I don't recall that being mentioned anywhere, what happened that made you step out of the staff position? 

I assume you are just busy? I won't hide it's still kind of sad to see you no longer be there... I hope everything is alright.

Expand  

A manner of things. I don't agree with how some things are run, I'm not a fan of some of the other Staffers (no names), my overall interest in the Forums is overall suffering... you get the idea. Not to mention, I plan on job hunting some time this coming autumn; I graduated High School earlier than most folks my age, so I plan to capitalize on the opportunity. If there was anything good to come out of getting my education online, it was a good 2 year head start. Either way, this means that i really won't have the time to patrol the Forums any longer, even if I was still interested. Hopefully that clears the fog.

Oh, and I adore your signature, by the way.

I can't say that I have, to be perfectly honest. I'm not sure what I plan on doing in terms of the Forums... but, best case scenario, I become moderately active in the future, and worst case scenario, I just disappear one day. The latter is something that I never could have imagined a while back... but it's a relatively sound prediction, even if it's an extremely pessimistic one. I'm not guaranteeing either course of action, but those are the two extremes which you can expect. I apologize if any of this comes across as disappointing... but it's just the sharp truth with me nowadays.

All of those staffers, who do not have Rarity in their profile picture and didn't want to change it? Yeah, shame on them!  Just kidding;
Seriously though, so actually there are some bad news; Was it that bad?  Of course it was a rhetorical question, no need to reply; I get what you're saying and details most likely aren't my business.

I would lie if said, that I'm not disappointed, but that's more in terms of being sad by that fact, rather than literally disappointed in you as a person. I do respect your decision, it is understandable. Real life tends to keep us busy and it is something we all should focus on, that's for sure... ..and if you simply lost interest in being here on top of that, it's understandable as well. While I wish I could do something to change that, I know I can't simply poke you to stay. 

I just... I just hate when such good users leave, you know? It is something I experienced countless of times across multiple communities by now and these always are some unwelcome news, if you know what I mean. 

*sigh* Either way, yeah, that clears things, thanks.

I wish you all the best; I hope things will go well for you.  ---Better than they went for me, heh.

 

Hah, thanks.

Hm, I did not anticipate needing to dust off this thread.

Either way, It is difficult to say... but of the ones I enjoy thus far, I would have to say Breaking Benjamin, Circus Maximus, Disturbed, or Sabaton. Since you displayed an interest in my sincerity comment, I imagine you would like examples.

Breaking Benjamin: Without You

Sabaton: En livstid i krig

Disturbed: Already Gone, or Hold on to Memories

And my absolute favorite song of all time... Circus Maximus: Last Goodbye. Reach Within and Remember are absolutely breathtaking as well, but Last Goodbye is astounding beyond words, in my opinion.

Rarity seems to be your mane pony, why is that so and what do you love about her so much?

Expand  

That is a good question, truly. It is difficult to pinpoint an exact reason, but the best way I can phrase it is that she is everything I strive to be in a way.

Truthfully told, I have struggled with apathy for the longest time... so Rarity being a touch dramatic, while ultimately a character flaw, makes me admire the passion she has for life. I have never payed much heed to my appearance, but Rarity relishes in it. As a whole, I find that Rarity is much like the best version of me; she is a very passionate and lively woman who relishes her life every step of the way. I, on the other hand, have stayed locked in my comfort zone for the majority of my life. It is not that I don't care... it is that I am too afraid to care.

I already enjoy Rarity's character from a mere character basis, but she goes a step beyond that for me, as tacky as it may sound.

That “Thanks” reaction is from Rarity herself. X3

Oh, I am beyond flattered!

To answer your question, however, not bad at all. I have just arrived home today from a short visit to my sister's home, which was... not the best, to be blunt. It is no fault of hers, of course, but the visit itself was more due to obligation than a simple desire to speak with her and her husband, since they had just moved into a new home not too long ago, and needed assistance with cleaning and such. Not to mention, her car's battery died quite a ways from home a few days ago, so we had to drive roughly an hour to her destination and back, while also buying a new battery, inspecting the vehicle itself, drive it all the way to her destination... it was a mess. Oh, and it was terribly hot throughout.

That said, there were some fun times had, such as the various video and board games we played, and also the myriad of simply delightful quotes I picked up along the way (which you may see in the future).   

When all is said and done, I am glad to be home. The beds at my sister's home were terribly inferior to my own.

Either way, I am glad to see you again as well! You have always been a joy to speak to, truly.

Truly, I am not very fond of soft drinks in general, but I do quite like flavored sparkling water, such as Sparkling Ice. If I must pick a true soft drink, however, I would likely say Dr. Pepper.

Expand  

That is a good question, actually. Though I do not pay much heed to historical events, the one that sticks out to me the most is likely the attack of the dead men. In short, during WW1, the German military deployed mustard gas against a Russian division... but when they began to march into the gas, dozens of Russians with cloths over their mouths, came charging out. In a panic, the German units fled the fortress.

It truly is a horrific event... but all things considered, one must admire how the Russians in this situation absolutely refused to die without purpose.

Expand  

Honestly? Not too much.  That said, I do find Egyptian mythology quite interesting, if only because it is among the lesser and more in-depth mythologies that has yet to be thoroughly explored by western media. While interesting, I find Greek and Norse mythology a touch played out at this point, so I would certainly welcome anything related to Egyptian mythology appearing in some form of film, book, or otherwise.

Honestly? I would likely invert all of the colours of  our reality for 24 hours or so... just to see what it was like. I would also invert which foods were healthy and unhealthy in that time, just to see what a truly optimal diet in that reality would be.

Expand  

That's a difficult question, actually. When all is said and done, however, I would likely go with Pony form. While I do appreciate a glimpse into what Rarity would be like in a human-centered world, helped by the fact that EQG Rarity is a bit younger than her Pony counterpart, I find the EQG Rarity a touch flanderized from what I have seen. Not to mention, while I do like that the EQG and Pony Rarities have different ages, I ultimately prefer a more adult cast, since I find that adults tend to have less... specialized, or niche issues to overcome, especially since Pony Rarity has an advancing career. I absolute adore both, however, as you have likely guessed.

Hi! I hope you are doing well. What have you been up to? @The Recherche

Expand  

Nothing you wouldn't expect, honestly. I actually have a job now, so that has been devouring quite a lot of my time lately. I do appreciate having something to do to fill the time though, if nothing else; I tend to get rather stir-crazy if I just sit around too much. The paycheck also doesn't hurt, even if the job itself isn't all that fun.

How about yourself? Well, I hope?
