  1. @Courageous Thunder Dash "Heh, his father reminds me of mine." Grovus snorted in response. "Always trying to push us to be something they themselves couldn't achieve, as though we're just puppets to be used for their own agendas. I know that feeling well... and you say Nitro is a street racer now? I guess he's still putting those talents to use in his own way." Grovus had never met somepony from the Equestrian street racing scene before. He had held little interest in such frivolous activities during his time in the Royal Guard. Yet if this Stallion had too gone through a path of darkness and come out the other side... "Yes. I would like to meet him." Grovus assertively nodded. "Maybe he can tell me his story."
  2. @Courageous Thunder Dash Grovus tried to take the young Griffon's words to heart, but he found it difficult to reconcile with the weight he felt within his own heart. But even so, one specific part of what Chelsea had said to him repeated in his mind: "It's up to you." Maybe she was right. Maybe he needed to stop thinking that those feelings controlled him, and instead took command of his own path, be the change he wanted to see. Why should he continue to feel hopeless about it? There was little else in his way except his own feelings. "Well, I know how it feels to stare death in the face." Grovus replied to Thundy. "For a while, I think I didn't really care if my life ended. I just carried on waiting for one of these jobs to be my last. I didn't know what else to live for." Hearing himself admit this made him feel shame and regret inside, but it was the truth. He had been troubled for a long time.

      When the night has come, and the land is dark, and the moon is the only light we'll see... No, I won't be afraid. No, I won't be afraid. Just as long as you stand, stand by me. :mlp_smug:

      Define what you mean by 'biscuits'. That word means different things internationally. :ooh:

      And you've always got friends to support you. :mlp_smug:

  9. Religious affiliation is certainly not the only factor that would influence whether I'd date someone or not. I probably wouldn't mind so long as it didn't become an actual point of contention between us. Of course, I would ideally like for my spouse to share my religious views, but it wouldn't necessarily be a deal breaker if every other box were ticked.
  10. What's that? It's Hearts and Hooves day tomorrow?! :love:

    I hope you have your ships all ready to sail. I want to see some heart-melting pairings from you all. :Daydreaming:

    And hey, if any Mares find themselves stuck for a Stallion to journey with, I might know of one! :mlp_icwudt:

    Except maybe a warm blanket to go with it. :mlp_icwudt:

      How about being fresh from a bath/shower and putting on clean pajamas before going to bed? :orly: Clean on clean on clean.

  16. @Courageous Thunder Dash Grovus listened intently to Chelsea's story. It sent a flurry of emotions running through his mind. She too had experienced a terrible event that left her troubled, and yet she had found a way to not let those feelings take control. She had overcome, and with it shone a light within the darkness. She was tired of the fighting, and could see how the other Griffons must have been tired too. Grovus... he had never really tried to consider the feelings of other Griffons. What sort of pain and hurt they could have been going through. Chelsea did, and she demonstrated that empathy through her actions to protect the others. Was this what it meant to have a pure heart? Was that something that existed within himself, too? "So your hybrid blood allows you to have a Cutie Mark?" Grovus said, impressed. "You're the closest I've seen to one of my kind possessing such. Everyone believed them to be only carried by Ponykind. Well, I suppose I've never met a Pony-Griffon hybrid before. Seems I still have much to learn about Equestria and her creatures." He chuckled, before making his voice more serious again. "I'm... sorry for what happened to you. You're obviously very strong to have not let it affect you as badly as it may have done. I can only wish I had such strength within me..."
  17. Don't forget your smiles out there! You've got this!

  18. Well, today started out a little... dramatic. With a brief trip to the hospital. :sealed:

    Clumsy Mr. Horse tripped on the stairs and got a sharp cut on my left hand. Fortunately the wound was superficial, but the bleeding was enough to make me go get it checked out. 3 hours later I was discharged with a bandaged, disinfected hand and an A-OK from the nurses. Just gonna have to keep an eye on it for the next few days, but they seem to think it should heal fairly quickly. Here's hoping! :awwthanks:

    How is everyone else today? :twi:

      I was recently reading a book that talked about how the stairs are the most dangerous part of the house, and how the majority of accidents in your life will probably occur on one. I guess life wanted to teach me that lesson for real. :Daydreaming:

      When you read a book so hard it becomes a reality. e-flutterwoo.png.3978ba24a4a0f29e4deff34b7988961f.png

      Yeah it's kinda interesting how seemingly "normal" thing that's pretty much everywhere is actually a big sneaky threat. I remember when I fell from stairs back when I was going to school. I literally tripped on the very first step and been rolling and bouncing around like in the movies 'till I hit the floor. I got away without any injuries whatsoever, but I bet it was hilarious to watch, it did take me a moment to get down like this after all. I like how it was loud due to everyone talking during the break-time and suddenly becoming dead quiet, because some comedian started doing his trick on the stairs. :ButtercupLaugh:But hey, everyone has their own ways of using stairs. e-twiwth.png.5878ad773cfe0efaf9dc8dc75763160a.png

       

      Either way, I'm glad it wasn't anything serious, wishing you a quick recovery! Also when nurses apply bandages, there's healing bonus due to their passive talents. :mlp_wink:

       

      And me, I'm doing fine. Nothing extraordinary, although I'm tired because I don't sleep well. :P 

  19. This is a good Friday.

    I mean, Fridays are always good, but this one is especially great! :ticking:

    So great, it calls for a Friday Shuffle and celebratory cup of tea. :love:
