The site does cost money each month to upkeep. I don't sell any data, nor do I run any ads - any support you can give to help with the upkeep of things would be greatly appreciated.
There is no max goal for this donation, nor and end point. The rough costs for the site are around 40/50 GBP each month give or take 10 either side depending on the month, there are periods at the start of the year where this does increase significantly due to renewals for the domain and SSL certificates that this site runs off.
The site will remain active and online for as long as I can maintain it. I'm not struggling financially (at least as much as some!) and can maintain this regardless.
Tormented, known as Ash or Ashley, has foregone many of the necessary roles of a leader. He has shed the more feminine aspect of his name, "ley", and monikers a identifying signal of his own mental state. As the creator of NCM, and the guide of rebellion against, YCM, Ash displays an ordinance of control, perspective, and outcome that comes from collectively bringing together a group of liminal agents, on the outskirts of jouissance, desire, and familial bonds. By forgoing his own appearance, "clothes", in this sense, and constructing a more mythical narrative behind his persona through personality, title, and model, Ash exposes the ontological boundary between being and becoming, between appearance and performance. In this essay, I will expose the nature of this gap that Ashley illustrates, illustrating that it is not his "clothes" that matter, nor his it the words that he delivers; it is through the community which recognizes his "clothes" and performance which sustain the illusion. Instead of Hans Christian Anderson's "Emperor's New Clothes", Ash's own ontological leadership is much more along the lines of him wearing clothes, and we all call him naked.
i'm not going to lie to you and say i care all that much about any ships to make them canon, but you deserve some sort of answer
i think relationship between rarity and the nightmares as depicted in mlp idw #5-8 could have used a little more exploration, maybe not to the point of shipping material but, like, i dunno they were on the same side at one point and nominally on the same (other) side post-reformation. i know the comics aren't canon to the show but they don't really do anything after that.
