    My Very Last Blog Post - Goodbye

    As of now, I think the time has come to finally abandon my Fimfiction page. I don't particularly want any involvement in the MLP community any longer and I hold no interest in continuing to be an active member. While my page remains open to everyone, I've logged out permanently and don't think I'll return to it or use it again. No more blogs, no more stories, no related content - it's over.

    I'm never going to be the person that... (Facts of life)

    I'm never going to be the person who goes out drinking with friends in the pub at the end of the week,
    I'm never going to be the person to enter a stable relationship,
    I'm never going to be the person to cry for those who won't cry for me,
    I'm never going to be the person who gives up over a little tough break,

    Either stay or leave. Don't play me about.

    If you're staying, stay.

    If you're playing around with me, kindly fuck off. I'm not in the mood.

    Either follow or don't follow. It really is that simple. Make up your mind already.

    Thank you. :ajsleepy:

    Need a distraction from your low mood? Here's an old photo of my guinea pig :3

    Because I'm sad and because my guinea pig is an adorable fwubby enchanted squeaking potato, here's Oscar laying down and snuggling into his brother, Guinness's guinea bum. Don't ask why he did that, just look at how cute he's being. Requires all the ear rubs. Should have called him Sir Purrsalot. 🐹

    ''Applejack, are you gay?'' French Translation - if you're interested.

    Back when I introduced this story a few years ago, I was approached by a French Translator called Rainbowsoarin007 and they requested me to allow them to turn my story into a French translation for viewers in that part of the world and those who speak it.

I'm about to confuse the majority of you with our Britisms. (How we talk in Brit-Bong) · 11:57am Oct 10th, 2020

This is how we talk in Yorkshire. You likely 'aven't 'erd much or any of these if you're not from 'round 'ere, but that's how we have a right laugh, innit? What'cha make of it, Gov?

This is very useful. I can now see where some Nottinghamisms come from. Living in the Midlands, I'm sandwiched between north and south, and as a result our dialect uses a mixture of both systems.

For example; the place name 'Hucknall'. The vowels are pronounced in the same way as a Yorkshireman would pronounce them; 'oo', rather than 'uh', and 'ah', rather than 'aah'.

However, the 'H' isn't swallowed; rather than 'ooknahl', we say 'hooknahl', or thereabouts.

We all have a variation of each other's words of nonsense. There will be similar phrases, but probably a whole lot weirder than the last.

''Yorkshireman'' is sometimes ''Yorksha-mun'' or ''Yor'shaman''. Ever been to Hull? Some of us simply call it ''Ull'', cutting off the 'H'. That's kinda our entire accent, really: cutting of the 'H' and being really loose with our pronunciation.

To tell the truth, I may be from the East Riding, but I don't speak like I am. In fact, although I can, I choose not to because I hate the way it sounds. My voice is more like how you hear the Apple Family in MLP speak, very loose pronunciation but it's obvious there's emphasis on certain parts of words and sentences, like on the end. Instead of ''Driving'', it's ''Draaah-vin'' or ''Bik'n'' (Biking) :ajsmug:

So, the ''aah'', ''ooh'' and ''uuh'' parts are more of what you hear. If you hear me talk properly and normally, you'd probably think I'm a posh twat from Oxfordshire. Nobody has heard me talk normally yet. :derpytongue2:

Random Britishism: Are ya up th' duff, love? Or 'ave ya been tellin' porkies? :trixieshiftleft:

I have a mate in Doncaster who greets people with 'duck'. He once announced over a skype call he was off to 'buy groceries for ahh duck'. Cue laughter from other people.

East Riding, eh? Both my parents are from the West (Pontefract and Brighouse respectively).

''Duck?'' Is he Bugs Bunny? ''Nyeeh, what's up, Dock?'' (I can do a good impression of that, oddly enough :rainbowderp:) Or is he friends with that duck from the Lemonade Stand song? PS: Got any grapes?

Yarp, East Riding. Been here all my life. Although, my grandparents have been around. Gran's family has roots from York down to Preston and so does my grandad's family, I think. Funny, we all end up down this way to my home town. I even found a very distant relative through ancestry UK! How cool's that? :pinkiehappy:

Can't say I recall being around Pontefract or Brighouse area. Not been anywhere for a while. Probably have at some point, but hard to say!

It truly is a small world; my godfather's from just outside Preston.
