"I AIN'T DEAD!" · 1:32pm May 28th, 2020
So I have been on a hiatus a little longer than I expected: about a month, I believe. I won't bore you with the details of my personal issues, worsened by the quarantine, but I'm much better and raring to write some more about our favorite human/Fluttershy couple. (What do you MEAN it's not your favorite...? Fine. BE that way.)
A great amount of appreciate to Dorant for reaching out. You have no idea how good I feel when I remember that people care. My depression makes it difficult to believe in compliments at times, if that makes any sense. As one man explained to me, for people who go have gone through trauma, self-hating axioms stick like velcro, and compliments tend to slide off like kevlar.
But I'm back and the next chapter of "What do you mean, 'Friend?'" will be underway. Of course there shall be far less clop (what?), much more teasing (you mother f- !), and two out of these three descriptions are a blatant lie. (oh! Well, that's okay then.)
For those that felt things were happening a bit too fast, get used to it for a bit longer. There will be a time for some casual enjoyment, but some things are in a but of frantic motion (see most recent chapter) and there is one other character who is having their own issues that will come to light soon. But I'm sure they'll be dealt with and she'll be fine. No strange interactions or a misconstrued happenstance.
For all my readers, thank you so much! I come back and suddenly I'm about to hit 5,000 readers. I was so insanely happy when I got 500! You are all great!
If you're one of the 12 people who read this, have a great day. Be well and take care of yourself in this time of isolation. Please don't be alone. Even if it's making phone calls. No one should be alone. I should know. It stinks, and it's never too late to reach out.
What do you mean, I'm a hypocrite? Pffffft. Nah. I mean... yeah okay, I know.
He says having 280 thumbs up lol

Oh, I meant the blog, not the story. But that still put a big smile on my face. Thank you!
Also, wow, I checked it like 5 minutes before I saw your post and it was at 278. I'm really humbled by this.
That's what they ALL say.

You're right. It should be more like:
FOOLISH MINIONS! OF COURSE YOU COMPLEMENT THE MARVELOUS MASTER OF LITERARY LEGENDS THAT I HAVE CRAFTED FROM THE IMPOSSIBLE DEPTHS OF MY PSYCHE! SURELY MY TALENTS ARE THE ENVY OF ALL BRONIES, AND THE EASILY SWAYED LEGIONS OF FANGIRLS CANNOT WET THEIR UNDERGARMENTS FAST ENOUGH TO THROW THEM AT FEET IN ADORATION! THE VERY WORD "HUMBLE" SHRIVELS BEFORE ME! THE VERY OPPOSITE OF MY IMPRESSIVE MANHOOD! I SHALL
*cough hack groan*
Ugh, that kind of hurt. I only partly wish part of that was true. Sigh...

👏
Glad to hear you're writing again, but I don't think I deserve that much credit, probably the kevlar talking though.
