I don't usually discuss personal matters here, but this one is fairly major. To give you an idea how much so, let me tell you a story:

Merry Christmas/Enjoy your Monday to one and all! I got fun books, more stylish clothes than I'd consider for myself (and socks that derive the Einsteinian mass-energy equivalence,) and Explorers of Ixalan, but the real gift was seeing everyone else's reactions to what I got them. I only started giving gifts a few years ago, and there's a great deal of joy in seeing that you got something they were hoping for, or didn't even know they wanted.

All stories stop. Some are lucky enough to end properly.
(Before anyone panics, this isn’t goodbye from Fimfiction.)
As the tags indicate, this is a sentimental blog. I'm giving a sendoff to a helper and friend that has been with me for years, but with which I must now part ways.

And best troll lived.
I don't post much nonpony, but this... This is special to me.
The fact that these pillars of my childhood have returned home. The fantastically crafted moveset. The bits of other Banjo-Kazooie level themes slipped in the Spiral Mountain rearrangement.
Sometimes you encounter a confluence of concepts that feels custom-tailored for your enjoyment. Such as your obsession of the last decade crosing over with the first video game you ever owned.
Just wanted to share this.
Well, this wasn't supposed to take this long. In any case, you may have noticed a theme with my last three stories. This was intentional.
