General Land Before Time / Spike more devoted to Ducky then Petrie
« on: December 25, 2015, 07:04:34 PM »
Bruton, I'm not looking for apologies or kowtows and it is not my intention to intimidate you. I do admit that my own tone was kind of harsh and straight from the shoulder in my last post.
Nonetheless, I'm afraid it is really how many members feel about this thread. It is very unclear what exact point you are trying to make and why you are so agitated about this. You seem to be angry about others not sharing your view and you seem also angry when people don't post in this thread anymore at all, which kind of leaves only the option to others to agree with you to keep you happy even though people may not even fully understand what exactly they are agreeing to (that Petrie should cry more and sooner about Ducky? That Spike should care less about her than Petrie? That Spike does care more about her than Petrie (which is an opinion rather than a fact since care cannot be measured and is not expressed in the same way by different characters)?).
There is just an awful lot of highly emotional declarations but barely any room for discussion in this thread and all this in combination with a great degree of uncertainty what exactly this thread is meant to accomplish at all.
These are things that must end unless the thread is to be closed for good. It must be clear what exactly is to be discussed, it must be clear that discussion (differing views and opinions that is) are possible and will be respected, and that there is no obligation for anyone to participate in this thread if he or she isn't interested in doing so.
If those basic principles of clarity, oppenness for different views, and recognition of voluntary participation are observed this greatly enhances the probability of participation in this thread. If this thread can be brought back onto that track it can remain open while without that I may have to close it down if chances are that it will just further spark tensions and frustration. I'll leave it open for now, but it will be closely monitored by the admins.

For a very long time this thread has just not contained anything of real substance at all and contributions by other members have either been ignored or else seemed to fuel your fury about something where nobody really understands what exactly you are furious about and where you never really laid out where that fury is comming from in a manner that would be understandable for anyone else.
These are the reasons why hardly anyone wants to post here anymore and same as you claim your right to complain about whatever exactly it may be you are complaining about, others are claiming their right to ignore this thread!
This thread has a history of frustration, rule violations (and sanctions for them) and hostility without bringing forth anything positive or a respectful discussion.
Because of that, the admins have decided that either the next post in this thread will bring it back on a constructive track for actual discussion and comprehension or else we are just going to lock it for good!
I really dislike being forced to that kind of admin work on Christmas of all days <_<

Recently I completed proofreading and editing my first MLP fanfiction, "Lessons in Quirks".
If anyone would be interested in reading it, you can find it either on Fimfiction or as a PDF File under this link.
I want to thank Rocking Scorpion and The Chronicler very much for their feedback and constructive criticism :)  
I would be very interested in any feedback in case you (anyone interested) decided to read it :)

Visual Art / Origami
« on: December 13, 2015, 05:59:59 PM »
My most recent MLP origami project was a printing pattern for Scootaloo. Designing her to be somewhat smaller than the mane6 (just about 4cm high), you can get nine Scootaloo patterns from a piece of origami paper from which you could get just four of the mane6. This may have contributed to the following setup about the question "What would happen if Scootaloo ever came across Pinkie Pie's cloning pool?"

Now I daresay such a fan club might be too much even for Rainbow Dash :lol
Note that some of the Scootaloos come with their Cutie Mark while some don't. Also with Scootaloo I for the first time added some more cuts to the head allowing for her mane to be a bit less edged than in case of the previous origamis. I might try to do something similar with the manes of future figures with elaborate manes (e.g. Rarity or Fluttershy). Also I tested some poses one can give to these figures, like sitting:



Running:


This was an attempt at giving her a kicking pose like Applejack when bucking apple trees. At least three points of a figure need to touch the ground for it to remain standing. However when I tried bend one of the rear legs far back for it to kick, the figure would always tpple over. I'm afraid in this case one would really have to include something for her to kick against thereby proping up the kicking leg:


This pose is her tapping something (or in case of the above image with Rainbow Dash somepony):


Future projects might include the other Cutie Mark Crusaders, Princess Celestia and perhaps Zecora.

I didn't keep this thread very up to date. Since I started it I have come up with some new MLP origamis.
I have by now come up with a Discord who does sport wings and created a printing pattern for him:






I would have liked to come up with a similar printing pattern for Princess Luna, but unfortunately it doesn't work out to print lighter colors (as in her mane and tail) on the darker background of her main color (to a lesser degree the same problem exists for Applejack, while the coloring of the rest of the mane6 doesn't pose much of a problem). So in case of Luna I created one figure which I colored with some opaque, metalic pen:

You will not hear me disagree with you about the quality of the original vs. the sequels WR. I share your opinion there.
But opinion it remains and if others think differently they have every right to do so same as we have every right to disagree with their opinions. There is no right of anyone here to deny others their right to their opinions.
That being said I strongly suggest for everyone to take a step back and relax. There is absolutely no need whatsoever for this to develope into some kind of quarrel.

^ What rhombus says.

I agree with your estimation WR, but no differing opinions are prohibited or even discouraged on the GOF.

Remember though that people do have the right to disagree if they feel different about it.
