  1. Not really into sports, honestly, and I don't play any instruments so I don't really have a favorite As for how I dress, well, this time of year I mostly throw on jeans and sweaters to get through each busy day, but I do enjoy looking more fancy and dressed up when I have time to. I also switch to shorts and tank tops in the summer. I've been to one big concert in my life, it was some American Idol thing when I was quite a bit younger. I'd love to go to a concert some time, but for now my experience with them is very limited. As far as favorite animated movies... hmm, I don't watch a lot of movies but I do have a certain fondness for Studio Ghibli films And I prefer the classic 2D style, definitely
  2. @Jeric was right, this announcement did not disappoint. Congratulations @Fhaolan!
  3. If I were to pick from the existing Elements of Harmony, I would represent Kindness. If I were to make my own Element, I would hold the Element of Empathy
  4. I'm doing well, if a little stressed I like to relax by reading or watching TV or youtube And let's see, best and worst thing about every season Spring - Everything is turning green again, but mud and potholes everywhere Summer - Warm and sunny, but oh gosh so many bugs Fall - Apple season! Getting colder though Winter - Everything is cold and dead and covered in snow winter is awful and there are no upsides bye (Okay I guess it's kind of pretty and the holidays are fun. I don't hate the season entirely) And well, I guess that depends on your definition of paranormal experiences Pretty sure my parents' house was haunted though. It gave off creepy vibes
  5. Got a really good grade on one of my exams. Struggling to believe I wasn't mis-graded somehow...

    Perfect! On to second approval!
  7. It feels really good to be caught up on my roleplays after so long <33

    Zaru

    Hi Path! Zaru is a great character, as would be expected, but I do notice one little thing in his profile. While I don't mind your zebra having a bit of color, saying that his coloring is rare for his species says more about zebras in general than him, and could be contradicted later. If you could remove this one little bit, Zaru would be just perfect
  9. That feel when even your textbook is being polyphobic. Sigh...

      That doesn't surprise me for some odd reason. :/

    Gideon

    Gideon looks great (and adorable) to me. Sending him along to second approval
  11. Hello! Mentis looks great to me as well, though I do notice a couple of little things to be fixed. First, Mentis' fondness for Luna should not be included in the explanation for his cutie mark, as liking her is not really instrumental to who he is. Second, I'd like to see his appearance section expanded upon a bit. I know it seems redundant since you have an image of him as well, but just an extra sentence or two would suffice, at least to describe his mane and tail. The portion in that section in parentheses is also not really necessary, since you cover that in the "other" section, so that can be removed. These should be very quick and easy to fix, and once they're fixed I would be happy to give Mentis my approval
  12. I've seen any given episode anywhere between 1 and 5 times, roughly. The newer ones (mainly season 5) I haven't gotten around to watching more than once, but between getting other people into the show, rewatching episodes for the show's comfort value when I'm feeling down, and keeping close tabs on characters and lore for roleplaying purposes, I can end up watching the same episodes quite a few times
  13. Allow me to tell you why I, a lazy good for nothing millennial, usually forgo cereal for breakfast. My day begins as I wake up, shower, and make myself look nice to tackle a day of classes and labs that move me ever-so-slightly closer to my bachelors in zoology, tasks to complete as a leader of a large and influential student organization, studying, looking for jobs, trying to find a new home to move to, and keeping up with my various friends (not to mention my hobby of moderating this very forum and roleplaying therein). With so much to do, I often don't have time to get out dishes, cereal, milk, etc, sit down to breakfast, and clean everything up afterwards before I run out the door, so I opt for a piece of fruit and/or granola bar instead. On days when I do have time for breakfast, I tend to opt for oatmeal or an egg sandwich, because if I'm going to take the time to sit down to an actual meal involving dishes and cleaning and such, I should probably make it one where I actually put something nourishing in my body. So there you have it. The secret behind our millennial "laziness" is that we're in fact doing a million different things and need to get the most out of our time. Honestly, a lot can be said about this article, how it provides no hard data even in what it cites and how it's giving the same weak argument that countless articles give these days, but at the end of the day it's an article in which someone set aside time out of their own life to call an entire generation childish while complaining that cereal doesn't come with toys anymore and that they can't eat a certain cereal because it reminds them of a "weird fandom", and that's really all that needs to be said.
  14. Sending all my good vibes to Kesha for the foreseeable future <3

      The Mint Pone

      She made Die Young so she forever has my support

  15. @Hederik is correct, though if you'd like any further help I would be happy to assign you to a roleplay mentor who can give you a more thorough description of the process
  16. If they take place every four years, then there's no way that a student could be around to see the games more than once. If the games had occurred during the freshman year of the main characters, then it wouldn't occur again until the year after they all graduated. If another one occurred when they were seniors it would only be a three year gap.
  17. So tired... so achy... worth it

      you sound like you need some R&R.

  18. Congratulations cousin Kou! As usual you bring pride and honor to the family
  19. Congratulations Path! Your new position is very much deserved
  20. It's really hard to tell watching these characters together whether the people making this show are actually trying to push the envelope or if they're just queer-baiting and fan-baiting. I would really like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and believe that they want these two to be together though. At this point, there's no reason they couldn't move in that direction, since there's an obvious romantic potential between Lyra and Bon Bon. As time goes on, LGBT+ representation in children's media is receiving less and less pushback, so who knows? Maybe somewhere in the next season they'll finally feel ready to take that chance. Until then, I'll just be over here, shipping quietly to myself...
  21. Ivan looks perfect to me. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about this character and his backstory, and I look forward to seeing what trouble he gets up to in EqE I'm sending Ivan along to second approval, where he'll just Randi's approval again after he reads over the new info. He should be happy to approve Ivan right away though, especially seeing that you two seem to be getting along so well... (Celestia help us...)

    staff She's on a roll!

    Congratulations IK! Your promotion is well-deserved, and I'm honored to be in the royal guard with such a lovely person
  23. That image is absolutely magnificent! I think that showing both boys and girls playing with pony toys was an excellent choice, as little kids are especially vulnerable to gender normativity. I also love the inclusion of several people of color, including that fabulous Twilight cosplayer (does anyone think that might be a nod to the popularity of black human Twilight?) And to address something else I noticed... Putting an adult man on the ad might have been nice, but it's just not all that necessary. Men (especially straight white men) aren't a vulnerable demographic, in fact more advertising is geared specifically towards them than any other group. Male bronies already get so much attention that most people are under the misguided impression that "brony" is a term meant to refer only to men rather than people in general. While negative stereotypes need to be addressed about specifically male bronies, none of those stereotypes can be so much as scratched until people come to understand that all genders are part of the My Little Pony fandom, and that starts with advertising that shows adult women. Not only that, but I can't think of a single fandom that's treated better by the people making its source content than this one, and that includes men. The spotlight should go to people who need it more, the people who get it less. To say otherwise would be a selfish way to think.
  24. @@Dark Qiviut, @@Pucksterv, Thanks you two. I'm sure I'll enjoy my time aboard the mod train (choo choo)
