    So, year seven… and some months.

    I waited until I'd gotten around to watch the final episodes before thinking about this Yearly Blog Post™ of mine. Then I wrote something in a Google Doc, and never got around to fleshing it out, nor posting. Oh well.

    In case that you haven't watched the finale, don’t worry; this blog contains no spoilers, just a vague opinion of mine.

    Yearly blog: Six

    Aaand six.

    I missed the date with a few days, dammit.
    Regardless, sixth year of pony. Gotta' keep the tradition up!


    To be honest, I don't have that much to write this year. I guess I've been falling out a bit; I've not even finished the last season of the show yet.
    But, I still visit this site, as well as a few others, daily.

    Fourth year of pony

    Don't mind me, just my yearly retrospect-blog passing by.
    Are you not minding yet? Yes? No?
    Then I'll wait.

    Three years, huh?

    So, this weekend I'd apparently been around pony for three years.
    That's a thing.
    Ehum, cheers!

Activity
My last two blogs had stuff worth a mention, but, honestly; I haven't been very active lately. I'm still around, checking what the people I'm following are putting out and/or planning, in addition to reading a story now and then. But, when I actually get around to reading, it's more often than not a oneshot, or in rare cases something longer but completed.
I mean, there's a lot to choose from, after all:

Though, slowing down does not mean disappearing, I'm still having my share of fun here! And on deviantArt (pony art is still going strong and the comics are good fun), and Tumblr (ask blogs count as comics, right?), and YouTube, and in Legends of Equestria, and a few other places.

And the series! I mean, heck, this season has offered several very enjoyable episodes, including but not limited to the episode which aired recently.

Anyway. Sorry for putting nonsense in your feed, but I felt like keeping to the 'tradition' of one blog per year.
See ya' all around!

That's a thing.

Yay, things. :pinkiehappy:

Three years... times flies fast.
Was it all you expected? Do you expect the next three years to be the same, or would you wish for something different?

And the series! I mean, heck, this season has offered several very enjoyable episodes, including but not limited to the episode which aired recently.

It's amazing to think that even with shows like gravity falls or steven universe, My little pony is still the one I appreciate the most. So 100% with you on how enjoyable it has been until now.

3466383 Oh, those are pretty heavy questions, hm.

Was it all you expected?

Pony? Pony's been great, I've enjoyed the ride all along.
Personally? No. :eeyup:
But I digress, I'm trying to be optimistic on this site, it's pony, afterall!
:twilightsmile:

Do you expect the next three years to be the same, or would you wish for something different?

Pony? I won't wish on pony, as pony's going good as it is. Heck, I even enjoyed the last Equestria Girls.
Personally, things will probably change, even within a year, more than they'd changed for the last four, as I should have completed my 5th and final year in "college" next summer. So I'm looking forward to finally getting somewhere, hopefully. :pinkiesmile:

My little pony is still the one I appreciate the most.

Indeed. I've not followed any series prior or now, as I do with MLP currently.

Anyway. How's stuff yourself? As you saw in the blog, I'm not reading much at this moment, so I haven't read many of the latter fics you've published. I've read one, a very enjoyable one nevertheless, but still just one of your last few stories. Sorry. :twilightsheepish:
And, you're nearing the same mark as I am, if I don't recall wrong; how do you feel yourself? Still along the ride? Still seeing the ride continuing? :raritywink:

Heck, I even enjoyed the last Equestria Girls.

"Unleash the magic"! :twilightblush: I liked it quite a lot too.

as I should have completed my 5th and final year in "college" next summer.

That will be quite an achievement (even if you seem to have a low esteem of that "college" you're going to) ! Well done to have come so far :twilightsmile:. I guess I can only wish you luck for the remaining months. Hope the hard work will be paying off.

so I haven't read many of the latter fics you've published.

Doesn't matter :pinkiesmile:. In fact, it's for the best. It seems I'm doing even worse than before (when it comes to writing, because everything else is going very well). You just happened to have found the only acceptable one in the lot.

Anyway. How's stuff yourself?

Put simply: It's going so well I have difficulties believing my life is real.

how do you feel yourself? Still along the ride? Still seeing the ride continuing?

I think I'm enjoying it even more than before :pinkiehappy:. Mostly due to the series itself. My biggest and, in a way, only regret is that I cannot share it with any of my friends. I went to a convention in France which proved to be a very painful, awkward and sometimes frustrating experience (but still an experience and that's positive), so in the end it's sort of a personal journey for me, but still a very enjoyable one.

I cannot share it with any of my friends.

I guess I'm in the same boat. MLP isn't for anyone, heh. :pinkiecrazy:

It seems I'm doing even worse than before (when it comes to writing, because everything else is going very well). You just happened to have found the only acceptable one in the lot.

That's too bad. I have most of your latter stories in the RL - One Shots list, so I might get around to reading them anyway some time. I won't believe that they are all bad. :rainbowdetermined2:

even if you seem to have a low esteem of that "college" you're going to

How did you- You know, never mind, I guess you're too good at reading comprehension, or recalled the line from the last blog, or both, or nothing, or something. :twilightsheepish:
Just, to let you in on what I'm talking about, and what I hinted at in the last blog. When we told our "programme director" (in lack for a better English term) that we weren't realistically prepared to work at a real company in a group with others for half a year developing a real product, the response was along the line of "There are different roles in a group, someone have to be the worst one. " So we sat, 2 in a group of 6, trying to contribute anything worthwhile, for half a year.

Sigh. Meh. Sorry. Trying to do the best of it, I guess. :scootangel:

I guess I can only wish you luck for the remaining months. Hope the hard work will be paying off.

I'm with you there, thanks!

or recalled the line from the last blog, or both, or nothing, or something.

I went back and read it again. When I doubt something, I go back to the sources.

Trying to do the best of it, I guess.

That's the spirit :rainbowdetermined2:.

And I'm serious. I got a bachelor in economy, with a specialization in accounting. But my work is sort of about developping softwares (with no relation to accounting). In the end, learning to learn and adapt (and also how to solve problems) is almost better than learning a specific job.

Almost... I still completely understand why your college indeed lacks quality.

So do try to do the best of it!

3469774 'Almost' indeed.

So do try to do the best of it!

I will! Thanks for the encouragement, though, it's appreciated!
