ITT: OP is a faggot · 6:41pm Sep 6th, 2019

Its 2019, I should actually be worried that title might get me a ban. OH WELL.


Yeah its been a while. Sorry for not keeping you guys up to date with happenings and whatnot, I'll summarize some of the more recent happenings as of late:

-Had my first interview (albeit with a recruitment agency) for a contract job. Didn't get it but its the first one I had in nearly a year now.
-Had my brithday a few years ago. I am now officially 29 and thus too old to be of any value to society. You now know the true reason I am a monarchist.
-Acquired pup.


Behold yon bitey wee bastard.

I wanted a doggy dog, something I could wrestle with, because a dog will last you 14 years or more so I wanted something that felt like an actual dog rather than the walking mopheads that are most house dogs (We moved into a smaller house in a cul de sac in the same village. I cant keep the door of my room open at night or THE BRIGHTEST FUCKING LIGHT IN THE UNIVERSE WILL BEAM RIGHT INTO MY FUCKING EYES FOR THREE HOURS STARTING AT 3AM, and I have to keep two spare t shirts on top of the rail of my curtains to keep the streetlights out at night so my room is dark enough to sleep in. I was already having extreme sleeping troubles for a year prior to this, and had to contend with that, smaller room, a near broken mattress and these windows for most of this year. My rage is immeasurable), my dad found this wee man and fell in love with him, a good compromise, small enough for a house dog, doggy enough to fight me when its older.

Still have to raise him out in our tiny backyard because he SHITS TWICE THE SIZE OF HIMSELF, THE LITTLE FUCK.

-I haven't been writing or drawing much, which should surprise no one, and I can tgive an estimate of any kind of when I will be back, but I refuse to let go of this project until it is done. Yeah yeah, Gen 4 is ending, I don't care, I havent watched an episode in nearly a year now anyway, might need to just to refresh myself characterwise and such, I'm finishing Bad Mondays one way or another. I have a related story already begun in my drafts, its been there for a while now, but there's not much point talking about that if I don't get the main story finished.
-My xbox wasnt working for months on end there. Suddenly started working while I was lying down. Neat. I always wanted to finish playing the new metro game.

As regards to my custody over Rust's userpage, I haven't fucked around with his stories, in case anyone was wondering, JBL urged me a while back that if I could, I should at least finish the main story for everyone over there, and I guess I while, but like my own stories, no point in doing that if I don't continue work on Bad Mondays. Other than that, I have no updates on Rust, last I heard he was still in the navy and I hope he is doing well.

As for the Culturepage, sorry about that mate, I will get on it, I've been letting it slide like everything else.

Also because it is relevant to my interests. behold:


Pictured: Some American Knights ganging up on some Polack looking motherfucker.

I've always wanted to do shit like this, I know there's tournaments internatioanlly and such, but I am neither in enough shape, have the money to buy/commission armour, nor the skills to make any my own (thought I do want to learn). I also know there's schools that teach proper medieval European martial arts and such that specifically train you in the old styles as well as how to utilise them wearing cumbersome armour. Did a bit of research on it a while back. I also know there's things like the Society for Creative Anachronism that are like, proper medieval larping, as in people actually organise themselves into courts and shit, like larping, only they have proper weapons and armour and take part in similar activities. I'm not as into that as I once might have been, but hey could be fu-

Motto: "The Middle Ages the way they should have been."

Just as well, apparently despite there being thousands of good folk in the organisation who are genuinely dedicated to recreating the old styles and traditions and being as faithful to them as possible, for both fun and research purposes, turns out a lot of people are... Doing untoward things in their groups inside of it, using the organization as cover. I am hearing things about how its being ran like a cult at the higher levels, like you not having any real family being an apparent requirement to ascending to the highest ranks, public adverts on facebook for orgies under false organisational names, certain people within the groups being excluded from awards and honours, specifically trying to recruit lonely, nerdy demographic... Yeah I am going to be avoiding these guys like the fucking plague. I havent even dug too deeply and there's a fucking rabbit hole here.

I'll stick to just whacking people with a fucking frying pan, thanks.


In the meantime with happier news:

I hope you all have a good Spookyfest. I will say one of the more interesting things I ran into this past two months while trying to distract myself with unhelthy amounts of Minecraft and Hollow Knight, was watching Youtube's algorithmic fuckery making Minecraft the dominant game on youtube, and directly benefitting Pewdiepie in ad revenue. The exact situation they were trying to avoid in the first place on both counts. That and watching Hollowknight suddenly skyroket in noticeability and popularity right around the time I decided to dust off this game about lovable bug knights to give it a chance and then wonder where the fuck this has been all my life.

Personally I cant wait for Silksong, like a three-four man team, not counting voice acting support, translators and whatnot, basically created one of the biggest plaformers I've ever played, its kind of astounding. And holy shit that soundtrack. Personally I can't wait to play as Hornet and learn if she is really as gud as she taunts you to be.

No I am totally not just padding out my blog with meme images, why do you ask?

Anyway, thats all for now, I hope I can come back to you with something even the remotest bit SLIGHTLY related to Bad Mondays, until then:


Get The Fuck Out

Glad to hear from you. As always, best wishes

God damn it Handy, i am not even mad. You are amazing and even your blogposts are masterpieces on their own.

Whilst I was reading this, It's About Time came up on my playlist.

It's good to see you're doing well ;P

Ah yes the metro series, the game where the final entry makes grown men cry. Play all the way dude, get the good ending, and don't skip any of the optional dialogue for exodus, one of the best stories I've ever had the pleasure of playing.

I've also need to get back Into Playing hollow knight, but I've been addicted to deadcells, Warframe, and Get to the orange door.

Is the dlc worth it for hollow knight btw?

Yes if you're a masochist.

But also yes if you're not.

Nice to hear you haven't died horribly. I hope you do get that job soon! Happy to hear your doing great. Cute pupper :3.

5117114
It's nice to hear that Handy hasn't died pleasantly either. Because while it would certainly be preferable to horrible death, it's still, you know, death :rainbowlaugh:.

Its 2019, I should actually be worried that title might get me a ban.

Forget the title, look at those tags.

I have looked upon the face of pupper, and it is good.

Well, it's good to hear you're still kicking, and I want to congratulate you on capping off an entertaining blog post with an entertaining typo:

Had my brithday a few years ago.

5117160
I caught that while editing another typo, but decided to leave it in because it was funny.

5117172
Good call. :rainbowlaugh:

good too know your still kicking cant wait too see the return of bad mondays too my feed

Hey bro, I just want to remind you that YOU HAVE A BIG ENOUGH AUDENCE TO WRITE FULL TIME :pinkiegasp:

Congrats on the dog

Get that dog some insurance as soon as you can. I just had to spend over a grand (and counting) in vet's bills because my sister put off buying insurance for her dog. She's only had it for two months.

Always nice to hear you're not dead.

Gratz on the interview! So long as you are getting them it won't be long before you find something. Recruitment agencies are all sorts of messed up when it comes to taking your money, but at least they have an incentive to get you a job so they have some money to take!

Yo familam, have anything like a Goodwill over in the shire?

God be with you

5117721
And you as well.

Would you believe all of your tags are unique to this blog post. Shocking, I know. 😝
Glad you’re alive. Also, I’m pretty sure you’re blog posts are longer than the average chapter length on this site.

5117067
Thank you, I hope all is well for you as well.

5117073
I appreciate it but lets not get too hasty here.

I still have yet to Putin the boot in on these tags yet. Its Assad.

5117104
Did a brief youtube search, which Its 'About Time' were you talking about?

5117114
5117129
Bold of you to assume death would stop me.

5117140
He is a good bitey wee bastard. He's recently learned to climb the stairs on his own despite his size, gave me a bloody heart attack when I heard him and realized he wasn't stopping the first time.

Now he preferentially tries to run the fuck up into my bedroom and its always a race against the clock to bodytackle the little bastard before he starts eating something or shits on my floor.

5117203
Me too, thank you.

5117228
I had, yes, but I doubt I can transfer the majority of that to a non-pony writing fiction career. It'd be a good start for a base though.
(Yes I saw your Private Messages and I am going to respond, sorry about the time)

5117246
Dogs are gud, yes. Danke.

5117278
Huh, we got its shots, but I don't know if we've ever bought insurance for a dog before.

5117288
Give me my Minecraft 2 already damn it.

5117194
Mm.

5117324
You'd think that, but I've never had too much success with them, but my last job was also acquired by one so thats always something.

5117444
Closest I found was the Goodwill Thrift store somewhere in Dublin which is about 2 hours drive away.

5118203
Not yet they aren't, but a few of them definitely were. Good to hear from you all again.

5120440
Goodwill, at least in the states, has a community outreach where they assist you with job searching.

You'd think that, but I've never had too much success with them, but my last job was also acquired by one so thats always something.

I recommend getting your resume in the door with as many different agencies as possible as well as posted on job sites for them to find. There's nothing restricting you to a single agency, so you'll definitely benefit from the shotgun approach. Frankly, that's more or less what I do, and at this point I don't even have to think about finding new contracts because I get so many openings handed to me by all the various agencies.

Also, you should really do something to make yourself stand out from the other candidates, so if you're doing in-person interviews appearance is probably the best place to go. How to go about that depends quite a bit on what you look like, but basically so long as it is unusual and looks good you'll be fine. That could be anything from a top hat and cane for that classic Victorian look to a proper dwarven beard, but a huge part of getting a job is simply being remembered by the interviewer so you need to figure out how to make yourself memorable.

Was actually referring to the name of the episode, but here's the relevant song:

5120440

I feel ya. I'm starting to think they're having too much fun playing it to release it

Oh well, at least I'll have Skull and Bones this yea-


dammit.

It's so good to hear from you again, don't know how I missed this post :rainbowhuh:
I'm glad to hear that you're still with us and that at least a few happy things are happening for you (congrats on the pup:twilightsmile:)
Really happy to hear that you plan to finish the story:pinkiehappy:
I haven't forgotten about you on my prayer list, you're still on it:ajsmug:
God bless you my good sir, persevere!

I've read this post before but I didn't bother to look at the tags you put at the bottom...

You glorious bastard those tags had me fucking dead for like 10 minutes...
