    Where have you been, young man?

    So it has been... quite a while since I posted anything here. I have the month free, after college assignments and system upgrades, might as well post this, to let you guys know I'm still alive.

    Something that really grinds my gears...

    It took two weeks (give or take a few days) for the Regular Show movie to get dubbed.

    Subs of WWE programmes are out within the week.

    So why the fuck does it still take half a year for MLP to get dubbed?!

    And don't even get me started on Friendship Games. It's like they weren't even trying with that one.

    Coming Soon to a Website Near You

    I wanted to make it up to you guys for not posting anything here, so I decided to do something a bit... different.

    Unfortunately I was a bit skeptical as to where I should post this. Obviously what I want to do is not allowed on Fimfiction, so I was considering adding it as a blog post instead. No dice, wouldn't let me post it.

    Imgur Problems

    As you all are aware, it is no longer possible to add images from Imgur on this website. Which is kinda sad, since that was my go-to image hosting website. The fact that it didn't require registration to upload images was a nice feature.

    So I went to edit one of my stories when I found this.



    So what you people are telling me is that I can't write anything good by myself. I have a story in the planning stages that I want to release in January, but I don't know if I wanna post it here anymore. Keep in mind I HAVEN'T WRITTEN IT YET. You guys are making me reconsider even writing it.

Is Poetic Thrill a Gary Stu? · 8:33pm Aug 5th, 2014

Following Blade Star's advice, i decided to run a little test to see whether or not my ponysona can be considered a Gary Stu. Granted, I have not written him in much stuff (I have one in the works), but just in case.

Total points:

<5 -Anti-Sue
6-15 -Balanced Character
16-25 -Borderline Mary-Sue
26> -Mary-Sue


So pretty much a regular character. Not too OP. Well this pleases me greatly.

(To be honest, being a Gary Stu is the whole reason why Thrill is not an alicorn. I've seen a whole bunch of alicorn OCs on YouTube, I decided not to do one of those just for that very reason.)
