Heh. I never noticed that, but it is slightly like Small Soldiers (but the "toys" in my story are actual living creatures rather than real toys with artificial intelligence). The thing about the government wanting people to be dumb is because they themselves are not that smart and don't want the citizens to be smarter than they are.Thanks for taking the time to read and comment. I hope to update the story with new chapters soon. c:

The other day I was looking at my new Doctor Hooves figurine and was inspired to write a story in which Hasbro is this evil corporation that has a hold on the government and somehow aims to control people using ponies. Of course, for this evil plan of theirs, they steal ponies from Equestria, clone them, and sell the pony clones as toys. A group of super average humans (because in this world, the government sees civilian intelligence as a threat, and so the general population of humans is a little on the dumb side) discovers a few ponies who have managed to escape and must figure out how to help them rescue all the other ponies and save both Equestria and Earth. I still haven't decided whether or not this is going to be any good. If anyone's interested in reading the first chapter, which is all I've got written so far, it can be found here. (The password is "Grammarshine.") Also, if this story does any good, I might add illustrations. Oops. I accidentally typed the wrong password. It is "Grammarshine."

That looks awesome! o3o Hehe. I love how you've turned my zebra stripes into scars. It's a unique idea that I would never have thought of. xP Would it be okay if I wanted to use this as a profile picture sometime in the future?

I am pretty freaking obsessed with My Little Pony, but I have other things I'm way into as well. I obsess over... Hyenas - They are my favourite animal, for starters. Also, I am a furry/therian, and my fursona/spirit animal is the aardwolf -- a small subspecies of hyena that has stripes and a long, bushy tail and eats only termites. I have three comic characters who are anthropomorphic aardwolves and refer to themselves as "The Grammar Hyenas." Each one is a representation of a different aspect of myself, and I devote much of my time to thinking about and drawing them. The Endless Forest - It can be considered a mass-multiplayer online roleplaying game, but there is actually quite some debate over whether or not it's actually a game at all. In fact, its creators call it an interactive online screensaver. Basically, it's a simulation of a magical forest, and each "player" gets an avatar of a deer. The deer have human faces and the ability to cast spells on each other to change their appearances. There is no talking, there is no chat box, there are no obnoxious usernames floating over everyone's heads (players are identified in-game by glowing orbs over their heads that contain beautiful and unique pictogram symbols), but players communicate with one another via motions, emotive actions, and deer-noises. You can call it boring if you want to (most people do), but I am in love with it. I have it set as my computer's screensaver so that whenever I walk away and leave it open, I will be greeted with the beautiful forest sounds and, if my character falls asleep, the music that plays. Doctor Who - This is probably the best science fiction story ever made. It's been around since the 60s, and it's still popular, so that should say at least something for it. The characters are amazing, the scripts brilliantly written (most of the time), and the subject matter is just... wow. It sounds silly when you try to explain it to someone who's never seen it before (Okay, so there's this guy whose name is The Doctor. No, not Doctor Who, just The Doctor. He looks human, but really he's a time-travelling alien with two hearts. Also, whenever he's about to die he regenerates, which means his body completely changes into a different person to keep him alive. Oh yeah, and he flies around in a ship that's disguised as a blue Police box, and it's bigger on the inside. Don't even ask what that means; just watch the show, and you'll understand it.) I love Doctor Who so much that I have my own customized sonic screwdriver toy (okay, it was actually a kit with parts of different sonic screwdrivers, and you can put them together however you want) and wear bowties for fun because the Doctor says "bowties are cool." Taxidermy - Most people think it's odd, freaky, disgusting, etc., but I have chosen taxidermy as my career and my passion. Nothing pleases me more than restoring beauty to dead things and making them appear alive again. Animals that are too damaged to mount become jewelry and accessories. I'm still an apprentice and therefore have no real business of my own, but my teacher generally lets me keep scraps that he can't use because he knows I like to make things with them. I would love to sell the things I've made, but even if I can't find anyone to buy them, I will still keep making them, just because I love them so much.

Oh, I knew that. It's just that so many people today have this weird horror-feeling about eating any animal that isn't pig, cow, chicken, or turkey. I just don't get it. I mean, I understand people being against animal cruelty. I myself care very passionately for the well-being of animals. (I consider them my equals and my brethren.) However, most people have this really dumb idea that death = cruelty, and that just isn't true. Carnivorous animals kill and eat one another in the wild every day, and we don't consider them the villains. They also don't discriminate between the ugly/food animals and the cute/friend animals, so why should we? That's just how I see the world, though. I guess there are always going to be people who don't agree.

That is exactly how I feel. I've never been presented horse meat as a food option before, but if I had the opportunity, I would want to try it. I would like to try eating all of my favourite animals (excluding the endangered species, for obvious reasons), actually, even though they aren't considered normal food animals. animals I love to eat: deer, cow, shrimp, most fish, squid, animals I eat indifferently: chicken, turkey animals I want to eat: fox, hyena, horse, shark, sheep, possum, alligator, animals I do not like to eat: pigs (except for in bacon form), catfish/ other bottom-feeding fish (because they taste slimy)
