Hugs of Sir Manys

That's interesting! I may have something like that, only I've never put much thought into it! I am not considering it as a path for me, at least for now, but is there any sort of age gap when accepting potential apprentices for druids? I haven't fully learned to understand my abilities well and my... application of them is quite erratic. But generally plants seem to react to my playing, flowing with the rhythm, so to say. Flowers seem to be able to open their petals even if they're hidden in the shadow. It doesn't go far, but maybe it's because I never practiced it much!

I did reach season 3 or 4 before and I also saw first 2 episodes of season 5 so I am not that far away. I am only rewatching entire series all the way from the beginning with friends Your theory does make sense Honestly though, as much as I try to add something I think that to discuss this I need to first reach related episodes so for now I can only agree ;-; I can't wait to see episodes needed though! And I definitely can't wait for CMC to get their cutie marks

I would likely go for fantasy in Tolkien kind of style as that is what always worked well with my curiosity and inspired me. Fantasy besides is my favourite genre overall so it's an easy choice for me

Today in mood for some power metal

Quite late as I've never put much importance to it. I think I was around 12 years old and even then it was only connected to my PC so I can watch movies on it. I was more of a video games/internet person so it still was mostly gathering dust though

Oh that's quite okay, at the moment I am at work so playing video games wouldn't be a good idea I was planning to do it after work, but it will be a spontanous thing, I don't have any specific plans yet It would be neat to have You on the stream!

I got myself Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga and can't wait to play it today after work! As if building Lego wasn't enough, now I will play Lego video game

That was too much fun, I wish I was able to stay on for a bit longer I will likely play Lego Star Wars today and maybe stream it to some friends, because I never played it before and want to share the experience Special thanks to @EpicEnergy for being the direct reason as to why I got it

Thank You for the response! But here's the question about druid magic - where does it come from? I understand that it's one that can manifest itself in any race that's there, but it still doesn't look like something common, given how most of us never met a druid before! Is it something You're born with? How did You encounter Forest Storm first? How did Your abilities begin to manifest? Or did You simply decide that becoming a druid is Your calling? I myself have some unusual abilities related to the plantlife and found that I can control it to some degree with my music!

It's an amazing set, I can't wait to see it assembled, looks like a really fun build to do!

And that definitely is true! I am still on season 1! D: That's a long way ahead I can't wait! There is a possibility of them being a more isolated case though. As we know mane 6 are elements of harmony which makes them bound to each other since birth - in fact - before they even knew of each other. Maybe that's why their cutie marks remained the same? Because, while Rainbow Dash's rainboom got stopped something else happened that still made them find their cutie marks together due to special bond they share? That would allow them to keep same cutie marks while altering the rest of events leading to various futures with only one thing remaining the same - mane 6's cutie marks. It's just a theory for now and its correctness depends on if other ponies have same cutie marks or not. If they have the same cutie marks as well then my theory goes through the window

To be honest action movies were never that big of a deal to me. There's action in pretty much everything, but brainless shooting with a copy-paste storyline and a lot of unnecesarry explosions and 0 creativity was always on a complete bottom of my "to watch" list. But my perception of these still changed. The reason is simple: a show tailored for children - valuable lessons about life, inspirational episodes with a specific purpose to promote kindness to those around us and values of friendship, love and positivity. mindless action movies, usually considered "for adults" or at least 12+ audience - usually just brainless violence and pointless storyline that teaches You nothing, doesn't help You to develop and is of questionable, cheap quality that to me feels like a slap to the face So at this point I find many of those movies even insulting to intelligence. It is, because now we know that meaningful shows can really reach high if enough heart is put in them. We stop showing people great values and instead dumb them down. We really can do better than making another movie, which's sole points are fist/gunfights and dumb explosions. It's important to note that this thread is about "mindless" action movies, which makes the, let's call it, genre very specific. That's why my opinion on them is so radical

The show made me appreciate, who I am far more. My biggest bane was always my self esteem, or, to be more specific - a complete lack of it. As a rather soft spoken and "in the clouds" kind of person I had to deal with criticism on a regular basis with people expecting me to "be a man" aka - tough, stone cold, with very specific set of hobbies (what's up with that, I don't like watching sports and suddenly people look at me like some sort of alien xD). Any "deviation" from that rather narrow minded point of view was sin as a weakness. Needless to say, having the same thing, however ridiculous it may be literally pounded into Your brain with some sort of mental sledgehammer makes You eventually believe that. Since I couldn't just change to "fit in" (nor did I ever want to as such attempts made me only feel worse) my self esteem plummeted rather quickly with me seeing myself as a naive, paper man with nothing to present to the wide world. I will tell You all this - it wasn't fun. Today I laugh at that (and feel happy I never gave in) but back then it took away much of my enjoyment from pretty much anything. Then there's this show, where I'm suddenly told that no matter who I am - I am worthwhile. Even more, there are actual fans behind it and in large numbers too, who tell me the same thing - I'm worthwhile. There's a character who faces my very own struggles and remains true to herself and through that becomes strong. Only that strength is hidden as there's more behind the word than some brute force or ability to tell someone to "get lost". That was a life changer to me. That hasn't fixed all my problems, obviously, it takes even more than that for this to happen, but set me on a right path. I am certain that if I never ran into this show then today I'd be another "boring" human, who killed their passions and lives only to work, eat and sleep. I am certain, because this is exactly the kind of ideal that I was being pummelled with. It's no exaggeration to say that I owe this show my life today. I wouldn't be myself if it wasn't for ponies. And I am proud of it.

Wow, You made one strong point with the season 5 finale (I haven't seen it, but now I can't wait to get to it!). But as a little counterthought to that to stir up the debate, my friend! The question is at which point were the events altered! (here it's actual question as I have no idea D:). If the history was changed after Rainbow Dash's sonic rainboom which was how mane 6's cutie marks came to be then the similarity is understandable. After The trick comes if it was the Sonic Rainboom that was "erased". In that case I will have to agree with You that at least to some degree genes are involved with cutie mark's appearance. There is a chance that they would end up with the same cutie marks for circumstancial reasons given their natural talents, but while that would be... measurable with only one altered future. Here apparently we discuss about several futures with the very same cutie mark. My, my, that's the hard one, You brought up a really powerful argument with season 5 finale alone, but maybe I can find other explanation yet This will take a lot of thinking... and apparently watching too... Thank You for amazing contribution as always, whenever You post something
