  1. Well I guess I would take the train since it seems to go to nearly every corner of Equestria, and it seems to be the most convenient and fastest mode of transportation, though a zeppelin would be really neat to do for sightseeing cruises and such around cities like Manehatten Of course as an earth pony I would still end up dong lots of walking regardless, I guess that's kind of unavoidable though
  2. I have to agree, it does look a little off Look at how fluffy Luna's mane and tail looks, you could just bury your face into them and probably get lost lol
  3. Ahahahah you guys must really love me, over 163 notifications? I think I'm gonna have to pass reading through them all please forgive me :kindness: And yes I am back from Mexico! Me and Twilight had an amazing time, it was so great we got to do so much stuff but we had plenty of time to do it with how long our vacation was. It was great for over a week having my only worries being what buffet I wanted to eat at, if I wanted to go to the beach and build sandcastles or go to the pool and relax :D Unfortunately with the way our room was booked by our travel agent we did not have the complementary spa visit included in our stay (which Rarity would have made a big fuss over I'm sure :devious:) but that wasn't a big deal and the resort where we stayed was all-inclusive so I only had to pay out tip money :yay: I took a photo of Twilight in her little sombrero I had bought for her one of the first days we were down there too! ^_^ Doesn't she just look adorable? :adorkable:

    I was in Cancun so of course that meant I had to visit one of the seven wonders of the world not too far away for a day-trip excursion off resort property, I took an absolute ton of photos but I'll only post two to keep this from getting too long. The first one is of me standing in front of the main temple of chichen itza (this building is the world wonder!) and it was super surreal to actually be there! (and yes I'm wearing my princess Luna t-shirt because I had to represent ponies somehow!) :LunaMCM1:

    And this photo is of me standing in front of the ancient Mayan observatory that they used to track the moon and the stars, it was quite impressive how advanced they were considering how long ago their civilization existed :sunbutt:

    After visiting the Mayan ruins we were taken to this old sinkhole that had been filled up with water and we got to go swimming in it! It was so beautiful with all these tree roots coming down over the edge into the water, there was even a little waterfall that came out of the rocks too it was amazing! :love: The water was pretty cold though :>_>:

    IMG_20210406_135623996_HDR.thumb.jpg.8cb17cb26612f8baa5b37c1d554fad63.jpg

    The day after we did all the Mayan stuff we went on a boat ride out this small island just off the coast from Cancun, it was great I really loved the island and the beaches were so amazing, the water too was so blue, I took a photo from the boat because I couldn't believe how clean and blue it was! (it was almost as blue as Rainbow Dash!) :dash:

    Anyways me and Twilight had a really great time but I was ready to get back home by the end and get back into my own space and my own bedroom, I was starting to miss you guys too :squee: I hope you all had an amazing past week and let me know if you guys want to see more pictures of the Mayan ruins, like I said I took a lot and there's a lot more that I can explain from what I learned but I didn't want this to turn into a stupidly long status update lol :laugh: Also now that I'm back you expect to see me around the forums and on Discord again! I'm back and more sunburned than ever! :muffins:

  6. Alright you guys, this is it, the final art status update that I'll ever post :( I have no more art now, but that's okay, I really hope you guys enjoyed all the past pieces of art that I posted here! So this very last piece of art was essentially the final masterpiece that we had to create for the class, and I'm actually really really happy with how this one turned out, it really looks amazing and I really hope you guys enjoy it! :wub:

    Alright here it is, the final piece of art, my masterpiece- Approaching Storm 

    479591166_ApprochingStorm.thumb.jpg.d7c07f8a3036c509d27c69061a66f3f7.jpg   

    My painting Approaching Storm is actually based off of this photo that I took when me and my mother went up to Duluth last year- 

    IMG_20200808_184724083.thumb.jpg.04bf6eff5035645891808687f61bc6d9.jpg

    And as a bonus I'll include the first draft of this painting as well! :yay:

    1436941794_ApprochingStormfirstdraft.thumb.jpg.d0e4de3e2ba2f540b15d7e859ce36820.jpg

    The only things that I would like to have added on was white-caps to the waves to make the lake look angrier in the face of this oncoming storm, and some darker clouds right underneath the lighter cloud ribbon, but I ran out of time so I never was able to get that stuff added. 

    Well, there it is! That's all I have left, I really do hope you guys enjoyed my little visual art gallery ;) I guess I'll have to find something else to make status updates about now lol :ooh:

      @TomDaBombMLPThank you! I'm glad you enjoyed my work! And don't worry, I'll try to think of something here for new status updates in the future :yay:

      Very lovely!

      Sad to see the gallery come to an end though :( 

  7. I remember a few times in High School I wore my MLP shirt (my mom back then wasn't a big fan of me wearing pony stuff to school so I had to be sneaky about wearing anything pony to school). By the time I started college she had loosened up about the "no ponies in public" rule so I openly wore several MLP shirts to class on several different occasions, in fact I even brought in my Fallout Equestria hardcover book and used it as a prop in my Public Speaking class in which I basically stood in front of the class and told them all about FOE, it was great Of course since the virus hit I haven't had any in-person classes so I haven't really been wearing my pony shirts, however I did wear one today when I met up with Lucky Bolt and Sliding Bolt from right here on the forums irl at a restaurant not too far from where I live, so that was really neat
  8. Happy April Fools day to everypony! :yay: I hope you've all had a wonderful week so far! :squee: I'm making this status update because I wanted to share with all you guys some neat photos that I took today with @Sliding Boltand @Lucky Bolt! Lucky has recently decided to move up to Minnesota to be with Sliding, so they're both only about 20 minutes away from where I live now! :fluttershy: Lucky even got a new job in the next town over from where I live so she'll be in my area a lot now! ^_^ Me and them decided to all meet up today at this steakhouse in the downtown of where I live and we had some big huge burgers and fries and slices of pie! It was really good and I got to meet Lucky for the first time! She's really nice irl and we had a great few hours together, I'm hoping that after this next week the three of us will be able to do some other things together, they're both really great and I enjoyed my time with them! :wub: I took some photos of it too! 

    Here's me and Lucky in front of Sliding's car, I got her to hold my Rainbow Dash plush! B)

    And here's a photo of Rainbow Dash on the hood of Sliding's car defying the laws of gravity! Nothing can keep that Pegasus grounded! :fabulous:

    IMG_20210401_125713497.thumb.jpg.c6fc26392c5533740c3e36afdb000b83.jpg

    It was a fun day today and like I said, I hope to be able to do something with them again another time! :-D

    Also a very important announcement: I will be leaving for Mexico on Saturday, and I won't be back until next Saturday. I'm going go a beach resort in Cancun for my younger brother's high school senior year spring break trip, so I will be completely offline for the next week here. I promise to take all sorts of cool photos of ponies on the beach! We're also going to go to the ruins of Chichen Itza, an ancient Mayan city with a huge temple that's on the list of the new seven wonders of the world :mlp_yeehaa: It's going to be a lot of fun and I'm really looking forward to being able to unwind after a year of world turbulence last year :mlp_smile: Also I will post my final Art Status update for you all tomorrow, I hope you all like my final piece of art! I worked really hard on it, you'll see! :mlp_pinkie:

  9. The live action Mulan actually was so bad that it was culturally offensive to the Chinese (which is why it performed so poorly over there). An example for Americans could be a story set in the US Civil War, but the story is so butchered that the north is for slavery, the south is using machine guns and everybody is speaking Japanese. It was NOT an impressive movie and it was overall handled pretty poorly. Unfortunately the same could be said for a few other Disney live action remakes, however an exception is the the live-action Jungle Book movie which was actually pretty decent. Not everything that Disney makes is going to be some fantastic thing, and so far many of their live-action movies have just been huge disappointments. I would rather talk about the original charming animated movies than their disappointing "remakes" I've never seen this movie but I have seen reviews for it and it looks rather well-done.... I'll give it a 7/10 (take it with a grain of salt though since I've never seen the movie). I'll say Onward again, may be the pony below me has seen it?
  10. 0/10 for the soulless "live action" remake and a 9/10 for the animated original- I've only seen it a couple times actually but I specifically remember liking that movie a lot when I was little (and now I know that it's because of how well done it is). How about the original Mulan movie?
  11. The Element of books Twilight Sparkle takes a keen interest in your element
  12. I pre-ordered the Luna bishoujo statue back on Friday! Now it's just a waiting game for whenever the Celestia one comes out! I will have them both
  13. Hello everypony! I hope you all had wonderful weekends! :yay: Mine went by fast but that's okay, I'm ready to tackle this upcoming week! :mlp_smug: I thought I'd change it up and post my art status update over the weekend instead of during the week like I normally do, also, this will be the second-to-last art status update I'll be making :( Over these past several weeks that I've been posting the art updates I've slowly gone though every single piece of art that I made during my art class last semester, after next week (which will be the final piece) I guess I'll find to find something else to make updates for, I don't know what that will be just yet though :huh: Anyways, onto the art! This week I'll a piece that I called "Croquet Scene" and it's essentially working with environments and people, I hope you guys like it! :)

    Final Draft-

      @ExplosionMare @Windy Breeze Thank you guys for the kind words! :wub: If you want to Windy, you can go into my status updates on my profile and go through some of my older ones, I've been making these art updates for about a month or more though like I said, this is going to be the second to last one because I'm running out of art to show ^_^

  14. I'd bap them on the head with a rolled-up newspaper because ponies aren't allowed on the couch
