The Former King

Can’t believe it took me so long to post about this. I found these little guys in my backyard under the wood pile. Apparently the one of the feral cats I feed gave birth to a litter of four kittens and choose to keep them close to where the food was.

She trusted me enough to be near them while feeding them (and to let me pet her from time to time). Of course, I couldn’t just let them all be out in the cold like this, so I had planned to get them and the mother indoors until I could find homes for them. Buuuuuut by the time I had everything I needed to get started, she had moved them elsewhere. So, I thought that was the end of it. UNTIL ALMOST TWO MONTHS LATER

For the longest time I was hesitant to get the shots. Not because I hate needles or am an anti-vaxxer, but in the back of my mind I was always worried that someone would need it more then me, who has no wife or kids or even an important job. But not only did I eventually realize not only was that a really stupid reason, but with me being protected against it would reduce the chance of me spreading it to other people.

So I made him one.

       Through poking around, Topaz was surprised to find something akin to a magic mirror lying in the middle of nowhere. He had read of these type of artifacts while studying under his mentor, and even seeing his mentor use them as a way of transporting from place to place. He blinked, testing the mirror’s surface with his hoof, but instead went through it. He bit his lip, fully stepping into the mirror and glancing around at his new surroundings. It looked like Equestria, but something felt off. He began to walk through the foliage as he kept his guard up.

“...Hmm?” Sombra heard an unfamiliar voice he never heard before outside his tower while in his study on the ground floor. It was unusual for somepony who didn’t know he was here to be wandering around in his relatively tamed part of the Everfree. Setting down the book he was reading, he got up from his chair and went outside, being sure to shut the door behind him. Following the sound of foliage rustling, he found another stallion, who vaguely reminded him of a certain somepony but had no trace of dark aura around him, wandering around his garden.

I saw it last night. It was pretty fine. The plot felt kind of rushed in some places, particularly the beginning, and some the actors weren’t that great, but overall I found it enjoyable. I loved the various easter eggs that referenced the Sonic Fanchise, and found myself laughing at some of the jokes (I don’t laugh a lot even when I find something funny, so that in itself is worth mentioning). And good lord, I loved Jim Carry’s portrayal of Robotnick there was never a dull moment when he was on screen.
