I only biting it up because that and making everything faceted are becoming your Style. They are all over the place if you look and from experience that's the kind of thing you really don't want your casual styling to slide to.

Point, will reflect. What do you mean by 'everything faceted?'

A lot of your sketchwork is very rectangular, and it seems like you're aware on some level so to prevent everything from being a square, you sort of make them all rhomboids and octagons, ans ennagons, and such. There are a lot of corners on things that wouldn't have corners, like hands and torsos and things. An after effect of you blocking things for sketching (in the sense of building blocks, not obstructions. Couldn't make that sentence unawkward).
Your finished pieces have not begun to show too much of the effect, except in the hair (but anime hair is supposed to do that, so....) but it is... I dunno, I suppose it's a quality of resonance you're adding to all your work? I'll give it more time and thought and observation, make sure it's not incremental bias of memory on my part.

Mask has half a dozen contradictory backstories, one of which is that the Mask is an evil artifact independent of the pony. The flame-haired pony sometimes seen wearing it is sometimes called Sundancer.

Day 647: Terror Incognito
This session of Exalted:
- We sent the Kukla and the Defence Grid to have a death match. Defence grid won.
- The Unconquered Sun died. I fought off a necromantic army to ensure he could die in peace.
- We were unexpectedly(!) betrayed(!!) by the guy we knew was Chosen of the Ebon Dragon, the Archgenitor of Lies.
- We killed Tepet Ejava, who was also Chosen by the Dragon.
- We nominated the God of our conquering empire as the Unconquered Sun's successor.
- My past life took over and instructed our human-shaped Defence Grid terminal to do something.
Good day!

He chose to die. He told us (paraphrased), "I'ma go kill myself via necromancer general. When I'm dead, the Ebon Dragon is gonna think he's invincible and step through into creation. When that happens I need you to whack him for me. We cool? Cool. Oh, also it's on you to pick my successor. Bye."

Oh. That makes sense. Though it shows a lack of planning to not already have a chosen successor.

Heaven, at the time, had a First Age Eclipse in it who was absolutely DESTROYING the place with Essence 9 Bureaucracy charms. Anything the Sun did as the ruler of Heaven would have done more harm than good.
Now he's dead, the social unit of Heaven has broken down and all those Bureaucracy charms are attached to a dead thing. We have to remake the entire thing from scratch, and he decided to trust us to do that.

Well that was a completely inefficient bureaucracy then.
I have no idea what any of that means... Except magic breaking because the victim was dead.
Good luck with rebuilding everything...

For a moment there, I thought you meant the Marquis de Lafayette and I was very confused. But then I remembered he wasn't the only person in the world with that name.
