    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

When does the hurting stop? · 2:46am May 20th, 2015

Well, work has decided to be a bigger pain in the butt than normal. Add to it that I'm dealing with crap at home. It's summer, which means yard work and assorted other outdoorsy crap. And who has to deal with that? ME.

I've said it once and I'll say it again, Quiver Quill drew from real life experience.

Also, I'm doing a couple small edits to chapters for "Six Nights", in addition to trying to finish the damn thing. Blame Imperator Knoedel for prompting them. Between those three factors, it'll be a miracle if I get anything done on what's supposed to be my day off.

And yes, I am very angry. :flutterrage:

Well, hope you're doing fine! Plus, it sucks to be angry, doesn't it? But again, hope you're doing fine with work! You're awesome! #StayAwesome

3081895 I'll do better once this week is over, assuming I can get something done and that I don't get more mandatory overtime dropped in my lap and nothing else goes wrong.

But I will try to maintain my awesome, thanks. :twilightsmile:

Dang, why can't I find that one clip I want anywhere? You know in that episode with the breezies, when Rarity is talking about her dress, saying she knew it had too much purple but Twilight refused to admit it, Twilight in the background goes "What!?"? I was looking for a video clip of Twilight's "What!?" or at least a gif to properly represent my reaction when I saw you mention my name here, but couldn't find anything.

...

So yeah, sorry I guess? *shrugs*

3082130 Meh. None of the work and home stuff is your fault, no need to apologize. The edits are totally my choice and I'm glad to do them. I'm just being a bit pouty over the whole mess, and that's my fault.

I need to learn better emotional control.
