Outside the Jinglemas, I was part of a smaller secret Santa exchange. Which means I also wrote this story for Monochromatic. Well known RariTwi shipper isn't satisfied with her two faves, had to get greedy and throw in a third. Now, you might think that it's actually 50% more shipping, but a ship between two people creates one relationship. A three way ship is *three* relationships! This is, mathematically, 300% more ship for your ship.

Today's lessons learned:

-When you stop somewhere, take your car keys with you, apparently kids be crimeing
-When joining a Zoom call on public renovations, put you one-eyed wonder weasel away. Anyone who wants to see it or experience you doing a single arm workout with no weight will ask.

Usually, as a writer, giving characters motivation for why they act the way they do or do things the way they do is very important. But in this specific instance, I found it more realistic to not have it. This was my response:

Spoilers for chapter 6 of FoE: Endless Horizon

So, for the past while, I've been asking various questions to various people about countries from East and Southeast Asia. It all started when I thought to myself, "Hey, Japan is pretty cool!" And it just divulged and diverged from there. Now there are several countries in and around East Asia that I cultivate an interest in, including China, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, and Vietnam. And by far—by far—the thing I love the most about them would be to learn their languages.

So I know it's been pretty evident that I'm not a particularly quick at updates. It's not because I'm busy or anything, I don't have a job. Art is my only source of income, and though commissions do keep me frequently busy they're not entirely the reason why I haven't been particularly active. It's just been hard. Everything has been.

In other things, this is not going to be a particularly positive blog, but it was a long time coming.

So the next time you decide to turn guys into gals for perverse reasons, or you just want to force them into relationships, remember Sonic and Tails.

Thank Faust for Unique.

And more so for his creator; me!

Oh, and RustyBuckets, you left your headlights on mate. And for the last time Officer Hot Pants, get your bloody hand out of my pocket! THAT'S NOT EVEN A POCKET!

Recently, I’ve been trying to be more productive. There are all too many times where I’m aware that I’m wasting my time, and I’m trying to make more of an effort to divert said “dumb time” into time where I actually accomplish something of value.

We’ll see how well it goes, but I’ve managed to put out a review set every other day since I started. So, progress, right?

I have a job now! While this is good because a) money b) money, it had cut somewhat into my previously near-unlimited potential writing time (I say potential because my muse is not nearly efficient enough to actually use that time effectively). The mysterious contest fic didn't get done, but it's going to be done sometime soon as a fully-fledged story. Complete with at least one sequel.

Stanley Kubrick's masterful black comedy satire of the Cold War and the fear of nuclear apocalypse remains just as hilarious and witty as it was more then 50 years ago, remaining one of the best satires ever made.

Another year, another in my series of Idea Graveyard posts, where I discuss an idea of mine that failed to get off the ground for one reason or another. What made me discard the idea, and why haven’t I tried again. Today’s subject is different from my previous failures: its shortcomings are more narrow and simple, but in some ways that makes them harder to fix.

And I was working on the background - which i do AFTER character(s) - when it crashed
Anyway, if you're in my discord server (which yoyo is still in control of,,, hm), then you'd know that I was drawing and GIMP crashed and I was fucking pissed.

I gave up on drawing the rest of the day, and today I started the piece over, saving every so often in case GIMP crashed again.

Here's the finished piece

As far as fanfic goes, I'm currently actively working on three stories. Two of them are new ones I mentioned when I ended my hiatus - Rariquest and Her Chosen Princess of the Sun. As an aside, I've found Cozy Glow's character to be quite close to the character I was going for with Sunset Shimmer in Her Chosen Princess of the Sun, though the role they fill is very different so I still want to get around to writing that eventually. The bigger issue is the Season 9 Premiere addressed the same

So, this is probably gonna be one of those posts where I talk a lot about like, psychology, but also do so largely from the perspective of my own experiences, so I'm gonna start off by posting a picture of the OC that I have that I actually kinda relate to the most, despite how cute the smol green pega is.
_{omg she is so smol and darling and bat}

Today is my seven year anniversary of joining this site. While I haven't posted on here in a while and am conspicuously not looking at any specific story I keep telling myself I'll get back to one day, I have still been somewhat active in reading on this site. The more time that's gone on, though, the stranger it is to look at the stories I have here, and not just because one of those stories is incredibly close to 1k likes, what the fuck.
