    Technically, it’s very close to release, since I’ve decided to avoid adding anything more, so it’s just editing one last time and combining everything together. Unfortunately, editing will be a daunting, long task for a perfectionist like myself, so I keep procrastinating. And then I sometimes...

  2. On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    Nice to see Shiro and Gold interacting face-to-face; I'm curious to see Gold's ongoing questions about her mysterious junior. Glad to see someone's at least getting close to Shiro's true motivations. Good, they're noticing how she can improve, and they can bring it to her attention. There's...

  3. On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    I'm wondering, do racing umas tend to empathize with their race names? I get the feeling they do, especially since they tend to match the names from their past lives. If so, Shiro's disconnect from her racing name might be another source of dissonance between her and other umas. Like momentary...

  4. On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    Now I'm a bit worried (and curious) about what might happen if some of the more mischievous uma try to get back at Shiro by spooking her in turn. Shiro's keen senses would likely nip any such surprises in the bud, but if they did ever manage to scare her, they could get caught in the crossfire...

  5. On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    Maybe an admin will send out an email about an archery contest or a shooting gallery, or a similar club, something that's not usually intended for umas; they usually aren't interested, and their different vision focus (part of why Shiro has been so good at sneaking up on them) probably makes it...

  6. On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    You know, this gives me a great idea, building on my previous idea about admins accidentally sending Shirogane emails intended for human recipients. An email gets sent out informing trainers about a few other kinds of races happening, in case they're interested. Like perhaps a cross-country race...

  7. On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    It might be fun if something similar happens, either in a chapter or in an omake: there's an opening for something (an extracurricular activity, part-time job, volunteer project, supplementary class, etc.) intended for humans, but the admins get confused by Shirogane's name, mistake her for a...

  8. On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    I'm kind of hoping that Tanya will get involved in some sort of drama theater extracurricular - whether it's a part-time club or something that the school does for a cultural festival. Specifically a play that involves someone dying/getting killed. Because I can imagine Tanya correcting people...

  9. On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    Yeah, everyone's reactions to this development would be really fascinating.

  10. On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    So I'm wondering, how do umas typically view their race names? Given how they're normally the reincarnation of like-named race horses, I get the feeling that they view their names as naturally part of themselves, that it's truly their name. If so, Shiro's going to be a bit different, since she...

  11. On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    Not sure if this would really work outside of a gag omake, but imagine what would happen if there was a novelty hypnotist performance in the area, and Shirogane's comrades convince her to give it a shot to put her mindset in a drive to win. Only it works a bit too well, and they see just how...

  12. On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    That's what I mean. Shiro has the body of an Umamusume, and that includes the instinctual urge to run. But unlike other Umas, Tanya doesn't have a horse's soul to go with the body, so even if she enjoys running, she doesn't have a particular interest in racing, beyond its raw utility. That...

  13. On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    The tricky thing is that I get the feeling that Shirogane already anticipates this happening, and her solution is less of proving herself as a racer and more of having set up back-up plans for herself. She'll put in effort, of course, as she's dutiful and she doesn't quit and she wants to make...

  14. On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    Beyond Shirogane's lack of a strong drive/dream to race, I think there's something even bigger holding her back, something unthinkable for an uma: Tanya cannot see racing as something precious, something that truly matters. Think back to Chapter 5, and how Shiro's reaction to Steady Distance's...

  15. On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    So I'm wondering, what do we think is Shirogane's long-term game plan? Because she still thinks that her skills at a racer are just average overall. So I think she believes that her skill is enough to get her into Tracen thanks for her trainer, but not enough for her to last in the long-run. So...

  16. On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    What sorts of things do they teach for supporting runners? I'm wondering if Shirogane might try to use some of the skills for other purposes. Is it possible to take some classes at other schools? I did that sort of thing for a math class in college one summer, so Shirogane could maybe seize on...

  17. On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    So I'm wondering, are schools like Tracen solely racing focused, or do they have some other programs that students can theoretically take, too? That is, if they weren't of course more interested in racing. Outside mandatory scholarship classes, most uma probably take electives tailored to...

  18. Silver Swallow has passed away

    He was a good author. I remember especially liking his Fate time travel story with Archer, always hoping that he might come back to it someday. I wish him the best, wherever he has gone beyond this life.

  19. The Once and Future Champion (Baldur's Gate 3/Dragon Age) (Complete)

    I think this may very well be the first [good] BG3 crossover to reach completion and the end of the game. A momentous achievement, for sure.

  20. The Once and Future Champion (Baldur's Gate 3/Dragon Age) (Complete)

    I'm a little worried that Hawke's trick here - that Gortash's betrayal of Karlach counts as failing to remain true in dealings - isn't as certain as they think. First, the "remain true" portion could be interpreted as regarding future actions - so him selling out Karlach in the past wouldn't...
