October Blog: I Survived

Yesterday was Thanksgiving for me, and it was... surprisingly nice. I got to talk with my cousin a bit about my fics, and while she's not big into MLP herself, she seems to think the idea of remixing the show into various genres is really cool, especially when I started explaining how interesting worldbuilding is from the standpoint of so many different species existing in the setting, quadrupeds vs bipeds, winged vs non, and so on.

I've also just... been feeling more like an actual living person instead of a corpse going through the motions. Being able to afford my medication certainly helps, and I'm grateful for Ko-Fi help on that one. I haven't replaced the goal with a new one yet but... I may need to stick to more immediate, practical things for a while on that front, as much as ttrpg books and video games would be nice as inspiration fuel for crossovers.

Anyway, onto the stats, and may this month be better than the last few.
