Quote: "Quote: "Maladaptive Daydreaming"
I don't even know what that is? Someone give me a quick summary."


Basically whenever I stare into space or listen to music I go into deep daydreams that get to such intensity I basically blackout. I have been told I've laughed, cried, paced, while daydreaming because I get emotionally attached to the characters of my elaborate storylines.

My parents still don't think it's real, but the INTERNET says differently.

Aye, other countries have it, but you must admit, Sweden is pretty awesome and that alone makes it worth it. I'd personally love to tour around the Scandinavian countries, but alas it costs money. I suppose if I learn Icelandic and put on an accent across the other countries I could communicate with natives. Ek heitir Seppuku, Jeg heter Seppuku, Jag heter Seppuku. In seriousness, I know it's not that simple and yes I forgot the Danish, but I don't know it.

Not to muck with everything cormorant, but if you look up symptoms for something on the internet you will almost always come up positive. I don't think you could be "sure" with out this proof

Also, on this other note, anyone seen the movie Troll Hunter (its Norwegian)

Quote: "ugly languages though.. >:"


Really? I think they're awesome. Icelandic and Danish are a lot closer to Old Norse than any other languages out there (in fact Ek Heitr Seppuku is Old Norse for Eg heitir Seppuku, so some phrases are practically unchanged), which is probably why they're more alien, but I have a lot of fascination in the Vikings, Old Norse and their stories. So that might be why friends dubbed me, "Little Norse Prince". Swedish and Norwegian are definitely easier to understand than Icelandic and Danish, ideally I would like to learn Icelandic because it'll help me understand Old Norse a bit better. In fact the main character in my novel is Icelandic, so I really ought to get over there. All the same, a tour around Scandinavia would be epic.

I thought the concept was great. I know there are some bugs bunny and spongebob ripoffs there, but overall it was enjoyable to watch. The last few episodes weren't that good, so that's probably why I'm rating this one higher than it is.



Found this. Pretty cool:

I somehow managed to miss everything they mention in the new episode xD I didn't even spot Derpy I guess I was really exhausted when I came home at 11pm on saturday... I'll probably watch the episode again, but compared to the Pinkie Pie awesomeness we had in the last episodes this one kinda felt a tiny bit less awesome to me... but that's may due to me being half-asleep or whatever.

I generally dislike the very concept of "clopfics". I'm drawn to the show because of it's innocence and cutenss. However, I found a fanfic that actually proved me wrong. The story is centered around "clop", but by no means is it overdone like many others. In fact, it's an essential part of the story, and actually makes sense (no meaningless actions). The setup is as follows.

Twilight is given an assignment to find out more about love and affection so she can ultimately make out with Princess Luna.

If you are a mature brony, and you've never considered reading clop, make an exception with this one. It's called "Romance Reports".

[EDIT] Mmh, I continued reading it and it does get pretty intense (chapter 5/17). I still hold my position by saying it's a good fic.

Finished reading the fic "Romance Reports". Well worth the read. The author successfully captured the different personalties of the ponies and even extended on them. True, this story has changed my entire view of My Little Pony because I now have a new "background image" for every one of them (well except for Applejack), but it was a positive story and I loved every bit of it.

Highly recommend it. 9/10

Still keep in mind it's for mature audiences only.

Here are my ratings of fics I've read so far:

Cupcakes : 5/10
Rainbow Factory : 8/10
My Little Dashie : 10/10
Romance Reports : 9/10
Anthopology : 8.5/10

Next story I'll read : Allegrezza

Cupcakes: 4/10

(Don't care much for horror. It's not that it doesn't scare me, it's just that I don't find the fear exciting)

Allegrezza: 8.5/10
Bubbles: 9/10

Don't take it personally, Coffee, it's not anything about your writing but I have a long twisted history with mental retardation and Bubbles made me cry from start to end. I just have to give it that extra point for that, it wasn't that well written at all actually.

Huh, so we're rating fanfics now ^^
Cupcakes is just a tasteless horror/shocker "story", there's not much else to it... IIRC it's not even 'Pinkamina' but just 'normal' Pinkie Pie who likes to kill ponies or whatever? I don't see the appeal of that story, other than that it is shocking and everyone has heard about it, and mst people didn't like it.
Still haven't read Rainbow Factory and dunno if I'll ever do. Is that story any good, other than something grimdark/awful? And from that parody animation video I guess I already know half of the story.

About other fics, I recently read a handful of one-shots and such, the last longer thing I read was 'Aitran' (based off the first Myst game) and the author started the second one based off 'Myst: Riven' (yay!~) Seriously, I played those games when I was maybe 12 or 13 and I couldn't solve the puzzles, nor did I get much of the story, but I love to read the ponified versions of it. And I suddenly want to play those games again
Before that I had read 'Shipping & Handling', posted about that before, it's a nice story.
My bookmarks currently contain about 30 stories, ranging from one-shots over shipfics to things like Fo:E or 'End of Ponies' and things like that. Let's see if I'll ever read these. ^^
About clopfics, the closest I got to that was listening to MicTheMic's dramatic reading of "I'd like to be a tree" which is Fluttershy x Bloomberg (yup, that's srs clop bsnss there) ... and while I looked for the title of that one, I noticed Mic has read Rainbow Factory too (well other a lot of people have done that, I think) so maybe I'll listen to the story sometime xD
Whatever, I don't want rule 34 in mah ponies

And @Cormorant: I don't think Coffee expects us to go crazy about Allegrezza and to worship him as the best writer ever And that 'Bubbles' story, heard about that one before. I might add that to my list

Oh and some guys started a german MLP podcast (apparently the first german one?) and it's pretty nice, judging by their first episode

And I'm really looking forward to the upcoming Twiwight Spawkle episode :3 Oh and related to upcoming episodes: The Synopsis for the season finale has showed up, I think. Normally I don't care about reading the synopsis of the upcoming episode, but I'm not going to spoiler the finale for me...

Okay and now I have to defeat those darn Reapers. *mumbles something about calibrations* ...

Which is EXTREMELY weird coming from me. It's normally guns, fire, pain, hatred and suffering! Yes, I have a sick sense of entertainment. But there you go, this show has managed to find a speckle of rainbow on my blackened heart.

Neither did I. I know I keep going on about this, I promise this will be the last post about Romance Reports It really is different because it's based on a real event and I think it makes all of the ponies much more lovable and mature. You should give it a shot. It even has a happy end

Oh hey cool! I went for the Bamboo Pen without the Touch, and it doesn't have extra buttons or an eraser tip etc. ... Why didn't you get the "Bamboo Fun Pen&Touch" for a little more, with PS Elements 8 ? (I guess the Model would be "CTH-470S" instead of "CTH-470K" or something, but I don't know which versions were available for you)

You should take a look at Paint tool SAI's 30 days trial version, I really like that program (doodling around some Mass Effect pony armor designs at this moment xD) or you could atleast use GIMP instead of Paint
