it was that the beautiful @carrotquill had roped me into making a Sweetie Belle ask blog and that I had, out of spite, created the one blog that would require the minimal amount of effort possible: an ask blog that only updates once a year.
Turns out that even the minimal amount of effort is quite a bit of effort.
But effort is not the reason that I decided to end Yours Yearly Sweetie Belle today.
The reason is, as dumb as it sounds, that things change. I’m not the person I was three years ago, and you are not the person you were three years ago. I still live ponies to death, but the concept of a foal sitting in front of a stationary camera and posting her antics only once a year only gets you so far.
Today is not an end, it is a beginning.
With me having a job now, I have less time than I used to have. But with me having a job now, I also have more persistence than I used to have.
Thus, my new year’s resolution is to diligently work towards getting a new ask/story blog on the road, with all the work that is necessary to adapt to the new canon that the latest seasons brought regarding the CMC.
I want to finally start Still Crusading.
It is probably a dumb idea to start a story blog if you have never managed to create more than eighteen updates per year in your life, but it is a dumb idea that can serve as a beacon. We will see where this beacon will lead and I sincerely hope that all of you will help me stay on my way towards it.
I am forever grateful to the people who made Yearly Sweetie possible and believed in it to the end. Only a few of these beautiful souls are: @chaotic-conundrums, my collaborator of last year and, coincidentally, boyfriend; @post-cactus, my collaborator of always and, coincidentally, a plant;
literally every member of Cacti’s Love Shack, @autumnbramble, @tempusfidgets, @poorlydrawnpony, @nickname-livestream, @samrosemodblog, etc., y'all are the best friends I could and couldn’t ask for; @barontristan, @conspicuouslad, @sixthousandbees, @rainbow-gale-comics, @youobviouslyloveoctavia, and several more people simply for liking what I do, and showing that;
my senpai forever @finalskies for making me a gift I didn’t deserve and inspiring me more than I could imagine;
all the members of @sweetiebellesbandb - this whole group blog idea didn’t work out, but it was a fun time and we had one heck of a Christmas;
and literally anyone who ever sent an ask to this silly blog, seriously, I’m crying a tiny bit and I’m on mobile and I would look y'all up if I could but if you have the tiniest thought of thinking that you contributed to this, then you have my thanks as well.
And with that, the post is going on far longer than I wanted and it’s already well past half past three a.m., I wish all of you an absolutely stellar 2017. Stay as great as you are and become even greater if you want to.
SAI, I love you but if you’re gonna run out of allocated memory during a canvas rotate and then proceed to break the canvas (access violation exceptions out the wazoo), and thus render it unsavable and losing 2 hours of work, then you got another thing coming.
Oh, and not the mention this monstrosity of an error log text file.
Daddy took me to see Moana last night! 😍🙈🙊😻 it was amazing and he’s the best daddy ever
Keep your kink out of the Moana tag, thanks.
How about you go fuck yourself I didn’t ask for your opinion or impute so go do whatever the fuck you do somewhere the fuck else we didn’t go see this movie for the fact we are ddlg or kink related we went because I wanted to see the fucking movie I’m the daddy btw a 22 year old guy who fucking likes movies if they are good so go fuck your self because I’m planning on watching it again and guess what you can’t fucking stop me so you need to grow the fuck up this isn’t even inappropriate your just looking to start shit so move the fuck along you piece of fucking shit and guess what I carry a fucking pistol on me to guess you have a problem about that to so just go to your safe zone where you can play big and bad like you have any fucking clue how this world works and quit trying to tell someone how to live their life if you got a problem you can come find me my name is loveless bitch
I swear I’d better get an A on that calc exam because the hours I had put into preparing for it will possibly keep my sleep schedule royally fucked for weeks to come.
Well I didn’t get an A but I got a fucking 88 I’M SO GODDAMN HAPPY RIGHT NOW THAT’S THE HIGHEST SCORE I’VE EVER GOTTEN IN A MATH EXAM AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Formally, the mark is representation of multiple timelines. The black one is main line. The green is a timeline that diverges from the main one. The orange is an AU that does its own thing. And the blue is some timey-wimey multiuniversal bullshit.
But I was definitely influenced by subway maps when I first came up with it. Public transportation and infrastructure and maps are other interests of mine.
Overall, the mark stands for a talent in world-building and designing. A bit broad, but I think it fits me alright. ‘ -’
Trying to schedule updates regularly is not working at all. So instead, I’m gonna dedicate long bursts of time to draw entire arcs instead of individual updates. It’ll take a while, but once it’s done, I can split the arc up into posts and post them one after another. Sorta like how I did the sketchbook posts.
