    Fic Illustrations, Open for Scene Suggestion

    Hey, long time no post! Okay, maybe not that long, but it has been a few months since I've posted anything. I don't really have an excuse for that, I just sorta... Stopped writing? The next Shadow of a Doubt chapter's been nearly done for months, though the chapter after that has been a bit difficult to plan out.

    Oof.

    Anyway! Onto the topic of the blog title!

    You can now read Made With Love in Russian!

    Thanks to KolyanGOLD, for the first time ever, one of my stories has been translated for the first time! I'm not actually sure how many people who follow me will read it in Russian, but seeing as it's the first time one of my stories has been translated, it's a neat little accomplishment.

    Story updates, + some other non-story stuff

    First of all, if you haven't seen yet, look what updated for the first time in a year! New cover art and everything, I'd never been too big of a fan of the old art, it was never my best... Though I forgot to leave room for the title, oops. I'll figure that out eventually. It's also blurry, for some reason. The art is not like that when clicked on or sourced, however.

    Would anyone be interested if I offered writing commissions

    It's never been a thing I'd considered too much, I've always considered writing harder than art, but the last blog wasn't actually the end of my money troubles... I'm not desperate for money, I have food and a place to live, but I am jobless and would like to have some money saved for emergencies. There's been a lot of those lately. All pets are fine though! Just... Anxious now, after

    I don't really have a title for this

    So if anyone remembers, back in February my cats all caught colds, and I was particularly worried about one of them, Reeses. Thankfully, they all recovered, but I still really needed to take Reeses to the vet because I was worried about her.

50 questions · 2:56am Oct 20th, 2020

I stole this from Ice Star so now you can all know how boring I am in real life. Also I needed a break from my constant drawings of horse guts.


1. What is your first name?
Would prefer not to say, I'm not fond of it anyway. Just call me some variation of MayhemMoth or Enigmadoodles and we're good.

2. How old are you?
Please don't remind me that I turn 24 next month.

3. What country are you from?
Most regrettably, the USA. Specifically its mitten.

4. What do you look like?
Generic white girl who can't sleep. Sometimes people know I'm an adult, occasionally they think I'm a teenager, I don't know what that means.

5. What do you wish you looked like?
In an ideal scenario, I would have no physical form.

6. How did you come across MLP:FIM?
One time I saw Return of Harmony on TV and it was really weird. Didn't actually fully get into the show until a bit before S3 because my sister (The one who does some of my cover art) was into it, and I kinda joined in because I had nothing better to do and they showed a teaser from The Crystal Empire at a comic con or something and I thought 'alright this looks neat' and thus I fell into pony because of The Crystal Empire... But I did not care one bit for Sombra at the time.

*Insert Gak joke here*

7. What is your favorite ship?
Most of you are probably here because of Shadow of a Doubt so I think it's pretty obvious Sombra/Starlight is best ship.

8. What is your least favorite ship?
Okay so other than obvious nasties that aren't ships at all and just disgusting... I don't like Fluttercord. At all. It's messy and has such an awful power imbalance that I just can't ignore. I also just really don't like Discord in a lot of cases so that sours that opinion even more.

9.Have you told anyone outside the fandom that you like MLP?
Not directly, but I think the sudden and multiple pony purchases have given my family the idea that 'hmm, I think she likes ponies?' No one other than my sisters know I write fanfic though.

10. Were they a family member?
The only people I talk to in real life are family members. I have no friends and I am so lonely.

11. Favorite MLP episode?
Would have to do a rewatch of the series to choose. Other than rewatching the premiers and finales for the villains except season 9 I don't really have any episodes I rewatch much, unless I need a grasp on the character for writing purposes.

I mean, I did like the Beginning of the End the first time I watched it... Y'know, before all that happened. I can assure you that if they'd actually kept Sombra it would have been one of my favorite episodes. But y'know, none of the writers like him I'm still bitter as hell over S9.

12. Who is your favorite superhero?
Not really my thing so I've got no answer.

13. Favorite Anti-hero?
Y'know anti-heroes feel like something I'd be all in for but I can't think of a single one other than Shadow the Hedgehog. So, uh, I guess he's my answer.

14. Favorite supervillain?
I just really like villains okay. Not sure how many of them can be considered supervillains though...

15. Favorite anti-villain?
Wouldn't that just be an anti-hero on the other side? Would that be the same thing?

16. What was the last book you read?
I've been trying and failing to read Fire Bringer for way too long now, my brain just will not let me focus on anything that's not one of my own projects. Unless I'm focusing on procrastinating.

Maybe I can get some reading done next month when my family goes off to the cabin, it'll be cold and potentially snowy anyway and I won't have much else. I hope I do, I really miss reading.

17. What is the last movie you watched?
My brother convinced me to watch Edward Scissorhands with him, I'd never watched it before. I didn't realize there was any romance in the movie until the very end.

18. Favorite song at the moment?
Really caught me at a time where I don't have one. Recently been listening to spooky Halloween music and mood music for my fanfics. Nothing specific really.

19. What song do you always come back to?
It makes me feel good and inspires many of my stories.

20. What is your current job?
I haven't had a job since 2017 and it's suffering. Do commissions count? I guess that makes me an artist.

21. What job do you want in the future?
I'd love to do comics but my unfocused & procrastinating brain won't let me focus on one thing. I think I may have ADHD.

22. Dream job?
Not really a job per se, but I just want to create stories. Stories that mean something. Stories that people connect to and always return to. I just want to do something meaningful with art, I guess?

Right now the only one connecting is me I think. I don't know if anyone's noticed, but there's some constant themes in my stories.

23. At this moment what is your greatest achievement?
Fooling you all into thinking I know how to write good stories.

24. At this moment what is your greatest failure?
...Not trying hard enough

25. Do you have any pets?
Four cats (Iggy, Reese's, Whiskey, Buddy) and a hamster(Gizmo). None of them were planned pets. Iggy & Reese's were found as kittens, Whiskey & Buddy are Reese's children, and Gizmo was found abandoned at the side of the road. I've also had dogs, guinea pigs, & a ferret, the latter of which was also found abandoned.

People really suck sometimes.

26. What is your dream pet?
I want a tarantula so bad.

27. Do you own any weapons?
I bought a sword for $5 at a garage sale once. Replica of Sting from LotR/The Hobbit. Very much a real sword despite that. I also carry around a little knife on occasion.

28. Is there a gun you really want?
Guns are loud and I have no desire to own one. I think my family has enough shotguns anyway.

29. What religion are you?
I'm not, I don't think.

30. If you could hang out with one person in history, who would it be?
I don't really have an answer for this.

31. If you could bring one person back from the dead, who would it be?
Can I just bring back my dog? I miss him and I'm still not over my mom taking him to the vet and coming back without him.

'Too painful' she said. I think the fact I wasn't there hurts me more, actually.

32. Are you political?
Not online, no. But I'll say something if I feel it's needed.

33. Are you married?
No, and I'm not interested in getting married.

34. Do you have a boyfriend?
No, and I don't know if I ever want one.

35. Have a crush on anyone?
Nope.

36. Care to explain?
Relationships scary.

37. Do you consider yourself attractive?
Not in the slightest.

38. If you could spend a day with someone alive who would it be?
I don't know, I just know after dealing with no one but my family for months I just want to socialize again.

39. Who is your favorite pony?
I love Sombra more than I could ever admit. Starlight and Radiant Hope are also up there.

40. Any embarrassing secrets you'd like to share?
Come back to me on this one I've been staring at it for like 20 minutes and I'm drawing a blank or just not willing to talk.

41. If you have done any stories/art, what is your favorite piece?
Currently standing as my longest written story thus far I think I can say I'm quite proud of it

TShadow of a Doubt
Starlight quickly learns it’s going to take a lot to save a pony with no hope.

42. Are you a virgin?
Yeah.

43. What is the craziest thing you have done in your life?
One time I was bullied by a ghost in high school.

Oh and I have no regard for my safety sometimes so I've snuck into dilapidated buildings and occasionally walk past wild animals like deer and turkey with no regards for my safety. Hard core.

44. Favorite TV show besides MLP?
I really don't watch TV, and have an extensive 'Watch This You Idiot' list. Pokemon, I guess.

45. Do you have a fetish of any kind?
No

46. Do you regret saying this fetish?
Read #45

47. What are some of your favorite MLP stories?
Uhhh heck I don't know. Look through my likes, there's not much there.

48. Favorite quote?
"Don't let them bother you. They said I was weird too. If you want, you can be weird with me and we'll be weird together. Would that be okay?" -Radiant Hope, Siege/Fiendship

It made me cry, okay?

49. Did you ever hurt someone's feelings just to hurt them?
I hurt my brother's feelings every time I tell him he can't have the food I haven't eaten yet so yes. But no other than that I'm not intentionally mean.

50. Did you answer all these questions honestly?
I started this at 8:30 and it is now nearly 11. After two and a half hours on this thing I might as well be, honest about it, so yes.

I'm tired now.

Damn 6 is just so based.

Love that Sombra dragged me into pony even before he was a character I cared about. Must have been some sort of prophecy.

5381617
Wait I meant 8 how do numbers work

5381618
It's okay numbers are hard. That does make more sense with your comment though.

But yeah I'm sorry I can't stand Discord in any sort of relationship with a mortal character. I mean really, look at him and his actions, that's not gonna be healthy. I especially hate how the writers go out of their way to tease it too. I could ramble on about this too, but I'm not gonna do that. I'll just dislike Fluttercord from afar.

I bet this is rich coming from the Sombra/Starlight shipper, but hey, at least the two are very likely equals in power.

5381621
Damn that tea is hot :>

You are one attention-seeking wampire aren't you?

I just want to do something meaningful with art, I guess?

Isn't paying bills meaningful enough?

5381659
I'm under the impression you're making fun of me. If so, sorry I want to make people happy? Didn't know that was so frowned upon.

Isn't paying bills meaningful enough?

Suffice to say, even with all the commissions I've done I don't make nearly enough to pay bills! And no, it's not meaningful enough.

5381668

I'm under the impression you're making fun of me. If so, sorry I want to make people happy? Didn't know that was so frowned upon.

That was a joke. Probably not a good one. I apolozige if I came as mocking your efforts.

5381669
It really did read that way, though I can certainly say it was an insult I'd never heard before, thus making me a bit more unsure. Kinda just assumed since I mentioned a lot of sadder sounding stuff that it made me look sorry and pathetic.

But I mean, aren't all of us fic writers & artists just a little bit attention seeking? We're not writing & posting novel length stories just for ourselves now, are we?

5381671

It really did read that way, though I can certainly say it was an insult I'd never heard before, thus making me a bit more unsure.

Again, I apologize if it came as mocking or disrispectful.

Kinda just assumed since I mentioned a lot of sadder sounding stuff that it made me look sorry and pathetic.

Like I have right to judge that.

We're not writing & posting novel length stories just for ourselves now, are we?

Oh, sure. And I think it is really fluttering when story you like to write is succesful.

Number 9 and 10 be me lol, minus buying physical pony merch.

5382463
We can be lonely together

I think I may have ADHD.

Hmm. Do you take anywhere from five minutes to two hours two days to actually get started at something more productive than wasting time on social media? Because I sure as heck do, and now you've left me wondering if I have that too.

5390885
Funny that you should ask that, because I've been sitting and procrastinating on starting a commission and/or working on the final bits of the next SoaD chapter since yesterday.

So, yes. The answer is very much yes.

5390901
Well, at least we can procrastinate together!
