Confound it… the first Master Art Challenge started and I’m loaded with homework… ESPECIALLY SINCE IT’S DA VINCI. HE IS THE KING OF THE SKETCH. Also, Veil’s hat was everywhere (albeit with a palette swap) in today’s episode. That’s what I noticed. (Addition): You’ll also be seeing a lot of concept art in the next week, since I’m doing some...

Introspection into the Author

If you, for some bizarre reason, wanted to know how I think and who I am, have some songs that quite strongly identify me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XftdS9_KKGc&feature=autoplay&list=FL11E5_5fL0UF60GmRcYmKUA&lf=plpp_video&playnext=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGw1p-gRpuQ&list=FL11E5_5fL0UF60GmRcYmKUA&index=18&feature=plpp_video ...

Social contracts, being the relationship between people in a civilization, are a key part of philosophy. I have bits and pieces of one bubbling around in my head. One of the most interesting points of it though was inspired by none other than Pinkie Pie. It came from the episode, A Friend in Deed. So, Pinkie Pie runs around with the express intent of making people happy. That alone is her purpose...

I wanna end my Lifeeee. ~I have no life, Maria’s Mod)) Here’s one person who would care. You are a brilliant person, and life holds much good for you- don’t give up on it. It’s always worth it to live, no matter how bad it might seem.

A Quick Question

I’m going to be writing a 4-6 page short story soon. What should it be about? These are my ideas thus far: -Widgets visits his brother in the midst of a violent revolution -How Pepony earned her cutie mark* -Some of the less legal things the Lich did in the past -MLP Fanfic:* -Derpy the Genius -Expansion of a Song/Idea (September, one of Aviator’s songs, etc) -Conversion...

Peradventure, does anyone know a good drawing tablet that is not on the high end of expensive? Artistic irritation has arisen at being stuck with vectors, which while effective, are not quite the same as a good sketch. And I do not have the time to sketch something and then redo with vectors on a frequent basis. On an unrelated note, peradventure is the 20% cooler root to perhaps. I figure that...

Confound these ponies for addressing an idea right before I was going to! I do forgive them, though, because today’s episode was brilliant. Hurricane Fluttershy was about an effect I call the Miracle of the Commons (the inverse of the Tragedy of the Commons). When taken and considered alone, an action or person often doesn’t seem like much, nor seem to have much potential. But repeat...

Because I’m to impatient to wait to express my satisfaction with today’s episode, I’m just going to post this while I finish my analysis.

So, my school plays music between classes. In celebration of the season, I got Winter Wrap Up to be among those songs. It won’t be implemented for a week because of how the song selection system works, but it will play a few times for the next 3 weeks (probably 5-6 times). I suppose being late is worthwhile if I get to hear it more. The non-bronies won’t stand a chance.

That awkward moment when you have to start working on the follower post again because someone new followed you. Except it’s not really awkward. It’s brilliant! Shoutout to http://askaxelpool.tumblr.com/!

Investigative Journalism

Have more delaying tactics as I waste away on videogames and design a follower spotlight, and plan the plotlines of the various characters. It’s a short story again, from a few months ago, after the break. I should return to normal content quickly. [[MORE]] The bizarre organism turned from his interrogations.

“A few questions for the Lich. How exactly did you become a lich? What were you before becoming a lich? What interests have arisen after becoming a lich? How did you get your fancy desk? And, finally, do you have any familial relations to any of the other cast members?” -Hethander

PSA: Storylines

I’m going to start writing plots now and again sometime soon. That was actually half the reason I designed the Lich’s study (the other being to give him a backdrop for answering questions). Having a storyline ought to push a bit of character development. In other news, I actually made the Lich’s desk even fancier.

Brony Ethnography

Here’s a little paper I wrote on the brony culture a week ago. Considering this is my 4th paper on bronies, I think I could be reasonably termed a brony apologetic. I got the only 100 in the class with it, so I’d say: Paper after the break.
