Ahoy-hoy! Would you be willing to do a vector of this entrance examiner from "The Cutie Mark Chronicles"? I hope these reference pics will be enough for you to work with.

A Minecraft fan, eh? You may be interested to know that a good number of the MC-playing regulars here play on this server.

"Ow........... ow........... ow..........." Dr. Spin Tale winced every time he stepped on his right forehoof. The curator of the Canterlot Army Historical Society had been a bit too careless this morning, accidently smashing his hoof against the desk in his office while attempting to pick up a dropped pencil. Fortunately, the injury was not serious enough to warrant emergency attention, and so Dr. Tale carried on and enthusiastically attended to those ponies that visited the small museum that day. Spin hoped they didn't concentrate on his limp too much (or his mane for that matter, but the curator was usually pointlessly oversensitive about his mane); judging by the donations that all the visitors left behind, they probably did not even notice. Heck, one pony even subscribed to the Society's biannual historical journal! Mostly satisfied with how the day turned out, Spin Tale closed up the museum for the rest of the afternoon and decided to trot down to his favorite juice bar in the center of Canterlot, sluggish limp or not. There was no minor pain that couldn't be dulled by a glass of grape juice... right? As the doctor's thoughts turned towards the sweet taste of grape juice, his trance prevented him from noticing certain details out of the ordinary around him. Like that couple sitting on an outdoor cafe table bickering about something silly, or that confused-looking earth pony mare blocking pedestrian traffic.....

Hey, you ripped off the opening title to my intro post! Hahaha, just kiddin' with ya. Welcome to Canterlot!

I still can't believe the writers had the guts to introduce Applejack's parents, only to kill them off right in front of AJ's and AB's eyes. I'd never expect a children's show to pull off such a serious storyline; just imagine all the nightmares the target audience will have for the enxt month. At least the animators had the decency to only show the looks of horror on the two Apple sisters. The horror, the horror...........

Discord will come out on top, being a god and all. Twilight Sparkle could have had potential to be more powerful than Celestia.... if she was immortal.

Well I'll be darned! I used to post on the Black Mesa Source forums ALOT when it first started up back in late 2004. I had a...... fiery personality when I was there (and I've got G-Mod comics to prove it). Staying on one forum after a while gets a bit boring however, so I moved on from that community after a few years or so.

Since this is the insect thread, I was wondering if anyone has idea on what insect I encountered a few minutes ago. It could jump really high, but its jumps did not cover much horizontal distance. It was a tad smaller than a cricket, and apparently it has a very tough exoskeleton (yeah, I'm another one of those guys ). Any info on these thingies will be appreciated.

As a Twilight Sparkle fan, I'd like to see how she would react if after some sort of big magic-related accident, she no longer felt worthy of studying magic. As magic is more or less Twilight's raison d'être, such an identity crisis would really hit her hard I deem. I would really like to see how her friends and Princess Celestia1 attempt to convince Twilight otherwise. 1Celestia could always use more screentime, hehe.

As far as mythological creatures go, I have a particular affinity for krakens. I'm not quite sure why; maybe it's because it feels the most "real", being based on the giant squid and all.

Spin Tale grunted as he slowly trotted into the Mending Hearts Clinic. The red-coated earth pony had not been in the best of moods throughout the last few months; not since he graduated from Canterlot Univeristy with a Ph.D in history and a load of student loan debt to show for his efforts. While Dr. Tale's new position as curator for the Canterlot Army Historical Society did its part to help pay his loans off, he had not been certain that his meager salary would be enough in case of a financial emergency. Combined with lingering frustration over his failure to land an associate professorship with a history department among one of Equestria's universities, the young doctor had fallen into a sort of depression. It did not help that Spin was no longer in contact with most of his university friends. Many of Spin Tale's friends no longer lived in Canterlot, but Dr. Tale felt no need to needlessly burden his remaining friends in the city with his personal issues. Thus, he increasingly avoided maintaining contact with nearly all of his old associates, as the doctor assumed that they wouldn't involve themselves in Spin Tale's affairs if was out of sight and out of mind. Eventually, Dr. Tale was left with only his miniature wargaming buddies to serve his social needs. The doctor did his best to hide his worries, but even his miniature wargaming pals started to sense something was wrong when Spin no longer cared to throw hissy fits after losing matches; something he was quite infamous for. And so upon their recommendation, Spin Tale closed his small museum for the day to come to the Mending Hearts Clinic. The stallion was unsure if its owner, Heart Healer, could help resolve his issues, but he figured he owed it to his pals to at least try something to make himself feel happier. With that thought in mind, the doctor signed himself in at the reception desk and moved over to the waiting area. Noting that one unicorn stallion was waiting for his appointment, Spin Tale proceeded to gaze down on his blue tie and use his hoof to fix his brown mane, which he thought he didn't quite brush good enough this morning. It would not be the last time that Spin Tale overworried about his mane...

I'm all but certain that my headphone issue is due to damage sustained to the actual wire; it's all torn up and junk. I used to be able to restore sound to the faulty channel by twisting the jack in a certain way, but even that will not work now. I'll try to be more careful with my headphones in the future, as I may have been....... a little rough with my last pair. PS: my dad has the same headphones and has also suffered a loss of sound in one channel, but I'm sure he doesn't abuse his headphones in the way I would.

Bleh, I need to get my headphones replaced. My cheap ones got cheap on me and now I can only hear out of one end. Ah well.

Well hot dog; apparently there is a G2 pony named "Petal Blossom".

I don't mean to burst your bubble, but Petal Blossom Rainbow was born in 2009; a year before FiM first aired. Going though the OP news story, I get the feeling that the fact that PBR shares part of her name with Rainbow Dash is just coincidence. So...... yeah.

Dr. Spin Tale won't be able to join in on the two main adventurer groups, since he has *cough* a real job and all (no offence, adventurer OCs XD). Unless coerced, he'll stay behind in Canterlot.

I'll be happy to lend my OC, Dr. Spin Tale, to this RP series. He's been professionally trained as a historian and is currently the curator of the Canterlot Army Historical Society's small museum. Do note: he's constantly worried about money, so he may end up working for the highest bidder (as long as the highest bidder doesn't behave too criminally, of course).

"There is no fate but what we make for ourselves." ~John Connor; Terminator 2 I may have watched the first two Terminator films last week. For those who consider my sig quote to contain philosophical value, it comes from a mock German propaganda sequence at the end of a trailer for the WWII game Day of Defeat: Source.

Now then, I think both of those things fit the show because they mostly play the romantic stuff for laughs (at least when Shining & Cadance are not involved), avoid all the stupid "will they, won't they?" angst that constitutes most romantic drama and because there is an understanding that things will stick to the status quo at the episode's end. Things only become problematic if romantic issues become serious, season-spanning priorities for the Mane 6 that change the old status quo.

If Dash was going to have a coltfriend in S3, then Hasbro's toy releases would surely have revealed it by now.

I think you might need some more sleep then, Lerian. Anyway, I assume that if there is in fact a new spinoff that caters to a slightly older (and male?) demographic, that it wouldn't do anything at all to change the dynamic of the *cough* mane show. I'd like to see such a spinoff centered around Luna and Celestia, since the setup of the mane show doesn't allow the princesses to star in too many episodes.

Before I forget... if anyone cares to read a comic about how a Scandinavian views the rest of the world, look no further than http://satwcomic.com/.

I only eat one type of sandwich on a regular basis: a turkey, bacon, and cheese sandwich. Nothing more, and nothing less. No veggies or mayo... nada. White bread and American cheese are my preferences. Sometimes, I'll eat a Meatball Sandwich from Subway too.
