movies/tv Why is middle school such an under-used setting?
Durandal replied to TheMisterManGuy's topic in Media Discussion
Because Middle School is this weird transitional phase between Elementary and High School that no one liked or even remembered. It's bad enough that so much crap is set in high school, we don't need the genre even more crowded. -
Request Shop! Closed for catch up (unless you ask really nicely)
Durandal replied to icyfire's topic in Requestria
Oh dear, I didn't include that? Sorry! Both forms would be nice, but if it's too much work I'd prefer the changeling form. -

Unfortunately, no. This will probably be the first illustration of Metis. -

Is my ponysona racially insensitive?
Durandal replied to Steel Accord's topic in Original Character Help
So long as he isn't described solely by his spirituality, you should be fine. Just avoid making him a caricature.- 25 replies

It's unfortunate that I've arrived so late, your artwork looks amazing! I'll throw out these two in case you're willing to take more requests. https://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/minerva-poros-empyrean-tick-r3798 https://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/apate-metis-artful-campaign-r3984 I'd like to see them in both of their forms, both of Metis's forms in uniform, and Minerva with her longrifle and gauntlets (only on one form though, you can pick which one).

Is my ponysona racially insensitive?
Durandal replied to Steel Accord's topic in Original Character Help
I can't see anything overtly insensitive about your OC, but some food for thought: By making your OC a zebra to better portray your own spirituality, you're suggesting that zebras have a monopoly on it. Focusing too heavily on it also risks your OC becoming a stereotype. Think of it like making an African-American as a fictional character and focusing only on the fact they're a gangster. By ignoring the rest of their personality, you're dehumanizing them, and that has a host of implications behind it.- 25 replies

I agree with GXPB, compared to real ponies of her stature she has an incredibly short and small torso, since it's about the same size as her neck. Compared to other ponies, she only has longer, thinner legs and a larger neck, and her torso is thinner than most. I'd wager the only reason she's heavier than a normal pony is all that damn hair.

What could be the Species of Cadence's Child/en
Durandal replied to Mentis Soliloquy's topic in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
Technically a species is described as a large group of organisms that can reproduce with one another, so they would all be ponies. As for whether they're alicorns, unicorns, pegasi, or earth ponies depends on Cadance and Shining's genetic makeup. The most likely indicator of what breed of pony a foal is lies in genetics. So really, depending on how their family tree looks, it might be perfectly plausible (though improbable) that recessive genes would lead to unicorn and pegasi foals.- 54 replies

Very Awkward Moment Between Popular Brony And Fan
Durandal replied to GXPBlast's topic in Sugarcube Corner
I'll concede that my argument over differing cultures is preemptive in nature due to the likelihood of the person in question being a native. I would challenge where you see an omission on my side, however. What is being referred to here as being 'a creep'? There are several definitions, though the most relevant are: 1) a boring, disturbingly eccentric, painfully introverted, or obnoxious person; and 2) a person who makes persistent sexual advances toward someone, or who cheats on a sexual partner. While I can see how he might exhibit some of these traits, there is also the negative connotation. As the OP states: Is it really acceptable to shame someone for making a faux pas due to their nerves? Many members I've noticed treat Nowack as a victim, as if his awkwardness was a sexual advance. It's fairly obvious it wasn't, so why punish him for a mistake? So to answer your question directly zombienixon, I am not in the business of encouraging overreactions. -
Very Awkward Moment Between Popular Brony And Fan
Durandal replied to GXPBlast's topic in Sugarcube Corner
Yes, but due to its influence on global culture and its self-absorption the US is considered to be the most grievous offender. Brazil and several other Latin American countries are extremely tactile countries. Now, while tourists should be expected to understand the norms of the culture they're going into, accidents can happen. Under this logic, a Latin American making a faux pas in the US is still creepy and to be shamed, regardless of the fact that their culture considers that socially acceptable. While I can agree that in this case it was an awkward moment, the general consensus appears to be that it's unacceptable period, regardless of circumstance. It's a culturally ignorant opinion, as it suggests that touching is a universally taboo thing, when it isn't. Going on an entirely different tangent here, I feel like a lot of people are overreacting to this. Yes, it was a faux pas, but if you stood back for a second and realized it was probably an accident, you wouldn't be so quick to shame him. For example, I mean, really? -
