This is why you should never let Petri idle in front of paper and pen. · 6:57pm Aug 12th, 2019

Hey, guys! Remember when I said in my last blog?

Hence, why some of you guys probably noticed me jotting stuff down onto a piece of paper. That was a regular occurrence in Quills and Sofas when I couldn't think of anywhere else I needed to be or anything else that I had to do at the moment, and was subsequently busy letting my idle hands be the devil's playthings.

Lacking the urge to write at the moment, I've decided to go and share some of the pearls of wisdom I put down while I was idling in front of paper and pen! Are you ready for literary gems? You probably shouldn't be.

Staggering works of heartbreaking genius: A tale in 3 acts.

1: Short short short examinations of literature, Fig. 1-4

Fig. 1: The Story without a skeleton.
Once upon a time, there was an assemblage of words. Without anything to hold it together, the teeming throng of letters collapsed inward upon itself and died.
Fig. 2: The Skeleton without a story.
Once upon a time, there was a pre-alpha of a first draft. It was theoretically full of potential, but without anything to give it nascence, it was never born. To some, that's the same as being dead.
Fig. 3: Storyless lack of skeletons.
Once upon a time, there were jellyfish. They have little; they desire little. With no driving force behind them, they failed to create an impetus that might have given birth to a story.
Fig. 4: Stories and Skeletons.
Yet another Ogres & Oubliettes rip-off, and lacking in the layers of the original. Lacking in depth, too. Suitable for only those who like the spooky and the scary. 6.5/10

_{Seriously, O&O is the name everypony knows for a reason.}

2. Useful notes for interpersonal communication

Things to do when around the Barcast folks: a guide
Act polite
Shitpost verbally
Shitpost verbally onto a piece of paper
Give a table dance like a real G
Talk about horses
Talk about alcohol
Talk about podcasts
Talk about writing
Talk about everything else
Hate on that one guy you're socially obligated to hate. This applies to any socially-obligated-to-hate person, anyway. Chad Kroeger from Nickelback, for instance, also counts.
Sing some Nickelback songs in Fluttershy's voice
Talk about Aragon (possibly again)
Talk about Skirts (again by default, since everyone is a Skirts alt.)
Elucidate the impromptu congregation of writers about how Discord is best pony
Drink heavily
Meme
Talk about horse episodes that didn't already come up in the discussion about horses
Get hype
Get sad

Drinky heavily-er
Pass out
Wake up
Repeat

3: Not even acquaintances should be safe from shipping: a good example on how to rek and get rekt

Aquastream: a Love Story
"OH MY GOD AQUAMAN YOUR CHEST"
Aquaman blinked and stared at Silverstream. "What."
"YOUR CHEST IS SO FLOOFY OH MY GOD"
Aquaman's brow furrowed. "Silverstream, you're a hippogriff."
"SO?"
"You have chest floof. You are aware that it exists."
"SO?"
"This isn't even real. You're a fictitious character, and I'm an originally created griffon personification of an individual-"
Silverstream grabbed Aquaman and buried her face in his chest. "FLOOF."
Aquaman sighed. "Okay. Yes. It's floofy."
"I LOVE YOU SO MUCH."
"I'm glad my body makes you happy, I guess."
"LET'S GET MARRIED AND MAKE BABIES."

_{Not even Best Girl could approve of a story like that.}

I don't have anything that I could really add onto what's been given here. There's no nice conclusion to make. So, uh...I'm sorry. Again. For all of this.
