I was messaging a friend about what ifs involving any of us being in the fantasy world Equestria from My Little Pony Friendship is Magic in one of their alternate realities. I don't have permission to share anything from his end about this, however this is a message I sent him.

"I doubt I'd be strong enough to defeat her in a fight like that if I were in that fantasy world, remember my OC is not a soldier, not even a Wonderbolt Trainee, my OC in my fan fiction is just some average citizen trying to live out a peaceful life, and if confronted by somebody as dangerous as that, what choice would I have? the best I could hope for in that situation, is provide a distraction. 

I don't know about you buddy, how you make an OC is your decision not mine. But I would not desire to be in Equestria to satisfy ego or lust for power, I am not saying you would be greedy either. However that's not how I'd do things. And because of my desire for peace, even at the cost of my own ability to fight, I don't believe I'd be able to defeat Chrysalis, not by myself anyway.

Violence for self defence is justified, but as you said, if ego becomes a problem, then becoming corrupted means replacing one problem for another.

That is the reason why I would not desire to be a unicorn or an alicorn there. I am not saying Twilight Sparkle or any of the other Alicorns are inherently evil for possessing powerful magic, however I would be concerned about misusing it if I had it, even unintentionally hurting innocents is not something I'd be willing to gamble for the sake of power. Power requires wisdom to be used responsibly, if I lacked the knowledge to use it, if I lacked the analytical thinking Twilight Sparkle has, I would not be a reliable individual to use it."

I was goofing around online.

Wondering why, after 4000 hours plus, I still even try to play the Elder Scrolls: Skyrim...

Listening to the soundtrack makes me nostalgic for a past that ended long ago, as Bothela once so sagaciously put it. 

But actually playing the game now makes me crazy. 

All the new characters I create are weak die and too easily.

All the characters I have in the 60's, 70's and 80's are too supermaxed out and there's nothing left to do.

And no, I am not gonna play Elder Scrolls Online, #$%^ No!

As I read this I am reminded that I've been doing the same, rearranging boxes in my room to get my shelves ready for the decoration I was telling everybody about.

I cannot finish getting the ornaments for a while yet, I don't have the cash to spend, but it is a work in progress. LEDs for the shelves are no problem however, I can buy a set of two rolls for about £20, I already got the USB extension cable I need. Top shelf where the ornaments are, I've decided rainbow coloured, bottom desk area, white LEDs.

Relaxing while having a cup of tea. Cleaning, over 10 minutes ago my mirror, the desk area which holds the My Little Pony ornaments was dusty earlier, I used a kitchen towel with hand sanitizer to clean it, since dust is made up of some particles which are gross, and the less germs, the better.

Did a bit of violin playing cos I watched some of Violin Republic's videos and got in the mood to play amidst the chaos of the Neighbour Conflict (feat. the OTHER neighbour jumping off his balcony after a "FUCK SAKE!" - we suspect his door handle for the front door is broken again... he lifted himself back onto his balcony later. Impressive)

Gorgeous, added to my playlist of things I want to learn now.

Doing some admin stuff, talking to someone from the forums and telling another person from the forums that I was planning on reading a book. :v

Guess who has yet to bring the book? :v

Replying to a post Scott Benson made on Bluesky. Social media is such a conflicting thing because there’s no doubt it’s bad for you but also being able to directly interact and talk with creators and people you admire will never not be cool to me.

I was wondering the same thing and it probably is, I hope his health is doing better these days after all the stuff he went through, sounded awful.

About 10 minutes ago I was locking up the entrances to the hospital, you're all trapped now.

Yea! Not sure how he’s doing health wise, he doesn’t talk about it much on social media which is very fair. I know he does photography stuff now as a hobby, mostly of old industrial stuff around Pennsylvania and Ohio, which is neat.

Urban exploration and photography of old abandoned places is a hobby of mine so that sounds super cool actually, I should go take a look at his photos too.
