My Little Pony XXXIV: There is Pony of it, no exceptions!

[Vorpalbob]

Omygosh omygosh omygosh it's been WAY too long since I posted and I was thinking recently have I posted? but then I realized I hadn't and so I looked at the thread and it was like HUUUUUUUGE so I thought I'm going to READ IT ALL but then I didn't and I felt bad and I wondered would it be rude to post without reading? maybe but there's a lot to read and maybe if I prooooomise to keep up in the future ponies might not get toooo mad at me. Please don't get mad?

So here I am.

I return.

I'll try to keep up from now on. :P

So! As my Winter Solstice gift from my mother (from last year ) I recieved one of my dream guitars: A Gibson SG. None of that Epiphone Scheiße. The real deal, baby! I had a few ideas bouncing around in my head for names, but it wasn't until I played that first, amazing, distorted chord that I knew.

His name is Flashpoint.

We went to a brony meetup on the 18th, and did a little jamming with some ponies there. In this video, you can see us in the back from about 1:45 on. He is amazing. After the new year we'll be hosting a pony-themed jam session, which should be much fun.

Hey! Any of you crazy ponyfolk in the Seattle area? I'll be down there Sunday the 8th, for a little event at a comic book store. If any of you can make it, make yourself known to the gangly Canadian with the fedora and guitar case. I jump at any opportunity to visit vaguely foreign cities, and chill with over-there bronies.

It's good to be back. Vorpalbob out!

[Raz_Fox]

Upon the bridge once was a pony fair
But now was newly gone
No sign at all of her fiery hair

She was gone, into air
In the fog of London dawn
Ah, wasn't she once so fair?

The demon yet waits in his lair
Waiting for her return
And dreaming of her fiery hair

A gryphon tilts her head in prayer
Down amidst the white-feather swans
In her absence, they are not as fair

The water closed over the unlucky mare
As downwards she was drawn
Surrounded by her fiery hair

As she sank below she wondered if she did err
As she began to pray for the touch of Amon
But, she thought, this must be fair
I am just a liar with fiery hair.

Oh. Oh.

It is on now.

The fox found himself caught
In his own dreams, and said, "I ought
To catch my flame-haired dear
So I'll find my way out of here-"
When who should he see: why,
A pegasus with mane of sky
And pelt of whitest snow
Wrapped in a cloak of silver glow
She turned her fair head to
Face the red-coated young fox who
Was enraptured by her
And said, "Oh, Raz, dirty's your fur.
Don't you recall why you
Took to the sky? Into the blue
You cast yourself, laughing
And free. Now yourself you are chaining."
She shook her head, so sad.
"Redemption, my Raz, can be had-
Three spirits I'll send here
To free you from yourself." Then fear
Struck the fox, and he cried-
She was then gone. He said, "She lied."

The fox smiles.
"Starry! How have you been?"
The two regard each other now.
Silence.

A frown.
"You've branched out now?"
"Whatever could you mean?"
"You're no guildsman. Good for you," says
The pony.

Raz says,
"Treasurer," bows.
"Still. And hunting the fair."
Bitter laugh. "Settle down with your
Harem."

A frown.
"Not ever like that."
"Stop fooling yourself." He
Replies. "You know why you took them."
Accusation.

"I loved..."
Silence. A sigh.
"Beauty. Not mares. Silk and..."
"You couldn't fool old Starry." He

A glare.
"No. I was ever
The perfect gentletod."
"And yet you kidnapped and bound them."
Silence.

"You liked
It when they tried
To struggle in your paws.
When you gagged them with silk and bound
Their hooves."

"I was...
I thought it pretty.
Nothing more. Inari
Blind my eyes, nothing more!" The fox
Swayed.

"Well, then.
I'm sure she'll agree-
Whoever the pony
Be - that you have right to beauty."
A lie?

Then, softly-
"Good day to you."
"Good day, my treasurer.
Maybe one day, I'll audit you."
They part.

I'll do my best to make you see
The future of a gilded trap
While down this lonely road you tap

Then lie so death-cold in your lap

Lonely you'll sit in carven tree
In cold dead wealth your treasure - we
Will all have fled to the black gap
Between our worlds with stolen map
Nevermore to give beauty free

This is what I was afraid of.

Okay, so occasionally, I'm wrong. I'll admit it.

Celestia help us.

Please. Celestia is the last person you want to trust with bondage. She made poor Luna wait a thousand years just because she forgot the safe word. Or, depending on which perversion of the traditional myth you're hearing, made the safe word "Raxacoricofallapatorius" and then gagged Luna.

Hypothetical Bondage:

"What would your reaction be, hypothetically, if I cracked this whip and said that you'd been a very naughty boy?"
"Probably fear mixed with arousal?"
"Huh. Good to know. Tea?"
"Quite."

But the joke is that it's hypothetical tea.

Ponythread: Come for the ponies stay for the poetry and existential philosophy.

I thought that it was 'stay for RAZ_FOX, creator of all that is awesome, and his uglier, less romantically-fortunate sidekick who occasionally does something, Thanqol.'

it has been explained already, but; no. It hasn't just recently cropped up, though it has had a resurgence of sorts. If the pile of business cards outside of the non-hypothetical hangar are any indication, Raz_Fox, then Candlejack went to Abductor's Anonymous and got help. now, he wanders by and invites folks to tea. It's no longer compulsory attendance though, unless he's slipping.

Look, SiuiS, I don't know what you're talking about. Business cards, airship hangars, Abductors Anonymous? I became Treasurer of the Guild so that I wouldn't have to bother with all that craziness. Just numbers which are easily moved about-

Habit?
Business cards right outside your door, mate. People care man, they want to help.

SiuiS. Really. There is no problem. I am over here being perfectly peaceful with a few vixenfriends of mine who come over every now and then so I can help them with their PurrsiaCon costumes. There is nothing requiring help of any sort or kind-

Poor bloke. To be fair though, it happens to all of 'sm sooner or later, unless they get help, Raz_Fox.

I CAN QUIT WHENEVER I WANT.

Yes.
Though please, I ask of you all to stop usin happy ending like a proper noun. Given my line of work (knock on wood) it is discongruent with the way the conversation is supposed to flow.

"There are no happy endings, because nothing ever ends."

Thank you. It was a personal thing, an intimate act performed unknowingly in public. To find that I had ended up typing it out on a forum left me feeling rathe chagrined. Luckily, it's gone well.

Part of me really hopes you're being metaphorical, because how do you not notice that you've just written something like that into a forum post?

I cannot help but hear religious tones when you say conductor. Intriguing, that.
On life and death, stasis and change; is it not the pause between notes which separates music from noise? Waves go up and down for a reason. Even friendships wax and wane, and in this way remain strong and constant. While any note may wish to shine, the whole is better when in harmony

Your ears are quite good today, old friend.

They are tears of THRIFT!

Marvellous

The priest, his taste for fancy wordplay forgotten in the shock of the flame haired mare disappearing under the murky water, does the only sensible thing; diving in after her! Oh, the water's cold and the robe's heavy, but not that cold and not that heavy! "Hold one! Wait a moment! I'll help!" These are the words that would have undoubtedly passed his lips if he wasn't underwater at the moment.

Should I stay up past the point of midnight, the moment when eleven flows into twelve, twelve flows into zero, and zero flows into twelve, using all the inspiration in this summer night and the fireworks across the skies, draining the mana from the ancient Mayan calander's prophecy of doom to fuel my response - I might, might, equal this thought.

And I fully intend to. It is indeed on. Please hold for response.

Okay, so occasionally, I'm wrong. I'll admit it.

Quoted just for repetition.

When Luna finally reconfigured the surface of the moon to show the word 'Raxacoricofallapatorius' in letters so large they were visible from the Earth, Celestia ended her banishment without hesitation and acted like everything was entirely normal afterwards.

Luna hasn't had the courage to bring it up.

I thought that it was 'stay for RAZ_FOX, creator of all that is awesome, and his uglier, less romantically-fortunate sidekick who occasionally does something, Thanqol.'

I'm your sidekick in the same way that Kiff is Zapp Brannigan's sidekick.

In case anypony has been wondering what I've been up to my life has become this:

Life has been so good this vacation.

[grimbold]

you know you're a brony when: you have dreams where you interact with the mane 6 in equestria, also, in said dream you ask fluttershy's hoof in marraige

i have weird dreams...

[Welf]

Live is what we do - but we do more than live. When you curse, you're echoing a million sailors going back through history. When you slow down on a dangerous intersection you're acknowledging the unfortunates who died there. When you read a book you taste the actions of the author and every author who inspired that author, every conversation which he had, and which those people had.

If life is action, then action continues long after you've stopped. Which makes it all the more important that we try to produce the right actions.

This is an incredibly difficult position to articulate because it's so counter-intuitive. I've had this discussion before, against almost that exact phrasing (against a Moros).

Our actions top when we die. We produce results and give others guidelines. But they decide what they do with it. I may echo a million sailors when I curse, but it's my decision, my doing, to curse. My actions influence what others do, but I can't control it. If I go on a murderous rampage it may inspire others go on murderous rampages, too. Or it may inspire them to work for peace. Or have no effect at all. What happens depends on the individual. The only thing I can surely and directly affect is myself. And that ends with my death.

I'm not entirely sure what I wanted to say. I guess I need to think more regularly to train the clearness of my thought. But since I'm on a tangent anyway...

You might look into the basic ideas of Buddhism (disclaimer: I only have superficial knowledge of Buddhism, so please correct me if I'm wrong). They combine your idea of everlasting actions with the idea of mortality. One of the basic principles is that there is nothing immortal. So there is no transfer of souls, but the action of one individual determine the faith of his successor, his reincarnation.

Ponythread: Come for the ponies stay for the poetry and existential philosophy.

To quote a well-known mathematician: Eyup.

We aim to please!

And by "please" I of course mean "kill with extreme precision" because shooting accuracy is held to a very high standard in the Aotrs. 'Cos we're professionals and all that.

Yeah, that's what it said.

it has been explained already, but; no. It hasn't just recently cropped up, though it has had a resurgence of sorts. If the pile of business cards outside of the non-hypothetical hangar are any indication, Raz_Fox, then Candlejack went to Abductor's Anonymous and got help. now, he wanders by and invites folks to tea. It's no longer compulsory attendance though, unless he's slipping.

Though I will admit the urge to mention Candlejack and then leave an entire quote post undone has been quite strong at time

Okay, leaving a complete megaquotepost undone would be funny again.

Hrm, although it's probably way outside the point, the science pony in me won't shut up until I point out that the spectral signature of what we would usually call noise (especially white noise) is quite different from what we would usually call music...

Anyway, that's beside the point and everyone may be well aware of it without me pointing it out, but since I had to learn how to do Fourier integrals at one point in my education, I might as well get something out of the experience, consarn it...

Fun Fact: There has been actually an movement who wanted to replace music with noises. (I think futurism). I remember a quote from music education about how people in the future (now) would enjoy the sound of a train like they would enjoy an opera today (around 1900).

Today is new years eve, and as I'm about to depart, I'll give my final thoughts a touch early.

I've always liked New Years. It's a good holiday. No strings attached; just a chance for joy. Midsummer nights so hot you can't sleep; dancing in the harbour and fireworks over the bridge. A celebration; an achievement for the world. It's a good day.

2011 has been a pretty good year. One of the best, I reckon.

Since 2012 already started in Australia, how is it? Could you give us a warning if it sucked?
For me 2011 has been a year of mortality. I noticed that I'm half as old as my mother, and around one third as my grandmother. My youngest uncle had been mistaken for my brother seven years ago, now he is greying and has back problems. The beginning of my life is over, now it's getting serious. Time is running out. Whatever I want to do, I have to do it now. Only 50 or 60 years left.

I have no harem addiction. I can quit whenever I waaaaant. Isn't that right, girls?

...no, I don't need to go get help! I'm fine!

Seems to be a general consensus on EqD comments that the last word is "characters"

I think my solution is "more from evil characters"

I don't know..."more from evil characters" just doesn't sound quite right. I'm more in favor of "song" being the first word, but that's just me.

For those of you keeping track, if the stars in my head perfectly align, I may have the rough draft of Chapter 1 of the fanfic I've been working on/hashing out for a few months now done in the next day or so. Hooves crossed!

If we're getting a villain song at last it will be So Awesome!

A happy new year to you all! May the new one bring even more pony into your pony starved lives!

I'm thinking of maybe spending my evening with a pony marathon. I've always wanted to do that. Hope you have lots of fun whatever you do.

Also, before I leave, I'm running a couple of polls for the end of the year. Just opened up the last one. I'm thinking I may turn the four winners into a picture of some kind, so go vote.

Best Pony 2011
Best Ruler of Equestria 2011
Best Pet 2011
Best Young Pony 2011

Because the world is a cold and evil place.

Just as planned.
But did she say yes?

I just realized something about the coded message:
In Italy, the episodes are split into two separate broadcasts, so it is possible she is talking about episodes 13-14. Hopefully not, but it is a possibility.
