Minecraft.

@UrbanMysticDee  
Hail!

@Havoc  
Oh. Well then we should be fine. Those things don’t work underwater.

@Officer Hotpants  
But we live in Flint. We have no water.

@Havoc  
Technically inaccurate.

I had a good idea for a video,so I got all my stuff together,got the lights set up,watched a little to refresh my mind,turned the camera on…and realized I have only eleven minutes left.  
I tried deleting a long downloaded video,but deleting downloads only frees up about a minute.  
The video I deleted was Hotdiggetydemon’s Powerpuff Girls video.  
The video I had in mind to make was about the bonus features on the various Power Rangers DVDs.

One of my mom’s house’s pipes burst, and I had to front the bill for her. Luckily, it wasn’t too hard to find and fix. Still cost me around 650 dollars.

@Acres  
Your mom is a machine?

@Barhandar  
Aren’t we all, if you think about it?

@Barhandar  

@Barhandar  
Welcome my son…
 
Wait. That has incestuous implications in this situation.  
Score.

@Acres  
Try leaving the water running, that helps it not freeze.

Bleh. Almost every time I publish another chapter of my fic, it gets another dislike. I know I shouldn’t let it affect me, but I can’t help but feel sad.  
As well as salty, because it’s pretty obvious what kind of story it is, and part of me feels like the people who dislike it read the first chapter, confirm it’s what it says on the box, and dislike it.  
At least I like to think of it that way, since even well-written grimdark fics tend to get a lot of abuse of the type.  
But I guess I can’t quench the fear that maybe my writing is just bad. I know that grammatically it’s alright (I have a really good editor, after all), but I’m worried the story in itself is bad.  
And like, while I’m mostly writing for myself—at least, that’s what I try to convince myself of—it still sucks to see the downvotes go up.  
EDIT: it got two this time already. Bleh.

@Sapphie  
Maybe I should look at a rewrite of chapter 1? I should definitely take a closer look at it before publishing another chapter, since it could be that it’s driving potential readers off.

@Sapphie  
I got a downvote on one of my YouTube videos. I’m not sure what was wrong with it.  
Nearly every picture I’ve uploaded to Derpi gets at least a few downvotes.

@Sapphie  
Maybe it’s just a troll? Can you see who downvotes on that website?
 
I can stop if you want me too.

@Dex Stewart  
Yeah nah, the issue isn’t that it gets downvotes in the first place—I wouldn’t expect to have a flawless fic.  
What breaks my heart is the ratio at which it gets them. 22 likes to 6 dislikes. That’s pretty bad for something I’ve poured my heart and soul into.

@Sapphie  
e621 is the worst when it comes to downvotes. All it takes is for ONE asshole to downvote your harmless, non-provocative comment, and it gets downvoted to hell. They somehow have more sensitive manchildren than derpibooru. Or just really dumb people who do it just because everyone else is seemingly doing it.

@Sapphie  
Do you get comments?

@Fleur de Lis  
I do, and they’re pretty much all positive.  
In and of itself, positive comments are nice, but I also wish the people who disliked it would at least give some critique.

@Sapphie  
Link?

@Officer Hotpants  
I didn’t mean to use this as an opportunity to advertise it. But here you go

@Sapphie  
And now I know your account there! Classic blunder!
 
I’ll look it over later. Should I read Fallout: Equestria first or is it self-contained?

@Officer Hotpants  
I mean, it’s not like my account name on there is a secret ^:)  
It’s mostly self contained, but there are a few details that won’t get explained in depth (since they’re already explained in the original)
