News

I have been working again for a while, in case you didn't know from at least one status I made. While I can finally guarantee that my job is secure, it's not all sugar and rainbows. I did unfortunately have to go back to Macy's, HOWEVER, I do honestly feel I should give the job another chance. Not only did the other jobs I tried going to treat me worse, they have made changes to their policies lately and I learned that what happened that night I decided to leave wasn't what I thought.

Every Video Game I've Beaten

My 25th birthday’s coming up soon, so I thought I might as well list off every video game I’ve beaten in my life. This list does not include online flash games, no Tiger Electronic games, no Team Fortress 2 or Fortnite, no speedrun of Cookie Clicker, just all the official, single-player games that I have beaten (or in rare cases like with a few PC games, at least played extensively, as a few of the games listed can not technically be beaten) across every gaming platform I’ve played since I was a

Feeling Very Anxious, Tired of This Work Debacle

I hate blogging about stuff like this, but I just can not believe how garbage my luck has been with work ever since I quit Macy's and it's driving me nuts. I thought I was doing the right thing after I saw that guy who was mistreated break down on the floor and start punching a pole, I thought I could get something better with all these places that are now hiring, but my luck with getting work has just been so unbelievably bad.

Got Another Job

I put in my two-weeks notice to quit Macy's today after I got sick of the management there getting smarmier and smarmier in order to compete with Amazon. I am now employed with Marathon, who set me up with a job at Bell-Carter. Even if this new job I have boxing potato chips doesn't do it for me, I can still get signed up for another one. Regardless, I will not support mistreatment of people with serious medical conditions, I refuse.

My Personal 2020 Retrospect

Although 2020 has been one of the worst years for the world in recent history, and I have to give my condolences to you if you had a terrible year, I do want to write a short overview of all the significant things that happened to me.  Not too long after the year began, I got my first full-time promotion at work. I never missed a single week of work the entire year and by the middle of the year, I was slated to get a raise. I didn't get it this year because of what I already explained in an

I Reached My Savings Goal for This Year!

Even though 2020 has been one nightmarish year for the world, things continue to look up for my personal life. Like everyone else, I have not been spared the wrath of the growing civil unrest and CIAH!. I had to indefinitely swear off discussing sensitive issues six months ago after I kept getting attacked over trivial matters and the company I work for lost one billion dollars from the pandemic, costing me the raise I would've received. I was able to get incentive pay though, being yet to take

I Got Featured on FIMFiction!

It just came to my attention that Windigo Whisperer has been featured on FIMFiction.net!  I just discovered this when I was browsing the Featured section out of curiosity, wondering how the story was able to get 1,000 views so quickly, and here I find my dream from eight years ago finally coming true!  I can't explain why this story has been so successful...but people have shown their support for it, so I'm going to thank them by continuing to give them what they want!

I Got a Commission Offer for My Newest Story!

I mentioned in a status update that I couldn't believe I just wrote a 3,000-word pilot for a Human in Equestria story about Windigos. I have not read a single HiE story in recent times besides I Am Not Sombra and only very recently decided to take a shot in the dark at the genre. What I can't believe even more than what I wrote is how something I felt was guaranteed to bomb horribly has been received so positively that an artist actually left a comment wanting to do a commissioned cover for the
