    Update, long overdue

    To anyone out there still listening. Hi. I hope you're well, and safe. Obligatory 2020 is hell comment and all that jazz.

    I'm doing well. Not amazing, but amazing is a hard trick to pull right now for any of us.

    I sit here, trying to articulate the emotions I am feeling, and somehow convey them in words. And it's not going very well. I am failing.

    Good news

    Ejection Fraction has gone from 19% to 35%. Three months of effort and support since the hospital has doubled my cardiac output. Remodeling is being seen and hopefully will continue. This is enough to get me out of the life vest and permit me to drive again.

    I am relieved. So thank you to all who have supported me through this.

    Updates wut?

    Hi all,

    Been a while. How've you been? Me? Oh, well... where do I start really... this, in many ways is me putting stuff to words, both for myself and for you. I've not written much in a very long time, so forgive me if I'm writing as much for myself as for others right now. If you just want to know about the fic, skip to the break at the bottom.

    Question for the readers

    So I'm gathering together my disparate threads towards the next chapter and a friend has asked me a few really cogent questions about continuity.

    Heyas, sudden random medical bossfight! Wait- what?

    So yeah, haven't been around much, been devoting a substantial chunk of my time and energy at pursuits that will improve my financial future. Developing a path that should see my needs well taken care of over the coming decades. Making my debts and financial worries more tractable, getting things to where I feel like I have a hold of them. No time for ponies, cept every now and then when I've a

I'm getting better · 4:26pm Aug 7th, 2017

Starting to be able to think ponies again. Medications are about balanced. Now figuring out how to draw all my threads together for six.

I was saving this sweet piece of cover art for release with the next chapter, but considering that's been so delayed, it's really not fair for the artist to withhold it any longer.

By the absolutely awesome blueberrysnow!

Thank you so much for the amazing new art!

Cadance is the omnisexual personification of Lust and Love. There is barely anything she does not ship.

ah also could some one tell me what happened to Green Leaves for some reason just haveing troble reading with the idea she still get sacrificed well unless she gets brought back

oh also im getting this third party hosting thing for the pics in the story

Yeah, photobucket has become awful, I need to find a better hosting option.

Green Leaves was used as fuel for the portal. Without her willing complicity, Twilight would have likely been the single summon Cadance attempted with just Nebulae Gaze as an unwilling sacrifice. If Twi alone had been summoned she would unequivocally be dead right now due to being stuck in the portal with nopony to help her.

I understand your feelings about Green Leaves and there is no way I can answer you fairly. IF I planned to bring her back, I wouldn't tell you before it happened. IF I intended to leave her dead as described, confirming such would seem pretty sucktastic from a certain point of view.

That point of view is that all characters I intend to be liked by the reader are going to get justice. That the 'good' ponies will always have their suffering evened out, meaning my stakes can never be real. Green Leaves had a shit deal, no mistake. But she would only be brought back if doing so served a deeper narrative, not because I wanted to give her a plate of cookies and a hug, no matter how much she deserves those.

So I get where you're coming from, and I appreciate that something about her touched your heart. That is, in essence, the reason I write in the first place, and I take it as high praise. So thank you, my writing was meaningful in some fashion, I'll ride that emotional high all afternoon. ^_^

Ok i guess i can work with that i guess my worry is even when i am feeling my most sadistic (and being the horror nut that i am thats pretty high) i tend for the hero role not harming the innocent or being at the least the kind villain saving my sadistic side for the foes that have royally ticked me of

This is one of the reasons Cadance was so conflicted and distraught by what she was doing. She doesn't seem to make a really first rate evil overlord, at least from her performance here.

4626919
Thats why i would expect ether a they bring her back i heard a lot of the time those sacrifices go to the deamon summoned or something or never pass on or at the very lest attempt to honor her after

They made her a promise. And that promise is going to be a particular point in the next chapter actually.
