Fellow bronies: Brace yourself for incoming fandom drama.
And here's the weird part — this time, it's not actually our fault.

It’s been quite entertaining watching Derpibooru completely implode in on itself as TSP, the site’s owner, completes this strangely riveting villain arc and has a full-on villainous breakdown. Reminds me a lot of those dark magic Twilight fics, in fact. A slow burn of questionable decisions until the madness is fully revealed (through leaked chat logs) and leaves you wondering where the train hopped off the tracks.
A lot of things have happened in the last few months. "Letters to Cozy Glow" (which finally has a new chapter being worked on now) hasn't updated for almost five months. "Dreamwalker Dash" (which is not yet being worked on again, but will be soon, further information will follow) hasn't updated for exactly five months. And I haven't written and released anything for more than two months now.
It seems that fandom drama is not healthy for the writing spirit. Especially not if said drama has been started by an extremist cult leader on Twitter and his followers and if it endangers one of the most important bastions in our fandom and causes an unspeakable amount of pony art to disappear forever.
I've seen a few complaints about this and some confusion, so here's a quick clarification:
I won't go into it why I want Lemon Crumble to be referred to as a filly only on my account and especially under stories for her more than I already did, I have explained this plenty here.
I..... maybe overdid it a little? After the April Foals joke I did yesterday, I feel horrible.
This comes unexpected, because I wanted to not discuss the issue further until my ban on Derpibooru has expired, but something else ridiculous just happened that needs clarification and being called out.
I need to vent. Because I just stumbled over the greatest and biggest absurdity I've ever had to encounter in 33 years on this planet. I have the feeling that I need to write this down to prevent myself from going nuts. That's how bad it is.
