You know what’s worse than snow?

WET SNOW

1.5 FOOT TALL PILES OF WET SNOW

WITH TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS

AND PUDDLES THE SIZE OF CONNECTICUT

AND THEN IT ALL FREEZES BACK TO ICE OVERNIGHT

FUCK THIS WINTER

and of course the guy at the pump loves to just spend 1000 years drinking the fucking shit seriously what could possibly make this process take so long

I should note the Jersey stations are full service. So there are guys up there handling the mess. And they’re pretty chill.

“Hey they should call the news or something!”

Also, another snowstorm is coming to fuck us up again. So yeah. Fill ‘er up.

tip: When you’re at an airport, add “?.jpg” at the end of any URL to bypass the expensive WiFi and access the Internet for free.

this actually works wtf

Not sure if it works. Does anyone know?

I have never once been at an airport that doesn’t offer free wifi.

Newark Liberty is the only airport I’ve been to that has pay-per-minute wifi. And it’s the regional airport, so it’s annoying as fuck.

Never tried this trick, though. I usually just sit near the first class lounges and leech off of them.

GAAAAAH I’M SO FUCKING ANGRY (Rollercoaster of emotion time)

But reblogging that post with a public message of discontent is not the right thing to do.

Best to do it in private.

Sorry about that.

HEY. CACTUS MAN. Do you read the IDW comics? Well, you better start if you don't. The previews for the upcoming CMC + Discord issue just came out and I get the feeling that this issue will be extremely relevant to your interests. (Especially Sweetie Belle. I shit you not, in this issue she's wearing glasses just like PC Sweetie Belle does.)

WHAT

PROOF. I NEED PROOF.

You know what’s one of my fears on this site?

Making a post that is worded imperfectly and ends up upsetting people even though I never intended for that to happen.

You know what’d be cool?

If ask blog artists (primarily speaking to the digital ones) got together and did a “Traditional Art Week” or something.

Everyone would ditch the tablet for a week and update their blog solely using traditional media. Pens, pencils, crayons, paints, etc!

That’d be awesome!

Written? You mean possible ideas for your blogs, or more like fanfics? (I know you've written at least one, that old SpikeBloom fic you mentioned deep in the annals of your DA journal) Either way, I'd like to see them.

It’s a bit of both.

Obviously, WIP scripts for PC and Diaries are rather confidential. So no peeking.

But I do have ideas for fanfics and such. Many of them have been started but shelved for the moment.

An old one is a zombie apocalypse short story/comic about a mare with a foal looking for the foal’s parents in an abandoned city riddled with the undead and whatnot. (Lucky)

There’s also a sad ghost story starting Sweetie and Scootaloo. Need I say more? (Zero Days)

On the lewder side, I have a fic idea about Spike dealing with mares and their battle with the heat cycle. Oddly enough, it’s not a clopfic. It’s maturely themed, but there’s no sex as the focus. That one’s fun to write. (The Garden State)

One is a more comedic story about Rumble and Dinky trapped in a ditch for two hours and they keep trying to cope with each other. This one is a bit cool because it’s PC’s first official spinoff fic. (Diabetics and Detours)

On the note of spinoffs, Diaries may also get a companion fic that acts as a universe-builder. (The Immigrant’s Guide to Equestria)

There’s a lot more floating around, but too underdeveloped or secret to mention.

I’d like to show some WIPs.

But I actually don’t have any drawn ones at the moment.

I do have written ones, though, if that entices some people.
