So real life has been kicking right in the diamond dogs lately, and hard. Facing personal demons and doing my best to come to closer on a lot of deep wounds that have been still left open. For a long time there i couldn't write, or edit, or do much of anything at all thanks to how powerful these wounds were. Truth is though that was my mistake. Writing for me is often times my sword against the demons in my head. If I don't pick up the sword and fight, I'll never win. So a lot of my personal

Dylan is supposed to represent the innocence we have as children, and I wanted to put that innocence through trials, such as what you read in the fic.

To have him maintain that sense of innocence is crucial to the story. Everything I put in the fic has a meaning, an emotion. Each character represents a certain emotion, virtue or sin.

David: Anger
Oak: Regret
Amber: Hope
Dylan's Mother: Kindness
Quick Stacks: Pride
One Shot: Lust

Sweet Jesus a lot of you commented on Chapter 7!

I'm about to do a mass-reply like I normally do; but in the mean time, I thought you guys would like to know the songs I have in a playlist that help me write the story! I can't share all of them with you right now, since they're kinda spoiler-y, but here are the ones that are attuned to the Adoption Arc! Hope you all enjoy!

Don't underestimate or overestimate an opponent. Be present, aware, and find the right amount of confidence to help you without only focusing on winning and don't give up.

Thats as "rough" as a sketch can be. This picture will be about me becoming 18. If it was cleaned up more I bet it would look cuter than it does now... Can't wait...

The moral of this latest episode, "A Flurry of Emotions," is a simple one, but it's a lesson for the ages: always listen to Spike.
I, like a lot of people, really hated Spike when the show first started. He was annoying, and weak – a carryover from the old "tag along wimpy kid" trope that defined the character back in prehistoric Equestria, G1.

The morning after I posted that, I put about half of my non-furniture belongings in my car and drove inland, far away from the evacuation zone, in an area that isn't expected to flood heavily. I'm now in a concrete block house with my drummer and his dad, which we've been preparing for the storm. I almost drove about 4 hours north, to where Frelania lives, but I wasn't sure I had the gas to make that safe. Getting a good night's sleep in a place where people weren't blowing it off did a good

So, I'm still holding kinda stable around the black hole of my darker emotions. It's an hour to hour thing. Some points are good, and some points I'm desperately clutching at those who've offered their help. I think I can safely say that without the help of friends, family, and friends who have become family, I would no longer be among you.

But that help was and is here, and I...remain.

When I first heard about this episode I was very skeptical. Could Flurry Heart truly be in a good episode? Or at least an okay one?
I assumed the worst for this episode. Once I watched it I realized that I probably shouldn't take an episode for granted based on its premise.
In other words, this episode was... actually good.

I'm not going to proofread this because it IS a bit of a rant about something upsetting me in my personal life...

Just made a new post on Anti-Depression Ponies.
You Are a Beautiful Person
You should go read it. And if you think someone you know could use a pick me up, show or read this to them.

I think I'm done for today.

Just watched the finale of a Let's Play of the game 'Life is Strange'.
Such a sad and touching ending!!

I'm just so 'crashed' emotionally ... and LiS is definitly one of the best games out there! If they leave you like this afterwards, then the developers did something right. Also the soundtrack is awesome.

See you all next time.
Cheers!

This struck me hard when I first heard it makes you think about all the "devil" moments in life I challenge you to look deep inside yourself and find the deep meaning in your "devil" moment and reply it to this comment and your user page

Today, I bring some pretty sad and unfortunate news regarding our family pet, Lenny.

Oh boy it's time for more Flurry Heart!

I've mainly noticed this after writing particularly emotional scenes, like a flashback I just wrote for chapter 15. ((I wrote 3 or 4 chapters ahead, and edit the next one to be posted as I go)) It can be emotionally draining to write some scenes, especially thoughts involving traumas that the characters experienced. It can be kinda rough! I can't even imagine how hard it'd be to write a story like Murky Number Seven or Pink Eyes, with how dark those stories can get at times. It's honestly super

Oh my god.

Oh god, oh god, oh god.

It just... it just... AH!

I have so many conflicting emotions! It felt like a fanfiction, and a musical, and then... and then...

AH!

All they need to do now is bring back Chrysalis and I will never ask for anything else ever.

Oh and by the way, I plan to make a proper eBook cover for this thing...and a new ePub, because the one on the page is corrupted slightly.

I just finished watching the episode "The Perfect Pear" ... and I cried my fuckin' eyes out.

It is really worth watching!!!!

Question for those who already watched: Since the episode ends rather happy, what do you all think really happened to the Apple Parents?

Cheers and have a good one!!
