A message from a human who is not Sweetie Belle

Sweetie didn’t want to say anything about it. She felt too bad. I’m not too happy about it either, but it needs to be said and finally gotten over with.

This blog, as some of you have acknowledged, is rarely updated. I refuse to believe it has “died,” but it doesn’t update much and - being Sweetie’s manager - I get tired of having the stress related to it nagging at the back of my head. Sweetie and I both thank you for all the death threats kind suggestions to formally end the blog. A sarcastic thank you, but a thank you nonetheless.

I suppose this is a roundabout way of saying it, but yes, this blog is formally on “hiatus.” I cannot say “it’s gone forever, never to return.” I can, however, say I’m no longer considering updating it. Both Sweetie and I have busy lives. Both of us are going through changes in school and location and family matters. We’ve gained new friends both in real life and on the internet. So, thank you all, but neither one of us simply has the time to run the blog.

Moreover, I’m just not willing anymore. I don’t get ideas for things Sweetie could post to entertain each of you. when I do get ideas, she feels like they’re outside of her artistic ability. I trust her judgement and wouldn’t push her to do something which makes her more uncomfortable than happy. I don’t think anyone should expect that from her.

I know she’s really happy lately. She’s made new friends and reunited with old ones. Her parents came back to town after years of being away for a reason Sweetie didn’t choose to tell me. Apparently, though, she was just being melodramatic about the mystery of her parents’ past. That silly filly. Her parents are real nice ponies, so I’ve heard, but they might not be able to stay for too long. Last I heard, Sweetie and Lyra will still be staying together for the most part. I honestly think that’s best for her, but it’s great that she and Rarity are going to stay a lot more in touch. I couldn’t be happier about that.

Wow, wall of text, huh? I suppose if there’s anything I’d like you to take away from reading this pile of letters, it’s that I thank you for sticking through and supporting her despite a lot of tough and rough times. It’s been a very, very bumpy ride. Though, in the end, I think it was really good for her… and me too. The blog might return during the Summer, or whenever she gets bored and wants to make it, but please don’t expect anything.

Thanks… thanks, everypony. Everypony, I mean it, even the anons who said those horrible unspeakable things. Actually, no, I’m not thanking you guys. Screw you guys. Get a freaking job. Alright, bye.
