Avery

Yeah, you and I both know who wins this one. This is my third public Flash animation. It's been about 5-6 months since I actually messed around with flash, so it was a bit awkward getting used to the program again (Especially when it's slow as freaking everything on my computer for some reason :L) This took about.. 2 days of working on it in total to complete? But I didn't get it completed until last night. And I was making it about a week before hand so... yeah. But hey! Tell me what you think! I LOVE to hear what you people have to say about most things! So, I hope you all have a wonderful day and a lovely night, until we meet again.

Well well, isn't this something that isn't talked about to a mind boggling degree? Heheh, hello everyone, name's Avery. I'm here today (rather tonight for me) to just... ramble about Love and Romance and how it really... affects people. Now, I'm in no position to declare anything, I don't even have anyone special at the moment, but its still nice to think about these things to keep my mind calm and collected. However, with how many love songs I've been finding lately... it just makes me want to write a bit about it. Though most people would just pass this by, I really just made this blog to... ramble. To let my mind go and just relax as I write something that's on my mind. And believe me, I've gotten a lot on my mind that I wish I would've wrote down. But that was the past and it's done for. But now, let's just focus on something that we all know and hold dear to our hearts to the end of our time. I never really wanted to actually talk about romance up front like this, as I can barely hold myself together when I even think the possibility of me or one of my characters actually being in a relationship with anyone, I kinda... fall apart in a nervous wreck of everything. I usually need to walk away from the subject and take a breather most of the time! But... that's kinda my thing since I'm not used to the romantic nature of love since... well, I never really experienced it besides the love of my family. Of course, say what you will, I can't hold myself together when things get lovey dovey. In that sense, I'd be one of those cliché people I always read in books. But really, I love to just think about the subject from time to time... it helps me keep calm honestly. Helps me keep myself together and not fall into depression most times, and you have no idea how many times I saved myself just by thinking about one of my fantasy crushes, heheh. It's kinda amazing really. Though, everyone should have that special little moment to themselves, up against a couch, all cozy and warm, cuddling together next to a fireplace, it's all filled with a romantic vibe really. Something to be treasured forever, and cherished just as much. It's a great thing to do, to be with that special someone in your life, talking about events that have happened, laughing the night away, and simply being happy together. It's nice, and something I wish I did more with someone. Heheh, oh no, I'm becoming soft now haha. Actually, now that I'm writing about this, let me tell you about my fantasy crushes. Though, you may know both of them due to popularity alone, I like them for who they are, well... actually love them for who they are. They both have that vibe that feels like they could help me through tough times, and I help them when the time comes. Then again... I'm right here, talking about this instead of maybe writing my story (But really, its hard to write it for some reason... I don't know why) But they are Twilight Sparkle and Blaze the Cat. Ironic huh? A guy with a prince character happens to be crushing on other members of royalty. But... this was waaaaay before I EVER made any characters honestly. They both were the first ones I EVER really... found myself attracted to, mainly because of what they do. I felt, even back then, that they could help me with the stuff that I have trouble with. And I would always imagine the crazy adventures that I'd have with them... going through forests, the great plains, and relaxing with friends a plenty. It's also weird... I'm attracted to purple for some reason, never knew why. I guess I just like purple that much. ...Oh boy, I think I wrote enough. Hahaha. Well, this will be my ending statement for this entry. Even though I don't exactly make a lot of these, it's... still fun to let my mind ramble on. If you came this far, haha, thanks for reading. Though I will ask something... do you care if I started an Ask Blog for my characters? I always think that those lets people develop their character a bit more, with random questions coming from other people. Course, I wouldn't know if it was alright if I could do such a thing, which is why I'm asking this. But before I go, because I really need some sleep, how about you tell me your experiences with love and romance? It'd be interesting to hear them! I hope you have a wonderful day, and a lovely night, until we meet again.

Notta problem! I always love answering questions like that, makes me think a bit more, add a bit, take away, make it better as a whole. And thank you for the kind words, it means a lot!

We honestly don't know quite yet, do we? Magic is the most of what Friendship is, so perhaps only Twilight has the Alicorn capabilities? We don't know. And I don't know, what WOULD happen? Would Friendship cease to exist? I wouldn't think so. Would there just be a new line of the bearers of the elements of harmony? Perhaps. We just don't know. I don't know, you don't know, how would anybody know? This is all just a theory, nothing more, nothing less. Just the rambles of someone that wishes to explore more of the world of MLP, because it's rich to the core with lore that has yet to be discovered.

Simple really, they are a part of the element of Friendship just as much as Twilight is. Friendship, in the beginning, knew that their power would be too great alone, so while it went dormant in the ground and made the Tree of Harmony, it knew it had to be shared, that the others would know that Friendship really is powerful, but alone would be too destructive. Together, it can bring the harmonious vibes within the heart, where peace and even hardships become the source of how one grows, and becomes stronger. The Teacher knows of how it should be handled, but the student is the one to carry the legend, to bring about new ways of thinking. The Original Friendship knew that alone, it couldn't be taken correctly. Twilight and her friends, carried that legend, and made it even more of a purposeful magic that everyone knows, even if they don't really realize it. I do know of the Greek legends and most of how they work. But the MLP Universe seems to only be influenced by those Greek Legends, not necessarily completely ruled by it. Some mythical monsters and locations appear in the world, such as Cerberus and Tartarus. But, this world has its own mythology, perhaps just influenced by another, which is I think that the Elements were first. Just like Greek has its many gods and goddesses that shaped the world, I put the same concept, only for the elements instead. But... who knows? Perhaps there are more Greek influences within this theory, perhaps not? It's really... up to the person. Because a story is told, generations over, but never the same as the original, it is changed, many a time, though not on purpose.

Greetings and salutations fellow ponies of Canterlot, my name is Avery and I would like to direct your attention to the mystery of Alicorns; their existence, purpose, and overall, why they are such a rare race. During this, I would like to point out that this is but a personal theory of mine, even making a video about it in the near future when I get my laptop back to me. You can discuss this however you want, but I implore you that this is my own personal thought and process about the Alicorn race, since I took the option of having an Alicorn OC, and I'm sticking with it. Now, I brought this up mainly because I was reading through the comments of my previous entries on this blog. Even though the previous ones were more for venting out stress, it still made me think. (Also, for somereason, I don't get notifications about the comments naturally. Which is why it took me this long to begin with.) So now, I'm going to throw my idea at you, and hopefully you'll follow the same idea that I have, perhaps... even make something from it. Now, the Alicorn race is an extremely rare race in which it is composed of the three main pony races. Those being: Earth Ponies, Unicorns, and Pegasi. So far, from this point, the only time we've ever seen Alicorns the majority of the time, is through royalty. Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, and Princess Twilight. First... let's look at Twilight, as she wasn't always the Princess of Friendship that we now know her as. Twilight was a simple unicorn in the studies of Princess Celestia, working her hardest to please her mentor as best as possible. Though with the coming of Ponyville, she then took on lessons in friendship, as she and all of her close friends were the pieces of the Elements of Harmony. During the hard and troublesome quest through many adventures, and simple life lessons, she had... gained the Alicorn gene through the magic of Celestia. We all know that Alicorn magic is extremely powerful, capable of raising and lowering the sun and moon, bringing love to a pony's heart, and bringing harmony to all of the land. So, something like this should be easy to handle, right? ...Well, I don't believe its as simple as that. So, let's take a look at the other princesses: Celestia, Luna, and Cadence. Cadence was the most recent princess that we had knowledge of before Twilight, and thanks to Twilight's flashbacks, we know that she was an Alicorn when she was taking care of Twilight when her family wasn't around. But, we also know that she is the Crystal Princess, ruler of the Crystal Empire. However, her empire was gone for well over a thousand years, so how is it that she was able to escape the vanished empire? That's an entirely different story for another time, but still noteworthy. Cadence has been the Princess of Love for quite sometime, and she has that title well kept. However, we don't know a lot about Cadence, other than she's the ruler of the Crystal Empire, and that she's the Princess of Love. Now, for Celestia and Luna. They've been around for well over a thousand years as well, possibly even two thousand years. They raise the Sun and Moon respectively, so their powers are supreme at this point. Celestia has been the main ruler of Equestria, giving guidance to those that were in need of it. Luna was the second in command, helping those ease their troubles, and prevent any trouble from being caused. Much like the objects they move; the sun usually gives guidance for lost ponies, while the moon helps calm the mind, usually bringing peace. We've always known that Celestia and Luna were Alicorns, perhaps since birth, but what about them really makes the Alicorn race so rare? Well, let's take a look at their titles. Princess of the Sun Princess of the Moon Princess of Love Princess of Friendship Each Princess represents something, Celestia represents the Sun, which brings light. Luna represents the Moon, which symbolizes darkness. Cadence represents Love, something that resides in every living being. Twilight represents both Magic and Friendship, two things that can be compared as extremely powerful in all media. So, what am I getting at? Well... Alicorns are basically gods in a sense (Goddesses in this one), and each one represents something in one way or another. But what if I told you, that the princesses were just reincarnations? Celestia and Luna represent an element, those being Light and Dark respectfully. While Cadence and Twilight represent emotions of the heart, being Love and Friendship respectfully. Now, if they were at all completely of this nature, they would look completely different, wouldn't they? They would have their bodies match their element, however, they don't, making it be that they aren't the first that they were the bearers of those elements. So, let's take a look into the past, FAAAAAAAAAAAAAR back to the beginning of the pony race. Where there was little to nothing. This was where the first four ponies came to existence, the ponies of the elements. Water Fire Earth Wind Water was a Unicorn, making the first benefit of magic, giving life to the earth below, and making it hard to move. Earth, the earth pony, in turn, made the landscape, shaped the world for those to enjoy it, but would be too stubborn to do anything else. Wind, the Pegasus, made everything move, giving purpose to everything, however being too cold for many. Fire, the confused, brought warmth to the land, making it better for life to sustain, but also causing destruction to what it touched. However, those were just the beginning, as fire came to be, so did Light and Dark. Along with life on the land, brought about emotions to share, some of the first being Joy, Friendship, and Love. Friendship believed that it was too powerful by itself, thinking that one wrong move could ruin the world. So, it fell dormant deep into the earth, becoming a seed, which would grow into the Tree of Harmony, bearing the six equally powered gems of Friendship. But with the emotions that came first, also came the opposite, such as Discord, Envy, and Fear. These elements have been fighting eachother for generations, each one having a new body to hold, becoming something such as Deer, a Sea Serpent, a Dragon, or perhaps simply a Pony. Now, with this newest generation, this is the fourth reincarnation of the elements, bringing harmony, causing mischief... whatever they were. For Light, Dark, Love, and Friendship, they were ponies, like their original selves. For Discord, Wind, and Fear, they took the bodies of a Draconius, Spirits, and a Tyrant. Quite the variety, wouldn't you say? But... what about you? What do you think about this little theory of mine? I would love to hear it, it ties in for so many things. But also makes for some unique stories... wouldn't you say? Well, I hope to hear from you all about this, because this is a big idea of mine. My name is Avery, writer extraordinaire, and believer of many things. I hope you all have a wonderful day, and a lovely night, until we meet again.
