Sweetie Bell does not know how to play Magic

These two are really good. I love the CMC classes, and for the Magic:The Gathering picture, I think the joke's on Rarity. She may be laughing now, but when she realizes Sweetie is playing straight red burn against her mono-black control deck, it's not going to go well.

And yet if I die in my house, and my cats are starving, they have my blessing.

The official punctuation for stanza breaks or whatnot in te English language is an arbitrary slash. No space. Often Italics but not always. For example;

Dragon riders must fly/ when thread is in the sky

Though my mental phonation of a slash is such that it actively hinders the flow f the rhyme. *shrug*

It was always all about twilight's inner power.

I read that, personally, as Twilight competing for a scholarship by demonstrating her aptitude.

I have to imagine that you don't get a Princess to foalsit your daughter unless your family is fairly high up the social food chain (no matter how much of a crush said Princess may or may not have on your son).

Cadence (Kay - dense, not Can - diss, just because I've seen it and it bugs me) is quite possibly ruler of a fallen kingdom. She would be at that point a nopony, at least until her fortune is reestablished.

"The necessary calculations have been made. The only way up is from the back of the Ponyville Express... At around 3 o'clock tomorrow. I have scraped together the funds and investing. There are notes in the shed. Will you be able to follow them?

Vivid green eyes roll brightly at the question. "Seriously? Look, you just focus on getting your dainty hooves up there, I'll handle the rest. And we both know if it can be built, I'm your colt."

She frowns at the seeming overconfidence, but can't really argue. "I guess you are right... Let's head out. Big day tomorrow..."

Both grin, leaning into some unseen center frame. "Know what I'm thinkin'?"

Bring over some quotes from last thread...

That said, I wonder, what is everyone's favorite breakfast food here? That, and what do you consider breakfast food?

For example:


I have never heard of muffins as a breakfast food. I always thought they were a snack for "when you have several minutes and are too lazy to cook something", basically like a donut, just less likely to have filling.

I eat cereal for breakfast. If I'm feeling adventurous, I might have porridge with some syrup or jam. That's about it. I don't really want anything else that early in the morning.

If I wake up late my breakfast may just consist of oaty biscuits dunked in a cup of tea.

She also disregards Fluttershy's feelings and obvious discomfort in favour of pushing her in front of more cameras. At best you could say that she's oblivious to Fluttershy's plight.

Simple. Once someone is dead I consider their body to be nothing but a sack of meat. It holds no reverence or horror for me. There are absolutely no exceptions to this. It's why I don't really care what happens to my body after my death.

Or to put it another way once you've died your body isn't you anymore then a tombstone is you.

Agreedo. Honestly I don't see why it would be disrespectful to eat a dead person to stay alive; if I died of cold and hunger I would hope my starving companions would at least give my death meaning by staying alive. Their memories of me are more me then the body is, that's for sure.

I can see how. I imagine most people would pronounce the slash as either "slash" or "or" or something.

Well, the one I read had

Spoiler

Poor Fluffy pony being raped and killed by Twilight.

I think it was the original story that launched the whole meme of Fluffy pony abuse. It was pretty silly, but also very, very wrong. I just shook my head and moved on, but apparently it catched on, because now Derpibooru has several dedicated tags that are all filtered out by default. And they are apparently very popular tags.

I don't mind sexy ponies, and I don't mind ... rough sexy ponies (or is that roughly sexy ponies?), but I'm not a fan of outright abuse.

This. I find it very unpleasant to contemplate eating another human, it's sort of built in and a good thing, because we don't want people killing each other when they get a little hungry, but I would have to concede that there's nothing actually wrong in any way about eating a dead person in a life or death situation.

In spoken language it's unpronounced. In written its like splicing sound clips together. The next sentence starts at full breath before the last one draws that Breath in.

1) ignoring the wishes of the deceased just because you're hungry? Why makes you so special? that's like stealing from mom's purse because you know he doesn't want you to, but she's at work and you want that new video game now.
2) permanent, irreversible nerve and brain damage you can only et from eating your own species, or eating a cow that has eaten other cows who have eaten other cows.


Any elaboration on 1 will edge into religion though, so I have to rely on Prion Disease scare tactics.

As someone who stumbled improperly acrossed it... My advice is don't. I didn't find anything valuable in it, IMO it reads like someone imbuing a fictional character with their own power trip.

1) I shall not get into the no-no topics
2) I think, if I was in a situation where my death is pretty much assured if I do nothing, I wouldn't worry about maybe, just possibly dying later. Because, you know, we all die sooner or later.

Originally Posted by Sweetie Welf

I couldn't find the story again. Go look up mixermike622 on dA, and look at his Valentine's Day animation if you're really curious. I could have sworn it had the link to the story in the description, but maybe dA's rules made him remove that. I don't know.

Anyway, the story is silly, awful and not any good. It even got the gender of Fluffy pony wrong, IIRC.

This is so, so wrong. I mean, really wrong. Why in the sweet name of Celestia would you not make enough lasagna to stuff yourself in the evening, leave it overnight and then stuff yourself twice more the next day!?

1) Well, that depends on the particular situation. Life-or-death? I'm chowing down, no moral regrets (my ability to actually stomach the stuff due to cultural and biological conditioning is another matter entirely!). Otherwise? Definitely not worth it. It's rude-to-immoral depending on the exact situation, and then there's...
2) Yeah, this is why cannibalism is very much an emergency thing. All sorts of nasty things to be had from eating human flesh, and mad cow human disease is hardly the worst that can happen.

My headcanon is still that Celestia and Luna are technically horses and not ponies.

You know, it only just now occurred to me that perhaps this is the difference between them and Cadance. Cadance is a pony alicorn, while Celestia and Luna are horse alicorns?

That'd be great. I expect to give it a final reading in a few hours, once I've finished my daily math challenge to myself, but I'd still love to hear what you think of the story in any case.

Princess Cadence may have been down on her luck at the time, but she was still Princess Celestia's niece. There's a limit to how far she could fall down the Canterlot pecking order.

I should point out that I cannot be considered even remotely "good" at drawing humans, and have only a cursory familiarity with how Genghis Khan actually looks.
