...needing to scream into the void.

"But," as Simon and Garfunkel sang, "all my words come back to me / In shades of mediocrity / Like emptiness in harmony", so I'll use someone else's.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,

This has been going around the site, and I'll help where I can.

An Intricate Disguise needs help. Donate, signal boost, anything you can do; just don't sit by and do nothing.

This story was an exercise in writing, particularly in the process of writing. I've written several stories on this site, and so far I am satisfied with none of them. I don't consider myself a real writer, in part because I've only ever been able to finish short, one- to three-chapter fanfics. And I know why that is (aside from the fact that I'm a terrible procrastinator).

Look, I know that I'm kind of a nobody on this site, but I've decided to pick up Crystal Wishes' "Share a Smile" idea. In case you haven't heard of it, here's what she wrote:

Something just occurred to me: if baby unicorns can perform such advanced spells as phasing through walls (as Pumpkin Cake did in Baby Cakes) or even teleporting (Flurry Heart did that a couple times, if I'm not mistaken), then why does unicorn magic have to be studied and taught? If babies are doing these things instinctively, then why don't all adult unicorns at least know how? Why do new spells have to be written and theorized and whatever if unicorn magic in foals is first nature? Starlight

I'm trying to come up with a character name, but I have a lot of trouble in this area. The character is a male batpony, one of Princess Luna's knights. The story is mostly about Luna, but I need her to talk with this knight, and I'm having a ton of trouble coming up with a name. Just in case anyone is listening, and has any ideas...

Now we need some sort of badger-snake hybrid if we're going to be fair to the other Houses.

(Yes, I am aware that Gryphons have been around for centuries. I was aware of their legends before I ever even heard of Harry Potter. Just to clarify.)

I can't decide on my favorite season! Here's why:

Summer:
Good: I can get away with eating lots of frozen stuff (when I do that in winter, people look at me funny), thunderstorms, Renaissance fairs towards the end, theater really kicks up
