  1. I have not read much fanfic to be honest. Not because I'm not interested, but just because I don't have a whole lot of time. But sure maybe I'll give it a read. As for writing any fanfics myself? Not really. I have ideas for some, but haven't had the chance to write any of them down. After rewatching Make Your Mark I really want to write a Sprout fanfic because I feel kind of bad that the show kind of forgot about him and unlike Misty he didn't get an actual redemption arc. I'd like to rectify that if I can through a fan fiction. And it would be fun to do. I'm also probably as much as a horror fan as I am an animation fan and one of my favorite horror franchises is Final Destination. Prior to Bloodlines release I had this idea for a fanfic involving Bludworth because I love the character and his actor so, but because of the newest movie my idea no longer makes sense. But I'd still like to write it because I thought my idea cool. Bloodlines is definitely a good movie though if you're into horror and slasher movies. Speaking of, I wish someone would make a horror cartoon in the vein of Courage the Cowardly Dog (one of my favorite cartoons), but for adults. It would be so cool! I don't know if you've seen it, but they finally made a crossover movie where Scooby and the gang meets Courage. As soon as I saw the DVD at my local Target I bought it haha and it was awesome! I had a similar idea before the movie in my head involving those two meeting, so it was awesome to see the movie's existence. Out of all of the Scooby Doo crossovers to me the Courage one made the most sense.
  2. Well, this particular incident happened several years ago, so I probably improved a lot since then. I hope so anyway. Even before joining that forum I had roleplayed elsewhere for a couple of years, so even then I was not totally new at it. The only time I did stuff like one liners was during chat plays. But I mainly do paragraph role-plays especially when I have a lot of material to work with and am passionate about the character I'm playing. I always try to give my partners enough to work with. But anyways, the person from this one forum was pretty rude with what they said about my writing to the point of being downright insulting. They made fun of me and my posts. This one post I had written in particular they and their friends constantly mocked. I don't like being made to feel worthless, but that's how they made me feel. Writing is pretty much my only hobby, so to be told that I'm not even good at that made me feel pretty useless. Even if my post was bad they didn't have to put me down like that. Roleplaying is meant to be fun nothing serious after all. Thanks to those people though the forum that I originally loved and had so much fun on no longer was fun and became toxic, so I left. I couldn't find anybody wanting to rp with me there anymore anyway, so no point staying. I have no proof, but I have suspected that those rude people were telling other members not to rp with me. It was so weird because I originally had tons of threads there and a lot of people did want to rp with me. I was even involved in several plots with several members. It was the strangest thing, not long after the rude group started making fun of me my rp partners told me they were no longer interested in our plots. I asked them why, but they wouldn't say. One or two rp partners losing interest. Okay. It happens. But all of them at once. Too weird to be a mere coincidence! Apologies for the rant, but yeah I just wanted to give you a little context. If you want to see a sample of a role-play post I made not too long ago let me know and I can send you one. But I don't have any from that forum I was talking about. The computer I had used at the time had died and sadly all of my files disappeared. I saved them on an usb, but it broke, so yeah those old posts are all gone sadly. I only have some from newer forums I've been on. As for a teacher I don't have time to take any classes right now. Really busy with my job. But right now I'm just writing to have fun, so don't really need a teacher for that. One day though I really would love to try to publish something. It's kind of my dream to be a published author even if I don't ever become famous. Just being published would be awesome!
  3. I think the main reason I personally dislike this episode so much is because I truly understand what Pinkie is going through. It never feels good to be told to give up on something you love and enjoy doing even more so when it is your own loved ones telling you this. I myself have been told on previous rp forums that I should give up on writing and roleplaying because they said I sucked at it. Even though it hurt and angered me (mainly because the way they told me that and they told me some other stuff too that really upset me that I won't get into on here) I tried to understand their pov. I asked them to be more specific; like why they thought I sucked at rping and what I could do to possibly improve. But they never elaborated. Instead they just blocked me and deleted everything they previously posted in my threads. Hard to take anyone seriously when they don't explain themselves and instead resort to hiding. But I don't want to quit roleplaying because I love writing too much to just quit. Besides, how else am I supposed to improve if I just give up? How's anybody supposed to improve on what they love doing if they just quit for that matter? Many famous authors weren't accepted right away. Edgar Allen Poe, Stephen King, Joanne Katheleen Rowling; the list goes on...
  4. Totally late, I know, but it is indeed a real shame nothing like that happened. Would have been interesting to see Pipp dealing with rejection and learning that not everyone is going to like you no matter how hard you try. The idea reminds me of this episode in Tangled where there is this one old grumpy guy who doesn't like Rapunzel and poor Rapunzel tries everything to get the guy to like her as well as trying to figure out why he hates her so much. In the end, Rapunzel just ends up accepting that not everyone is going to like you. This plot was also done in an episode of Recess with this one random kid saying how he doesn't like TJ and poor TJ going crazy nuts trying to get the guy to like him. But nothing he did worked and the kid gives the lame reason of just not liking TJ for no real reason. But yeah in the end TJ learns the same lesson of not everyone is going to like you. Mrs. Finster cracked me up at the end. Mrs. Finster: "Detweiler, just because I give you detention doesn't mean I don't like you."
  5. I sure do! Here's Rapid's: https://mlpforums.com/character/402-rapid-quill/ Nook Cranny's: https://mlpforums.com/character/243-nook-cranny/ Nook Cranny's pretty physical and Rapid Quill is pretty sneaky and tricky. They'll both probably come up with clever plans and interesting ways to do stuff.
  6. Nice to see I won't be the only new person signing up. I think I'll use either Nook Cranny or Rapid Quill. Here's hoping they can at least knock over a few leaves.
  7. I'm just finishing up rewatching Make Your Mark and in the Mane Smelody episode a Breezie gifts a mysterious locket to Sunny and later during a fight against Opaline we see that the locket houses a rainbow in it. Sound familiar? It should. My question is, is this the same locket as the one the Moochick gave Megan in Gen 1 in the Rescue At Midnight Castle episode? The one that houses the rainbow of light. That's kind of cool if it is meant to be the same locket and rainbow! Sunny totally has Megan's rainbow of light. Looks just like it and it has a rainbow. Coincidence? I think not!
  8. I completed it and got them all right, so if anybody needs help let me know and I'll point you in the right direction.
  9. Aw thank you for the welcome and the support. As for an oc. I do have a couple I just don't know which one to choose. Is there a limit on how many or...? I'll have to think about who to pick. It's just I love all my ocs and like them all to have a chance to shine and develop.
  10. Pristine Polish felt her face redden as Twilight inform her that she was oversimplifying events. “Oh, I’m sorry Your Highness. I…I didn’t mean to oversimplify your exploits,” she quickly apologized as she nervously drug her hoof along the ground. “I just sometimes feel that villains choose to do evil because they lack the intelligence necessary to contribute to the world in a positive matter. Apologies if that’s also wrong.” She managed a small smile as the purple alicorn began to sign her book. “Aw thank you Princess Twilight. You have no idea how much this means to me,” the excitable blue unicorn thanked, clearly grateful. At Twilight’s question, Pristine’s ears lowered as she looked nervously at the ground. She wasn’t surprised that Twilight asked her which entries she found the most relatable. Clearly, the princess wanted to see for herself just how much of the book she read. Well, she did read it. That wasn’t the problem. It’s just difficult to pinpoint which entries relate to her when she herself didn’t really have any actual friends besides her own sister. And it wasn’t like she didn’t want any either. It’s just every time she tried to make a new friend they would either laugh at her or pretend to be her friend only to use her for something. Not a good feeling at all. She felt herself sweating as she struggled to come up with something. As she stood there thinking Rainbow Dash signed and flew away in a sure fire hurry. The blue unicorn could hardly blame her. She probably was too slow and boring for the speedy pegasus who clearly had better things to do then to hang out with a nobody like her. The others also signed and left super fast. Watching then leave one by one made Pristine feel self conscious as though there was something terribly wrong with her? ‘Oh no what if they left because they can see right through me? What if they figured out that I have no friends and that my own parents don’t want anything to do with me because I’m not a big famous celebrity like my amazing sister?’ She asked herself freaking out. The only two who remained were Twilight and Rarity. “Well yes I for sure read the book. It’s just hard for me to choose just one because they’re all so good! It’s um just too bad Rainbow Dash had…had to leave in such a hurry because I really did like her one lesson where she stuck by her teammates instead of joining Cloudsdale; which were her heroes, so the decision was especially hard for her. I also liked Applejack’s lesson about the dangers of being brutally honest. You know that time when you asked to be a judge for your fashion contest,” she said looking right at Rarity. “And I really liked your lesson, Rarity about being generous to your friends after they showed you so much kindness like the time you went to Manhattan and your rival stole your fashion idea and totally copied it. But instead of just giving up you were able to make a whole new line with the generous help of your friends. I really liked that story. Oh oh and Fluttershy’s lesson where she learns to become more assertive and stand up for herself in a healthy way instead of being a total bully about it. And the other Fluttershy lessons I really liked was the one where she at first thought what she offered was too small to make a difference, but then she learned that it wasn’t. That as long as you always do your best what you have to offer will always be enough. And I also liked the one where she got over her shyness enough for her to share her amazing singing voice with other ponies. Fluttershy really has come a long way. You all did.” Realizing she just said a mouthful she took a deep breath. “Sorry I feel like I rambled a bit. Just so many good lessons!” She then looked over at the mysterious cloaked pony who finally told her her name. “Obsidia. That’s a pretty name. Sorry if I’m a bit much. I can get that way whenever I’m excited or nervous about something. I know it’s silly…” At Rarity’s offer of when they should go hang out together and drink tea, Pristine thought a moment. She did only just arrive and would like to have some time to get her things together and settle in some before doing any major hanging out. “Hm, well I do need some time to unpack before I do too much. Will next week work for you?” She then asked. “And are you absolutely certain you want to hang out with me? I’m not really anybody special,” she asked feeling self-conscious as she looked sadly at the ground ears lowered. @Skylight Scintillate @Iridescent Edge
  11. Oh wow this looks fun! I'm new, so never participated in this or any other event for that matter before. So no idea what this particular event was like in previous years. Regardless, it looks fun! So if I may I'd like to participate too. I just don't know if I can be super active since I do have a job, but I'll try to post when I can. Also I've never rped using dice before, so not sure how that works. Sorry about being such a noob!
  12. What would my cutie mark be if I were a fictional magical pony living in Equestria? Hmmm...what a fun question for sure! Mine would either represent my love for writing, roleplaying or my love of video games. So it could be a journal and a pen or an Xbox video game controller since I play Xbox.
  13. Nook Cranny: The light pink pegasus was surprised that the blue unicorn didn't respond to her moment of envy towards the Mane 6. She just cocked her head to the side and nodded when Ghostie mentioned not having any other plans for the day. "Oh okay. Would you like to accompany me to Rarity's Boutique? I just love seeing the look on ponies faces whenever I return their missing item to them. It just fills me with such...such joy! Know what I mean? It's like fulfillment and excitement all rolled into one big wonderfully happy feeling," Nook happily explained as she started to hover above the sleepy unicorn. "And after we can stop by this really cute boba tea shop! They make this really amazing strawberry one that is to die for! Though that is definitely an extreme exaggeration on my part. But, the drinks there are definitely worth checking out," the clairvoyant then suggested.
  14. I hope it's cool that I made it where Rarity was the one who lost a hat. I wasn't sure who else to use except maybe a random npc, but where's the fun in that? Anywho I also have a Diamond Dog character that I was thinking of introducing to this site. Unlike the nasty ones Rarity came across in that one episode, my Diamond Dog, Eddie is actually really friendly. He turned his love for gems into a positive and became a jeweler. Does anybody else have a Diamond Dog character?
  15. Nook Cranny: Looking at the strange pony, Nook nodded. Observing her she realized that not only did she have strange looking eyes, but her horn also looked a bit bent yet another sore subject she was sure and only a super rude pony or creature would dare bring it up. "Oh I see. It is certainly an interesting place to take a nap and bonus plenty of apples to snack on if you ever get hungry," she observed provided the Apple family wouldn't mind a few missing apples. "So have you any plans for the day? I myself was on my way to Rarity's Boutique to return this one of a kind fedora to her. She sort of lost it during one of her Save Equestria adventures, but I was able to find it for her," Nook explained with a bit of a sigh. "Life must really be exciting for an element of harmony. It must feel amazing to be able to save the day the way they do and making a huge difference in the world. Meanwhile, all I can do is find missing hats. Big deal," she said, a bit jealous of the Mane 6. She didn't mean to be and knew it was wrong, but sometimes she just couldn't help herself. Nook herself was a pretty adventurous pony and while she has stopped the occasional thief as her superhero alter ego, Night Watcher; it's nowhere on the same scale as what the Mane 6 do.
  16. Smiling, Nook took the unicorn's hoof and shook it. "It's nice to meet you, Ghostie. So not to be nosy or anything, but this is kind of a strange place to take a nap, isn't it? Wouldn't you be more comfortable sleeping at home? Oh, did Discord bring you here too?" she asked out of curiosity. She noticed the blue unicorn's eyes were really strange looking, but she knew better than to ask about them. She rather figured it was a sore subject matter.
  17. Pristine continued to smile and nodded when Twilight pointed out how she seemed to know a lot about her. ‘You have no idea,’ she thought to herself with a snicker. “Well of course I know a lot about you, Princess! You and your friends only saved Equestria about a million quadrillion times and you came out on top everytime proving how stupid and weak villains are! Oh and I kind of sort of had to buy your journal the very moment I saw that my town’s bookshop had it in stock and I read it at least three times now. Speaking of, I did bring the book with me and since you’re here… Wow, I mean I know you live here, but still wow I can’t believe I am actually meeting you for the very first time! I know I must look really silly to you. It’s just that I’ve never met a famous pony before. Celebrities tend to avoid my small hometown even though it is a very nice place to live. But listen to me go on. Anyways, I was wondering if you would do me the honor of signing my book? Your friends too if…if they like. It will be really great to get all of your signatures because you are all wonderful,” the blue unicorn practically gushed. Using her telekinesis she pulled out her copy of the Friendship Journal from her wagon and a quill and levitated them towards Twilight. While eagerly waiting for a response from the purple book smart alicorn, Pristine answered her question about why she’s there. “Oh yeah I was actually hoping to move here from my…hometown. In truth, I couldn’t leave fast enough. I had to get out of there and try something new, you know? As for what my plans are, well I figure once I earn enough bits from selling my cleaning potions from my wagon I’ll try to open up a dry cleaners except it won’t be strictly for cleaning clothes. It will be for just about anything. You see I clean stuff pretty fast. For example..” As she said this there happened to be a a light pink unicorn walking by with a strange dolphin cutie mark. She had a rather ghastly mud stain on a white scarf she was wearing around her neck. Seeing this as a perfect opportunity to demonstrate her cleaning prowess, Pristine strolled up to the pink unicorn and using her unicorn magic she aimed at the white scarf and concentrated on her clean spell. Within a second the mud stain vanished completely from the scarf. Grateful, the unicorn smiled, thanked Pristine and walked away. “You’re welcome! Just try to stay away from anymore mud, okay,” she called after the pink unicorn giving her a wave. She then returned her attention to Twilight. She nodded when the purple alicorn mentioned how they both like being clean and organized. “Oh I certainly do. In fact, I feel like it is my life’s mission to make the world a much cleaner place to live. For example, just look at how dirty that pony’s hooves are. Oh that simply won’t do,” she mused upon seeing a passing earth pony with muddy hooves. Once again, she used her cleaning spell to instantly clean the earth pony’s hooves off. The earth pony was both startled by this and largely annoyed while storming off. “You’re welcome!” Pristine called after him oblivious to his annoyance. Pristine did, however, notice how bored and annoyed Rainbow Dash was as she floated over them. The blue unicorn recalled how the blue pegasus preferred to live in the fast lane; which was certainly understandable. “You know you Wonderbolts work awfully hard and through not fault of your own your uniforms do…sometimes get a little bit um…messy. If yours gets too dirty feel free to come by my wagon and I’ll clean your uniform right up for you,” the clean loving unicorn then generously offered. When Rarity spoke up, Pristine smiled at her most generous offer to hang out. “Really? You…you want to hang out with me? That’s…that’s awfully kind of you. I mean we’ve only just met and… Well of course I’d be delighted to join you and get to know you better. It sounds lovely. We will go someplace quiet, I hope? I’m…not a fan of loud sounds,” she shyly admitted. “Does…does Ponyville have a Boba tea shop by chance? Oh I hope so! I do adore me a good cup of boba tea,” she asked with a soft sigh. She then remembered the mysterious cloaked pony who had come up to her wagon earlier. “Oh hello again. I don’t believe I caught your name. I’m Pristine Polish and I’m from Sparkletown. Who might you be?” She asked hoping to get an answer this time. She again wondered what this mysterious pony was trying so desperately to hide underneath her cloak. Did she get a terrible mane cut and now was too embarrassed to show her mane? Regardless, she knew it wasn’t any of her business so she refrained from asking. Also she didn’t want to appear rude.
  18. Nook Cranny: The light pink pegasus then proceeded to remove the lost and found fedora from her saddlebag to make sure it was still okay. She sighed in relief upon seeing that the hat was still clean and in good condition despite her sudden crashing into some apples. After carefully inspecting the hat she stuck it back inside her saddlebag. She then heard a loud voice demanding to know who was responsible for the mess. Embarrassed, the Haystralian pegasus followed the sound and spotted a blue unicorn laying about nearby who apparently got startled awake from her crashing into the apples. Nook's ears lowered and taking a deep breath she slowly approached the understandably agitated unicorn. "I am so sorry about that. In truth, I'm not usually so...so clumsy. But Discord here must have summoned me because not five minutes ago I was flying over a totally different place and then I suddenly ended up crashing here. Sorry for waking you. I'm Nook Cranny by the way. What's yours?" she asked holding out her hoof to shake the blue unicorn's. Nook was wearing her flight googles around her neck with her purple flight scarf, and a big purple bow on her head.
  19. My very first event for this site, yay! So excited and challenge accepted! In fact, I was so excited I already sent in my answers! I just hope I got them all right. It was really hard for me to find some of them because I don't have access to the comics.
  20. Rapid Quill: /being all smug grins at Discord/ "Oh is that all? Well, in that case I don't agree to the rules, so there! Aw too bad, guess that means we can't play!" Nook Cranny: /suddenly a light pink pegasus with a magnifying glass for a cutie mark came barreling in landing in a large pile of Applejack's apples/ "Look out!" /feeling wobbly struggles back to her hooves and adjusts her flight goggles/ "Sorry about that...rough landing every pony. I was merely on my way to return this hat to one of me mates when...well something caused me to crash land and I didn't sense any extra wind up there so..." /suddenly notices Discord and with an annoyed groan rolls her eyes/ "Oh Discord. Well, that explains it! Do I even need to ask why you are interfering with my current mission of returning this one of a kind fedora to its owner?" The pink pegasus angrily demanded in a thick Haystralian accent. While waiting for a response she proceeded to wipe smooshed apples off of herself.
  21. Sorry if this is a silly question, but I don't understand. What exactly do you do during this event? That is how does one participate? I'm new so this will be my first time here for whatever event this is. But I do love Hitch! He's probs my favorite character from Gen 5. It's probably because he's good with animals like Flutters.
  22. I just rewatched that one Christmas episode where the main characters are trying to find the best presents for each other and it got me wondering, has anybody here made a reindeer character? I thought they were pretty cute and honestly before my rewatch I almost forgot about them. Idk if it was done on purpose, but they kind of reminded me of the three good faeries in Sleeping Beauty.
  23. Rapid Quill: /smiles nervously/ "Hello Nightmare Moon. Your nights are indeed magnificent and your stars are so...luminous. But it does make me wonder; which one of your lovely, creative constellations is your favorite? Just wondering for...purely research purposes I assure you." /pulls out a notepad and quill to take notes with/ "Just whenever you're ready Ms. Moon; which brings me to my next query. How do you like being addressed?"
  24. Free Thinker as Fluttershy: /is starting to lose control/ "What!? You call this chaos? Ha! This isn't chaos! This is..." /realizes everyone is watching him and returns his voice to Fluttershy's softer tone/ "I mean it's not that chaotic heh..." /forces a smile to his face/ Rapid Quill: /just hoof palms as he senses it won't be long now until his boyfriend exposes himself/ "Well as fun as all of this is I do have somewhere to be, soooo I'll just go now and leave you all to it! Bai!" /tries to teleport himself away only for him to poof back. annoyed he tries again only to once more be brought back. getting mad he shoots Discord a glare as he knows he likely has something to do with his current inability to leave/ "Oh whatever if I can't teleport my way out I'll just walk... So long suckers!" /tries to run away only to magically appear back. as he is still running he finds himself running smack into a tree. now laying on his back feeling dizzy he glares up at the lord of chaos/ "Hey, just what is it you think you are doing? I have very important things to do. I don't have time for whatever nonsense this is!" /is really getting mad now/ /standing back up and dusts himself off/
  25. "Do you want to see a magic trick?" "I love this job!"
