“CMC: The Next Generation” is a fanfic that needs more attention. The amount of effort put into writing a story like this deserves praise, even if I personally disagree with some of the choices it makes.

Talk about a stressful situation. There's a way to be on a teams call and a way not to be.

Weren't Discord, Trixie, Starlight, and Sunset given multiple chances when they turned evil? Every villain deserves redemption and those videos show that Cozy, Tirek, and Chrissy could change!

I would like to believe that they can, the problem is they've shown a pattern that tells us otherwise. Sunset, Starlight and Discord have made a genuine effort to make amends, but Tirek and Chrysalis did not, and that's why they ended up getting turned to stone, a severe punishment even for a show as whimsical as My Little Pony, yes, which is why people got angry about Cozy Glow sharing the same fate despite her being a juvenile pony, why couldn't they just remove her magic then send her to a rehab center? turning a child to stone as punishment, even in a circumstance where they became a threat, is a bit extreme.

 But I also see the other side of this, having statues of offenders in Equestria sends out a clear message that they do not tolerate aggression. which I think is fair. What would you do, if you were in that fantasy world? at least being turned to stone they have the possibility of reform at a later time, which is preferable to say, execution, which would be too dark MLP FIM. When all other attempts of de-escalating a situation have been exhausted or are not practical, a difficult choice needs to be made, actions have consequences and not everything can be fixed without violence.

Wowza that's a....well....that's a shocker. On one hand I won't miss her because she used to trash talk me behind my back around the office when I was new but on the other she was very very knowledgeable.

I know very little about Pokemon, why do people love Gengar so much?

Not sure, Gengar is difficult to get without trades in Pokemon games, at least in earlier generations I remember this to be the case. Without a trade, the only alternative in gen 1 and 2 is to cheat. But I am doing a 100% legit playthrough of Pokemon Crystal since my new save file got made a few weeks ago after replacing the battery in the cartridge.

Gengar is powerful, and can learn a variety of powerful moves like Gigadrain, Shadow Ball and Toxic.

But the aforementioned limitation means without cheat codes, if you don't have a friend to trade with or if you don't have a second game console with a system link. Back then this made sense as it gave Game Freak a means of encouraging purchasing other versions of those games, but now, it's a dated concept that makes some Pokemon nearly impossible to get for some people.

Coworker.

Current thought: "Her name is @Clawdeen but her avatar is someone else."

My having a Twilight Sparkle avatar to go with my name doesn't usually happen but I'm surprised to see someone else whose user name doesn't match their avatar.

Yeah this is ugly…hopping on a YouTube livestream and admitting this isn’t a flex.

MLP is on Tubi, except for Seasons 1 and 2.

On Netflix, they cut out half the series so now it only goes to season 4 then stops

That's why I am hoping for a bluray release of the complete series. It seems they have intention on taking them off streaming apps altogether, unless of course, Hasbro decides to renew them later. I was thinking about getting backup copies off of MLP from iTunes but if they end up removing that off there as well, it's throwing money into a fire, pretty much. Hard copies are the way to go, but you need a decent player that doesn't scratch the discs as well, and those are not cheap.

I’m going to try to watch that tonight too even though I’m likely going to fall asleep during it lol

[Dawnshine Wonder 105]

Thinking about expanding on my My Little Pony G4 fan fiction, titled An Otherworldly Adventure, I need a pastime to get my mind off of politics. It's a somewhat dark fan fiction that involves transmigration, and while it doesn't go into graphic details of death, at least not anymore than DCAU from Warner Brothers would do, the Bardo, Nirvana and multiverse are depicted in it. Souls of the afterlife travel from one life to another, some end up in Equestria, some either leave that realm or don't go there period. The premise of the fan fiction, involves path of enlightenment, with the eventual end game being Nirvana, liberation from suffering for all mortals where they find eternal peace in their higher state of being. It's a non commercial fan fiction, with disclaimer and credit to Hasbro of course.

I may have to write this down on a notepad or something, ChatGPT often makes assumptions about scripts for characters I don't want in my fanfic, and it ruins the workflow, has been frustrating at times, and if they disable the ability to write fanfics like this on there, that app becomes useless to me regardless, not a reliable long term plan when censorship becomes an issue. I don't believe Hasbro themselves are heavy handed when it comes to non commercial fanfics of their IP, they're usually tolerant of this.

I hope Clawdeen is able to sleep tonight, trust me insomnia is not something I wish on anyone, I've experienced it, as have some other people. It's difficult to get off to sleep with so much cortisol running through our system, however. Writing my fanfic, is my way of an escape, a dream of a better world that can never be true, at least religious people have the luxury of thinking Heaven is real, although misguided, most other people don't have this illusion.

[Clawdeen 14,722]

This might not have been the route I was originally going to go but I may have found a publisher.
