@Miss H

Well...

Oftentimes I dwell on mistakes nonstop.

Unless I can make a writing style work the same way as my art styles, I don't wanna bother with writing...

I'm not good with dialogue because it often reflects my own speaking style; if I use that, it'll be full of quirks that are simply seen as errors. Stream of consciousness suffers the same problem but is slightly more workable since there's no character to character interaction.

I have more experience with drawing than writing that I know when I'm being told unworkable advice (my no-advice policy still stands, even if it makes me unpopular with the self-proclaimed "true artists"), but writing is so underdeveloped that being told I'm doing something wrong is like being told my life is wrong.

I should've stuck with computer science, shouldn't I?

I went with gamedev because it encompasses everything I knew how to do...

I just don't wanna keep correcting people trying to correct me over a stylistic choice that's misinterpreted as something incomplete or made in error.

I'm no stranger to rejecting feedback either because it conflicts with my style or because I've tried it a million times without satisfactory results. I also don't wanna accept any feedback that undoes a style choice unless there's a compelling reason to accept it.

The issue is where the line between style choice and error is (and whether I'm being nuclear levels of strict again).

Cross out that last part; I'm being nuclear strict, aren't I?

Well hell, it's my 5th forum anniversary, so I guess I'm posting again.

Life's been a lot fuller than it used to be, but I guess that's a good thing.

Sorry to hear this didn't go too well. I'm not much of a writer aside from Dungeon Mastering so I don't have any advice, but I hope you can figure it out.

Well, I'll leave it for you to decide if it was a joke, I legitimately thought that it was that kind of quarter, or it's because it's late at night.

Also, my art style now supports raytracing (no not really)...

Nice shading. What about making the environment affected by the brightness of the lantern as well? I don't know just a thought.

Blame it on the night...

Also, I haven't gotten to the part where environment objects get affected by lighting yet...

Also also, why did someone think it was a good idea to combine a heavy metal song with a song from The Wiggles...?

The internet is literally just a place where you mix things that shouldn't be mixed, like 100% of the time.

Speaking of mixing things, I literally dreamt this...

[Transcript]: Context: Cadance with a meeting with Luna and Cadance has to pee the entire time. THe one with hexagons is a nightmare to write out. Trust me, I tried. Yes, I actually drew out the random crap my dreams generated. Again.

I also turned Sandbar into a bat... Sandbat...

Did you dream it upside down too? I never have dreams memorable enough to... remember.

Literally forgot who Sandbar was for a second there.

No, my camera made it upside-down...

The other memorable dreams I had (that I can remember) were the one that led to Gem's children and the one where I was told my intestines were dying.

(And I thought Ocellus was a dragon...)

A little bit, yes.

Also, late reply cause I always forget to actually do things over here, but hey.

 

I get the bit of not wanting to keep repeating yourself, but it's prolly better to just give a simple "ok/sure" or something of a better response than 100% cut it all out. You do that too much and then when you actually want the help it'll be that much harder to get it since everyone is going to outright remember everything told has basically been shot down totally.

Here are my ideas for spin-offs. Which ones sound best?

Power Ponies
Starswirl and Discord traveling through dimensions
A Laverne and Shirley style show starring Starlight and Trixie
Daring Do going on adventures
The Student Six adjusting to their roles as the new EoH
Tirek, Cozy Glow, Chrysalis and Sombra being Equestria's version of the Suicide Squad
