are there any characters of yours that you've been thinking about a lot recently? i know you mentioned drawing leonidas recently and i always love hearing about that little weirdo. whats their deal (i never know where to start talking about ocs either ;_;)

Thank u for the ask ^.^ Leonidas I think of often because I made him to be very self indulgent For Me specifically (ie: lesbian failprince). here's the doodle I made of him recently after my friend misremembered me sending a drawing of him (I want to colour it at some point)

You know that genre of anime character thats like, a prince or otherwise wealthy guy who's always covered in sparkles and roses except he's a comic relief character and everything thinks he's a huge weirdo. Leonidas is based on that trope because I enjoy it when the elegant royal characters are huge losers <3 Leonidas does everything in his power to try and come off as genuine royalty, but he's very obviously a fake prince. Interestingly though, the sword he carries around with him is a genuine article, an ancient weapon that was well-preserved </3 no one knows how he got it (I know how he got it but its a secret >:) ) he's very much obsessed with princehood and heroism and tells many stories of himself doing all kinds of heroic deeds, like slaying legendary beasts or finding items that once belonged to the gods. And he's a Very good storyteller!! There is love and passion in the tales he tells. But it's also very, very, very obvious he's kind of making things up. Things don't add up in his stories, though he would never acknowledge that openly.... Other than Leonidas I've been thinking about Tezeu and Azusa

Tezeu (blonde) is a genuine prince, but he was born from an affair in a distant land and thus never a part of a the royal family. Azusa (bull-masked) is also a genuine prince but he was feared due to a birthmark on his face which resembles the birthmark of an evil ancient priest named Mammon and was later exiled under suspicions of murder (of which he didn't commit </3 ) They're dealing with the fact that they're both of royal blood but not truly "princes" in very different ways... Tezeu wants honour and glory and to be worshipped and to be a king (even though he definetly doesn't know how to), and would do almost anything to achieve that because he's obsessed with the idea of leaving a legacy of some kind. Azusa on the other hand has just been chilling, life for him is actually much calmer and kinder now that he's been exiled, and while he does miss some things he had before he's not so terribly bothered by it... Though Azusa and Tezeu are very close friends (homoerotic), this is something they have difficulty understanding one another on. (PS If you ever wanna just talk about ur OCs you are more than welcome to talk to me about them, I love to hear about other people's creations)

#ask hope #scream sorry this ended up being so long </3 #(also just putting this here for reference)#Leonidas uses they / he #Tezeu uses he / they #Azusa uses she / he

i write stuff every day for voltron and i think i do a pretty good job tbh. this one is my favourite work:

if you think that’s good, hit me up! here’s my ao3 as well: negativefouriq

[Photo I.D.: Screenshot of a work on Archive Of Our Own.

Title: ‘Baby, You’re My Stability’

Author: negativefouriq

Fandom: Voltron Legendary Defender

Publication Date: 01 June 2022

Summary: Lance could walk silently through the halls of a military institution, deftly avoiding every camera and well-placed guard. He moved with elegance and with the grace of — well, a dancer. If he didn’t want to be heard, you didn’t hear him.

He also tripped over nothing on a regular basis and walked into almost every wall. It was astounding.

could u make a list of ur fav cats suit, how can I say it... Like, suit + makeup + wig... Ur favorites cats styles (?

Absolutely I can! Good question, let me see...

Okay my opinions on this are kinda boring because I like neutral and subdued colour palettes (warning I like yellow and gold so...most costumes I love are some variation of these shades). I will sort this into Tom and Queen costumes.

Toms

-Asparagus (Chorus Costume)

The list starts with me being predictable, of course, but what I appreciate about Asparagus' chorus costume is that it is, arguably, the most unique one while still blending relatively easily into the background due to its otherwise unremarkable colour palette/wig (like there is nothing all that special about his unitard design or wamers or tail, I’m aware). Most of the cats, in order to fluff out the human neckline, have the "shoulder fluffies". Asparagus is the only one who has what I will affectionately call the "yarn poncho", which comes in various thicknesses but I prefer this kind:

And, occasionally, yarn threaded pants:

Which are delightfully ugly gives him an even shaggier/fluffier appearance and I love it. The only other individuals who have manes/shaggy coats are Tugger and Old Deuteronomy (and Grizabella technically), but none of them have this detail in their original chorus costume, just their main character costume. This detail was removed from the 1998 Video (unknown as to why since Tony Timberlake wore it on stage), and from the Broadway Revival (probably because Asparagus pretty much disappears early on in favour of Gus being a permanent fixture instead). A shame really, because it makes him immediately recognizable and easy to pick out.

The quality of his makeup varies for me since the whole purpose is to make it easy to paint over for Gus and Bustopher changes (Much like Plato). For some versions that means he's completely white in the face with little dimension, but I prefer when they add subtle details like striping or line work.

-Alonzo (Broadway and Broadway Based)

I have expressed before and I will express again that my unpopular CATS opinion is that I overall prefer Broadway based "golden" Alonzo costumes (and character) over London based black and white ones. This is absolutely not to say that I dislike the London costume because that isn't true. I like it very much it's very striking. But I think I prefer the golden Alonzo costumes because:

A. There is something very visually pleasing to me about gold and black Alonzos being paired with gold and black Demeters, and a Gold/Silver protector duo.

B. I like the earthy palette, the dual-toned muzzle, the fluffy tail, and the warmers (it makes for a more muted image when Alonzo is slinking around in the BG, particularly when shadowing Demeter)

C. The gold/black/brown is, imho, far more flattering to a variety of different skin tones than the clown white is. The neutral colour palette ties the makeup together very nicely, particularly when patches of skin are left bare (like on the face or the hands), as it often continues into the costume itself giving the whole ensemble more unity.

Also I just like it? I don't know why.

- Skimbleshanks (London Chorus and Number)

Skimble's costume is one of those that I like both chorus and character version of, because they're both very well coordinated palette wise. I love the chunky, organic weaves in his warmers and tail. I love the vest and the little bell! I love the complexity of his makeup, which is one of the hardest to do in the show. The wig can be very hit or miss for me depending on how it's styled. Some of the more recent wigs in the revivals and tours haven't been great tbh.

Skimble also has the benefit of having my favourite arm warmers in the show when they look like this (because elbow patches):

I want a pair. I should make myself a pair. But the patches daunt me.

Honourable Mention goes to the hundreds of Austrian crystals and stones that are hand attached to Mr. Mistoffelees' velvet costume during his number (of which Marlene Danielle collected when they fell off on stage and kept them in a vase in her dressing room) because sparkly *_*.

Queens

-Demeter (Broadway based)

The only notable difference between London and Broadway Demeter's are the styling of the wigs and I LOVE the much more exaggerated spikey, punk-like styling of these wigs let me tell you. If she doesn't look like there are three tons of gel in her hair it isn't spikey enough.

I feel like it gives her character an edge, which is a nice contrast to the overall softness of her makeup. There's also a simplicity to Demeter's makeup design that is well complemented by the more complex patterns on her unitard.

Though Bomba’s design is very similar, I prefer Demeter’s for whatever reason. I just like golds and yellows, I guess. I think the only thing I don’t like about Demeter’s design is her lipstick (particularly when it’s red) because I find it sticks out too much and looks odd.

-Jellylorum (Original Paris)

I have spoken about her before, but I love how elegant this design is. The Original Paris wigs are my favourite wigs (because I like big wigs I cannot lie), and ones that were styled like Jelly’s were particular favourites:

Like she’s still classic Jellylorum colours but the warmers soften her silhouette while the wig and makeup sweep her features up. It’s just a very beautiful design to me, idk why.

-Rumpleteazer (Japan)

I don't need to explain myself here. Look at how cute she is:

I love the tiger stripes and I love her wig and I love her makeup. I do like the garter belt straps of the London design, but I can live without them. I wish her pearls were white to make them stand out a bit more like in the London design though.

Honestly I love a lot of the CATS costumes so it’s difficult to narrow them down, but I would definitely put these particular characters in the top ten.

She would be safe here, her uncle had told her, when she’d boarded the ship. It had been a warm day, and all the Court had gathered to the shore to wish her well, as she boarded the ship.

Princesses didn’t cry, that’s what her mother said. But safe? Safe from who? She had wanted to ask. Before her father had died, she’d had no enemies, or at least she hadn’t thought she did. But now, it seemed, enemies were all she had.

Myrcella had been fearful long before she faced death in the straits past the broken Arm of Dorne. She’d been afraid since her father had been killed, since her uncle Jaime had ridden away to war. Even the arrival of her uncle, who always had made her laugh, did not ease her anxiety, for he soon proved himself no different from all the others her mother had warned her against.

But the ship had gotten her here, in the end - though she’d become seasick before they’d even left the harbour, and the lighthouse had receded into the distance. The galley was one of the finest in the fleet, and her mother had explained that it did not become becalmed like naves and busses that relied solely upon sails - intact, it had two banks of oars on each side of the ship, and Myrcella had nodded, and pretended she hadn’t been scared by how low it rode in the water, and no longer worried about where she was going, because she was certain she’d never survive the sea voyage.

During the day, she’d huddled miserably in a corner of the deck, immune even to Rosamund’s attempts to cheer her up, trying to settle her queasy stomach by nibbling on the twice-baked ships biscuits. The nights were by far the worst, and Myrcella dreaded to see the sun sink into the sea behind them. She slept poorly, kept awake by the creaking and groaning of the ship’s timbers, the relentless pounding of the waves against the hull, the snoring of the crew, and the skittering sounds made by mice and rats - unseen in the darkness. Lying awake as the hours dragged by until dawn, scratching flea bites ad blinking back tears as she remembered the peaceful and familiar life that had once been hers.

At first, Pentos had seemed like a paradise after the ship. She fancied that she’d never seen a city as beautiful as Pentos, and was astounded that people could live in such comfort and luxury. The city was set in a fertile plain of olive groves and date palms, it’s size equal to King’s Landing if not larger still. She was impressed by the limestone houses that gleamed in the sun like white doves, by the number of public baths, the orchards of exotic fruit that she’d never tasted; oranges, limes, lemons and pomegranates. But it was the palaces of the magisters that utterly dazzled her, as she gazed at them with eyes which stung from held-back tears and the dust of a six-day journey, ringing the city like a necklace of opulent, shining pearls, not a thought given to fortification or warfare, only comfort.

Ilyrio Mopantis was a power in Pentos, perhaps ‘the’ power, and one of the richest men in all the world - a cheesemonger, according to her uncle, who had dismissed the man just like that. It was hard for her to imagine a merchant commanding such respect - she doubted grandfather would have spat on the man - he was in trade, too fat to ride or fight, and excessively vulgar in his displays of wealth, which grandfather had always said was the mark of a weak man trying to look like something he wasn’t. But Myrcella didn’t think Ilyrio was a weak man. His extensive estate was was situated on the southern slope of the Free City, a mile and a half above the crossing of the Ure and Cover rivers, in a percent which held palaces, temples, gardens, fountains, shrines, a menagerie of exotic animals, and the ruins of an ancient Valerian amphitheatre. Ilyrio’s estate was high above the city, flanked by two sturdy totes. A red marble staircase led to the first floor, which was splendidly decorated with vivid mosaic depictions of hunters, leopards, lions, centaurs and peacocks. Her father had taken her to all sorts of places, when the mood was upon him, and she’d come to the conclusion that nobody in all the world lived as well as Lord Tyrell, but she now knew better.

He might have been a cheesemonger, but his coffers were filled with the finest silks, his chambers lit by lamps of brass and crystal and scented by silver incense burners. He bathed in a tin bathtub big enough even for his ponderous bulk, read books that’s covers were studded with gemstones, his pets were walked through gardens fragrant with late-blooming flowers, shaded by citrus trees and adorned with elegant marble fountains. He even had a table of solid gold, set with silver plate and delicacies like sugar-coated almonds, dates, hazelnuts, melons, figs, pomegranates, oranges, shrimp, and marzipan tortes. Myrcella could not imagine a more luxurious world then the one Ilyrio languorously spent his days.

So it took her by surprise when she realised she hated it, and everything it stood for.

She had not wanted to leave King’s Landing, did not want to leave Tyrion who mother hated but always had a kind word for her, did not want to leave her mother and little brother either. Still less did she want to join the household of the Ilyrio Mopantis, who was grossly fat and wore so much perfume that the fact he still smelled bad (sour, like spoiled meat) was probably some sort of achievement. Myrcella couldn’t speak to anyone - they didn’t speak her language, which meant if she wanted to talk to anyone, it had to be the horrible fat man, and she wasn’t allowed to leave the Estate.

There were times when she wondered if her mother had sent her here, to the end of the world, because she didn’t want her anymore. In a dizzying turn of time, the world as she had known it was forever changed. Her father had died, so quickly she hadn’t come to terms with it before it had happened. The stories had been dramatic in the extreme and so embroidered upon in the telling that fact and fiction had become inextricably entwined. And then, within months, she was sent across the world to the custody of a man she’d never heard of.

The days in the estate that followed were the loneliest of her life. She was woefully homesick, had no friends (Ilyrio had wasted no time sending Rosamund away), she couldn’t communicate with the servants, and there were no other children.

Determined not to shame herself before these indifferent adversaries, Myrcella applied himself grimly to her studies, passed the morning hours practicing her penmanship, stammering over Valerian verbs, practicing her stitching and familiarising herself with The Government of Kings and Princes.

After supper, she was occasionally ushered into the private solar of the Cheesemonger, with his dark watery eyes (that she thought were blue), his oiled beard, and yellow teeth, to make stilted and ‘courtly’ conversation while he reminisced and kept his eyes on her. And then she retired to the quarters all alone, to struggle silently to swallow the lump of misery that rose relentlessly in her throat each night, that she dared not allow to escape in that most disgraceful of all sounds, a muffled sob. Each night she won her war; each day her battle began anew.

And then, gradually, her life begins to become more bearable. It isn’t hard to put together how this happened. His new ward - he calls himself Griff, but she is sure he’s a nobleman. He must be.

He is no taller than she is, but he was furiously brave, and though she never let him know it she admired him. He was slight and for some reason he dyed his hair blue (which she teased him for unmercifully), and utterly determined to become a great knight. He would tell her stories of her home, stories about Symon Star-Eyes and the Mirroshield, stories of gallantry and chivalry which he read to her as if they were accounts of real people.

When she asked him about it, he had told her, so seriously that she could not doubt it for as long as she lived; “Princess Baratheon, there is nothing more important in the world than a knight’s honour. I would rather die than be dishonoured.”

They didn’t have real horses over on this part of the sea, but Ilyrio had provided him with a pony, which he (for he’s allowed out) rides as if he were heading for a cavalry charge; he was desperate to grow big and strong enough for a weapon and armour, desperate to. Desperate to grow up, to be able to live up to the impossible ideal of knighthood. Myrcella understood this, but she never told him that – he would have mistaken her sympathy for pity, and would never forgive it.

Some things are better never spoken: it was enough to know that the two of them both dreamed of great things, and that nobody else could have be allowed to guess that they dreamed of greatness.

It is a year, before he asks her to run away with him. He’s tired, he tells her, tired of the lies and pretences, tired of things he only believed because he didn’t know enough to question. He’s ready for something real, with her.

She never told him why she agreed, that she is tired too. Some things are better unspoken.

U're dressed casual & in line to pay at mall. In front of u is man well dressed in suit & tie. In front of him are uf/sf skelebros. He tells them to hurry up. He keeps harassing them that freaks shouldn't waste his time & even threatens them to go back where filths belong. U say, "enough!" but he tells u not to talk back to him 'cause he's in high profile position, as he shows his business card; u show urs. He goes pale; u're owner of his workplace. U tell him he's fired. How skeles react?

{ I imagine some ThugLife song playing when S/O enter, bitching around-! }

💀 Reddy 💀

He was ready to kickthe ass of that racist jerk, before you came.

Actually, Sans did notexcept some assistance from anyone, he was not used to be helped because wherehe lived the rule that was always applied “kill or to be killed” was the onlyone he knew. In that context nobody would have helped him, maybe someone wouldhave gave to him the killing blow, so he always took care of himself alone. Hewas surprised seeing your behaviour towards him.

At first, he thoughtyou were going to attack him, too. Difficulty, Sans could trust to someone soit was legitimate for him thinking that you were a piece of shit like that man,but he was wrong. After your moves, he found you badass enough to have hisrespect, but he did not thank you, and you said to Sans that you have only doneyour job and you could not tolerate discrimination neither for joke.

You were truly a goodperson, but Sans felt embarrassed so he decided to invite you for a drink, itwas his way to thank you because he was a walking disaster in socializing.

Sans declared alsothat he was able to fight against that guy, and he would not have been sogentle like you. Not being a fan of any type of violence, you explained to himthat you did not want to see battles in your mall. He did not understand somuch, nodding causally. Then, Sans remembered that in the surface the rules weredifferent and he could not beat people down for hobby, and you were the boss inthis mall. You decided and he could not complain since he was here. It seemed,you were capable to be badass in your pacifistic way, it was quite cool to him!

💀 The Edge Lord 💀

Papyrus felt offended bythe man’s sentence. How did this peasant dare being so rude with the FerociousPapyrus? Maybe he did not know with whom he was talking to. Papyrus, beingsuperior to this shit with legs, decided not to use violence, even if his voicewas still loud and intimidating (everyone would run away for the terror), butthis man continued showing him his card. Papyrus did not give a shit about it,this man was still rude and stupid if he did not allow to the great Papyrus toshopping here. Papyrus was so near to lose his temper, after one minute was alreadyenough.

Then, you appeared;lecturing that man about his disgraceful behaviour, saying how impolite andrude he was and that you cannot tolerate racist’s manifestations in your mall since you were the principal figure here. You said that this man was risking losinghis job if you would have seen another action like this from him. The man, withhis tail between his legs, went away silenced by your authority.

Papyrus was still thereobserving the scene, surprised and gloating. He simply liked the way you commanded him, showing a resolute iron fist.

Papyrus did not thank you,neither by mistake, he said that you should learn to engage your employees. He thoughtthat it was your duty helping a guest even if Papyrus was able to resolve thesituation by himself, your presence was not necessary. Now he was the one whoseemed rude, but you kept being polite and helpful since he was still a client. Then, you decided to offer a drink toPapyrus like an apologies for this inconvenient. It could be a marketingstrategy, but Papyrus was so flattered anyway, if his ego was pumped up, he felthappy.

💀 Blackberry 💀

Here, the situation wasmore problematic because Sans took things so personally, so he was attackingwith his bones attacks the racist man, making him pay for this insolence.

Sans did not care ifhe said to be the boss of this place: none disrespects the magnificent Sans.That man was already dead. We hope he has written his testament, and no member of his family is going to recognise him if Sans would reduce him in littlepieces.

Then, you intervenedscreaming that this was not an arena and the both of them must stop this chaosand behave like the adult they were. Sans thought, you were going to attackhim, so he prepared a new bone-attack, but you stayed there, asking for anexplanation. Your tone was serious and authoritarian, saying you were the realboss of the mall and their behaviours were unacceptable because somebody couldget hurt by all this violence. Sans and the man explained the real facts, andyou were angry with the both of them. You fired the man because every racist’sactions were not welcome here, and Sans was laughing seeing the poor face ofthe man. Then, you have bandit Sans from this place because he seemed toodangerous, you thought he was a sort of criminal. Not because he was a monster,but he was throwing bones everywhere breaking shop’s windows and scaring allthe clients. Sans felt offended again, but maybe he had exaggerated a little.You have respected his honour because you fired that rude man, so he did notknow what to do now. Apologies were not his speciality, so he acted cold andrude.

The days after, hecame to your job again, leaving on your desk a letter of apologies, sayingthat he would pay all the damages he did. Actually, his brother helped him towrite this because Sans felt too nervous and proud for doing it alone. Thetruth was that Sans has developed an interest towards you when he saw you so determinateand secure of your power.

💀 Rus 💀

Papyrus was alarmed becausehe did not do anything wrong, he was waiting his turn to pay, patiently, until aman came acting rude and racist towards him. Really, he did not want to discusswith that kind of people even if it could have been funny because they were toostupid, so it seemed the skeleton did not have any other choice. Papyrus saidto the man that he was acting like an ignorant and very rude, and this was afree nation, where humans and monsters lived together. The past was already goneand that man has lost a lot of time above the clouds if he did not realize itby himself. Papyrus was asking for too much to that man who was not so smart tounderstand his own idiocy.

The passive-aggressivebehaviour of Papyrus appeared elegant and refined, showing all the intelligencehe got because he would have never gone to his low level. Papyrus did not careif he proclaimed himself as the boss, because Papyrus was still a guest andevery guest should be treated with respect and equality. Then, you came,lecturing the man’s behaviour since you were the real boss here and the man gotembarrassed feeling like the shit he was. You apologised to Papyrus for thebehaviour of your employee, because it was so unfair, you felt so sorry butPapyrus said it was not a problem, but he suggested to you that you shouldchose better your workers next time. You asked to Papyrus if you could offer tohim a coffee for this bad experience, he accepted because you seemed a niceperson. This is the proof that from bad things can born also good things, likemeeting a new friend.

June Feature: Top 10 Harmony URs for Johnny

Those of you unfamiliar with the CCG player archetypes which were first established for Magic: the Gathering may be unfamiliar with the significance of this article’s title. I would advise you to take a quick look around the Internet for some explanations, of which there are many. While attempting to break down any broad population into clean categories is always a tricky exercise, the Magic archetypes have been pretty successful over the course of their tenure. And that’s why I start writing this article and tell you that I really am a Johnny player. (Except for the few short weeks around cons when Spike shows up a little.) I love being challenged by cards, and seeing puzzles that can be solved. A card that’s just straight-up good isn’t much fun. It’s the cards that you have to work with, to tease out in just the right way to reveal their beauty, those are the good ones.

So what follows is most definitely not a list of my Top 10 URs in Harmony. What follows instead is a list of my Top 10 URs for Johnnys. I settled on three criteria for cards that I would use to judge which ones fell under the label:

Cards that apply symmetric effects, i.e. things that are either a boon or a penalty to both players. The trick with these cards is usually to build a deck that ignores the penalty or consistently takes advantage of the boon.

Cards that create “side-grade” effects, which aren’t obviously useful on their face. Giving more power or extra colours is an obviously useful thing. Changing traits on other cards is not so obviously useful.

Cards with powerful abilities that are locked behind significant restrictions. For these, the trick is building a deck that can consistently get around those restrictions and show off the true power of the card beneath.

I’ve limited this list to only Ultra Rares firstly to limit the work I had to do putting it together, but also because URs are generally where we expect to find strange, quirky cards that might fit the criteria listed above. Ultra Rares are so very rarely simple that there’s always a wealth of experimentation to be done in nearly every new set. And sure, sometimes you get a Staff or a Carbo Loader that just goes in everything, but then those cards just won’t make the list. So let’s get to it.

#10 Philomena, Bird of a Feather (PR)

Way back in Premier, we got the first card in the game that was capable of altering the traits of other cards. We didn’t get another one until Absolute Discord, which honestly is a bit of a shame. Philomena’s role in creating Critters specifically during the Score Phase has admittedly only a few limited uses, but those uses are still pretty cool. A good choice these days is something like Cratus, which with Philomena can retire any Friend at the Problem for the point (including Cratus itself, if that’s needed at any time). In her time, though, Philomena suffered from not having very many cards that could take advantage of her effect. Only Goldie Delicious, Cat Hoarder (CN) and Beast Bulk Up (AD) really fit the bill. But this still is a card that I keep in the back of my head.

#9 Starlight Glimmer, Enforced Equality (EO)

Oftentimes, the best cards happen when flavour aligns with power. “Big Glimmer” here, as I’ve affectionately nicknamed her, is an impressive confluence of the two concepts. Forcing all characters at her Problem down to an equal two Power is of course wonderfully flavourful, and at the same time it creates a card with a built-in choice. Starlight does something that very few Epics in the game do: she stymies traditional Farming decks while still being viable for non-traditional Farming decks to use. Wide styles like Thorax or unorthodox styles like Professor Sparkle can take advantage of her two points just fine, while Applejack is left with naught to rely on but a flip. Personally, I think we could use a fair bit more of cards like this.

#8 Ember, Up to the Challenge (DE)

Another thing which can often be appreciated about card design is when we get a card with an amount of elegance to it, and as much as Ember herself might object to being called elegant, this is a card which wraps up a nice amount of flavour, too. Of all the cards on this list, this is probably the most straightforwardly powerful one. Ember’s ability to boost your power in any faceoff, regardless of location or who started it or anything, is just great. But I simply can’t get over the comparison between this card and a card like Spitfire, Drilling it In (DE). Rather than having a veritable pile of abilities to overwhelm you with her utility, Ember has just one nice, clean ability, but you’ll still be overwhelmed by the number of things that you can do with her.

#7 Trenderhoof, Trailblazer (AD)

Now, sure, this card has caused a lot of trouble for the game, so you could certainly start a legitimate debate about whether or not Trailblazer is actually a well-designed card. It’s certainly an audacious card, in its extreme potentially encouraging some sort of quasi-Highlander deck that finds a way to consistently get Trailblazer into play to mess with the opponent’s plays. In this way, it’s a perfect example of Criterion 1 above: a symmetrical effect that you really have to build around to take advantage of. The combo decks which have utilized him did just that, taking advantage of the game’s rules to allow free dismissals on their own Friends. Again, we can talk separately about the decks that this card has enabled, but any card that allows tinkering around with the rules in that way is cool in my book.

#6 Pinkie Pie, Distracting Cheerer (CG)

Distracting Cheerer really is the epitome of Criterion 3 above, a powerful effect that can really swing a turn, but with the chief restriction that the card itself has no built-in way to activate the effect. Essentially, Distracting Cheerer gives us a lock, and we have to build a deck that can consistently provide the key. And there are a whole bunch of different ways that you can do this. Orange-Pink might like it a lot, actually, exhausting Pinkie to Muffin Mare maybe, and crushing a resulting faceoff because of it. Or you could stretch into some other colours to make it work. Either way, Pinkie Pie simply demands creativity in her use, and that means that there’s a real payoff for players like me, when we can make her work.

#5 Nightmare Star (AD)

In many respects, Nightmare Star is exactly what I would think an Epic Troublemaker should be: a high-powered Troublemaker with a big point score and a global effect that neither player can ignore. Sometimes, Nightmare Star can just wreck a deck, eliminating the usefulness of most of its key tools, especially these days with so many AT-generators running around. Meanwhile, of course, the challenge is on the player running NMS to insulate themselves against the effect. The card provides a big modification to the way that the game is played, but it’s totally possible to protect yourself from it with your build. Which is to say, it’s pure Johnny.

#4 Fluttershy, Hide and Squeak (AD)

There’s a lot of Absolute Discord on this list, I think mostly because that was a set where Enterplay really pushed the limits on creative card design. You want to talk about a card that creates an enticing puzzle to solve? There’s only one card in the game that I find more fascinating, and you’ll see it soon enough. Hide and Squeak presents the possibility of a Holy Grail of Troublemaker control: never having to care about Troublemaker-faceoffs at all. The puzzle, of course, is finding a way to effectively cycle Fluttershy out of the discard pile and back into play for the next turn. There are some cool ways of doing it, but everything I’ve found so far is pretty AT-expensive. Either way, Fluttershy is the Queen of Criterion 3.

#3 Sunset Shimmer, Clever Girl (AD)

Clever Girl is, admittedly, a touch mainstream for this list. She did see some play, after all, in the days of Absolute Discord, when extra AT was very much at a premium, especially compared to where we are now. But what really excites me about cards are the possibilities for the interesting choices that they could create. Most of the cards on this list create those choices during the process of deck construction, but Clever Girl brings that choice right into the game itself. Her ability essentially allows you to sacrifice card advantage for AT, which makes her a fine example of Criterion 3. What’s more important at the instant the trigger fires? And, as with any good Johnny card, can you build your deck in a way that mitigates her costs and takes full advantage of her benefits?

#2 Starlight Glimmer, Chrono Trigger (MT)

Much of what was said earlier for Nightmare Star surely applies here, but if you thought that Nightmare Star was a just a minor annoyance, here we have a card that literally demands your attention. Because if you leave it be, eventually it is going to fundamentally change the game that is being played. Even before you think about how to play with it, you’ve got to make a fundamental choice in including it in your deck: do you want it to go off? Are you trying to potentially cheat out a bunch of powerful cards, or are you trying to use it to mill your opponent at accelerated speed? Or maybe you just want to beat it up (clearly you just don’t know how to have fun). Once that’s done, then you can start solving the problem of how to actually play it properly.

Now, before we get to #1, I’m going to build some suspense by quickly touching on a couple of Honourable Mentions:

Twilight Sparkle, Noted Speaker (CN)

A classic example of Criterion 2, Noted Speaker is a card that changes a lot about the game when it’s in play. Both you and your opponent know what your faceoff flips are going to be. You have a huge incentive to participate in some top-deck shenanigans, too.

The Equestria Games (CG)

The Equestria Games is another classic example of Criterion 1, giving us a huge potential effect, but one that’s fully symmetrical with the opponent. These days, I could consider maybe a Magical Misfire right before popping Games. Wait, now that’s an idea, isn’t it...

Well, that’s enough for stall tactics. Let’s get on to the big one:

#1 Flutterbat (CN)

As an enticing, cool puzzle, Flutterbat is on a level entirely her own. The card is flavourful to a fault, throwing away nearly any chance at being useful so that it can emphasize itself as a flitting, standoffish Troublemaker that just wants to be left alone. Attempting to make Flutterbat work for you is an exercise in and of itself, involving manipulating the board in an attempt to get her to move when you want her to. It’s so hard that one might even dismiss the effort as not worth it. Here, though, I might ask you to remember that there was another Canterlot Nights UR that was dismissed as nothing more than a joke when first printed, and that story ended up lasting for a long time indeed. But even beyond that, Flutterbat is a challenge without equal. Getting her to work inside a deck would be a crowning achievement, and something I would proudly remember for the rest of my career. So still we try. Good luck to any who still try to crack her code. One day, we’ll find something.

So, did I miss something? Do you have your own creative UR that you think really should have been on this list? If so, then please let me know, and I’m sure we’ll be able to have a rousing debate on the matter. In any event, I’ll see you all in a month.
