Yahoi! If you don't mind, can I redesign/ draw her? I'd do it in my free time then, but I'd be giving my best!! I'm thinking about having the colors a bit more pastel-ly if that would be okay with you. Also about her tail, is it supposed to be puffy (as an example, Pinkiepies tail) or straight? Or a mixture?

Welcome!! You and I pretty much share the same reason for how and why we got into MLP. I've also always been a passive fan until last year. I hope you have fun here!

time for some hugs!!

So, for a while now I’ve been pretty interested in buying some actually printed fanfictions, and since I had birthday last Saturday I thought it might be the best time to do so I am not really familiar with any fanfiction in the mlp fandom, which IMO makes it even more exciting, I prefer to jump blindly into something than rather knowing everything about it, but still, there’s at least a little knowledge I would like to have about the content of the fanfictions when buying it. The only publisher I am aware of is Ministry of image, I've heard of some others but I either couldn't find them anywhere or I know about their existence but not their name. For example, I heard there are some on lulu(?) but I couldn't find any, unfortunately. I would really appreciate it if someone could recommend me some other publishers, just to see what kind of fanfictions they have to offer! but about the fanfics ministry of image published, I of course have some questions too, doesn't matter if someone brought them or read them online. the ones that peaked my interest where: The Enchanted library The Enchanted library really piqued my interest the most. The book cover looks beautiful, I like the alternative universe setting, and that it is centered on Twilight and Discord, (one of my favorite characters) really makes me want to read it. I read the first 2 chapters on fimfiction and I was really sure to buy it, until I found out that it has romance in it, between Rarity and Twilight. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against that ship or shipping ponys in general, but personally, I am not quite a fan of it, I want to enjoy a different and creative world-building, and not seeing them slowly develop a relationship. I'm pretty sure both can be greatly executed at the same time, but it still makes me conflicted. I am really wondering how much romance there is in the fanfiction, it would be great if someone could tell me that without any spoilers. arad stardust I wanted to initially get this book the most. Again, the alternative universe really piques my interest, it's about twilight, and it looks pretty interesting and nice overall. Bad news; it's not in stock anymore It's not even on the product site anymore, which makes me really sad that it might never get a restock. past sins I must say, I'm not quite sure if I would enjoy past sins. The story seems interesting and I heard that it is pretty popular, however idk, I rather read it online or buy it together with another book than just buying it alone. It's probably pretty fun to read and I would enjoy it once I give it a try, but dunno, I am always a little hesitant when it comes to self-made/new introduced characters, (even if they are personified versions of already existing/older characters) the time loop trilogy Dunno about this one. Sounds & looks quite interesting but on the other side, it also doesn't? It sounds like something that is fast-paced which is something I don't like to read. Just like past sins, it's more likely that I would read it online or buy it together with other books than just getting it alone. fallout equestria & background pony Fallout Equestria; now I know this is a popular one!! BUT even though it looks extremely interesting, I'm not quite sure. It seems like an original set of characters, right? I never played the Fallout game series, so I'm a little concerned if it's really for me. and since there is so much of it, I'm not sure if it would hook me? Also, I heard it has sex scenes in it? which sounds pretty random. Kinda makes me not wanna read it. There again, I would greatly appreciate it if someone could give me a rundown of the series! Background pony; I like Lyra a lot. The artworks look amazing as well as the story, yet, I know Lyra as a rather goofy, and fun pony, together with Bonbon. This change of setting got me interested, but I'm not sure if I would like to get it as my first purchase. That's something I have with Fallout Equestria as well, one of the reasons I want to buy physical copies is, except for owning and growing my book collection, is to take them with me at school/work with me, anytime, everywhere. I plan to read them when I'm on the bus, or when I have free time, and I would prefer reading something about the ponys I already grew to love with and like, then something completely new. "safe for work" is also really important here. I don't want to be in the middle of my break and then read ponys having some nsfw actions, since, I'm in public and I don't really like stuff like that in general. Plus, I am rather a closet-brony (if that is even the right term?) when I'm already being a little bit public about it, I would rather be that in a way that wouldn't get me weird looks. but anyways, I would look forward to if someone who read them or even owns them could tell me a bit about it and share their opinion as I said, other publishers suggestions would also be appreciated, as well as fanfictions (doesn't need to have a printed version.) (Also I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, I wasn't sure where this topic would belong.)

My Parents used to have one when I was younger! I always messed around with it. It was really old, like really really old, it looked like a 80's Keyboard but way bigger and heavier. I used it once for something school related, but after that I actually never saw that thing again (unfortunately.) If I ever come to find ours again, I'll definitely use it a lot for personal documents. It was really fun typing on it.

When I had my first relationship, I had a big urge to gift him something and apart from things you can buy, I wanted to gift him something special. After a while I thought making couple-bracelets would be the best Idea, since it's something easy you can wear and take off at any time. When I finished planning how they should look, I went out buying everything I needed, which was way easier than I thought I would be. When I came home that Day, I figured out that i'm really bad at making bracelets. xD At least making them look like how I planned them to be. They were supposed to be lucky knot bracelets with a small Heart-charm and our initials knotted into the Bracelets. I wanted to give him that for our first Month Anniversary, and I had like.. about 5 Days left? I struggled a lot making them (As example the rope breaking, the initial idea not working, being too thick etc.) and since I didn't had much time left, I was noticeably stressed about it. When I had 3 Days left, I noticed that I don't know his exact wrist size. Which may sound like something you would know before attending to make bracelets. But my mind was just too busy to focus on getting it to look the way I planned then actually making sure it would fit him. If I had a good prototype, then I could just adjust the size next time, right? So anyways, on Day 3 when I tried to find his size out, I asked our best friend to help me. I mean, going up to him and asking him indirectly would be too easy. I've had to make it complicated! I actually don't exactly remember what I did to find it out, but I remember that we 3 had a really awkward conversation about arm and wrists sizes/Lengths. On the same Day though, I was able to finish up his Bracelet and mine was about 80% finished up, so I thought i'd finish it tomorrow when I have free time, so took everything with me. The next Day, Day 2 before our Anniversary, he called me to him earlier, (on that Day we were celebrating something for him, so our best friend, his friends and a bunch of other people came.) and said that he'd noticed that I was acting stressed and weird the last couple of days and asked if something was wrong and if I had something to say. I did tell him that I've had something planned, since I didn't wanted him to worry, but he insisted to know what it is, he was even a little angry. Which I thought was weird, so I told him about the couple bracelets I was making and gave him his. He thanked me and laughed about it, which kinda made me upset since he was so angry seconds earlier, it seemed like he didn't took It serious at all, and rather if a friends gifts you something they don't need anymore. Welpie. I told our best friend about what happened and she told me that it was a normal reaction and the idea of making bracelets was stupid to begin with. After the celebration, he called me to him again and dumped me. Saying things like "It's not you it's me", "We still can be friends" etc. I didn't understood why then, and I was really really sad about the fact that I just got dumped, so my big brain younger self thought, you know what, the best way to safe this situation is to call our best friend over, who was in another Room and to have her "fix" it. Didn't worked as planned, since all she said was "oh ok.". After accepting what just happened, I still stayed there for like.. another hour? because the actual plan for that Day was to do a short celebration and then spend time together, him, our best friend and me. It was a weird and depressing Hour for sure lol. I never saw him wear that bracelet on that Day. I think I even saw it in this crash can in his room when i left. To make things even worse, after 1-2 Weeks I found out that our best friend and him are dating, apparently they even dated when he was in a relationship with me. It was really depressing back then, but it became a really funny memory now. There were a lot of red flags my younger self didn't notice, at all!

PS Vita. I absolutely loved my DSI and spent most of my childhood playing it, but somehow the Vita is more personal to me. Might be the fact that around the time I got my Vita, I discovered that "Anime games" are a thing. It just gives me so much nostalgia, it was such a easy and fun time. It really makes me sad that the Vita flopped here, it was really a good handheld. But for non-nostalgic reasons; I think the PS4 is solid, I'm using it for more than 5 years now and I didn't had any difficulties with it. Although when it comes to gaming, i'd still prefer playing on a PC (even though I totally suck at playing with a Mouse and Keyboard lmao.)

I miss the theme shop you had on the DSI. Having the option to "customize" your device with a Wallpaper + Music from a Game/Show/Brand was just mind-blowing to me. I've spent way to many money on themes tbh lol. The Switch as it is just looks extremely blank, it's just.. I don't know how to describe it, I wouldn't say it is ugly, but it is not really good looking either. Now imagine you had the option to have a wallpaper behind it, or even a border around the games in the Menu. It may look a little bit loaded, but It would look way better imo. Especially Pokemon and Zelda ones. I actually prefer that the Switch doesn't have a Menu (song-) theme, but it would be cool if it had one, or at least a chance to have one. Another thing is how you had "games" to socialize with other People. Mii plaza, PictoChat, that one game where you could write letters to each other, Miiverse, you name it. Even though i'm pretty sure I don't need to explain why those application closed, (looking at you, Miiverse) you can't deny that it was fun. It was a good time. Now it's something funny and cringy to look back and laugh at. People still talk about it and remember it for what it was. Nintendo for me is exactly that. Having a good time with people. If its strangers, your family or friends. Taking that away from a whole generation just feels... weird. It sure would be difficult to add something similar to them, when you keep in mind how unpersonal and standard the Switch menu is. One could argue if we need another social app for Kids considering how many kids nowadays already use social media, but still having one from Nintendo for Nintendo systems still hits different. The Switch, without all those things, isn't as memorable and fun compared to the Wii and the DS. It is a good console but, it just feels soulless. Even the Xbox One seems to have a somewhat personality compared to the Switch.

It's interesting seeing this pop up again today For me I guess... I'm used to it? Like, I like being alone, I prefer being alone in most cases. But of course loneliness hits everypony sometimes. Recently I felt lonely a lot. I don't have a lot of contact anymore with the most important people of my life and.. you get used to not speaking to them, even though it sounds extremely sad and unimaginable. But for me, we know why we chosen to not speak for a while. It was for everyones best and its not like we will never be like that again. If the right time comes, we may be together again, doing dumb shit like we did the last years. I think that's why I don't feel loneliness so much, since I understand and see that it is really hard for people to be/stay lonely. I'm 80% of my day alone, doing things alone. When I feel lonely, I just remember the fun I had when I wasn't instead of 80% just 50% lonely. I think the biggest problem for me personally is hitting up new People. Like how are you supposed to get new friends without feeling anxious all the time? I'll be completely honest, I didn't had many (good) long-term friendships, especially not in real life. I never found them necessary in particular as well. Like I said im fine alone, but making friends is kind of a great but also scary thing to do. Rarely does a friendship hold more than 3 months, or it is just somepony you hit up every few months, talk a bit and then not have any contact whatsoever again. But this might also be on me, since im also terrible at responding back . Anyways. Yeah in short, when I feel lonely, I remember good times. when remembering good times doesn't help, I remember how difficult and scary (but also wonderful and exciting, don't get me wrong) making new friends can be. Timidity and laziness just beats loneliness for me. But that's also why I joined this Forum, I want to make new friendships. I'm sorry if I went a little bit off topic there. ;; Happy Heart and Hooves Day to whoever is reading this today.
