Merry Birthiversary!

As usual, I'm fashionably late to the party but I finally watched the film! Personally, I felt like the plot was stretched a bit thin, which was something I was concerned about when the trailer came out. There were a lot of new characters (and locations) introduced, all very interesting and with a lot of potential but there just wasn't enough time to develop them properly - except Tempest. Who completely stole Storm King's thunder. I can't praise the animation enough though, it was so beautiful. The MLP animators could give anime producers a run for their money, because those sparkly eyes were so pretty they were practically shoujo-level. -
I'd tell myself to branch out. I was way too hung up on the idea of drawing people (in that I thought drawing anything other than people was boring). I mostly draw objects and animals now and I wish I'd let myself draw those sooner. Plus I'd tell my younger self - or even my past self, from like, 3 seconds ago - that it's okay to make mistakes. I had/have too many sketchbooks that I haven't used, pencils/pens/paints/whatever I haven't opened, all because I'm scared to make mistakes. I'm mostly a digital artist now but it's a shame to think about how much I could've (or can) accomplish if I'd just put my fear aside and let myself make something, even if was a mess.

I've never been an active participant in any sort of fandom but I used to lurk in the shadows of the BSN forums and (once it was taken down) the unofficial forums, as well as DA confession blogs and the like. I'm still very much a fan but there's been some tension in the DA/ME fandoms for a while, so I had to take a step back for my own enjoyment of the games.

What comes to mind when you think of cats?
AnchorPoint replied to heavens-champion's topic in General Discussion
I think of my own cats. They're demons and I love them. The long haired one is Biscuit. She's scared of everything, loves yogurt, and has a strange obsession with plastic bags. The short haired one is Berry. He's a lovable old man but likes to bite my dog's feet and pretend he's the one actually being hurt. -
I think I'd leave whether or not Rarity liked me, unless everything I cared about in the real world traveled to Equestria with me, in which case I'd stay. Although I'd definitely be disappointed and pretty hurt because of it, which would make leaving a bit easier. -
Has a bad episode ever ruined a character for you?
AnchorPoint replied to ggg-2's topic in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
Discord's episodes since his true redemption have kinda spoiled (or at least lessened my enjoyment of) his character for me. 'What About Discord?' and 'Dungeons and Discords' in particular. I thought 'What About Discord?' would be a turning point for his character and that he'd start to form friendships with each of the Mane 6. So far (at least where I'm at in the series) it doesn't seem that way and too much of his character still revolves around his friendship with Fluttershy. I did like him a bit more in 'To Where and Back Again' because of his interactions with Trixie, but I still feel like he lacks a lot of depth compared to how he was as a villain/not-totally-redeemed-ally. -
I tend to have a nap if I'm feeling really down. It's like time travel. Just less worrying about waking up in a futuristic post-apocalyptic wasteland and more hoping I don't wake up in the same terrible mood as before. It usually works and I feel a lot better just for letting my mind rest and being somewhere warm and comfortable. Eating plenty of chocolate and watching something lighthearted, like cartoons or stand up, really helps my mood too.

24 hours with a pony of your choice in the real world.

Rarity. Favouritism aside, I think it'd be fun to have a girly day with her. I can barely be bothered to do the basics usually, so a full day of pampering, like at-home beauty treatments/the works would be so nice. If she could teach me the basics of sewing and share her secret for how to brush a very huffy cat's fur then that'd be an added bonus.
