I saw Doctor Strange yesterday and absolutely loved it. Honestly, the movie was quite incredible, with a great plot, amazing acting, and wonderful visuals. I'd certainly class it as one of my favorite movies, not just of 2016, but of all time! Although, I did have one or two gripes, which could be seen as something major to someone really looking for the strongest set of characters: a lot of the cast could've done with a little more development, personality-wise (especially the villains, although they were still great), and the 'final battle' of sorts was slightly underwhelming in the way that the main issue was actually resolved. Overall, however, I'd say that Doctor Strange was heavily driven by its story and the visualization of it, but I certainly enjoyed the film even more than I expected to, with the positives far outweighing the negatives by a mile. It was just so entertaining!

Awesome, thank you so much! Thanks in advance.

Hi! As Halloween is approaching, I would absolutely love to make a request well suited to the occasion: could anybody draw my OC, Cyan Flare, as a vampire bat pony? It would be absolutely amazing if so, and I would be ever so grateful. I very much apologise for not being able to commission this, so it's alright if anyone doesn't want to draw this for free. By Pripyat Pony. More art of her can be found on my profile.

Indeed I have! Hi.

@@Blitz Boom, Golden Spell opened his mouth to speak, but was lost for words. Clearly, he was not sure about how to phrase his next sentence, and was a little surprised when Happy simply admitted to being a changeling and was still talking to them in a rather polite fashion. "Well..." the unicorn began. "W-we certainly are not ponies to judge and stereotype, but-" He paused, once again searching the depths of his mind for something to utter next. "Um... sure, you can tag along, or whatever," Cyan Flare said hurriedly. Suddenly, the usually quiet pegasus seemed quite snappy. "But don't try anything." Shortly afterwards, she turned her head and stared off into the trees aimlessly. Her eyes seemed to flit back and forth between each branch, every leaf - anything to avoid eye-contact in this situation. "Why... yes, I agree. You... you have not done anything wrong," Golden picked up where she had left off, having been given something to work with, despite knowing that she was far more nervous than she was letting on. She may not have been the most sophisticated of ponies (like himself), but she could often be so polite that she just let other ponies tread all over her like a doormat. "You have deceived us, however, and Cyan Flare most certainly does not like having her trust broken. I do not think we will be talking any more about Canterlot, either."

Heatmor, Flamethrower!

I watched Star Trek: Into Darkness and thoroughly enjoyed it. A pretty great film, I'd say. I really need to watch the original series, and the other movies in the rebooted one, too.

This incredible mashup of two of my favorite songs. Seriously, this is amazing.

7.5/10!

@@Blitz Boom, At the mention of changelings, Cyan Flare instantly took a guess at the direction Happy was now taking the conversation about Canterlot (which had been rather one-sided so far, thanks to Golden Spell's proud chattering). 'He might just have noticed that we noticed...,' she thought. 'We might end up treading on eggshells a little, here.' "Well..." Golden Spell began. "I will say that plenty of necessary precautions have been taken. An awful lot has been rather confidential, however, but ensuring that brides and grooms are not changelings in disguise before every wedding, I would say, is a given." The unicorn chuckled slightly at yet another one of his own humorous remarks, before exchanging a glance with his disapproving sister and proceeding to speak. "I would expect that nothing like that could ever happen again, although security can never be intimidatingly - or, more so, obviously - high due to the welcoming vibe that the city would rather give off," Golden concluded, this time seeming a lot more tentative with his words and ending his turn to talk far earlier. Cyan tried to read the expression etched upon his face, but, for once, her usually overly-expressive brother was managing to keep relatively calm. That was when she realized that she, instead, was the one shivering like a leaf on a breezy autumn day. 'Typical of me... thank you, social situations.'

@@Blitz Boom, "Well... Canterlot is a far more homely place - at least I have found - than many assume at first," Golden Spell began, starting on a major positive about his hometown. "Extremely classy, as you likely know, but not entirely snobbish... like plenty of ponies make it out to be..." Cyan Flare noticed as her brother's ears twitched slightly, aware of what he could have been thinking of. It had taken place a while ago, and there had not been another issue entirely centered around the changelings since, but Canterlot's most recent royal wedding had been infiltrated and very nearly ruined by a swarm. Both siblings were aware that Happy was probably a changeling, after what they just seen, though they would now consider him a friend - or, at the least, very good company. Still, the unicorn continued to ramble about Canterlot: what he loved about it; how little he disliked, and so on. "I do suppose that the hustle and bustle can be a little bit of a problem, one might say, to those who are either new, or my sister," Golden continues, gesturing with good humor to the shy and reserved pegasus. "Funny," she commented dryly, though she was holding back a tiny nod to confirm that what her brother had said about her and dealing the crowds of Canterlot was entirely true. It was, in fact, a major part of the reason that she had chosen to move to the less clustered Ponyville. "But, if you are able to pick your way past everypony, you'll find the most hidden gems of shops in the business. Like mine, for example (not to sound self centered), is one that receives many returning visitors. New ponies, but only occasionally, which is why I recommend that you take a peek into even the smallest of businesses." "Okay, that's enough about you," Cyan said, ending his chattering with a joking wave of her hoof. "In other words, he thinks Canterlot is pretty cool."

Windclan territory, noon. @@P-Jay, "Not a chance, rogue," Featherfur replied to the cat, a snarl rumbling in his throat and his claws digging into the ground below his paws. "If we happen upon him, we might just come and find you (if you're lucky, and we're in a great mood), but you aren't setting a paw in out territory." "Featherfur?" Lavenderpaw piped up from where she stood just to the right of him. "He can't do any harm if we escort him, right? This cat might get caught up in some trouble..." Featherfur just ignored the considerate words of his apprentice and focused on the opposing cats next move.

Windclan/Thunderclan border, noon. @@P-Jay, Featherfur huffed as the unrecognized cat spoke in a strangely euphonious manner, lashing his tail but listening to what he had to say. "No, we haven't," he confirmed with an unamused growl. "And if you're even considering venturing onto our territory to search for whoever he is..." Featherfur stopped to realize that the Thunderclan patrol would be arriving at the border any second now, and they were bound to notice the mystery cat. He'd have to flee one way or another, and not onto Riverclan territory, either.
