Ice Princess Silky <3

Annoyed by how hot and humid it is outside when I have to get things done outside Dx

No. Trust me. That was literally the first word @Luna the Great of all the Russias ever said to me and he regrets it. c: lead to an eternal forced friendship. jk. No but on text there is this new scam going on where they simply say “hello” and you respond back because it is human nature to be curious and long story short they 1. Find out your number is active. 2. Act like it was an accident but they are seeking new friends, etc. Blegh! I just avoid strangers and strange numbers in general. D: The worst part is that it is not even grammatical. They do not say “hello.” But rather just “hello” and THAT is worse than the scam! D: just block! So, the takeaway lesson here seems to be... Text with: Hello. <-- eternal forced friendship. Text with: Hello (no punctuation) -- SCAM!!! See? I be doin' yew an educ8 :v

I hate getting a text like “hello.” Or “OMG $6000 was just taken out of your account!! Click this link to cancel!!” Who are you people? Leave me alone! >:0 other than that, I hate nothing about texting. Just another form of communication. O! No wait I hate when I speak derp speech to friends and then the autocorrect saves it and then I can never type the original word ever again because.. cursed forever! D:

Love has been such a pure feeling for me as of late. There really are no words for it. Like, a deep respect. An enhanced awareness for both the will and well being of the other person. I am not a secular person so I would dare to convey the sensation as something quite… soul-like? But if you are secular then the feeling would be akin to something like a deep reverence or awe… something of deep respect. Where you do not put yourself first but rather the other person. You wish not to hurt or control or capture but rather to kindle and cultivate so that the beauty of its autonomy continues and when it is reciprocated.. then wow, I believe it is a feeling beyond this physical world. “Out of this world.” Quite literally. But for romantic love.. hah! I am quite sentimental and cheesy, so, all of the above but with all the floooofy fuzzy feelings! ;~; I have suspected that people experience love quite differently. Based on how I have heard their experience or descriptions. Some people like the intensity, some of them like the toxic, others like the traditional or the alternative. Etc I love seeing how people experience it differently and share their thoughts, it is quite fascinating. I like this.

I wish you knew just how much this resonates with me. In fact, it resonates so hard, I will respond with an image made to reflect exactly this. Your level of perception is uncanny. (Silky and @Sir Hugsalot) O my gosh.. Crypty with the X-ray vision D: das cheating! Am a formidable and icy foe! Rawrrrr

I shall keep my fingers crossed for you! I love a nice positive anticipation. I know some other people are going through a hard time. Hang in there, okay? ;~; it's easy to look at others and think the grass is greener but life is just one giant rollercoaster with highs and lows. As for myself... feeling hungry as heck! Who the heck would have thought one would get hungry from nonstop working and mischief.

I am thinking that was soooo smooothy. Slippery icy slick. ^~^

She looks so soft and elegant!! Good job!!!

Not a bad thought. Generally this site is like a home where you take your dirty shoes off before stepping through the door. That way, everything feels nice and clean and cozy. Does having a clean house means that we believe dirt does not exist? No. Does that mean politics disappear? No. Religion? No. Chaos? No. It just means you leave the bad at the door, come together to enjoy nice things and our more positive traits because we are aware that there is enough craziness in the world. So, if learning to lighten* up through a persona works for you, great. So long as you sincerely enjoy yourself and use it to recharge rather than escapism. That is what I am thinking, anyway. Take it all with a grain of salt, I am not here to be a dictator. Not yet.

Thinking about things that I have to do. And manage. So tiring.

They really are. And it's been nice. I still feel a bit anxious as there are some things to smooth out still but so far... so good. And friends always make things easier.

Whoa. That is pretty bad for the element of kindness to eventually blow her fuse. Goodness! The show used to annoy me with always trying to "reform" all the bad guys. I understand it is just a kid's show but for me, what is made me indignant was the principle of the matter for those trying to apply it irl. I am not "reforming" people who legitimately wish not to change, do nothing to change and even enjoy the thrill of 'not changing' harming others. I CAN teach them a little bit of empathy by placing them in a room with their own kind and showing them why harming others is not so fun afterall. (but, see, now that is just my evil side showing and that is not for you to see D: ) *mortal kombat theme plays as Silky shouts: FITE* Ahem! Anywho... I appreciate your genuine two cents on this. Admittedly, I was rather nervous making this post because I know how controversial these topics can be. Especially on a platform which ideally wishes to see the best in everyone. And believe me, we really do. We are just... also... realistic about these things.

*happy gasp* YOU DID IT!!!!

Thank you, lovely. I do try my best. Until the "n" in nice is removed.

CRYPTY LOOK AT YOUR TIME TRAVELING MADNESS CONFUSING US ALL AGAIN! D: What did ya mean?!

You're hired!

See? You know me all too well. Top Secret information, there. All jokes aside, I really do appreciate your words and good faith. You of all people have seen me at my worst in moderation matters when I am outraged at having uncovered something that was attempted to be hidden for some nefarious motive. And it is always embarrassing to me for people to see my outraged side because I go full hydra mode and it is overall not the most flattering look. *giggle* O you know I value your input. I am not asking people to objectively agree with me here or they shall get banned. *giggles* I am merely aiming for more transparency as to my nature and what I shall not tolerate. We used to be VERY lax on toxic people, hell, we used to even believe they "needed a place" to feel they belong and guess what happened? Well... not good stuff and the topic would be rather depressing but let me just say... they are simply not welcomed here and are encouraged to take their motives elsewhere. This is my stance on this and you are free to disagree. Sadly, after everything the community has seen and been through, your disagreement may not change anything. Awww, thank you for understanding! I just remember a time when one could log onto this site and meet so many beautiful gems! After a certain cesspool started forming... those gems rightfully fled and that made me sad to see. Would prefer it to be the reverse, tbh. Yeah. My Admin quote is "Do not be so naive as to mistake innocence for naivety" stands true for a reason. Innocence just means one is not guilty of something. Naivety is what a person is if they confuse innocence for naivety and try to harm the innocent because of that mistake. I always hated the phrase! LOL! Mainly because I would only see it as a shield to deflect justice being brought towards someone who provoked it. XD Was that Aristotle? Would explain why you are still here.

Please read at your own discretion as I am simply trying to keep things authentic and communicate my head space on these more personal matters. ICE BREAKER SILKY: GOOD, EVIL OR NEUTRAL? Art credit to Wizard (Ice Breaker Silky represents my current state of mind. So, while she will be referenced as my OC, she will also be a reference to myself, at times.) Firstly, I do not like being described as "good" and there are many reasons for why. The term "good" implies that I am somehow morally superior to everyone else, somehow flawless and above the average person in some way, shape or form. Not to mention, it implies that I am some sort of saint, incapable of doing wrong or encountering a moral dilemma when confronted with many themes related to different cultures, beliefs, topics, etc. And this is simply not the case. That is too much responsibility for me and potentially disappointing anyone is far too much of a weight on my heart. best to release it and just cut to the chase. I believe that if I were merely a concept or idea, then perhaps I could be flawless. But even my OC, Silky, whom I portray as the better aspect of myself -- has flaws. Even in her innocent pursuit for knowledge and friendship, she can accidentally step on someone's toes. And some ponies are apparently allergic to magic, like Splashee, (whom she may or may not have accidentally encased in a magical capsule into oblivion for all of eternity -- but that is another story for another time). The point is, even our flawless concepts can be flawed despite our attempts to make things right. This is proof that we are mortal. So, I do not like or prefer not to be described as "good." However, I also find maliciousness, edginess, the desire to trick, hurt or otherwise maim another living being to be repugnant where others might find it "cool." So, I hope not to ever fall under the category of evil, either. For me, I identify myself as neutral. Being seen as good can cause some users to be too intimated or feel "less than" to approach. I cannot tell you how many times a user has felt intimidated or "less than" when standing by me! First of all, if you ever need any help or have to speak up about anything, I encourage you to approach. Seeing someone as "too above you" or feeling too unworthy just to talk or speak up makes me want to see myself even less of a good person if it means breaking the ice! So, a few helpful points. The way I work is like this: I am generally kind and courteous to everyone. You may be a shocked stranger to wonder what did you do to deserve such kindness. But here is my official answer as to why that is. I am kind because I am fully aware of how horrible this world can be, how harsh even the internet can be. And when you meet someone -- you never know what headspace they are in -- why be rude or harsh and push them further on edge? Everyone has their story, their roots, their tragedies. I cannot tell you how much a simple act of kindness has caused people to reconsider their dark thoughts and even their own entire life. Even in person, I offer a brief smile to a stranger on occasion and they smile back as if grateful to encounter a friendly face. You just never know what people are going through. So why not be kind? It costs you nothing and can save everything. Why add to an already saturated world of not-good things? But there is another layer to this. My being kind to you means one other thing: You have no record with me. If you ever meet someone whom I refuse to be kind to, you can rest assured, 100% with objective evidence, that they did something vile to deserve it. Repeatedly. I am an incredibly forgiving person, because I myself, am not perfect. And because I know what it is like to be in a dark place, flawed or lost. I repeatedly forgive -- but I am not immortal. Both my patience and my resources are limited, so anyone who wears that down is met with an exhaustion (at best) or the conclusion that being kind will only be weaponised against me or worse -- seen as a weakness. Therefore, the kindness shall cease and shall be met with a reciprocal language. Just to make sure that communication gets through. Which brings me to my other side. My darker side. I find that... not everyone responds well to kindness and wish to return it with harm or spite. A friend of mine tells it like this, "Some people prefer the carrot, others prefer the stick." Let's just say, I prefer to avoid the people who like the stick. I can block, ban or generally avoid them. What is the point in just being toxic to each other when we can all just enjoy nice things? But it is VERY difficult to reach this point on me because I am THAT patient. How to get banned by Silky, personally: Confirmed malice. Deception. Will to trick or harm other users. I am not in the business of banning folk. But the few times that I have banned -- and luckily -- it is quite few in the past decade, has been when a user has been objectively proven to be malicious, deceptive, cruel or not having good intentions towards the community. If anyone whines to you about how they were unfairly banned by me, for whatever reason, I happily encourage you to please message me and ask for the abundance of evidence that will reveal more to whatever they are trying to convey. However, that will most likely not happen, because luckily - it is quite rare to encounter. But because it is quite rare it does hit me quite hard and makes me rather cynical. Especially when I wish to see the best in everyone. But there it is. I am neither good, nor do I take delight in evil. I am quite neutral. If you are kind to me, I am kind to you. If you are not kind to me, I assume I am probably just not your cup of tea and I move on. But let me catch you hurting someone or committing some form of malice and I will ban you so damn hard -- your ancestors will feel it to their core from the future and feel like absolute failures. But with that said. Luckily, it is a rare occasion. c: "BUT SILKY, WAIT!!! YOU ARE SUCH A GOOD PERSON!!! AND TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT!!" Yeah, see? Another reason why I prefer not to identify as a good person. Not only will you be disappointed in my response, but you will find that I am quite snarky when met with malicious people. My answer to the phrase above is quite simply, "basic math, love. Two negatives equals a positive. NEXT!" But overall, I am patient, I do like to practice kindness, I am a work in progress, myself and I do take pride in knowing that it takes A LOT to push me on edge. But regardless of how malicious a person can be, you will find they will always try to play victim, so always try to get both sides if you wish to be unbiased and fair. And most importantly, if anyone tries to harm or isolate you, please report them to me immediately. >:3 It is so interesting to hear their creative stories of how innocent and "good" they are. Other than that, you will find me sleeping on a cloud just chillin. Minding my own business or goofing off with friends around here. But in a very... neutral way.
