I'm just going to shoot some names and hope something sticks. Black eye Dark Echo Arctic Blaze Hemorrhage Snide Eye Arctic Brine Pestilence Rancor

It's in the Caribbean. When it comes to location, naming a country generally puts you within a large area and large population. It's why people generally don't specify which city they're from. Because my country is really small both in land area and population, I shouldn't specify. I'm afraid I'll have to leave it at "Caribbean".

It's hard to say. Do you know why? Here's the Full-Res map. Didn't even bother to include my country. Why is The Netherlands Granny Smith? o_o

No pony merch to be found here. Though I have thought about shirts that are mostly plain but have a small cutie mark emblem at the left chest area. Something like this. For example, if it was an Applejack themed shirt, it would be mostly orange like her coat with her cutie mark as the emblem.

Oh gawd, I'm reminded of the Fire Emblem fanbase reading through the OP. They just insist that the game be played their way. When it comes to gaming communities, I mostly hang out at a Metroid forums. Activity may be low with only a handful of users but it's actually peaceful. Because we're not numerous and most of us veteran users, you can say we understand each other. Honestly, I find that place to be the second least toxic forums I go to, being second place to only another relatively inactive pony forums.

So far I've been given what seems like a mix of specific subsets of psychology and neurology. One particular subject would be brain development and addiction as was given by Dr Gabor Maté and later on attachment theory given by developmental psychologist Gordon Neufeld. Another influential figure would be former prison psychiatrist Jame Gilligan who concerns himself mainly with treating violence as a problem in public health and preventive medicine. Something I too wish would be more widely practiced.

It's a struggle that I share as well. The answer I have for myself is different, however: "let things happen in iterations." That is to say, instead of trying to get everything right on the first try, allow your first try to be imperfect (if not down-right wonky) but always improve on the next try. Keep repeating this until it is good enough. As for studying, there's a different way of looking at it: it's about making as many mistakes as you can before doing the exam or presentation. Instead of being afraid to get things wrong, it might be better to look forward to getting things wrong so you could learn from it.

There's still something they can do with her. When it comes to struggling with the ghosts of your past, when you overcome one aspect of it, another pops up. It's like peeling apart an onion layer by layer unless you get closer to the core of it. Here's an idea. While her guilt may be solved, her fear may yet remain. Fear of what, you may ask? Fear of NMM repeating again. In all of the episodes showed her be herself, you can tell that she has a passionate character. When she's alone, time and again she might ask herself "what went wrong?". She may not be NMM and she does understand that, but the real question is "how did she allow herself to be corrupted?" and "Can it happen again?". Her fear can stem from feeling vulnerable or susceptible to repeat the same mistakes, especially when putting the stakes and the consequences into perspective. After the Tantibus happened, she'll want to be more wary about how she decides to keep herself in check. That whole affair could actually have made her fears worse as she put all of Equestria in danger for not keeping her creation under control while all she wanted to do was keep herself in check. Is she really nothing more than an incompetent fool where everyone including herself is better off not having any power? That'd be a very uncomfortable question to ask herself. All said, perhaps she really should be afraid of being a danger to every pony in Equestria. This leads to the actual lesson. When terrible mistakes are made, it can make us afraid of repeating them in any way, shape or form. Thinking about it, this fear very well came to life with the Tantibus as she, by her own doing even if unwittingly, put all of Equestria in danger. That would be one reason for her to believe that she truly is vulnerable or susceptible to creating such big messes. Paradoxically, by accepting that she will always be vulnerable to making mistakes, not only will it get her to stop going to extreme lengths to keep herself in check, it will also dispel these fears altogether. To make herself invulnerable to making any kind of mistake is asking for perfection. Instead of trying to be perfect, even if that's in a very specific area, she must instead get to know herself and be satisfied with herself for just being more prepared than she ever was to not repeat the same mistakes -- not totally immune, just better prepared. That's all there needs to be to it. Yeah, that sounds pretty hefty, doesn't it?

Is it still breakfast when it's a warm meal at 12 PM? Or is that brunch?

You've done your part.

A lot of the more endearing fan art of Spike has him along with Twilight.

In the season 4 premiere, there was that potion Twilight drank that arguably caused her to hallucinate. You could say she took a hallucinogenic drug. Though perhaps the better question to pose is whether or not you're just talking drug use or the much more serious topic of drug addiction.

I'd be kinda surprised if this didn't happen: Princess Luna visiting Starlight Glimmer's nightmares. If Starlight Glimmer was a filly now and that whole Starburst leaving her life thing happened now that Princess Luna is the guardian of dreams, she would have certainly have intervened with filly Starlight's nightmares, making it likely that Starlight may not have turned into the crazy pony we know her to be now. Surely, remnants of her past still haunt her and it'd be interesting to see these remnants come back to haunt her in her dreams, only to see Princess Luna stepping in and give her a chance to break out of it. Certainly a concept with potential.

Pretty much nothing. As we speak here, we're using two services: internet and electricity -- neither of which are free. Taking a walk? Before you even consider doing that, you need to put on some clothes. Clothes need to be washed regularly and replaced every one in a while. Someone has to pay for all that. Sleeping is only free if you're in the nude in a shelter you built from scratch with your bare hands using whatever materials you found lying around. If you plan on wearing anything for free, it too would have to be made from scratch with your bare hands using whatever was lying around. Even excreting costs money because of using toilets, which someone has to pay for to buy and install. Let's not forget that toilets also use up water when used -- which isn't free either -- and that toilets too need to be regularly cleaned. Do hope that nothing bad happens with the plumbing in your life time. The only thing that's still free is breathing... and let's hope it stays that way.

191 cm (6'3"), male. Somehow I grew taller than my dad.

Thinking about it, Starlight may not have even needed plot armor to succeed. Think about it, would it have mattered if Twilight was winning? Don't forget, the timeline got messed up because the fillies and colts decided that they would rather watch the fight rather than continue the race. This would have happened regardless if Starlight was getting her flank served to her -- all she would have needed to do was stay in the fight long enough to make a scene. Could you imagine an injured exhausted Starlight Glimmer looking up smugly to Twilight and saying to her face: "Not even brute force can get you out of this one, Twilight." Then, when Twilight comes back from an altered timeline, she is met with Starlight at full strength. She could have written in a spell that lets her choose when to travel back in time to before Twilight shows up, giving her ample time to recover from any injury she may have sustained battling Twilight.

I'm going to be stubborn and wait for the full premiere before making any judgment calls. If there's something I really don't like doing in regards to the show is project on scant information -- let alone form any attachments to whatever projections. Let's just keep an open and wait for whatever the full premiere will show us.

More inspired music. This one is by Wind Wolf (formerly Night Breeze).
