Dear Loyal Watchers, Interested Visitors, and Confused Passersby:
I made the fatal mistake this holiday season of overcommitting myself. I tried to get so many things done, I failed to get almost any of them done in time for my online friends.
But it is the holidays. And just as my mother orders things from Amazon and sometimes gets them on December 30th instead of the 24th, it is still part of the 12 days of Christmas, right?
That’s totally how it works, isn’t it?
Yesterday, I had something happen to me that got me thinking, about My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and about the reception it gets in the fandom and I decided to talk a bit about it. Afterthoughts on the Finale will still come next week, but today, I want to talk about something else.
Yes, that's right, everyone--my longest story, If You Give a Little Love, has been accepted to Equestria Daily! This is my first-ever EqD acceptance, but it may not be my last--I'm thinking of submitting Paging Doctor Sparkle in the future as well. In any case, this is as much a cause for celebration as any, and I have all of you to thank for it!
Today I was giving a customer a ride home, and she started talking about Kobe, and then asked if I though he was the happiest man on Earth.
I said that I didn’t know.
And by the time I’d dropped her off at her house and started on the way back, I had most of the plot of this story in place.
What the fuck am I doing with my life? I thought I could do more things this summer now that I can drive but I was wrong. I'm just complaining on the internet.
Just spent a day at the villa chilling out by the pool. Got a pretty funny video to upload of that event too, providing this shitty tablet will work well enough to let me do so. Also had a surprise visit from the daughter of the woman who married my mom and dad back in 2004 when we came on holiday to America for the first time. Sadly that lady passed away from cancer, but it was lovely to see her daughter, her father, and her stepmom over at our place. We had a nice talk and conversation about
Sometimes, I really hate myself... Last week, I announced I would be finishing and uploading a new chapter on the Tuesday following, but... that didn't pan out as I hoped... One day late bled into two, then three, and next thing I know, it's Sunday.
Shit.
I know I'm rusty, but jeez it still sucks being told the story I wrote didn't do well. I honestly don't know if I should keep going.
So today my family and I have been visiting a couple of shopping malls in a quest to find a special kind of perfume for my friend's girlfriend. It's been eventful, to be honest. XD
And this where the fifth of my six installments will be. I will continue to go through Bride of Discord, and yet again, blog about the three chapters that I stare at, puzzled to what exactly is unfolding on my computer screen.
That means that there's going to be another block of text and me being bitter.
"It was the year of fire..."
"the year of destruction..."
"the year we took back what was ours."
"It was the year of rebirth..."
"the year of great sadness..."
"the year of pain..."
"and the year of joy."
"It was a new age."
"It was the end of history."
"It was the year everything changed."
“The year is 2017.”
“The place… right here.”
So I don’t typically do episode follow-ups (as in, I never have and don’t really plan on doing them again), but this episode is relative to an important topic to me, and after throwing my thoughts into Discord, a friend suggested I make a blog post about it. Then Looking around a bit, I was surprised that there weren’t more people discussing the episode from this POV. So here we go, talking about how The Maud Couple relates to the portrayal of autism in mainstream media!
Do you know what you all deserve? Another preview for my soon-to-be-released fic about Brown Sugar. By the number of views blog entries about her get, I can tell that a lot of you are very interested in reading a story about her and I feel guilty for letting you all wait so much longer than I announced.....
“Pinkie,” said Twilight evenly. “I’m not gonna judge you for your actions, and I know we all need a friend sometimes, but I just gotta know. Why’d you do it?”
“Oh Twilight,” laughed Pinkie Pie, from atop her throne of bones. “Sometimes, you don’t need a reason! You just do things to see what happens!”
14 more days before...before...something happens...
