Do you have a plan for the future of Ask Sombra or do you just wing it? Like a sort of idea of where the story will go.

here is a handy-dandy map of AKS’s future plans

and there’s always the chance we’ll play my favorite game- SUDDENLY CHANGE THE PLOT COMPLETELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

But really, it’s all very flexible. I have certain events that will happen and ones I WANT to happen, and skeletons of specific arcs (I actually plotted the upcoming one IN ADVANCE??? WOAH). I have an ending that I’m like 75% sure I’ll follow through with?

…AKS is 89% done by the seat of my pants sooo uhhh I apologize in advance

You can't just say that without showing us your bed as well. Also how old is he?

Mom changed the sheets so now it looks like this. -__-

And my brother is 11.

I’m seriously still surprised that I’ve managed to keep Post Crusade running for almost 2 years.

It’s a miracle, that’s what it is.

I heard it explained this way once: Good deeds, while good, cannot compensate for bad deeds that are still a problem. The only way to account for something bad that is happening is to stop it, not to try and drown it out with good deeds. This is because suffering and happiness are not drawn from the same pool, and so long as you're generating a lot of suffering, you won't be able to out-happy the suffering.

And on an unrelated and less dramatic topic, re: you wanting to get into computer science: Computing is a big field with a lot of career options, most of which are in huge demand these days. Had you wanted to be a website/software developer? A more low-level computer programmer? Something more hardware-related, perhaps? Or maybe you wanted something in IT or systems management? As a junior developer myself, I could provide some advice if you want it.

Website development and systems management are some things I want to get into.

i feel really really sorry for that 11-year-old boy who tried to kill himself because he kept getting bullied for liking mlp, both because he’s being bullied over a cartoon to the point where he nearly took his life and because bronies are clearly trying to piggyback off of his…

Wow that’s…

Awfully cynical.

I mean, yeah. A ton of bronies are batshit insane.

But there have been multiple fundraisers and charities in the past that have run under the brony name.

It’s not exactly a new thing for them.

Has it really reached a point where anything attempting to be good is just damage control or some attempt to push an agenda?

Really?
