I should do the test.

Kind of busy at the moment. Well I should be doing something productive, and yet I am on KYM

Thanks to Schellu for putting this up for me. That awkward moment when I delete my post as soon as you make a reply.

Twilight- It was pretty spot on I thought in this, because I do work pretty hard at school and I am pretty good at history and science and all that. I also tend to be pretty rational.

Applejack- As second best, it was accurate in that I'm serious in my work, though I'm not very good at manual labor.

Fluttershy-I can be socially awkward at times, and I like to think of myself as somewhat of a nice, caring person, though that is a bit too self-indulgent of me to say.

Rarity-I'm not a glamorous person, though I can be a neat-freak and a bit OCD when it comes to organization (though that is also a Twilight trait)

Pinkie-Not much like, though I can enjoy myself.

Dash- It was right in that I'm nothing like her.


@ Schellu above


Btw, has anybody been able to find on Youtube Pinkie's "SQEE-HEE-HEE" in the most recent episode after she rings the wind chime? It is just too adorable.

And this is like the sixth time I've edited this post for grammar/spelling mistakes.

I think you’re one of the least dorky in terms of how your post, even though you call your self a geek.

EDIT: Sonofabitch! I can't get the quote thing to work.
Nevermind, got it!

Discussion:

Do ponies use food utensils?

If they do, do the utensils vary by region?

Yes, and yes.
PROOF!

No utensils, even for earth ponies.
Ill see if any other episodes contain em.

Checked Sweet & Elite – no utensils either.

Hey, Cite.


As for utensils, I would think not. Canon is the best way to gauge that, and I can't think of any mention of utensils. I haven't seen any utensils used whenever ponies eat (e.g., beginning of Sweet and Elite where Rarity would most certainly use utensils, Applejack attempting to eat in a well-mannered way in Over a Barrel, nothing at the fancy dinner with the Oranges in Manehattan.) If they weren't present in those places, then I couldn't believe they would be present normally.

This is probably part of the natural/anthropomorphized split in FiM ponies. In many ways, the ponies act like humans, but often times they act like horses (or dogs.) Canon strongly suggests that eating is much like the way equines eat in reality.

Oh, that title? I joined late in the CBC. Apparently all of the work I did doesn't mean much unless you get multiple points for it.

So even though I typed up a massive tl;dr post, put together a survey from scratch, piloted it for quality assurance, and eventually got it on EqD (which took around a full 24 hours real-time) albeit it late with the intentions of getting another point, directed my teammates to a near 20+ post to get us another point, and contributed a few thousand points to the freerice challenge…

I was still punished, because I only "got" 1 point for linking to the tl;dr. I won't do that again with that in mind. I'm not sore about losing, but I am sore about not having my effort considered effort because it didn't equal points.
 
 
But I think it makes Philip feel better that his less active teammates were punished.

EDITED to cross out butthurt, but leaving it there as a lesson to myself to look before I speak.
Also, >implying that we aren't all RandomMan's bitches.

Oh god. I just read Cite's level. He is Random's bitch. It's hard not to laugh. On an unrelated note, my Blind Bags came today! I'll post pics when I have the opportunity to take them. Too many people in the house now.

Real smooth there Sluggy…shipping in front of an animator.
And I just found out WillDrawForFood (Ask Surprise) started doing R34…

I knew nothing good will come out of Surprise and Cteno mingling…
I can tolerate that….I guess. as long as he doesn't reach Slugbox's levels of corruption ( Faust R34? Really? Fucking really? )Thankfully someone on Ponibooru keeps a list of all those who reached that level.

To counter-balance all that facepalming, have some cute Apple family:

Yeah…I am seriously starting to lose confidence in people like them helping to give us bronies a clean name….I am becoming exhausted of it….If things get worse then this I am unsure what to feel or what to do and or how to keep my self from destabilizing myself…Believe me; I can tolerate R34. I can give less of it to be honest, but when the main creator of such art for MLP starts talking to one of the creators of it…I might lose it, if things go bad…..

I don't know why but all of this is making me feel depressed…

Aww, I'm late for the discussion on our mane 6 counterparts…

Screw it, I'm gonna join in anyway. I'll start from the pony I think is least like me:


Pinkie Pie – Pinkie Pie is friendly, energetic, bubbly, popular, and plenty more really nice adjectives. Sadly, not many of them apply to me. I always try to avoid large social events, and I tend to get stressed out pretty easily.

Rarity – Fashion? Is that the thing you do with clothes?
Rarity is very outgoing, and tends to focus on superficial things. In contrast, I'm an introvert through and through, and I try to focus more on academic pursuits than anything else.

Rainbow Dash – I'm not much of an athlete, but I am pretty competitive. My competitive nature was a greater motivation than grades back in Secondary School. It's not like I didn't care about getting high scores, but I was more obsessed with trying to outdo a close friend of mine (In the end, I turned out to be a slightly better scientist, but he's by far a better mathematician). I also have a tendency to brag a lot. If I beat somebody at anything, I'll rarely take it gracefully.

Applejack – I really wish I could be more hardworking, but I usually can't keep myself motivated on any one task for longer than an hour (Example: I'm supposed to be tackling some physics problems right now). I'm not a total slacker though. I attend… well, let's just say a decent university, and it took quite a lot of effort getting here. I don't think I'm particularly dependable, but I'm not exactly undependable either. Same goes for honesty.

Fluttershy – I'm not a huge fan of animals, but I am a vegetarian so I guess that counts a bit. The main reason I think I relate a lot with Fluttershy is that I'm a very quiet person. I really struggle to make conversation with people I don't know (or even with those I do know at times), and I'd take a night of quiet solitude over a night of clubbing any day. I can be quite timid, and I'm not an aggressive person by any means.

Twilight – The reason behind my lack of posting lately? Studies. The thing that occupies most of my time? Studies. The only real goal I have in my life right now? Yeah, you guessed it: Studies. I got the highest grades in my year back in Secondary School, and I'm current (somehow) managing to hold my own in one of the best universities on Earth (that sounds really braggy, but I'm not sure how else to state it). I've been a pretty big science geek ever since I first started Secondary School. The only reason I ever willingly watch television these days is for physics documentaries. I've read way more popular science books in the last few years than I have fiction. I'm also a lot like her socially, but I'd say I'm more of a Fluttershy in that department. So, yeah… Twilight.


On a completely unrelated note, OMG WE FINALLY GOT A VLOGBROTHERS REFERENCE!!!

What, is nobody else excited about this? (Skip to 2:10)

Anyone here like the vlogbrothers? Well, if you don't like them, you really should. This is one of their comedy videos, but a lot of the time they make videos on philosophical or political issues. Their 'thoughts from places' videos are usually pretty great. If you don't know them already, the guy in this video is Hank Green, a scientist turned internet guy (srsly, that's his job). The other one (not in this video) is John Green, an author who's been on the New York Times Bestsellers List a few times. They're real smart and don't afraid of anything, so go check them out.

Hey guys! I just checked my emails and was surprised to find that my YouTube channel just got a load of comments and subscriptions. Turns out I got on Equestria Daily! Again! For a song that's already been on there!
I guess somebody sent it to them again.
I feel loved.

@Algernon
Oooooh! Vlog brothers! Those guys are great. Does this mean Hank is a brony or is he just pandering to us?

Switch. Despite the change you made last time, it's still a bit awkward for me.

Why is it that some of the most talented artists in the fandom are some of the most fucked up?

Why is it that some of the most talented artists anywhere are the most fucked up?

Think about all the famous artists from the past, and count how many of them were borderline insane, or already past that threshold. Many of them, yes?

This may be because whatever causes them to have their way of thinking may also be related to their drawing ability. For example, Crooked Trees, founder of the Ask Pinkamina blog on Tumblr, is…a very, very, very troubled man. On his personal Tumblr page: Filly Rule 34 everywhere, monster sex everywhere, indescribable art…all of which is some of the best drawn art I have ever seen. His art could be mistaken for photographs sometimes. This may stem from what I perceive to be a psychological condition he has, reinforced by some interviews he has released detailing his reasons for making such disturbing art.

My point is, many of the best artists do make disturbing, unsavory art; but it's still their art, and should be enjoyed for the finesse with which it was made.

All cause some one is mad at you does not mean all is, there are a lot more people who likes you for who you are then hate you.

I'm not angry at you. The others are angry not at your title, but at the fact you keep getting depressed. Seriously, you shouldn't care what the others think. Who cares if one person says that they hate your name changing? It's one person. Don't get too worked up over it. It's the posting you should watch. They're just all too short. You should at least try to post some Tl;Drs, or even a few more lines than what you usualy post. The one-liners and depression are what really gets them irritated. Now, go to the kitchen and get yourself some ice cream. It'll cheer you up.

Just because someone on the internet doesn't like you doesnt mean u should stop posting.

Crappy, loud music in vid
