I've recently come to a realization.
In a lot of stories on here, authors tend to use salt as a substitute for alcohol in the world of ponies.
Appaloosa and similar Western themed towns often have bars called "The Salt Lick" or something similar.
So, here's my question: If ponies treat salt like booze, then would a pony visiting the ocean by like a human visiting a giant (free) brewery?

Wow, it's almost Friday and I forgot to put up my question of the week. SHOOT! And I even remembered the question that I intended to ask last week (and forgot).

If you lived in Equestria and you were to name an alcoholic drink in a bar, what would you call it? Bonus points if you can list the ingredients in the beverage you named.

What are these bonus points for... I don't know.

But that's the question for the week. Enjoy.

For better or for worse, this may turn out interesting...

Hello, Chaps And Chapettes.

How are you all doing? I hope you're staying safe. We might be on a turning point, but everything balances on a knife-edge, so only take risks if no other choice is apparent. That being said, it has been a hellish year and you all deserve something good to come out of the 2nd half of this year.

That is all.

So earlier this month I finally decided to jump in the brewing game and make my own alcohol.
I went with a cider, of course, since Hops in beer legit makes me sick.
Just last weekend I pulled my brew out of the fermentor, and bottled it. From what I sampled, it's missing something. That extra "zing" if you know what I mean. And it was kinda weak.

IN WHICH HAPPY BOXING DAY!
I meant to post while it was still Christmas (CST) but as usual I’m late. I hope my few remaining readers had a lovely holiday! Here’s a song that’s been in my head lately.

Chuu is one of those who, according to her coworkers, really is just a ball of sunshine. Follow me past the jump.

This Thursday. It will happen. For sure. For positive. Hopefully.

Well... I was close to finishing chapter seven... then realized it was terrible. Now I'm down from 12k words (which was about 70% completion for the chapter) to 3k. The massive scrap wasn't because I'm a perfectionist or anything (Payday 2 killed that part of me long ago), but because I genuinely didn't think the direction I took the chapter was good.

I think my struggle to write is due to both a lack of alcohol, and a dispassionate association with life at the moment.

IN WHICH I GIVE A VERY QUICK UPDATE
No video today. I don't have a lot of time. So TL;DR -- My dad's health is collapsing rapidly so I'm stuck at his place in the country (I'm in town at a coffee shop now). However, I am working on the final Burritoverse story in my downtime and hope to have it ready for y'all by Saturday. Peace out.

'Cause vodka makes everything right again after a day of anxiety and panic attacks, right?

Check out the song; trust me, it is awesome, even if you aren't a metalhead \m/

If the link doesn't work, looking up "vodka" should summon the right video first. If not, keep in mind the title of this arbitrary blog :)

Thank any one of our alicorn goddess that I start seeing a therapist, in addition to my regular psychiatrist, sometime next week.

Challenge Accepted

This is a rather indirect way to share a funny image that made me think of Dash of Humanity 3 and the pending update (because I totaly am not lost and clueless where to go next) and I thought I'd share.

Wait, FimFic doesn't supprt gifs? ... okay, click this link.

Welp. I guess now I know who the moonshiner is in Ponyville, huh? And it's not the Apple monopoly I expected.

This weekend I'll be featured on the Barcast. For those who have never heard of them before, it's a group running podcast where they interview pony related people. From fanfiction writers, 4Chan Cup team managers for the /MLP/ team, to Voice Actors from the show.
They have a few places you can check them out on, the live stream being on Twitch before it's uploaded to YouTube and a few other platforms.

I had a fair amount of extra time over the summer, and decided to take on a fun side project. I've loved mixing drinks for years[1], and some of my favorites—from the basic whisky sour through the extraordinarily rich-yet-refreshing Ramos gin fizz or the playfully thematic MacKinnon sour—use egg white as an ingredient, and with one exception, I never really had much to do with the yolks. So I

With the help of Barcast Interviewers AnonPencil(The Drunk), FlutterPriest(The Cuddler), Milk(The Sex Appeal), FlammenWerfer(The Ally), Enigma(The Abused), Ravij(The Van gogh Wanna-be), have been able to keep a tight lid on shitposting in FiMFic City. But when a vile young criminal calling himself Eighth (The Villain) suddenly throws the site into chaos, the caped drunkards begin to tread a fine line between heroism and Australianism.
