I’m beginning to fear that I don’t actually belong in this fandom anymore. For reasons I cannot quite understand or articulate, ponies have started to make me sad whenever I delve much into them…
…which results in a predictable difficulty working on updates even when I can manage the time.
I’m not dead. Really. Just smothered in work. For those of you that are worried, you needn’t be — I’ll get back to updating as soon as I can. This isn’t a matter of dwindling interest. I’m just kind of swamped right now.
I should have /something/ up within the week… and I ought to be able to start updating regularly again within a month at the latest.

Go ahead and say it. You know you want to….
So, wait. You mean to tell me it doesn’t always end badly?
When I’m Choosing to Play Something from a Semi-Obscure Meme.
Inspired by this with poses taken from the original, though they are rather unsurprisingly less impressive with a relatively short mane.
I’ve somehow managed to make it into the Tumblr middle class, and I’d like to take a moment to look backwards and thank the ponies that got me started here in the first place.
Octavia is on hiatus now, but her blog was what drew me to Tumblr in the first place. Back when I frequented Ponychan, it was her work that caught my attention and got me to look into the Tumblr community.
Rainbow Freakin Dash is crossing the threshold into hiatus now, too, but she was the one that got me to actually make an account and start following blogs rather than just checking a couple of blogs once a week or so. If she hadn’t pushed me over that brink, I never would have taken the next step.
Applejack was that next step. Following her after a couple of reblogs from RFD, I started sitting in on her streams, and there, talking with other members of the community is what inspired me to start a blog of my own.
Trixie, probably to nopony’s surprise, deserves special mention. Without her interest and investment, I would have quit several times by now for a handful of different reasons on several different occasions. I might update infrequently owing to the demands of real life, but Trixie has kept this blog alive as surely as she has her own.
There are others that deserve my credit and thanks, of course, but without any of these four, my terribly-drawn pictures wouldn’t be cluttering up the internet.
Thank you all.
