Hi everyone. I want to thank you all so much for all the love you've shown for my new story. I have a few ideas for others I hope to work on down the line, as well as a couple of one-shots I'm working on now, and I hope you enjoy those too.

So I heard that the latest episode includes a reference to clone!Pinkie still being alive. Well, okay, I didn't "hear" it. I saw a buttload of fics in the featured and popular boxes, all using the same screencap as their cover.

I'm not ecstatic about the reference. Now the fandom is going to repeat all the same fanfics and plotlines from the first time the clone episode aired, and they were already fairly cliche the first time.

A friend of mine on a Discord server explained the importance of anger and how it's a valid human emotion.

Here's what they said.

"...it's okay to feel anger or even hatred towards people who hurt you and abuse you, especially if they're family and supposed to love you."

"Anger and hatred aren't "un-Christian" feelings. They make us human. They protect us."

"If we were happy and loving all the time, we wouldn't be human."

Er, the chat service client, not the god of chaos.

Find me at Leoshi#3317. I'm also part of the Gentlecolts writing staff (as of today, woo!), and a semi-regular of the Ling Lang multi-language server. I can't help but wonder why I never got this sooner.

Oh, uh, I do have Discord though. The god of chaos variety.

I enjoy writing a certain way. I like word's - falling, reaching, peaking at the sky as they breach...

You. The reader at the end of the day, frayed as they are with the touch of rain, cloud, and mound's of grass covered in the smell of wet fur and smoke.

I want you to feel something...

I want to feel something...

I think that in the pursuit of being a better writer. Their is a mistake that is almost not a mistake.

Almost a hole. A trap.

When your imaginary friend starting telling you to murder everyone, you realize that the whole experience would make a pretty good song.

When the little voice in your head start speaking to you in Spanish only, you realize just how awful google translations actually are.

When your sister starting making it very clear just how willing she really is, you realize that the old say, "Where there's a will, there's a way," is always true.

Hats: You guys want an Applejack chapter or a shipping chapter?

Readers: Applejack!

Hats: Okay.

A few Readers: And later on, more shipping! Twilight x Gadget is yummy!

Hats: Twilight x what now?

A few Readers: Doooo eeeeeet!

Hats: No! Look, you want it so bad, if one of you write a Twilight x Gadget fic, then I'll put it on my blog post, okay?

Well, once again, I entered a writing contest, and would you look at that? Not one single mention of my story. I don't know why, it might be because it was rated Teen when most of the others were Mature. Maybe I'm not as good of a writer as I thought I was. Or maybe I shouldn't even bother writing stories for contests.
