Sounds like a trust exercise with your autopilot, haha.

There are some profound spiritual insights in there.

On a personal note, kudos for not smoking. I hate the smell at least as much as tobacco, maybe more. And it's still unhealthy anyway.

Keep things in moderation though. Cannabis has a tendency to develop tolerance, making it a gray-area substance. (Sadly, the substances that are developing reverse tolerance are still mostly illegal. But those have the greatest healing potential. Naturally they are often not at all pleasant and require particularly responsible handling.)

cranky the donkey has one....

Good point. Makes this episode even more puzzling. I didn't find the writing nearly as forced as with Daring Done, but I recognized some of the same traits. I guess the strong presence of the mane 6 in this one helped a bit. Sometimes their mare screentime can make all the difference, heh.

Thanks. :-) Well, I wouldn't call her the hero, heh. She and Trixie were experimenting with solving problems. Thorax was quite the contributor himself. Pharynx too, just by being true to himself. They all working together was like one big heroic deed.

Ponies at the convention probably thought RD was cosplaying as herself.

In general maybe, yes. But Quibble Pants she introduced herself to with her real name, right? He didn't seem to find that odd.

Ooooh, imagine the front of the ship being a unicorn head with the speartip there (don't know the proper name) exactly matching the horn.

Now I imagine Princess Luna as a ship captain.

Title: Sailor Moon ^^

Believe it or not, that was never my intention.

What, you're a landlubber?!

No Spoilers Rarity is my patron saint now.

Heyyy, you are a pirarite. ... And that might sound like it's about shipping, but it's not. ... Wait, no, actually, it is. Kinda.

Episode 08* ^^'

Woah, thanks. The numbers, they grow up so fast. ^^

Good people are not as rare as you say, but of course having one close-by is usually something else than an acquaintance over the internet, possibly from another country even.

There's also gradations of virtue, and people's virtue can change based on the circumstances. Phoniness is like a well you dig deeper. You have to decide at which point you stop digging and accept what you know so far. Because one can overdose on insight when acceptance of the insight gained lacks behind. (Acceptance means not trying to change it, and thus instead shifting your priorities inwards.)

I don't think I'm even gonna try XD

So nice to still get visitors on old entries. Enriches the past.

... fluffymixer... look it up on youtube

That's minimalist fan material, and as far as I remember didn't even have any video with Dan in an EqG-humanoid setting.

After all, they said he'd be back. I'd assume he will find a way, no matter what.

So how would they deal with him?

Leave that to the writers. ^^

While I don't think an idea mentioned in the fandom would actually happen, it's still no fun to lay it all out.

Oh BTW, I was just reminded of this little crossover comic of mine: http://dowlphin.deviantart.com/art/How-Dan-managed-to-abduct-Rarity-412825674

INFO: Little update of my blog article. Nothing crucial, just appended some commenting on even more bullshit that followed.

Marketing - covering all target audiences

...This blog and it's contents needs to be known more.

For now, spreading the message is the only thing that can slightly lessen the pain of this soulcrushing disappointment. Actually, since after the escalation I'm shockingly void of emotion, most likely a protection reaction by my psyche, since I have been screwed over by people who refuse to fulfill their part of the deal before.

I feel like my inner Pinkie was put in a coma.

I hope that you do get your song in the end after all this.

Not from those two jerks anyway. They ruined it. And I don't think others are willing to openly oppose someone 'with a name'. And even if, ... the pain. It would have to be healed first.

I did notify Galacon though and am awaiting feedback from them.

I know it would be weird to ask for your money back since it went to charity, but I hope you at least get what you payed for.

Yeah, of course I'm not doing that. The money served a good purpose. (Well, if anything, those two should compensate for the donation. Because I can't really afford to make expenses like that just for anything. It's still a song-for-money deal that they made impossible. If they cannot fulfill their side of the deal, then it's basically called off.) The betrayal connected with it needs to be dealt with in an appropriate way, otherwise stuff like this will happen again. As Thomas Jefferson(?) once said: "Nothing is settled that isn't settled justly.". And I cannot take this burden of yet another ripoff. I want to like the community, I want to go to Galacon this year, but as you can probably understand, right now there's only emptiness and uncertainty for me. ... This song was the one thing I could look forward to, that at least kept the utter despair away, and now that has turned into its opposite.

You have to be able to distinguish bed hair from conditioner.

Pinkie's hair is filled with joy. ... and various useful items.

Who are all those Peggy Sues? ... Have they formed an alliance? I find that sus-pact.

Wowww! That's really cool! I might add that to a future pony comic.

If I could draw well, I'd probably make comics of some of my dreams.

I have made a draft of a more eloborate system, but it's not refined enough to be of public interest. It might be useful for figuring out how to change one's personality in order to attain success and what type of path that would represent. There seem to be certain archetypes.

I love dreaming of ponies but I only seem to do it when I fall asleep with my rainbow dash teddy I don't know why but every time I have her I dream ponies its great

Friendship is magic.

Until I get my own place, I'll have to manage without a plushie.

Pony dreams rule! 

Indeed! I got to save a country workhorse damsel from the Evil Nerd-Faker.

I gotta remember where I left that katana. Could come in handy for future dreams. (I didn't even see its blade, so it must have been an invisible katana, which is way cooler! ... But also makes it even more difficult to find. - I hope I at least sheathed it, otherwise I might not even want to risk searching for it.)

Hm... now I'm wondering whether all this is related to my recent watching of Adventure Time.

 

I dunno, I still find personality typing myself with ponies to be a square peg round hole sort of deal.  

 

Don't be a square.
