  1. Actually, Twilight had Owloysius as a pet, not Spike. Well, it seems that he was treated more like family by Twilight's parents {though not by Twilight herself} when she and Shining were children, at least that's the vibe I got during Sparkle's Seven. And he is referred to as a "baby dragon" in the pilot, which implies that he had very little age to him at the series' beginning. Though that does make me wonder about his education at that point, since he doesn't seem ignorant and is clearly literate, so I wonder if he was basically homeschooled by Twilight.
  2. @Super Splashee Well, the parents could have been there for encouragement. Although I don't think Celestia was there initially, she showed up after the rainboom in case she needed to be captured by the invading giant dragon.
  3. Offhand guess, every school test is unique, or at least randomized. That would prevent would-be students from gaming the exam by practicing a specific spell they'd need to get in.
  4. Spoiler alert, we've got nothing to go on. But for anyone interested, it goes into great detail on why all of our estimates are so wonky. It's a pretty long article, in fact, but fortunately it does so with funny pictures and language that those of us who aren't insanely educated can understand. The article itself is here - https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/a-comic-strip-tour-of-the-wild-world-of-pandemic-modeling/ Any thoughts? ... {this is a few panels, by the way, not the whole article}
  5. "Feels like I could reach out Into dark October skies. Scoop up seven of Orion's stars, Hold them like shining diamonds. Then I turn and return To a world less than I'd like it to be. Strange thoughts staring at the skies On an Autumn's night."
  6. Well, for one thing, you misspelled it. {though to be fair, I had to google it in order to check. Spellinz be weird} That is not a show. That is definitely not a show that ever existed, especially not as a teen adventure thing. {has such an axe to grind} As for me.... hmm, anyone remember Terrahawks? How about Reboot? Or, digging deeper into the past, Gustav?
  7. "And now I'm gone and forgotten, Everything inside me pushes to realize I never was anything but a slave To circumstance and bad fortune. It's time to decide."
  8. Chocolate. Hazelnut chocolate specifically. Essentially, any time I see chocolate I have to make a will save.
  9. Huh, interesting. Not my first choice, but I might hit them up for advice.
  10. I can't find anyone on the forums to play City of Heroes with!

    Broken Record

    There has never been an athlete like Rainbow Dash. The sprints. The marathons. The land speed record. She held them all. Until she didn't. Until she had only one left... and met the pony that might take it from her.

  13. Well, a prank needs to be custom-tailored for its recipient. So my prank would be... giving Discord severe allergies for one day, just to see what he would sneeze.
  14. That's correct - while it would be awesome to have a joint recording session, I'm pretty sure it would be damn near impossible to organize. As an aside, you don't need to send me clean lines - if you want, you can send me the whole recording and I'll grab the lines from there. Also, it bears mentioning that, since we probably won't have a whole lot of people doing this project, everyone is welcome to grab more than one character if they feel like it.
  15. @Feather Spiral Sounds awesome! I'll add it to the post!
  16. I believe in you! Also ping me if you'd like suggestions on how to say it.
  17. [note: I apologize for the incosistent formatting, stuff gets... weird when copypasting] Pinging the GOL crew: @Emerald Heart @ExplosionMare @Feather Spiral @Fhaolan @GreenLeaf @Lord Valtasar @PuddingPonyPal @Randimaxis @Troblems Hi everyone! I'm wondering who would be interested in reading parts from two short fics - The Fluffiest Invasion and An Even Fluffier Defense. I'd recommend reading through them if you can spare the time - they're both about a thousand words each, give or take, plus they're pretty funny one way or the other. Because they're both so short, this call is for both stories simultaneously, though neither of them shares characters with the other. The tl;dr version, though, is that there's a battle between ponies and humans {US armed forces, to be specific} but kinda not really and more of a pony parody of actual war stories. Without further ado, le cast for... The Fluffiest Invasion, in order of appearance {color-coded PDF here}; The Narrator [either male or female][claimed: orange_man_from] Extras [Male or Female] Colonel Mitchum [Male] Sparks [Male][Feather Spiral] Major Wendel [Female] The Mare [Female] [claimed: EmeraldHeart] Princess Celestia [Female] Donald Trump [Male] And then, the Even Fluffier Defence {also highlighted PDF}; Narrator: [claimed: orange_man_from] Mike Pence [Male] Princess Luna [Female] Lieutenant [Male] Sergeant [Male][Feather Spiral (requested but optional)] Hardhat [Male] Geiger One [Male] Geiger Two [Male] Geiger Four [Male] Some Geiger Three Dude [Male] The Snuggler [Female] Thestral Extra The Staffer
  18. @Sepul-Coloratura Well, I don't know about you, but I am amused. I didn't expect the song to be a trick, so good job there - I confidently walked right into it. On the other hand, the song I posted was, in fact, an oldie, and I didn't really expect that degree of analysis. Namely, it was released in 1990, during the initial rise of electronic music, and actually enjoyed a period of semi-popularity {never made the top of the charts, but hovered around them for a while}. So, uh... does that mean that someone else can post a song for everyone to guess now, since we both missed?
  19. I suppose my ideal afterlife would be something akin to the Optimalverse. Just, y'know, without the cannibalization of real world.

    Sunset Shimmer is a firemare. Her job is to douse fires that arise from arguments and start fires to cook marshmallows (or burn houses).
  22. What can you tell us about music therapy?
  23. @Sepul-Coloratura Oh, and I'm going to guess... that it's actually fairly recent. The casual mention of hyperspeed in the lyrics makes it seem like that it's far removed from the sixties and seventies the cover image is reminiscent of. The sound quality is also fairly good, with the vinyl crackle and other imperfections actually seeming a little too perfect to be natural. The loud, eclectic style is also becoming more and more of a thing than it used to be even a decade ago, mostly thanks to the increasing accessibility of tools for making art, musical and otherwise. So, I'm going to go with.... 2018 or thereabouts?
