The-Jaded-Bug

The sheer badassery is overwhelming me. *-*

Welp, I've got some good news over here: As the only brony living in Vermont I've survived the hurricane. No power outages, the house isn't flooded, in my area. Yes, there was flooding in other parts and a major power outage in one county, but luckily me and the rents are safe. The river near our house was rumored to be flooding and we packed up backpacks with extra clothes in case, but it turned out that it was farther down it rather than near our house. The water level is now lowering there, it's raining a lot less than before, and the winds aren't too bad now. Just leaving in a positive satus report over here from yours truly.

Melikes them cupcakes.

Because I'm a little late to the heard, I'm pretty sure it's the first time that I saw this. I lol'd

Name: Swift Kite (nicknamed Kite, used to go by Swift) Sex: Female Age: Older filly/young mare Species: Pegasus Pelt Color: A vivid, medium/dark reddish pink (#BF2455) Mane/Tail/Markings Color & Style: Dodger blue (#1E90FF), somewhat windswept mane and tail with curved, narrow spikes. Not including the braid peeking at the side of her face, her mane (including another longer braid) is almost always held back by a pastel/teal-ish bandana made from the left over fabric of a damaged kite (#83FFE8, #6DFFA0). Her two braids and tail are also tied in place with the same material as the bandanna, and both braids have deep sky blue streaks in them (#00BFFF). Eye Color: The same deep sky and dodger blue of her mane, her eyes appear to show up in both of said shades, depending on the lighting (think of them showing up as a gradient, similar to how Apple Bloom's eyes appear to be a gold-ish orange and reddish pink). Cutie Mark: A basic, red and green toy kite with a slightly curved kite tale. Physique: Slender, well-toned, and only an inch shorter than Sapphire Shores. In other words, she has a slightly taller build than the average mare. Origin: Used to live in Cloudsdale. She now takes residence at Joy’s Toy Shop on the side of a small path in Saddleveil Plains, one of many that lead to Fillydelphia (the shop itself is part the shop keeper’s (Joy Spinner's) house, whereas Kite is something of an apprentice to the shop owner). Roleplay Type: FiM/Show Roleplay Occupation: Toy maker and designer at Joy’s Toy Shop though she's normally geared towards flight-oriented toys, as she is somewhat of a self-proclaimed kite enthusiast. She also runs errands between the shop and farther away towns for supplies, or will sometimes trade in bits for other hoof/unicorn-crafted toys to supply the store (as it usually costs less than having them mailed via normal Pegasus delivery). This is mainly since Joy Spinner is a much older mare, and since Swift Kite is the only Pegasus working there. That and she's the only winged being employed at the store who knows how to and isn't afraid to fly, unlike the teenaged dragon, Patches, who is the shop keeper's only other employee/assistant as of yet. Motivation: Swift Kite is motivated by a stable balance between her proficient work ethic and her artistic drive when it comes to making toys, especially when it comes to kite crafting. She loves her job at Joy’s Toy Shop, and she feels very close to the older unicorn mare, Joy Spinner, and dragon assistant, Patches, that run it. She is striving to make the shop more well-known to others when assigned to gather supplies and to find inspiration - for custom toys and her kite designs. . Swift Kite is determined that someday, with enough bits raised and some willing employees, that she can help the mare in charge open up a second ‘Joy’s Toy Shop’, one that maybe she herself could run. Likes: Unique and well-designed kites, pretty and alluring patterns, creative ponies and creatures, shiny and colorful things, pulling off successful aerial stunts while kite flying during her spare time, strange and eye-catching knickknacks or toys, moderate yet not overtly windy days (for kite flying, of course), and has a huge soft spot for foals and sometimes younger fillies and colts. Dislikes: Stormy weather, somepony (especially older ones) destroying one of her hoof-made kites without a justifiable reason (or any toy from the shop, and larger/more detailed kites), stiffs, those who would hurt or talk down to a foal out of sheer spite (species regardless), and her dedication to the shop rudely being slighted as a waste of her time. Character Summary: History: ] Zhe character in zhe nutshell: Swift Kite, while not always as 'spacey' or 'absent-minded' like in her filly years, has a tendency to be easily allured by quirky or eye-catching designs of any sort, and becomes either really exited or really nervous while at someplace new - sometimes both at once, until she manages to meet somepony with a friendly disposition. These behaviors can sometimes earn her a few odd looks from strangers, maybe even a few scoffs from ponies who see the glass as half empty, but these days she has learned (for the most part) not to let their thoughts bother her. It's not as though she isn't capable at what she does best, and her diligence for her craft and the close bonds she's formed with Joy, Patches, or anypony she's met with an open mind is more than enough to show that she’s more than a seemingly flighty, wide-eyed Pegasus with an attention deficit. After all, she's grown to be a rather spirited pony, one who isn't willing to give up easily on her goals.

Dear Princess Celestia, So i herd u liek mudkipz... -------Anonymous

Maybe he's Slender Man? He could also be a Death Eater too. Or a Heartless. But all joking aside, I'd have to agree with those who say that Discord won't be an actual pony. I like the idea of him being related to the arua/essence that likely took over Luna and created Nightmare Moon.

Are we related? I was just about to post that same speculation. Even if Discord isn't in direct relation to said-aura, maybe that essence is what frees him from his 'stone prison'?

Like a lot of people, I noticed that references to the show kepped popping up everywhere. Then some of my friends of DeviantArt got into it and I looked at Tvtropes page for it, and I thought I would give it a chance. And we all know what happens from there~

Weeeeeeeelllll..... Melikes to watch Futurama as well and American Dan and Family Guy. I haven't been watching a lot of live action stuff lately though I do like Scrubs and Ghost Wisperer. On another note, there's one paticular show that I happen to really, really like. Here's a hint: WHAT TIME IS IT?

I lol'd And said-lol has been second'd.

Dear Princess Celestia, As much as I have been greatful about the free time that my summer vacation has granted me, I have realized that even the creative and freedom-seeking fillies such as myself can still miss being under the so-called constraints of school. Within the month of August it seems as though time has slowed down, like the days have turned into weeks while the minutes have turn into painfully long-lasting hours. Still however, such a realization has also reminded me of a little something that should provide my assistance in overcoming this boredom of mine: Patience. While such a thing can only do so much for a pony, it has has also helped me somewhat when it comes finding ways for me to add variety to my daily routine, such as for example, me taking the time to find this wonderful place filled with fellow bronies who have welcomed me into their online community. I hope that I will be able to get more aquainted with them while I wait for the day when school starts again. From your faithful student, ~The-Jaded-Bug

Eh, it depends for me really. I haven't told my parents about it, but I've tried subtly (and failing at) hinting that I liked the show towards my older sisters.I'm not sure when to tell them about it for now. But I also have enough friends that might be understanding enough to give it a chance. I haven't seen most of them this summer so I'll probably spilll the beans to them once school starts in September.

Well folks, I've decided to do the upspeakable (spoiler'd because size): I've submitted a piece of evil art for an evil enchantress. But seriously though, Zecora has wormed her way way into becoming one of my favorite minor characters in the show, if not one of my favorites out of the series with the show's progress. As of how that happened? It's anypony's guess. Failed rhyming aside, I made this via charcoal andchalk pastels. I probably should have made her stripes a more grayish colour, but ah well. This was my first MLP fan art anyways, so I'm proud of it noneoftheless. And as for why she is crying? Eh, even MLP needs a hint of angst here and there. Also, as for my second act of uspeakable crimes against Equestria (spoiler'd because, well, old design is old and there's a better one after this one):

One of the many reasons why I love The Colbert Report: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8WrKIvSEWI

As much as I voted for Sonic Rainboom in the last pole, I think that the arguments leaning towards Party of One have won me over. *voted for the latter atleast an hour ago*

This. Ifyou don't mind me quoting you, that is. If not, I'm sorry...

This. Well if you don't mind me quoting you. If not, I'm sorry...

That poor fanfic author gets a bad rap. That's the only thing he's known by and he's written other stuff as well... must suck to be only known for one thing which was probably a joke fic and it's infamous. =< This is true What else has he written? I couldn't find anything on EqD. Seconded here. I know a lot of people who have either drawn or have written some pretty amazing stuff, only for all of that to be overshadowed by one thing out of all of their pieces, even without being under the circumstances of the fic. Maybe there's something on the fanfiction.net account? Dunno. *shrug*

For me? PC-wise it was either Putt-Putt Travels Through Time or the first Freddi Fish game. *doesn't remember the full name* As for when I used to borrow my bother's Playstation 1 before I got a PS 2...'twas either the first Spyro The Dragon or the first Crash Bandicoot. Either way I had played the original games and then some. You can tell that I'm a young 'un.

I'd get why that would happen if new people were in charge of Pixar... But it's still the same people! D: Pssh, it was even directed by the same person who directed Toy Story and the first Cars! Maybe they've just gone soft on us? Who knows. Small question: would an angry appear if I were to say that I sort of liked the sequel? I'll admit that its emotional reach, character and story-wise, that it pales in comparison to Toy Story 3 - or any other Pixar movie for that matter. Still, I did find it to be pretty fun, chiches/lack of deph notwithstanding. Maybe it's because I haven't watched most of Mater's Tall Tales, but still. As for Brave, and I don't know why, I have a pretty good feeling that it'll be one of Pixar's most well-remember movies (well, other than for being the first one with a main protagonist being female). Though one can't be too sure about Monster's Univertity (prequel to Monsters Inc.). Also, I saw Winnie The Pooh in theatures mid-July. I really liked it and thought it was especially cute and nostalgic, but it felt kinda short even when compaired to the original. 'Twas still nice, however. It get's bonus point for Tom Kenny doing Rabbit's voice (SpongeBob's voice). And for sounding like a toned-down version of Ice King (from the show Adventure Time, and yet another role by Tom).

Aaaaaaaaaand, it's tied. The court has spoken.

THIS. ...Okay, so I'll admit that Cutie Mark Chronicles is kind of my personal favorite out of the four, but it's a lost cause at this point.

Past Sins? Yeah, I never read it either Seriously though, welcome aboard! Lol, I kinda meant Cupcakes. Past Sins is a definite close second though. And of course, thanks!

Hi Dotty! And thanks! It's been really awesome here so far. Also I know what you mean about that paticular fanfic. Normally I'm the kind of person who enjoys horror-related things because I get scared easier than others, but I tend to shy away from slasher fanfics, mainly since I once read an extremely gorey Courage The Cowardly Dog fic that featured Jack The Ripper (he's not a character from the show, just the author's interpretation real life serial killer/urban legend from the late 1800s). The show in itself is nightmare-inducing for a children's cartoon, but that? The whole premise was taken up to eleven.
