My Little Pony XXX: Trixie Treats!

[otakuryoga]

I rewatched Ticket Master. When Twilight and Spike were hiding in the storefront window, Twilight was wearing the clown wig the mayor wore for Nightmare Night. I'm sure it wasn't intentional, but it was a nice touch.

I'm not much of a fanfic reader, but has everypony seen the Vinyl Scratch Tapes? It's really good. The characterization of Vinyl Scratch and Octavia was excellent.

if you liked that one you should check out Allegrezza
--it is another Vinyl/Octavia story...and most people rate it higher

[Gadora]

This actually made me a cry a little inside.

I'm sorry. I really should have spoiled that one, I guess.

WHAT DID I JUST RANT ABOUT

LIKE, REALLY

THE ENTIRE THING

WAS THAT YOU ARE NOT LAZY UNLESS YOU CHOSE TO BE

HOW DID YOU MISS THAT

Laziness is not a choice if you have an depression or a thyroid dysfunction or realized that nothing matters anyway.

Okay, ponythread, this problem has gone on for long enough and I'm unable to solve it myself. I need halp.

My OC, Charger. I know what she looks like as a pony. I know her personality to a T. I don't, however, figure out for the life of me what a humanized version of her would look like or sound like. I've tried a bunch of sketches but nothing quite seems right.

So what I'm asking is either reference pictures of characters or people you think might fit the personality, or word-descriptions of what she'd look like. Preferably for a 21st century iteration of the character.

Keywords;
- Disciplined
- Regal
- Unbreakable
- Contemptuous of those she doesn't respect
- Chivalric (Thinks she's Lancelot)

Worddescrips would be great, more detail is better. If anyone does a sketch I will hug you and kiss you and call you George.

Not exactly 21st century, and probably a little too old, but what about that:

when it comes to moods the best way to express it is through posture and facial expression. Disciplined, regal and chivalric persons stand straight and tall, usually puff their chest out and arms and hands resting easy to the side or on something. Regal and Contemptuous persons uaually hold their chines high with a slight down-ward glance with their eyes. Contemptuous and Chivalric expression can conflict a bit as contemptuous usually are grim, thin, tight lipped and frowns while chivalric are easy smiles and bright eyed.
unbreakable denotes confidence, which can be expressed with slight exagerated pose, have one leg stand over something usually works.

other then that try accessories, light, decorated armor gives a sense of confidence. (who NEEDS armor that covers the body when I am so awesome!) while also gives a sense of regal and unbreakable defense.

I always liked his human version of the princesses. This new Luna pic is great too, although her face looks a little too young or doll-like maybe, IMO. I usually don't have any complaints with his art, but this one struck me.

Tonight's the night! I can feel it from the tip of my tongue to the tip of my tail. Tonight is the night i finally get a kiss from my Lady.

Ahhhh, my Lady, why am I so enamored with you? Is it your long silky tail? Your luminous white coat? Your haughty mannerisms that let all who observe you know they can never truly be your equal? You captured my heart the very first time i laid eyes upon you.

And yet... whatever I tried to impress you seemed to fail, with you hardly seeming to notice me at all. But no longer, for tonight I have the perfect plan. After tonight my friend Pinkie shall no longer have to keep the secret of my love for you.

Sundown. Time to go. This is it, I will get that kiss tonight! All preperations are complete.
Hours spent using all of Ponyvilles hot water in the bath til i gleam? Check!
My Lady's favorite treats gathered? Check!
Said treats laid out for a romantic moonlit picnic? Check!
Looking totally handsome in my top hat & tails? Check & Double Check!

Just one final detail to take care of as i walk to my Lady's home. Entering the shop of Roseluck, she takes one glance at me and knows that Romance is afoot tonight. She is more than happy to supply me with a single white rose for my lapel, and a single flawless red rose to present to my love.
. . . .

Now I stand before the door of the shop, suddenly nervous once again, imagining all that could go wrong tonight. Then I hear the voice of fair Rarity, "Thank you for shopping at Carousel Boutique, I am certain you'll be pleased with your purchase."

This is it! No time to back out now. Deep breath!!
I step aside as the door opens to allow the customer to depart, though so focused am I on the task ahead i do not even notice who it was. I catch the door with my claw before it closes and quietly slip inside, catching a glimpse of a purple tail disappearing into the back room.

"Spike? Is that you? I'll be out in just a moment." Rarity says from the backroom. After what seemed an eternity, but was objectively no more than a minute, my Lady strolled through the curtain. She caught sight of me and her eyebrows rose in surprise, but i stood silent and still. She approached and circled me, observing me from every angle. Finally she opened her mouth, but i quickly laid a finger upon her lips to silence her, causing her eyes to widen in surprise. She raises her front leg and rests it upon the arm connecting us, but does not force me to remove it. My heart sings at her touch!

Oh, why did I not figure things out much sooner? This strong, silent, mysterious approach is obviously intriguing her.

I pull back my hand and pull the red rose from my lapel and offer it to her. She sniffs at it delicately and seems pleased. I lean forward and place the rose behind her ear...she leans her cheek into my hand as i pull it back from placing the rose.

My heart is dancing with joy! The night goes as well as I could hope. I symbolically offer her my arm and she accepts, briefly interlocking hers with mine before untangling ourselves in order to walk. I lead her to the spot where I have spread out a blanket and cushions for her to enjoy a small feast. I feed her small bites of one delicacy after another with my own hand until she has had her fill.

Afterward, I take a chance and gently lean against her as we silently watch the stars and moon. I feel her tail snake around me and she gently tickles my chin with it, I am nearly overcome with joy! I turn toward her and she turns her head toward me...I can see the invitation in her eyes. I lean forward and, at long last, our lips meet! My eyes close, I feel as if I am floating.

Suddenly I feel as if I have taken flight. My eyes fly wide open in shock..a pair of giant pink arms have grabbed me and lifted me high! Nooooo!! Not now!!!! I try to force them to release me but they do not budge! Curse the accident that left me toothless!!

Pinkie says "See Rarity, two left ear flops followed by an itchy right front knee means missing pets to be found at the Ponyville Park. Aww, look, Gummy missed me so much he is giving my hoof kisses all over."

"I'm not entirely convinced those are friendly kisses Pinkie, based on how we found the two of them"

"Sure they are, Gummy loves me lots. I need to get him back to Sugarcube Corner though...see you tomorrow at the Anniversary Party!"

I never said it was a Spike/Rarity story.....

I was thinking of leaving it like that, but then i came up with an actual epilogue i could live with...

Rarity lifts Opalescence onto her back with a flick of magic. "It would seem as if you have a soft spot for Gummy dear Opal. Hmmm, ponies do say that pets and owners take on similar traits the longer they are together."

Rarity raises her voice. "Spike! We found her! Over here."

Spike walks up moments later. "There you are Opal, you had your momma quite worried about you." Turning to Rarity he says "What do you think she was doing way out here?"

"She was out here with Gummy, apparently having a picnic. Do you recognize the spot Spike?"

"Hmmm, there is something about..Oh! This is the spot I brought you for a picnic the night we shared our first kiss!"

"Yes, and apparently history has repeated itself for Opal. Can you see how happy she looks?"

Spike leans in to give her a loving nuzzle. "Hard to believe we've been married for eight years come tomorrow."

"Do you ever regret it Spike?"

"What!!?"

"I don't mean us.. I mean do you ever regret getting hit with that wild spell that aged you 100 years in the Griffon Wars?"

"I would have gladly given up a thousand years of life to spend this time together my Lady Rarity. Of course if i were another 900 years older you would have had to put in much bigger doors at the boutique."

Rarity laughs. "You are always such the charmer my love, more so because I know you mean every word of that statement. Lets go home, Auntie Fluttershy is babysitting the kids tonight.. we can have our own private Anniversary party before the one Pinkie is throwing tomorrow. I will put on a fashion show for you, I made a copy of the latest design from the Frederick's of Hollyhoof catalogue."

"The red one?"

"Of course, I know ruby is your favorite."

Fantastic! Simply fantastic! You got me good

here is the start of what looks like a pretty good story

Laziness is not a choice if you have an depression or a thyroid dysfunction or realized that nothing matters anyway.

At the risk of coming off as a jerk butting into your personal life uninvited, it's still a choice to give up and surrender any hope of changing yourself. I'm not going to pretend that "oh you're depressed? Just stop being sad LOL" is a solution but don't pretend there aren't steps you can take to get over your limits.

The third one just rubs me the wrong way. Why do you care if what you do "matters?" To who? Go find happiness in the things you do anyway. Readjust your attitude and stop being so defeatist. That's hard, but if you can do it you'll be a happier person.

...oh, well, sorry then. I've heard that argument for real from other people so perhaps my Internet Sarcasm Detector wasn't properly tuned.

People talking about their depression giving them a hard time, or making their day miserable, or about how they're struggling to overcome it gets hugs, sympathy and words of encouragement from me.

Whining about how you're not going to try because it's too hard gets a swift verbal kick in the plot instead

Well I was kidding, rather sarcastic, though.
But fun fact: [spoilered for darkness, seriously, it's not pony thread appropriate]

A positive attitude and the will to work on yourself in a depression is the sure way to hell. If your body sends you the hormone for sadness there isn't much you can do, except happy pills. It's like trying to get up early and be active with a jetlag. Your mind says yes, but your body says no, simply because there's the wrong mix of hormones in your blood. So whenever you try to be happy when you're down you will inevitably fail, leading to a death spiral of guilt and feeling of inferiority. And as long as you assume the failure is in you - or rather: you are the failure - you won't seek help or look for the actual cause. And then - well there's a reason why I called it a 'death' spiral.

Or, to say it with Rarity, I'm so pathetic

I have no problem with using antidepressants to manage your hormone levels/brain chemistry, although I would suggest trying other, more easily reversible methods for tweaking your hormone production, like exercise.

Whether or not anti-depressants are effective at treating depression is a whole 'nother topic that, frankly, I don't know enough about to meaningfully participate in.

But I am opposed to wallowing in misery rather than attempting SOME solution to a chronic problem.

But this discussion is insufficiently pony so let's conclude with a neat pic from memebase.

So, pony thread. A bit of help please.

This guy, Mike the Microphone, known for doing pony raps and featuring on the Pony Swag Megamix, is doing dramatic readings of pony fanfiction. Now, fanfiction is something I've been emphatically uninterested in for the longest time. However, I do like listening to his sexy voice, so I was wondering if you could recommend any of them as being particularly good? I wouldn't mind them being funny either.

FYI, he has done Cupcakes. I do know about Cupcakes. I will not listen to Cupcakes.
