If anyone's been wondering where I am, here it is. · 11:02pm Jan 25th, 2018
I haven't been in the ponyfic game for a while. Like a couple years. Mainly because I didn't find a whole lot of time, or I'd mainly go on here once in a while to check out a clopfic or something. Pretty much it hasn't crossed my mind to go on fimfic in a really long time. I've gotten more into building my car, and I got another car for drifting, which I need to get off my ass and fix instead of typing this (if I'm being honest). I've been with the same auto repair company for what will be 4 years in February, and it's kinda alright. I've lost a lot of the passion I used to have for things (cars, writing, romance), but I'm not really sure if I can call it depression since I don't feel hopeless and worthless all the time. I guess I'm just... living. I have big goals, and small ones, and I try to get to them. That's really it.
I also haven't been as big into MLP anymore. I mainly just go on shitposting groups on Facebook cuz it's fun, and moderate on an auto enthusiast/brony group. I didn't really keep up with the s7 episodes as they were coming out because it was more of a backburner thing for me. I've gotten a lot more into anime though, and have watched hundreds of hours of it. In fact, due to anime, I saw that there was a car sub-culture called 'itasha' and instantly fell in love with it. I've met some pretty incredible people with itasha cars and decided I wanted to do that myself. And what better first itasha to have than my first real fandom? My Little Pony. Plus, I haven't seen anyone else with ponies on their car, so it'd be a bit of a first for the itasha community.
On December 21st, I had my Civic wrapped in Rainbow Dash, because I'd done renders of it like that previously, and because I named the car Dashie and it was already set in stone at that point. I just set it as my avatar, but I plan to add more to it as I get ideas. She's been in one show already, and I have plans to put her in 4 or 5 more this year, along with various car meets in and around the Austin, Tx area. I don't normally like being under the spotlight or having a lot of attention on me, but I will say it's been really nice getting so much attention and pictures taken. If you'd like to see more, I post sometimes on instagram (which I'd never used before I had a car that necessitated it): dashie_ek
I also got a bit of hate from 4chan (as everyone who makes themselves vulnerable there does) because of having ponies on the car, but I answered all questions honestly so I (hopefully) wouldnt be targeted by them. I seen the shit they can do.
I probably won't be on the site so much still. But if anyone has any questions, feel free to leave them down below. I may not get to them right away but I can at least guarantee it won't take two years to reply.
(Also low-key if anyone wants to submit my car to Equestria Daily I'd fucking love you <3 )
