What direction I'm going in at the moment... · 6:01pm Sep 25th, 2016
Seeing me in your notifications without a story update but with another blog to (hopefully) distract you from my inactivity must suck. Don't worry, I'll get there. I'm just a bit... empty when it comes to inspiration and everything...
Which is what I'm actually gonna talk about right now!
You see, back in the good ol' days of The Diary of Spike the Dragon, there was a distinct difference of my feelings about... a lot of things then than they are right now. Beside the fact that I was younger and didn't have to deal with... life being too much of a prick, I was a die-hard MLP fan, all other fandoms I somewhat liked were just secondary things I did when I had done so much MLP that there wasn't much of it to look at. I'd distract myself with the other stuff to wait for more MLP content. And though I'm stilltrying to lose weight so I can fit into that Pinkie Pie shirt, and I still wear my Rainbow Dash hoodie, things are much different. I have delved into many fandoms. The main ones I am currently active in is Undertale, Steven Universe, Anime and Furry. Especially furry. Constantly doing furry art, I do furry commissions at times, I even have made some cool furry art...
My fursona is my profile picture. I even prefer people to call me "Wrangle" online. On G+ I am a part of at least 10 furry communities... Seriously...
Furry is my main fandom.
Mlp has grown just a tad... stale.
I mean, I'm no longer rushing to be on time for the livestream of a new episode. Actually, I haven't even seen the past 3 recent episodes. Really, my involvement with MLP has been very minimal. I hardly even do MLP art anymore. MLP is what made me grow at art, but I haven't been doing it lately. And so... doing MLP stuff isn't so exciting anymore.
But, I'm not saying that I'm quitting MLP. No, you see, there's something keeping me here. It's... Fimfiction. It's the stories and people on here that keep me attached to MLP. Honestly, without this site, I would have definitely left the fandom. Buuuut my lack of interest still hinders me when it comes to making the story. It's really been holding me up and updates are really hard.
I've made it a goal to finish this story. A personal one that I'd feel incomplete without doing. And I think that I know why it's so hard.
This story. I need something different. So once this story is over, don't expect a sequel. Perhaps similar themes, but not a continuation. I think I've grown tired of seeing the same things.
So yeah, just posting my thoughts and realizations.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I actually feel pretty sick to my stomach at the moment. I'll reply to any comments when I feel better.
Yeah, I get you. Besides your story and one of another pal, the only thing I've read here in the past six months is that Fall of Equestria meets Doom that exploded recently (pun intended.) I am currently somewhere in the deepest dregs of the Undertale trash can, and it is glorious. I'm not getting rid of my army of pony minis, and I'd sooner die than give up my new Discord statue, but MLP has been bumped down a few spots on my priority list. Heck, I had a whole pony based saga in the planning phase for about a year, but I dropped it for my Undertale one (which is doing quite well.)
Take as much time as you need, because I make it a point to stick around here for when you do put something up. And that's a promise, Soni... I mean, Wrangle. That's going to take some getting used to. I mean, I've been liking the shorter Psyby for myself, but that's still similar to Psychic Beagle, literally just mashing together the first syllable of each. I will fix my muscle memory, I assure you.
Until then, I hope you feel better and, as always, I look forward to the next update.
Yeah, pretty much the same, I've missed the whole seasons from three or four? I don't remember, the thing is I only remember the episode where Twilight was doing something to do with university or something and then I lost interest XD
