Genocide. Slavery. Physical and mental abuse and testing (Nazis). (Cannibalism, maybe.) Disco music. Atrocities, crimes against our fellow man. We like to think of these things as inhuman. But if they are not human, then what are they? It's shocking that the term "humane" pertains to "human." There can truly be nothing so vile as a human.

So I tried drawing myself as a Starcrest for my avatar. I figured I could do several and change it now and then, but they'd always be me. It'd keep it the same, but fresh. The problem with this idea, which I've been struggling with for some time now, is that I cannot draw.

So, I've decided to finally get myself an avatar. I figured I'd go with the closest match I could to how I perceive Discord, maker of the humans.

I'd try to actually draw myself as a Starcrest...
...If I could draw at all.

I'd like to think of this one as temporary, and eventually get one that I will identify more with. If it is me as a Starcrest, then it could change now and then, and just be me doing different things, derping around. I'd like that. But I can't draw.

When comes the Night,
When goes the light
Of dawn and dusk and noon,

When comes the Night,
The Dark shines bright,
and the world sings a different tune.

When comes the Night,
Your fears take flight.
Thought falls to tooth and claw.

When comes the Night,
Trust not your sight:
Same land, different law.

When comes the Night,
All's wrong is right.
Tall tales now hold true.

When comes the Night,
Heed to the Might.
All's fair under the moon.

I think I'd like to write a story where I ship Noteworthy with Raindrop.

Said no one ever.

To take a leaf out of Horizon's book (also, spoilers are overrated):

It seems my time is almost up, gotta think up something quick,
I can feel my beating pulse, hear my heart's racing tick.
Though I many not go on, he still can't touch what's me,
This is not the end of me;
I know that's what the shield is telling me.

It looks like we are all we've got, seems this is our final stand,
We must stop them here and now, or they'll devastate the land.

As most of my watchers already know (though putting it in a blog post makes it feel official), the incredible Horizon has put money in my stead to have One is Silver edited and published by the founder of the Pony Vault, RBDash47.

But, as I now read the fine print of the agreement, I realize that there is a six-month deadline to have the story ready for him. I'm not even done introducing the Mane 6 yet.

So the way I see it, I have three options:
