  Hohimigursh! Was that Luna remix supposed to be SOMBER?!!?  IT'S TOTALLY RADICAL, MAN!

   Hohkay! Picture dis Solly, muh boy! You've seen my OC, right? Well, these long ears be prehensile, get me? Second pair of front limbs, eh? Now picture a glowstick in each of the front four there an' me goin' fully Raver!

   Totally awesome there!

I would suggest against ignoring anybody. Well, most. Like, sure, if its spamming or absolute vile stuff after you've already told them to stop. I tell you, in the years I spent on Warcraft the only ones I ignored were the Gold Spammers that would hack you any chance they got or others that clearly wouldn't stop any other way. I am of the stance that even those who hate you provide a valuable experience; flat out denying that or depriving them of coming back sometime later when they've calmed down to apologize feels a bit cheap. Even in the times I've been unfairly ganked, flew into rages about it or still hold grudges to this day about how that rotten dwarf managed to back stab me andyou'llpayforthatsometimeIswear GIBLETS!! *cough*...  but anyhow... my point... Give a little bit of slack after all. I know I'd feel horrible if I wasn't aware, slipped up and said something perhaps more offensive than I meant & was never given an opportunity to apologize.

   I think, If I may hazzard a guess, that what your problem is is that your comparing yourself. It's rather illogical. And I know illogic. You can't ever know what another person is like. Even if you were to be married to someone for several decades, they could still surprise you with things. That's sort of the thing I like about art. Every single drag of a pencil corresponds to the mental firings of its author. Without computor aid, I would hazzard that every single project comes out a little bit different each time, even if the creator is trying to make the same thing twice. Just cause somebody else's work appears better doesn't make them an all-around better being than you. Look at the president's we've had and that's, like, the highest job to aspire to!

   It doesn't matter how many people like you, that's subject to change on any number of things you can't control. A large amount of things in life depend on so very many things that it'd be neigh impossible to actually force something to happen with any predictability. I've...

   I've had a lot of things taken from me in my life. I've never been in any war, but I've probably seen more death than most have... well, maybe farmers... or those World Wars... but I said most. Point is... there's always something that can never be taken away from you, something that you can always depend on... and that's how you feel.    What you feel can never be wrong.

  That's how you define yourself, what makes you happy or sad, what forms your existence. Some may bully you, smoosh your face into things and say that you're worthless, but that's just an opinion... something that's subject to change even more so. Eventually any bully, anyone who's better than you or just having an environment not conducive to pursuing your dreams will eventually fade away, but you'll still be you with your own feelings.

  That's what art is. You don't draw things because what they're supposed to look like or what everyone else says it should be like. You pull visions out of your own mind & put them down, things that only you can do, that by route of your own hand is undeniably yours, even if you are copying or tracing another.

   AAaand, if you don't agree with that... just consider that pretty much every artist you meet considers their own work absolute garbage. Look at Leonardo DaVinci or Vincent Van Gogh! Absolute geniuses in their field! ... who were also completely bonkers!  VanGogh was so depressed over thinking that he ruined a friendship that he once lopped off his own ear.  http://www.vangoghgallery.com/misc/van-goghs-ear.html

   Heck! Don't GET me started on Tesla!!

  You don't do art to measure up to others. You don't art to appeal to the masses & sell. You do art to make yourself feel better.  Because what you think of you is what is truly permanent.

   ...  Man, that remix is awesome! Fourth time I played that in a row since I started typing this! *twirls the rave glowsticks in the air*

   Ooh! Hey, @The Cerberus! Get me more of Mr.Alien Conspiracy! He's practically my cousin! If we could just have a full thread fanclub of him!!

@Widdershins I found that Luna remix by accident. I was in fact, trying to find a Discord remix (which was done by the same youtuber), but it appears they’ve removed it, which is a real shame ‘cuz it was a really good song. This is the original song btw:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bn7uMwXYU9U

I really like that remix too. Another youtuber you should look up is 174UDSI. That guy does A TON of remixes and they’re really good

I know, but there’s this one person who’s been kinda been giving me A LOT of grief lately. (…and no, it’s not you or any of my friends)

At the moment, I’m 50-50 with the decision.

“Like, sure, if its spamming”

Yeah, like some-pony spamming they love tanks all the time? Yup…that can get pretty annoying…

You know, that’s only ever happened twice in my life. I mean, the people who hate the way I respond (which I cant seem to understand why :/) get pissy with me, I stop talking to them for a while and then they apologize for me.

“Give a little bit of slack after all”

*sighs* I know where you’re going at, but like I said, I’m 50-50 with the decision and to be perfectly honest, it’s just the one person and it’s not you or any of my friends

“I know I'd feel horrible if I wasn't aware, slipped up and said something perhaps more offensive than I meant & was never given an opportunity to apologize”

Oh trust me, I’ve encountered a few of those people on the forums before and it almost made me NOT wanna come back here. Luckily, the majority of them left...

…and don’t worry, I’d never do something like that to you

“that what your problem is is that your comparing yourself”

*sighs* yeah, and I know I shouldn’t be doing that. I should just be myself and have some fun here like I always do. It’s just his one person is…making things “difficult” for me…

“That's sort of the thing I like about art. Every single drag of a pencil corresponds to the mental firings of its author”

That’s a good way of putting it :3

Essentially what you’re saying is, you get better each time you draw?

Yeah, you’re right. I should be focusing on myself and how I can improve my own art.

Well, I can say that School ruined my life and my grandma died when I was still young, so yes, there was A LOT of happiness that was taken out of my life

“there's always something that can never be taken away from you, something that you can always depend on... and that's how you feel. What you feel can never be wrong”

You’re absolutely right. I mean, I always let my emotions do the talking and I usually keep my personal opinions to myself unless they are my friends or family :3

“Some may bully you, smoosh your face into things and say that you're worthless, but that's just an opinion...”

Yup. I’ve had a few people tell me that, even tho I was nice to them -_-…

“That's what art is. You don't draw things because what they're supposed to look like or what everyone else says it should be like. You pull visions out of your own mind & put them down, things that only you can do, that by route of your own hand is undeniably yours, even if you are copying or tracing another”

Thank you =3 At least some-pony understands where I’m going at. In my art class, we were taught about the history of art and we BARELY got to do any actual art -_-…

You know Tesla? DUDE!!! My dad is a HUGE fan of Tesla O_O

(…and he knows A LOT about him too)

“You don't do art to measure up to others. You don't art to appeal to the masses & sell. You do art to make yourself feel better.  Because what you think of you is what is truly permanent”

Wow. I’m not kidding when I say this, but you should’ve been my art teacher when I was in High School. That is some seriously good advice O_O

I know right!? =D Originally, that youtuber went by the name of Mush, but they obviously changed it something else

Ironically, I found that theme when I was playing Legends Of Equestria. You may not know this, but they play a number of fan-made themes there :3

…but like I said before, check out 174UDSI’s channel. He’s got A LOT of good pony music. Here’s one of my favorites ^w^

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ajwzN4sTqQ

I played this theme A LOT when I was running in Legends Of Equestria <3

Slowly, I'm feeling better as time goes on. It's just taking a while...

Oh, forgot to touch on too! Sure! I'd love to try out the... The League of Extraordinary Equestrians with you, if you can figure me out how I bloody well can! I'm not the quickest to catch on to technology stuff, despite how much time I've spent in front of a computor. Only got into Warcraft like I did because my Sis guided me into it.

   Oh aye, frequency can only add improvement! You ever watch the YouTubers that animate them telling their life stories like TheOdds1Out or SomethingelseYT (or however they're spelt)? Their as basic as I think things can get, but that's not the point. They're fun because they're having fun doing it! Even syndicated comic strips with whole teams behind them creating it like Garfield are still pretty simple but they keep going!

  I know. Tesla is awesome. He made up plans for a literal invisible Death Ray & married a pigeon. The world loves a madman, just not enough to help him!

  Forget what else I was gonna type here, but that's the thing about moods. Take it from a guy with massive moodswings myself!  Sadness & Happiness are like Morse code. Dashes & Dots. Sadness feels like it lasts longer, and they tend to stick out more in your mind, but they do end. Happiness comes and goes pretty quickly, it can feel like, but those little dots of joy tend to be more often. Times like, say, your happy memories with your granny, may feel like they ended quickly despite the years that may have been involved, but that doesn't mean there won't be more happiness coming. Joy may be easier to forget, but that doesn't prevent it from happening again.

  No matter how deep a hole you may fall into, there's always a circle of light above you.
