I don't really hide it. From some people, yes, but from most it's wide out there. I own a couple shirts and I got some shoes with shoe brony, though it's the newest gen without the cutie marks, but I just avoid wearing those when I'll be around the people I'm hiding it from. Most of the time though, I'm pretty open about it. I mean, ponies are my wallpaper on both my desktop and laptop...

Edit - Amended story slightly to use weather rather than direct mean to generate power. (Holy Bejeezus. Skye, you know how to point out possible morality issues. Let alone logisitical issues, but the morality one is the big deal. That had never even crossed my mind.)

Maybe... well... if it's okay with everypony else that is... I could join in too :eep:

Same. But I'm afraid it might be like the saying that cannot be unsaid or something to that effect. Curiosity shall not kill the brony...

Yeah, just saw that myself. Well on mine at least. Just curious as to it's function. Well, aside from the obvious...

So I'm working on a little something right now and wanted to take care of two things with a short little pre-chapter one bit (not really a prologue, just like a tidbit from the night before the chapter begins. The first of which is a minor issue that's bugged me since the beginning of the show. The other is bit of a fan squabble that I wanted to establish the standing of in my little fic.

The light of the moon was nearly gone; the day was soon to begin, it was as if the sun were eager to reveal the pony. The tear gently rolled of her cheek, touching down with a soft splash onto the gravestone before her. She raised a hoof slightly, tenderly sliding it across the name carved in an elegant font on the stone’s face. The alicorn bowed her head slightly, her soft, teal eyes growing even tearier as they passed over the name marking the second stone just to her right. The two stones stood alone with her, the three of them sitting in the otherwise barren gorge. She brought her hoof to her face and dried her eyes, though she felt the moistness return near immediately. “Naturia,” she muttered softly at the stone directly in front of her, “C-Chronos,” as she stole another glance at the other. A heavy sob escaped her and she let her face drop towards the ground. She brought her forelegs’ hooves to her face, slightly ashamed that she had allowed herself to break down. “M-mom… Dad…” she muttered. Her light blue mane fell over her eyes as she let her hooves fall back to the ground before the graves, still sobbing gently. There was a slight shuffling noise behind her and she turned around, a look of slight surprise crossing her face. “Tia… I’m sorry, I j-just…” The other alicorn simply nodded, a sad smile on her lips, and walked up to her, embracing her with her wings.

“It’s okay Lu. It’s perfectly okay,” her sister assured her, pulling the grayish-purple pony close. After a long moment, Luna pulled away timidly and Celestia smiled. “I’m just glad I found you. Are you ready to come back home, Lu?”

“I…” Luna stopped, and then began to cry again. She gave a gentle nod and the two alicorns began to walk away from the stones, spreading their wings in anticipation of a coming flight. As the two left the ground, Luna came to a sudden halt, glancing back at the graves once more. “Tia!” she called out and her sister stopped to turn back to her.

“Yes, what is it Lu?”

“Do…” Luna’s gaze dropped to the ground, “Do you think they’d be proud of me? E-even after all that’s happened?” The slightly younger alicorn saw her sister smile.

“I’m sure they would have been Lu. I’m absolutely sure.”

“Thank you, sister,” Luna said with a smile and the two began to fly into the sky. After a brief moment, two flashes of light surged in the air and the alicorns were gone, teleported far away into their home in Canterlot.

Okay, so that's the little intro I have so far. The thing that bugged me, if you didn't quite figure it out, is who Celestia and Luna's parents are. I'm going off a theory I heard that alicorns aren't really immortal. They just live for a REALLY LONG TIME, many millenniums in fact. The fan squabble, is whether Celestia and Luna get along. In my fic, they do. Quite well. I think this little bit helps establish a foundation for me to clearly state that at the very least.

So, what do you guys think? I just whipped this up a few nights ago so criticism would be appreciated. I also want to point out, this will EVENTUALLY morph into a TwiLuna.fic. It'll take it's sweet time getting there, by all means it will be slow, but I think slowness flows a bit more natural than some of the rather quick ship fics that exist.Anyway, FEEDBACK PLEASE! KTHNXBAI!

Indeed, These fools will be there. Remember, should they ever get to the point of somewhat physical contact, the response is clear.

Followed by a swift example of pure tolerance, of course.

At one point while he was the Governator, I remember my family watching Arnold give a speech. At one point he mentioned that we need to "unfreeze our economy". If you listened closely, there were a few snickers in the crowd, and my family was laughing our asses off. It took Arnold a second to realize why the reporters were laughing. I think if I remember right he gave up trying to be completely serious during that speech and made some remark about having to 'terminate' something or other too...

I lost power for a good thirty minutes. I'm from a smallish town in the Imperial Valley, which is an agricultural area, so we have a few of our own local contracts through a special irrigation district that has a bit more clout than it should. If not for that, I'd have no power and no AC, even though it's 1 A.M it's still 98 outside... Arizonans know this ridiculousness I speak of.

"Princess Celestia, there have been accusations that you are a heartless ***** and a tyrant. Any response?"

Ah, Twilight at the end of Ep 4. Like 9 trees at once, seriously? You didn't even try just sneaking some trees past your friends to make things easier for her? Not like it makes any noise Miss Sparkle.

Hi! Welcome to Canterlot! Hope you have an awesome time here.

...:squee: Aww, Spike...

From Casual to Normal isn't that bad, and neither is Normal to Veteran. Hardcore, however, is signifigantly harder than the lower three and Insanity is (noticeably) harder than Hardcore. It's subtle but it's those last two hit it hard. In Hardcore about 60% or so of the enemies have shields/armor/barrier and they actually are somewhat intelligent. On Insanity... it's just scary Blake... oh so scary... I'm Ben by the way

SAME HERE! Only because Skyrim is coming out first though... I'm on my third playthrough of ME2 right now, going through as a Sentinel on Hardcore. Started with an Adept on Normal, then an Infiltrator on Veteran. Going to do a fourth, Soldier on Insanity, then just do a quick run with a Vanguard and an Engineer on Veteran so I can experience all six in ME3. Have you played Deus Ex? It feels kind of like playing a cross between Metal Gear Solid and Mass Effect...

Hi! Welcome to Canterlot. Now, I'm assuming it's not too much of a stretch to assume your a Mass Effect fan as well?

Bump.

Doing good! glad to see another person seems to have joined up. I've certainly taken a liking to this forum.

Edit -

Character Summary = Edited to show interaction with other ponies.

^:tremble: I. Am. Terrified. And also amazed. That pic is pretty dope.

Oooo! Welcome to Canterlot! Awesome to have another brony join the ranks.

Edit -

Motivation = Rewritten to explain why he actual works (Now it actually talks about motivation. :flutteryay:.)

Character Summary = Expanded upon with both a Life Goal and the extra information that was previously in Motivation.

In regards to the electrical situation, in Cutie Mark Chronicles, it appears that the city of Manehattan does in fact have electronic light, as the city is brightly illuminated with steady yellow glow from most windows as well as street lamps in Apple Jack's flashback. Additionally, in the very first episode (I know it's a bad example, the continuity from the first two episodes is very flawed.) Spike has a lampshade from a modern, electric lamp over his head when he enters Twilight's room after Pinky starts the party.

Hope that helps.

You'll rather not like hearing this, but my least favorite was Da****y. For a long while actually. It just didn't make sense to me. Almost not as nonsensical as Appity (Seriously. FoeYay, in MLP? Doubt it, they're not Griffons.) However, you finally provide a reasonable reason! Everyone else is kind of like "HERP DERP Ponies HERP DERP Rarity and Dash forever HERP DERP Love" with out there being any sort of befuddlement and awkwardness. You, however, did wonderful. My favorite ship is still Twiluna though.

This sounds amazing! Hurry up and [approve me/give me feedback] so I can participate!

@Apple Showers - WOW. YOU CAN DRAW. And I'm not being sarcastic. You're really god at that... All I can make with and pencil and paper are chicken scratch letters, which is why I type all the time. It must be awesome to be able to actually create the images you see in your head.

@Nerd Hime - Your character. I declare them to be the avatar of adorable.
