In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.

Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.

Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.

It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.

The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.

Actually, if you've been able to stay even remotely abreast of the news, my compliments and sympathies in equal measure.

I've been stuck at dogin insane hours at work for what seems like months now (It's only been weeks... I think... possibly days... What is time again?)

Anyway, as I have to commute yet again, I'm leaving this short.

This year's Guardian Bonus Bingo features three (3) prompts for June! I only meant to do one of them, but two more plot bunnies hopped in and I could not resist them. So here are links to all three.

Each ficlet belongs to a different series of Guardian fics that I've written, but should be readable even if one hasn't read the other fics in the series.

Summer 2025 Guardian Bonus Bingo prompt for June: "Chase."
Title Triple Digits
Fandom: Guardian (drama)
Relationship/Characters: ChuGuoYeHuo, Weilan
Word count: 1,397
Summary: Chu Shuzhi, Guo Changcheng, and Ye Huo are unexpectedly summoned to Chief Zhao's office. (Part
6 of Heart Fire.)


Summer 2025 Guardian Bonus Bingo prompt for June: "Respite."
Title From Fray to Friendship
Fandom: Guardian (drama)-Arthurian fusion
Relationship/Characters: Chu Shuzhi, Guo Changcheng, and Ye Huo
Word count: 813
Summary: A little tale of how Ye Huo ("Wildfire") first encountered members of King Zhao's company.
(Part 2 of Zhao Yunlan's Round Table.)


Summer 2025 Guardian Bonus Bingo prompt for June: "Door Key."
Title Door Key - Why yes, I ran out of titles and just used the prompt this time!
Fandom: Guardian (drama)/Time Engraver commercials
Relationship/Characters: ChuGuo, Ye Zun
Word count: 600

I finished off an old writing exercise for the Yield challenge on [community profile] fan_flashworks:

Title: Supplanted (1541 words) [General Audiences]
Fandom: 镇魂 | Guardian (TV 2018)
Characters: Xiao Quan (Shen Wei's student), Shen Wei, Zhao Yunlan, Jiajia
Additional Tags: Episode Related, Canon Scene, Canon Dialogue, POV Outsider, Episode 9 roadtrip, Zhao Yunlan is my blorbo, but sometimes he's a bit of a dick, Xiao Quan don't get no respect

Summary:

The responsibility for getting them back on the road rests on Luo Quan’s shoulders—and when he achieves it, the glory will be his, too. Jiajia will clap her hands and promise to buy him a drink when they get back to Dragon City. Professor Shen will give an approving smile.

The 11th task: "Draw a pony trying something new // Draw a pony getting their cutie mark". Didn't we get that first one already? As for the other, how about a cutie mark for accidentally eating insects. Worst. Mark. Ever!

As always, draw (or sculpt or do a photo-montage), host the image of what you made in an online gallery and drop the URL into the submission form here, it's live. King Grimlock does not specifying the prompt in the submitter, but otherwise it's the usual: you can enter five different images per prompt. The maximum resolution is 2000x2000 pixels, so chose a link from your gallery that points to a version of your image that does not exceed 2,000 pixels on either side. Also, don't exceed 4 Mb per picture or the poniloader will plotz and choke on your picture. MLPforums and Discord work as image hosts in a pinch, although I think that there's an expiry date on those options. Xitter works somehow, it looks like Mastodon does, probably Bluesky as well, if you're savvy and Imgur apparently works too. I use Flickr. The pictures will be visible on EqD along with the next task at 9 PM (MST) on June 24nd. KG has stopped trying to make bespoke URLs so I'll paste the gallery URL when it appears.

So be sure to get your drawings in well before 9 PM Mountain Standard Time (or midnight Eastern Daylight Savings Time and 5 AM UTC). The grace period should give you at least two extra days and KG goes back to edit in the late submissions, usually around the same time he posts the next prompt. KG can and does change the close date on the submitter and keeps just two active at any given moment. I don't think there will be any late submission catch-up days in this NATG.

Off topic submissions, more than was usual in past years, are showing up in the gallery. That's because King Grimlock is also posting what Calpain is prompting on Bluesky in his fringe NATG and people have been hybridizing this NATG with it. Calpain's prompts today are pony bouncing back / Draw a pony making a comeback.

It would make more sense to start with the Silver Age series, but I have a strong aversion to Silver Age nonsense. You get this series instead.

Hiya! My name's Meadz and I'm new to the comm. FFVII was my first game back when it came out (yes I'm old) and FFXV is my primary fandom these days. On that note I hope y'all don't mind me promoting some fandom events in the FFXV coming up?
