This is some weird mismatching postmodern/surrealist shit.

  • Magical world of many magical races.
  • Bureaucracy in education.
  • Magical world of magical racism
  • Emotional distress over a school.
  • International war over missing students.
  • Furballs of death.

What is even happening???

i disagree on the “racism” part.

chanceller pony isnt used to having foreign species in equestria.

he just needs talking to.

Hmm true. (Season-spanning conflict maybe?)

Although, I’m memeing a bit. Like calling Starlight a communist and stuff like that. Not 100% serious :P

ramble about things, draw a thing at least once every 3 years, complain about things that don’t matter, sometimes fangasum over a thing, that’s about it.

Holy shit, school absolutely fucking sucked this semester. Just a mess of endless work that essentially ate away at my time to draw/write, sleep, eat, and other things. Sure, I somehow managed to escape with my best academic performance to date, but I still feel dead inside because holy shit the effort it took to manage it all.

Thank god I’m on break. Honestly, I just wanna get back in the rhythm of drawing the things I should be drawing for once and I’m trying my best, guys. I swear ;2;

Okay now I gotta draw something, so here’s a rare Rare.

Alright, time to complain.

WHAT THE FUCK I WROTE A 26 PAGE SPEC REPORT ON WAVEFORM SIGNALS AND CPU PIPELINING BECAUSE MY LAB PARTNER IS A NERVOUS DIPSHIT AND THE GRADERS DIDN’T EVEN CONSIDER IT AS A MAJOR PART OF THE FINAL PROJECT???????

FUCK OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Okay, now to fangasming. It’s actually kinda mild but:

wtf I love Starlight now and I still haven’t seen all of season 7 yet but I’m pretty excited to finally get to it yaaaayy

Alright, I’ve done my blogging for the week. u2u

Everyone knows that a commission is the best way to break the ice with an artist, which has the unfortunate side effect of all commissions potentially obliging you to a social contract you weren’t aware of.

Requesting little edits and wanting a diagnosis on why the pic source file isn’t working on their end is not really a sign of growing friendship if you ask me :v

Honestly microsoft is just gonna send you a new one- that’s what they did when my surface cracked. Payed the $450 for ‘repairs’ and then like a week later BOOP HERE’S A NEW ONE

I figured, haha!

And honestly, this situation is just weird because me and dad did sort of rush to find a replacement.

The day it broke (which was Thursday), we immediately bought the replacement under the assumption that the thing was dead and he had it sent to me over the weekend.

What we ended up getting was a discounted surface pro 4. Again, we really thought the SP3 was a goner and that sending it to MS would take too long. And I loved the surface and didn’t want to let go ;2;

Awkwardly, I did manage to get the SP3 working again by miraculously disabling the touch screen drivers (keyboard navigation for the win!). So as a regular ol’ laptop, the thing works just fine.

So now I have two Surfaces, one in much better condition than the other, but both working.

And I seriously don’t know what to do? Do I keep the new one and sell the old one because upgrades are nice? Return the new one and keep the old one or send it to get MS-replaced because the upgrade is pointless? Dad says he’s okay with any option and I feel bad for having him spend so much ;n;

How much would repairs cost?

Microsoft wants $450 for sending the machine to them so they can “repair it.” It’ll probably take a good while, and I need that thing for school so it’s not exactly a viable option until after the semester ends. And I’m fairly certain that the cracks will only get worse and become a hazard.

Fortunately, it’s not a dire situation. I already received a replacement laptop (thanks dad), so there’s no emergency anymore. But it makes things a little complicated because now I don’t know if I’m just gonna keep the replacement and sell the SP3 or if I’m gonna return the replacement and send the SP3 for repairs.

Nyeh.
