  1. Sorry about having a game controller cutie mark :( It's been bothering me since someone made that post earlier. I could only imagine how many hundreds of those you all must have gone though. And I didn't realize it at the time because I imagine that if all my friends and coworkers were characters in the show, we'd probably all have some sort of gaming related cutie mark, and it wouldn't bother me in the slightest. Of course, such a scene would never fit in the show proper, but that's why we're not characters in it. I've never done any MLP fan fiction, or read any for that matter, so I never got the chance to go through all the lazy OC self-insertion gaming-ponies that get involved in a "The Wizard" style gaming tournament in Ponyville and save the day with their amazing video game powers. I shudder at the very thought of such a fic. Yeah, that was random, but I just wanted to apologize for ending up with yet another game controller cutie mark after all this time.

    1. @clash Yeah, I didn't really want to be rude at the time, but those are kind of really dumb. Glad you at least came to terms and realized that for yourself.

      1. @abigpony I'm just glad I could pick a name that wasn't disastrous. How bad did names tend to get?

        1. @clash A quick look at anywhere in the fandom and you can see that.

          1. @abigpony @abigpony perhaps, but right now everything just looks so new to me that I'm still aghast in wonder. Everything looks better than what I've brought to the table. Perhaps I just need to wait until this experience just 'normalizes' for me

            1. @clash YOu're pretty much aces in my book if you pass [i]past sins[/i] tier.

              1. @anarchycarcino thanks. I'll google that, and I'll keep it in mind for the future.

            2. @clash Eh. Honestly, your OC has crazy mad contrast between the body and mane colors, but otherwise I guess it's not THAT bad. As long as we're being honest here, using alot of RDN OCs as guides on how to make OCs isn't necessarily the best to do.

              1. @abigpony I was going for a pale yellow, since a saturated one would be hard on the eyes, and a dark yellow, well, that would be brown. And a shade of indigo for a complimentary colour, since my hair is dark, long, and wavy, and blue compliments yellow unless I'm mistaken.

                1. @clash It's the shades that cause the cray cray contrast

              2. @abigpony I'll keep your advice in mind. I don't think I'll be making more OCs. Just this as an avatar for meetups and online activities.

                1. @clash Yeah, go ahead, do whatever with it.
