All aboard the FA Express

Hey guys, I wanted to take some time to say something about my art and story's.

I'm sure by the tilted you can tell were this is going. I'll just jump into it as I'll say that as of now, I'm going cutting out anything relating to TUFF Puppy in my art relating to my oc "Michael Hooflex" I won't be making any more tuff puppy refences in my art.

Now befor anyone starts worrying. Let me explain why. Pleases sit tight for a moment and let me explain.

Back in 2011-12ish I became a tuff puppy it was cool to see something new for Butch and the idea was new to me case I know Butch for Farris and Ghosts. So seeing a Anthro Animal spy show was like a fish out of water I liked it. I even joined a Tuff Puppy fan group and wow lots of things happined. I saw amazing art. Cool fan made stories and best of all I meet some amazing people who were fans of the show. A few have befor my very closes friends who still stick by me to this day.

Now its not all good and positive. There are some people in fandoms that are rude and just plain bully's. How I know this kind of thing is comin in any fandom. Its just, Is what it is. Tuff Puppy wasn't the frsit and I know its not going to be the last. But some people can ask you to do somethings and bully you so much to the point that the fun just fads away as time gose one.

Despite this I did try to keep my sprites up but it wasn't so easy. The Last episodes I rememeber watching were Dog Save The Queen and Snappy Campers. But that time not only was a starting to fine the show a little boring but I just discovered My Little Pony Friendship is Magic and the fandom it crated. This was around 2013.

It was around this time I started to lose interested in TUFF Puppy. Now don't get the wrong idea. I'm not saying I regret joining the fandom no far from it it was fun, It was cool drawing and I meet some great people But to be honest, I starts to fall out of it. Plus befor I made my new DA Page and recovered and clean and removed my old DA Page. I thought if I did some art that was similar to what I used to do it would help keep my friends know where I was and I thought it be a great conation and story idea you know a crossing roads idea. But ultimately that idea failed and nothing really come out of it. Plus after I gave my OC Michael Hooflex a new look and a better back story were he was an a young man from World War 1. I honesty like that more then trying to connect him with my old art from DA.

Now dose this mean I'm not doing any more TUFF Puppy fan art any more? Well Yes and No.
I'm thinking of many doing some pictures that I'll post from time to time just for old time sack and nostalgia but I can't say if I'll ever get back in to TUFF Puppy art agina.

In conclusion, I know some one you wanted to see more tuff puppy art from and trust me I wish the same thing too, But my heart is just not into it any more and I don't have the spark for it like I used to. I know some you will be disappointed by this but for thsoes who still support me. I'm truly thankful for it.

Hopefully I’ll be able to make drawings and you guys will like them and see what will come in future stories and sprite idea’s I got planned for.


See you guys around and thank you for taking the time to read this.

I know that Ratchet & Clank's 20th Anniversary was on November 4th. But since it was November when they came out I'm calling November Ratchet and Clank mouth. So for are favorite Lombax and robot backpack, I’m going to tell my history with R&C and the impact that it had on me.

I first come across Ratchet and Clank Back in early 2002 I was playing a few games on my PS2 when I played an old PS2 that had few new game in demo form and one of them was Ratchet and Clank with was the demo of Metropolis which was way cool. The city landscape and the train at the end of it. It was very cool. My favorite moment in the demo was the conversation between Ratchet, Clank and robot Qwark. Dear god, That still so funny 20 years later. Then around December of the same year I got Ratchet & Clank for the PS2. I loved playing it. It was an amazing platformer and shooter. I will be honest i never beat it like 100% But I did get far in it. I did complete it later on, I’ll get to that later.

Sp fast forward to say, I want to say 2006 or 07. My mom and I were looking at a GameStop in a city (I won’t give the name case like everybody else, I to be Anonymous with where I live) and at one point I saw a new game called Ratchet Deadlocked. Bear in mind I stopped playing R&C after a while so I never heard of Going Commando and Up Your Arsenal till much later. I played Deadlocked and I liked it. It was like a mix of Ratchet & Clank and Halo. Back when I was kid, I played the PS2 and a Halo theme original Xbox. So I’m both a R&C and Halo guy. No disrespect to Black Ops fans but I never grew up with these games. Much like Ratchet & Clank 2002. I played it for a while and then moved on from it. By the mid 2010’s I got out of console gaming in favor of PC gaming at the time I thought with PC you could play everything. Boy was 23 years old me was wrong.

That's one reason why I’m more a casual gamer and not a full on gamer, Because at this point in time I’m way behind on the times and I don’t have the money, interest or care to catch up. So I just stuck with a Gaming Laptop. Now every now and then I see R&C pop every now and then and it's great to see something from my early days of gaming still going strong.

So fast forward to early 2022 around the time the Covid sacmdemic starting to end (for some states) I came across a new game called Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart. Right when I saw that my spark for Ratchet & Clank fired back up. But it was around the time when console games became haft gaming consoles, Haft computers and became very very expensive. But around that time I watched a few videos about games play, R&C History, Pros and cons, Fan base and much more. It was around that time (and please don't be angry with me) I got that 2016 reimagining of R&C. And yes I've seen the movie and to me its ok it has its moments but it could have been better. Then it drive me to try and fine if R&C Rift Apart had a PC version witch as of this time doesn't (Yet as far as i know) Then I thought what if there was a way i could play the PS2 version of R&C and then that when I found PCSX2, It's a PS2 emulator program that allows you to play PS2 games on your PC.

At the present time I have Ratchet & Clank; (2002) (Going Commando) (Up Your Arsenal) and (Deadlocked) I just completed 2002 and boy it feels great to finally complete it after so long and then I’ll play the other 3 and see why fans love them so much. I don’t know if I’ll play the PS3 titles also known as the R&C Future Saga. But from what I heard it's mixed to say the least. I’ve only seen pits and bobs of it with characters like Azimuth and Ratchet's girlfriend Tawlyn. But I still need to learn more.

But I think I’ll leave it right there for now.
So that is my story of how a Lombax and robotic backpack became part of my life and left a big impact on me and it's great to be resonated with 2 old friends.

And what is your Ratchet & Clank story?

Who's your favorite character?

Did you discover R&C early or later down the road?

What game in R&C do you think is the best and worst of the series?

Whatever your story is let me know in the comments. I asked you all to be Civil, Respectful and keep an open mind. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I’m entitled to mine, You're entitled to yours.

So to rap this all up with a nice bow on top. Happy 2oth Birthday Ratchet and Clank. Here to more crazy space shooting and platforming madness in the future.

Lovely you mom <3

Well everypony its here.

A few days ago comes to trailer for My Little Pony: A New Generation (MLP Gen 5) And boy what can I say about?

Its new, Intersting and surprisingly not that bad. Now at first we all thought Gen 5 was going to be Gen 4 with redesign mean 6. But then it was rumored that possibly the Back ground six was going to get the spot light. (As much as I like that idea it wasn't to be)

Then along same 3 new ponys Sunny Star Scout, Izzy Moonbow and Pipp. A few more would follow but that a journal for another day.

Some have said that Gen 5 is the end of MLP or Gen 5 is hasbro making it hard for bronys. Now I can understand why they would think that. But like I said in on of my drawings. Its too soon to make a good judgment on it. I'm going to wait and give Gen 5 a chances. See if it will make or brake the brony fandom. I'm still open to see how Gen 5 dose. If its good great. if not Hasbro at leased tryed something different and to that I say Good for them.

Now do I think Gen 5 will be better then Friendship is magic no I don't. We will haft to wait and see what Gen 5 brings, I still like MLP Friendship is magic and I always will it was thanks to this show it open my eyes to being a fan of MLP. Not saying I was never a fan of MLP, But I never saw it talked about until Friendship is magic come out.

Now I'm not going to pretend that Friendship is magic is a masterpiece because it wasn't. But it was well made, Was confident and it had something for everyone/pony. Now I'm all for different takes one animated shows. Some of my favorite shows included shows like. Scooby Doo, Transformers, Sailor Moon and Loony Toons.

It just depends on what changes are made and if the benefit the story the setting and the Characters.

So what do I think from the Trailers. Well It looks to be its own show. I've always thought maybe it was going to be a continuation of FIM or it was going to be in its own universe with fIm easter eggs and references and well it looks like Gen 5 is going to be the later than the former.

As for positives and negatives.

I don't like the idea that ponys are divided. (agina depends on how its presented)
I do like the voices that the ponys are given but 2 kinda sound off, For me Lizzy sounds like she trying too hard to sound like Pinkie pie and Zipp voice doesn't fit him or her. No disrespect to the voice actor voicing Zipp but hey its early days.
I think they modernized Equastra a bit too much. Now I'm sure there doing to be pony spoofs of real life stuff. As long as they don't have do it I'll be ok with.

Now on a positive note.

The 3d Animation is really good, I like how they made ponys with fur and how the lighting and shadows case.
The new ponys have nice character designs. I thought they used the same eye shape but I can't really so.
I like how there pushing for more dark tones in the trailer. Hey if FIm can do it so can Gen 5.
The adventure shames promisingly good, Some say its just a copy and pastes of fim but agina its just a trailer we haft to wait and see.

So with that said. My thoughts are "This is going to be intersting" I still think FIm is fantastic and it always will be but I'm willing to Give Gen 5 a fair chances. I may or May not like it but we all will haft to wait and see.

So what do you guys think of MLP Gen 5 let me know in the comments of this journal.
(Pleases be kind and respectful of others and there thoughts)

If you like to see the trailer yourself here a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa_PRDVpjSk

And the new pony show will be airing on Netflix and no I'm not being payed to say this.

And I think that all for now. I look forward to herding what you guys thing. latter.

When I posted the pic titled (Ask Us answer beginning) It was ment as title for the questions that where answered. Sorry about that guys.

I was just looking around FA when all of the studently almost all of my drawings are covered with a thing saying.

"This video has been restricted, Streaming video from Cloudflares basic is a violation of teams of service."

Ok a few things.

1. Since when drawings/art is consider video's?

2. FA is a art site. Not a Streaming servies.

3. Is there something that happined behind are back's?

I'm confused and honestly worryed. I like to do know what going on. From what I've learned so far. FA is having an issue with Cloudflare delivering files. I don't what Cloudflare is but I just hope nothings wrong. case if it is. I'm worryed a lot of people (including me) are being scammed or being focused away agents are will.

Hey everypony, Its Michael aka Trainman3985 here.

Its late December and this shit year is almost over. Thank god it is almost over. Lets be honesty with each other. 2020 has been a very bad shit year. Thanks to the coronaviruses and varies other thing going on in the world right now. 2020 has not been a good year even when befor the viruses and lot of things haven't been positive (Well it true there have been some positives but not much) This shit your has really hurt a lot of people mentally and emotionally. It even damped my motivation I just really feel bad for people who hand to go throw this shit year.

But you know what they say "Where God closes a door, He opens a window" and you know what, I see the window and that is 2021. When Corona hit this year a lot of change has happined. But I see 2021 as the year to heal and reopen, In fact as of late, A coronavirus vaccine has been made and I know there some testing and stuff to do but I take it and 2021 to be step in the right way. I mean Public life (At east where I live) has retuned semi back to norm but We've got a ways to go to get back to life the way it used to be befor Corona come in. But hey its one small baby step and that good enought.

Now I said all the negative stuff out of the way so now Its time I talk about or positive stuff and future plans.

As previously said 2020 hasn't been a good year for motivation but I'm demarcated to 2021.

I plan to do more art of MLP Anthro ponys and EQG drawings too. As well as doing some more hot and busty sexy stuff as we continence are trip down the road. That one joy I have ever seen coming here to Furaffinity. I mean I enjoyed making art on DA back when it used to be friendly. But here I felt like I was one a site that was more open and friendly were people were allowed to be then selves and express them selves as well. Yes I was a little unsure at firend but now I don't regret ever joining FA. I've gain thousands of watchers, Started posting art others realy like. Recounted with some old friends, Made new ones and befriended so many wonderiful people a few have become my closes friends who still stick by me to this day.

I also have a plan to try and do somethings new things. I don't want say too much case I don't want to spoil anything for everypony. Plus I don't want to say what I'm going to do or I'll just procrastinate and put things on the back burner and I don't want that to happen agina.

But I can say Expect 2 new pictures to be posted later to night at 12AM US Pacific time (3AM US Eastern time = 1AM US Mountain Time = 2AM Central Time)

I also plan to try and do more videos on my YouTube Channel. Just in case some of you don't know I have a youtube Channel were I post videos about my hobby and passion to trains and railroads, I also like posting funny videos case I love making people laugh. I do try new things some work some don't but hey its part of being a youtuber, Seeing what works and doesn't work.

With all that said I think I've seen what I wanted to saw so I'll rap this up bye saying Thank you. Thank you everypony for being here with me and for joining me for this journey. It was thanks to you guys that I made such great memories and made it thought hard and dark times. You guys are just to best I don't know what I did to deserve such cool and Awesome people like you.

Good day to sleep in

Hi everpony. It's been a while since I did an update. Well giving that a few things have been going on and some new things are coming and well I just felt the need to wright about them and to let you guys know whats going on.

Few days ago I thought of trying something new and I got the idea of (Why not try doing Anthro pony's again) Now I will haft to give a little bit of history to explain this part. Back in i want to say 2014 I got inspired to do anthro pony art thanks to a few DA Artist that inspired me to It was like something new and interesting, My friends like them and my watchers like them too. Then around say.. I was to say march 2016 I started making EQG base drawings case at the time, I liked MLP/EQG vectors but at some point I said "If like to make something make it yourself" and I did. And to my surprise it worked.

But... Then came October when I was kicked off DA. That when I hit a struggle emotionally, I won't go into detail but lets just say from 2016 - 2018 I blamed my self for things that were not my fault and take me while to got out of that.

When I joined FA and started posting some old MLP art I made and some stuff some friends made for me and that I asked others they good good feed back but, Nothing really when far with it until I started posting My EQG vector style art and from then on it just boomed and a lot of people really liked them and I felt like I had regained motivation to make art again. Do I get tired of it nope, I still fine fun in it and that good right, Drawing what you like and not caring what haters and trolls think? Yeah I'm that way.

I did think of trying out new things but the most I did was my mean hobby and passion. Trains and they may not get all the views like my MLP/EQG art. But I've liked trains since I was a kid and I'll never stop. But any other thing just failed out or never when anywhere. I tryed to do something different but thanks to things being so routine it just was like everyday over and over, I just didn't had that spark that pushed me. But then fast forward to about 6 days ago. Me and my brother did an Rp set in an Anthro pony based world. It was so much fun that the spark had reignited and so I thought I should redo my anthro pony style to give it a fresh new start.


Witch also leads to something I just started too. As of late I started a Love Triangle Moon where I'm husband of Octavia Melody and Princess Luna. I still love Octavia she was my number one pony who I love and she always will be. Its just as of late thinks to many other things, I only just now started to have a crush and love for Princess Luna. Now I'm not going to lie I was worried about doing something like this. Plus I've heard Love Triangles are not the best will looked at (manly in real life.) But I wanted to try something different and so I did and thanks to some help from my friends. I know see that its ok to love more then one character. Plus this is fiction so anything goes and to my surprise, Doing anthro pony art again as well as Me having Octavia and Luna as lovers.

The respiration was overwhelmingly Positive and that encourage me to do more. Now dose this mean I'm done with EQG? Nope those are not going anywhere. Plus my Human self with my pony lovers Its in a different/universe. I once did try to think of a way for it to work in EQG and the art I do of it. But nothing really worked plus there was some morel feelings that tolled me it was wrong I mean. A young teen/Adult in love with adult older then him. That just didn't sound right to me. But thanks to the RP I'm doing with my brother It gave me an idea to make it work and inspired in part by some MLP Fan fiction I've seen dubs of on youtube.

The last thing I will also take about is the lake up or no pictures of my OC Tatyana. Well few days ago a friend of mine who i will leave nameless here. Talked about how he did Nazi and Solvet art, Not for fallow the groups but more for history inspiration. He along with a game I liked inspired me to make Tatyana. Well he got suspend from FA for a few days due to FA's views on hate art and groups So he said he was going to remove all art with Nazi and Solvet stuff in them. Now I never made any art like that and I was sure Tatyana wasn't bad. But I just didn't want to rise it so I removed all pics of her so that way I be in FA's Good books as well. I may bring her back at some point or i'll haft to redo her I'll haft to wait and see.

I know a lot of you wont be happy about that and trust me I didn't want to do it ether but I just didn't want to rise it, I hope you guys understand. I think that all I wanted to say, I know maybe I shouldn't worry about informing much. But you guys helped me throw so much and it was thanks to you guys i was able to keep going so i felt you deserved to know as well.

I hope you guys look forward to the new stuff i have planed for MLP, EQG, Trains, Anthro and some other things too.
I hope this bit of a change was too much to take in and If Loving more then one pony brings me a ton of haters tolls hate comments and slang saying i'm how I'm in the wrong then so be it. But I'm not sorry for trying something new.

Well I think that everything so thanks for reading and see ya next time.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day with your friends and family.

Hope everyone is having a great family day.

Welp there nothing really to say. Its been along time coming. My Little pony, Friendship is magic is now done airing on tv to make way for more MLP shows and new generations.

Sure there will be many takes of MLP. But I think Friendship is magic will stand the test of time.

I haft to amendment something. It's been a while since I last watch the show i haven't see some of the show since... I want to say season 6 i want to say and most of the stuff from seasons 7 8 and 9 I've seen bits of it here on FA and youtube.

But I will say from what I've seen the show really keeps me interested and amazed. The end was so beautiful I cried at the end of the last episode. So with the show over dose this mean I'm done with MLP?

Honestly No, The show maybe over but the fandom is still going on. I look forward to see what the MLP bring to the table here on out.

Kine a friendly bear said: Goodbye Goodbye dear friends goodbye, cause now its time to go, But hey I say well that ok, Cause will see you very soon I know.

Hey guys, something happened and I just have to leave. For the safety of others..

Something happened on my twitter. Long story short.


15 minutes ago (ruffly) I was just looking at some post and tweets then I got a massage from a friend of mine (I will keep him nameless) that had a link in it. I was shore what it was. Thinking if as something like a big fallowing for tweet i checked it wondering what it was then nothing happened.

After that I just logged off not thinking much about it. well few minutes later I looked again when I saw 12 more massages, They were links that I didn't even looked at and didn't mean think of sending to anyone. I soon came to the realized my twitter was hacked. So to prevent the link from spreading. I deactivated it.

I later found out from a friend on discord that this wasn't the first time this kinda thing happened. So now I'm no longer on Twitter. I don't plain on going back any time soon...

Besides doesn't help that I've been having some bad luck as of late... I'm wondering if this is a sigh that the world hates me.

Lately I've noted there has been pictures I've posted that were removed from there folders I grouped them into. I haft to go thought all of them to get them all back in there proper folder. Now some if not a few of them have not be affected, But something is casing that to happen I don't know what it is. This is my second time noticing and I wondering has anyone else been seeing this type of bug?

So I've been doing some thinking as of late. I was thinking about Furry's and what it means to be one an when you join this site. Dose it make you a furry?

Well it was really a nice kind chat with 1 of my friends on Skype whos is a furry and well it kinda get me thinking about something. Asking myself the question, "Am I a furry?"

So I thought I talk about it and given a as honest answer as I can.

Even my friend who I talked with asked me "Hey Mike are you a furry?" And well to be honest. No. I really don't see myself as a furry.

The main reason why I'm here on furaffinity is to have more freedom. Let me explain. In many ways furaffinity is along like deviantart.

Its a site were you post what you like.
Make friends.
Free to talk about anything you want.
And have something to express yourself.

But there are 3 in my eyes that make furaffinity. better then deviantart.
1. It's not PC
2. You have much more Freedom in what you want to draw.
3. If they one whos a bully and tolls others are on here they get the boot.

Deviantart use to be a site I can trust and it was funny back when I joined back in 2011/12. But now days they just... I don't trust DA anymore. You guys can have your own view and say when DA started going down hill. But for me DA started going down hill around 2015-16.

To be honest maybe I should have been more careful of what I posted with I got my fat woman and Large Breast Fetish Like maybe put up warnings witch for some stuff I put 18+ in the title. But I digress.

I'm really here to be much like what I just listed few typed lines ago. Plus giving some things I here furrys do. I just can't see myself as Furry. A good example I heard of was a Furry con called "Rainfurrest 2015" I won't go into detail but lets just say what I heard and what I saw (It was a youtube video, The how I learned about it) Give the thing somethings i have heard. I just conscious and morally don't see my doing that kinda think.

Now I don't want you guys to think that I'm saying all furry's are like that. No fair from it, I don't think like that at all. If I said all furrys are like that then I be in trouble. Plus I'm friends with a lot of furrys and they are some of the nicest people I've meet. So I be wrong in saying all furry's were like that.

So in the end, I don't have any problems with furrys, But I just don't see myself as a Furry.

Now you can decide for yourself on how you want to see this. Please don't take this as an attack on anyone. I do not blame anyone and I'm not trying to start a fight with anyone. This was just something I wanted to say and kind talk about to get something on my mind off.

As everyone may know. The Cathedral in Notre-Dame, Paris France caught fire today and has left many people both shocked. A few Fireman who were freighting the fire were injured but thankfully no one was killed.

My thoughts and prayers go out to France and her people.

Today I just reached 500 Subscribers on my YouTube Channel. So I'm doing a Q&A to Celebrate.

Watch the video first pleases:

I was watching some videos on youtube when All of a sudden somethings just it do work and youtube looks like its well a bar site.
