I will do this today. I will show up for these people. I have the strength to endure. I can give them the compassion and support that they need to also keep enduring.

It's nearly 2023! I wish everyone a good next year and condolences to the families of those who couldn't make it.
This year will be amazing and full of pony art! The My Little Pony fandom still stands strong!

the two of you have had two million years together, so there's more than a chance you've done something similar a thousand times- but, if I were to suggest? I'd note two things. one? he's... developed an interest in mortal things. and two? he very blatantly and obviously loves you more than any materiel gift you could ever give him.
as much as I know you don't favor mortal things, my suggestion is something a bit less the stars themselves, and more down to- well, not Earth. but still.
you must know countless worlds Duke Valefor, and countless views from them. from mountaintops, seashore, or canyons of empty worlds with atmospheres that make the skies light up with every color in existence.
the thing that would make him happiest, I think, is time with you. so maybe pick the most beautiful view you've ever seen, have a nice meal ready to share- and devote the entire day to only the two of you.
and. maybe ask him to dance. he seems to like it.
A dance.
A dance. A dance is good. It isn't good enough. It isn't good enough for him.
Nothing can be good enough for him. He deserves so much more. I should be doing so much more and I should know something by now.

I think so many people are so deeply alienated from themselves that they have no clue how to exercise their free will and autonomy. For some, this alienation runs so deep that they are afraid of their own autonomy and humanity. It is completely understandable why one would have those feelings, but it can be worrisome.
I want to help others who feel this way, so here are small things I have done to exercise my free will:
Add "guilty pleasure" songs to playlists and actually listen to them (I have a ton of late 1990s-early 2000s music I listen to now proudly that I never listened to in the past out of shame)
Getting the décor item, bath set, bed spread, ect. in the patterns you like, even if it's "childish" (I got a dinosaur-themed wastebasket from the kids' décor section and I adore it)
Taking a new route to get to a place you go to often
Eat dessert first
Celebrate well, and often
Collect things that are "odd" or don't seem like an "acceptable" thing to collect (somebody on my "for you" page collects dandelion crayola crayons and it was so cool!!!!!!)
Incorporate one new piece in an outfit you wear frequently (e.g., a new chain, a necklace, ribbons, bracelets, ect.). Challenge yourself to add onto the outfits if you feel up for it.
Sing along to songs without worrying that you sound "good" or your intonation is completely accurate
Read a book from a genre you weren't allowed to read as a kid (comics, thrillers, mysteries, anything!)
Walk without having a specific destination or goal
Pick up a new craft without expecting yourself to master it or to ever be "good" enough. Get your hands messy.
I don't want to shame anybody for not feeling as though they have free will or that they are exempt from exercising it. However, I wanted to give ideas so that you might read this list and find your own ways to express your intrinsic autonomy and will. You deserve to be a person, to feel alive, not just living. That is what our lives are for.
