Looks really neat! Though the hair is sorta forming a heart and it's a bit distracting to be entirely honest. That's just me though. Haha. It's pretty cool otherwise!

Alright, I'm gonna supply you with some of the greatest names for a cat. 1. Dr Evil 2. Dog 3. Cat 4. AWWW WOOK AT DA WITTLE KITTY!! 5. Snoop Catt 6. Purrfect 7. Kit-Kat 8. Conseula 9. Bill 10. Catnip 11. Catnis (Even though I hate the Hunger Games) 12. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner based on preference 13. Any number. (e.g. 34, 45, 2.534) 14. C47 That is all I can think of right now. You'll probably not even take any of these into consideration but I'm still gonna post this.

Bittersweet nodded as Red Cask answered her question. "Alright. Thank you." She said with gratitude. Bittersweet took a pause as she pondered what she was going to do. There were so many options to choose from. "I sort of want to go and set up my alchemy set in that kitchen the steward told me about. But I could tag along with Scribble to the theater and see that magician... or I could go to the library here with Emerald. Perhaps they have some books on herbalism here that I haven't already read." The pony contemplated the possible choices to herself, putting her hoof on her chin while doing so. "Though I do rather enjoy magic, and I would love to do some alchemy, I think I'd rather check the library first off.... maybe. I mean, I'd like to meet that magician mare. Maybe she's cute." BThe pink mare violently shook her head back and forth for a second in an attempt to erase the thought of the magician being cute. "Bitter. The time for ogling cute mare's will come later. For now, you should probably get accustomed to this place." She scolded herself. Though, upon looking at the crowd her eyes caught the eyes of Emerald looking right at her. Though she looked at everyone Bitter noticed she looked at her for what seemed like only a fraction of a second longer. @, "Does she want me to go with her?" Bittersweet questioned. "She did look at me a bit longer. Though she might've done that with other ponies too. Though it'd be rude if I didn't go with her if she actually does want me to go with her." The bright blue maned pony speculated in her head. "Yeah, I'll go with her. She's nice after all. Plus they might have some books on the local flora here. That'd be pretty neat." "Her Em-Emerald. I'll tag along with you to the library." Bitter informed the black coated mare as she trotted up next to her and smiled shyly.

Cool plane, bro Well then what was it? Don't leave us hanging, man!!

Exactly $13.37 Why? Because I'm just that Leet.

That's so cute. :3 But as for a name... The first name I thought of was Lemon Lime because of the color scheme but that doesn't even make any sense. Haha. Also You're a blank flank.. but this pony has a flank.. Illuminati confirmed?

@, Wheatley! It's me, Spectre. If you don't mind I'd like to make another request(s), though this one is rather big. If it's too much to ask then just say, haha. Alright, anyway, I would like it if you would do a few drawings for me. Just an F.Y.I., The male pony (his name is Silver Tongue). Silver Tongue's cutie mark is a silver tongue tangled inside of spider webs. I couldn't find a picture of that anywhere online so if you can't draw it just leave it blank. I can live with that. DRAWING ONE: I would like it if you'd draw these two in this base, please. No catches on this one. The two ponies I'd like drawn... In this pose please. --------------------------------------------------------- DRAWING TWO: This is where it's gonna get a bit more... well.. specific... I'd like to have this stallion drawn with this base. HOWEVER I'd like it if you'd add one thing to it as well... a masquerade mask. A reference picture will be posted below. Pony Base (Please flip it horizontally so the left side of his face is showing. Also remove the horn and wings please.) And the masquerade mask if you're up to it. (If you are, it doesnt need to be with a lot of detail. It can be simple and all that jazz. I just need it to cover most of the left side of his face and be white in color. The eye hole doesn't need to fit eye size. Just make it look good if you try it.) Alright! Thats about it! Thanks! <3

Bittersweet glanced out the window to see that the once grim and dark forest had been replaced by a expansive patch of land that, far off in the distance, she could see Bloodwell. As the carriage continued to move closer she could begin to make out the rather luminous architecture of the village. It gave Bittersweet a bit of a creeping suspicion but nothing to really put her on the edge. Soon the carriage came to a stop inside of the town square. The door opened and a pony who greeted himself as Red Cask was there. This pony spoke in a monotone and acted just like the butlers that Bitter would read about in her books. He claimed to be the steward of Bloodwell and went on to explain the layout of the town as well as any precautions that it's visitors should take while staying here. Bitter was rather upset about the curfew. She'd of loved to be able to take a walk through the city at night. Bitter listened intently, however, not wanting to forget where someplace was and risk the embarrassment that would come from asking where someplace as later. @@SilverHeart, Not many of the places spoke out to Bittersweet all that much. She was rather curious about the theater, however. Along with that she also wondered if there was someplace she could set up her alchemy set. With these questions in mind she took a step forward and questioned the stallion in the shy and sheepish tone of voice she first used when she began conversing with the ponies on the carriage. She also was interested to know if there was something along the lines of a garden anywhere in this town. "I.. Um. Have a few questions." She began, trying not to stutter. "Is there a garden or something similar to one here?" Bittersweet paused for a spell as she collected herself. "My last question is, well, is there anywhere I could possibly set up my alchemy equipment? Preferably someplace with a small stove or burner?" She inquired with a much more urgent curiosity. (Edit: Didn't read the part about the magician at the theater.)

I play fifty/fifty on reddit... casually. If you don't know what fifty/fifty is... well... Either you're super lucky, or your missing out on some grade A suspense.

@, As she spoke to the tan stallion Bittersweet heard a calm voice of a mare speak to her. Bitter turned her head to see the voice came from a beautiful mare whose coat was black as night and mane a shadowy violet. Her crepuscular hazel eyes looked at Bittersweet, almost swooning her entirely, even though the gaze probably wasn't meant to have a seductive effect. Thankfully, the remark about teaching her niece the difference between an elixir and an explosion sent Bittersweet into somewhat of a shy nerd out. "Well, an elixir is a magic or medicinal potion such as cold medicine, though some elixirs have been said to prolong a ponies life. An explosive, on the other hand, well, put bluntly it explodes." The pink mare rambled on, seeming to continuously ramble on about her work during this carriage ride. "One of the most interesting examples of an explosive mixture is mixing old playing cards, cardboard, water, and of course heat to act as the catalyst. Though this kind of explosive is HIGHLY dangerous and unpredictable. It is quite handy if you have the materials and the reason to use them." She just continued to talk, her words carrying a burning passion with them. Clearly showing the ponies love for her work. "Pardon my rambling, by the way. I'm quite chatty today it seems." She apologized, her once sheepish attitude dispersing quickly as she grew more accustomed to the environment as well as being in a more-or-less one on one conversation. The black mare remarked that it must be quite the feat to do what Bitter does considering all the pressure and responsibility that befalls upon her. "I don't really ever feel pressured. My mixtures never fail, and when they do, I always have a back up handy." Bitter remarked with a rather confident voice. Bitter soon realized she hadn't even introduced herself to the other female unicorn yet. Speaking of mixtures the mare had asked if the pink unicorn carried any medicine with her on this trip. "I have a few elixirs that help cure acute ailments like head-aches or stomach-aches. However I did bring a small and portable alchemy kit along with a few common ingredients so if the need arises I could cook something up." The no-longer so timid mare responded to the attractive unicorn. "You see, Bittersweet. You're doing great. Just had to get into the groove of things is all." Bitter thoughtfully reinforced herself with a excited zeal.

(shortish post :c) @@Scribblegroove, After hearing the stallions remark about "seeing things" outside, Bittersweet couldn't help herself but to take a quick glance herself, though she didn't see anything aside from the forest that was there before. "He's probably just seeing things." Bitter thought to herself before turning her gaze back to the stallion, who seemed slightly distressed. "Though if that's the case he certainly believes he saw something." She silently assessed in her head. Bitter was about to attempt to console the brown maned pony but before she could even open her mouth he started to talk about his job. The stallion claimed to be a musician. A jazz musician to be precise. "A musician. Classy." Bitter complimented the man. Though she wasn't really a fan of jazz music. She much rather preferred techno, trance or electronic music. "I've never heard of you, though. Probably because I don't really like jazz all that much." She informed nonchalantly. "I've always been more into electronic, or trance. Mostly music by DJ-PON3." The pink pony began to ramble on, losing track of what she was saying and zoning out almost completely. "I mean, she is pretty cute. I don't know about you but her hair just makes me want to--" The ranting pony paused as she snapped back into reality, realizing she was just starting to gush about what was her celebrity crush. That seemingly never vanishing blush in full force. "She makes good music..." She quickly finished, not wanted to draw anymore attention than she already had to the subject. The stallion also mentioned he had "invented" a new spell and that this spell could "...conjure magic out of thin air." This caused Bittersweet to under go a quick confusion before almost forcefully questioning the other unicorn about this. "Um... How exactly does a spell conjure magic from thin air? I don't understand." Bitter asked in a curious tone, the blush residing to a feint pink once more. The stallion, who was previously bombarding her with information about himself then went onto the offensive, questioning Bittersweet. The stallion seemed bewildered at the fact this mare was an apothecary in Ponyville. "Yeah, sort of. I opened it about a year ago, though I've been doing alchemy since I was about... ten or so." She began informing the musician. "I don't get a lot of visitors to be quite honest. The only time someone really comes to me immediately is if it's an emergency. Otherwise they place an order for what potion, tonic, or whatever they need. I create said whatever they need and ship it."

I have an image I've been saving for a thread just like this one...

(I got REALLY carried away with this post. I apologize for the length and if it starts to get rambling or just seem like there's filler in it.) After a spell Bittersweet failed to hear any rude responses from anyone. In fact, most of the ponies seemed to not even notice. Only two ponies made any verbal response to Bittersweet's sudden introduction. Bittersweet was actually rather relieved that almost nopony had noticed, or cared about her outburst, and even more relieved that the ones who did weren't ridiculing Bittersweet for it. "See Bittersweet, they're nice. You have nothin' to worry about." Bitter reassured herself with the evidence. With this relief Bittersweet opened her eyes and looked back at the crowd, most of which were holding other conversations. Her nerves returning to her Bittersweet quickly got the courage the respond to the ponies who had greeted themselves back. @, The pony who introduced herself as Sunset Glow seemed really nice and her words had a very calming aura attached to them as they left her lips. "It's a pleasure to meet you as well." Bitter said, only tripping over herself once or twice. Her tone still quiet and clearly not using as much energy as she could. Bitter couldn't help but like this mare. She was quite kind and clearly wasn't scared off by the pink coated ponies anti-social exterior. @@Scribblegroove, Bitter turned to the pony next to her and saw him smiling. It appeared that the basil had worked extremely quickly, which brought a smile to Bitter's face. The stallion seemed sincere in each word he spoke and also seemed quite intelligent considering he was able to tell she was an alchemist from her cutie mark. Bitter's posture eased up extremely and her words began to sound not so sheepish when she spoke to the tan coat stallion. "Yes, actually." Bittersweet confirmed the other unicorns accusation. "I'm an apothecary in Ponyville." With each comforting statement the stallion said the more Bitter began to grow a fondness for this unicorn. "See Bittersweet, it's easy to make friends." She thought to herself happily. However her happiness turned into a bit of overconfidence once the compliment about her being "really good" at being an apothecary. Letting this get to her head a bit too fast she smiled and said in a tad bit of a cocky tone "Thank you." She paused for a moment as she chuckled a bit. "I get that a lot, to be honest." Soon after she said this she realized how much of a snob she sounded like she recoiled a bit back to her sheepish tone. "Well, not THAT often, really." She counter-argued her previous statement. "I mean that family who came in from Los Pegasus who had their sick foal didn't say I was great." She paused for a moment before she counter-argued her counter-argument "Actually I think they said I was amazing... BUT THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT! I'm just.. okay at what I do!" Bittersweet demanded to the stallion before putting on a nervous grin. In a desperate attempt to change the subject she quickly spoke out in a hasty and nervous voice, "What you do for living? ... Er.. I mean... What do you do as a job? For a job." The pink pony tripped over her words, each mistake splashing the next shade of pink blush onto her face. It was then when the carriage slowly began to get darker and darker. Bittersweet was never too bothered by darkness but it seemed to strange how the tree's were able to block out the sun so well. It was as if the windows were covered by a black blanket. If it weren't for the lanterns that Wagon Wheel lighted a bit later it wouldn't of been a stretch that dark quilts were draped over the windows. However, once the lanterns were lit they illuminated the forest outside quite well. Vines and vicious overgrowth covered the flora like an infection. Looking out the window, Bitter wondered where in Equestria they were headed. "I've never seen a forest quite this... 'forest-y' before." The pink coated unicorn thought to herself. Since the wagon was so smooth she couldn't tell when it turned without looking out the window. It was both disorienting and somewhat exciting to her. She'd never feared new places, in fact she enjoyed them. They often introduced her to new ingredients she could use in her alchemy. However her thoughts of what she could concoct with these new ingredients was short-lived as the cabin erupted with some kind of mini argument. Bitter hadn't been paying the most of attention so she didn't really know what the argument was about, though she knew she'd rather not be a part of it. So in an attempt to distract everypony from the tension she decided to reply to the earlier question about ghost stories. @, "I'm okay with ghost stories." The unicorn informed the other mare, who was attempted to relax everypony else. The normally shy Bitter's voice wasn't as shy as it previously was. It was much more demanding and straight forward, almost as if she was forcing the mare to tell a story, though regardless it was still spoken with Bittersweet's soft-spoken tone and didn't seem all that threatening. "I've always like them anyways." She closed out with a grin. Though most would think she'd be the type to be scared off by these spooky stories, Bitter didn't really care much for them, not even when she was just a filly, though most of the horror stories she heard of she read off the white pages of a book. The stories she was verbally told, however, never phased her in the slightest. She was actually quite brave when it comes to ghost stories. The carriage moved on before it slowly came to a stop. The lanterns seemed to still be lit and it seemed obvious that they hadn't reached their destination just yet. Though the door soon opened and the driver informed the passengers that there was an obstruction on the road, though it would only be a short delay. "What kind of obstruction? Probably a fallen tree or something." Bitter told herself, though she couldn't help getting the creeping suspicion that it was something else. However, what really put Bittersweet into a curious mood was how the pony reminded the passengers not to leave the cabin. "Why aren't we allowed to leave the cabin? I mean, it's not like we're going to get lost or anything? The mare questioned the statement in her thoughts. "Why is it okay for him to be outside the cabin but not us? UGH! Stop overthinking things, Bittersweet! You'll be fine for pony's sake!" The blue haired mare scolded herself.

BRACE YOURSELVES! UNSTRUCTURED AND UNREHEARSED RANT INCOMING TL;DR: Nintendo is, and will always be, one of the greatest developers of all time. Nintendo is in no possible way "irrelevant". They might not be at the peak of popularity anymore like they were in the past but that doesn't mean they're not going out of style. Nintendo is all about being different, really. They're always the ones taking a lot of risks with their consoles. Hell, the WiiU is their first console with hardware advanced enough to handle graphics that the PS3 and Xbox360 could handle. DESPITE this, however, they've still make some of the greatest games of all time. The Zelda Series has one of the biggest fan-bases and for good reason. The worlds are always so interesting and immersing. The Mario platformers are also some of the greatest examples of game design that is nearly 100% perfect. They may strike out with a few choices but when they make a good one, it's never just good, it's out of the park, into the parking lot, and into the head of Activision's car. The WiiU also has Bayonetta 2, which is debateably one of the greatest action games ever made. (I personally think it's 2014's best game of the year.). Also it has Super Smash Bros WiiU. In all honesty I'm hoping that more developers give the WiiU a chance and try to put some games on it. It has some HUGE potential and if given the shot it'll have some insanely amazing games. I love Nintendo and I'm pretty sure they're not going anywhere anytime soon.
