    Snoopy Fan here is what I wrote to Silly Druid, who appears to like the same MLP episode I did from season 5 Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep? "Thank you, also I like the MLP episode Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep? as well, it is sad that so many people miss the point about Princess Luna's bout of depression and self harm, and the courage it took for her to accept her friends help instead of letting Tantabus destroy Equestria. The strong sense of community in Equestria was shown in that episode, critics of the episode had such shallow opinions about that episode as if to say self harm never happens because of guilt or something along them lines. Drwolf countered their points on Youtube however, and mentioned self harm because of guilt happens more often than some may think. Writing Princess Luna's actions off as some " attention seeking emo" like some people had done, promotes harmful stereotypes about depression and I'd argue it's ableist also."

    I could imagine something like this happening in an alternate universe, where Queen Chrysalis did reform, made peace with Starlight Glimmer, later a romantic non abusive relationship developed with Luna. I know she caused problems for Equestrians in MLP FIM official, but after how much courage it would take for her to let go of her ego and accept a path of non violence, she deserves it IMO. I'd be happy for them if Princess Luna and Chrysalis ended up in a relationship.

    It is a fan art someone else drew of Princess Luna and Chrysalis (reformed, I think?). I think it's cute.

    To minimize the risk of myself doing that, I keep some pages I want to stay open in separate browser windows. Multiple tabs can become confusing, they shorten text which makes it hard to know which ones we are supposed to close and which ones not to. Doesn't help if you use a small monitor like I am currently using either. I regret wasting my money on this 10 inch display for my Pi 5, yeah it has a low resolution which helps keep the strain on the system down, but I am wishing I opted for a 24 inch display, since they cost about the same and I'd be able to hide the spaghetti wires behind it, and I'd be able to see it easier from my bed when watching TV shows. I do silly things sometimes.

    I use LED strips on my computer desk if that counts, I really want to finish the ornaments so I can photo it and show you. I'm missing a Princess Luna figurine for the ornament on my shelf but the rainbow LEDs work wonders with the Ponyfication of my computer desk, it's so cute and awesome. And yeah I do use my Raspberry Pi 5 for music too, which is why I got these speakers, which also have LEDs.

    Replying to Silent Dusk, I asked him if he has been getting any sleep recently, he said something before about sleep deprivation which is not good, I can only interpret that as a possible sign of increased anxiety, I experience that myself so I know what it can do to sleep patterns. Thankfully I managed to get some sleep last night, my medication worked. Now I am listening to house music through my headphones.

    Hi Silent Dusk, how are you doing? you been sleeping recently? you need your rest, sleep deprivation is not healthy. And by the way this may not come as a surprise to you, as you probably like this episode as much as I do from My Little Pony official. I liked the episode Luna Eclipsed, she can still use her Nightmare Moon form even in her reformed state of mind. But she showed a great amount of self control even when children were being rude to her because of rumors about her eating Ponies from Pinkie Pie. Yeah she is a powerhouse but that does not mean she is inherently violent or immoral. I have said I'd like to have a dream about her, because that would be an enchanting experience for lack of better term. She is beautiful, and it is awesome that I am in a community with people who understand our feelings, you said you had a dream about Luna as well, if only it could be so, if only we could actually go to the fictional world Equestria MLP FIM, but no, we can only daydream about that. There is literally no other fictional world I'd like to be in, only that one.

      Glad we still share that similarity. But yes, the world of Equestria will be forever out of our reach, no matter how much we want it or need it, it'll be there taunting us. But I have been feeling a bit better, sure I'm druged up because I'm sick but other than hat I'm doing fine and dandy. Got my usual eight hours of sleep , and another dream about Equesria, didn't see any of the mane six or the princesses instead I was in the Everfree Forest, Sitting in a enchanting clearing, sun was shining down from the canopy above. Random animals turned up a few are Timber Wolves, Manticors, and about three deer. It was truely peaceful, a nice brake from the world we live in. Sure you imagine my disapointment when I woke up.

      Everfree Forest? beats the badlands I would say, at least there you have shade from the sun, though only a dream the fear of sunburn or dehydration would not be pleasant. I will try the dream incubation technique Midnight Insight was telling me about because having a dream about Equestria would be so awesome, so calming. Perhaps I could force my subconscious to simulate that world even if it's only for a short time. But yeah, waking up and then realizing reality trolled us, would suck. It would be different if it could be done in VR though, in scifi VR can sometimes be a permanent state of being.

      Even if it is digital, I'd give my left eye just to be there. By the way, don't try to force yourself to dream about something too hard, If you make it too powerful, the opposite will happen, I speak from expierience, trust me it's not pretty. I'd go into details but it was... put short, cruel and frightening. Dreaming is phanominon that science is still trying to explain, so it's important that we tred lightly when entering that area.

    Feeling I may have just escaped becoming dead yesterday, I tripped on the stairs while going up them, and if I had knocked a glass frame off the wall I think I may have bled out that time, I need to be more careful. No, the frame did not come off the wall and smash, but it could have done. But like the Oingo Boingo song says, We have only got so many tricks, no one lives forever. I don't believe anything in my MLP fan fiction will ever happen, that would be absurd to think that. However that would not be a cool way to die even if an imaginary instance it did happen. I'd look very silly in the Bardo having offed myself by a fatal accident that was avoidable.

    Thinking about the LED lights I had put on my desk, need to use double sided tape which thankfully I do have. The adhesive that came with the LED strips is too weak to hold the lights on. I got enough of it, that is not the problem, it's inconvenient that is all, like I could not exactly nail the things down, that would short circuit them. :/
  12. Dawnshine Wonder
    Honestly, if Chrysalis had reformed, this would be a cool way for her to get her emotional energy. Whoever drew this, thank you.

    I think transhumanism as the technology be called, merging cybernetics with human biology, which would include VR, holds potential for space exploration as well. If the human consciousness could be backed up in a supercomputer, it could be more easily be transported to distant solar systems. Let's face it, the human body is a demanding organism constantly requiring oxygen, water and a nutritionally balanced diet, VR being that advanced could extent life expectancy, while at the same time not requiring oxygen or water, only electricity and hardware to run. Not all planets are suitable for humans to live in their natural form, but a planet sized supercomputer powered by the sun having VR technology could make that a non issue. That's a scifi dream, but sometimes scifi concepts do become reality later on.

    I agree, Unfortunately Discord can be childish at times, how he got easily manipulated by Tirek into thinking Mane Six took away his freedom I'll never know. Mane Six never did such thing, they told him there are rules in Equestria that need to be respected for the safety of citizens, a social contract if you will, every society needs this because it strikes a well reasoned balance between liberty and security. But unfortunately Discord did not see that as common sense, instead, he fell for Tirek's con in season 4 finale and took the L for it. Discord was lucky that Princess Celestia did not have him turned to stone in season 5, though I still think Celestia should have taken away Discord's magic until he learned to be respectful. He received no punishment in season 5 which is my biggest problem with that season, so while I don't believe Princess Celestia to be a villain, she could have done Discord's rehabilitation more safely.

    Snoopy Fan? he is, definitely. He knows how to communicate with others without making it feel confrontational, I believe him when he said he was like this before he watched My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, but his gentleness and politeness in discussions reminds me of the way Fluttershy speaks with her friends in MLP. So I am careful with the way I talk to him as I am aware how sensitive he is and I don't wish to say anything which could upset him, as I know he would do the same for me and anyone else here. I think if he were to exist in the fictional world Equestria, he would find it very easy to make friends there, I could very easily see Fluttershy or other members of Mane Six liking him.

    Perhaps it wasn't a good idea to be bringing up my family problems here, as aggravating as they can be to deal with from time to time for anyone involved, it's not like complaining about it here will change what happened. Fortunately it does not happen every day, only occasionally, , however the anger had built up so much that I had to release it somewhere without turning violent, that is how I deal with anger now, I use words, not fists. Sometimes if I'm upset about something I would watch a horror movie, sometimes when I am not angry at all I would still watch movies, horror genre or not, the last horror one I rewatched was A Nightmare on Elm St part 1. I find these outlets to spill the negative energy without causing somebody else pain.

    I'm not mad about ditching Microsoft by going over to Debian, I am only disappointed about the Windows only apps that will not work on Linux without some workaround or emulation. Good thing I purchased a copy of Jriver, because Media Monkey does not work natively on Linux. I know Microsoft has a monopoly on the software compatibility thing, but that is only ever going to change if people show more support for Linux distros. Help the Linux community grow and the rewards for it will come.
  18. Dawnshine Wonder
    I've gone over to Linux and not looked back, on all future PC's I'll either be using Debian or Ubuntu. Microsoft doesn't want people having control over the very thing they paid for, and as more apps are being moved over to the app store, you are now required to create an online account just to download and use certain apps, if you lose access to your account for whatever reason you have to start your collection all over again. After some time of figuring it out I managed to create screenshots no problem on my Raspberry Pi 5 system, surprisingly it was easy to do with a software called grim, print screen key, as it should be and it does it instantly as well, on Windows 11 because screenshots use the Gamebar feature, there is a delay, and because of copy protection you are essentially blocked from it working on certain occasions, like when I attempted to make a screenshot from My Little Pony the movie for use as my desktop background. Windows is garbage.

    Well, unless my next round of medication works tonight I guess I will be up all night. Pertaining to a discussion Midnight Insight I had about a Matrix-like VR, I don't disagree with what he said, we even discussed it on a forum thread a while back with other people here, however I don't believe it is likely to happen, we cannot even guarantee people will be around long enough even if some breakthrough could allow computer generated worlds to be that advanced. seems like a pointless dream to me, but then what do I know? I am not a software developer. Even if it did, obstacles like paywall or regulations could get in the way of that being made available to the public. I can already predict how that conversation would turn out, does not take a scientist to know that. So that scifi dream of transhumanism just isn't going to happen because humans are simply too selfish. They may scaremonger about how it could be compared to a drug addiction of sorts, ignoring the advantages future VR tech could bring like making people live longer, and able to escape the limitations of their physical body, so that a disease or health condition does not kill them, a consciousness in cyberspace is bound by the hardware and the dreamworld it simulates instead. The drug addiction analogy would be a very poor one regardless, substance abuse generally leads to bad outcomes for a person no matter what their predisposition was. Where as if VR were advanced enough it could not only result in people living longer, it could make life more pleasurable as well. No, it would not make people immortal, but it has the potential to bring something close to it. The problem isn't the hypothesis, it is human nature, greed and ego.

    As an agnostic I don't believe the devil exists either. However love extends beyond just the mating instinct, just so you know, it extends to empathy for others, recognizing their needs both emotional and physical and without it the world would be an even more messed up place than it is already, I don't want to get political about it here however it needs to be recognized that civilization would destroy ourselves quicker if humans made those important decisions without empathy. It is bad enough that ignorance is causing harm, we don't need lack of empathy on top of this, though quite frankly I think humans are already passed that point of no return, and really this needs to be discussed in Twilight Soapbox forum section if people want to delve into the details how and why. Science is good, however that in itself does not guarantee against abuse of technology, especially when human nature and violence become the subject matter.

    Would that mean cuddles with them?
  22. Dawnshine Wonder
    Nah, you're a great person to talk to, and you're always welcome here to talk with us. I've been dealing with family problems of my own as well but it is not your fault or anyone else's here on this forum. After having taken my medication after a bout of anxiety problems earlier this afternoon I do feel more relaxed. I don't know about you but I do wish I could exist in the fictional world Equestria like in my fanfic I have not been motivated to continue writing about recently. But why waste our time wishing for a world that can never exist? Midnight Insight and I had been discussing about this very topic, even in the distant future if virtual reality technology became the closest thing to making that a reality, though I have my doubts technology can become that advanced or that human civilization will be around for that long, in the event VR tech did become that advanced, it'll be locked behind some paywall for the richest of folks, so we're never going to benefit from it regardless, either that or it'll end up banned because of fear-mongering, though there are plenty of ways to die IRL as well. So nope, we are never going to live out some superhero fantasy in a computer generated world, either A) that Matrix-like VR tech never gets developed or B ) the law stops it. Both are very good reasons to hate our world.

    No problem Snoopy Fan, want to discuss something about an MLP episode?
  24. Dawnshine Wonder
    Yes, this website truly is a safe haven to discuss our problems and interests in a calm and respectful manner with other members here. Joining this site is one of the best decisions I ever did, I regularly message my friend Snoopy Fan, about MLP, fan fictions and possible death battle scenarios between fictional characters. He also gave me some ideas on how to ponyfy my bedroom, in an indirect way, he did not recommend it in conversation but he has posted photos of his collection of plushies on this forum which intrigued me. When my ornaments on my shelf are finished with the LED lighting already done, I hope to give other people ideas on how to add style when showing support for MLP. He is a sweet and gentle person.

    No character is more cute than Fluttershy.
