    Been a while...

    Hi folks. How are you doing? Been a while. I like to imagine in the great solar system that if FimFic I'm some trans-Neptunian object that only occasionally comes into view intermittently before wandering out to the cold antipodes of space to which I belong. Personally life has been the same. Some original writing. Glacial progress on Homelands, but its not dead. I'm going to be at EFNW in

    Feeling better. Also, an interview.

    So my temperature is almost back to normal and I feel a lot better. Hopefully in a month or two I can get an antibody test and find out if that was C19 or just flu. Anyway, either way, doing better.

    I'm also going to be doing an interview for the midair pony faire on twitch. It'll be on Horizons, Homelands, and Worldbuilding in general.

    C19, cons, and other stuff.

    So 2020 sucks. It just sucks. I'm sick with something and waiting on a C19 test. Hopefully it's just a flu or some junk.
    But there is something good happening on the 25th. Ponyfest Online is a discord con and I'm going to be holding an hour long discussion on character creation, evolution and development.

Wow... it's been a while. · 8:23am Jan 17th, 2019

Ever look at your blog history and realize that you haven't updated in 500 days? Yeah.

Anyone want me to talk about anything?

Skeeter: Life's been... life. I moved to a new city to try and make a new life, but it's pretty much like the old one. I hope things work out.

Who: I'm... not enthusiastic for gen 5. Gen 4 was a huge success and I'm afraid that a relaunch is only going to be inferior. I've never been a fan of relaunching a story. Like, how many times do we need Batman or Spiderman's origin story. I'd rather gen 5 have new characters rather than redesigns of old ones...

Hinds: So so. I'm trying to do better, but I'm almost 40 with no retirement and loans. No idea how I'm supposed to manage the rest of my life.

Illu: Yup. Decided to say 'fuck it' and put it out. Editors are whacking it into shape now and I should put it up this weekend.

Master Derek: Yup. Bronycon looks more serious. I have someone helping me with the air fare. I hope I can get on some writing panels, or an FoE panel, if they'll allow it.

Otaku: So so. Getting older. Trying. Failing. Trying some more. In the end, my life is what it is and I have no one to blame but myself.

Brony: I hope so. I really do.

You will Finish your Story with Scotch Tape, right?

And i asked before, but i Hope you enjoyed the Story i made with her.

Was just surfing through the posts of my old Facebook RP account from around 2012, and I'm discovering that the me of that time was waaay cringier than I remember.

Anyway, how are you, Somber?

Got any convention plans? I heard you were thinking about heading to the last Bronycon on the Barcast interview.

Any news on Homelands?

Ah, yes, it has, hasn't it? Nice to hear from you, though. :)
How've you been? Not too bad, I hope?

Brain drippings was always a fun subject or just vent about how crappy work is. Share some thoughts on the current state of the world or share your thoughts on the apparent leaks for the next gen of MLP chars.

Has life been good to you?

Anyone want me to talk about anything?

Yes, go talk about anything you consider interesting enough to talk about.

Ayyy, good to hear from ya Somber. Also please go to the community page of your Patreon.

Good to hear from you Somber.

If ima be honest im kinda excited for gen 5, while its true sometimes reboots and retellings can suck
sometimes, rarely but it happens, they equal or outshine the original.

watch 'judge dredd' with Stallone
then watch the reboot that was made a few years ago simply titled 'dredd' the latter is, for fans of the source material at least, the far superior product.

Yeah the ideas for G5 look solid, just like the quality of seasons have been improving. And the scuttle is that the current team will be on it

Good to hear from you^^ Any interesting thoughts as of late? Any new (or old) shows you've watched or games played? Or books or stories read (he asked, recalling what type of website this is:derpytongue2:)? Anything happening?

I just checked your blogs yesterday and thought to myself "Hope Somber is doing okay." Glad to see a post from you. :)

Nice to hear from you! Wish you luck with whatever you're doing now =)

Good hearing from you again Somber! Good luck with whatever it is you're at right now!

Although, like just about everyone else here I am anxiously waiting for a Homelands update, but don't rush it man. Take your time if you must.

Well that was mildly depressing to read.
Do you still answer questions about Project Horizon? I’ve got one about Discord that’s been in the back of my head for quiet awhile, and this is the first time I’ve actually had an account to comment about it with.

mostly improving yeah, season seven was gold...the fanalie was a bit lackluster but still fun
8 on the other hand....sad to say theres only one or two episodes in season 8 i enjoyed, the rest were either meh or ew

(three episodes if you count the christmass special as part of season 8)

Good to hear you're still around. Big fan of all your stuff and especially looking forward to more homelands one day. Also really interested in Friendship is Incarceration, something about it really gets into my head. I was super excited to see it updated a few months back and really hope to see more!

Nothing really to ask. Just good to hear from you and know you're still out there.

How's things been with Peak Season being over? I used to work for a Walmart Distribution center so I can relate to the demands and hours of working those extended days where things are shipping all the time.

Well glad to see y'all still kicking around.

I injured by back the last day of peak after a 6 day in a row work week. I was shot. Doing better now.

5000887
Well, I hope you didn’t actually get shot, but I’m glad you’re doing better either way. At least with Peak Season over you’ll have more time to relax and recover

Can we ask questions here?
