Pretty good, Nick How about yourself?

I'm part of the Discord chat now so I'll resume my communications there

Aves still seemed to be in a sort of daze as he looked around blinking at his new surroundings. He did not seem to pay much attention to Nick's explanation at first but soon blinked up at him before slowly getting to his feet. The fox's pudginess was all the more evident now as he stood before everyone. He had certainly put on some weight from all the cheesy puffs that he consumed over his long journey into the void.

"How did you guys manage to find me?" he asked finally. "I must've been floating in that weird black void for a long time... speaking of, what year is it now?"

Wow, not a fan of MLP but I gotta love that picture, Aves!   I'm a fan of traditional art and I love your style. Great work! Are you on Deviant Art by any chance?

I have a number of other accounts floating around on there, but they've been long abandoned (and forgotten)

Of course, I don't wish to derail the thread here, so any further comments about my work aughta be PMed

again, cheers!

you know, since I did originally create this thread a few years ago, it prolly wouldnt hurt for me to pop in every now and then and actually post something

Not entirely related to the current conversation but I did want to share this:



Some artwork I've done for the daughter of a friend just recently.

cheers!

so stick around this time aves.

I'll try to had a short little absentee burst there for the past week, sorry bout that

ooc:nope, feel free to join

nice to hear it

back when I stumbled on this place (2007) I was going through some rough times, coping with a terrible break-up. If it wasn't for my search for good nostalgia to cheer me up, I would had never come across the GoF

I say good on you Adam (even though you may never actually read this since lord knows how long you yourself has been away) for creating this delightful little community. And good on you Malte for somehow keeping it alive.

The void seemed endless. Black as the blackest of Coal. Cold as the meat freezer of the Insane Cafe and as boring and endless as an infomercial about ear swabs.

For a while, Aves, the crazy little desert fox found himself trapped on a mysterious tiny ship hurdling through this strange abyss. There wasn't much to eat on this strange voyage aside from an endless supply of stale cheesy puffs and an endless supply of off brand diet soda that literally had no taste. And the only form of entertainment was some old television broadcast (via ancient radio waves floating through space) featuring US President, Nixon endlessly playing catch with some loud obnoxious warty toad named Rush Limbaugh.

Aves was obviously miserable from all this. He did not know how he got on this ship or why he was on it. He remembered being at the Insane Cafe once upon a time, then he blacked out. And then he awoke, finding himself in this odd situation.

The ship itself had no power to it, and therefor could not be controlled. He had no way to radio out for help. Strange, as it was, he had an endless supply of air and food. Where did it all come from? He really stopped wondering after boredom had set in.

Aves heaved a sigh as he glanced out the tiny cockpit window. He had finally muted the small tv monitor after getting tired of the Rush Limbaugh toad ranting and raving about how Nixon was terrible at catching (and then started bashing the referee for being a liberal pixie.)

His mind began wondering about the void, as it had done many a time. Just what was the meaning of all this?

Suddenly, something caught his eye. A tiny speck of light blinking in the blackness. He had not seen it there before. It was something different. He obviously felt very intrigued by it and even felt hopeful. Could this be some form of help?

He continued to watch as he gnawed on a stale cheese puff. The light grew brighter as well as slightly bigger. What was it?

Little did he know that as he looked on, his ship was being tracked and pursued by another ship, this one too far out for a visual but just far enough to get a signal of his ship. This vessel being captained by none other than Aves's friend and fellow Insane Cafe cook, Nick and crewed by a colorful assortment of characters, all from the more recent adventures in The Insane Cafe.

God, does it have to be real? Cause I don't want it to be. I had that picture perfect image in my head of "Always There" being the first time he'd really thought about her...god, this has to be real, does't it?!

 I liked how 5 just shows us with Littlefoot suddenly coming up with the idea to leave the herds. I don't like how someone is trying to mess with the story and ruin the vision of it I had. It's the first half of 5 and it's my favorite, and now I can't get it out of my head and it's a part of the movie practically. But I don't want it to be.

I don't want it to be!


I don't want it to be!    



Personally, I think it would be more interesting to see Mr. Threehorn's reaction in this situation. We'd see him maybe feeling a little guity about what he said, but then considering it's all for the best...I mean, don't you think it would be more interesting to see inside the mind of...the, well, "antagonist" of this situation? Don't you think Littlefoot is a bit too cliche? I may have to do this myself.

There's a beautiful thing about fiction. You can take it and make it whatever you want it to be. You can give it your own personal meanings and you can have your own personal theories about it.

In short, you could take it and close out the original creator's reality and substitute your own. Just don't go around shoving it in other people's faces saying that its the most ultimate cannon for the story (which its not). This is called fannon. And it exists for all popular series out there. Even for LBT.

If you dont like a certain ideology for a certain story, then you dont have to accept it. Make your own ideology and go with it. And dont judge other people for their ideology, because that's just a bit, well, selfish.

I hope that made sense.

So, any thoughts to the new Bizzarro Pinkie villain?
