TIME SHENANIGANS WITH WILD MAPLEHOOF

 Now we'll take a break from the journey across the big continent in the West for a stop back in time!
We go back two blogposts, to the end of October...

We find ourselves in Sweden, a land covered in three meter snow all year round (except not now), and with wild polar bears roaming the streets (except not here).
Also nude Peter Pan sitting in a stream playing the flute.
...
Yeah, anyway! WHAT EXCITING THINGS CAN WE FIND HERE!?!
OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY LOOK AT THAT!!


Do you see that?? Holey moley!
 We are so lucky! We found a WILD MAPLEHOOF, in its natural habitat, the MAPLE TREE.


Let's see if we can get closer....


Would you look at that beauty? Look at the grace which it uses to climb even the thinnest of tree branches!


I brought the MAPLEHOOF with me home, to see how well it interacted with the native animals.


It seemed to be going okay, although the GIANT CANINE shows little to no interest in the snow white pony.

BUT WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW??


COULD IT BE?!
It is really true that love is blind, and can surpass all obstacles! We leave the two lovebirds alone for a while....

Yeah, they would like some privacy, please? Sheesh...
(aka Maplehoof is annoyed about her lack of screen time in Act 5 Act 1. Seriously.)


SURPRISING DEVELOPMENT!!! 0:
MAPLEHOOF WENT THROUGH PUBERTY AND IS NOW A BEAUTIFUL CANDYCORN UNICORN


After lots of trouble, I managed to tame the WILD MAPLEHOOF.
She now makes the perfect HEAD WARMER.

After a while, I deemed her to be NON-WILD enough to bring to school.
It seems like MAPLEHOOF would like to know more about BIOLOGY.


Given the opportunity, the MAPLEHOOF will be on yo table, watching yo read Homestuck study


After two weeks of REAL LIFE study of the WILD MAPLEHOOF, I decided to let her out in the wild again.
I re-introduced her to some long lost realtives-


And MAPLEHOOF has been running WILD ever since...



Now lets get back..I mean forward, in time, all the way to February, in the state of Massachusetts!

See you there lovelies~ ^u^

And then Canada happened.

After a lengthy trans-atlantic journey, Maplehoof finally arrived at my house in Ottawa.  She was an excellent houseguest, waiting patiently for me to get my work in order before I could take her on a quick tour around the city.


After a short trip downtown, we stopped by the world's largest outdoor skating rink, the Rideau Canal.  Maplehoof didn't think it looked very big from here, but that's because this is the very end she didn't look in the other direction.  In the distance we could see Parliment.  Maplehoof seemed very excited to see it so we headed that way.


On the way there we stopped by the Canadian National War Memorial.  It was pretty neat.  Maplehoof liked that there were horses in the statue as well.


When we finaly got to Parliment, we stopped by the Centennial Flame for a short while to warm up a bit.  We fondly regarded the Peace Tower for a short while before moving on.

And then we wound up somewhere else and fondly regarded it again!  Majestic!


Across the St. Laurent River, we could see the neighbouring province of Quebec.  Maplehoof wondered if we could go visit, but it was already getting late and that was quite a far walk.


On our way back, we passed by the National Art Galery of Canada.  Maplehoof thought it was strange that there was a giant metal sculpture of a spider monster in front of the building.  I honestly have no idea why this is the case.  It's a very strange statue.


And then we had a late lunch of beer and poutine.  It was delicious.

Anyway, after returning from our little outing, Maplehoof prepared to head off to the mysterious land of New York, alongside a new companion I sent with her so she wouldn't get lonely on the way there.  Best of luck in your continued adventure Maplehoof!
