So it's been an interesting year for everyone. I think I've been off my A-game these last few weeks likely because of a cold I've gotten which had set me back on my stories. I feel like I wanna make up for it next year, but it's the holidays so I feel I should still take it easy.

I'm hoping that everyone else is enjoying this time of year with friends, family, and loved ones. Not too sure what will happen next year, but I'm hoping everyone will have a great time.

So I've had a pretty bad weekend. It started out with my dad having an injury after passing out on a ladder, messing up his back and having to go to the hospital, but what was worse was what happened to my oldest cat. The vet said he had kidney failure, causing drooling, seizures, and bleeding from his mouth. There was little chance that he would've made it past a week, so it was likely best to just put him down, which was just painful to me. I knew he was getting old, but I didn't think it would be this painful when it came to an end. It just feels like it's a terrible weekend for me, and I just needed to vent about how this.

My mom is making plans to move in the future, and it's causing me a bit of stress. I'm on the spectrum and I often rely on my parents for things, though I try my best not to be a freeloader. The main issue comes from my dad, as my parents live separately and it's about a forty-minute drive between their two places. I visit my dad on weekends when my mom works and we usually hang out and such, unfortunately, I can't stay there since my mom's home is closer to where I work. Though my job is a little strict on vacation time during the holidays, which is another one of the main problems.

Because of the limitations of vacation time and the distance between where my parents live increasing, I find myself stuck in a problem. If I move with my mom, I won't be able to visit my dad anymore, but if I don't move I'll be living in my own house and it'll get pretty lonely. What should I do?

So I'm pretty sure that you've seen the comics I've commissioned having the dragons from MLP turning into diesel locomotives. My friend and I thought it would be fun to try and have a vote since we had a ton of different ways for these kind of transformations to go. Seriously, there are so many ways of inanimate TFs for the characters to turn into. So much so that I made a strawpoll to help figure out which ones are the best kind of TFs. So if you like these transformations, please place a vote here: https://strawpoll.com/e7ZJGD5rWy3

My week so far has been pretty bad, the lawn keeps breaking down, my bedroom carpeting got flooded and my need to be removed, and now one of my cats got kidney failure. My cat Fiddler at least went peacefully so she wouldn't be in pain. She might've caused a few issues, especially with her claws, but she was still a loving cat and I'll miss her.

So I've been wanting to share my idea of my version of humanized MLP as well as the human transformation series Dequestria. I've been thinking about doing this since my friend, Proper Noun, won't be able to keep in contact with me for a long while due to personal reasons. It's a shame, since out of the few people that enjoyed talking about Dequestria, he and I had talked about plenty of ideas and he's even helped me write a few stories.

My other friend has his interest in other topics, which I don't blame him, and third person I haven't heard from since April. So my options for sharing my ideas with Dequestria have been extremely limited. I'm wanting share this idea with other people as this idea is something I feel can really take off.

There can be ideas such as the Wonderbolts becoming like the Blue Angels or Princess Celestia becoming the President. There can be other parallels such as the fate of certain villains like Chrysalis ending up in jail. There can even be OCs used or thought up for Dequestria scenarios, such as Kindling Flames or MLPrainbowcrash's OC; Inky Shader.

I'm really wanting this idea to take off because my friends and I have put a lot of time into it. I want to share these ideas with more people as Dequestria tries to use underrated ideas. So maybe making a Dequestria server on Discord could help this idea take off.

I’m always trying to keep an eye out for artists open to commissions, but ones I find either don’t do the type of comm I want or they’re too expensive. I would like some help for artist that do mlp and/or transformation sequences so if you know any good candidates, I’m all ears.

I saw this post and I thought I would try and help out.

I've had a bit of conflict with an artist who I shall not name because I don't want to cause any drama with them. Because of this though, I'm now down a commissioner. I'm loving to see art about MLP and transformation, sometimes both of them together. They're the best way of bringing the Dequestria idea to life. I don't want this to be stuck with just one or two artists and wearing them out, causing more trouble. I just want to find another artist who makes transformation sequences involving MLP characters. I hope it helps cheer me up.

I've been thinking about the stories I've written; Selina's Cruise and Emma's Anger. I don't feel too proud of these stories because I feel like things are missing from them. I don't think I got enough detail with them and Emma's story feels kind of rushed in my opinion. I kind of want to retry writing them and improve their details. Some other stories might include Sylvia's Swim or other stories I write in the future, including the next story I plan on uploading. I was excited to upload these stories because I thought they felt unique, but I like to redo some of them so they feel right.
