    State of the Writer, April 2024!

    It's another boring one! I ain't wrote nothin'! :B

    It actually feels lately like I've been crawling out of a pit? So maybe there's a light ahead? But it's also blocked by Balatro lol somepony save me D:

    The only other thing relevant to this blog is that I've had notes for a vs. post sitting in my notes document for probably the entire month now, what is wrong with me? D:

    Fic recs, April 22nd: Jordan179 edition

    Once again, though a good bit late, I bring it upon myself to memorialize an author via reviews of their stories. Though this time, it's different, as I had no connection to Jordan179 and only learned of his passing (three years ago this month, coincidentally), from this post

    Another post about video games and Youtube and stuff

    If I'm going to waste time watching shit on Youtube, the least I can do is tell people about it. :P

    Ceave is a crazy Austrian with a love of video games and a head for philosophizing about them. Plus he really, really hates coins, no matter how tasty they may look.

    Do you like video games? How about philosophy?

    I like one of those things for sure, but no one combines the two better than a Youtuber named InfernalRamblings, a former professional game developer who now creates hour and a half long video essays about the meanings of video games and how they relate to the world today. Here's a few highlights, since this is now basically my only

Who around here speaks Welsh? · 12:20am Mar 27th, 2015

Like, natively.

I give you two guesses as to why I would want to contact a native Welsh speaker. :B

I spent a year in Wales, but that's about it.

Fun fact: I lived at Ffordd Ffriddoedd

My first guess: you intend to Welsh out on a bet.

I have no second guess.

My first guess is that you want to learn more about a language that descends from Elvish. (This, of course, is why it sounds so beautiful and transcribes so strangely.)

My second guess is that you're looking for interesting words to use as character or place names.

First guess: you want to insult the welsh.
Second guess: you want to insult the English in Welsh.

There are no other reasons for learning welsh.

I think I might have a bit of Welsh ancestry. Definitely English, Irish and Scottish. As for my guesses...

1. Google translate is just... the worst.
2. You're making it your goal to bring MLP fanfiction to Wales, so you're translating every single story on this site into Welsh.

Nope. I used to be semi-fluent at a schoolboy level (enough to carry on a conversation) as I put some effort into learning when I lived in Liverpool, but that's gone by the board now. I've retained just enough to get irritated when people horribly misuse it, on a similar level to when people have Luna say things like "My sister telleth thou". :P

First guess = second guess = not a clue. :P

My guess would be that you were planning on visiting Wales.

You might try asking is_welsh.

Duh. Your mail-a-bride finally got in, and you're having a hell of a time trying to get her to do your dishes.

1: You think the idea of Translation Convention is a blight upon the world, and have embarked upon a crusade to render every story on this site into its proper tongues.

2: You've always yearned for a chance to speak with the behemoths of the deep.

I can pretend to talk tidy, but that's about it. :pinkiehappy:

The first guess doesn't count, right? :derpytongue2:

Guess 1: You hate vowels.
Guess 2: You hate everything, including yourself.

You've developed a crush on Fflur Dafydd, and wish to read her works and listen to her songs in the original Welsh, before attempting to pursue her romantically?

I speak Well-ish.

... Sorry, I'm not of much help. I just wanted to make a pun. :ajsleepy:

you obviously have a ginger with a decent beard to seduce

Pfft, come on, there's no way that's a real place. Nice try. :ajbemused:

Edit: WAIT WHAT :pinkiegasp:
