ZephyrBurst

I was apprehensive about joining in pony RP as well, but whole atmosphere here drew me in to try it out and it's been tons of fun. Just noticed you in the irc room so hi there in here and there. Hope you enjoy it here.

Zephyr continued his stroll through the street when he caught a glimpse of a young pony off to the side away from the street. The filly looked very immersed in something, looked like she may have been writing. She had a quill in her mouth, she was definitely writing something down, Zephyr assumed. He glanced around and saw no others around, so she was alone? He wondered why a filly would be out alone at night. Curious, he walked quietly closer to her from behind and when he was only a few paces away, he spoke in a calm manner, hoping to not startle her too much. "Hi there." He put on a smile when he spoke.

Oh, I just wanted to add that I will post the full log of the RP here after it is over. I'll format it though so it's easy to read. Oh yeah, and of course, the RP will be kept PG-13, especially since I'll be posting it here. As far as the date and time, I believe Flutterscotch and myself will be discussing that really really soon. I've been away for the past week so we didn't get any time to do so. The idea for this surfaced the night I had left for the week.

Hey, welcome to the herd. If you love RPing, this is the place to be. Enjoy your stay here!

If that's in response to me not explaining my answer better then... I just feel that the two episodes as far as content can't even be compared, with or without the song. Owls Well that Ends Well was just a very weak episode in most aspects. (Not all of course.) If it wasn't to that then...

Oh a music pony. Well we're glad you found our little corner of the fandom and hope you enjoy it here as much as everypony else.

Welcome to the herd and yay to more drawings! I hope you enjoy your stay with us here. If you are interested in the RP, read the rules and go join in, even if you're new to it. Oh! Maybe pop into irc and say hi to us there some time.

Just wanted to also welcome you to Canterlot. Looks like you've got enough posts to go out into the wilds. Have fun there! Oh and if you have some time, pop into the irc room and say hi.

Welcome to Canterlot! No worries about multi-derping. It happens. Oh yeah, don't be nervous about RPing here, everyone is really awesome. Oh and pop into irc and say hi some time. Since you're new, you'll be safe from my shenanegans for awhile. Don't ask. O_O Anyway, hope you enjoy it here, it's a fairly relaxed community with some nice people.

Cloudsdale looked amazing in the gentle starlit nights. Aside from Cloudsdale being a city in the sky, it was so much different than Manehatten. The nights were rather quiet and peaceful compared to Manehatten... and really safe. Zephyr had never run into any ponies like his past self, even in places he'd expect to find them. It was both awkward and comforting for him. The night air felt great to Zephyr and he loved trotting about at night. Occasionally he would walk or fly around Cloudsdale at night. Tonight was like any of those nights. They were very uneventful, but the walks were calming and it gave him time to think while enjoying the cool night breeze. Tonight he chose to walk through a resident area. The housing was so unique for anywhere else in Equestria. So much was made through clouds. He walked down the street, just taking in the sights of the area and enjoying the quiet walk and the soft breeze through his mane.

I'm with most others here. Winter Wrap Up still would've been fine without the song. You and me both.

Oh, this bracket has my two favorites from season 1. My first pick is easily Suited for Success. Party of One right after that. I loved both of these episodes. :heart:

Oh, just wanna make sure that it was clear that this will be a chat RP. The RP room is normally in #CanterlotRP. For those not irc savvy, you can get to it by going into the chat link found on the front page and typing in "/join #CanterlotRP" without the quotes. The exact date and time hasn't been set yet, but flutterscotch will keep everyone updated on that info. Like she said, there's a subplot with Trillium and Zephyr Burst, and it's encouraged that everyone come in with their own agendas. Lots of fun and hilarity will indeed ensue. On a side note, these chat RPs can be fairly lengthy. Anywhere from 2-4 hours is normal, so keep that in mind. Anyway, if you're interested, even if you don't make it to the event, lets us know here. Edit: What CherryRie did.

Finally made the changes I've been meaning to make for a long time. Moved the bit about working in Cloudsdale from the Bio section to the end of History. Added a bit more about his methods in Manehattan and about his lack of proper schooling. Also took what Mane said and took out the part about him being inherently kind. It really doesn't make sense since he was fairly brutal and mean. Reworded to say he tries his best.

Zephyr began to wonder why she wouldn't want him to pay for her order. Sure she could take care of it herself or she wouldn't have ordered. His mind raced with both good and insecure thoughts, though mostly the latter. He shuffled his right forehoof slowly on the table. "Well I was just thinking it would be a nice..." He was interrupted when their orders were brought to them. The waitress placed their plates on the table with a kind smile and said "Enjoy your meals!" Zephyr smiled and thanked the waitress and turned his look back to Starlight. "So what I was saying is... um..." 'Oh horseapples!' Zephyr thought. His nervousness finally caught up to him when he realized he couldn't remember what he was going to say. He slumped his head down with disappointment, averting his eyes from hers. "I lost my train of thought." Zephyr didn't want to look so foalish and tried to think up a way to change the subject. He sprung his head back up quickly, looking at Starlight, and spoke faster. "Uh, so what's the plan after this? Should we both go to the south auditorium together or do you have other things you need to do first? Um... hmm, I can escort you there... err, but you probably don't need one. I mean... I'll do whatever you think is best." 'I must sound silly to her. Who needs an escort in Cloudsdale? It's so easy to get around. That was a silly thing to say. Why am I still freaking out?' Zephyr was somewhat hoping Starlight had other agendas so he could get away from her for a bit to compose himself. With all the excitement that was going on and his jittery stomach, he was a little frustrated, mostly with himself.

Yay, welcome to the herd! Do come and check out the irc channel sometime. And wow Skye, looks like you've been busy.

So many new faces, I can't keep up. Welcome to Canterlot though.

Always great to see new ponies around. Hope you enjoy your stay here for more than just the contest.

Yay, more new ponies. Welcome to the herd and join us in irc sometime.

I know you said not to post any more of these, but I have been meaning to get an answer to you ever since you mentioned it in irc... which btw, feel free to RAWR at me in irc for posting despite what you said above. ----------------------------------------------------- 1. When you first heard about ‘My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic’, how did you feel? What were your reactions (if any) to the title? I was recommended the show by an online friend, who periodically recommends me movies or games. Nearly all of his recommendations have agreed with my tastes. But when he recommended I check out the new My Little Pony, I was immediately skeptical. I had never heard of it and my skeptisism rose from my previous experiences with My Little Pony. To me, it has always been a less than mediocre franchise not worth anyone's time, so to hear about yet, another generation of it, I was willing to just say no outright. Which I did, though I took a mental note of the name of the show for later. He hadn't let me down before so I decided to go on youtube to see if there were clips of the show. You know the rest from there. 2. Though originally meant for young girls, the show has expanded to a wider audience of differing age and gender. Explain, in your own words, why you believe this to be so. There's a lot of reasons for this. The first thing people see when they watch it is the quality and effort put into it. The style and design is appealing, the animation is great as is the voice acting. Best of all are the diverse and interesting characters that lead the show. Each with believable and well rounded personalities. The stories are interesting due to not feeling so contrived and more driven from the characters being themselves with their perks and flaws. This makes it more believable and more importantly, relatable to the audience. A big reason, I think, is the studio acknowledging and interacting with the fans quite often. This creates a more personal connection with the show that isn't seen a lot with other media. 3. a) What themes/aspects of the show resonate with you the most? The relatable characters and how their differing personalities together get them through hardships and create them as well. The conflicts are typically created by the characters themselves. There's really no set villain and instead, the lead characters act as antagonists for the others depending on the situation. It's done in a great way without feeling forced. ^_^ What themes/aspects of the show do you dislike? While it doesn't really bug me and I understand why it's done, I don't really care for the 'moral of the day' aspect that comes from Twilight at the end of the show. Though sometimes, it's handled really well. 4. a) Which character(s) do you admire the most? Why? While my favorite character is Rainbow Dash, I admire Rarity's character the most. A lot of times in media, her character archetype is rather shallow. They are typically single-minded shop-a-holics with no real goals other than to look the best in a shallow way. I expected this from Rarity and I figured she would be my least favored character of the main cast, but to my surprise, she completely shatters this. She still portrays a few of those very feminine traits, but does so with care and charm. She's seen as a hard working pony and in many moments, she's shown to have a lot of responsibility in that she has to give up something so she can make a dead line for a client. She displays passion and effort for her work and understands that hard work is how to get to where she wants. This, to me, makes her an exceptional role model for viewers. B) Which character(s) do you dislike the most? Why? This is a hard one and I'm not sure how to answer it properly. 5. a) How has being a fan of this show changed you? Has it changed your personality/emotions/thoughts? I'm a closed person in that I don't typically share how I really feel with others. This show has honestly gotten me to be more vocal about what's going on in my head. [see 5b for the rest of the answer] B) How has being a fan of this show changed the way others view you? Not at all, most people already know my taste in media can be odd for what would be expected of me, except for one person. I'm a very hard person to get passionate about anything and it's something my roommate has picked up on. I like a lot of stuff, but he's noted that I don't really involve myself in a lot of media out there. He described it once as being emotionally distant from everything around me. It wasn't an insult, it was just an observation he made and he's quite observant of other people's emotions. I've been fairly active about following the artists and people behind the show as well as pretty much every other aspect of it. While he doesn't care for the show, (though he hasn't watched it himself, with the excuse of 'he knows he'll like it too' (Though he did say he'd watch it when I buy the DVD)) he said he really liked it that I was so into the show because it was relieving for him to see that I was actually passionate about something for once. 6. a) Do you identify more with female lead characters? Would you watch this show if the lead characters were male rather than female? I'm not sure if I identify with female leads or not, but if the lead characters were male, I'd still watch it if they portrayed the depth and complexity that they do now. I think they're relatable to both genders, not because of their gender, but because of their strong personalities. Which on a side note, it is great to see a female led cast of well rounded characters. B) How might the show be affected if the lead characters were male? This is a hard one. Though if the characters personalities were kept intact, I say it would be just as successful since, as I said above, it's not the gender, but the characters themselves that are appealing.

((OOC: Tempest said to go ahead and reply before him)) Zephyr rolled his eyes at Bonfire's comment, he wished he could rest, but he still had the flight back to Cloudsdale after this. Though he liked the trips, as they were relaxing, especially at night. He didn't want to deal with these guards and glared at Bonfire about his statement for finding a cell. 'Of course, he figures he can just make threats like that since he's some 'royal' guard. Now he's being nosy about my work, this package is none of his business.' Zephyr waited till the mare guardspony was done talking. Wow, did these two guards talk a lot of nonsense. Zephyr sneered at Radiant Steel. "Affronted?! You practically cornered her, how fair is that?" Zephyr quickly looked at Bonfire and sighed angrily. "And I don't know what's in this package! I'm just a delivery pony from Cloudsdale! I don't go rummaging through other pony's orders! I'm just lost is all. I can't find the address labeled on here. And I'm sure you'll ask so... it's being delivered to... " Zephyr adjusted the package so he could see the name and address. "Somepony named Mal, err... Mal-e-diction. Here's the address." Zephyr tilted the package's written content in Bonfire's direction so he could see it. "If you know where that street is, it would be very helpful." He glared at Bonfire again. "Now I've done what you asked me to do, so can you help me out so I can be on my way or are you going to harass me longer like you're doing to this mare over here." Zephyr pointed to Malediction. "She's probably saying those things because you two keep accusing her of wrongdoing!"

I actually went with Bridle Gossip and Applebuck Season for this one. Not sure why I didn't go with Cutie Mark Chronicles, but I'm not changing my vote.

RAWR!! Enjoy your stay, seems like you will.

Welcome to the herd, it's good to see so many new ponies showing up.

Yeah, don't be scared about joining RPs or posting up an app for a character to RP with. Everyone here is really awesome. Also, welcome to the herd.
