I'm curious, how do Twilight and Daimond Tiara find out, and does their interaction remain unknown to Sweetie Bell, or does she find out what they did at some point regardless? Diary's can be great devices for exposition or surprise reveals, and as you're doing, an easy way to create a moment of conflict around privacy, respect of boundaries, and betrayals of trust. They can also be overused, particularly in a "children's" setting. One benefit you have as an independent author, is not having to follow tropes to the letter. What I mean by that, is bad acts don't have to have consequences, because that's a reflection if real life, sadly enough. Depending on how it plays out, I find the berating from characters outside of that moment more interesting, but if you're really stuck on that, you can also just have Applebloom and Scootaloo get away with it.

I'm really struggling with this one for some reason. Very little is jumping out at me that makes me go Ooh I almost said ship Serenity from Firefly, but as much as I loved that series, I don't like the design a whole lot? It's iconic, but it also resembles a plucked chicken so,,,? As a filler I'm going to say the Hogwarts Express, but I may come back to this.

@KPackratt A clothing store. Now seriously, where would you go if you were getting married and needed a venue?

Weather (hot in sun) and time permitting, my girlfriend's truck since we both live and work together. Where would you go if you were getting married?

What were your initial thoughts on MLP?
SharpWit replied to Megalobronia's topic in General Discussion
Back in 2011 I thought two of my friends were pulling my leg when they were telling me to watch it. I didn't know anything at all, not even that there was a series at the time. I vaguely pictured Generation 3 and it's lack of appeal for my demographic, but they said it shared similarities with power puff girls which everyone remembers for being kick ass, so I thought sure, why not. I watched the latest episode, Season 2 Episode 20 "It's About Time" and was impressed, but not sold. They said I had to watch at least 3 episodes, so I watched the first 3, and the potential for lore and actual character development got to me. From there on it was everything pony, with a good mix of other topics I was into. So skeptical, open minded and surprised. -
On paper I believe that you should have a clean slate after you've served your time, but that's not how it works in practice. Obviously I won't have someone working in a field connected to the crime, but if their actions were non-violent, it's been at least a few years since they finished their sentence, and they've had a good track record since, then I see no reason not to if they're otherwise qualified. Especially if they were let out early for good behavior. Would you employ a minor during the school year?

It's been some time, and this gives me no real authority on the matter, but I've rated thousands of designs on ponytown, and can say with biased certainty that yours is magnifique! You've followed every rule in the book, and just about mastered the beauty in simplicity. The only adjustment I would recommend, is perhaps brightening the irises to match the warmth of the cutie mark.

Being tempted is different than giving into temptation. A tricky game of never have I ever this is. I'm going to say no, because I did give in and play slenderman, and that's the only game I've played that I think could be considered "bad," lol. Good times. Have you ever been tempted to put something where it doesn't belong?

I used Midjourney for a little bit when it was popping off. They kept having to change their policy for free usage because of how high the demand was. Some stuff people "made" was really cool, but a lot still looked like something out of a dream. I mostly tried to make dinosaurs in foggy scenery. Fun but impractical for the time. Haven't used it since. I wouldn't really count Alexa. She's more of a speech to text search engine with a purchase oriented algorithm. I do say please and thank you to the one we have at work. 70% of the time she sits and listens. 10% of the time she doesn't. 18% she's used as an alarm/timer, and 2% she plays music.

The leaves are turning red, the canopy a warming hue But falling amidst the streetlights, I see another view. For one by one they fall, and in the dark of night they vanish One by one we all, follow suit to that void ever famished. Silently they drift along, forgotten lest their tannins stain the stony path Until that harrowing song, is bellowed by the beast upon the tracks. It welcomes us aboard, when the time has come Entrance is assured, but the exit is only reserved for some. Pointed ears and slitted eyes, look and listen with kneading paws When one steps towards the line, giving the others pause. Surely it's not your time to go, there's more for you to see? I've been told that is so, and that is why they provided a window seat. But what of chasing mice? Sunbathes? Scritchy scratches from those who adore? Those are all very nice, but life had something else in store. Surely when you're gone, you'll be terribly missed? By a great many, but love doesn't stop with the final cuddle, nor the last kiss. In their hearts through tear strewn eyes, a part of me is with them. You're awfully wise they say, for such a little kitten. That's a thought as the train goes by, cars and windows a blur I think of that sweet boy when he was by my side as the tracks hum and purr.

I had an uncle who for years had a a little quarter machine filled with reeses pieces, lol. My favorite are the small cups that are most prominent during the holidays, that cone wrapped in foil. The peanut butter to chocolate ratio is just perfect in it's balance of sweet decadence and that hint of salt. There's more too it than just the classic combo of Cocoa and nuttiness.

Yes, and more! Shade

War, war never changes. But really @Snow and @ExplosionMare have it down. It's the huge change in narrative that almost always comes with it that irks me. Ignoring the balances of power and being best friends with the most famous group of ponies.

They won't load for me.

Only if it was an area with several young children that they were hanging out in, and were just being an ass and not a tweaker in passing as was so often experienced in my childhood, lol. Would you confront someone for not washing their hands?

What song best represents your current mood?
SharpWit replied to Dreambiscuit's topic in Media Discussion
it's not just the time of year, but a sense of melancholy from recent events and the tiresome tasks inbetween. -
What's the most awkward household chore for you?
SharpWit replied to Reecejackox's topic in General Discussion
I no longer have to do this, but there was a blockage in our garbage disposal, which is connected to our dishwasher, and I have no idea what caused it. Anyways, the sink would back up, every time we did dishes, and I would have to empty all that nasty nasty dishwasher. I even bought a turkey baster for getting all the bits down in the drain. This deterred me from doing the dishes which would pile up, and I'd be lazy and leave the water for far too long, which would get exorbitantly grosser. Earlier this year, I finally replaced the garbage disposal, which also lead to a trove of side quests I had to perform under the kitchen sink, but I finally prevailed. Kind if similarly though, is using the same baster (don't worry I clean it after each use and it's only used for dirty things) to suck up debris in my turtle's tank. -
What's the worst start to a vacation you have had?
SharpWit replied to Reecejackox's topic in General Discussion
Ooh, the start? I have to think for a sec because we're usually hit by challenges on the way back. Honestly, I don't think we've had any real bad starts. Being tired from having to get up early sure, but that comes with the turf of timely travel, and no incidents that I can recall within the first hour or up till arriving at our destination. -
No Moscow, Idaho?

No, I see it as a rule that if someone is first to insist, you let them. The o e exception might be for someone considerably younger than me that I know needs the money. Would you be offended if a friend of yours maintained their friendship with someone you had a falling out with?

I've had my ripe days, but overall not too strong of a bad smaller. I use Degree Ultraclear+ 72 Hour Antiperspirant Deodorant, because despite the name, it ain't none too fancy and gets the job done. I'll shower every 3 days at least when taking time off, but still more to do with accumulated dry skin and hair getting greasy more than anything. However, it's wash my scrubs and jump into the shower first thing after work, because in a vet practice you never know what an animal brings in on them, and you make contact with all manner of bodily fluids and parasites, none of which I want in my home. Right now we mainly use Native Bodywash. They lured us in with their opening limited run of Gummy Bear Scented Shampoo and Conditioner, and have a variety of scents. Currently we have "Sweet Peach and Nectar" as well as "Cashmere and Rain". There's a variety of other branded body washes in our possession as well, but Native has been our primary for about 2 years now. For hair, I'm currently using Pantene 2 in 1 Shampoo amd Conditioner. They labeled less by scent and more by how they treat your hair? I either have the generic clean one or moisture, can't remember. Anyways, decided to give it a go because it was cheaper and the same brand as my usual, but I don't really care for it. It gets the job done overall, but it lacks in its conditioning, leaving my hair less silky, so I'm waiting to finish the bottle and switch back to their separate shampoo and conditioners. Their Bamboo infused one is my favorite for scent, but I don't really need volume, so it's the Baobab and Hyaluronic Hydrating set mainly, but we switch it up some. Depending on the day, I'll also use Batiste Dry shampoo in the morning, either original or barely scented, and for work I put in Suave Max Hold Mousse and Hairspray. On these warm summer days, I'll spray my arms with Banana Boat SPF50+ Sunblock. If it's a date night, I might work a little bit of vanilla extract and/or tea tree oil into my beard. I've also been copying my girlfriend's skincare routine some evenings, which uses 4 products, but only the last one is really Scented as limes, and although a wash my face most mornings, that can stick through. Despite all of that stuff, I'm pretty neutral For me to have all of these scents at once, it'd have to be a special occasion on a Thursday. Hit up Target and get to huffing if you want that scent profile!

What was the very first video game console you ever owned?
SharpWit replied to Snoopy Fan's topic in Media Discussion
Nintendo 64 for the whole family, and a Gameboy Advance much later for myself. I don't actually remember who I got it from or what happened to it, but it came with only a SpongeBob game which I would kind of speed run, and Brother Bear which I didn't quite finish. I did buy a Harry Potter game of some kind, but it was too dark for me to see much so I didn't get very far. Also a Van Helsing game based on the Hugh Jackman movie, but again would get to a point where I was stuck. Skill issue I couldn't really afford to get more games and was put off by the two I got being "duds" so when I felt done with the original 2, I was done altogether. I got this later, but shout out to Pocket Poker! -
At the very least get some laundry done. Do you have any plans to eat something you haven't tried before, anytime soon?
