Just a guy who found out that a show about talking ponies is a lot better than I expected.

    Boltstrike Movie Reviews: Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire


    Luckily, I'm not as late on the draw this time. I will be saying things that are spoilers for this movie, but I'll try my best to mark them.

    Status Update

    Hey, guys. First, I wanted to thank you for reading Parental Fear (If you haven't already, please do). Second, I wanted to let you all know that it finally happened. I got away for nearly four years, but I finally got a positive Covid test. The good news is I'm completely vaccinated, so I should be fine. If anything, this gives me more time to write, because they won't let me go into work for at

    Generational Divide

    Hey, so a lot of you are probably wondering where the next chapter of Generational Divide is. Well, I can tell you I'm working on it. I've been sick last week, and I've been kinda depressed, so that made working on it hard. But I'm back at work, and I'm about 3000 words into what should be a chapter of around 5000 words. So it'll be here soon.

Update on my status · 7:42am Nov 3rd, 2017

Hey, guys.
For those of you who follow "From the Ashes," my big project on this site, I bet you're probably annoyed that there hasn't been an update in a while. I understand, and I apologize for not getting it done. I have the story planned, I just have to finish typing it. That being said, I should probably explain what's going on. A part of it is college, since this is my third semester of Vet Tech school, and it's pretty intense, but that's not everything.
The thing is, my depression seems to have latched onto my love for MLP, and this site, in particular.
As much as none of us want to admit it, Friendship is Magic won't run forever. I don't know how well season 7 did (though if they're making an entire EQG series on Youtube, I assume it's doing okay), but the show's lasted longer than I would've expected. What kills me about the end of it is the end of the fandom. Once the fandom's gone, this site probably won't stick around. This fandom is one of the most creative, most talented, most inventive ones I've ever seen, and I love being part of it. The thought of this website, with all the fantastic stories people have created over the last few years, disappearing forever...it's heartbreaking. Add this onto the existential crisis I was already trying to deal with and my suicidal thoughts kicking in. It's not a good place to be. It feels pathetic, getting suicidal over a cartoon show, but I can't help myself.
I'm not suicidal now. I'm in therapy, and it's helping at least a little. I'm trying to get to a better place with my meds, and hopefully my psychiatrist and I can come up with something.
I'm not looking for sympathy or anything, and I promise I'm okay. Just please be patient while I try to stay stable.
