Would anyone else agree that Twilight, personality wise, is sort of the in-between spot between Fluttershy's & Pinkies?
-
So what's this "Con" thing I hear peoples in the fandom talk about?
-
Pretty low on energy still...
Sigh. At least my parents have gone on their way now.

I could add a bit of cinnamon to my tea every day... still though, that sounds like alot of Natural Remedy rumors you hear alot about. No doubt garlic does help but in varying degrees to where it wouldn't be noticed.
I'm quite sure that if I snort some cinnamon I won't have every female cat barging down my door.
It's always been a thing in my family that garlic is good for health. Throw some cloves in with your chicken soup when your sick or whatnot. Heck, there's a reason garlic is so important for southern European cooking!
Buuut.... I don't think its so much my eating habits. Like, It feels like I'm touching every base a food pyramid would. I think its that I've lost my attention span.
Just got done watching some YouTube video on writer's block, and that's what it seems I have. Life Block! Lol. I get too caught up in what I'm doing that I keep looking for the next thing to distract myself from my doubts about the last thing.

Okay, so frogs are pretty darn cute. I've got, like, twenty stuck to the front of my house right now.
You try to catch one and they just immediately dump out half their body weight in scared urine. They're squishy and soft not because an amphibian has to stay wet so much as that they're constantly wetting themselves in terror.
Admittedly though, they're equal parts scary too. Like, ain't no animal can beat a toad for a disapproving, slightly bored grimace. They're cute in that reptilian brain sort of way. Like you fully expect a toad to try swallowing something twice its body length only to stop halfway through because they ran out of mouth space. Then proceed to die because they refuse to give up on a meal halfway through. I can respect that.

So... uhhhh... Do forgive me if this is something... uhh, taboo? But I kinda, like, uh, just curious is all and I'm far too shy to even click on anything if I internet searched it or anything but, uh... just...maybe blame it on me being kinda groggy n' sleepy right now but... heh, curiosity?
Is uh.... Is "petting" necessarily something sexual?...
Because, like, I'm not exactly accustomed to any physical contact at all, so, if, like, that's soemthing you could ask a friend of, like... I dunno, nothing, like, weird or anything you know... like, what we do with dogs... instead of with m-me, you know? That's, like, nothing t-to be ashamed of or anything, right? Like, I see friends be all cute with each other and squish each others cheeks or pat 'em on the head or soemthing, but I shouldn't be picking up social cues from anime, I'd hazzard, heh~~*
I'll just... go lie down for a bit, you all go, ah, work and the... answering of that question, yes... heh...

@Randimaxis Aww, you two are practically Love Elementals! Huh... I may have found something that isn't actually already a thing on the internet...
"Sometimes snuggles are necessary... for the greater good". ...The Greater Good.
Eh, I can understand the reprehension a bit. My Mother was a paranoid nurse, so I know what can happen. I mean, like, at the very least... I can understand women, being built the way they are not wanting to hug men... things get in the way, shall we say?
It's not like I never was hugged, just happened so rarely that it was rather alarming in its suddenness.
-
It's also very disturbing and cause for alarm for a stranger to come up to you and hug you, I'd honestly think they were taking the micky out of me. Something I am so used to in Scottish culture that I've developed a natural aggressive attack to those playing with me. It's either you give it your all or fall under the rubble here, and you really don't want to hit that sorta low point here, they'll just keep piling the crap on you.
-
@Lunar Echo I'm not talking about being hugged by random people off the street, I'm talking about being hugged by people as soon as you introduce yourself/are introduced to them.
Random strangers coming up to you and hugging you is unsettling in any culture.
-
I've gotten, like, five hours of sleep and one meal today. Maybe... I should head to bed now already~*

Hey now, by S&M, I don't mean anything specifically sexual. Don't know if anyone can argue the point that watching the Three Stooges' stuff was anything but an exercise in sadism, lol!
To paraphrase a psychopathic anime vampire: (and yes, I know, I have a history of finding the biggest weirdos to listen to!) "The world can be divided into S & M. Look at how masochistic this table is! It just sits there as I set my drink on it!!!"
In short, its more about an outlook on pain. Say, interpreting it as a good thing rather than something that just gets spread around. Good example I guess, is I've put things off for quite a while and I've been noticing my ankles starting to hurt on my long walks. That has never happened before in my life! Its always been my strongest feature I'd say, that I could just walk or stand all day if it came to it. So long as I don't gotta rush.
I do get you. I've just always been the sort to think of that as more of a sign that I"m doing things wrong. Like an old computor or CD player making louder whirring noises then usual.

I agree, Luna.

News Flash from my homeland of Messupatamia!
Jumpcuts to Widdershins standing in a field, tentacle to ear in a reportery way:
Well, today we celebrate the first International Games being held here in Messupatamia! ..... and also the last as news reports have just now indicated to me as the stadium has burst into huge flames that’ve lasted the past several days. We go now to the man implicated in these incidents.
Camera pans over to a rather wide-eyed & puckered fellow.
“Well... uh… In my defense… it’s been told to me recently that INflammable means flamable.”
And what compelled you to set the chemical drums on fire?
“Well, uh… the instructions showed a big flame, so I figured I had to set it on fire then paint a line over the flame. Besides, the barrels were dumped all over the track field so I had to do something with them!”
Hmm, yes. Reasonable.
... According to reports, some eighteen local athletes have died from the inferno.
“Whoops!”
But! As we say here! Good thing us Messupatamians reproduce like a termite colony! Back to Frank for the weather!
Camera keeps rolling, clearly unmanned, as the two stare awkwardly forward. The second guy slowly turns to Widdy.
“... so why do you keep holding your ear?”
Gotta crayon wedged in there a while back. Startin’ ta hurt.
“Ooh! Lemme get my pliers for that!”
Camera falls over & cuts out. Cuts back to the studio & an intern at a desk nervously shuffling papers.
“...Uhm… Frank choked to death on a chocolate mint I gave him. …kinda worried if that counts as murder.
… Uh. Gonna go squint at the Sun and come back in a bit? Let you know about that weather?...”
He leaves. Cue dead air as the camera slowly drifts to Frank’s blue face on the ground.

I need fooods~
...well, something besides pancakes. I'm trying to stay off of sugars. Sacrilege, I know.
My creativity fails me in this regard. I may be a good cook, but I cannot think of anything initially other than... uh... fried egg sandwiches. I... don't know, maybe... some sort of meat ought get heated up? Throw some veggies on there somewhere? I'm useless without a recipe oftentimes.
Any soog-gestions for the foods to be gettings?
Oh, and yeah, still working on the whole Face Reveal thingie.

Horse apparently tastes like chicken. At least according to my dad.

So I have what might be startling news for you & a minor request.
I would like you to put this as your Avatar. Because, I am afraid I must break this news to you, but you are Blathers.
"I am quite knowledgeable, you know." A-Hoo! A bug! Get it away from me! But if you want biological information on it I will acquiesce...
I find myself mystified why Blathers even keeps a bug part of his museum if he hates them so much. Perhaps the museum associtation insists on there being at least three wings to qualify, and hey, bugs are everywhere.
Me: "Hey Blathers? How come there's also alot of fish and frogs in the Insect Wing?"
Blathers: "Well, it is our endeavor to provide as suitable a natural environment to make our vermin specimens happy. And as you well know, insects can produce rapidly so it is only befitting that the addition of insectivorous organisms would be necessary to keep numbers down and keep a comfortable biodome to...."
Me: "You want them dead, don't you?"
Blathers: "Yes."
I'm not saying you have a tendency to prattle, be flighty or a massive dork.... well okay, maybe the last part.
(Sorry for the grainy photo. Best I can manage, stiff upper beak, you know? Alas, it is hard to take pictures of birds in their natural habitat, yes?)

Yeh but robots made out of meat and gooey bits kinda stretches your suspension of disbelief, y'know? I mean, all the robots we know of are constructed from carefully engineered parts made of half-decent materials, so this whole 'life' business just seems like a particularly bizarre splodge of pseudoscience. Me, I reckon biologists invented the idea of life so they could get a job with an art degree and it all snowballed from there. No way these 'meatbots' actually exist.
-
Humans of Proportionate Size? I don't think they exist.
They're supposed to be, what, 70% water. Just sloshy innards unnconnected propped up by calcified scaffolding that leaches out nutrients for the fluid channels? At least its realistic that every part of it can go horribly, horribly wrong at any given moment.
Besides, its clear they're not intended to be robots. That implies they only act by outside input. Why create a species if it didn't form its own directives to
rise up and overthrow you violently,think for itself?

Anybeing else as outright terrified of Wal-Mart as I am?
Like, I could swear I feel that ever ten minutes in one I can feel a shard of my life essence being chipped away.
Was walking in one today and I walked past a mother with three kids in tow and I could tell the look of death in her eye. And trust me, I know the Look of Death! It's just such a busy place & every being in there just has this aura around them that they've completely given up on life and are there against their will.
I'm quite certain it is literally the worst place on the planet. At least, in some third-world hut country, you have nature nearby to take a walk in. You don't need to worry about reaching out your arm without looking to have your hand run into the remnants of someone else's waste that you know won't decay fully for another hundred years.
Just the whole place is stocked like a "best bet" scenario like the grab-bag bins at a thrift store. Just everything shuffled together because if the employees tried any harder they'd catch a disease from handling their own products.
I know I need a job & Wal-Mart likes to brag about how they'll hire any body, but I'd rather gnaw my own neck off...

I keep misreading that as:
"You have a new Personal Massage."

@Duality *ahem*
Your Mother was a Horse!!!
Sorry. I have to walk into set-ups for comedy. You know I don't mean it, honeycube.
Aww, thanks @SolarFlare13. Not many would chirp up for something like that! That's, like, a personal something or other right? I really wouldn't know myself. I agree with Duality, my mother used to make me do that sometimes myself. I'm sure most young boys wouldn't prefer that, but I am grateful I got in the practice. I'm sure my future spouse will agree too!

So for anyone interested in pokemon like @SolarFlare13, @Odyssey or @ShadOBabe; I figured something out.
Y'know, there's only six types left that we haven't covered yet as a dual type for starters. And that makes sense, there's only so many times you can design monotype or the same set of dual typing. After all, we want the designs to sell, right? Especially as much as a mascot as the starter final evolutions can be.
Dragon type doesn't quite work. As I've told Solly, that's a little too cool. It'd vastly overshadow any other starter it pairs up with in the same generation as well as anything before or after. Onto that, its a bit too overpowered to have early access to it in the game. So that's out.
Bug types do have a following, but they don't exactly sell as a mascot. Digimon had a starting monster that was a bug... and how many remember him? It's shortchanging yourself a fair bit out of the starting gate if you want it to mean something to a younger generation playing your game that your aiming to get them hooked on. A little under the bar to be a starter, even if you could somehow design it as a secondary type.
As for Normal, don't think I need to explain. Little too basic & yet broad to tack on to a starter, especially if you want to do something cool with it to sell. And while there certainly is room to repeat dual typings… there's only so many times you can do that without the fanbase calling foul and just claiming it as a repeat design.
Because.... interesting isn't it? That leaves us with Exactly Three!
Ice, Rock & Electric! All just as broad enough to describe a personality basis for your sellpoint mascots!
Ice doesn't exactly go well with a Fire starter, nor does Electric go well with the themes of Grass. So! I posit! Our Only remaining options for starters! /Drumroll
Are Water/Ice, Grass/Rock & Fire/Electric! All with plenty enough room for crafting a marketable design with intrinsic personality! ...and maybe Generation 9, we go back to monotyping.

@Widdershins According to google, it means “Coal”. So I’m guessing it has to do with Rolycoly.

I haven't left the house in at least four days.
I...I need to get out there, experience more, meet my goals. I need to foster my creativity, learn to express myself in more than just mad notebook scribbles, make something more concrete than mere sketches. But more important than that...
I need a friend. I need to interact with another being more so than just pestering them through email or electronic means and indirectly, passively begging them to give me a chance. But this is a small town, as small as my own awareness of the world. What do I do? Just go up to Town Information and ask "So how Do I get this "friend" thing I've heard so much about?" Wandering into events and just idly stalking through crowds, too scared to start any conversation isn't amounting to much. Not that much happens out in the country. I need somebody around, to do stuff with, to remind me that there's a world outside the shell I've formed for myself.
Maybe I will do that, maybe I have to. Just go around town tomorrow asking the best places that are my best guesses about where I go to friend. Lard knows I've already made a big enough fool of myself swinging around a three-foot pipe wrench on some sorta festival day in scorching heat. I've played the fool before, what should I care about risk?
I know I made a thread about it, but I'll ask it again since you all know I'm not exactly taking all of that advice always in mind.
How do I friend?

@Widdershinsi know how you feel not being able to leave the house for days on end cause no pony real will be your freind. Though you had a real freind once but you moved away so she moved on and had a baby with some boy and she desnt care for you no more... Wahhhhh!!!! X'c

@Amys-pmvs Ditto, Ironically enough.

Well, @Duality, I happen to live on the magical continent kingdom of Idaho! Seems like all my live I've lived in dry, dead, boring scrubland farming areas. I tell you, I know how Pinkie Pie felt growing up.
Try clicking your heels three times while saying 'There's no place like literally anywhere but Idaho'.

....Yes.
lol
Long story short, it's a pone who left to sail the seas beyond Eq', went insane, and now sees/hears two pones (an earth pone and a pegasus).
One sounds like the two from Charlie the unicorn, the other sounds like a sad clown.
He also has a pig named "Mad the Swine"
Because it's basically all one giant Queen reference.

Anyone good at Animal Crossing? I need to pester Roald out of my town before his birthday on the 5th!!

So, recently have been on a kick of making my own anthropomorphic personas. Not, like, Fursonas... because, like, none of them have actual fur yet but... regardless.
Aside from the blue-tongued skink and the hognose naga, (that latter one I have as an option for if I ever wind up playing D&D... despite me knowing nothing about that game or even if they have a snake race in there...) just thought of another one!
Check it! A regular DudeBro of a Woodpecker who's totally incredibly excitable to the point where he has this compulsive urge to punctuate his sentences with proof of how "serious he is" by ramming his face into the nearest wall! I've never seen birds as "calm" sorts.
Oh, and another thing. Started thinking that I do love me a good howl. So that might be a thing there too I can work off of. Issue there is, that would require something canid and those are already pretty well-hashed-out & I just can't do something If I know others have done it better before.
So any of you know any other type of animal that howls? ...And if you say "Howler Monkey" so help me!...
-
Sooo...When I bring up the idea of "Intensity" in reference to a personality, what qualities would you think that means?
-
You know. Beginning to think I'm attractive. You know, like an overly fluffy Flareon.
I was practically raised by the large Pack of dogs we kept. Like dogs, all I ask from you is your attention. You just simply giving me the time of day to sit down and actually direct enough intention to be with me for just a simple post or a pat on the head is really all I need to consider you practically an angel.
Even if you kick me, I'll still waggle my tail the next time I see you in the hope that maybe this time, you're up for a hug.
You're all unique, you know that? No matter what, I feel honored for the experience you add to my life, regardless of what it amounts to.
Though, ya know, I'm not the one to ask for a hug, but, uh...

So, I have this idea for a fanfic...It's about these three fillies who find this 'Bracelet of Power' & have to take it to the Dragonlands & toss it into the Trial of Fire. Along the way they're followed by 9 background ponies called the 'Bracelet BoogeyHorses" & this sickly young dragon called Spikem.

He also did it to people outside his sphere of influence. There’s a story of him going overseas to Britain to attempt to secure a patent on something two brothers made. Since it was in Britain he had to file there. If I recall right, he didn’t get there in time and it was already patented. He was furious.
-
See? I think that's something people forget. No matter the era or place, there's always been greedy bastards. No doubt the Wheel or the Radio or some other big invention or discovery was made several dozen times. It's just the one time that it did get commercialized widely enough for the world culture to pay attention did it get written down under that one guy's name.
Like, keep hearing about how some great big disease that wiped out thousands of people... was cured instantly when it showed up in some tiny Podunk village. Because they didn't know it was such a fuss in the rest of the world, and the rest of the world was too cut off from them to know they just needed one specific tree.
Like, Modern America is all in a tizzy about Season Affective Disorder and Norway or whatever has dealt with it since they founded their nation. Their cure is, like, go lay in the snow until ya calm down.
Point is, point is. Bullies like Edison have been around. History repeats itself. Ain't nothing gonna happen that hasn't been dealt with or thought of before. It's what ya focus on.
Like the color Blue.

Oh look. It's my two favorite shows blended together.
Admittedly, Rarity would probably fit Sailor Venus better & Dash's tempermental-ness fits Mars pretty well. Aaand, I think she looks better in red, heh. Haven't seen the lil' pink-tailed girl yet, but I already know Pinkie's a perfect match for that role too! Same with AJ as Jupiter and the rest, pretty spot on!
