Probably Stuck Between Dimensions
(Yes, I know this place is back. No, I don't plan on returning; I just don't fit in with the whole "4chan vibe", as I heard it described recently. Anyway, if anyone wants to keep in touch, catch TryshaGray on Twitter. Otherwise, have fun, and keep it pony.)
Not all ponies miss out on all that Princess Luna has put together for her show after she brings out the moon! Me? I do some of my best work and spell-weaving when the stars come out. Besides, I tend to be the sort to keep to myself, a lot of the time. Lately, I've found I'm a lot more of a "Twilight Sparkle" person, though some still say I have a very "Fluttershy" personality, right down to being more likely to talk to your critter companions than you, at first. It takes me a little while, but if I don't get too badly spooked, I'll open up. And if you see me suddenly pop out of a moon portal, or catch my eye hovering in the sky as I try to find someone or something I've lost again . . . sorry about that. I really try not to startle people too much with this stuff. It's just so cool, though!

@fluttershy321 I don't know about ALWAYS ignoring him, as he does have his good moments, and he's not a complete jerk. But, given his history of instability, it's worth doing so situationally, when he starts having his overbearing and obnoxious moments. As for me being nice, that's open to debate, but I do try. Thanks. :)
-
@communistprime Ha! That it is. Somewhere along the line, I picked up a bunch of (thankfully mostly clean) British slang and started using it regularly. And that one IS particularly fun to say, and nicely replaces a few more vulgar colorful metaphors. :)
-
@fluttershy321 Ignore him. He's just being a git.
-
@eurobeatbrony It doesn't sound like Daniel Ingram really has a lot of say in the matter. But, yes, he made note of it on his Facebook as well. Sounds like a lot of people are getting annoyed, and trying to stay hopeful for the remaining episodes to make up for it.
-
@scribus They should have put some ponies in there somehow. *nod*
-
@communistprime Beware! They may have been artificially enhanced with chaotic chocolate rain!
-
@ceruleanspark Sorry, just doing what I do best: LECTURE YOU! ;) But, yes, as long as you maintain a healthy paranoia, it should be fine. :)
-
@ceruleanspark Oh, I didn't figure that you were. Just that a dependence upon using those things can grow on even the most disciplined and well-intentioned people, and even small purchases can add up quickly on those things. As long as you stick to that plan, though, you should be fine. Sorry, I just have a huge aversion to those things now.
-
@moonprincess No drowning, please.
-
@ceruleanspark Yes, it sort of like asking for a loan from the mob: they're more than happy to loan you the money, and have everything rigged in their favor as they hope you will fail to pay it back.
-
@pawnheart Ohhh, yummy curry! Heed that call! :9 Stay well, and enjoy!
-
@scribus Know that feeling all too well. Good luck!
-
@musicssound Ha! Yes, one of the possible Latin translations of "ad" is "at", and I think one of the possible origins of the ampersat is a Latin abbreviation for "ad". So, yes, it works. ;)
-
@pinhooves Ohhh, that DOES sound like good stuff. :) Sounds like when I go to the grocery, though, just going for one or two essentials, and coming back with two or three full bags of stuff. (Yes, I do make sure never to go to the grocery hungry.) And there's just something about rainbows that are just so cheery. :) I know it's not that way for everyone, but they always brighten my day and make me feel better about things.
-
@pinhooves Yay for rainbows! I always love to see them; Rainbow Dash just gave me more reason to. :) Anyway, been a rough day, but I'm managing through, and will be going home shortly. Go, me. :) And how are you doing? Get some good, yummy stuff there at the grocery? :)
-
@verybritishrarity EEK! Awww, that really IS #TheWorstPossibleTHING ! I'm so sorry to hear that. :( I hope that you're able to remember most of it, so you can recreate it as quickly as possible (assuming you don't stumble across a secret save file someplace that manages to recover everything, which would be truly awesome).
-
@verybritishrarity I so look forward to it! And a wire frame probably would be the best approach. I'd love to see something put together like a long wig fashioned into a mane, but assuming you didn't damage it through redesigning the crown, the dye job and HairNetting the heck out of it, it would be such a pain to maintain, and turn into an unruly mess within a year or two. *pout* Anyway, I sure hope that some brony eyes are caught, when you do get this together. Of course, after seeing it, perhaps you'll convert a few new bronies out there, hm? :)
-
@ceruleanspark Maybe that's the pony who has a thing for Italian money? Oh, wait, that's Lira. Perhaps she's that pony who's into astronomy, and named after a constellation, then? Though, if she is, she's a little brightly-colored. Most of us astronomy sorts seem to be dark colors, consistent with a night sky. So, probably not that, either. Hmmm. No idea, sorry!
-
@ceruleanspark Mmm, no, they'll just selectively ignore it, much like how most people still call Dipsy "Derpy". (Though I still am not particularly fond of either name, personally.) Denial: it runs deep in Egypt and fandoms.
-
@ceruleanspark Hello, Cerulean! I got about three more hours, and no more unsettling dreams, so well enough. Didn't want to wake up this morning, but I kind of feel like that most mornings. :p Anyway, I hope that you're holding up all right, there. :)
-
@shydash Never jinx yourself by wondering that. Best to always assume that, yes, it most certainly can.
-
@verybritishrarity Oh, it is yummy! I'm no Applejack nor Pinkie Pie, but I manage well enough. ;) I'd love to hear how it comes out for you, if you decide to bake some up! As for the hoodies, the Spike hoodie sounds like it will be fun to put together, but you have me especially curious about the Rarity one, for that very reason. I hope that you can find a way to suitably reproduce or stylize her stylishly swoopy mane! And being fabulous is much better with friends, but if there aren't any about, if anyone can pull off being fabulous enough for a group all by one's lonesome, I'm certain that you can. ;) Still, I do hope some turn up, all the same!
-
@pawnheart Thank you, very much! I slept better for the rest of the night, though I didn't really want to wake up this morning as a result of the earlier restlessness, and nearly overslept. Eep! Mornings have never been kind to me. Always been a child of Luna. Anyway, got myself moving just in time, have my coffee -- mmm, pumpkin spice latte today -- and I'm getting up to speed for my day here! I hope that your day went well, there. :)
-
@ceruleanspark Oh, it's all right. Just wish things were better for you, there. Stay well, and talk more soon. :)
-
@pawnheart Good morning. Or afternoon, there? But, yes, need to get back to bed, so I can wake back up in three hours. Otherwise, would love to stay up and try to liven and cheer things up a little. And, by the way, as for talking to yourself, I've found that doing such is the best way to ensure that someone might understand what I'm talking about. But not always. (*blink*) I don't know if that makes sense, but ... Yeah, I'm half-asleep already. See everyone tomorrow, most likely.
-
@ceruleanspark Woke up from an odd dream that I barely remember, but felt very unpleasant. Still tired. Need to roll over and get back to sleep. Peeked on here, among a few other sites I watch for news on. (Yay, Touchpad.) Only meant to see what was going on and stuff, while I shake the vibe from that dream. Saw this note, though. I hope you're just venting frustration, and don't really mean that, but on the off-chance I'm wrong... #hug. Don't. I know you're frustrated beyond words, but just don't. Please?
-
Time to drive for a while. Likely back later on. Stay well, all, and keep it Pony. :)
-
@moonprincess Good, and fair enough. :)
-
@moonprincess Mmm. Well, heck. I'll hope that time changes that for you, then. It has a way of doing that. As for Carcino, yes, I did. I'm sorry if that offends, as I recall that you two are close.
-
@moonprincess Mmm. And for all the nights?
