One of the benefits of social media in the modern age is that you can create all sorts of crazy cool stuff. I wrote a fanfic yesterday, now I wanna' draw a piece of art that was mentioned where Twilight is a badass goth vampire and she's sucking blood from a demon's heart, and I can do that and share it with other people who are into alternative stuff. So yeah, life can be a little fun from time to time.
So, about all this supposed racism and white supremacy within the fandom...
It seems that all this nonsense is focused around the negative reaction to blm imagery on derpibooru, which I find interesting and odd at the same time.
Ah April Fools Day. A time for merriment and silliness. Like Halloween, it's one of those days cordoned off for behavior that would normally be considered awkward or unusual. But, as often happens on these normalcy-flaunting holidays, people mess up. The social mores and rules are poorly defined, and people often rush to do something silly and step over the line. For today's meandering musing post, I'd like to discuss some things that make a good--or bad--April Fools prank.
Proudly bringing you all an audio reading for An Issue in Friendship by Captain Burrito!

I’m not usually political, heck I try to stay away from politics as far and much as possible. But this past year or so has made it very hard, and to that end I made a shirt. You can find it here, I don’t have high hopes for it selling, but I feel that the movement has to start somewhere.
I am on:

Wattpad: (glitch_effect)
Drawcast: (glitcheffect)

Undertale Amino: (glitcheffect) [HIATUS]

While I have been interested in Mlp for a few years now I have only, up until recently, been a fan of fanfics or fan art and haven’t actually watched or read much of the official material. I find it a little bit sad and worrying that I didn’t decide to become involved in the fandom until after the series ended since it could mean that I would be too late. Thankfully those worries have been quickly disproven.
Hiya, lovely peeps!
February 2023 has barely started and I already wrote seven blogs and one 3k-word story! I am on fire, baby!
Alright, so welcome to today’s story:A Study of Smart & Social
(Long title, I know. Longest one I have, actually.)
Sometimes I feel like I'm not making conversation on FIMFiction so much as I'm randomly stumbling around and erratically stabbing people with a linguistic rapier. I'm feeling it especially acutely right now because there are a couple of conversations I'm trying to join, or to rejoin, and I keep locking up when I try.
I work with ex-military types, retired Master Chiefs mostly. And to deal with them you just gotta--I dunno how to describe it. They're not bullies (mostly), but they're forceful and their sense of humor is rough and you don't just have to be able to take it, you have to dish it out, too. At least a little. Not too much, because they're in charge. But if you can't give as you get then they won't respect you.
Parallel Universes for Dummies is now up.
It got three downvotes within half an hour of going live.
I'd say I'm disappointed, but really, I'm more impressed. There are at least three users who are constantly searching for new Flash Sentry stories in order to express their displeasure at his continued existence. These people aren't just determined in their hatred, they are devout.
So, I rented a big suite at BronyCon, and I'm going to have an author/reader/friends party again!
But... I still don't know on which evening!
Wacky waving inflatable flailing-arm tube mare!
I wasn't there when The Scent of Prey featured back in 2014. I'd fallen asleep and woken up to an ocean of "you lucky bastard!" comments which were sadly deleted after an extensive edit back in early 2015 (the 2.0 edit with Firesight mentioned in the long description) saw the deletion of chapter six, Among The Stars. As people who've followed me for a while may know I have a complicated relationship with TSoP. I've come to accept that it featured despite its many, many flaws as a story and
So, as the few folks who followed me before this know, I tend to just pop in stories when they run into my head and I want to share them. For some I don't plan them at all, for others I do. The fact that Missing Piece of My Core, the story I've just posted, has gotten such a response as it has surprises the ever loving hell out of me. It's currently on the 'Popular Stories' section of the site and Albinocorn, whom I consider to be a high tier author, has commented on it.
