Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday, despite my claim to be gone forever. As I said, it's all of you that I do this for, and it's all of you that make it worthwhile. And since you were all kind enough to do that, here's a present for you: It's going to be different. It's not going to be like what came before, and it's not going to be what you expect from me, and it's not going to be what you're watching me for. But, if I can say so myself, it's going to be magnificent. You have no idea what's coming. Wait for 2020.

I'm sorry.   First off, I know the show staff has been getting a lot of toxic bullshit over the leak of the remaining episodes. I absolutely abhor that, and I want no part of it. Everyone making the show has all my love. That said... I've heard what happens in the finale, and... it's just terrible. It's bad. It's so bad, well, it's killed all my interest in the show. And with no interest in the show, I have no interest in drawing ponies. None. My muse is gone. I could force my way through the rest of the season, but I wouldn't enjoy it, and I doubt any of you would either. Best to just end it now. Thank you for all the follows, watches, u

Time for my once-a-year journal post: Thanks to everyone for wishing me a happy birthday!

You can tell how much I post journals here when my last one was this exact message on my last birthday. Nevertheless, thank you to everyone who took time to wish me a happy birthday!

It was really great to see so many people wishing me a happy birthday. Seriously, I think I got three times as many this year as I did last year. Which, of course, might have something to do with my just having completed another season of comics and all the extra followers that brings. In any case, again, thank you all for wishing me a happy birthday, and I hope all yours are happy too!
