Thankies · 9:54pm Nov 26th, 2015

I'm thankful for a lot of things. Here are a few of them.



I'm thankful for Fimfic, for giving me something to believe in, a silly shred of self-worth that goes a long way.

I'm thankful for the fandom for giving me lurvely marsupials to connect with.

I'm thankful for Pilate, his intelligence, his compassion, his steadfastness and fecking zebra-ness.

I'm thankful for Props, his sexy mustache, his boundless human charisma and empathy.

I'm thankful for Ponky, his lurve for life, his creative genius and unsinkable faith and enthusiasm for what's good in this world.

I'm thankful for Mir, a whole 'nother person outside the Internet, who somehow thought that this lemur was worthy enough to be the best man at his wedding.

I'm thankful for Jake the Army Guy, his hard edged awesomeness, his support and confidence.

I'm thankful for Swan Song, his fanboyisms, shipping fuel, and mwapmwapmwapmwap.

I'm thankful for Robored and the picture spams that have slowly pushed me down the road of Sunsetsparkles!addiction.

I'm thankful for Wanderer D and his wisdom and camaraderie over the years.

I'm thankful for CaptainPudgeMuffin and arts and butts.

I'm thankful for Floydien Slip, Sharp Quill, Lightning Bearer, Piercing Sight, Prismic, Titanium Dragon, and all the other marsupials whose comments and written words have done lots to enliven the literature I've slathered onto this digispace.

I'm thankful for the Noble Jury... for existing and giving me a sense of community, belonging, identity, and worth.

I'm thankful for Austraeoh Fact Checker... whoever you may be.

I'm thankful for Applejack for being best pony.

I'm thankful for Rainbow Dash for being the whipping horse of all my stories.

I'm thankful for Lyra for getting me somewhere.

I'm thankful for Vinyl for getting me away from somewhere.

I'm thankful for Youtube for giving me a way to preserve my sanity.

I'm thankful for my boss at work... the absolute best manager to work for in the absolute worst company that exists.

I'm thankful for Walt Disney World being a spit's distance from the lemur hole so I don't have to scream into my own skull once a month.

And I'm thankful for all of you who've taken the time out of your lives to indulge in my horse words. I know they aren't very snazzy or all that good, but I'm pleased to think that I've not only shared my creative thoughts but have done so in a way that continues to be entertaining and worthwhile. You are... collectively... the apex of my existence thus far.

Peace.

With ghosts.

And, in turn, I want to thank you, you wonderful human being, for writing so many beautiful and ridiculous things that I love. You're an inspiration. Thank you for everything.

I feel forgotten! :fluttercry:

I keed. And yes, I'm thankful for robored too. More SunsetSparkles is always a good thing. :D

And thank you, Sir Lemur, for punctuating the tedium of my daily routine with timely doses of laughter, tears, shivers, fuzziness, and all things kaizo. If you did not exist, it would be necessary to invent you.

The pleasure of knowing you has always been mine, SS :raritystarry:

Extreme humility aside, I think you know inside that you're the best Skirts. Why else would we all be here? :pinkiehappy:

Happy Thanksgiving to all. Your stories, Skirts, have always brought a smile to my face even when I'm sobbing because (insert character name) died.

I'm thankful just to have made a positive(?) impact on someone's life.

And I'm thankful for the special brand of literature that you've graced us with on this site and the world. And for the zaniness that accompanies it.:twilightsmile:

Have a Happy Turkey Day, Highest of the Fuzzed Leaping Primates.

Funny thing is, the number of SunsetSparkle I've fed (canned?) him is far, far lower compared to all the AppleDash and other things I've sent. idk

3570320 I think i'm partially responsible for linking appledash, though. Skirts being one of the better known fans of it :P

3570321
I think you're more responsible for being the root of all of it. It seems like at least half the stuff I find is noted as being commissioned by you.:rainbowwild:

3570324 Nah, just the feathermarking pics. :trixieshiftleft:
:trixieshiftright:

I think I can speak for the Jury when I say that the pleasure has been all ours. Our lives would be just that much less full if it weren't for you bringing us all together.

And thank you for writing and continuing to write for us. No, really.

I'm grateful for it.

I'm thankful for The Things Tavi Says

If I may speak for the more casual posters and the silent lurkers... thank you SO much for your ceaseless determination to provide content for us all. You've invoked interest and emotion in thousands of people, and all humility aside, there's a reason you have as many followers as you do. You've got a lot of admirers, and you ought to be proud of something like that.

Have a happy Thanksgiving everyone. :twilightsmile:

And I'm thankful I have the pleasure and opportunity to follow the kaizoest of kaizo writers on this site. Stay Golden, Ponyboy! :rainbowdetermined2:

I’m thankful for a certain princess-loving idiot who continues to write horse words despite what it does to his sanity.

Your masochism and dedication are much appreciated, Skirts.

We strut and announce our voice on stage but for a moment, and then are heard of no more.

I wonder if Rourke has set up Goblin judicial system, in that any Goblin wishing to commit a crime, has to beat her in bladed legal combat first. Any Goblin commiting a crime, gets used as an example of vivisection? she has to keep up her sparring skills someway?

Im hallucinating on cashews. :pinkiesad2: Too much food at once. :pinkiecrazy:

Thanks for giving me something(s) to look forward to every night, and for getting me more involved in this fandom than I ever intended.

I'm thankful for you, and giving me great stories to check up on everyday! Thank you!

This is as tail end of the day as it gets, But I'm thankful for this fandom for giving me something to enjoy instead of merely tolerate, thankful for Skirts for putting words in front of me. (A LOT of words.) And I'm Thankful for the friends I was able to spend today with.

I'm grateful for Shortskirtsandexplosions, short skirts, and explosions. The former for writing escapades that helped me through a very rough time in my life... latter two because who doesn't love those in a good movie? :twilightblush:

These words are for you. They are drab and they are dismal and they are dull, but they are yours to make poetry with

Echoing this. Austraeoh and its sequels has become part of my daily routine. Thanks for being a source of something to look forwards to every day, to spam links with, being a fun guy to chat with on occasion, and of course trigger my arachnophobia.

Well, you can't have peace without ghosts.

I love you, you wonderful lemur. Thanks for being the constant, the reliably absurd, and the insanely creative one. Happy thanksgiving, dear sir.

Thank you Skirts. You've created things that will stay with me for life.

I'm thankful for Floydien Slip, Sharp Quill, Lightning Bearer, Piercing Sight, Prismic, Titanium Dragon, and all the other marsupials whose comments and written words have done lots to enliven the literature I've slathered onto this digispace.

Aw, thank you. :heart:

I'm so glad I joined this fandom, you folks are great.

I've always respected your ability to actually write large volumes of pony words on a consistent basis. You always show that we could be doing more, and that we can always do more if only we try.

I'm thankful for your blog posts.

And i am thankful that you share some of your awesome mind with us by writing the awesome stuff you do, especially the east horse ... ohh the east horse...
OH ! and like super thankful for.. you know.. Keris :heart: :rainbowlaugh:

I'm thankful for Floydien Slip, Sharp Quill, Lightning Bearer, Piercing Sight, Prismic, Titanium Dragon, and all the other marsupials whose comments and written words have done lots to enliven the literature I've slathered onto this digispace.

Your stories make it fun, and for that I give thanks.

I'm thankful for you, Skirts.

You old fuzzbutt, you. :heart:

I'm thankful that I don't have to partake in a holiday where we're forced to share our embarassing personal feelings on the anniversary of the day we butchered a load of random native people and forced them off their lands to die in the wastelands that make up most of America, all the while celebrating the event by humanising the animal that we're killing and eating for the traditional meal. But then again, Britain doesn't have any holidays, so I'm still somewhat envious. However, it's customary to dislike anything you colonialists do that we don't. Learn to work all year, you gun-toting tossers! And to queue, and speak English, et cetera.
Of course, I read Utaan yesterday like every other day of the year, so I concede that you probably work a lot more than I do regardless. So... thanks, Colon old boy. You're a veritable geyser of kaizo horse words, and you write far more and far better horse words than you have any right to do. Good on you.

Applejack!

I agree. I've met some snazzy folk since being introduced.

Also, Skype is terrible; the Jury should stop using it and find something else so I can join y'all in conversation again.

I agree, the concept of using Skype for permanent chatrooms still mystifies me. IRC has been used for decades and does the job much better, dagnabbit!

:pinkiesmile: :rainbowdetermined2: :ajsmug: :twilightsheepish: :yay: :raritystarry:
SS&E 4eva!

:heart: You're awesome :heart:

I'm thank full for you and your beatiful stories they have continued to inspire me and iv learned a lot simply rereading your works.
- that guy who just won't stop asking about the end of ponies

Awwww. Thank you, sir, for giving me inspiration and truths I didn't know that I needed. You're a wonderful friend.:twilightsmile:

Thank you Skirts, for giving me East Horse. 'Nuff said. :twilightsmile:
