Status Updates posted by Treeglow Flicker

It turns out that I was one of Santa's workshop elves.
-
It's been a while since I last made a status update. It's been a pretty busy month for me, but in a good way. But I just wanted to say a quick hello to anypony or creature that happens to stop by on this message. I hope you are all doing fantastic.

Did you know that when shoes die that they actually go to Heaven? It turns out that shoes have soles.

@Treeglow Flicker @Planeswalker Silky
Why are sneakers the rudest shoe? They're always sticking their tongues out. WAKKA! WAKKA!

Okay. I made a pretty big promise to myself a little earlier in relation to something that I took as a big sign.
Really really wish this was a happy full of cheer status update.
I just fought off a panic attack that lasted a good couple of hours. I'm alright now, but it kind of once again highlighted a fear and vulnerability I have. A really serious one. The same sort of thing happened a couple of years ago under a worse circumstances. Luckily it wasn't anything on that sort of level this time. But all the same, it's something about myself that I really do need to address and talk about. For my own good. But properly and definitely not in the space of a status update. Sorry if it sounds a little worrying. It's just been something I have been dealing with for a lot of years and I don't think it's a good idea to keep it to myself anymore.
But all that being said. It's nothing to worry about in any sort of morbid or harmful sense. It's just, that I really REALLY need someone to listen and hear me. I'm not looking for advice or anything like that. I just need someone to listen to and acknowledge what I've been going through.
I kind of have hestitation and regrets writing this. But I'm pushing that Submit Status button because it's stupid to keep fighting alone and being shut away without anyone realising. I know I don't like talking about these sorts of things about myself and that I want people to just see the happy me. But I have to do this just in case everything does disappear and I never get the chance to tell anyone.
All this from just a sudden stupid loss of an internet connection earlier tonight...
-
@Treeglow Flicker I'm SO SORRY you're going through this, Bestie. I hope you feel better soon.
-
@Sparklefan1234 I will. It's just something that kind of spooks me a lot.
Still need to figure out a way to best talk about it all. But I'll think of something.

New Avatar!
Well. I finally did it. New avatar after all this time.
I started work on it shortly after I retired the juice box animated one.
Thought I'd post the unshrunken version here to share with everypony.
-
"For the backwash and juice had to eventually run out"
Well. I've set up a temporary avatar until I can draw my new one. Until then, hats off for the juice box and remember the good times.
-
Well. Definitely time to create that new avatar I've been meaning to do for since forever.
Today I only just learned that animated avatars were supposed to be a subscriber perk. So I'm guessing it must have been something that came into effect long after my avatar started drinking that now backwash filled juice carton. And to think that it would last after all this time is something of an achievement.
Anyway. My avatar must have slipped through the net unintentionally when the subscriber perk thing became a thing.
And seeing as I am a Kirin of Applejack honesty, it wouldn't be right to possess a perk I should not actually have. No ifs and no buts.
Hence I shall be getting to work on a long overdue new avatar and the current one shall be kept elsewhere for historical posterity.
Sure I could have a still version of it. But it just wouldn't be the same. Plus, Treeglow has gone through some character redesign since I last drew and animated that avatar.
-
It's been really hot my end today.
My summer dresses felt too clingy and I don't exactly have anything loose fitting clothing wise. Only thing that's kept me cool is my Japanese school sailor uniform. All I need now is a talking cat, a magical talisman of some description, a magic phrase and I too can be a magical girl that fights evil.

Saw this and thought of you, bestie.

Just suddenly thinking about something.
There's a particular forum feature I would really love to have.
Now I admit that I can be a bit of a potty mouth online and the one thing I do try and be is careful around here with my language. And to be absolutely honest with myself, that doesn't always go according to plan. Kind of surprised that I haven't been called out for it by moderation for it in the past. Who knows? Maybe I am more controlled than I think.
Anyway. To the point of a personal forum feature that I would love.
Whenever I unintentionally type a curse/swear word, it automatically converts it to say "squee".

@Samurai Equine I'm curious what it would have done if you wrote it in kana. Would it have picked up that "shi" and "te" are different characters. Surely it would. But the thought of the algorithm having a mental break down over it would be hilarious.
-
@Samurai Equine The character minimum counter hardly works and you want to add a swear counter to it? You want to make users' devices overheat?
Seriously though, that probably would be possible, but I doubt it would be a good idea. A swear counter could incorrectly imply, that swearing is totally allowed as long as the counter lets you post. In reality, swearing is frowned upon, but occasionally doing so within reason is not the end of the world. Besides, swearing on purpose, once in every single post would be something I'd personally deem too much, and that counter wouldn't stop such users from doing so, even if the limit would be set to only one.
If not that, users could bypass that limit through multi-posting.
In the end swearing kind of falls under quality of content, and it's hard to measure it in numbers.

In regards to kana, I doubt it would pick it up, or at least in this software. I could check that...
-
No idea, but I doubt it would have. And we'll never know because I forgot the name of the domain/provider. Even if I could remember, there is a chance that it's no longer operational by now.
So the devices are at risk? I think I know just the fix!
But yeah, I suppose you are right. It's more for human review than automated review.

Today I learned how to fix clothing zippers! Super easy!

Sat down on the toilet a few moments ago and was greeted by a giant fuck off big spider.

@Samurai Equine (counters with Sailor qualification) It's expected of us.
Although, I'm not an ACTUAL sailor. I once did a Sailor Mercury cosplay though. So that counts in my experience. Everybody knows that she probably swears up a storm behind the scenes. Always the quiet ones. I know that very well considering that I AM one of the quiet ones.
Out in public? I hold the grace and dignity of Princess Celestia. Online and in private? Potty mouth engaged!
-
I was thinking of the sailor guardians before you even mentioned Mercury. Great minds!
-
Joyous day of your birth to you!
Have some muffins. They come with a free basket.

@Yun Maybe...

You know.
It really makes me wonder sometimes why scam artists do what they do. Sure they do it for the money. But what I don't get is how anyone can easily throw away their virtues and morals for it. Such actions have a price at the end of the day and it is never a pretty one. Such stupidity only invites tortured karma further down the road they walk.
I had one try their luck with me on Discord earlier tonight. They lost before they even typed their first word. Although, I did give them the chance with the usual opening pleasantries of greeting and asking how they were. I hope they reflect on their failure and look towards a more honest means of living.
It kind of leaves me with an empty feeling dealing with dishonest folks like that.

To quote "Money Game Part 2" by Ren:
"Swallow all your morals, they're a poor man's quality."
At some point, many believe that if you want to get rich, you have to leave behind your virtues and do whatever it takes (provided it's just enough to stay under the radar of the law), that there is no other way. You might get pretty far being virtuous, but you'll eventually hit a plateau where you must decide what's more important. Some people find this out the hard way, some don't even think twice of abandoning their morals once they see the potential for easy money or profit.
I don't agree with that idea. I am not sure I am one to ask about it, since I'm not rich, but I want to believe there is better ways to become wealthy. Either way, I am sorry the scammers came for you, my friend. You did good by staying strong.
If you ever need a friend, I'm always here for you.

I had a new MIDI keyboard for my computer delivered this afternoon. My music composing fun has now been doubled!

Dumb stomach woke me up at 2:30am to vomit.

@Samurai Equine Nah. Combination of hot weather and sleeping on my stomach weird.
-
Ah. Well I hope you feel better soon.

@Samurai Equine Just the 'joy' of the 24 hour lingering taste of my own stomach acids to worry about.

I've just put out my rubbish bin for collection tomorrow morning and discovered a beeping noise coming from my neighbour's bin.

Yeah. I think they must have thrown out some sort of battery operated alarm clock. Or something like that. Whatever the case, I moved my bin away from theirs. Don't want the collectors to think it's coming from my bin.
What a clever way to remind your neighbor to take out their trash.

There are moments when playing a video game that you've been wanting to play for years that you randomly encounter the greatest piece of Shakespeare that almost makes you spit your tea out with laughter. Literally had to shield my mouth and try and get my laughter under control enough to swallow.
This game has been everything that I have hoped and more.

This is your birthday song!
It isn't very long!

Anyways. Jubilant day of birth to you!
