For me: Secret Base (Kimi ga Kureta Mono) (10 Years After) - Zone. The lyrics reminds of friends (both online and irl friends) that I ended up losing contact with. I'll miss them and never forget them

Man...

What a waste of human life

and I meant it as sympathy

Sounds like an alright idea for an OC. Are you going to integrate this character into a future story?

I want to, but I need to focus on my current non-MLP project

I've made the mistake having too much project at once; so I decided to focus on one project, and then move to the other project when I'm done (although I might spend 45 minutes on the other projects, while I do multiple hours on the focused one on an average day)

Spending up my whole pay check lmao. But I now only have one relative left to buy gifts for for the upcoming holiday. So that’s good. I like to get my gifts early so I don’t get hit hard money wise in December. 

Preciate that you're spending gift for your family for the holidays

Note: this post was originally on OC help, but I realized I posted it on the wrong place

I having this burning idea for a MLP OC for Gen 5, and I'm wondering what you pony think of it

Her name is Fourfold "Fox" Flick: she's an earth pony that was isolated from other pony, and was raised by dragon flys. Unfortanately, she lived her life without going to school, relying on reading books for any education. Fox was shunned by most civilian in her town because she was a pony, and the few dragon flys that accepted her was the family that adopted her.

Fourfold Flick thought that she's the last pony in existence, until the event of New Generation that she discovers that there's other pony as well, but she's contempt with living with her adopted family's town; that event made her realize that magic is real, but she, and any real species don't have it. So she gather her 4 friends, and 1 sister-in law from different species to form The Alarm to achive magic for normal species, in addition to protect their neighborhood

Fourfold Flick is a loose cannon, she's unpredictable, ruthless, but mostly stoic; however, she values friendship, and how important they are, believing that going through life without at least a platonic relationship is not worth living.

The interaction between the Mane 6 depends on the situation, but usually a situation can turn into a three-sided conflict, with The Alarm going against both the Mane 6, and Queen Opaline (even if Fourfold don't like the Mane 6, but never plans to be the agressor on attacking them)

I was eating eggrolls while watching YouTube; the video in hand is listening to Mega Man X8's voice acting

I highly reccomend the Useful Charts YouTube channel for timelines, family trees, and breakdowns/summaries for various aspects of Islam in your case, and all the major religions and their denominations for others interested.

Didn't know that thanks

And I think that when we talk about someone being a "weeaboo" for something, they are only into it in shallow ways, whereas if they had to live in that culture they'd be shocked.

I feel like they'll be shocked when they realized it's not as exciting as they may think it is; it's like how people wanted to be a secret agent, or a YouTuber, but when they do: its mundane as any other job, and the action/adventurous part is rare (if they even happens)

Hopefully I interpret your "they'd be shocked" part correctly

I've never thought of it being applied to other countries like that. Usually I've just heard the sort of tag name added to -phile, such as Francophile, Germanophile, or Russophile. Even more interesting is that being applied to Religion.  I'm picturing someone walking into another person's house and seeing a muscular cardboard cutout of Jesus surrounded by figurines, candles, and a collection of styled crosses and fish bumper stickers.

"Oh, I see that you're very strong about you're faith?"

"Huh? Oh that! No, I'm just a big fan!"

I'm not currently diving into any cultures, but as a man I'm thinking of Rome regularly. 

Well, I'm interested in learning the culture of Islam (even if it's unlikely I'll convert). It's mainly started with a movie I watched, Le Grand Voyage

Made me wonder if that people in your made-up example has converted into an actual Christian

If you don't know, the word is derived from weaboo, a person that has a fixation on Japanese culture (especially anime and manga); which made me wonder if there's a equivalent to other culture or country. I know that slavaboos, and koreaboo exist.

For me, I want to way Vietnam, but -aboo implies that you're not from that country you're fixed to begin with. I guess i'm a -aboo to a specific religion as of now (not going to mention what because I don't know if mentioning any IRL religion violate the guidelines)

I want see other music artists (especially more obscure ones), because I want to try something new, and so you pony can give the music artist more exposure. It doesn't have to be a brony music artist

Here's mine that I can think of (from most favourite to weakest):

Mamomo (not to be confused with Mamamoo)

A_Hisa

Seycara

Sing Sing Rabbit

Nanobii

Shady Cicada

Ben Webby

Making a schedule is helpful to maximize use of time. But also knowing what to avoid is important too. If I want to get anything done I do not turn on the TV. music or computer at all. Distractions are the bane of my existence when it comes to productivity; it makes me want to be lazy and make excuses to put off to tomorrow what could be done today. Maybe that’s why older generations were so much more productive; they didn’t have so many distractions as people do now.

I sometimes go a day without a schedule so that I can do something without worrying about time limit, and/or so that I can be lazy. I have cases where I get distracted, but not involve being lazy, such as yesterday, where I tried to set up my home server, and it almost made me forgot to make food for my little sister.

In case you're wondering, setting the home server was a nightmare, it took me 3 days, and I still haven't finished with it

I believe that one big change for me was when I got the manager position at my job. 10 years of nothing but miserable failed and 5 years on top of that since I started that job. My life was literally a mess. Going through lots of depression and shit, to the point I would drink every work and smoke nonstop. After I got the news that I got the position, literally my mindset changed. While I still drink and smoke but now, not excessively and I even stopped all that drinking at work. 
 

Sadly… there was a complication with my personal life that was intervening my hold on the position and have to give it up. Now I feel nothing that even alcohol or nicotine won’t do any good shit to me anymore.

Talk to a therapist. You're not alone

The 3D design, mainly they look more expressive like their ears

Does anypony made one change to their life that made you more productive?

Also, avoid anything relating to social media because it's cliche, and an oversimplification

For me, it's having a schedule for the day, like drawing from 10:00-10:45, script writing at 14:00-14:45, ect.

I give credit to my piano teacher for making me do that, thanks Kevin.

To be honest just random scenarios for practice xD

Also yey first person reply i see! (and glad to see you sort of forgot they were hated haha-) 

You're free to suggest scenarios if ya like

Maybe they won a legally owned property from an unauthorized (not illegal, but not legally recognized) contest, but turns out that it's not as good as they hoped.

Basically the part in GTA: San Andreas, where CJ won a street race, and Claude gave him a property slip as a reward (Farewell My Love...), that turns out to be an abandoned garage (Wear Flower In Your Hair)

I like it, makes me forget that they're hated by the fanbase

What are you planning to draw?

What is his goal/hobby? Is it like Fluttershy's goal of taking care of animals? That definitely need explaining

I know that Hitch Trailblazer is a sheriff, meaning that police exist in it's world (at least in Maretime Bay), but that got me wondering.  Do (counter)intelligence agencies exist in G5, like: CIA, KGB, and FBI type intelligence agencies?

What character from other franchises do you want to meet up with MLP characters?

I'm thinking of Rainbow Dash meeting Storm Eagle, and Armored Armido from Mega Man X, with the addition of Soldier Stonekong from X7. I want them to meet because the former 3 are villainous examples of loyalty (Stonekong outright states he knows that the group he working with are being manipulated, but still fight with them because he fights for loyalty)

Pinkie Pie meeting Clara Valac from Welcome to Demon School Iruma-Kun, Tornado Tunion, and Vanishing Gungaroo from X7. With Valac being a hyperactive girl, Tornado Tunion being fun-personified, and Gungaroo being childish.

and Queen Chrysalis meeting Gale from Angry Birds, and King Nixels from Mixels. Because Gale is an arrogant ruler, and King Nixels hate creativity, and team work.

The MLP characters can be from other gens, it just that I was indirectly forced to put this topic here since the MLP characters I've mentioned are G4

I want to add Rainbow Dash meeting Sean "Sweet" Johnson from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, for similar reason for the last 3 - although saying Sweet is a villain is too harsh

From one person who also saw MLP in a negative way before realizing it's not all that bad: Hey welcome! Hope you stick around!

Cool art btw! 

You know what they said: "Those who hate MLP has never watched it"

Hey, I'm Slappy Bird

I'm 17 years old, and Vietnamese

I have a YouTube channel with the same name, and profile pic, but the channel doesn't have any MLP related content... yet

Other thing I like is Mixels, Mega Man, Angry Birds, Crash Bandicoot, Team Fortress 2, Keroppi and Friends, and other franchise I can't think of on top of my mind

My hobbies includes playing video games, making videos, listening to music, and reading

I want to go to college, and study economics when I graduate high school

I have an OC team idea in the G5 timeline, where it's a group of different species (except the leader who is a pony) that doesn't have any magic or mystical abilities, but try to earn that ability. They also serves as vigilantes that uses ruthless methods to solve problems, which the 5 try to stop them.

Here's a drawing on one of the members. It's name is Boffin Slash
