Hello Gumshoes!

As some of us are well aware, the final season of Netflix’s Carmen Sandiego is dropping on Jan 15th. And as you all have known that I have had some major things happen in my irl that simply fucked me up and over. But all that will soon be over and hopefully this new year will bring some new inspiration and motivation and help me move forward towards something I’ve wanted to do for a while. Now I know my life and the final season of Carmen are two different subjects. Just hear me out why I’m mentioning both at once.

So with a sad heart, I will retire this Carmen Blog and change it into my personal art and hobby life blog starting Jan 15th, the same day Netfix Carmen retires. I will still have Carmen art but there wont be a storyline. I am going back to drawn art as well as new crafts. I also want to start a youtube about the same thing, my art and craft hobbies. It would be my honor if you would stay with me through this change, but if you decide to leave, I understand as well. I have a new sense of freedom after a close family tragedy, thankfully not Covid related, and I want to put it towards my full potential.

Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for being here with me all these years and hopefully we will be discovering more together for many more years to come.

-love always, Carmen

Sneak preview for Uncle Ancient wisdom

Outside from the internal airport, Viper was standing by the corner of the street, waiting for someone that was meant to pick up. Usually she had no problem using her car, and drive to the museum, but she remember during her conversation with Carmen Pondiego that she was going to pick her up with one of her agent that work for her.. Viper look around the street to see if the car she was there, but so far all she see was people being pick up from the airport, and several cabbies waiting for escort. Viper was thinking about the heist she was about to do with Carmen, and she starting to have second thoughts about it. She know that Carmen only care about stealing the Dragon Ball that Jackie research team were able to find, and leave, but deep inside her heart that this is her boyfriend big break, and she doesn’t want anything bad happened to him. While her mind was thinking of what she going to do next, she heard a car horn a few times that caught her attention. At first she thought it was just one of the cabbie that was bothering her, but she notice a red limousine that park right next to her. Viper was shock to see a limousine was right next to her, but never saw it drove by before. She look at the limousine for a moment, until she saw a door opening from the driver seat. Viper see a guy with orange hair walk up to her, but this person was a bit out of the ordinary. She look at his face to see what he look like, but his face was cover with sunglasses and a cap. Viper wasn’t sure what he was going to do, but she notice that the guy was asking her name.

Mysterious guy: are you the human woman that go by the name Viper?

Viper: yes that me, who is asking?

Mysterious guy: before I give you the answer, I need to ask you one thing. Do you believe in mystical creatures, and magic?

Viper: Mister! I been through a lot of weird things helping out a pacific family that are huge magnet to magic, and demons all the time. So if you going to try to scare me, you best try harder.

Mysterious guy: *he laugh* very well then, I guess you’re alright to see the real me.

Viper wasn’t sure wasn’t sure what the mysterious guy said, until she saw him walk back a few step from her. He remove his glasses and able to see his green eyes, but the eyes themselves weren’t human. Next thing she know it, the guy body shape started to change, and alter into a bug like pony with a horn. Viper was lost in words, wasn’t sure what to say next. The bug like creature look at Viper and started to laugh, liking how every time he able to shock people like that. Before Viper able to find the words she need to say to him, another voice came out of nowhere, but this voice was familiar to her. She look at the end of the limousine and see a women with a red hat peeking out from the window. The bug like creature knew that his boss was about to lose her patient with him, so he had to quit playing with Viper, and have her in the car.

Marehem: *he laugh* sorry about startle you like that miss, I tend to trick people like that all the time. The Marehem by the way.

Viper: Viper, and you not need to worry, I’m very use to seeing things that out of the ordinary all the time. It just I never seen someone like you before. What are you exactly?

Marehem: I’m a changeline Miss Viper, but that all I’m going to say. There are some thing you don’t want need to know very much. Now then Miss Viper, I best have you inside right now, before my boss lose her temper on me.

Carmen Pondiego: a little too late Marehem, because I was getting tired waiting for you to finish your little game, M.

Marehem: come on Red, can’t a guy have a little fun messing with human once awhile. I rarely go to the human world very often.

Carmen Pondiego: there are many good reason why you can’t go to the human world anymore, M. But I’m going to save this talk another time, right now we have an important mission, and we are on the clock.

Marehem: very well then, do you still want me to escort Miss Viper in the car?

Carmen Pondiego: I do that myself, just get inside and be ready to go.

Marehem: But

Carmen Pondiego: two words M. Wood Chipper.

Marehem didn’t said another word, and do what his boss said. Once he got in the car, Carmen sigh to herself wondering how she deal with him for so long, and yet still work for her. She look back to Viper, and did her best to apology about her assistant behavior.

Carmen Pondiego: I do apology for M behavior Viper, he tend to have a little fun when messing with humans like that, but he is a nice guy once you get to know him.

Viper: it no problem Carmen, I have a habit to mess with people head when they first me the first time. Have to admit, I never seen someone like him before.

Carmen Pondiego: well you don’t really see changeling like him around the human world, especially most of us are from Equestria.

Viper: Equestria! What is that?

Carmen Pondiego: Equestria is a special place where ponies, and creature’s live in harmony, or something like that. There is more detail about it, but it would take a whole day to explain it to you.

Viper: thanks, I would have been board halfway is you did, but if you are from that world, why bother coming to the human world all the time.

Carmen Pondiego: simple really, it a lot more fun here. The human have better artifact to track down, less magic defenses to deal with, and the location of fancy restaurant I do like.

Viper: well I can’t blame you for some of theings you said, but I sense there something else that made you want to come to the human world very often.

Carmen Pondiego: well there are two reason really. One is personal, and the other, you might know him already.

Viper: know who already?

Carmen Pondiego: you and Jackie may know him as Thomas the writer, well Thomas is actually an old friend of mine.

Viper: …….. Hold on a second, you knew Thomas the writer, and you never mention this before?

Carmen Pondiego: well you never bother to ask me Viper, and beside, this is the first time you seeing me, and learning a little bit where I came from.

Viper: that true, it just felt a little weird the very person that been my rival in thievery, is actually a pony from another world.

Carmen Pondiego: I would like to be known as a unicorn please. When a human said pony like that, it make me want to slap them on the face, and your too cute slap for me to do that.

Viper: *she blush* um, thank you I guess.

Carmen Pondiego: now then, if that all you needed to ask me Viper, can we get in the limousine and head for the museum. I want to get there as soon as possible, before they raises the security at the place.

Viper: oh you won’t need to worry about that. I actually have a friend who did some favor for me from the past. My cellphone have a special function to cut off any security system in a ten mile radius, which give you, and your friend to get inside without a problem.

Carmen Pondiego: Clever girl. There a reason why I want you to join me on this mission.

Viper: well you made an offer I couldn’t refuse, but remember our deal though.

Carmen Pondiego: I’m a mare of my word, Viper. There will be no harm on your boyfriend, M and I will be in the area to stop any kind of danger that will come on our way.

Viper: you think there will be a great threat to deal with?

Carmen Pondiego: Maybe, especially when the museum donor gave them a lot of money for that artifact, they might send someone to double check for any problem. But I could be wrong, and it nothing at all.

Viper: well if you think things be alright, let do this then.

Marehem: hey, if you two done talking, I would like to get there, before I lose my mind.
