  1. I kind of want to see more Pony Life fanfiction now. Only seen a few so far, and while the show isn't anything amazing, I just really want to see what fun stuff the fandom could make with it.

  2. So, due to some weird internet thing I couldn't access any pony sites for a bit. No forums, no EQD, no Fimfiction, no Derpibooru. A ponyless internet. How horrifying.

  3. Okay, bad news is the laptop I spilled on still isn't working, so that sucks. Good news is I got an older laptop updated and working. It's slower and not as good, but it's far more preferable than no laptop.

      A few years ago, and sadly no.

      I'm not super knowledgeable about this stuff, but I definitely hear something working inside. Dunno how to do what you suggested but I can look into it.

      I did try the external screen thing, no luck there sadly. I was planning on giving it a few days rest and trying it again, see if that works. If nothing else I guess I'll just have to take it to some repair place and hope for the best.

  4. Spilled a little water on my laptop. Cleaned it up as best as I could and it seemed perfectly fine, but a few hours later the screen suddenly went blank and it won't work anymore. Can't get a screen at all, don't know what to do. Can't get a new one if this one is broken, really anxious.

      That's rough, friend. I'm sorry. 

      There's always hope that nothing fried and the water is just causing complications that could end when it evaporates. 

      Hoping for the best.

  5. My mom is currently on hold for a call. Except the call is already disconnected which I saw when she gave it to me to hold for a minute. I keep trying to tell her and show her but she's not believing me and shouts when I try to prove it. So I tried, I guess. Wonder how long it'll take her to notice I was right.

  6. A tornado apparently just came right down our street and took down a few trees and other stuff. I must be oblivious though because I didn't see, hear or feel a single thing up here in my room, only know that happened because the neighbor came over freaking out.

      My goodness, I’m glad you’re okay.

      Thanks, I think everyone here is alright. My dad's room and the living room where my mom was at are both right next to the street it happened on so it's even more surprising they didn't notice anything either. I'd say it wasn't serious but it did still take down a few trees and some mailboxes.

      I'm glad you are ok!

  7. Probably going to end up losing internet soon. We can't afford it because everyone in my house has no job right now and nobody can get unemployment because the system isn't working. So I'm going to be stuck in the house with no internet for who knows how long.

     Considering how garbage my mental health is already, how I'm depending on the internet for entertainment, socializing and generally not going insane, and how I'm stuck with two alcoholics, I don't know what to do.

      Read a book, get a bike, right a story, buy a note book and a pencil, draw stuff. Go to the library. Look at them sexy books.

      Everything will be ok. Paying internet is tough. It's not the end of the world. There's things to do without internet. Me...I never owned a cellphone in my life. I use only computer. If there is a library near you, you can see if they have computers.

  8. I remember this one time, years ago back when I was still in school, this teacher asked me if I liked to read cause she hadn't seen me with a book. I said yes and told her I just liked to do all my reading online. She asked me what sites because she might be interested. I froze up because I realized the only site I liked to do reading on was Fimfiction and how was I supposed to explain to her my literature of choice was pony fanfics.

     I kinda dodged the question and I don't think she believed me about liking to read at all.:lie:

      It sucks people have to hide what they like, I hope the teacher did believe you though

    2. BastementSparkle

      BastementSparkle

      It was less trying to hide what I liked in that instance and more just I figured the conversation would be too awkward. She had a low opinion of me in general so I doubt she believed it.

  9. I hate how so many MLP videos on youtube have their comments disabled now cause of all the COPPA stuff. 

    1. Miss

      Miss

      Yea I can’t even add them to a playlist. 

  10. I finally set up a youtube account to watch a few age locked videos and my account is suspended after only just a few hours for no reason given. The heck?

  11. The way some people talk about Discord in the Season 2 premiere, you'd swear he was the most evil cartoon character they'd ever seen. A lot of people seem to have this exaggeratedly evil view of him where they interpret his as some being of pure evil who brings fire and brimstone and not a lunatic who makes it rain sweet liquids and turns reality into a surrealist painting.

      @Kiryu-Chan I think to an extent it's because what better option is there really? Lock him up in stone seems good, but eventually he'll just break out again and probably go on another rampage, and what happens when he eventually wins? He's invulnerable to pretty much anything that isn't the Elements or having his magic stolen. Equestrians don't seem too enthused about killing, so that's probably off the table, and even draining his magic might be a concern taking that into account, because if he isn't chaotic enough he'll eventually fade away. With his "Reformation" he's at least restrained, he'll generally try not to do anything too terrible out of fear of losing his friends, and he's shown to be able to care about others and feel remorse for doing something wrong, so there's some improvement there, no matter how small.

       You're right that it's kind of a bad situation, but in-universe from all we've seen of the show, having him free but restrained and maybe eventually being...if not a good, at least a tolerable person might actually be the best outcome here.

      @BastementSparkle

      Fair enough, but then again, I'm of the opinion that Discord's reformation retroactively got worse as the series went on, to the point where I honestly think it was one of the worst things to happen to the series, with the movie, and S8-9 being the breaking point

    4. BastementSparkle

      BastementSparkle

      @Kiryu-Chan I like his reformation for the most part, but I tend to find Discord just fascinating as a character, mostly because I just like how much of a contradictory mess he is, I wanna know what the heck is going on in his brain and why he does the weird stuff he does, sometimes it's obvious, other times it feels like what he wants and what he's doing are conflicting. His later appearances are a mixed bag, because sometimes you can see the improvement, like in the season 6 finale or Discordant Harmony, or certain other parts of episodes, and sometimes it seems like he's either backsliding or hasn't changed that much.

       I do feel like there's some parts the writer's could have done a better job with though, I don't want him to be a saint but I think they could have done more to show him trying to be genuine friends with the 5 outside of Flutters. I actually think some of the early comics did a better job with making him sympathetic without necessarily making him a goody-goody two shoes.

  12. You ever dropped something and it just disappears? I just dropped like half of a cookie I was eating and the thing seems to be totally gone, it wasn't even a small cookie either so it should be noticeable but I've just spent minutes looking around for it and it really seems to have just poofed out of existence the moment it left my hand.

      The gnomes got it, dude. It’s their cookie now.

  13. You know, based on Sombra's personality and voice change in the Season 9 premiere, I think it'd be fun to do like a fanfic or a comic or something where Sombra keeps getting resurrected every few years and every time he comes back he has a different voice and personality that just get increasingly ridiculous.

  14. I wonder if in Equestria, lucid dreamers have ever had nightmares on purpose just to talk to Luna. Sounds like fanfic material.

  15. Finding it really hard to stay hyped for the finale right now, almost don't even wanna watch anymore, feel like maybe I should just stop before it or something.

  16. What's up with people thinking the second the show ends the entire fandom is suddenly going to dissipate into nothing and die super fast or whatever? People don't stop being fans of something once it's over, and just because a fandom get's a bit smaller that doesn't mean it's "Dead". There are still fandoms and people producing fanart and content for shows and games that have been over for years, decades even in some cases. Just because something isn't the most hot and popular thing on the block anymore doesn't mean it's dead.

      Plus, nothing says the fandom won’t be stronger than ever with the arrival of G5

      I've been a fan on Guitar Hero/Rock Band since the beginning on PS2 and the community is small. But people still release hundreds of new songs on Rock Band 3 on Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii.

  17. What I've learned over the past two years: There's no point in trying to make things better, because no matter what you do they'll just keep getting worse.

  18. The worst idea I've ever seen for the finale of G4 is this idea I've seen of "They should end it with the universe being reset to G5!"...No. Just. No. The ending of the show, the grand finale and you want to see...the entire show, start to finish, all the history we know, all the characters we love, get wiped from existence and undone and replaced? Dear Celestia, nothing could possibly make me immediately hate G5 faster than that, and I'm not the type to dismiss things that are canon just cause I don't like them, but I'd immediately headcanon the whole finale as non-canon for the sake of my own mental health.

     It's not a super popular desire, but I've seen enough people mention it to feel the need to make this comment. No offense to anybody who actually might want this, I'm sure you're a nice person, but that's like...Number 1 worst cartoon ending of all time material.:scoots:

      I honestly don't think so. A reset wiping away the entire events of the series? That'd be a terrible way to end, and it'd immediately make me dislike the G5 timeline and characters, as in this case they wouldn't have just figuratively, but literally replaced the G4 cast and world. It'd be a horrifically depressing and pretty much enraging ending.

  19. I'm beginning to find it impossible to trust doctor's anymore. Either I keep getting bad ones or my body is just that weird, because they seem to have trouble figuring anything out.

  20. I'm looking at this new banner and all I can think about is how apparently Pear Butter was brought back from the dead only to see her own daughter disintegrate. She must think she's died and gone to hell, right about now. Poor Cadance probably feels about the same too.

  21. Happy Birthday Swirl!

      Thanks Base! Nice to hear from you :) 

  22. If there's ever some special edition full-series box set for this show, it needs to be designed to look like the Elements of Harmony book.

  23. I always get a little annoyed when I see someone in the fandom comment something like "MLP is fun and all, but it's not that great. It shouldn't be your favorite show". Like...what? If that's how you feel, then fine, but quit trying to tell other people how to think, if it's my favorite show it's my favorite show.

      Last I checked -- that was my call, not theirs.

  24. You know what would be fun? A Discord Nightmare Night episode.

  25. How did I only just recently realize what the MLP Season 1 prophecy "The Stars will aide in her escape" means?

      Twilight's Cutie Mark is one big star surrounded by smaller stars, representing her and the elements. Luna is the mare in the "Nightmare" Moon. It has nothing to do with NM escaping from the moon with the stars aide and everything to do with the elements helping to free Luna.
