    My Very Last Blog Post - Goodbye

    As of now, I think the time has come to finally abandon my Fimfiction page. I don't particularly want any involvement in the MLP community any longer and I hold no interest in continuing to be an active member. While my page remains open to everyone, I've logged out permanently and don't think I'll return to it or use it again. No more blogs, no more stories, no related content - it's over.

    I'm never going to be the person that... (Facts of life)

    I'm never going to be the person who goes out drinking with friends in the pub at the end of the week,
    I'm never going to be the person to enter a stable relationship,
    I'm never going to be the person to cry for those who won't cry for me,
    I'm never going to be the person who gives up over a little tough break,

    Either stay or leave. Don't play me about.

    If you're staying, stay.

    If you're playing around with me, kindly fuck off. I'm not in the mood.

    Either follow or don't follow. It really is that simple. Make up your mind already.

    Thank you. :ajsleepy:

    Need a distraction from your low mood? Here's an old photo of my guinea pig :3

    Because I'm sad and because my guinea pig is an adorable fwubby enchanted squeaking potato, here's Oscar laying down and snuggling into his brother, Guinness's guinea bum. Don't ask why he did that, just look at how cute he's being. Requires all the ear rubs. Should have called him Sir Purrsalot. 🐹

    ''Applejack, are you gay?'' French Translation - if you're interested.

    Back when I introduced this story a few years ago, I was approached by a French Translator called Rainbowsoarin007 and they requested me to allow them to turn my story into a French translation for viewers in that part of the world and those who speak it.

An Englishman has a question for Americans about their candy - what is this? (No, seriously, I have no idea. Can you tell me?) · 11:22pm Jun 23rd, 2020

Calling all Americans out there, I have one question for you:

What is Laffy-Taffy? :derpytongue2:

Moreover, what is Taffy in general???

A confused, curious Englishman.

Taffy is when you pull sugar, butter, and other stuff until it traps air to get it light and fluffy.

It’s terrible, IMHO, but now you know what it is.

Laffy Taffy is the commercial, even more terrible version of the stuff.

I also want to add that they all come with very bad puns on the wrapping,

5291968
Yea, honestly Admirals right, the stuffs really bad. I don't understand why it was a big thing back in the day.

It sounds like something we have over here called nougat. I think you have it over there, but you pronounce it, ''nu-get''or ''nu-gar''. The pink and white one is very popular around coastal towns and seasides. Tbh, the process looks interesting, but in its unfinished stages, it looks like an anorexic mess. I'd try it, by all means, but my sweet tooth is for hard-boiled sweets called Kopp Kops. Or toffee bon bons. Have you heard of Kopp sweets before?

Have you heard/had a chocolate biscuit called a Penguin before? They were really popular here and they always had very bad puns on them, too. Like, so bad if you'd dare to laugh, you'd literally feel a piece inside you die. I think they stopped making them sometime during the mid-2000's.

We have nougat, that’s the stuff inside candy bars. It’s not at all like taffy--for starters, it tastes good. And it’s typically more fluffy and less chewy, at least in my experience.

I neglected to mention that taffy was invented in New Jersey, which is another reason to stay away from it.

Bon Jovi was also invented in New Jersey, so I guess there’s exceptions to the rule.

I bet he left the state as soon as he could. :rainbowlaugh:

Duly noted. I personally love nougat. It's rare that I can get it, but it's easy to get here if you're in a coastal area, especially. That and fudge. God, I love fudge! Even better when it has whiskey in it! :pinkiehappy: If you get the chance to try Jack Daniels whiskey fudge, try it!


5292155

I can't imagine why! (Sarcasm detected) :rainbowlaugh:

I believe Admiral already answered it well

God, I love fudge! Even better when it has whiskey in it!

I dunno about whiskey fudge--never tried it--but up here in Michigan we’ve got a whole island where everything is horse-powered and all they do is make fudge the old-fashioned way.

Old-fashioned fudge is probably the best kind. Any made using traditional methods are usually the best kinds, no argument there. You can buy it in certain towns around England. There's a place in the Lake District, which is the area around Dorset, and there's an old-fashioned sweet shop that sells tins of traditional fudge, and the creaminess of it does not disappoint!

If I ever find myself up in Michigan one day, I'll have to try your fudge and see for myself. It sounds like a place I'd enjoy, actually, so It'd worth a visit if I'm in the States.

(If you wanna try the whiskey fudge, Jack Daniels is the best one I've tried. Either regular whiskey or honey whiskey. It depends on how sweet you like your fudge. It's seriously nice stuff. :ajsmug:)
