Dear Diary,

Arc came back today! And he brought a new friend along too! Her name's Natalya, and she's never heard of cupcakes! I made sure she'll never forget them now! She seemed really nice and all, but... but my Pinkie Sense was going CRAZY the whole time she was here! Like she was dangerous, or something! But I know Arc's WAY too smart to let somepony like HER outsmart him!

Talking is a good way to get to know your date. But don't forget to listen as well.

Darkness… silence… pain…
Or is it… lack of pain?
What is… pain?
I… am I?
Who…? Time… death… life… undeath... no death?
So… unknown…
Helmet… thoughts… scared…!

…alone… cold… lonely…

Making plans for a proper date are fine. But don't feel the need to go overboard.

First off, huge shoutout to Dracio and Fuzzy Fabricator for kindly buying me coffee. If either of you have suggestions for a story idea or anything, really, you're always welcome to let me know.

Secondly, I leave for a few days and what the hay happened to the site? On mobile, it doesn't look to different, and my screen is so dim and off-color (some sort of glitch) I didn't notice. The tag updates, though, and the blue... it's driving me bonkers. I suppose I'll get used to it.

The scariest thing about being a fimfiction writer is the seconds after publishing something. I've got this tradition, you see, where I hug a pillow and wait out my traditional post-publishing panic attack, and resist the urge to delete everything and cry in a corner.

I sit on my floor, surrounded by crumpled clothes, squinting at a screen as big as my hand. I don't move much, just pull down on the tab in Chrome. Refresh, refresh.

Maybe this time, I think. Maybe this time, someone will read and someone will comment and then I'll be satisfied, it will have been enough, pouring a bit of my soul into every fic I write will have been worth it.

Dear Diary,

Pain... so much... pain! My body... everything... hurts! Why... why does this... always happen?! The beasts I controlled... gone! My plans... in ruins! My body... broken! Somepony... won't somepony help... me?! Please...

Pride comes before a fall.

The question haunts through the ages, from the greatest to the small,
whispered, ever-echoing, repeating like a song,
Though many try to block it out, it still affects us all,
"What if they're the one's who's right, and what if I am wrong?"

sometimes I forget
sometimes I doubt what I go through is real
what if I'm wrong
what if

but really

that was your plan all along, wasn't it

Dear Diary,

Of all the things that could have happened, THIS is the WORST… POSSIBLE… THING!!! I can’t BELIEVE what I said and DID to Arc! And in front of Applejack too! While I understand now that we were under some kind of spell, that doesn’t make it right! Arc was so very thoughtful and Kind not to… act on my advances!

Dear Journal,

Yaks attack Crystal Empire today! Show ponies yaks best! Bring glory to Yakyakistan and Princes Rutherford! Shouldn't be too tough. Gates may be big, but yaks are stronger than gates! As soon as yaks get here with black powder, we get things moving around here! Looking forward to telling the prince how easy this job was!

Do your best to out-think an opponent.

Rose and the orphans are similar inasmuch as their future's are unknown. Arc did his best to set both on the right path. However, they must choose to walk it.

A fight can often times be completely avoided by outsmarting your opponent.

One must know whom can be trusted... and whom cannot.

Dear Journal,

This is all my fault! Cherry got hurt saving me from an avalanche of crates! It should have been ME under there, not her! How will I ever explain this to Arc?! “Sorry, I think I just got your fiancé killed?!” That won’t cut it! I… I can only hope to pay for my crimes properly… in the dungeon where I belong! I’m sure Arc will take care of Dinky for me until she’s old enough to be on her own. Hopefully she won’t forget about me…

Dear Diary,

Today Arc and I went to the store together! Since my… rebirth, as it were, I now have a new appreciation for the little things in life! Small moments that may seem like drudgery to others are filled with joy and wonder with him! I’ve been given a chance to see his life and world through his eyes!

Progress Report,

The foolish Hero of Light came to Stableton today with, of all things, his FAMILY! How exactly he found his way here from the Winsome Falls is beyond me! Now that he knows about my hometown, I really should do away with him. It would be a simple matter to… no… no I want a fair fight! I want to be able to look back on our battle with pride one day! To remember the day I bested my greatest foe!

Dear Journal,

What an ending to the day! Where do I even begin?! At the beginning, I suppose. Well, it all started this evening. Ember and I had an eventful day, what with gathering as is our custom, so we decided to call it an early night. I awoke as the general alarm was raised to a rather warm feeling on my back. While it had become… somewhat of a regular occurrence, waking up with Ember’s claws on my back or her arms around me is still a bit… I don’t know.
