The Standing of Things

   I know, I originally intended to separate the ponysona from the ponysoul (ie. the writer), on this blog, but I'm finding that to be most arduous.  I have therefore, at the suggestion of my friends, made one of those Tumblr thingies to express the ponysona of Moonlight and will keep my ponysoul here.  I think it will be less confusing, especially for myself.

     A lot has happened in the last month, in my pony-filled universe.

     First and foremost, I expanded my relationship with the brony community on a far more personal level.  I started hanging out on EqD's IRC channels.  This turned out to yield a bunch of interesting results; not the least of which being that I made a lot of new friends.  I enjoyed my nightly visits to the channels, sharing in stories, art, music, and my love for FiM and its community.  It always cheered me up to watch the latest antics of those crazy bronies, doing whatever, and those even crazier admins doing their thing.  Some of them, I look forward to seeing every day.

     The tangent I go into next is relevant, however I've given very careful thought to how I word the next two paragraphs, because I don't want to come off as some kind of creep or love-starved fool.

     A few weeks ago, my stars crossed paths with a certain cuddly, glasses-wearing princess of the night.  It would have been an incidental evening, save for the fact that her affection toward me is still very much alive and well, today.  (I'm going to interject this tangent-ception to add to the list, one more thing I've started doing again, thanks to my new friends:  genuine role playing - something I haven't done in forever!)  Now, what I ever did to earn her affection, let alone her attention, is beyond me.  I don't deny, however, that I enjoy and reciprocate it.  I'm a bard.  We thrive on this stuff.  That's just the root of this tale, however.  Through her, I became part of what I can only describe as intimate circle of friends; her shy, yet equally affectionate lover, the ever loyal and caring ponydroid, and a few other wayward hearts.  We're like one big cuddly family.  I'm unsure how to play part of this out.  See, Moonlight's a bard, a wanderer.  It's part of his ponysona.  Sooner than later, he's going to be wandering the countryside again.  That will mean extended times when I'm not there.  Still, it's nice to have a place to call home.  (She gave me my own room.)

     I cannot express strongly enough how much my spirit enjoys being in the company of these ponies, especially her.  Her very aura commands admiration and adoration.  Maybe that's the princess in her, I don't know.  I could have the worst day ever and she can turn the whole thing around with a "Hi" and a hug.  That's a magical empathy!  I think I would like to meet her ponysoul one day.  I bet she's an amazing individual.

     So, yeah.  Sappy moment: over.  Recently, all the emotions and creative stimulation I've received, has burgeoned into a large force of inspiration.  I have been writing more, singing more, and I even started making bits of artwork that actually satisfy my personal criticism.  I'm most pleased with the direction this is taking me artistically.  Like I said earlier, I'm now creating a Tumblr.  I have a Deviantart page that I'm driving myself to make things for.  I joined a state brony group, which I'm active in, and I'm even starting to compile my first fan-fic.  I've been shared so much, from this fandom and I mean to give back.  This whole Pony thing has brought such joy to my life, and I owe it all to my new friends and the community we share.


     Thank you: HipsterLuna, Fluttershi, and PrimalMoon!  You have rekindled my soul's fire.
