    Tradition

    This one's particular poignant. Singing this on January 1 is a twelve year tradition at this point.

    So fun facts
    1) Did you know you don't have to be epileptic to have seizures?
    2) and if you have a seizure lasting longer than five minutes you just straight out have a 20% chance of dying in the next thirty days, apparently

    Two Martyrs Fall for Each Other

    Here’s where I talk about this new story, 40,000 words long and written in just over a week. This is in no way to say it’s rushed, quite the opposite; It wouldn’t have been possible if I wasn’t so excited to put it out. I would consider A Complete Lack of Jealousy from All Involved a prologue more than a prequel, and suggested but not necessary reading.

    Commissions Open: An Autobiography

    Commission rates $20USD per 1,000 words. Story ideas expected between 4K-20K preferable. Just as a heads up, I’m trying to put as much of my focus as I can into original work for publication, so I might close slots quickly or be selective with the ideas I take. Does not have to be pony, but obviously I’m going to be better or more interested in either original fiction or franchises I’m familiar

    My brain diagnosis ended up way funnier than "We'll name it after you". It turned out to be "We know this is theoretically possible because there was a recorded case of it happening once in 2003". It turns out that if you have bipolar disorder and ADHD and PTSD and a traumatic brain injury, you get sick in a way that should only be possible for people who have no

    EFNW

    I planned on making it this year but then ran into an unfortunate case of the kill-me-deads. In the moment I needed to make a call whether to cancel or not, and I knew I was dying from something but didn't know if it was going to be an easy treatment or not.

A Visual Timeline of MrNumbers Mental Health · 8:25pm Feb 1st, 2018

October 16: House destroyed by termites, have not yet made the decision to drop out of university

December 10: Mental health ward declares brother 'fine'. He'll try to blow up a TV station two weeks from now. Completely rebuilding house. Have at least dropped out of university. Have not yet made WholesomeRage.

January 13: Making money on commissions. WholesomeRage has most of its current articles online at this point.
I was insanely productive.

January 27: I'm gotten into a new relationship and am kind of coming to the fact that, now that I'm healthy and shit, and feel positive emotions rather than just negative ones, I'm kind of bisexual now I guess???
I've written a screenplay in the two weeks since. I'm still writing articles. The final, human-rewrite of Mare Who Once Lived on the Moon is being completed with the help of Monochromatic. I'm no longer agoraphobic so I just kind of... keep going out and seeing friends and doing things as well just because I can for the first time as an adult. I even go to the furniture store to pick out new furniture, which I can afford to pay for with money I've made from commissions, holy shit.

Obviously I look fucking exhausted. Gonna take a break for a few days.

Today, February 2nd:

Do your eyes keep changing size? They look smaller in each picture.

Numbers transforms from anime character to normal human bean

My eyes are a really good immediate day-to-day 'tell' as to how messed up I am.

For reference, here they were mid-semester last year:

Pretty good day, but still had huge pupils, gaunt cheekbones... not great.

Also, look how contorted that smile is. Smiling was hard for some reason, even on... well, an otherwise good day.

Glad to hear you are well. Wish you the best.

So wait, this is just since October 2017?

Anyone who says mental health isn’t connected to physical health can go take a MASSIVE DUMP
lookin good my dude

You look damn good at the end. Seems like you have had quite a journey, hope it keeps getting better.

Wooo, good job man, can't wait for the non-pony version of tMWLotM!

4787233
Yeah that recent

4787222
You're like an IRL anime character.

Well, this is just great. Now, I have a small crush.

I'm not 100% sure if it's on you, or on your suit.

4787244
What do you mean by Human rewrite of Mare Who Once Lived on the Moon?

Last time I checked, there wasn't a human tag on that story

4787301

'Moonfic' was always, always meant to be rewritten as original fiction and I'd try to publish it as such.

So that's happening.

4787301
I assume that MrNumbers is rewriting it to deponify the fic, making it eligible for publishing.
EDIT: Damn, ninja'd by the man himself!

4787303
Oh, so when you publish it, it's not going to have any connection to MLP?

4787305 oh ok


Lol he's good like that

4787306
Correct!

4787305
Thanks for playing, though.i.imgur.com/YiYpui8.gif

You should publish your pony version too! Just like what Pen Stroke did with Past Sins and Abyss with I'll Always Be Here For You

4787316

I got strong legal and ethical qualms with doing that. It's also a big reason why my Patreon is tied to my blog, not my ponyfic.

4787215
Small eyes: the key to healthy living.

4787320
I'm confused what you mean about legal qualms. A bunch of authors publish their pony fics without any legal repercussions

BLESS :twilightsmile:

Also. That thing with the "I'm bisexual now I guess????" I just want to give some advice and don't stress over labels like I did most of two years ago. Now I just call myself "not straight" aka queer. It feels sooo much better to not stress about the small things in life.

But if you aren't questioning it (or stressing over it like my stupid ass) good for you bro. I'm proud you've got your life on track. :heart:

4787329

Sure! Because it's a pain in the ass to enforce. But under Fair Use, we're using copyrighted material without permission. As soon as you monetize it, you're kind of sort of towards the darker shades of legal grey, which isn't something I want to follow me into a professional life.

4787334
Not even remotely stressed or caring about the labels, a lot more stressed about the realization I like guys when previously I didn't have an interest.

I'll admit, I was surprised to see a face in my notifications, but I'm glad you are doing better. It's amazing how much change a few months can bring.

4787351 I think your relationship with Aragon would disagree on that point.:twilightsmile:

4787490
ARAGONS A GUY??!!!!!

4787524 I personally think he's more likely a Ken doll given life.

As a fellow traveler who has gone through the depths and emerged from the other side, CONGRATS!

It's not a thing that is easy to put into words, but anyone who has had a similar experience knows just how good it is to just be happy and feel okay with yourself. :twilightsmile:

Awwwwwwwww you scrub up real nice.
Shame you had to walk through hell to emerge all suave-like but glad you're better now. Grats on all the personal progress and realisations. :pinkiehappy:

Make sure you tell us all about your non-pony work, your writing is some of the best I've ever read! Seriously, not just saying that.

Also, so many congratulations on getting your life together and improving mental health :) I'm also on an upward track, and I also keep being shocked at how much better I'm doing when compared to how I was, even when there's still progress to make. It's a wonderful feeling. I'm really glad for you.

It is weird what a good haircut can do, eh?

Looking sharp!

I thought he was a Spanish Province that had grown sapient and started writing absurd blog posts.

Hey, looking good! :D
