    @Drago Ryder @dragon4111 @Goat-kun @Buck Testa @Canteen_the_unstable

    Hey guys, so I was hit with a very bad flu and slowly making a recovery. Let me read over everything I missed and try to gather my thoughts to make my next post. So I'll try to make the next post by either sunday or monday. Thanks for being patient with me and I hope this doesn't effect the RP

    No worries, I'm still on hiatus due to the new job. 

  2. I could think of a few ways. 

    Discord comes to mind. He's shown himself on multiple occasions to be able to alter the physical characteristics of ponies, removing and adding horns and wings on a whim. Hell he gives Spike a magical staff and Big Mac a horn on a whim for their O&O campaign. 
     


    Even if you say it's not quite the same thing as a real horn, it's STILL a replacement. 

     

    Another idea would be to perform a feat worthy of becoming an Alicorn. I'd imagine the transformation would heal her wounds along with granting her wings. Now WHAT she'd have to do to make such a thing happen I have no clue. We only have Twilight for an example, and we don't really know what Cadence did to ascend from a Pegasus into an Alicorn.

    Excuse me. I had actually posted days ago, and I made sure to at you when I did so. While I certainly can understand missing a reply in your feed, I do not appreciate being talked bad about in the game, especially when I had replied.

    The Joker or The Green Goblin?

    Green Goblin would probably win this one.

    • He's usually packing a lot more weaponry on his person at any given time than Joker is,
    • He's much more mobile than Joker both on and off his glider
    • He's got a moderate level of Super human Strength, Speed, and Durability that would give Batman a rough time much less the Joker 
    • He's Quite wealthy and has access to a wide variety of equipment comparable to Tony Stark. He in fact has access to Stark Suits 
    • He'd not be aiming to capture like Batman would 

     

    Superman vs Batman... In a Stand up Comedy competition. Who'd win THAT?

    Sundae noticed something off: Boulder didn't seem happy. She frowned “What's wrong Boulder?” Server began to notice it as well, giving her newest master a concerned look. 

    “Mr. Dash, is there something wrong?” did she said something wrong? All she did is talk to him and introduce herself.

    “Boulder, are you okay?” Sundae became worried. The doctors said he was fine but it looks like he's having a panic attack. Before she could say anything, a voice interrupted him.

    “Is there something wrong, madame Delight?” grouped on the stairs was 12 ponies, wearing white and black outsides consisting young healthy-looking mares and stallions of all three kinds of ponies. Standing infront of them like a leader is an elderly stallion “Whoa, madame, when did you have daughter?” 

    If he had a more level head, he'd have been able to calm himself down. He'd be able to just go with the flow and pretend everything was fine until he got a better read on the situation. Yet his body was just not having any of it. It could not handle the pressure his mind was under, and he couldn't hold back the torrent of emotions that were overwhelming him. He'd at least be able to control his tongue and not say something stupid, and yet, 

    "I-I'm scared!" 

    He wanted to kick himself in the face as that slipped out of him, making him sound like the kid he looked like. He didn't know any of these ponies, he didn't know if showing weakness like this could be a problem or not. This stupid body didn't care about any of that as it quaked in place surrounded by all those eyes on him, so many big eyes from creatures he had never seen before until just recently. Creatures like the one he had turned into. There was so much he just didn't understand. 

    "I don't know what's happening at all! I barely even know what we are! I don't know anything I'm supposed too and I could get captured again! IS THAT WHY THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE HERE?! ARE YOU TRYING TO CATCH ME OFF GUARD AGAIN?!"  

    He didn't even catch his slip up with calling them people instead of ponies. His nerves and mind were on full fight or flight mode at this point. It was clear he didn't mean what he was saying in a rude or aggressive way, he was genuinely terrified of there being so many ponies surrounding him. With how worked up he was it was a miracle he hadn't fainted from the over excitement. Boulder was aware enough to be alarmed that he went that far though. Alarmed enough that tears started flowing out of his eyes that darted around the room in fright. His body was violently trembling. It was a wonder he hadn't made a break for the door.

  6. @Windy Breeze 🥧 Boulder is having a bit of a panic attack at the moment. He just recently had a very harrowing experience being enslaved by the Diamond Dogs, and so far nopony has actively decried what the Diamond Dogs did. They just accepted it as a fact of life, which bothered Boulder's modern human sensibilities a lot. Then he hears this pony he's with has servants, and one of them is actually named Server, and he's wondering if the ponies are going to try to do to him what the Diamond Dogs did. It's not entirely rational thought, but his youthful body and the previous trauma are not really able to process his situation in an objective way. 

    I'm not sure how you want to PLAY this on your end. I'd imagine from your characters perspective she invited him into her home and brought out some sandwiches and suddenly he's panicking. Perhaps he wasn't as well as the doctors thought? It's however you want to play it. Boulder's been keeping his thoughts and feelings close to his chest in this new world, but all of his body clues that I left should be plainly readable to other characters.

    “Server, sir” Server said politely “I work for Ms. Delight” she remain in her place, standing like a guard except she actually show emotions “I consider you lucky, Delight decided to let you stay in her house. Me and the other servants will serve both of you” she told him.

    Sundae soon came back with two trays floating beside her. The tray consist of 12 sandwiches with cheese, pickles, lettuce, tomato, and daisies. The other tray consists of 12 ice creams. She set them down on the table “Server, call in the other servants” Server obeyed and went up the second floor. 

    Boulder gulped at the name of The servant. A pony who was actually named Server? How did that happen? Was she renamed or was she given that name as a foal? Does that mean she was meant to be a servant? There was way too much that Boulder did not know and it was putting him visibly on edge. That was only heightened when the ostentatious tray was placed down before him with all the sandwiches and ice cream. With how his mind had been brewing and over examining everything, he was half expecting this to be some kind of trap. Was she going to capture him like the Diamond Dogs did and make him a servant? When was the other shoe going to drop? The anxiety was becoming visibly apparent as Sundae called for more of her servants. How many of them were there? What were they planning on doing? Sure it seemed like the sandwiches were to share but what if that was just a ruse? 

    His eyes scanned around for the door, taking note of it as he felt himself start to grow more panicked. He didn't know anything about these ponies, how many of them were in this building, what their intentions were, none of it. He tried to keep himself calm, but his body was having a hard time managing his own turbulent thoughts and it was manifesting in his body starting to shake as he pressed himself against the couch. That horn could stop him from running away. It could snag him right up off the ground if he made a break for it and then he'd be in trouble for sure then. Even as he thought that it was was starting to get hard to remember to breathe. He had been subconsciously holding his breath off and on since Server mentioned her name. 

    As much as he'd like to think he was keeping his growing panic under control, his youthful features and body language were screaming otherwise. Even his coat looked like it was standing on end.

    “I see” Sundae opened the door with her magic allowing her, Boulder, and the servant to come in. Even though the house look simple in the outside, the living room however is so diffirent. The walls are colored in dark brown which could remind someone of dark chocolate. Their was a light brown couch, a rectangle glass table facing a red chimney on the left by the doorway which leads to the kitchen. Behind the couch is the staircase. The color of the wood remained untouched, but the center of it is covered by a round  blue carpet with red stripes. On the wall opposite to them has a rectangle family frame hanging with several what it seems to be Sundae's family posing for the unseen camera with joyful smiles.

    Boulder was surrounding by a raspberry red aura as he was set down on the couch “I'll go make some sandwiches at the kitchen. If you need anything, tell it to her” she said, referring to the servant who shut the door. 

    The first time he had been lifted up by magic, it had been a disorienting experience. The closest thing he could compare it to was being selected on a computer screen and dragged around, but in real life. Whatever it was didn't constrict his movements normally, but it was perfectly capable of making his limbs and body position itself in different ways if it was stronger than he was, or if he didn't fight the manipulation. It didn't feel like much of anything, though he could see it highlighting his and hear the strange sounds it made. After a few times the novelty wore off, and now he found it rather annoying. These horned ponies could just yank him off the ground and plop him wherever they wanted whenever they felt like. He'd need to spend some time figuring a way around that. 

    The house itself looked ostentatious, but more than that it looked so normal. It was almost Eerie how similar they were to humans. Their furniture, their hospitals, their buildings, they all bore striking resemblance to human craft. The couch he was sitting in had arm rests for crying out loud. These ponies don't even have arms! Perhaps they knew bipedal creatures? That could explain some of this, perhaps there were other species that were more human shaped than ponies were, and their architecture was made to be easily accessible to everyone. Or perhaps They imported the architecture sense from someplace else. 

    "Whats your name?" He asked the maid, breaking the silence in the room after he had been lost in his train of thought. He didn't want to broach the topic of servitude just yet, since if it was anything like his home reality it was probably a sensitive subject.

    Sundae nodded “Don't worry. While you try to regain your memories, you will stay at my place” she told him. They were now standing in front of a two-storey house, looking as simple like the others. Standing by the front door is a pony wearing a expensive-looking black and white dress. She bowed at Sundae's presence. 

    “Welcome home, my lady” Server said. 

    Sundae nodded before looking at Boulder “Are you hungry, Boulder?” 

    This pony has a servant? in what capacity? Is the servant like an employee or is slavery legal in this reality? This person seemed to be some sort of maid but he couldn't rule out that there was at least some type of indentured servitude going on. He had no familiarity at all with this world or its laws. For the most part they seem fairly modernized but that did not mean they couldn't have slavery. The Diamond Dogs sure had the practice, and none of the ponies batted an eye at the idea of him being enslaved by them. None of the doctors, not even Sundae. So it wasn't so out of the ordinary to be outrageous. He'd have to be mindful of this going forward, though it did make him tense a bit at the thought that these ponies might have the same practices. He wasn't sure if he could escape as easily from the horned ones especially, since he had no idea what they could do. For all he knew they could just be limited to telekinesis, or they could have a wide swath of powers. 

    He finally shook himself out of those thoughts as he nodded to the question, "Uh, Yes I am actually." He had been given a sandwich and some water in the hospital when he had awoken. No meat to speak of on it, and it was packed with vegetation, but it had tasted surprisingly good on his palate. His former body probably would have found the offering practically inedible considering it had had stuff like flowers in it, but it actually hit the spot at the time. Now however his stomach growled to attention the second the word "hungry" was uttered.

    I do not know nor am I interested what that drama was about, but can you tell me how her personal attacks against a creator makes her *less invested* in the fandom as a whole? Because that is what it seems like you are implying here. To me it looks like you are writing her off as uneducated because she did something bad and you don't like her. I don't agree with your statement of her "shitting on the fandom". The whole video is delivered more like a nostalgic love-letter from my perspective.

    As I said, fandoms don't simply die. On paper. There will always be those who stick around no matter the state of the media. I did not say it is dead as soon as there is no "vast rapid growth". A fandom can have its growth slowed down but still be highly relevant and present. What I am saying is that if you are going to judge whether a fandom is "dying", then do so by looking at its overall activity. "Activity" includes fan-made content such as those things you mentioned. As there are no "minimum requirements" you have to set those for yourself. Everyone has their own views on what "dead" is and what is not. For me, a factor would be heavily declining growth and activity. "No vast rapid growth" and "heavily declining growth" are obviously not the same. Of course these are subjective numbers but the former would indicate the fandom is out of its golden era so to speak and the latter would be a state where the community is barely growing at all. I am not saying a fandom is dead once it is out of its "golden era".

    Now that we have that all cleared up let me reply to some stuff.

    1. I did not say the fandom is dead. I said the brony phenomenon is dead, referring to the period of attention to the fandom. I did say the fandom is dying, and as far as I can tell this seems to be the case from my own subjective view. Attracting new fans or not, I am not seeing any noticeable growth. And even if the participation among fans is still there, there is a noticeable decrease in numbers.

    2. It is a numbers game. Of course it is. The percentage threshold I was talking about is not supposed to mean that I see a fandom as dead when only 10% of the fans are left. It's supposed to be an arbitrary number. I am thinking like a sum of all the fans, creations, discussions etc by the fandom. Its activity if you will. Like I said.

    3. The convention is growing because the convention is growing, not necessarily because the fandom is. Maybe the brony fandom is growing and all the new fans have just gone under my radar. I don't know. I'm just sharing my observations really. Even if so would be the case, there is in my mind no denying that the community is becoming less relevant and less active, even if fan creations are still being made.

     

    Yours truly is and have been a part of many fandoms, I know very well how they work. There's no need to get all upset about it and use passive aggressive phrasing. I have a different opinion than you and that's all there is to it, buddy.

    I do see the point people are making about the whole "fandom being dead" thing being inaccurate when you put it like that. As long as SOMEONE is creating pony material and someone is enjoying it then it's still chugging along.  You feel that especially in stuff like Anime, where an anime loses relevance in the broader community within a season nowadays unless it becomes a phenomenon in its own right like One Punch Man or something. There are obscure anime that still have people into them, but they just have a very small following.

    After passing the arcade, Sundae and Boulder passed a few more houses and business, including a jewelry store which could normall caught the attention of a wealthy pony, but Sundae ignored it all, knowing everything around them are nothing but useless since Boulder is just a colt and he doesn't need to buy such expensive gems.

    As they get closer to their destination, there were no longer shops or restaurants, only the second storey houses are left.

    “I'm very curious how you didn't remember anything other than being attacked. Can you remember anything about your family or the name of the place where you are born?” Sundae asked. 

    Boulder shook his head at that, which wasn't technically a lie. As far as the body he was currently in was concerned, it began in that strange deserted place before getting captured by Diamond dogs. This body he had didn't have parents he could think of, and he certainly didn't know the name of that rocky place he started in. 

    "What I remember and don't remember is strange and jumbled. I know the what some things are called, I know my own name, and I probably know other stuff that isn't coming to mind. But there are other things I don't understand or remember at all. "

    He had confessed in the hospital to a doctor that he hadn't even known that he was a pony, and thought that a Diamond dog was just insulting him at the time. He also seemed genuinely confused and taken aback by stuff like horn magic or how pegasi could fly in the air. He was trying to keep a low profile and not give away something that could get him in danger, but he simply did not know enough about the world to be sure he could keep deceptions going. It would only take one of these strange magical creatures having the ability to peer into his mind to blow his cover, and then he wasn't sure what they'd do. He dreaded the idea of being taken away to some lab for experiments or some equally horrific idea like that. The ponies so far had been nice, but he knew from his home reality that this could change on a dime.

    Calling someone out on their bs isn't disturbing, it's called doing the right thing.

    Pretty much why I replied in the first place so touche' lol

    Quote

    Greg left the fandom on a better note than she did. Greg was also able to use his talents to get a good career outside of the fandom, buy his own home, and start his own family. What has she done? 

    Grew an incredibly successful youtube channel with over 500k subscribers that had pretty much nothing to do with pony and thrives off her own persona. 
    Also owns her own home last I checked.

    Are you trying to imply that I'm being sexist or something? Cuz I'm not. I just don't want to type out her long-ass name "Jenny Nicholson" every single time I want to mention her, so I call her lady. If it was a guy who made the video I would probably just call him "some random dude". I hate to break it to you, but not everything is some vast anti-women conspiracy. 

     

    Question; how many letters does the name "Jenny" have in it? Now I may be mistaken here, but I do believe it has the SAME amount of letters as the word LADY, and it doesn't come with the dreaded implications. However if you want to dance around in Plausible deniability land I'm not gonna stop ya.

    If anything, this one is just as bad. Instead of presenting the fandom in an overly good-mushy light like the De Lancie one, this one is just cold and condescending. Neither are "good" documentaries on our fandom.  

    Again, didn't get that read at all. She presented what she enjoyed in the fandom and what she didn't, and she leaned far more into the positive than she did in the negative. Now if you want to talk about someone with an ax to grind against the fandom I'd probably pull up someone like Lily Orchard or Drowning in Horseshoes. Now THERE was people who went right to the jugular of the darker side of this fandom. Jenny's retrospective is far kinder than either of those by a mile. Also I think you're just reading "condescending" out of her normal delivery. That's just how she talks. It's dry humor.

     Also her video looks like it's going to be taken down anyways by vendors from the vendor hall which she filmed without their permission. If she really did "have good views of the fandom" and "this video wasn't a take-down of the fandom" she would gotten a press-pass to film in the vendor hall with permission, or she should have asked the vendors whom she was filming first if it was okay for her to film. She could have done things the right way, but she didn't. Her disregard for this and her condescending tone during that segment and her statements at the end of the video makes it clear that she dislikes this fandom and has no regard for the people within it. Why you would defend someone like this is beyond me.               

    She Did talk to the staff before she filmed. From the way she tells it, the rules were against non consensual pictures of Cosplayers and pictures of fanart that could be printed/replicated. It did not bar recording in that public space, as I'm sure a Youtube search for videos of Bronycon Vendors that WEREN'T touched on youtube would confirm. Nah this is someone being butthurt exploiting Youtubes already exploitable systems to lash out. 

    As far as Defending goes, I mean she's her own person who can defend herself just fine, I'm just more taken aback by the vitriolic defensiveness you had towards that video. It really was NOT that bad.

    I don't honestly think she knows what she's talking about, she left the fandom years ago, comes back for ONE convention and this is all like "yep lol the fandom will be dead after this one con ends and no cons will be coming back after corona lol" like excuse me? Lady do you even realize that this years Trotcon had completely sold out TWO hotels? The amount of online cons this year also proves that cons aren't dying and so far they all plan on returning in 2021, her failure to realize that the fandom is bigger than just Bronycon proves her ignorance. 

    Also it appears later on in the video that she blames Bronies for Hasbro changing what ponies are released and how the ponies are made, which literally isn't true at all, I know that because I sat in on the Ex-Con Chair of Nightmare Nights Dallas and he said that he used to go to every single quarterly Hasbro stock meeting to hear how the franchise is doing, and he learned by sitting in on these meetings that money from Bronies only make up 2%-5% of the MLP franchise's profit. That amount is a tiny drop in the bucket because all the other money that the franchise makes comes from little girls or their parents. Bronies are essentially non-existent when it comes to the financial success of MLP. There's no way that Hasbro was making all sorts of production changes because the Bronies were demanding so, that's just fake news. 

    Additionally this is the same lady who also went after Greg from Dawn Somewhere, aka that dude who made all the Rainbow Dash Presents videos back in the day, and her woke little mob of friends tear him apart because she thought that he was "misogynist" (which he wasn't, none of the "accusations" had any real evidence behind them) it was more of her just giving him the metaphorical middle finger and saying "get fucked". 

    The part where she rants on and on about how much she dislikes body pillows being displayed at cons was just fucking stupid, I felt like I lost some brain cells during that segment. As long as something isn't explicitly R-rated, it's fine to hang up. Just because your not a big fan of body pillows doesn't mean that they need to banned from being sold at all cons, also a VAST majority of con attendees aren't children to begin with. While there are children at Brony cons, they are a very small minority of the amount of con attendees that show up, and again, as long as a body pillow isn't R-rated, is there really any issue with hanging them up to be sold? The reason there's so many body pillows in the first place is because the Brony community has a lot of guys in it, and guys are more likely to want a body pillow compared to girls. Body pillows are also prominent in a lot of other communities too, such as the anime community, and you'll find them at those other types of cons too. She also seems to make the assumption that every person who buys one of those pillows is gonna do something sexual to it, which isn't the case. (That might be the case for the explicit body pillows but we're just talking the SFW ones like shown in the video) Most people who would buy a body pillow would get one because they can't afford a custom plush and they just want something to snuggle with at night, it doesn't mean that every single person who buys one is some creep who wants to have sex with the pony on it. Even LittleshyFIM has a few body pillows, and he hates sexual pony stuff.  

    I don't honestly care what some random person who's been gone from the fandom for quite some time thinks about us now. She chose to leave, and what she thinks honestly doesn't matter. She can say that this fandom is dead until she's blue in the fucking face, it won't change the fact that we're not dead and that we're still constantly attracting new people. Just take a look at the new members that are always making new topics in the welcoming plaza right here on the forums. While it's true that the pony fandom isn't as big or quite as influential on the outside society as it used to be, that doesn't mean that we're just dead. I think she was being clouded by her past experiences in the early days of the fandom, and coming back now after so much time I suppose I could see how she would have a very pessimistic point of view for the future of this community. Ultimately though, it doesn't matter. You'll always have the neigh-sayers like her trying to make themselves feel better by tearing down others and communities that they've effectively washed their own hands of, and that's fine, let them be mad that we still exist. Pony until the end of time! :catface:       

    I don't think I've seen a post as near cult like and defensive as this in a LONG time. Rather disturbing to look at honestly. 

    Starting from the first paragraph, She's talking about HER experience and opinion of the fandom. How would one not know would their own opinion is? She also didn't "leave the fandom." She's been a fan of the Broader My Little Pony Franchise nearly her whole life. Bronies have been around a fraction of the time the broader pony fandom has been. In terms of Seniority (not that I particularly care about that) she'd have the floor. I'm also noting you're going out of your way to point out that she's, ya know, a Lady, which I'm sure is completely unrelated to why you're so irritated here. 

     She pointed out that the toylines changed over the course of the shows run, and that the show itself had a lot of Brony injokes in it. That's far from "fake news" that's just what happened. The show did have a lot of brony injokes in it in later seasons, including Episode 100 which was one of the bigger instances of that. Now I enjoyed that personally more than she did, but it's perfectly fine for it not to be her tastes. I do not have such a loyalty to the show where any and all negative opinions towards an episode from a supposed "outsider" (again, been a pony fan longer than probably anyone here) who just so HAPPENS to be a "LADY" must be met with scorn. 

    I do recall something to that effect happening with Greg, and if she indeed do that when she was younger then yeah that was probably wrong. I'd definitely like to hear both sides on that whole thing now that a few years have gone by. I am quite a big fan of his Mentally advanced series and I do think it ended up being funnier than Friendship is Witchcraft. Consequently I know that Greg ALSO had a TON of misgivings towards the later seasons of the show much like Jenny had. In fact he was quite critical of the direction the show went and I'm not even sure he does pony stuff anymore. Far more critical than Jenny was in this video now that I think about it. Are you going to have a multi paragraph takedown of him leaving the fandom as well? Just curious. 

    She didn't rant "against" body pillows, she literally had one right there beside her. She finds the whole practice amusing. That's part of her whole sense of humor. Now she DID have a problem about depictions of Underage ponies on body pillows, and she did say that they should probably show more restraint with what they hang up when there ARE kids at the event. As you say they aren't the majority of people attending, but even if they're a tiny minority of attendees, kids are still there and the vendors should be mindful of that. That's the point she made and I honestly don't think that's an unreasonable one. As far as the sexual angle, I'm sure the truth is somewhere in the middle between yours and Jenny's opinions. Cause that's what these are, opinions. If anything she was EXCEEDINGLY generous with her treatment of this side of the fandom, cause I can point out far more damning stuff in this fandom than some silly body pillows. 

    This was not a tear down video, honestly I'm not sure how anyone could watch this and come out with that conclusion. If anything this was the most positive take in a pony doc I've seen. Certainly better than that De Lancie one which, like Jenny pointed out, made Bronies look like infantalized men who cannot function in broader society and learn life lessons from a childrens cartoon, and are also REALLY scared of being called gay. She doesn't like the more Toxic segments of the fandom of course, but she expressed having a lot of fun at the cons and enjoyed the memes and stuff like the "plush based clout culture." If she tore down anything it was Gatekeeping misogyny that was (and is) present in the fandom, but that's not an indictment as a fandom as a whole just the bad actors within it.  

    Also she's far from a random person. Her work is pretty baked into Early brony culture, hell you still see parodies and remixes of her songs even outside of the fandom and I still see stuff like Sweetie Bot every now and again. Ultimately, I didn't see anything in that video worth getting THAT defensive over.

    Can't they just blur out that bit oof

    I imagine she could reupload it after the fact with some edit of that nature but it's still friggin annoying. That was one of her best videos and definitely the best Brony Doc I've seen and some petulant knob goes and gets her video removed because of a couple seconds of video where he was in public. Very irritating to say the least.

    Sundae mentally lifted an eyebrow at the usual word, but the said word do make sense since he's only speaking to her and nopony else. She let the unusual word pass with questioning him.

    “Sure” she used her magic to levitate him onto her back “I don't want to tire you since you just got here from walking in the wild”

    It took them a few minutes to get out of the hospital because all she did is wave at the patients and doctors and nurses they come across. They pass a building which Sundae come to know as the arcade, which is not far away from the hospital. 

    “You might come asking why we are here. I always use this street to come to my house after buying some medicine” she explained. There were some ponies on the street having a conversation or going in or out of the arcade. 

    There was no way to sit upon Sundaes back that was dignified. When he had been initially plopped onto her he was draped over her back like he were a saddle, and facing forward didn't much help either. If he were human shaped he'd just be able to sit upright like normal, but given how his body was quadrupedal all he could do is just lay his belly on her and drape his legs over the sides. No matter how he adjusted he just couldn't find a position that felt less embarrassing feeling. 

    When he finally did just give in to his current situation he had a chance to take in his surroundings. Sure enough there was an arcade loudly broadcasting its presence to the world. He wondered what kind of video games ponies would come up with? Why did they design buildings so similar to humans? As he looked around he noticed that there was no consistency with where technology had developed. They appeared to have modern sensibilities in terms of architecture, yet there wasn't a cellphone or car in sight. The clothing ponies did wear was all over the place from his understanding. Everything from lavish frilly dresses from centuries past to modern feeling attire could be seen on the few ponies who wore clothes at all. There was no cohesive style to speak of. The whole place felt put together by a patchwork of different eras. It didn't make sense to him, and the confusion was visible on his face.

  16. Love me some Jenny Nicholson. I didn't actually know she worked on Friendship is Witchcraft till a long time after I had started watching her. I dig her fun obsession with theme parks and her revelry in all things badly made. I watched that mini documentary when she posted it and it was quite informative of the Con culture end of the fandom (never went to a Con personally). I'm a bit disappointed to hear John De Lancie is a jerk IRL, but that's also kind of expected with celebrities. I'm glad she tore that documentary he did a new one, cause honestly I didn't much care for it at the time either.

    Shadow pondered for a right decision. Sundae was a kind mare, but she hadn't known her entirely, and how will Boulder react when he found out he was going to stay in a rich mare's house? She hoped Sundae gave him freedom but not too much to ensure his safety. On the other hoof, since Sundae is rich, Boulder have no problems with food and water. 

    “Alright” She decided to let Boulder stay with Sundae “Good luck, Sundae” she turn to Keen “Let's go, Keen” Keen nodded. They left, leaving behind Sundae and Boulder.

    “So, what do you want to go, Boulder?” Sundae asked him “Do you want to go to the library? or the arcade? Or to my house?” 

    He thought about it for a second. He decided that he'd weigh his options after he saw this pony's residence. Depending on what was available it could end up being advantageous to live with her. With that in mind he spoke his decision out loud. 

    "I'd like to see what your home is like Ms. Delight." He said with what he hoped was a nice smile, "Maybe on the way something might jog my memories a little bit. Its kinda frustrating not knowing things that everyone else knows." 

    He mentally kicked himself for not using their version of everyone, everypony. He remembered almost directly after he had spoken that they said stuff like that, though he wasn't entirely sure why.
