IN WHICH I REMEMBER AN OLD LESSON
IN WHICH I REMEMBER AN OLD LESSON
IN WHICH I GREET YOU
Hello and thank you for reading my latest Sunset Shimmer story. As usual, I have a few things to say that wouldn't really fit the Notes box at the bottom. So let's just dive into it, shall we?
IN WHICH I OVERFILL MY PLATE
Hi. If you haven't read 250 yet, I encourage you to. In the meantime, here's music:
One of my absolute favourite Laura Brehm songs I listen to regularly. Standard insanity past the jump.
IN WHICH I SUFFER A MINOR BREAKDOWN
It's the middle of the night here and I don't want to sleep. So here's some Matthew Sweet. Enjoy!
This song is extremely relevant to the Recovery Arc. It also kicks ass. If you'll please click through:
IN WHICH I GET CUT OFF
I'm back from vacation and have been for a couple days. Here's one of the songs I got to see performed live.
And as always, Suzuka sounds better in person than she does on the albums. That girl is phenomenal. Anyway…
This dude was depressed as fuck when they wrote Where Blood and Fire bring Rest. I relate so hard to that because of all the shit that's happened to me.
IN WHICH I, UH, BLUH
Greetings, true believers. It's almost midnight here in the land of the nuts and I realized I haven't made my presence known in awhile, so I figured I'd fix that. If you'll follow me past the jump, I'm sure it'll be worth your while. Actually, it probably won't. But enjoy the rant anyway!
So, I did take most of the month of August off. I did what I said I would do, including celebrating my son's 19th birthday, making arrangements to travel 1500km north in October for my grandfather's 100th, hit the local rivers and lakes and played a lot of video games. Just in case anyone is wondering what an old fart like me plays, my main games currently are:
- World of Warships (Mare_in_the_Moon)
- 7 Days to Die (highly recommended zombie killing, base builder)
This is sorta behind the story blog, and also telling you all the truth. I've been struggling with writing. Constant thoughts of feeling I'm not good enough of a writer, that I just write on Google docs and never share my progress, because I'm terrified it won't be good.
IN WHICH I WORK AND DON'T
First off, as always, I owe my readers an apology for my lack of new stories. However, I have spent much of this afternoon writing. That's sort of progress. See this is why, with the exception of my Mayor Mare stories, I try not to promise anything, because I don't want to let you down. Anyway, click the "Read More" for info.
IN WHICH I APOLOGIZE TO YOU
Aside from a few blogposts (including this question), I regret that November has gone by with no new story content from me. That doesn't mean I sat on my butt the whole time -- actually it does, but that's also my writing position. Anywho, I'll explain past the jump.
IN WHICH I LOVE LAMP
I just made public the latest chapter of The Rejected at an absurd time, so watch this new MV.
Meanwhile, there is a meaning to that weird subtitle, if you'll follow me...
IN WHICH I INCH CLOSER TO MY GOALS
But before I get into that, my now-standard music upload. What today? Laura Brehm. This track just dropped.
Won't lie; I was planning on more Perfume or Laura's "Déjà Vu", but I had to promote the new. Anyway…
Something incredible has happened.
I may have found a treatment to knock out both my myofascial pain and crippling depression.
It's totally like, y'know. Right? Yeah mare.
IN WHICH I PROVIDE A GUIDE
(last updated: 2019-06-14) Since many of my stories are interconnected one-shots or short subjects, I thought it best I link them all in an easy-to-digest way in their proper chronological order. I will edit this blogpost as work progresses. Keep in mind I sometimes write out of order and was often influenced by IRL weather, so the seasonal reality may make only slightly more sense than the Zelda timeline(s).
The reason I'm well is that something marvelous happened to me right when I needed it.
It was dark in the first Discord episode when Twilight lost her will, but Princess Celestia did something remarkable in response: she sent Twilight's letters back to her.
Thanks to Celestia's voice actress, the same thing happened to me. Literally.
IN WHICH I BECOME FRUSTRATED AT MYSELF
One of the things I try to do with my writing here -- I don't think I succeed -- is to create a sense of place. I want my vision of Canterville (named because I felt keeping "Canterlot", even if canon, was dumb and "Camelot" was even dumber) to feel like a proper city despite itself. Follow me for more word-barf.
IN WHICH I ACCOMPLISHED MORE THINGS
Pardon my lack of exclamation in that sub-title. Here's today's music video.
This will likely be the last TheFatRat vid I can post for awhile as I've linked most of his stuff already. Anyway…
IN WHICH IT'S COMING
Okay, so FimFic won't embed Imgur pics even though it says I can, but it'll take the same pic from Facebook? OK. Here is Lamp.
As I promised. Meanwhile, past the jump...
IN WHICH ALL THINGS INEVITABLY END
Well, this is it. The final entry in Sunset’s Recovery Arc. It’s been a long, tough ride. I hope you enjoyed it. I enjoyed delivering it to you. Please follow me below the jump for more talk.
