    day with Regidar

    I1 elucidated myself to consciousness at about 6 AM on Sunday, 2024-04-28, coming from a strange dream.2 After some further brief relapses to slumber, I dressed and made my way to the kitchen. My breakfast consisted of two plain bread rolls. I spent some time sitting, staring, listening to music.3 I then made my exit.

    Feelin' fine but it must be the wine*... (A.K.A. let's talk about Destroyer)

    'Cause it's April 27th and my baby's still dyin' on me that date just so happens to be mentioned in the Destroyer song The Music Lovers! So let's celebrate - get out your Your Blues record and give it a spin! Or of course, you could listen to the version on Notorious Lightning and Other Works. Or maybe the

    Let's read poetry!

    Poetry doesn't get nearly enough attention on fimfic, so I thought I'd put together a list of some of my favourite poetry on the site and why I like it. I'm gonna try and keep myself to one fic per user, but please know most of the users included here do have other poetry fics that are just as worth reading! I'll try and keep this updated as I find more poetry I like.

    Questions and Answers

    Hey! If you've been poking around fimfic lately, or (like me) you've been a fan of It Is All Hell from DAY ONE, you might have seen a few interviews they've done pop up. If you're like me, you'll also have noticed that these interviews, so far, consist

Short upd8 · 5:40pm Nov 14th, 2023

Hi!
I'll start simple. The point of this blog post is mostly just to say: I am still working on "Applejack and Rarity: Scenes from a relationship.". I'm over halfway through writing the second chapter right now! I know it's going... slowly. I've managed to publish two one-shots in the time it's taken me to write half a chapter, yes, but I want to make sure chapter 2 is good. I want to take my time. Just call my other fics practice! :raritywink:
I started this fic because I had a story I was passionate about and a story I wanted to tell, so I will tell it. Even if it kills me. (Okay, maybe not.)

Speaking of my other fics, I'm really shocked with the reception I've gotten for "colts don't cry". Thank you to everyone who read it, everyone who liked it, and everyone who left a thumbs up! It really does mean a lot to me. Like, really. It was a weird, feverous, almost personal story (not the, uh, cousin kissing stuff though) so it really is insane to me to see people able to connect with it and enjoy it. Thank you.

Oh, and I know "Sugarcube Maud-ner" is a pretty big change of pace from my other fics - I don't want people to think I've given up on my quest to be the most pretentious fimfic user just yet. I'm mainly writing it as a chance to practice a bit more of light, fluffy dialogue since I've hit a bit of a brick wall with AJARY:SFAR for a scene that requires a lot of light, fluffy dialogue. I might write more fics like this. I might not. Either way, I won't let it get in the way of my dense, obsessive, pretentious calling. AJARY:SFAR will be worked on, along with any other heavy, weird, overly prosaic stories that come to mind.

Anyway, no matter why you're here - thank you. I hope you enjoy whatever I end up churning out next. (Hopefully chapter 2.)
