Those of you who watch everything I do closely will know that I had a story in the works about a certain spooky pony.

You want proof of this, you say? Yeah, I've got that.

Does anyone seem to know what this even is anymore? It's thrown around like it's candy. The entire point to trolling is its subtlety. Let's take a few cases in point (note: I like these people; they just use the word "troll" improperly):

I feel like sharing my thoughts lately. Something's been nagging at me, and I've been getting the urge to write something like this for a while. So, here goes, I guess.

Death has always been something that you're either afraid of or find fascinating. This actually tends to evolve over time, depending on age, situation, and social pressure. Generalizing it into two camps of those who fear or embrace something doesn't make death any less confounding to us, though.

Yeah, yeah, I know about that sunscreen video. Just because it's been done once before, that doesn't mean I can't try something like it.
