    I think my job is trying to give me PTSD.

    I was awoken by a phone call this morning. Work asked me to come in, as things were crazy. I did so, was there from around 9:30 AM to 6PM. Worked without a lunch break, I might add.

    The Moral Event Horizon.

    Gonna discuss another trope today in relation to the Quiververse. In this case, it's the Moral Event Horizon. In simple terms, this is the point a character passes that forever marks them as EVIL and potentially irredeemable. TVTropes itself lists a few examples from FiM, and I won't repeat them here...though I will say that

    It never ends. It just...never...ends...

    So work decided to throw another curve ball at me. My supervisor has been transferred to another store. That means that I've had six supervisors in my department across six years, and it could take weeks, maybe even months, for us to get a new one. Which means I'm going to continue to be worked to death.

    So, I'm writing again.

    It's not much, but I got some writing done today. Now, be warned, it's going to be a very long time before I do anything related to the Quiververse again, but I'm hoping that time frame will be measured in months rather than a year.

    Still, at least I'm making some progress.

    A question to my readers.

    When I started serious work on the Quiververse, I made myself a promise. That promise was thus, to do the best I can to use whatever characters appear in a story to the best of my ability. I like to think I've done that, as various canon characters are reasonably consistent with their portrayals in the show (and arguably are undergoing development, though that's up to the reader), and my OCs have

Well, nuts. · 3:06am Jul 2nd, 2023

The good news is that work didn't try to call me in today. I suspect part of that might be due to the recent weather-related trouble at work - a power outage does kill business after all.

The bad news is that due to me needing to clear out a bunch of stuff that accumulated over the last few days, plus me getting distracted by streaming media (in my defense, I've rediscovered the sheer joy that is Phineas and Ferb), very little writing work was done.

Fortunately, I suspect I will not be called in to work this coming Tuesday. The epilogue will be finished, hopefully before the end of next week.

Fingers crossed, Echo. No worries here. Hope that it all works out! :pinkiesmile:

Thank you for the news.

Despite the positive effect it had, I'm sorry about the power outage. I hope it won't have any bad repercussions for you when you go back to work, if it's still not solved by then.

That said, rest assured, I understand what it's like to want to see something you like, and I'm glad you got to do so. :)

Wishing you the best, on your writing and on everything else.

Take care!

Oh, the outage has been dealt with. And I suspect that, barring further outages, the store is restocked and back in operation. I'm just hoping that my department was properly cleaned out today - I don't want to come in tomorrow and see a big mess waiting to be taken care of simply because management decided to shanghai my immediate coworkers into helping out elsewhere in the store.

Everyone needs down time. Enjoy Perry!

I always do. Doo-be-doo-be-doo-bah...
