mega thread What are you thinking?

Snoopy Fan and I had a discussion earlier about the MLP fanfic. He said it was cute, in response to my OC learning to overcome their phobia to vomit in the Nightmare Realm after my OC was asked by Luna if they wanted help with that. Here's my response.

"I think so too, this would be similar to Hasbro's official MLP episode Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep

the only difference is, my OC is not there to be punished.

I hope nobody finds this creepy, the truth is bud I do want some challenge if I were to be put into that fantasy world scenario of my fanfic. Without challenges we cannot really be tested on our virtue and bravery, and then that whole existence becomes meaningless.

Also if I wanted this adventure to be too easy, it would not reflect well on my character either, if I expected everything to be done for me without giving anything back, it would come off as vain escapism, not a genuine desire to become one of them."

In essence without problems to solve, it is no longer an adventure, I would not say the use of magic in fantasy worlds is inherently cheaty, and I have outlined an example in this scenario here. Magic can sometimes make fantasy stories far more interesting, it just depends on how creative you get with it, in this case, what my OC did to learn to become more resilient to phobia so that it did not continue to limit my character unnecessarily throughout the story, magic did not automatically cure a pre existing problem without downsides or risks for its use, rather, it provided a platform where my OCs psychological issue could be dealt with, without the physical risks that come with things like panic attacks. The dreamworld is enhanced, in my opinion, by showing Princess Luna's dream powers being practical.

Huh, I took that Bronyland Pony Personality Quiz again and got Twilight Sparkle.

I guess it makes sense, I used to get Fluttershy back in the day but I definitely see how I have become more of a secluded, neurotic, order-obsessed bookworm over the years

I might just tell the principal about it if he doesn't stop. I'm glad you have someone you can trust and are having fun with. I'll do my best to not let this person ruin the trust I have in people. Also, YAY Hello Neighbor!

 

That's a massive yikes from me. This person is not your friend, with their inability to listen to the word 'no' and completely inappropriate physical touch it sounds like they want to take advantage of you in some way and it'll get worse if allowed to continue. I'd recommend minimizing or ceasing contact entirely, the fact you're concerned about how he'd take you speaking up about it says it all.

Haunted hospital where you hear doors close down corridors where the motion sensor lights haven't activated.  The amount of weird shit you witness at night in a hospital. 

Reminds me of Ghost Adventures.

It hurts to know there are people like that out there, and there are many of them, but I agree with you. Something is not right with how that guy treats Sketch is not something to be ignored, and I would calmly request ceasing contact with that person. If that sounds too harsh, what does Sketch suggest be the alternative? if that person is not going to change, and I doubt he will at this point, but then again I don't know him, then the only sensible thing to do is to cut off friendship with that individual. He'd keep pushing and pushing until he gets what he wants, inappropriate touching is a definite no for me.

Am I actually a bot, which I didn't realize? They keep letting me do the bot tests

If I'm not mistaken, those tests are a measure against denial of service attacks, if a server is sent too many requests it can overload them. So tests to see humans are using accounts are needed, and you most definitely are human, yes those tests can be annoying such as when you're asked to type in a 5 digit code or whatever, but I'd rather that happen than a server be taken offline because some troublemaker wanted to ruin everyone else's fun.

There's a lot of superstition surrounding the place, you could totally film a paranormal series there.

[Dawnshine Wonder 2,462]

Oh my goodness, this ornament is making me reconsider the trinket layout on my shelf. The dragon statue with amethyst shards is the reason why

when I think of amethyst I think of Rarity from My Little Pony, as she would likely collect crystals like that.

Oh yes! Spike and Rarity figures next to that dragon amethyst shard statue would be great ornaments. A throwback to the MLP episode A Dog and Pony Show.

I'm seriously thinking of scrapping the Halloween October layout I said I was going to do. I already have figures of Mane Six. I just don't have one of Spike yet,

and the Queen Chrysalis action figure has been ordered, I got it cheap off Ebay. At least that way I could provide the photo earlier.

Rarity is super cute

I already daydreamed about being in Ponyville with her, out on a tour. Yeah she is that type of Pony that would help show others around, I wish the same for anyone else who would like that but Equestria don't exist, darn physics and all that. Oh well, I'm not trying to annoy anyone with my fantasies of the show we watch MLP FIM, although I do talk about this a lot. What I'd give to be there someday.

In the world of Monsters Inc, if a monster were to open a door station from the other side, would they end up entering the kid’s closet?

[Dawnshine Wonder 2,462]

Me and Snoopy Fan were talking about Equestria in MLP FIM official by Hasbro. 

Talking about how in an imaginary scenario where the place was real, it would be unfair to write off Equestria as inherently bad just because of villains who exist there in any of their world dimensions.

To me, it would be as bad as racism, in fact it would be racist IMO

Since Equestria does not exist whatever opinions people have about it does not matter

But in an imaginary scenario where that was different, that changes, and I could imagine it being extremely hurtful for anyone here, to say Equestria is a bad place just because of their troublemakers, I could not bring myself to say that to them, Princess Luna or anypony else. It's not like Earth has not had our share of dangerous people. I've even said I am of the opinion that the real world is worse than Equestria is because it happens far too often, and wealthy people who commit crimes rarely get held accountable for their maleficence, or if they do, they seldom get the same penalties as the average man and woman who commits a crime. At least Equestria puts a stop to their warlords, mostly, and their Monarchy at Canterlot is not the one starting them after Princess Luna's reform which happened at the beginning of season 1.

Tried maple syrup with coffee. Taste doesn't come through as much as mint or sugar does. Also My cat seems to look better today. Hasn't sneezed at all and her nose doesn't run as much as before. Update: The tea experiment failed. Though it's taste covered the horrendous straight black taste, it doesn't poke through much more than that. frusterating and disappointing.

Hmm - how long are you leaving it to brew for? Assuming you are using tea bags maybe it may be easier for you to leave it on for 1-2 mins instead of 3. Or you may just not be a fan in which case herbal teas are pleasant enough without the bitterness :] I do enjoy a vanilla rooibos. I think loose leaf prepared tea probably tastes better but I haven't explored that avenue yet... I really enjoyed Lipton vanilla caramel tea for a sweeter experience.

 

Thinking I need to cook soon lol

Stevia works best for sweetening tea from my experience, doesn't take much of it and it doesn't come with the same negatives to your health as fructose does. In small amounts sugar is not a bad thing, we'd die without glucose in our blood and sugar exists in fruit, but it's really difficult to ignore the craving of simple sugar when it starts, which is probably not a good thing.

While I think it’s important to be kind to others, I also think it’s important to be yourself.

[Dawnshine Wonder 2,462]

There are some things that would scare me about the idea of being reincarnated into the fictional world Equestria, and some things that would not. I had this discussion with Snoopy Fan earlier, by the way I had been given permission to share these, but this discussion only, there are some things for privacy reasons I cannot do so.
