Fantastic! So long as I’m making my points known and at least making an attempt to rationalize them well then I’m doing my job. If everyone agreed with everything that I said then life would be boring.
A few of you may have noticed that we no longer promote as often as we should. There really is a very good reason for this.
We’re out of promotions and we have been out of promotions for several months now. We’ve been running on fumes since long before christmas.
While we can manage this for a while ( you may have noticed that quite a few promotions are submitted by ‘Mod’, which is us ) we are actually running out of viable candidates ourselves. Which gives us a problem.
We can, and we have, read new blogs start to finish to find something new to promote, but it is rather detrimental to enjoyment when you are reading a blog not to enjoy it, but because you have to - not to mention that it takes quite a while sometimes. We have a list of blogs we can read, but it is starting to be a horrible chore.
While yes, our Self Promotion Weeks have been a relief to this ( in fact we have a few promotions which we will be publishing next week ) they are also running out.
Simply put, Promote a Pony is more or less entirely out of promotions. We don’t really have anything to promote. The few promotions that come in are usually published the same day.
To try and keep up regularity rather than the choppy updates we’ve had for a while, we will be drawing down the pace of promotions to once a day for now.
What can you do to help this? If you have someone you can promote, promote them! (guidelines for promoting) If you don’t, and not everyone does, boosting this message is another good way to reach a new audience with promotions they want done.
Thank you for your time and thank you for your continued support.

PROMOTE THE BLOGS YOU LOVE!! Even if a blog only has a few posts, send in a promotion to encourage its growth. Even if a blog has been going forever and has slowed down, send in a promotion to show its creator how much you love their work. The greatest thing you can do for an artist is to show your support for what they do.
PROMOTE THE CRAP OUT OF THE BLOGS YOU LOVE!
This is how you kill depth in a character.
Whether a show is meant to be simple or complex, there’s no real excuse for removing SO MUCH from the characters when translating one show into another. Teen Titans GO! is shown to be a follow up series to Teen Titans, and makes reference to that more than once, so the loss of character, depth, defining characteristics, features, and everything that actually makes a character good or memorable is inexcusable. This progression is like removing someone’s frontal cortex and most of what’s left of their left hemisphere. They might still function to some degree, but it is a sad, pale imitation of something that was whole and great.

I seem to have messed up my right wrist. That’s not good. Hopefully it heals quickly and it doesn’t hurt to move soon, or working on stuff the next couple days won’t be fun.
Also, ask me anything!
this dipshit wasted 8 bottles of coke for this stupid 6 second video
He achieved human flight via soda rockets attached to his feet. I think that’s worth like… $25.
6 seconds of sustained flight and a clean (figuratively speaking) landing for less than $20. I’d consider that a win.

I’m off work for the next couple days, and you know what that means? Commission and update work, yay!
There are times with game reviews and reviewers that I wonder how they would review games now considered infallible classics if they had no nostalgia for said games, or prior experience with them whatsoever.
Chandelure: Believe in ghosts?
Kind of. When I was younger and spending the night at a friend’s house I woke up in the middle of the night to see a pale figure standing over me and looking down, which was very worrying as my friend and his family had immigrated from Nigeria. Looking back on it it may have been a trick of the late night and the moonlight coming through the window, but it freaked me out for a long time.
Elgyem: Believe in aliens?
I think it’s rather presumptuous to not believe in alien life. Even if no species has managed interstellar or intergalactic travel, the idea that of the trillions of planets orbiting billions of stars within only a few billion lightyears of Earth don’t have any life on them is really arrogant to me. The idea that only Earth contains life is an idea that I find frankly stupid, and somewhat terrifying.
