<3 <3 Bridge to Terabithia <3 <3 I just love this movie (and book). I just... Love it

Without so much as a warning, Dawn was sucked into a hug with some of the other kids and their technical foal-sitter, Razor. Hugs were ok, hugs were nice, hugs were inviting, but coming from some stranger she met not even five minutes ago, it felt... different. It wasn't a major issue though, for it ended as quickly as it started. And it was time for hide-and-seek!! What child wouldn't want to partake!? There were so many ponies to play with too!! The more the merrier, right? Well, Dawn sure thought so. The game had barely started before she was looking for the optimal hidey-hole. But somepony, or more precisely, somegriffon, had decided this to be the perfect time to be a little rule breaking child. <<"Okay quick while he counts lets go to the Everfree.">> Glimmer ran off without looking back, completely ignoring her brother's instructions. Followed by the filly with a large red bow. So that makes two. Two kids, both in the midst of their sugar rush, disobediently running off into the most potentially dangerous place in Equestria with out so much as a second thought. Dawn was a good filly though, she stayed put whilst searching for a good spot to hide. But... She couldn't help but wonder what if something bad happened to Glimmer or Apple Bloom!? They're in the Everfree forest!! It's no playground for a child!! What if they get lost!? What if they get separated!? What if they get lost, separated, and injured!? With nopony to assist them!! She didn't like this at all. Good thing the blue filly said something about it before Dawn ran off after them. She probably would have just gotten lost herself!! So, with the idea of a search party already out there, Dawn jumped on Razor's back. It was time for heroism!! [colour=#F62817]<<"Who's ready for some searching and rescuing!!? We have two kids in the Everfree and we need to get them out!! So everypony stop what you're doing and let's go!!!">>[/colour] With a gleam of adventurous spirit in her eye, the filly pointed a hoof towards the forest expecting for Razor to blaze a trail full speed ahead. She herself was admittedly hyped up on sugar, but at least she had good intentions with all her energy. Just, the way it was turning out in reality was much more anticlimactic than what she originally envisioned...

So much for posting order. Alright, I'm getting my flank in gear and posting. If all goes well it should be up no later than next week tommorow night.

Same here, I was waiting for Derpyy to post so we wouldn't get to far ahead. Making it difficult for anyone to catch up. And for the sake of introductions, I don't want to do that everytime somepony walks in the room. Lol But I can go ahead and post if needed.

Regardless, they seem pretty useless. They're good at aerial stunts and tricks, not fighting dragons, saving mare's falling from the sky, or keeping a hold of Soarin's apple pie... So, umm.... How 'bout dem ShadowBolts?

Very nice person!! I tried to join one of his RP's once just because I thought he'd be fun to RP with. But then I backed out.

There is so much yes in this post. Jump in and run around. Go in hiding and have Princess Celestia make me immortal so I can study forever and eventually create a Cross-dimmensional portal. Where I would then go back in time to where I was in hiding (as to prevent space-time distortion and stuff) and invite all my friends from Canterlot.com to Equestria!! For a less Donut Steel answer, I'd go and become best pony.

Just a name I've seen floating around with an unmistakable avatar. Didn't think much of except "A sheep? Just...It's a sheep? "

Metal? Like Nickelback? Or (insert bad chemistry joke here)... What? Was that not funny!? What do you think we should do then? Take all the bad chem jokes and just barium? *crickets

This isn't my ask thread, so I'm not obliged to answer this. Honestly, this was not my intention. I swear, I love and respect the the staff and everyone who contributes to this site. While I understand that (hopefully) no one abuses their powers as a staff member, I can't help but wonder, What if they did? It could either be hilarious, or terrifying!! So I do have a right to be scared? Totally understandable!! Again, I didn't mean for things to turn out like this. I would also like to apologize to you (and all the staff for that matter) if I may have come off the wrong way. I make a bad joke and get taken seriously, next thing you know, PURE CHAOS!! Windigos everywhere!! At least noone got hurt? I hope... All's well that that ends well? Because

I know this feeling. It doesn't happen to me very often, but I know what it's like. Who's to say I don't like you? Honestly, I'm scared of just about the entirety of the staff. But not in the way I'm scared of spiders. More of I'm scared of what you all / they think of me. But that's a story for another time. As for my follow-up question. It seems you'd rather be loved than feared. Correct? If you're feared by your subjects, it would be easier to control them. Kind of like "Do as I say or you're permabanned!!" They may dislike it, they may find it humorous. Who knows? If you're loved, they may take it for granted. Sure, they may like you a heck of a lot more, but it may be harder to keep everything in order. So, what would it be? Love or fear? I don't know who/what that is, but I suppose you're right?

Is it ok to be completely terrified of you for no reason?

Well this is interesting... Silver Wisp - Kindness Dawn Sunrise - MAGIC Hocus "Shzaam" Pocus - Laughter

[colour=#FFFF00]Flash[/colour] Of all the days to have a storm, it had to be today!? The filly ran through the damp ground of Ponyville, trying to get to anything that could protect her from this weather. She recently arrived here just for the sake of getting away from home, only to be caught in this freak of a downpour!! Her red mane with orange streaks and her pearly white coat both soaked beyond all reason. Not to mention she had no idea where she was going... It was an off day for her... [colour=#FFFF00]Crack!![/colour] Dawn shrieked as lightning streaked across the sky. In blind panic, the filly charged and ran head first into the door of a very large tree... Wait... A door? On a tree? And windows? And a balcony!? Weird, did a pony really live in this thing? [colour=#F62817]<<"What type of pony lives in a tree? That's so...">>[/colour] she paused momentarily, going over a mental list of adjectives. [colour=#F62817]<<"strange and-">>[/colour] [colour=#FFFF00]Boom!!![/colour] [colour=#F62817]<<"-who am I to judge!?">>[/colour] She scrambled inside and slammed the door shut, unintentionally making a very loud entrance. Dawn looked around, taking in the sight of what was to be her shelter until the storm receded. The easily recognizable Princess Twilight, a griffon cub, and a little foal. All accompanied by shelves lined with books and the floor littered with toys. [colour=#F62817]<<"Excuse me, Princess Twilight? Sorry for intruding like this but, heheh...You know, rain, lightning, thunder...">>[/colour] She smiled sheepishly and took a few steps inside. [colour=#F62817]<<"You wouldn't happen to mind if I stay here for a while, would you? I'm Dawn and I, uhh, kind of have no where else to go...">>[/colour]

Huzzah!!

That's all I needed to hear!! Get ready for the first (to my knowledge) ShadowBolt approved for Mane RP!! So... Mind telling me now so I can start a new character app? Thank you Rosie!!

Is your avatar your ponysona or a preferred OC? If so, what's he like? Why haven't you app'd him for Mane RP yet? Think he'd be up for a good, old fashioned race tea party?

So, umm...How about a word from our sponsor? Note: All but a few Crystal Empire related threads were written before 2013 Thank you Bellosh for starting us off!! Now, I've decided to bring this matter to the surface as I was making an OC that specializes in low altitude acrobatics and I was all like, "Hey!! Why not put her in the ShadowBolts!? " -unimportant details and fillers here- Which, in turn, led me to posting this thread and wanting answers to the following questions: 1. How reliable are the World and Lore Archives? To my knowledge, the World of Equestria thread is the most relevant. Save for the C. Empire. 2. What from it is still considered board canon? Like the Unicorn Magical Aptitude Test (UMAT)? 3. Will it be updated? Last time something new was added to it was when Crystal Ponies became board canon. 5. Instead of relying on the old lore, should I just make OC's according to Mane RP's rules instead? Thank you Canterlot Staff in advance for helping me. And thank you everypony else for convincing the staff to (hopefully) let me have a ShadowBolt!! And, if anybody still cares about what happens to my OC, if worse comes to worse she'll be in some other group. *cough WonderBolts cough* Your friendliest friend of friendliest friendships forever, ~SilverWisp PSWL (Post Silver Writing Letter). I never know if I'm posting my questions in the right place or not... I guess I'll continue here until told otherwise!!

Want to find out through first hand hoof experience?

People gag on gifts!?

I like how Kodo is still able to compliment somepony else, despite being insulted. Isn't Kodo just so insultable?

I'll join by Dawn freaking out over some thunder then in blind panic, running into the library. Either right before the spell is cast or minutes before, trying to play with the kids. If that's ok? And Shadow, that would be brilliant!! Foal-ify all the ponies!!
