    While the myriad of health problems are not an inherent limitation to all of us, therefore I would not call that an inherent human limitation, things like not being able to hear ultrasound, is, because no human can hear that, does not matter what our disability or lack thereof is, above 20khz is outside our range of hearing. I hope nobody considers that derogatory because my point is some limits apply to all of us, and some don't.

    Honestly I'd be envious of anyone who had that kind of dream. I'd be happy for them, however I would wish I had good dreams about Princess Luna, even a fictional character can be dreamed about. I had nightmares about zombies before, perhaps she could banish the zombies, or do something funny like scare them away by using her Royal Canterlot Voice.

    Thank you for liking my post bestie :twilightsmile:

    What a wonderful dream this would be, even with Luna being a fictional character, dreams are still possible. I'd still like to talk about something interesting with her in a dream if I ever have one about her, like talk about how Halloween is similar to Nightmare Night. Anyone who has ever had a good dream about her in my opinion is lucky.

      Well i had one with her sister but... i can't remember too many details, was still a good expeirience.  :orly: However i do indeed agree with you, meeting princess luna ( Even in a dream ) would be magical. :pinkie:

      Depending on the contents of a good dream about Princess Luna if I were to have one I may even cry, because it would make me happy. :kindness: yeah I do wish a good dream like that for any MLP fan.

    Even fictional characters can be dreamed about, and having a dream about Princess Luna for me, would be cool. I'd wake up laughing about it probably, but she would not scare me, perhaps flying over a city with her using telekinesis would be fun.

    Fluttershy is cute, I did not like it when she got bullied for her inability to fly though, other Ponies can be cruel sometimes in My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. I appreciate Rainbow Dash for helping to build up her confidence in the episode Hurricane Fluttershy.

    Princess Luna is a good example of not fearing the dark, embracing it. and although her dreamwalking powers allow her to know secrets of others, from what I have seen of her behaviour in MLP FIM, she keeps secrets safe and not give out information others did not have any business in knowing. That's one reason why I would trust her if I was in that fictional world, mind reading may be disturbing for some people but as long as she carries out her duties in secrecy and does not seek to harm, I don't see that as inherently malicious. But then Equestria's culture is different from our own, and it is not like anyone else could have done a better job, and dealing with others nightmares must be scary, even for her, which is why I believed she snapped at her sister in A Royal Problem episode, assuming that is an easy job for her is going to offend her greatly.

    In a fantasy world scenario where that could come true, I would not be in a hurry to die just for that either, because I have friends here like you do. Throwing my life away just because of that, even in a fantasy world scenario where it would happen would be stupid. If terminal illness were the issue it would be a different matter altogether. Getting that wish in the future would be nice, I'd like to become a Pegasi and fly in Equestria and meet new friends there, but it will never happen, and in that imaginary scenario where it did, I'd want it to come after old age or something like that. I wrote a fan fiction about that some time ago. Even the idea of reincarnation in fiction would be scary if it did happen, because mortal pain would be felt from one life to the next, doesn't matter which world you go to. In Buddhist traditions this is believed to occur on Earth repeatedly until a person reaches Nirvana, then they escape Samsara, but again, that is only mythology.

    Perhaps in my childhood, not anymore. I don't see how it helps, daydreaming is something different, since you don't necessarily believe the images you're conjuring up. I daydream sometimes though, including about being in Equestria as a Pegasi. Some people may think that is sad or think I'm weak for doing that, but the real world sucks so I don't really care.

    I would not be saying all this if My Little Pony Friendship is Magic had better written villains, but as mentioned before in the later seasons they were a joke. A hungry wild bear could have done a better job in the episode Mean Six than Queen Chrysalis did in actually posing a danger to Mane Six, since her minions were nothing more than disobedient pranksters who got themselves killed.

    I wished I knew, Rarity is a fashion expert, but I would not have expected that of Fluttershy since she is more of a nature and wildlife expert. I'm impressed with Fluttershy's knowledge though, she may not talk much but when she does open her mouth, she talks a lot of sense. There are times she does not, but it's not constant.

    I don't like Slice of Life, because for me it takes away from the adventure aspect of shows or movies. It's not a form of escapism for me at all, in fact for me and some other people it's the opposite. The fantasy world elements including magic and mythological creatures get used less because people are caught up in their silly arguments we don't care about. I only tolerated MLP episode Sisterhooves Social because Rarity actually learned something from it and that relationships are give and take and about compromise, I would not have said it was a good episode if no lessons had been learned, which adds to their character growth and thus contributes to the adventure style story telling a lot of other things you find in Slice of Life don't.

    I like comedy shows, Beavis and Butthead is one I watch from time to time however I can understand why Snoopy Fan would find that one annoying, that's a fair point to make, there are some scenes which could be considered cringeworthy, however comedy is not to be taken seriously, no actual story happens, it's just a cartoon about two jerks who run around all day annoying other people with their antics. I cannot for the life of me understand why Slice of Life is liked though, I hate it for the same reasons I hate Soap Operas. They remind me of things I hate about the real world, including toxic relationships and petty arguments. I cannot be invested in something like that when that is all that ever happens. What I like to see are things like redemption arcs, which often happen in adventure stories, it's not always satisfying to watch, but when they are, you end up liking the characters for who they became, not who they were, and it is why Princess Luna is one of my favourite characters from My Little Pony FIM.

    They should have just gone with adventure and action story telling, IMO that would have solved it in the long run, and given Hasbro more freedom to write in more threatening villains without it being a negative to anything else. Look at Transformers, this is where both adventure and relationships of characters are shown, even in the 1986 animated film this was done well. They get the balance just right between drama and non drama scenes, and just because other characters have their own problems, they don't ignore the danger of what they are up against, Unicron and the Decepticons. In a similar way, Queen Chrysalis in MLP FIM should have been viewed as an active threat for as long as she free to do whatever she wants and was not petrified or otherwise imprisoned or destroyed. But episodes like Mean Six had the Mane Six not even acknowledge her existence and that continued right up until Mean Six died, so it did not really feel like the fate of Equestria was at stake at all, far from it.
  15. Dawnshine Wonder

    I know what I am asking of Hasbro, make Chrysalis more of a threat in the story, and before anybody comments back asking why

    Would I want somebody that evil to exist in the fantasy realm Equestria if I was there with the characters and a friend of Mane Six? no, of course not, no rationally thinking individual would want somebody like that to be real, however I would have zero control over that, if a villain wants you gone, you got two options, fight or run away, fortunately this is only fiction.

    If you're not going to write your villains to be threatening, don't put them in the story, don't give us the colossal waste of time that was Mean Six.

     

  16. Dawnshine Wonder
    Right, and in the Mean Six episode of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, they had neither of those things, because no battle with Mane Six even took place. This is where the limitations of slice of life show, because while it does focus on relationships of the characters, it also prevents high stakes conflict a lot of the time. I don't even know why Queen Chrysalis exists in the show, when she seems incapable of coordinating a war in the later seasons (main timeline) without the help of Tirek or Cozy Glow. As for her energy drain abilities as shown in To Where and Back Again, pathetic if you ask me. If I recall researching this correctly, her energy drain power had severe repercussions for victims in the comics, and she was able to drain others to the point of passing out. Guess they won't be needing a medic or a healer then.
  17. Dawnshine Wonder

    It's possible to have Queen Chrysalis be a threatening villain without any character dying on screen or panel. The reason why MLP FIM disappointed me, or one of the reasons was because of how comic relief they made Chrysalis in later seasons, it sucked.

    A Changeling Queen with a quest to dominate Equestria should have been bloodlusted by now. If Disney can get away with doing this with their villains, Hasbro can too. That was my main problem with the episode Mean Six portrayal of her, Mean Six destroyed themselves before Mane Six even knew what was going on in the background, a total non threat with no final battle to save Equestria, useless.

    My Little Pony Friendship is Magic season 8 episode Mean Six is proof that slice of life and drama don't go together. You either have threatening villains and a high stakes battle, or not, but you cannot have it both ways. By the way, relationships are more meaningful when you have something to work toward. This is not the direction I am telling my fanfic in, challenges make adventures more fun.

  19. Dawnshine Wonder
    But in so doing, they made their villains a joke, and almost a non threat as well. Case in point is the Mean Six episode of My Little Pony FIM, this is where slice of life genre fails miserably because the story telling shackled Mean Six from actually being imposing characters, and while they did cause mischief in the background, it wasn't exactly life threatening, was it? Some villain Queen Chrysalis is, she cannot even launch an actual war in that episode because all her minions were doing, is pulling pranks on Mane Six and not much else, and they destroyed themselves later on, without Mane Six even knowing what transpired. I don't know about everybody else here, but I for one, do want villains to be a threat in a story, otherwise their existence becomes nothing more than comic relief. There's no challenge for the characters in this situation, this is the problem I have with My Little Pony, and some other fans I have spoken to, the adventure aspect of it can be dull at times, if it were an actual adventure story, there would be something to fight for, a kingdom to defend.

    Sure, OG Dragonball was better though because that show did more than show people fighting, it showed not only Goku on his quest to collect the Dragonballs and we got to see him develop his skills in his childhood. Putting the absurdity of a child entering World Martial Arts tournaments aside, he used his Power Pole to get himself out of situations that he could not handle without it, such as reaching Kami's Lookout. This was before he learned how to fly I think, he did not really display that ability until the final Tournament with Piccolo. He could launch himself into the sky using his Kamehameha, but only for a short time and that showed how skilful he became with his powers, he learned to improvise and find a way around his limitations with strategy, and arguably was much less of a fool than he typically is portrayed in Dragonball Super, and he nearly blows himself up with Kaioken just to fight Hit in some petty tournament where there were no stakes involved besides knock each other out. Goku was willing to kill a villain if it meant saving the planet as well, such as when he killed Tambourine for killing Krillin. He did not leave it to chance just because he enjoyed fighting, he was more of a no nonsense fighter back then. He let Piccolo Jr live, but mainly to keep Kami alive and the dragonballs, by that time he was confident of his own power that he could keep Piccolo in check, at least until Raditz arrived. I like an adventure story that has mystic elements, however having the characters use strategy with their powers is equally important in my opinion.

    Triangle, because it can be used in tessellation. You can do it with other shapes as well, but if you add enough triangles to a pattern you can make a ball with it, a dodecahedron to be exact. With squares you don't get a dome or a ball, all you end up with is a cube, as they only have four sides on a 2D grid, or six sides if you place them in 3D, you can mix them in with other shapes, but then you're no longer just using squares. But triangles are flexible, if you repeat a pattern often enough with them you can give it the illusion of being a perfect sphere or dome. Pentakisdodecahedron - Triangular tiling - Wikipedia

    Sleep deprivation is not something I wish on any of you, my mental health has gotten this bad I guess, made me irritable I am now playing the Genesis version of Primal Rage to let off some steam.
  23. Dawnshine Wonder

    I'm in the mood to be playing Primal Rage again, need to release tension. Good ol fighting games helps me with that.

    A fan fiction showcasing this would be hilarious actually, but true at the same time, they would be disgusted with some of the fanfics their fans write about them. I can imagine it, Rainbow Dash yelling at the top of her lungs about the Rainbow Factory fanfic. She may say something like "What twisted mind came up with this?" *facehoof* Or she may slam one of her front hooves on a table in frustration, one of the two.

    I've got a feeling I may not like Equestria Girls films, if it the high school story telling I've been told it is, I probably won't. Then again I liked watching Code Lyoko, while nothing to do with MLP, it appears to have some similarity. In that story it made sense though, Code Lyoko characters started out human and in that same lifetime they remained there, sure Lyoko is a VR world and can be considered an alternate reality, but it is not actually a physical universe, it's simulated. Ponies in Equestria Girls go into human world, morph into human form because reasons. That premise falls apart when you think about the fact the human world in MLP fiction is not even supposed to have magic, how would that cause a transformation? then again, it's only a spin off so I don't take that too seriously, but it is silly though.
