Oh. I thought "Slower than a bus." meant something negative.

Even better. That paint option is on the bus by default and can't be changed. And it's the only Titanium White vehicle that I currently have.

Hello, I'll join in, I'm a bit nervous, but I think it'll be fun. My OC is Shale Blush, and here are some facts about her:

She's an inventor, and usually has fairly good success rates, but sometimes things do explode or work... not quite how she intended 

She's a bit grumpy, usually, but she isn't mean, just a bit on the rough side.

She likes to spend time with her friends, but she doesn't like her friends to *know* she likes spending time with them, think like a tsundere, but she acts more bored instead of angry when around her friends. She's usually having a good time though.

Her main job is being a "portal repair pony", and she was tasked with tuning and fixing a large amount of mirror portals found in an underground city. She gets them working, stabilizes them, then sends groups of adventure ponys in to explore and bring back samples of anything interesting. 

 

 

 

Some facts about me...

I've been in and out of the pony fandom for about 14-ish years, and it's my longest running fandom aside from Final Fantasy

I am extremely shy, but I try very very hard to break out of my shell and get out of my comfort zone, and I've gotten good at faking being "chill" in most social situations. 

I like to write, and I keep up a blog where I post stories, book reviews, and life updates, but my passion is writing fiction, particularly horror or sci-fantasy of some kind.

I'm goth/alt, and almost my entire wardrobe is some kind of black, skirts, tops, leggings, shoes, almost all black

Other than that... I'm not sure what facts to share... I'm trans, I'm vegan, I own a pet turtle named Inertia, my favorite animal is a deep sea isopod, my favorite pony is Trixie (obviously, she's the best), and I love buying and collecting fashion dolls?

 

I look forward to this event, hopefully it goes well!

That OC is gorgeous! Very cute, nice selction of colors! I like her!

Huh, I thought the bus thing was on purpose! When you find Titanium White on a sports car, then we'll talk

[Florana 186]

I never played Secret Santa before, so I'm both nervous and excited for this! I do have an OC, but she's not really a pony, so... I guess that just leaves me? 
Here are a few facts about myself.

1. I heavily struggle speaking out loud, so I usually go quiet whenever possible, even when I'm alone.
2. Thankfully, this fear has become easier to manage thanks to communities like this one, where I can safely type my thoughts to my heart's content. By the way, everypony who decided to post here is very brave and deserves to be appreciated!
3. I listen to different genres of music, but mainly focus on new age, classical, ballads, ambience, and anything soothing for meditation purposes.
4. On rarer instances, I also play the transverse flute, but only by ear. I still have yet to learn sheet-reading. 
5. Thanks to emulation, I grew up with a variety of classic games, including Super Mario World, Zelda OoT, Castlevania SotN, Paper Mario TTYD, to name a few!
6. As for childhood shows other than MLP, I loved watching Powerpuff Girls, My Life as a Teenage Robot, Teen Titans, WordGirl, and the like. You can tell I was attracted to heroines, hehe.
7. For the lucky number, I shall share a not-so-subtle secret, and that is... I admire and look up to one of the administrators from here. Which one? Come on, I've shared enough already!

But Secret Santa won't be the same without the croissant goddess! 

I hope those exams go well, it's lots of stress but you can do it, use the power of friendship and croissants for extra energy boost!
