8/10 - I liked it. Something to lift my mood after not getting enough sleep.

Shrug and go back to sleep.

0/0 - you forgot to post a song

Is this the fate we fall between? Deface the life inaide of me Drain the heart with atrophy And take away the remedy I am torn in two Hold on, hold on! We're barely alive I am faded through Hold on, hold on! The fallen arise I will fight this war for you And let the dawn of love survive Broken I crawl back to life. Hold on! Rise! Hold on! Rise! Hold on! Rise! Hold on...

8/10 - Classic MJ.

Just so happened that this was playing when I spotted this thread. Better post now before the song ends >.>

I've been better, I've been worse.

It's 11 PM. I should be sleeping.

Rooster avatars.

Surrounded by the silence Of the darkest night I'm staring at the sky Where your portrait Lights me the way It will be mine Until the end of time

"Huh. A Joker avatar. Interesting."

3D animation would be the way to go. Live action? How would that even work? It could work with Equestria Girls... but that kinda has been tried already... People with pastel-colored skin looks... weird. Again, 3D animation would be the way to go. As for 3D animation, it would be best to maintain the stylized look. So far, this is the best 3D animated style I've come across:

7/10 - Funky

Fluttershy: Do not come within the measure of my wrath!

I think it was this one

The permanent loss of consciousness is a lesser concern than what will happen to those I left behind. If anything, not having the consciousness to wonder what is going to happen to them would save me quite a lot of anxiety.

The Here and Hereafter - If These Trees Could Talk

Hm, it fits with the screen name, now that I think about it.

I've been on this album a lot lately.

I think this picture helps a lot if one is going to try and estimate the CMC's ages. Spur is definitely a teenager, the CMC are definitely not. I'd put them at 11 at the oldest, 9 at the youngest.

Yeah. I've gotten so lonely at one time in my life that it was having tangible, physiological effects on me. Thankfully, I'm past that point in my life and hoping it stays that way. What I can say about this is that you only lose when you give up. So don't. If you're feeling like nothing is working then it's time to think about doing things differently. If you feel as though it goes against who you are then maybe that's exactly the problem. Think of it this way: we are all unique and in a sense, that means we are all mutations. But not all mutations are viable. This is what nature is and from it we are not exempt. But you can become a different mutation -- a viable mutation -- by changing yourself, by working on yourself, by adapting yourself. If you're at a point where you'd rather be dead then what's really the point of staying as you are? If your current identity* wants to cease to exist then kill that identity instead of your body. Identities can be replaced. Dead bodies cannot. The mind is a terrible thing to waste but the body even more so in this case. This is exactly what I've done and I regret nothing. All I can warn is that things could have gone terribly wrong in the process and that nothing was guaranteed but I took that leap of faith. *An important caveat here. By "identity" I mean all the ideas by which you define yourself as. I'm only talking about character traits and your outlook on life -- "the soul", in a sense. Strictly excluded are fixed physical traits such as race and sexual orientation -- things that cannot be changed.

A lot of Julies and Decembers in here. December 10

More map episodes. By the time the Cutie Map appeared, the Mane 6 had already developed quite a bit. As they get more developed, throw them at more complicated problems that test them on how well they can put their friendship lessons to use. The Cutie Map plots of having one or more of the Mane 6 solve problems other than their own was pretty under-utilized, IMO. Instead, we saw the show try to milk these characters for their flaws well past the point of them having essentially dried up. It just ended up making them look artificially thick-headed. Another route would have been to shift the show's focus from characterization to world building, aesthetics and immersion. The Mane 6 essentially would have become avatars for the audience to place themselves in. Think of it as more Sound of Silence type of episodes where one or more of the main characters travel to new places and discover new stuff about the world.
