Ganaram Inukshuk 3,682 January 27, 2019 Share January 27, 2019 I go with Glimmy because the -y/-ie prefix; for example: Rainbow Dash -> Dashie Pinkie Pie -> No modification, but think Pinkamena as the starting point Ganaram -> Ganny/Gannie (I go by both) Gem/Gemina -> Gemmy Trixie -> what's our starting point? Sandbar, Silverstream, Ocellus -> Sandy, Silvy, Celly Boulder -> Bouldest (-er to -est rule applied instead) <> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It IS her talent after all. I am not offended by her use of magic - using magic is the characteristic of unicorns, and she is VERY good at it - but her choice of how and when she applies it. Time and time again we are seeing her resort to using magic inappropriately (you could probably make a case for Royal Problem, but even then it was her nightmare, and Celestia's empathy for her situation - and realization of just how hard Luna needs to work sometimes - that saved the day, with the magic spell she used that was the setup for that situation) I am a fan of GlimGlam - she is one of my favourite ponies - but as Twi clearly sees in making her school councillor, she has a lot more to offer than just being a spellhorse, and her greatest success (the ascension of the Changelings to their current glitterbug form) was accomplished with no magic at all. If she and Twi do ever take over for Celestia and Luna, she will make an excellent Luna. ᚾᛖᚹ ᛚᚢᚾᚨ ᚱᛖᛈᚢᛒᛚᛁᚴ - ᚦᛖ ᚠᚢᚾ ᚺᚨᚦ ᛒᛖᛖᚾ ᛞᛟᚢᛒᛚᛖᛞ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've narrowed it down to two options: Gout flare-up, mainly due to the rapidly changing weather. Most likely since I'd been having pain all week long in varying degrees. I stepped wrong at work and only started feeling it after I rested the foot enough. Either way, I'm doing what I can to minimize the pain so I can function tomorrow at work. Lucky thing I'm office-bound, as stepping on the accelerator with this foot would be hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I am the prayest!!" LOT of years ago now. They had not long introduced the summoning thing, and I took a hiatus - came back to find they had completely changed the combat system, and I would have to relearn it, then came back AGAIN to find I couldn't remember enough to play. Still have an account though. I had just got 80 mining, and this was before you could make your own dragon stuff, it was from drops only. ᚾᛖᚹ ᛚᚢᚾᚨ ᚱᛖᛈᚢᛒᛚᛁᚴ - ᚦᛖ ᚠᚢᚾ ᚺᚨᚦ ᛒᛖᛖᚾ ᛞᛟᚢᛒᛚᛖᛞ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dig his style I can't say that they inadvertently caused a controversy over that and all the other rainbow-related doodads because everyone's prototype for colours (and inevitably rainbows) are different and inconsistent; if it's got cyan and magenta, it's no longer a rainbow, but a wheel of hues; also, people forget that cyan is a legitimate colour so they think it's fine to exclude it from rainbows. This is also part of the reason why I'll always reject RYB from art; it has no basis in physics or computer tech. This is also what I say to my roommates all the time: colour names are arbitrary, or rather, whatever we're able to find. Umm, what am I talking about?

It gets worse: magenta doesn't exist; it's just some sort of biological trickery meant to fool us into thinking there's supposed to be a colour between the lowest wavelength colour and the highest wavelength colour; it also means that, depending on your definition of pink, pink (physically) doesn't exist, either. Can I show you this...? I've actually updated my colour prototypes so that it's red-orange-gold-yellow-lime-grass-mint-cyan-blue-indigo-violet-purple-magenta-rose, but I've given a blank version of this to many other people and got not only different colour names but also different numbers of colours; the most I've seen was 17 colours in French; the least I've seen (and colourblindness was a factor with this one) was I think 5 colours...? Just now, Olly said: And then your roommates are like, "hey man I just wanted to know where I left my keys" My roommates and I also argued over what the colour at the bottom of the colour wheel was: was it cyan, turquoise, or teal? Then we looked it up and all three colour names mapped to the same colour: cyan. <> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
