One of my biggest fears as a new Tumblr artist was that I’ll just end up to be endlessly advertising my own stuff (commissions) and other people (promotions and boosts) instead of actually working on blog content.

Which is why I came up with the “no unrelated reblogs” rule for PC and Diaries.

But with my financial situation about to get a whole lot more noticeable with school resuming and commissions going terribly, I may have to break this rule.

Today I had a nasty scare in which I thought I forgot to include a big plot point this chapter of Post Crusade. But then five minutes later after peeking at the blog for a refresher, I realized that no I didn’t forget. >_>

This is a problem because I’m the fucking writer and I should be keeping track of these things. <_<

All the more reason I should reeeeeeeeally update more often. >_<

I usually don’t have dreams. As in, the standard dream where your own self is the center of it all.

Most of my night thoughts is just my brain going, “Hey here’s a cool story idea and a long movie-like thing about why you should totally realize it.”

But last night I actually had a dream starring me. Something about a second car accident. :T

I’m only mentioning this because just now, my mom told me that we have to pick up the police report on my accident from New Brunswick for record purposes. Which to me spells, “OH SHIT!”

I swear, nothing kills my interest in anything on my Dash faster than video games, abundant drama, and abundant video game drama.

:U

... Huh, I don't see much/any difference between the Pie with the 'changed' hairstyle and the one in the previous update.

Yeah, it turns out that I didn’t change it at all because I was able to get the original to look decent.

ask-captain-rainbow-dash replied to your photo: “If horses had a stop sign, I think it’d look like this. Because it…”:
but that implies that our stop signs look like hands, and I assume you mean stop signs on the road so that doesn’t make any sense I’ve never seen a stop sign on the road that looked like a hand

I was more inspired that the pictogram for “don’t walk” on pedestrian crossings.

Also, the only reason why our stop signs are octagonal is because MUTCD wanted a unique sign to catch people’s attention (most signs are rectangular or triangular). A hand-shaped sign was stupid.

But a simplified hoof has a basic yet unique design that can easily be recognized as distinct from regular signs, which is important for the horses because they often use pictograms.

It also makes sense logically, considering that like our hand gesture, raising one’s hoof in front of somepony is a sign to stop.

TL;DR: I’m overthinking this horseshit to the max please leave me be in my tiny hole of random thoughts.
