Facing one's mortality

Sat May 18, 2013, 4:24 PM
Over the last year, my health has deteriorated. Starting work in the city has highlighted just how bad it really has become. I cannot breathe properly anymore. If the air quality is poor, I cannot breathe at all. I persistently cough up mucus and phlegm.
I have been taking tests typically intended for 80 year olds with heart failure. Everyone who has seen me has remarked how young I am, how unusual my case is and that these tests are not intended for someone my age. I don't know exactly what to make of this, and I'm not sure I want to know. I don't yet have a diagnosis, but I don't think the outlook is good.

I picked up a respiratory infection a fortnight ago. Given that I cannot breathe properly in normal circumstances, you can probably guess how that turned out. Fortunately, I'm back home and I have mostly recovered now. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't afraid. I'm not sure anyone picked up on it, but the name of the images "Love is Eternal" had a far deeper meaning than just sounding cool (in my opinion anyway). I feared that they may be the last things I'd ever post - if I were even given that opportunity in the first place. I was saving Princess Coronation for the start of season 4, but like before, I didn't want to take the risk it might be lost forever.

This week, we found out that my grandmother's throat cancer had returned. It is terminal and inoperable. She will die from this. My uncle was diagnosed with lung cancer. It is terminal and inoperable. He will die from it. I have the same symptoms that they do.

It's just not worth it. All the arguments, fighting, everything bad that happened... it's just not worth getting involved in. If my time on this planet is coming to an end, I'm not wasting any more time dealing with such things. Most of you are probably here because you like happy princesses / alicorns / royalty. I do too. Drawing them makes me happy.  Per yesterday's poll: if you guys want me to put back the traces / vectors, I will. Because in the grand scheme of it all, the things that caused me to remove them just don't matter anymore. If I lose my life, I don't want what I've done to be lost with me.

NightmareMoonS:
I am not NightmareMoonS. I only posted some of his works on his behalf after he left deviantART. If you want to find him, you should go to =RainbowDashie. (And you should go and watch him regardless.)
That should be obvious from the fact that one of prefers TwiLuna (the correct blue pony) and one of us prefers TwiDash (the incorrect blue pony). :)
I wish I was NightmareMoonS, so I could have his artistic talent and speed. There are so many things I wish I could do that exist only in my imagination because I cannot draw them.

Poll results: Do Celestia and Luna have lovers?
22% of respondents said "Yes - Cadance and Blueblood came from somewhere." Factually and biologically, this assumption is incorrect (sorry). Celestia is referred to as Cadance's and Blueblood's aunt (or rather, they're referred to as Celestia's niece and nephew, respectively.) Luna is not the mother of these ponies as she was on the moon. Lauren Faust has stated that Celestia and Luna have no siblings and have no children. Hence Cadance and Blueblood are not related to Celestia or Luna by blood and the title "aunt" is only honorific and does not reflect a biological relation as we commonly know it.
The answer "No - as goddesses they must remain above such things" largely meant "They need to remain virginal", but I couldn't think of a more appropriate way to put it. Personally, I think that as ponies, they would fall in love with other ponies. But since being in love and making love are two different things, I'm still undecided as to whether they engage in the latter.

Poll results: Do you look at Equestria Daily?
This was for my own curiosity. It seemed I was the only person I knew that still looked at EqD, so I was wondering if there was a general trend. In my opinion, the site is not what it used to be compared to this time last year. I don't have the same interest in it as I used to.

Poll results: Which best describes Luna's / Nightmare's banishment?
Personally, I think it was a case of "Here today, gone tomorrow." Celestia wouldn't let any threat to Equestria remain any longer than necessary. But as =joeyh3 pointed out, the book Twilight is reading has an accurate depiction of Nightmare, especially considering a millenium has passed. There would probably have to be witnesses to Nightmare, as I don't think Celestia would want to recount the event.
There is however one more explanation I thought of... but I'll save that for a later date.

Have a good one, everyone.

I draw the alicorns and the princesses. But that should be obvious.

Are you, by any chance =NightmareMoonS?

Nope. NightmareMoonS is a friend. If you're looking for him, check =RainbowDashie.

Ah, wasn't sure. Some comments say this is the new account, some say it's you. So I guess it's you (kinda makes sense, same avatar and stuff).

Excuse me, but can you tell me how I can make some MLP stuff like this?

I mean, I already made one version of myself from Pony Creator, but I wanna make mine a little larger, like yours.
