    Depression is a hell of a drug

    Hey. I've been away. Depression and life has kicked my ass. I've been homeless twice and got my own place twice. Drawn some art. Played some games. Cutting bullshit out.

    I want to make a story based on Final Fantasy XV. Perhaps. I've not written anything in so long that this might stimulate my brain. I haven't even watched all of season 7, let alone the movie.

    What do you think?

    Potentially Back

    I'm working on Dragon's Notebook and Penny for the Old Guy (Ezrienel is my co-author) alongside a Hail Mary rewrite (a non-pony version that we can pitch to publishers).

    That is all.

    What a Glorious Life for an End to Something Special

    My co-author has been known to be an exceptional writer, whom can only churn out her powerful, heart-rending stories when life seems down. Given that her life has been going up, her productivity has halted, henceforth so has mine as I witness my drive fade away the more I feel unjust, unworthy, and overall jealous, of her good fortune, and the fact that I am not the harbinger of good fortune.

    Dragon's Notebook: Scaled Tower Outline Complete

    An accident prompts Spike to do the unthinkable and claim lives in order to protect the one he loves from danger... before his protective instincts involve his friends.

So yeah. My first blog post. Just gonna talk about some stuff.

SO ANYWAYS, I got the idea for the Apple Spectrum one day when I was eating an apple with stuff on it. What was that stuff? Caramel, with Smarties and Skittles placed in the caramel. Sounds odd but I nearly died when the flavour exploded almost literally in my mouth but then I thought "I wish Applejack would start selling these in the show... then I'll be eating a Pony food" then I thought "Will never happen so I'll do it... in FanFic form. Rainbow would love it since it's badass" but keep in mind I am not one that's badass and I was just letting my ego sail. But eventually, I decided on that "If it were to happen, Rainbow would surely want to advertise it because it means she's part of something awesome. And the Wonderbolts'll see it." THUS THE APPLE SPECTRUM WAS BORN.

I mainly wrote Mega Man fanfics, getting about five views a month for my main one. Then I wrote more, got a few extra views. I write the Apple Spectrum and I get over 200 hits. What the hell? I like ponies but, seriously, I wrote for a year in Mega Man universes, and got nothing. I wrote a pony story for a month and WHABAM, I have insane hits. I already have over 2,000 hits on FanFiction.net. I'm happy but saddened because I want to be remembered for creating epic Mega Man stories, to rekindle the interest in Mega Man but here I am with Ponies... Ah, well...

I also create art. I have a good Deviant Art account with an embarrassing name (Hunter-the-Hedgehog) and slowly, I've perfected my shading technique. I've even got good at drawing Reploids and now, moving onto Ponies. Hopefully I can get a lot more watchers as I expand my artistic grasp of series'.

So yeah. That's all. First blog post and stuff. ... bye.

Sorry, man, that's the power of ponies for yah. Shit spreads like a wildfire.

If it helps, this made me really want to play Mega Man. But then I remembered that I suck so much at Mega Man that it would embarrass the character and the series for me to ever do so. Sad but true.

I have to say this is the most hysterical and awesome inspiration for a story i've ever heard. 'You know what would make this caramel covered chocolate skittles apple even more awesome? Rainbow Dash!'

That's not an insult. It made my day. And it's so true. You are a genius, sir. :pinkiehappy:

Oh yeah. And I forgot to mention because i'm clever like that - I saw the picture you drew for The Games We Play, and just so that you know your art is incredible. I'd check out your gallery but this is the only website I can load at the moment for some reason. Still, at least it's a good website. Anyways, yeah - your art is awesome and you should feel awesome. Well done, and have a moustache. :moustache:

18991 Mega Man is still keeping it's... uhm, tingle with me but lately with CAPCOM's absolutely STUPID decisions such as cancelling a game we waited 10 years for and then throwing "Mega Man" into Street Fighter VS. Tekken... I'm beginning to wonder if it's all worth it.

Also: Now I have to include a caramel covered chocolate skittles apple pie in the story.

AND THANK YEW. I don't get that many new people viewing my art. Until I got into the Pony business which is srs business.
