Do you work on multiple updates at a time? Do they fight against one another for your favor?
Not usually. I’ll usually only do one panel at a time and work it to completion before moving on to the next. Same goes for updates, which is why most of my blogs are pretty inconsistent.

Feeling sick and unmotivated to be productive….Please ask ANYTHING while I try to fix my body with rest and relaxation.

If something has flaws, it has flaws. It doesn’t matter when it came out. The only difference between looking at something during release and finding flaws, and looking at something years later and finding flaws is that you have a wider variety of things to compare it to.
This is true for art, books, movies and video games. Just because you love something doesn’t mean it’s free of flaws, and just because someone’s pointing them out doesn’t mean that they’re only comparing what you love to something that came out later.
A flaw is a flaw, even if you don’t notice it at first. -
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.
Current case-in-point, I’ve started playing through Halo CE in the Master Chief Collection. Not only is the game rage-inducing, but there are a LOT of poor choices and issues with the base game that are often overlooked and/or ignored by those nostalgic for the game.

Pssst, I may have opened up a skype chat/RP group for Fleur de Lait’s ice cream parlor. All manner of changes are possible, applications for work are available, and if you want to join up just ask me.

I feel so unmotivated to be productive that it hurts. YAY!

I’ve reached that point in the day where I want to do things, but I don’t want to do things, but I want to do things, but I don’t know what I want to do……

I think your insights are really interesting, even though I don't always agree with them.

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.

Promote a Pony and Promotions
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.
