No problem, everyone's got their boundaries. You're free to discuss anything else if you'd like here, your thoughts are valued.

Yeah this has nothing to do with the forums. It's about the conversation I'm overhearing at work.

Did that crack releasing Equestrian magic to the human world ever get fixed?

How to avoid adulting 101?

That may have been the issue with Equestria Girls, magic from Equestria finding its way into the human world, but that detail would not exist in my MLP G4 fan fiction, which I admit I have been sloppy about lately, I have not really been focusing on it as much as I should have done, just talking about it won't get it finished.

But the human world will exist in it and be referred to as a "Non magical realm" with the only loophole being that, souls can transmigrate from one life to another in this fantasy world.

Equestria will be one of the magical realms that exist in this fanfic, another is Aether Realm which is where the Bardo resides in this fanfic

Another concept I have been thinking over is adding a character named Gaia, and she is Creator and guardian of Earth in all the mortal realms, naturally this extends to Equestria, since Equestria is or is a kingdom at least of a planet that is technically Earth in another dimension. Disclaimer to Hasbro I am not passing this off as official content or my own. What Hasbro do with their IP is entirely their decision.

I am also thinking on an alternative about extending my fanfic character Gaia's powers by making her a creator of the multiverse, therefore she serves the purpose of being God, after all why does God have to be male in fiction? in this context, Gaia is mother of nature.

and like God, Gaia's immortal and indestructible and is above the normal rules of time and space, but has a strict rule in not interfering with the natural world, letting life forms make choices. She could have life forms like Seraphs working for her.

If her Seraphs act out of line, they risk losing their powers and becoming mortal. I could toy with a concept of "fallen angels" by adding in life forms called "Shriekers", Shriekers would be similar to demons, but they would be angels that were exiled because of their interference with the mortal world and whose actions had led to ecological chaos in one world that caused mass starvation, although that plot needs to be thought through as well. Shriekers would be life forms that reside in Tartarus in this fan fiction. I want to draw those when the time is right, they seem like they would be awesome.

Was thinking over how dumb the plot of Infinite Crisis movie really was. Constantine gets blamed for a disturbance in the fabric of reality threatening it but if the higher ups did not let Darkseid ruin a timeline in the first place, Flash would not have had to use the Flashpoint to prevent Earth from losing its habitability. Are we really going to have to discuss with WB why a story like that bothers people?

The stress of this may actually kill me, I'm sure that stabbing pain in my right side is unrelated.

Why does Triller TV have the audacity to decline a "British" customer like myself from paying for their service to watch wrestling commercial free? What the hell kind of treaty do they have with HBO Max that relegates the U.S. to basically cable TV but with extra steps? 

[Dawnshine Wonder 2,368]

Extending my criticism of DC, Constantine is a poorly written character in general, gets a little girl trapped in Hell because of one of his own spells going wrong. Magic in DC must really suck if it is possible to accidentally cause that to happen.

Edit: No I am not a fan of Justice League Dark, and I think it gets way more praise than it deserves. Batman did not need to be at the helm of Justice League to detect a problem with Cyborg's design that allowed Darkseid to spy on them, Batman could've investigated that any time, he chose not to, and Supes gets the blame for that as well. Batman is the techie of the group, he should have sorted it.

it was more egregious later on in Infinite Crisis when Constantine got the blame for the incompetence of the gods in DC. Technically Constantine's actions were not to blame for countless universes getting wiped out, that would be the Presence and the Spectre who practically let Darkseid get away with everything, they suck.

At least in My Little Pony Friendship is Magic we don't have to worry about magic causing that to happen, accidentally sending somebody to Hell. I see Twilight Sparkle gets blamed for her spells going wrong but not to this extent.

Having time to think it over, I realized just how bad magic is in DC Universe. Drawbacks for use of magic are one thing, but when you can accidentally send a child to a realm to be tortured for eternity, like in Constantine, magic is broken for the sake of edginess, it makes the spell worse than useless, it ruins the story.

Why isn't AI art popular among MLP:FIM communities? There should be lots of covers&illustrations for fanfictions, and I'm curious how many AI wrote MLP fiction are on the Internet

Also AI can help to draw MLP comics! that's wonderful! Anyone want to do that?

Though I'm almost brain-dead and about to join the 'I Forgot My brain' Party, there are still few ideas in my head

[Raskolnikov 588]

^ Lots of artists are opposed to AI due to labour and art theft concerns (artist jobs being replaced by AI, AI feeding on art made by artists without permission and using it for its art generation, etc)

If you ask me, a lot of AI art just looks tacky and I think of Facebook boomer pages when I see it. 😂

[Snoopy Fan 5,122]

I’m thinking about when I first got into MLP, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie used to make me think of SpongeBob and Patrick.

Because I can see this turning into a heated mess I recommend looking up youtube why people are against ai art and such. There's tons of videos on "how ai stole my job" and such on there .

WHAT?! Shouldn't AI help everyone become  a creator, like those writers could use AI tools to make comics, cartoons and even movies?

I got a name for our planet, Planet Hell.

Fitting considering genocides continue to happen in year 2025.

Given human nature it's impossible to fix what is wrong in our world. If it was possible to make our world less dystopian we would have done it by now, humans have been around for over two centuries since the start of the industrial revolution. People still make bombs and other weapons to kill each other, so I'd say our world is a lost cause at this point. It's  as the fictional character BFG said in the Raoul Dahl movie, human beings make weapons like that and no other animal does it. He could have been more specific about it like why they do it, to steal land from other nations, their resources or even antagonize them for their religion, all which are much more selfish and nefarious reasons than say competition for survival, but he is right though.

I agree with that poster on that forum, I'd leave this world for Equestria MLP if I could. However such a realm only exists in imagination.

As for humans I think our species is on its way to extinction.

By the way before anyone says it, yes I know humans have existed long before the industrial revolution as well according to evolution, but the industrial revolution should have made it possible to make our world less brutal, and it hasn't, technology instead gets used to cause more pain.

I do share the horror at recent events and genocides in the world and I don't think I will ever have faith in our institutions anymore - I didn't think I had any to begin with but it all has been made abundantly clear. It's been horrific.

However I disagree that human nature is to be innately genocidal and self centered and violent. Does a newborn child come into this world with innate genocidal bloodlust? I don't think people on this forum are some monsters either. I think the saddest realisation I have come to is that everyone is doing what they can in the ways they know how with the things they've been taught to believe and the psychic wounds they carry that have changed their personalities to what people perceive as evil or self centered actions. And it's harder to accept that complexity - it's definitely been challenging to my own belief system about people but I can't say my view has changed, it's just hard to separate my shock and anger from my views.

None of this excuses atrocities, though. Far from it.
