    The webcomic Homestuck has been a part of my life in varying degrees for five years. Ever since 2011 when I got really into it, the comic and fandom have taken a major part in shaping who and what I am.
     
    And now it's about to end. The most massive and awe-inspiring Internet media thing I've ever come across... is going to finish. I can scarcely comprehend the idea. Even though the plot lost me long ago, even though the humor has scarcely been to my sense, I'm going to miss it. I'm going to miss having that comic hanging around in the back of my mind, regularly reminding me I should have kept up.
     
    I feel like I should do something. I feel like I NEED to do something. Some kind of farewell project. Some kind of tribute to something that's been such a big part of my life for so many years.
     
    I'm not an artist, a musician, a craftsperson, anything like that though. I don't have any creative talents to speak of, the only thing I have going for me is ideas, and seemingly an ability to pull people together sometimes.
     
    The only thing I can think of to try and do is something I've been trying to to FOR the five years I've been into Homestuck: A fansession. A big RP group, putting together and going through a proper formal SBURB/SGRUB session from start to finish.
     
    But at this point in my life, I have no idea how to find enough people anymore. My last few attempts have all been stillborn, never ever found enough participants.

    Oh yeah. I finally did it! After a day or so of getting involved in this forum I've come up with my first pony character!!
     
    I didn't feel comfortable enough to make some sort of pony with massive amounts of magical/political power, or anyone famous, so I just made a measly little craftsman!
     
    The idea came to me to make an underground pony, because that's pretty neat! Can't imagine there's too many of them. And while at first I was going to make an underground architect ( because cave cities are awesome ), I instead switched to a simpler idea!
     
    I got the idea of a family pretty similar to the Apple family, except underground. And instead of apples, mushrooms! Mushrooms of all shapes and sizes that they cultivate and harvest, primarily for food or mixing up into medicine. I also figured it'd be amusing to make them unicorns, because farmer unicorns! That's neat.
     
    So in the end I have Lamlplight. A unicorn stallion who's broken away from his family's tradition of harvesting mushrooms for food and medicine, and has become a furniture craftsman! Harvest giant mushrooms, and then carve furniture out of them! Soft but sturdy tables, chairs, shelving, anything that anypony could want!
     
    He's opened up his own furniture shop in a cave mouth somewhere not too far from Ponyville , and he sends word along with ponies that come to buy from the rest of his family to tell ponies all throughout Equestria about his furniture shop.
     
    I like this idea. I think it's a good first OC idea.

    First blog entry

    By Trenchpunk,

    So, first blog entry? First blog entry.
     
    I came to these forums to get a fresh start. To wipe my slate clean, make new friends, perhaps kind of reinvent myself.
     
    I'm not... running away from anything in particular? I've just come to feel like I've built up too much baggage and continuity over the years, and it's starting to weigh down on me. I just needed to start clean and fresh. Getting involved in a new community I didn't have any friends in was the best way to do so!
     
    I'm already starting to settle into the forums nicely, even if I've yet to find my niche. It's nice to have been so welcomed, and it makes me feel good to jump in and welcome other new people.
     
    I do have some reservations, still. I've never been the most character or story-focused person, mostly due to an inability to empathize. Which I've been told time and time again tends to come with the territory of being autistic. And so, seeing all this in-depth character/story analysis is kind of intimidating? I know a lot of people are here for the characters. But on the other hand, we DO all have an enjoyment of FiM in common so I doubt there's going to be too much friction, so long as I just keep my head clear of character and plotline analysis stuff!
     
    So.. yeah. I'm here for a new start with my e-life, and I definitely think I've found it!
