Afternoon everyone

Well, I finally finished the Fluttershy chapter, and I must say, I was pretty surprised at how may things I put down in it were so personal. I'm always on the fence when I write anything as to whether or not I want to include Fluttershy as a character because every time I do, it always gets far to easy to write like I am that character. Maybe that says something about how dangerously close I can relate or what I see in her that I see in myself. Maybe I'm just crazy and it's all meaningless code on a page of squares, but somewhere I'd like to think it means more than just that.
If you listen to that song I linked above, it's more or less a good example of the theme I have going on here in the story, and it really fits my life pretty well too. If anything I think that's what makes this story so meaningful to me. An excuse to explore my feelings over the past few years, even get out some of the experiences I've felt once upon a time. A place to be me without being myself. By the way, that 'other name' she went by might just come up later, so don't forget it~

In other news, I finished that Fluttershy Hunter picture a little while ago after I finished the Flutershy run of Bloodborne that I'd been doing. The burial blade was a ton of fun to use and that scythe is one of my favorite weapons now. I then decided to do a strength/tinge run as pinkie with the party Cannon as my sidearm, and holy hell am I unused to playing with a strength weapon again. Since I decided I'd gimp myself by not using the most OP weapon in the game, I had a hard time getting to the weapon I had actually planned to use, which is located all the way at the end of the DLC which was a pain and a half to get through. But, somehow, I managed to keep my resolve and get through it all anyway.
You never feel quite a sense of accomplishment when you beat something that you had just about given up on an hour ago. The Living Failures are cancer bosses and I hate them... before I knew how easy it was to abuse beasthood on them. Once I figured that out, they went down pretty quick. Ponk will have a hard time, but doing like 600 a shot with the cannon will be worth it, I keep telling myself. Doing two consecutive runs in which I parry everything to death, then basically not parrying at all has been a difficult transition, to say the least. That picture should be done sometime next week and will be titled, 'Smile for the camera.'

I really enjoyed yesterday's episode. It was like Lesson Zero: Starlight edition, and it was kind of perfect for her character. She kind of exists existentially for some reason lately, and I think that's a little weird, but whatever, at least she appears more often than not. (still waiting on my Celestia Episode. sigh) I like starlight and it's nice to see her get some development. Chances are she won't appear in Super, but who knows, I might do something with her.

Anyways, that's all for today. I only have so much time to break my legs at the gym before it closes today. More Super next week... probably... and maybe a few art projects here and there We'll see what I can come up with for Pinkie. She's the only one I've had trouble defining a back story for, save for the major event. Sorry if I got a little too personal there. Have a good week.
