Back from the depths! · 9:09pm Jun 24th, 2014
Hello everyone, it's your favorite neurotic mess, ArmedBrony! I'm pretty sure a majority of you were wondering what's been going on, and I'm here to update you on my status.
Now, I'm sure most of you are familiar with the amount of mental anguish that I've been putting myself through ever since the last update of Wilted Flower, and how various factors on the site have fueled my neuroses. Well, I still have jealousy and envy over the more popular writers on the site, but I'm finally making headway on that front; I'm beginning to care less about what others think/say, but I still have a long way to go before I'm completely "healthy" mentally.
My main problem was losing sight of why I enjoyed writing, before I began to focus too much on popularity and wanting to be better than everyone else. I know now that I shouldn't try to be better than others, but to try and be a better me. I also lost sight of you, my followers, and the outpouring of support you've offered me, but I was too stubborn and ignorant to listen. Well, all that stops right now. Essentially, I'm willing to accept any and all assistance you guys are willing to give me.
As for Wilted Flower, I got a few hundred words down last night, and boy did it feel odd to be writing again. It was a good kind of odd, though, so I know that I still have the passion to write. What I need from you guys, is some ideas for situations you'd like to see Jason get into; I already have a few I'm going to use, but I'm not really the best in terms of being creative. So throw anything at me. Seriously. No matter how ridiculous it is. If I use your idea(s), I'll make sure to give you credit for it. It's the least i can do for the help.
As for my other stories/ideas, I need to get cracking on those as well. In the same tune as Wilted Flower, I'm open to suggestions on what I could possibly do for situations and such.
Again, I can't stress enough how much you guys mean to me that you follow me and enjoy my horsewords! Without you all, I wouldn't be where I am today!
Good to see you getting back in the saddle bud.
What about his test? Maybe they will test him how he can deal with magic since he can, and tell him that all earth ponies had a special enchanted armor that deflect low level magic and offer him a shield since he is the only candidate that could wild it and it can deflect almost any kind of magic, and because of that and its design neither unicorn, earth pony or pegasus can use it, but if he pass they could give him an opportunity
Glad to see you back around here man. You take care in mental health problems, they can kick your ass real bad. Much love
Tell you what, I'll re-read Wilted Flower and then I'll tell you.
I'm glad you're back to writing.
For situations Jason could be in; during training have him put into a squad that has a few trouble making/clumsy ponies that he has to put up with.
Glad to hear this, I've been looking forward to an update for the longest time
2231176 already said it best!
And I hear you on the mental anguish front, probably not in exactly the same way but surely as hard to live with sometimes. So it's relieving to know there are some good songs out there that can help me grin and bear it.

I can say that the next chapter will star everyone's favorite Royal pain in the ass! It'll be a good one. I am assured of this.
Situation: Fleur somehow ends up on Jason when they(nonsensually) sleep in the same bed and Jason can't get her off himself, cuz weight and legs(and he really needs to pee).
Oh yeah, I suggest you become a philosopher, you'll lose any mental conditions you would have and the world will also look alot brighter.
