Well, I'm tied at first place for two pokemon. Mewtwo has always been the face of the franchise for me ever since the first movie. Heck, think that first movie was what got me into the franchise! Just an absolute badass, the storms & winds are whipped up at his slightest whims and he's pretty much an out right mutant god. Made all the more epic because of just how much he clashes with the happy tone the anime has always had. I swear he looks like something that would fit more into a show like Dragonball Z! But all the power in the world, and he's made almost helpless by how much he agonizes over how he'll be accepted by others or what his place is and the just reams of entirely warranted angst he's stored up over his traumatic "childhood." Just been a huge impact on my life & a role model ever since his line of "I see now it is not how one starts life, but what one does with the gift of life that truly matters" or somesuch. Heh, likely tells you alot about me that my three role models are a mutant psychopath, a whiny magical girl, and a dismembered & antagonistic corpse from a Monty Python skit! My second number one, heh, is Delphox! I've played each generation and most every gameboy console game in Pokemon but I've never cared much for the starters. Can't even remember who I first got back in Blue. Likely because first thing my sis & I did was restart my game over so we could swap around & get all the starters, so I tend to see them as replaceable & just characters. But....Fennekin was different. I adore foxes, just so much. And at the time I was living alone & working my first job & in an extremely stressed funk. Saw that cute, adorable, lil' fluffybutt and thought to myself, that that was something I cared about, that was something that'd make me happy and that I could look forward too! Saved up & spent my first ever paycheck on that gameboy & X version. First thing I had ever bought with my own earned money. And on starting that game, knew right away who I wanted! Made a point of getting a male fennekin since it seemed to have a bit of a reputation for seeming a bit effeminate though that didn't really help in the long run. I quickly grew attached to the spoiled little snarky guy; named him Spark. Both so I could have the little mental image of him getting all snotty over it being "Spark, not sparky" & in reference that, to me, he was sort of my last spark of hope that I could be happy. Spark definitely taught me how to hope again. I'll never forget that moment. Was in battle with some random hiker in some ice cave that I can no longer remember who had some Scrafty with the Moxie ability. Went and goofed, and got my first three of my team plowed under by it, by the time Spark came out (I always kept him last as my favorite and in a vain attempt to keep me from just using his overleveled tail for literally everything, lol) I had already resigned to watching my friends just get pulped under an oncoming wave of punches that that KO'd everything in their path. First hit makes contact with Spark & knocks out two thirds of his health. I'm like, fine, whatever, he's a psychic up against a fighting move, it'd stand to reason he could take a hit but its not going to help. I'm doomed anyway and I can't run with my back up against this cold cave wall. I hit a random fire attack, and take out a third of its health, as half of Spark's moves are psychic and can't even touch him. Second hit lands. I get this little m-message..."Spark toughens it out to the last, to show its best side to its trainer." And I say, likely out loud, well nice sentiment Spark, but it doesn't matter. One HP left against a guy that can take out about 120 hp out in one hit. It's not even worth bothering to heal. One more piddly fire attack for another third health and I tense up waiting for the last explosive hit to ram us and make me black out. " Spark toughens it out to the last, to show its best side to its trainer." ....and there I sit. With Spark with enough speed to land the final blow, completely unhindered, against that punk that ripped apart the friends I cared about. Sitting in a cold cave, with only one pokemon left at 1 point of health and he's just in front of me tired, but grinning.... Sure, I know now that that's an effect of spending time with your pokemon in the new Amie thing. Spark having been the only one I ever played with in that. Where they'll stick by your side more, added combat bonuses, whatever, but I've never gotten that to happen twice in a row like that again. Spark taught me, that you could be on fire, have your head in the cannon & hear the fuse burning closer. But you still have hope. You might, but Hope never dies.

Yay! Could always use another Dracklekazonka! Nope, still can't pronounce that! Moving on! My impressions on your list so far! Well, you don't really gotta stick to a pony head. I know that really the only show-cannon line we got for our species is "with the head of a pony" but Big Daddy Discord's head looks more like a goat's. Went Llama with mine, so long as your in the ballpark for equine-ish-ness then you ain't too far off the mark there! Do like fangs, need more fang representation! Tee-hee! Heterochromia! That's usually a bad thing to have your OC mismatch but with draconequusona think the whole point is to blindside your viewer with the feeling of "Dear Sweet Mercy, what am I looking at here?!" My full approval! AD-OR-ABLE! Though I have trouble imagining how that'd attach to a horsehead. Think that's a good rule though for the species. You got to have some type of headgear, be it antlers, horns, crests or what I did, big ol' floppy ears! Ehhh...this fandom sure does like its timber wolves... though don't think many get that they're less wolf & more construct. Wouldn't that just be a branch sticking out in place of an arm then? ...What's a Yhetti? Hmm...that thing that popped up in that Yak episode? Sure they're canonical, but wouldn't that just be a monkey arm? Kelpie?! Now that's clever! Why aren't there kelpie ocs!??! Is it because they tend to be blood-sucking demons? Lol! Still, think it'd be a bit more extravagant then just a fin-hoof. Hmm, maybe I could sketch a few mock ups.... Your right? Like, right side of your body is zebra patterned while your left is giraffe pattern? Maybe you mean back legs, as you kind of left those out, but then both of the back legs are zebra? Though with the colorful patchwork we are, love the idea of mixing in some black along with! Cool! Giraffe! As we tend to be a rather stretched-out species a good way to incorporate that length is with some sort of ruff or pattern along the long neck! ..............................OTTERS GOT TAILS?!!? WHAT?! But first and foremost that I feel I gotta bring up in the field of making a Draconequusona! We are NOT ponies! You need length! A good, almost serpentine body with a good two pony-lengths between your front & back legs! Unless you've got more then four legs....or less then three....This ain't exactly a science here! Don't forget a good quirky & manic vibe! You can be the Spirit of Suchn'such but it ain't really a rule. We don't write these things down! It's my pleasure to chirp up as spastically as I can! Feel free to come to me with any questions! And gosh, your a LOT friendlier then the last fellow I met named House!

Oh, uhm...th-thanks. Didn't think it'd mean that much to you. Uh, if you ever want to talk, you got my profile handy if you feel like it! Some pretty great storytelling, though the broken horn bothers me. Keep thinking of them as bone and there would have to be some intense amount of trauma to break one off. Like car accident levels, not just some scene-mate hanging off of it for a day. Not...that certain aspects of your character have my mind going in weird directions or anything! ...if you don't mind me asking. Are those tail extensions? Because dang...that's sooo fluffy for a stallion!

Confession: Italics makes me very suspicious. Also, as an addendum, Never really liked the whole Golden Compass/Amber Spyglass series. Had great ideas, but sorta devolved into some guy wanting to get in a round of fisticuffs with God.

I hate humanity. No, no, not like that! I still hate seeing anyone get hurt, and I intrinsically love everyone I meet. I mean the species as a whole. One species entirely blanketing almost every inch of this planet, using so many tools to the point where its harming their ecosystem, and on top of that they're just fleshy bipedal meatsacks that are like, 90% water. If I can throw a rock at you and get you to whine about it, your not exactly the pinnacle of evolution, are you? No protective shell, breakable claws, dull fangs, they're ugly & a uncreative designs by aesthetical standards! We became omnivores solely just so we can more appropriately take more advantage of our ecosystem! Sure, they're not the worst. There ARE other species that openly kill their own kind in war & for sport & fun. That, and they remind me of monkies. Horrible, horrible monkies. Don't get me started on monkies!!

Well, Fhoo! I should be so lucky as to get mauled by a werewolf! So rare to find the things you keep an eye out to look for! While I've moved alot I haven't led the most thrilling of lives, but still. A few houses we've lived in used to have walls that bled. A sort of sickly, phlegmy goo that formed this little line of droplets all at the same level. Mother says its because the previous owners were smokers & all the water from the steamy showers made it slime its way down, but ehhhh.... Oh, and one other thing. Mother has told me before that she woke up in the middle of the night once and saw this giant green eyeball with long flowing white hair levitating right over her in bed. Now, truth be told does sound alot like "hairy=fuzzy image" and my mother does wear glasses but she did make a point of commenting on just how clear it was at the time. That, and she blacked out afterwards almost as if she woke up at the wrong time during an alien visit. Course I've been the only ever person to have had slept in the same house with her at that time, and I am an extremely heavy sleeper. Hmm, though we do both share the habit of nasal polyps, like we share a related trauma to an easily probed orafice that points directly up towards where a floating alien would be. But then, they would have had years to practice on getting me into an easily manipulated deep sleep. And I've never had issues.....Nngh.... *his eyes slowly grow closer together and meld into one large glowing eye, before coming apart again* ....Sorry, stress headache again. I'm....fine now. *Deedle, deedle, deedle deedle.....*

Well, how can I resist copious amounts of snark? I have a bit of a bad habit of over-complicated characters so Celestia knows I've got material to work with! Do well with this'un and maybe I'll let you tackle a Draconequusona! Behold my grandest creation! The seven-part OC monstrosity! Gallimaufry "Mauf" the Hydra! Edit: You guys totally ought go back to the whole spoiler-multi-tab shtick. It's annoying, lengthy & pretentious, exactly why I love it!

Hmm, traditional unicorn, right? Nifty! Could always use more variety! Welcome to the fold! I'll be sure to mail you a tasty, fresh-baked bomb! ...No, wait. Pancake, I mean pancake. Gosh, sure hope I remember the difference!

@P-Jay Aye, that's what I like doing. I'm a posting necromancer. I like to wake the dead threads! And I can tell, your a little less handwritten these days, still just starting out myself, haven't figured out all the computor drawin' you young'uns use these days. ..... Yeth, that's fine. You only being halfway up your peak is still better than what I got. That's just NIFTY! Lol! And ya gotta stop shooting yourself man, that's gotta be unhealthy!

It's kind of amazing really. From the handrawings you show on here, can definitely see a better control & more detail as you practice and do more. That scythe is quite elaborate and narrow, think it'd be hard for me to work thinks to such a finite point. And that little added detail on your ponysona, the ruffled hair as a pony becomes the fins filled with the trademark changeling holes that only further accentuates the scruffiness, lol! It's really kind of inspiring really. Makes me want to be more diligent on practicing my own drawing! HRRNK! He's a kid...a kid's drawin' better then me already! Gah! Early midlife crises coming on again! Its the big one! Ah'ma comin' 'Lizabeth!!!

As we just watched Doctor Strange, the notion of time manipulation is quite intriguing. Used in small amounts, both are quite possibly strong. Rewinding could be quite possibly like having a save file, go in for an important interview with a boss, make note of the time beforehand and basically Groundhog Day it. You could act like an absolute jerk & not have any consequences! Fast-forwarding would be essentially cutting out the wait time if you don't want to wait for the bakery to get your order done or etc. but these have its limit. Since your unaffected it wouldn't save time on your walk to the grocery store on the corner as you'd still have to move yourself. And therein lies a two-headed problem. The smaller being, what about what happens in those intervals? What if in that time you spent waiting in line at the bakery, the cute guy behind you chatted you up, you got to know each other & went on a date? That wouldn't happen if you sped up though that. If you reversed your life for a second chance, you'd still be the you that remembers those follies, the same bitter, older version of you that's replacing the you that was nine years younger. While it would be cool to watch time fly by, the buildings crumble & continents move on at their sluggish pace trouble there...is that your effectively killing yourself. Completely unmooring yourself from the friends, your family, the entire ecosystem you grew in & become accustomed to. When you wound up where you were going, you would be in an entirely different place you had no bearing or knowledge of. Every bit as a change as hopping dimensions. Part of what makes life is the mundane seconds that sliver off the block that is life. Which is why I would go with stopping time entirely. Effectively removing yourself, then popping right back into things when your ready. Have to agree with Evilshy on her points. Basically creating a sort of momentary personal pocket dimension. With the method of somehow "infecting" your time immunity to others, which helps alleviate what is likely the biggest consequence of all three. That you would go insane. Think about it. Watching other's lives go careening by, or stopping it and turning them into basically statues. Would sort of objectify them. Of course, if its just freezing time in that one split-second, you can get alot done while in there. Say, freeze time while somepony is tossing an apple to somepony else, freeze, and eat the apple out of the air. You only ate it out from that one, specific nanosecond but since it still exists in the nanoseconds before and after that, it still goes to its intended recipient after you unfreeze. That! And maybe just play with everybeing else for a bit like they were dolls, put them in funny positions & whatnot and they'd immediately zip back into place when you unfroze. But that still stands. Seeing those you interact with just stop and be vulnerable, to have that much time to yourself knowing what little impact you have when everything you did amounts to nothing once time reasserts itself.....you'd go mad. Trust me....I KNOW.

Granted! You have more hours to work next week! EVERY hour next week! Your booked solid for every moment for the next seven days with no lunch or sleeping breaks! Wish sleep was actually restful for me so I would actually go to bed...

Ohhh~ absolutely nothing...Because i'm a draconequus, of course! Hoh, I kid! Typically I can be found in cargo pants of some sort. Love the things, all them pockets is so handy. And besides, they're comfy and easy to wear!

Receives an entire London Orchestra. Inserts the meaning of life. Though as I turn to leave, the meaning of life tilts forward a hair and firmly impales itself onto the spiral metal bit that holds it in.
