okay video games didn't last long, gonna read fanfics, any suggestions?
Wednesday, 10-Aug-11 04:28:58 UTC from web-
@bassdriver ...I blame you.
-
@bassdriver The Ballad of Twilight Sparkle was a LOT of fun to read. Any preference here on a genre of story though?
-
@mrbrown That fanfic was so over the top with the violence I couldn't help but laugh
-
@mrbrown I have something in the works. One word: nihilism.
-
@haganbmj @mrn4rmn4rm @bassdriver I'm not keen on the Grimdark ones, and the ones set several years in the future where they're all estranged bother me a lot.
-
@thetundraterror is that a title or am i really being blamed for something?
-
@mrbrown 3rd time read it
-
@bassdriver Sorry, thought we'd end up with a wave of Past Sins
-
@haganbmj I'll read anything
-
@mrn4rmn4rm read them both too
-
@mrn4rmn4rm I thought of it as Rob Liefeld makes a Loony Tunes short.
-
@artrageous I haven't read any yet, every time I go to find one, I see the summery of one of those kind of fics and just lose interest in fanfics in general. Something about a few of the grimdarks can really dampen your mood fast.
-
@bassdriver Ballad of Twilight Sparkle, Always Sunny In Fillydelphia, and Black and White are some of my favorites. They all contain some level of shipping though - so that's a consideration. I actually just wrote up a list of the stuff I've read on the fourms ~ http://www.forums.rainbowdash.com/index.php?topic=68.msg1776#msg1776
-
@haganbmj "Always Sunny In Fillydelphia" The name alone makes it good
-
@thetundraterror you mean that fic with nyx? Im sure its a good read but it doesnt exactly capture my interest
-
@bassdriver There were comments about it for almost five minutes.
-
@bassdriver Past Sins is brilliantly written. It's more of a general story than anything else, dealing with self-discovery and that sort of theme.
-
@artrageous I like the gridmark ones, but I tend to stay away from crossovers and futuristic ones
-
@mrbrown WHY? Back when I first was discovering ponies that nearly scared me away for good. That actually might have something to do with my distaste for fanfics. Any recommendations for ones that are well written and more of the lighter, funnier route?
-
@queenstarlightbolt Oh yeah. It was a very fun read. A one shot story too which I liked.
-
@eaglehooves Lighter and funnier? If you have the same kind of sense of humor I have, I could point you toward "Hey, Let's Mutilate Rainbow Dash!" It's short, though, as in 300 Word Event length.
-
@haganbmj How could any of the ponies fit any of those characters though XD
-
@bassdriver I don't know. Something about putting those characters is grimdark stories; it pulls on two different spectrums and leaves me in a no mans land.
-
@haganbmj Nice summaries, and hmmm. I recognize that fox!
-
@queenstarlightbolt It's not particularly related to Sunny in Philly to be honest :P ~ I think the name just worked well haha
-
@artrageous lol, you know the DeviantART artist? I absolutely love his work.
-
@haganbmj darn I just lost all interest
-
@haganbmj I think I know him via furaffinity, but yes.
-
@queenstarlightbolt And you say we have ADD?
-
@mrbrown Oh boy! Only a few more until I evolve into RedMexicanDinner!
-
@artrageous Ahh, I don't use the site myself. So DA is my only ties to Skia as they're (she?) known on DA.
-
@haganbmj Yes neither of you could even concentrate long enough to play a board game... you would zone out and drool on yourself, and she would start making the army men have sex with eachother DX
-
@queenstarlightbolt but that's how Russia acquires troops in Axis and Allies? (and at least I didn't leave the table at Edwin's :P) ~ By the way I'm talking to Mike about Richmond. I'll let you know the details when you get back later.
-
@haganbmj its not too sappy is it?
-
@thetundraterror sorry failed to understand what you said, what?
-
@queenstarlightbolt *seen out of context* whoa WHAT.
-
@bassdriver I wouldn't say so. It's heartfelt in a few spots - but nothing sappy I'd say. It's no serious ship-fic. It's just a personal conflict, and all that jazz.
-
@haganbmj yes the other two would go play Streetfighter or COD inbetween rounds. I'm not playing board games with you guys anymore no matter how much you ask XD
-
@queenstarlightbolt >Implying we'll ask? ~ Aside from Dominion I'm not sure I want to play more board games xD ~ I certainly enjoy them (when I can understand them - *points at Axis and Allies*)
-
@haganbmj sounds good
-
@haganbmj Here's the FA artist I was thinking of, http://www.furaffinity.net/user/culpeofox/
-
@haganbmj Oh! Have you tried Dominion Online?
-
@artrageous Alright yeah - that's the same artist I was thinking of (and I think the same name) - I must have conjured up the wrong name
-
@haganbmj Hey Brit is constantly asking me to play games with her... And axis and allies is not boring you all were jsut too zoned out to understand what was going on.
-
@bassdriver If you're looking for just a short(ish) read - I'd go with Always Sunny in Fillydelphia. It's an AJ x Soarin light-ship fic. Doesn't really go anywhere, but it's a good retelling of a meeting of the two.
-
@artrageous I have not! But now I want to :O
-
@queenstarlightbolt Well that too. It honestly just had too many numbers floating around. I didn't even bother to try and learn the combat/move/defense stats at all (wasn't worth it).
-
@haganbmj It's at http://dominion.isotropic.org/ I usually play as Johanu there.
-
@haganbmj aj x soarin? thats an odd couple
-
@artrageous Thanks for the link - I'll give it a look in a bit :D
-
@artrageous So I'm browsing through the FA page, and I find the artist I had in mind in the comments (and in their favorites) ~ http://www.furaffinity.net/user/skia/ ~ They have a similar style.
-
@bassdriver Yeah, it's not even a really shippy fic though. It's more just a day in the life of Applejack and Soarin. I enjoyed it a lot, and it made me appreciate Applejack as a character more. (She's my least favorite of the mane 6... though I'm not sure I can say the same still q.q)
-
@haganbmj Wow, you're right, well I'm watching them there. Oh, I've got a FA as well, where I keep my Icon, among other things. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5961245
-
@haganbmj Why were you on FA? Where you looking for some more mtg "duel" land retailers haha
-
@artrageous It would appear that Skia and Culpeo are related or something. Their profiles are certainly linked together. All the same, Giving your page a look. I don't use FA though - so I can't say I'll follow or anything of the sort q.q
-
@queenstarlightbolt lol, have to admit that was pretty awesome.
-
@haganbmj I'd buy cards from that guy if he showed more pics. He seems like a legit dealer.
-
-
@queenstarlightbolt Duel lands in his pants? Pshyeah dood.
-
@bassdriver Aww, Rarity so low? She's one of my favs :P ~ Applejack used to be my bottom, but I think I might have to push Pinkie down a notch... I'm not sure anymore that I can have a #6 - might just be two #5s q.q
-
@haganbmj Coolness. Some of the artists split and have a normal/adult gallery, but usually make it a little harder to tell.
-
@artrageous Yeah - Just looking at the contact between the two it seems they're related in some shape or form (couple is my guess)
-
@artrageous By the way, you have a nice drawing style. Liking the way your comics look.
-
@haganbmj Actually the growing together of a couple's art style is pretty interesting to watch, and that sounds the most likely explanation. I've seen several couples or good friends with highly similar styles.
-
@haganbmj I think I'd probably get more commission that way. I should put my alters in my pants on FA.
-
@queenstarlightbolt HEY YOU.
-
@artrageous yeah, I think it's just cool to see the converging of art.
-
@queenstarlightbolt Damn straight you would. You really just need to get yourself out there. Do some anime chicks on full art lands. Post pics of the cards sticking out from your pants. .... Profit.
-
@haganbmj Naked anime chicks! Can't just be anime chicks.
-
@queenstarlightbolt lol that's the way you sell on ebay.
-
@kingcarcinopony Here's the source image by the way. Something like this.. but with @queenstarlightbolt's alters perhaps? lol http://ur1.ca/4vygi
-
@artrageous What ever you do, If you play with @haganbmj, never give him Barons. He is so GD lucky with them!
-
@queenstarlightbolt Hey. It's a legit strategy. Stock up on Barons and +Actions.
-
@haganbmj This guy has such a good idea! I bet he sold those in seconds! He should have lost the boxers too.
-
@queenstarlightbolt lol, but they add a touch to the photo to actually give a reference location. (plus I wouldn't even touch those cards if not for the boxers)
-
@kingcarcinopony You hear that @queenstarlightbolt? Your king wants some pics of your wares.
-
@haganbmj We each have our own strategies. I like my strategy the best, there were a few times where I was buying provinces in a turn.
-
@queenstarlightbolt Of that I'm aware. Baron's do a lot of work though when you buy a Baron and then use it to stock up on gold to start buying Provinces.
-
@haganbmj eh I think I've posted far to many pictures of myself on the internet as it it XD
-
@queenstarlightbolt Quite quite.
-
@haganbmj Psh don't act like you don't know that the cards you borrow from me have been in my pants.
-
@queenstarlightbolt At least you don't goldfish goblins the way Phil does?
-
@haganbmj What? Naked in the living room when people are over... no but atleast everyone would enjoy it if I did it.
-
@queenstarlightbolt -.- Just make sure to warn me first so I can be in a different room (or building)
-
@haganbmj lol I don't plan on it... I'd charge money for that sort of thing.
-
@haganbmj Thanks! I've been working on the comics, trying to get storytelling down.
-
@queenstarlightbolt Hee! Okay. You've played before then I'm guessing?
-
@queenstarlightbolt Another way to sell your art?
-
@artrageous Yeah, looked like they were well formed from what I read. :D
-
@queenstarlightbolt @haganbmj This conversation is hilarious, just saying.
-
@redenchilada There's a story behind all this. Just saying q.q ~ I swear.. some people have the strangest adventures.
-
@haganbmj well she is a pretty great character, but she seems more secretive than the other mane 6
-
@haganbmj Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure there is...
-
@bassdriver Applejack just didn't really have any defining episodes in season 1 (unlike those that the rest of the cast had). As such she never really caught my attention as more than comedic relief (accent and line wise), and just a general support character. That's the only reason I rank her low.
-
@haganbmj Yet another brilliant idea! Who needs a job!
-
@redenchilada There totally is :o ~ Drunk. Naked. Playtesting Magic the Gathering.
-
@queenstarlightbolt memememe
-
@redenchilada Conversations like this happen on a regular basis. But my phone is broken and this is my only way of communication XD
-
@haganbmj It certainly sounds fun, I guess...?
-
@haganbmj I thought Applebuck Season, where she over-exerts herself was her defining episode.
-
@kingcarcinopony Technically you do. I mean we all live on the same planet.
-
@flutterguy41 semantics!
-
@kingcarcinopony YAY!!!!
-
@kingcarcinopony haha I ment its as who needs a job when I can do that. I do need a job though, since I'm running out of money... but it's hard when this is pretty much my feelings with jobs right now http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/chi/27263319.html
-
@kingcarcinopony I totally was not involved in that situation. Just heard the stories.
-
@redenchilada Totally was not there. Nor do I wish to be.
-
@artrageous Yeah, but it wasn't really even in her character? If you know what I mean there. And the developments in that episode just set her up as hard headed and somewhat closed-minded (which she changes). Didn't do enough for me to build a character that I could see existing in each episode.
-
@haganbmj He is not referring to me btw. He is referring to phil... who has done these things XD
-
@queenstarlightbolt @kingcarcinopony ~ Yeah, that should be made clear. Phil is the one.
-
@queenstarlightbolt well I'm always open <3 you have inspired me to get MASSIVELY hammered on Friday, and then play card games.
-
@haganbmj This reminds me that I need to go with you guys next time you all go downtown. I've missed out on the last few times because of work.
-
@kingcarcinopony EXCELLENT! I look forward to this happening!
-
@queenstarlightbolt Yeah - Well, I mean - not me personally going downtown in that sense - but I get what you mean.
-
@queenstarlightbolt Heh, good job related link.
-
@queenstarlightbolt be there, I like to talk when I'm drunk/mad
-
@haganbmj Hmm, I guess that's true. I did always think of 'stubborn and close minded' as being her character. Essentially earthy and practical, and not so great at knowing or accepting her limits.
-
@artrageous Yeah, that's certainly the impression I got from the episode. But everywhere else she's really just helping here and there and doesn't revert to that same personality again. Personal opinion here at least xD
-
@haganbmj I guess I just like her more cuz I'm from Texas, where a lot of people think we all talk like aj, but we don't. We do do the whole southern hospitality thing (showering twi with apples and apple products), and we have a lot of pride as well, at least where i am.
-
@bassdriver HELLO FELLOW TEXAN
-
@bassdriver Yeah, I'm currently from Georgia and it's much the same down there (on all counts). I don't mind her character at all (not as fond of the accent though xD)
-
@queenterezi evenin' wats new
-
@bassdriver its 2 am, !derp.
-
@haganbmj I did some work in Valdosta.
-
@artrageous I've only been living outside Atlanta for a few months, so I'm not terribly familiar with the state unfortunately q.q
-
@haganbmj rarity is respectable, but my ;ittle inner hipster opposes to her mainstreamness....mainseamstres??
-
@bassdriver lol, I just think she's a nice character xD ~ If you look past the 'girly-girl' or however you want to define it.
-
@derps its 12:52:37:45:82am
-
@haganbmj girly-girl I don't mind, if that was the case shy' would be at the bottom
-
@bassdriver Aww xD
-
@haganbmj all in all though, vinyl is still my top fave
-
@bassdriver Background/Side characters - aww yeah. I gotta say Trixie tops my list as a non-mane 6 character. Octavia is good, Vinyl ranks up there somewhere, Lyra's been moving up the ranks, Spitfire and Soarin of course, OH and Derpy - Always a special place for Derpy.
-
@haganbmj from top to bottom: Vinyl, Gilda, Spitfire, Octy, Derpy, Bon-Bon, Lyra, Zecora, and Colgate. I'm not a fan of colts, but the royal gaurds are pretty cool
-
@bassdriver All right, why Gilda?
-
@bassdriver I'm somewhere along the same lines - I gotta throw Vinyl and Gilda a bit lower though :P ~ All the same, there really isn't a bad character in this show haha
-
@starshine Cuz I admit to reading a sob story about her, and besides her being a griffon, I can relate to her (minus the so-called "violence" and pranks)
-
@haganbmj Blueblood
-
@bassdriver Aww, can't say I like him. Darn xD ~ He did provide some good humor though! (and his character is supposed to be unlikable! I suppose it's a success really?)
-
@haganbmj good point, good point, but as far as purpose of role, I question sweetie bell
-
@bassdriver Yeah - she's the same as Applejack to me. Doesn't really drive the episode, she's just there to support the others.
-
@kingcarcinopony Oh shush, you know you like it. !gutter
-
@haganbmj and how is scurdadur cherilee's sister?
-
@starshine I must say though that Sweetie Belle has one of my favorite color schemes (though, I wouldn't expect anything less from somepony related to Lady Rarity)
-
@kingcarcinopony Pshh
-
@bassdriver lol, which fiction is this from? I haven't heard that one before. ~ Past Sins tells us that Scootaloo is the child of Cloud Kicker and someone else... I'd have to look that up.. But that's the only reference I know.
-
@haganbmj wiki-M.F.-ponia
-
@bassdriver Mmkay, I'll give it a look ~ never knew there was such a link.
-
@haganbmj http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Scootaloo look under trivia
-
@bassdriver I was never aware of the older generations - that's pretty crazy. Doesn't really seem to fit G4 though, but I could still see it xD
-
Could someone explain what in Equetria IS Nightmare Moon? extra points for not saying "embodiment"
-
@mrbrown if you could only feel the sting of a hundred red supernovas upon my forehead from the facehoove you caused......yet I must give you an applause
-
