MLP:FIM Ships I Appreciate

• Fluttershy x Discord (literally my go-to when I'm in the mood for romance fanfics)
• Pinkie Pie x Twilight Sparkle
• Rainbow Dash x Twilight Sparkle
• Rainbow Dash x Twilight Sparkle x Pinkie Pie
• The CMC but polyamorous
• Applejack x Rainbow Dash when it's written well (when written well I find it so adorable)
• Rarity x Applejack but only when it's written really well
• Cozy Glow x therapy
• Cozy Glow x a proper backstory
• Sunset Shimmer x Twilight Sparkle (whether it's the EQG Twilight, the pony one, or both)

Favorite Aesthetics

• Pastel
• Pastel Kidcore
• Yume Kawaii
• Sweet Lolita (referring to the fashion style, not the book)
• Pastel Acadamia
• Chaotic Academia (I think it would be even better if mixed with pastel academia for a sorta chaotic pastel look)

Minecraft Textures I Really Appreciate

• Sponge (the one before the 1.14 texture)
• Stripped birch log and birch planks
• Jukebox
• Cookie item texture
• Cake item texture (all versions but especially the old one because that one's nostalgic for me)

TOH Characters I Really Really Like

• Hunter
• King
• The Collector

Things That Help

• Having something to look forward to even if it's small.
• Focusing on the things, people, and creatures you're thankful for.
• Taking a nice warm bath or shower if you're able.
• Reading something that makes you happy whether it's a traditional book or a fanfic.
• Picking back up hobbies and things that used to make you happy and seeing if they still spark joy.
• Doing things that you know relax you (for me that's sorting things and making lists!)

My Favorite Software (with reasons and in no particular order)

Obsidian

It's a note-taking software with plugins and ways of linking notes together! I mainly love it because there are so many community plugins you can use to expand the purposes of it. For example, if you want your Obsidian setup to be like a writing application you like, there are tons of plugins you can use to add the features you want! I personally don't have many plugins on my main vault, but I've heard some of the stuff you can do with them is pretty crazy.

Freetube

Helps you watch Youtube videos in a safer way. With Youtube's recent age verification stuff (where it uses AI, ya know that thing that often messes up, to check your history to see if you're underage and if it says you are ya have to show them your ID) Freetube is even more useful because you can use it to watch videos without Youtube logging your history. Your Youtube account isn't even connected to it, so it'd be impossible for them to do that.

The only major flaw I've found is that currently (as of August 17th, 2025) you can't download your Youtube playlists and put them on Freetube. My solution to that is that I set the Youtube playlists I want as unlisted and open the links in Freetube.

Krita

My favorite digital drawing application and it's free too! Not much to say about this except it just works.

VSCodium

The code editor I use. It's an open source version of Visual Studio Code and it has most of the extensions that it has I'm pretty sure. My favorite feature on it is that when I type in an html tag it auto-completes the end tag.

LibreOffice

I've mostly used LibreOffice writer. I definitely recommend LibreOffice as an alternative to Microsoft and Google's stuff because it has so many features and at the same time it's free and open source. It's even backed by a non-profit organization so ya know they probably aren't gonna do anything sketchy.

Prism Launcher

An alternate Minecraft launcher where you can have multiple instances. This means that if you use mods you don't gotta switch out the mods in your mods folder for the current ones you wanna use, you can simply create multiple instances with different mods in each instance. The one little thing that bugs me is that it doesn't seem to have a dark mode, but that isn't a dealbreaker for me when it comes to something like a game launcher.

Vivaldi

A super customizable browser. I don't think I'd recommend it for people who need something more minimal, but for people who have customization as one of their main priorities it's great. It even has an editor for you to make your own themes in the settings, no code needed.
