So, in less than a day's time, the next US president will be sworn in. Many users of this site, of this fandom, will undoubtedly be affected by what this term will bring, for them and the world at large. But it is important to be confident, optimistic, to look for good wherever you can find it. To make the most of a bad situation or, if need be, to stand up and get a handle on things when said things are out of control. There's the possibility that nothing too negative or catastrophic will

It's been a good long while since I've logged onto this site. I haven't paroozed around much, but I don't care right now. I'm going to be serious for a minute. The site, and fandom as a whole, has a huge nazi and pedophile issue that needs to be addressed and better actions need to be taken. Sure we have outed out pedophiles in the past (toonkritic, performance major, etc.) but more and more are popping up like crazy (Andy Stein recently, formally known as MandoPony). And the nazi issue,

I've been keeping my head down in the midst of all this drama, and there are plenty of people who have put it in words better than I ever could, in particular this blog by Grand Moff Pony that I strongly encourage you to read.

You know what really grinds my gears? When people on this site open "Commissions" for story writing. So you, a talented writer, are going to make people pay you for some My Little Pony fan fiction? Dude, these stories won't be sold at freaking Barns & Noble, these stories are published here on a site that will most likely forget about the story in two days time just to make room for a clopfic.

Why has there been a wave of depression posts out there? Are people just going through the Summer blues... Even though it's still technically Spring?

DISCLAIMER!!
Just so nobody gets their panties in a knot, I want to say depression is a serious issue and I have no idea what each and every one of you go through daily. So don't take this the wrong way like I assume some would.

It's been like 2 years, huh? Well I had a thought that I need to spell out, again more for myself than for anyone else, but which is nuanced and complicated enough that I need to write it down, and that other people might just want to see. And I just so happen to have a blog with my random ramblings in it. So here we go again.

Man I should really catch up on ponies.

Gran (Jokingly): Dan, cut your hair, you scruffy cunt.

Me: No.

Dad: Why don't you go to the dole office and get yourself a job.

Me: No. I'm in college, so there isn't really any point. Besides, I make more than you think I do on the side.

Cheryl (Step-mother / Cruella Deville): You're a retard and I've been here more than your mother has.

I was playing around with 15.ai and I put some dialogue from a thing I'm working on in it. It came out completely perfect. So I made a tiny video.

Art by me.

Edit: I've been censored. This kind of thing happens to me a lot actually.

Show of hands, who’s tired of seeing these back and forth blog posts of whether I’m updating or not? I know I am Unfortunately, here’s another one, and it doesn’t exactly have good news in it.

1965 summarizes modern times. 1965 mind you over fifty years ago summarized 2016 and the entirety of the 21st century.

Because hey, why not take a step back and look at what I've done this past year? As otherwise I would wind up doing this tomorrow instead of going out, and I'm not quite THAT boring. Or, well, I probably am, but at least I try to pretend otherwise.

I lied. It’s clickbait. It’s really Fanfiction Reading Update #180. There’s enough political shit and wanting to start civil wars in everyone else’s blog posts. Go read theirs or Knighty’s, which started all this, if you want to dive into what will eat the next six months of this site’s life. I, meanwhile, will talk about horse words one last time before the partisans knock down my front door.

Huh... I just realized I'm a huge dick. I'm cool with it, I'm not gonna be emo about it and hate myself because I'm a dick, but damn...

I learned about how much of a dick I am because of a simple comment. Mind you, the story I'm about to share isn't my work. It belongs to:

I wanted to throw all y'all a quick pointer to hazeyhooves' thoroughly excellent post on what the Mouse Guard roleplaying game can teach us about writing effective characters. I would consider it a must-read if you've got any interest in RPGs -- since it's a great analysis of how different RPG systems use their rules to focus the game on different aspects of
