I finally figured out how to put this thing on my profile. This is the best thing to happen to me since Princess Celestia teleported me to Equestria so that I could romance her student and sister.

A Serious Blog About Being Back · 7:44pm Jan 22nd, 2017

Get ready to cry and shit. :rainbowkiss:

Best background pony.



One year and 13 days ago, I asked Meeester to ban my account. I didn't break any rules that merited a ban, nor did I expect to be gone quite as long as I ended up being gone for. A year is a long time on this site. I figure the majority of users who used to care about my presence no longer care. FIMFiction is still going strong, and I was gone for a substantial amount of time. I have no delusions as to what my return to this site means.

Ultimately, that is what I wanted, I think. I've made a few blogs in the past about my handling of fame. I worry all the time about striking gold with something, being flocked with attention, and losing what makes me happy to do what I do. I like being the resident faggot of FIMFiction, but I don't like being known by everyone as the resident faggot of FIMFiction. Seeing my follower count get over 500 felt a little overwhelming.

There were other factors at play that led into my departure as well. I have access to FIMFiction while at work, and my job for 9/10 of my shift is monitoring. I can't just stare at a wall of colors and freak out every time I see something blink red for approximately 20 seconds before turning green again. My direct manager understands this and allows me some time to entertain myself so I don't fall asleep at my desk. The problem was mostly how much time I was spending on FIMFiction, writing reviews, replying to comments with essays, and keeping on top of my feed. The amount of traffic that goes through this account is sufficient that I could work full-time just managing what I want to do on this account, and I don't get paid to manage this account, so removing access also removed the temptation of using this account at work altogether.

My solution is to use an alt account that I originally created and screenshotted myself using in my blog post where I said I trolled someone. You'll see me using my alt account, Sir Kuljurk, from time to time because he's not following very many people, he's not a member of very many groups, and he's not holding very many private conversations with all the cool users on the site. It's a lot easier to not dig in like a tick when I'm not feeling like I'm in the center of everything.

I was also experiencing relationship problems at that point in my life, in addition to the work turbulence and my best friend's impending mortality that I talked about in late December 2015. I'm happy to say that I'm not currently experiencing any life-shattering relationship problems, the work turbulence has entirely smoothed over, and my friend is alive and well and I've been spending as much time as I can with him (difficult to do when I live so far away).

Five days ago, I figured it would be as good an inconspicuous day as any to reappear. I messaged Meeester from Sir Kuljurk and explained that I felt I'd been gone long enough and had figured my shit out, and he said "K" and unbanned me.

Aside from the allure of distraction that this account affords and the difficulties that made me concerned with what I myself would make public knowledge, I think I really just wanted to have a big think about what would happen if my popularity were to get to the point that I would stop seeing myself as... well, myself. A year to let everyone forget about me seemed like the best way of effectively killing my momentum. So far, I think it worked. In the future, if undue popularity starts to become a concern for me again, I'm confident that I'll do a better job of managing it.

There's only one major problem that's come up in my entire absence...

This was Rad Chad, one of the greatest users to ever grace this site. If my relationship with him was like a story, it would be Romeo and Juliet, with the caveat being that when I awakened from my slumber, I took one look at him bleeding on the floor and was like, "Fuck this."

Rest in peace, Chad. You will be missed. :fluttercry:

Welcome back, Scootareader

1. OMFG, YOUR ALT!!! I KNOW THAT ACCONT!!! ... Or I thought I did ... I almost feel stupid now.:applejackconfused:
2. As for Chad, I was surprised myself when he left. I didn't know or talk to him much, but the few times I did interact with him were pretty enjoyable. Actually, a number of people have sadly left, blanking their accounts. It's sad.:ajsleepy:

But anyway, it's wonderful having you back, Scoots.:twilightsmile::heart:

I missed you resident faggot. Good to see you back man.

Hmmm, ''tis the Scoot. :derpytongue2:

Good to hear from you again. And yes, I was sad as well when i heard Chad decided to leave.

Your back! Yay!

Oh my gosh, unwatched

Um, hi. :yay:

4392422 That is beautiful!:raritystarry: Who is the artist and do they have that for other characters?

4392431
It's worth noting that's not exactly the same character, they're just eerily similar. Both my favourite characters from my two obsessions. :pinkiehappy: (Patchouli Knowledge is the humanoid.) The artist is SweetSound, though I don't they they have any more counterpart-art.

4392392
Thank ye. :rainbowkiss:

4392397
Yeah, I think we had a couple conversations on that account. :rainbowlaugh: Dewy's blogs, if I'm not mistaken.

4392405
To celebrate, you should finish Applejack's Stetson Hat. :trollestia:

4392416
Right, you used to talk to him a bunch too! Us poor individuals that are lost since Chad left us. :raritydespair:

4392422
Hi again. Been a while. :ajsmug:

4392470
Indeed! Is good to see you. :3

4392461 Noted. They do look very similar. And thanks.:twilightsmile:

4392470 :pinkiegasp: OMG, YES!!! ... My brain.:applejackconfused:

4392470 Lol... I'm surprised you remember that. I actually did write a few chapters for it this past summer believe it or not, and I'm only like a chapter away from completion. If only could stop being such a lazy piece of bum shit, I could actually get some writing done. :heart:

Once again, glad to have you back man. Even if you weren't really gone XD.

I hated Chad... He fucked with a lot of my friends and wasn't worth the shit that came out of his ass.

4392506
I didn't actually know that and just assumed you hadn't written any more. I'm sorry for judging you prematurely. :raritywink: Glad to hear you made some progress, though! That story is how I originally found you, I think... so yeah, I remember it quite clearly.

4392530
That may be true, but I also loved him. :raritydespair: He had a knack of coming across as pointlessly cruel to more sensitive people, but I don't get offended, so I found his rudeness comedic. :raritywink:

4392540
I love that GIF. Holy shit I love it.

4392555 Ah it's okay lol. Like everything I've done on this site, I am horribly inconsistent with that story so I don't blame you for thinking that.

Oh and I miss that motherfucker Rad Chad too... He was a true inspiration to me as well.

4392555 we shall continue to disagree, cause he did nothing acceptable in my book and I'm glad he's gone.

4392644
Rad Chad certainly isn't for everyone. :raritywink:

"Rad Chad" Really? Is/was a troll of the highest order.

4392803
That was all part of his beauty. :twistnerd:

4392806 You too were lovers?

4392803 A far better troll than you are, in my opinion, as he can actually make people upset, you just piss people off with your stupidity and hypocrisy.

4392878 You want to dance with me?

4392882 Naw, I said my piece, I'm done.

4392888 Hit and runner? I see . So what friend of yours did make look like a fool?

whalecum bak scootaloo! not much as chanched her sense ou last leaved us!


Also, R.I.P. Rad Chad :'(

Welcome back bro

I miss your jokes about fapping to my selfies.

4393571
Why do you think I was gone for an entire year? :ajsmug:

4393612 Oh my god wat

I'm afraid I have no idea who you are, but welcome back?

What the shit I didn't expect you to come back.

...Welcome back.

~Skeeter The Lurker

I've been rather absent myself, with the occasional popping in to post a chapter or to handle the immense notifications that show up while I'm away, but I am very glad you're back! Sorry I only realized it now. I was very sad when you left. I never forgot you, and I still want to meet up with you sometime in the Area That We Both Live In. It'd be fun. I don't even care about being pony friends, I just always thought you were a cool dude and it'd be nice to have another real life friend to hang out with.

Hay bby I missed u2. :heart:
