  1. Have a bulletpoint list. Dust Bowl (1930s.) Yeah, my ponysona/brony fandom name gives away I'm a little Dust Bowl biased but there's so little on it other than Grapes of Wrath and Ken Burns. Red Scare (1950s.) There are plenty of cleverly disguised critiques (The Crucible and Invasion of the Body Snatchers being two that come to mind) but not many solely on McCarthy's communist witch hunt. Vietnam War in America away from the popular hippie movements. Extremist activism during this period led to some of the first acts of domestic terrorism. Spanish Flu Pandemic (1918.) There's surprisingly not a whole lot on this other than a few books and two TV documentaries. Often gets overlooked for Black Plague. Post-war WWII just about anywhere (mid-40s to mid-50s) America's class structure was completely redefined and other countries had to deal with the physical and emotional damage war wrought. Kinda like to see more on the evolution of the American class structure though.
  2. Pokemon Gold/Silver. I had eye surgery when I was a kid to fix my cornea and spent a lot of time stuck in bed with my Gameboy. Also the Pokemon TCG for Gameboy. Very rarely played the actual card game, clocked too many hours on the video game version. And how can I forget Golden Sun? The mere thought of tridents and multi-headed dragons brings a mix of nostalgia and sheer anger.
  3. Funeral for my grandfather was today. Still deep in denial but I have to keep moving with life. It's hard.

      I'm sorry about your grandfather. I know what it's like to lose a family member -- it's very hard, but I promise you that you'll get through it.

  4. Optimally; nothing because bronies aren't entitled to anything from a huge corporation. We're spit in a bucket as far as Hasbro is concerned. If this did happen; Twilight Sparkle is now voiced by Gilbert Gottfried and Princess Celestia is now voiced by Morgan Freeman.
  5. Bigender (female/male) but biologically female. I've never had an issue with people based on my gender, both during and prior to identifying as bigender. All the bronies I've talked to have been very pleasant people that treat me no different than anyone else which is exactly what I've want. I've had more issues with my orientation (asexual) than my gender.
  6. Mine is technically an earth pony. Several thousand years ago. I'm a big history buff so a prehistoric equine fits me the best.
  7. Green. Got it from my grandma on my dad's side, she's the only one in the family I know of with green eyes.
  8. I never learned cursive. I have a wrist disability that makes writing physically painful so the teacher just kicked me out of the classroom when they learned cursive. I actually first started to learn cursive at 23 when I was assistant teaching English in Japan. I still don't know how to read cursive. Every time I get a request or commission for a graphic with cursive font, I have to type it in print then switch.
  9. Los Angeles area, Southern California. Where the subdivisions of bronies could easily be told in the same format at the intro to Avatar: The Last Airbender.
  10. Two depression meds, one allergy tablet (dust ironically enough) and the one sedative thing for restless leg syndrome, and some herbal Whole Foods thing that smells gross and a hardcore muscle relaxer when I need it for dysmenorrhea which was mentioned the page before. If you have a smartphone try an app called Medisafe. It's a reminder you can custom set for your medication. Believe me I'm the worst when it comes to remembering meds and this thing is amazing.
  11. Other than the obvious pony collection I collect taxidermy (pelts, teeth, claws, bones, tails, etc) and tea. The tea collection is way bigger and usually open to guests that come over. Except for my two limited Chinese teas.
  12. Like three inches above the shoulder, so pretty short for a lady. But still modern.
  13. Previews of some prints I will have available at BABSCon if I make it off the waiting list. Okami Celestia and Luna. Started with Celestia, then realized Luna was obligatory. And a WIP of best princess Cadance and Sombra. I was kinda surprised at how many people were looking for Sombra stuff last BABSCon, so I figured I'd cater to the market. Hoping to do another 3DS piece since 3DS Cadance and Shining Armor went over well. We'll see!
  14. Don't forget STORMWATCH 2014/2015. HALF AN INCH OF RAIN AND WE'RE STOPPING THE PRESSES. And there's the ridiculous heatwaves. It peaked out at like 110 this summer. During Anime Expo. When everyone has to wait outside to pick up their pre-reg badges. No joke, people were having heat strokes in line.
  15. I am a hardcore Coca-Cola drinker. Like 2-3 cans a day. Anyone who has tabled with me can attest to the fact I'm like a dragon hoarding gold when it comes to Coke.
  16. Hey I haven't been on in a while. Sup all you night owls?

      *Is super late* Not much :P

  17. According to the merch guy, I'm on the waiting list for a vendor/artist spot and I'm crossing my fingers! I got some good stuff already sketched or done but I'm wondering what you guys are looking for in particular. How about some questions to get your brain going? 1. Your favorite merch? (Prints, buttons, plushies, cosplay stuff, official merch, etc) 2. Merch you didn't really see much of but want more? 3. Do you commission art? If so, what do you tend to commission? Your OCs, favorite ponies, the worst pairing you can come up with at the moment, something else? 4. Characters you love that you saw little to no merch of? Other vendors and artists, feel free to latch onto this thread for ideas!
  18. I have a panel presumably to run again so I'm trying my hardest but getting back on my financial feet after switching jobs is proving harder than I thought. I've been assured I will make it somehow!
  19. Covering service, ESA, and therapy dog etiquette would be helpful. I've seen them at quite a few cons and it's just awkward to watch people pet, grab, or try to play with someone else's service animal. Apparently it's just not that obvious you're not supposed to mess with working dogs.
  20. Banged my shin against a stool at work tripping over a pug that likes to hide between legs.
  21. Eurobeat, Eliemonty, MEMJ, and though not exclusively pony Archie. I've met the first two briefly and they're really nice people in person! I actually prefer covers and remixes, so that's what kinda slanted my decisions.
  22. Where I was born, raised, and live currently, "bro" is gender neutral. Everybody's my bro. If I had to pick one, it'd be brony.
  23. There can't be a dusk without a rising moon and a dawn without a rising sun. Both are needed. Non-serious answer: MST3K mantra.
  24. @@_Rainbow_dash_, Thank you! I actually forgot the wings when I first uploaded this piece (oops) it got fixed after someone pointed it out!
