50 Questions, 2nd anniversary edition! · 5:43am Oct 19th, 2022
As explained in my previous blog last year, I’m making a 50-questions blog on the same day every year to help me reflect on how I’ve changed over the years and as a way for you all to get to know me! 
Previous 50-questions: 2021, 2020.
1. What is your first name?
Not comfortable sharing that
2. How old are you? 22
3. What country are you from?
United States
4. What do you really look like?
Asian male, decently in shape. Masculine facial structure but otherwise fairly soft/slim.
5. What do you wish you looked like?
6. How did you come across My Little Pony?
YouTube videos. See my previous 50 Questions.
7. What is your favorite ship in My Little Pony and why?
Favorite G4 ship: I guess I would like to learn more about Bright Mac & Pear Butter’s relationship.
Favorite G5 ship: Misty x Ponycorn, pfft, obviously~!
8. What is your least favorite ship and why?
None really. Once again, in both G4 and G5, very few ships are heavily implied against, so fans have the freedom to ship almost anyone they choose.
Fighting over which cartoon ponies from a little kids’ show belong together is a war not worth waging in my opinion. 
9. Have you admitted to anyone outside of Fimfiction that you love MLP?
Select family and friends. See my previous 50 Questions.
10. Were they a family member? Yep.
11. Favorite MLP Episode?
Recently, the G5 episode “Ali-Conned” left a lasting impression on me.
12. Who is your favorite superhero?
My mother.
13. Who is your favorite anti-hero?
Queen Chrysalis.
14. Favorite supervillain?
Cozy Glow. Especially since I finally finished this problem child of a story.
15. Favorite anti-villain?
A tie between Wallflower Blush and Misty.
16. What was the last book you read?
If Fimfiction counts, it’s “Worthless” by Admiral Producer.
17. Last movie you watched?
G5 Make Your Mark. I don’t watch many movies. Anime, on the other hand…
18. What is your favorite song at the moment?
I like Portrait Day; it’s one of the very few acoustic/easy listening type of songs in the MLP franchise.
19. What song do you always come back to?
Bridge Over Troubled Water.
20. What is your current job?
Waterproofing/building enclosure engineer. I get to work with buildings every day!
21. If this is not your final job what job do you want in the future?
Final job? I hope so! Hopefully my bosses will want me to stay…! 
22. What is your dream job?
I like my current job, but might be cool to do part time streaming/cosplaying or some sort of entertainment work. I guess that’s more of a hobby though.
23. At this moment in your life, what is your greatest achievement?
Getting a job, moving cross-country by plane, literally finding an apartment in 2 days, and moving in by New Years’!
24. At this moment in your life, what is your greatest failure?
Once again, letting my fear hurt the ones I care about, but also hurt myself. I let my fear, procrastination, and lack of confidence severely slow and hamper my success.
25. Do you have any pets? Ten plush toys 
26. What is your dream pet?
I got my dream pet last August at Everfree Northwest!
27. Do you own any weapons?
I visit the construction site a lot for my job; I carry a multi-tool, cotter pin puller, and a *very* bright pocket flashlight, all of which I suppose can be weaponized if I’m in danger.
28. Is there a gun you really want?
No. See my previous 50 Questions.
29. What Religion are you?
New Age. I follow the Law of Attraction.
30. If you could hang out with one person in all of history who would it be?
I can think of a dozen fictional characters I'd like to meet, but not real people from history. I'm not sure why--perhaps because the desire is confined to fantasy? I feel like I'd probably get so flustered and tongue-tied meeting someone famous IRL. My autograph visit with Andrea Libman at the last con was a lot more nerve-wracking than I expected. 
31. If you could bring back one person from the dead for one day who would it be?
I wouldn't want to do this. To quote the song "One More Day":
One more day, one more time
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you
32. Are you political?
I’m quite passionate about urban planning and especially how automobile dependence has impacted American cities: environmentally, socially, and economically. Since moving to the Bay Area this year, I don't own a car (nor a bike), and commute by bus daily.
33. Are you married? No.
34. Do you have a special somepony? No.
35. Have a crush on anyone? No.
36. Care to explain? No.
37. Do you consider yourself attractive?
Oh…where do I begin!? 
I’ve been having a lot of issues with my body image especially this past year. I’ve felt better ever since I learned how to put on makeup and become more open with my mom about how I like to dress. I don’t want to proclaim anything right now, I need some time to gather my thoughts and figure out what all these conflicted feelings mean.
38. If you could spend one day with someone still alive who would it be?
Maybe my mom, since she lives all the way on the East Coast so I rarely get to see her.
39. Who is your favorite pony?
G4: Starlight Glimmer.
G5: Sunny Starscout; Zipp is a close second!
Above image is my desktop wallpaper 
40. Any embarrassing secrets you would like to share?
This.
41. If you have done any stories/art what is your favorite piece(s)?
Probably “And their spatter became the Alluring Light”. It was a story I wrote at a very dark time in my life when I could barely churn out 1000 words in three months. I admire stories that are concise and raw in emotion, and I feel like I achieved that with this story.
42. Are you a virgin? Yes. 
43. What is the craziest thing you have done in your life that you have no regrets about?
(See #23) Moving cross-country to the Bay Area 3 days after getting a job offer, moving all my stuff in suitcases, finding a place in 2 days (on Christmas Day, moreover!), and moving in by New Years!
44. What is the craziest thing you have done in your life that you have regrets about? If any opportunity comes up for something “crazy” to do, my first instinct is to always avoid. And that prevents me from taking risks.
45. Do you have a fetish of any kind?
46. Do you regret saying this fetish?
47. What are some of your favorite FIM stories?
Favorite G5 story is probably Parable of the Toymaker by Jarvy Jared; it starts off with the aura of a fairytale, but ends with a realistic hard-hitting twist at the end that left an impression on me.
As for G4 stories, I think it’s still "The Disney Princess" by SockPuppet. This story reminds me of what I love about slice-of-life anime.
48. Favorite Quote?
Can I pick two? This first one really speaks to my creative process:
“You can’t just turn on creativity like a faucet. You have to be in the right mood. / What mood is that? / Last-minute panic.” –Bill Watterson
And then this quote from Eddie Izzard:
“I wear dresses, they’re not women’s dresses, they’re my dresses, I buy them.”
49. Did you ever hurt someone’s feelings just to hurt them?
Just to hurt them? No. But did I cause hurt? Yes.
50. Did you answer these questions honestly? Yes.
Got any more questions? Ask away in the comments! See you at next year's 50 Questions! 
I wouldn't call it a fetish, but I otherwise see no issue here.
You'd probably like this guy's channel, then. About half his videos are highly informed rants about how terrible America's car-centered infrastructure is:
o hey, I'm on this list somehow 0:
In that case you will probably get along well with this guy
Anyway, you sound like a very interesting person! I hope that you can overcome all of your issues so that we could see more of your brilliance in the future! (but first I am going to have to find time to read your past stories)

I have attempted to contact shortskirts on this subject, not much success
Thank you for your response and kind words, it means a lot to me!

I've watched some of Adam Something; I'm a fan of Not Just Bikes myself.
5693342
I enjoyed your story!
5693309
Which one is your fave?
5693449
Really only familiar with one, though I recognize two others (someone in a Discord server I’m in really loves Felix, and I recognize Hime). Even then, I still feel like it’d be Astolfo because he’s such a bubbly bolt of energy in Fate/Apocrypha.
