So, for context, I haven't watched this episode since I was a kid and I have an anxiety disorder, so I tend to take mental health topics seriously. Now, imagine being me. You're given a minute to think (it may have turned into 30 minutes) and suddenly you remember an episode of My Little Pony where Twilight got stuck in a time loop and had a mental breakdown. You didn't realize at the time that it might have been a mental breakdown, but in retrospect you see how it could be interpreted as such. My mind went through the plot of the episode and even though the details of the conclusion were hazy, I felt like they hadn't addressed this well. So I was about to make a critique post. Until I realized I couldn't remember the name of the episode. I looked it up and ended up on a wiki. I then got this sinking feeling that I was missing something- so I decided to check the synopsis to see if there was a detail I was missing. As I read through the conclusion of the episode, it dawned on me that my mind had entirely omitted the ending, which had Twilight learning to not worry too much about problems that could emerge in the future- which is a surprisingly helpful lesson to children with anxiety for a children's show on it's second season... Soooo... I'd like to apologize to whoever wrote that episode: I misjudged you. Sure, it wasn't a perfect episode but it did handle the topic quite a bit better than I remembered it doing. Honestly, I think the takeaway here is that younger me probably wasn't able to wrap their head around the episode's message and unintentionally blocked out the ending because they weren't willing to let go of the fears and anxieties they thought kept them safe. -
Sorry for the late reply! Yeah, there's a possibility I have dwarfism, but it's hard to tell if it's genetic because I got really sick (because of undiagnosed medical conditions) during a crucial stage in my development... To the point that I was extremely thin for a while as a child because I kept puking up everything I ate.

Ehhh... Debated on whether or not to put this out there. But I'm going to. For the meme. For the longest time I thought I was the same height as Sonic the Hedgehog, but I just googled it and the average sonic height estimate is around three feet, so I'm probably taller than Sonic the Hedgehog. Potential bragging rights if I ever meet Sonic? I'm an adult who is around 4'9". I'm short.

Super cool!!! I really like how she looks in your style!!!!

If it's not too much to ask, can you draw Sweet Stuff from gen 1 in your style? I'd like it if you kept her tail bow, but don't feel obligated to. Feel free to take any creative liberties you want if you decide to draw her- I'm okay with you redesigning the character any way you want.

Did You Ever Watch Generation 1, 2, 3, or 3.5?
TempestFan1 replied to best poni's topic in Classic Generations
I remember watching a couple of gen 1 episodes when I was a really little kid (They were a little older by then, but my family always had a lot of old dvds and vhs tapes lying around) including "The Quest of the Princess Ponies" and "The Golden Horseshoes". I don't remember particularly having a favorite gen 1 episode. We also had the three episode box set dvd of "Positively Pink", "Come Back, Lily Lightly", and "Two for the Sky" from gen 3. Of the gen 3 episodes I watched, I remember liking "Come Back, Lily Lightly" the most and "Two for the Sky" least. To me, the reveal that Star Flight and Heart Bright gaining wings was all a dream was a bit cliche and confusing, especially when you consider the fact that this is all happening inside a book read by Storybelle. Little me was like "So, you're telling me that not only is this not real, but it's not even real in the not real world..." -
Super cool! I really like the idea of the dual horns both glowing! Also he has a little bit of fluff above his hoof, which I love... I love fluffy ponies....

Tex: Uhhhh... Well shoot, now that I got the darn thing on, I don't got a clue what to say... You want a turn Mimic? Mimic: Want a turn! Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..... Hihihihihihi!!!!! Lofty: This is pointless. I can't believe Moondancer made us defy orders for this hunk of junk. Moondancer: It's not a hunk of junk. It's our only means of contacting the outside world right now and if we want to escape, we're going to need help. //OOC: Hi there! I know this is only my second forum post and people aren't really familiar with my Gen 1 based Original Characters, but I figured the best way to flesh them out (both for myself and others) would be to hold a kind AMA. Here's a few things you should know before chatting with them: 1. These characters are sort of my AUs version of the Mane 6. They work for the princesses, but are more like a mix of assassins and lab rats. No, they're not clones. 2. There are two other characters with these ones: Wind Whistler and Skylark. They're not here because, well... I still haven't figured out their personalities and backstories. 3. Mimic will be speaking mostly in snippets of what others have said. She does this in canon too. In this post, I'll make this clear by writing borrowed dialogue in the text color of the pony who originally said it. If it's said in Mimic's teal, she isn't repeating someone else's dialogue, which she's probably doing intentionally. If she says something in purple then it's a snippet from a movie I made up called "Golden Horseshoes".

Hm.... What else? I do occasionally write fanfiction. Okay, so just a disclaimer: I'm not a big fan of the Mane 6. I have nothing against them, they're... fine.... but they tend to be a bit generic and fall into too many tropes for me. I do like a good reinterpretation of these characters, but the canon interpretations of their personalities aren't my favorite. The characters I'll probably rant the most about are probably Tempest Shadow, Princess Luna, and my sort-of-OCs from my unfinished story "Friendship is [REDACTED]".
