Hopefully you can visit regularly.   :yes

Do you have any favorite characters or episodes from MLP:FIM?
Scootaloo, Featherweight, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Derpy, Luna, Pipsqueak, Dinky, and the other CMCs, really I like a lot, but the first 5 are my top 5.

Sleepless in Ponyville, Ponyville Confidential.



@Petrie85: What is the chatroom? Lemme know your Skype and I'll possibly join in.

It all depends on if I have time and energy. That's the two things that decide whether  I can do most of my stuff, anymore! XP

Hello, everyone. So, long, long ago, back in the years prior to 2011 and up through then, this one guy who was on the forums posted a lot, and then kind of up and vanished.

He's returned, no guarantee about consistent responses, because, honestly, this me guy, spread himself so thin on his work, that he doesn't go to a lot of places anymore, to give some depth to my stuff. I'm super active on deviantART, and, in fact, that's why I am posting here, this, today.

I jumped on the brony bandwagon when I found out I really really really really (really really) liked the new My Little Pony show. If you're turned off by that, return in a few paragraphs, as marked.

*Work ranges from G to R, all MLP stuff is G-PG, however*

I am still big on deep analysis, as I was with my Ducky analysis back in 2007. My new character I've picked up to analyze is Scootaloo from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I found the character's personality, mystery, and potential fascinating, and began studying her (I actually went back, at the end of Season 2 and rewatched every episode for this project.) After enough analysis and thinkifying, I came up with a working character in my head. To this day, I have written a fan fiction scaling the 100k word wall, currently resting at 119k words. It's a big investment to read, but it's broken into small enough chunks it's easy to pick up and drop, based on time, energy, and necessity. Thus, I present to you, Scootaloo's Personal Diary
Scootaloo's Personal Diary. (There are also two substories: one that is complete, and one that needs a major overhaul.) It's a year's work and counting, with several arcs, some commissioned art, if you're willing to have a couple spoilers to the story's content, and a lot of effort: it spans romance, sorrow, loss, friendship, ethics, and a great deal more.

*Channeling RonCo* But wait! There's more! For tuning in here, today. You get not one, but TWO My Little Pony themed products (okay, technically four, not one, not two, not three, but four!): The Deal With Bronies is a series of essays I have been writing about why the show is successful, and my thoughts relating to the cultural response. I'll even throw in, for no extra charge, my major criticisms of the show, to date!


***NONPONY FANS RETURN HERE***

My life isn't all MLP these days. I haven't done much lately with The Land Before Time, though I did receive 1, 2, and 4 on DVD for my birthday, this year.

I have also produced an original work  (I have 4 sections written, two have been edited, though,) and a Mario fanfic.

I've also produced poetry (Collection, 1, 2) and essays (1, 2, 3).

But Tails_155, you might say, isn't this a lot of writing? What if I don't have the time for literature? Well, my friend, have I got a deal for you! I have a vast collection of various media, ranging from photography, to a couple related pixel art projects, to various things, in between!

If you think there is nothing else, you would be wrong, my friend. There is plenty to explore on my deviantART as a whole! So come see what all the fuss is about that has warranted this young artist a Daily Deviation, and a feature on FIMFiction! You won't be disappointed!



Spiel aside, I would really appreciate it if you'd check out my stuff, I've spent 7 or so years working on various forms of art, and it's starting to pick up some steam, so I'm hoping to get any responses I can. Thanks for your time!  :smile

I frankly love Marble Hornets. I find it so interesting and scary all at once.
Agreed.

Silver Screen / Marble Hornets
« on: August 02, 2011, 12:22:04 PM »
So, there's this plot going on right now, following a group of people originally working on a film called Marble Hornets, together, whose lives have been drastically changed over the last several years by a very tall humanoid form in a suit--who appears to have the ability to plague people with disease, possibly control people, and do a real number on recordings of it, as well as two masked individuals. Jay, the narrating voice, is attempting to figure out the mystery of what is going on, as well as recover whatever scraps of memories he can from the past 7 months of his life that he does not remember at all, having awaken in a hotel in a place he does not recognize, and encountering only one other person in the hotel, save the staff. Both of them have experienced severe memory loss, and when Jay finally decides to open up to the other person, she vanishes. He discovers the passcode to get into the safe in his hotel in her room, and upon opening the safe, to a large stack of tapes and a hard drive, he is attacked and has to flee. Present day, he is going through this new mess of tapes to try and figure out what has happened over the past few years, as well as his total blackout for 7 months.

All the information is organized here, join in the mystery. (If you read everything on the page, please don't spoil it for others.)

See that doesn't make sense to me because I SWEAR I've heard of a Despicable Me 2... and that's done BY Universal Animation Studios... Whatever... we'll see if that was just a rumor, or not, too.

General Land Before Time / Land Before Time location
« on: July 16, 2011, 11:32:11 AM »
I'm pretty sure it's just as fictional a place as the situation itself is... the particular combination of dinosaurs renders this all impossible (well not 100% so, but reasonably so) because there are multiple "generations" of dinosaur groups, and the ones shown across the films is inclusive of cretaceous, jurassic, and triassic dinosaurs, and inclusive of ones that were extinct at the same time the others were alive. It's pretty safe to say there was no map in the author's mind of a real-world location if they didn't even make sure that the whole posse was alive at the same time. My two cents.

Hobbies and Recreation / Coin Collecting
« on: July 15, 2011, 11:43:16 PM »
I primarily collect US type coins, I'd love to do a Shield Nickel set -- ideally I'd love to collect coins without busts (I don't know why, but faces on coins just seem so meh to me, I like coins with non-human decorations.) Coins with wheat, shields, rays, stars, some animals, and the like -- I just find them pretty.

Fossils fascinate me. Many things fascinate me, so that isn't huge news, but I do love fossils. If I were rich, I'd invest in the construction of one, or a series of museums for fossils. I've been to the Thermopolis Specimen of the Archaeopteryx Lithographica, and they had a cast of the Microraptor Gui fossil there among other cool things. I've been to several museums, I love them. I love learning about the various creatures or stones, or whatever they have at each museum. I love it, love it, love it!

Visual Art / Reality - The Game!
« on: July 15, 2011, 11:34:59 PM »
So I posted in September 2008 my project of the time with this:

Quote
Reality - The Game!
Reality - The Game! was a random Idea I've had for a long time that I finally started making, I'll eventually add more DVDs, Videos and CDs, which includes all 15 that I have of LBT...

If you have something else you'd like to see as a 24x24 or smaller sprite, message me on deviantArt and I'll see what I can do :)

1,200

This still holds true. I have made a lot since then, and instead of making it literally just an art project idea of what could be a game, I created fragments of a tabletop-game mechanic system for the game, too.

Any input is appreciated, I enjoy pixel art, and put a lot of time into it, I'd like to hear what you have to say! I have noticed my characters are a bit... tilted looking? Hard to say, you should see what I mean, though. Other than that I haven't heard much feedback.

There's also a (presently VERY tiny) spin-off called Game - The Game!
Game - The Game!

Silver Screen / Deathly Hallows Part 2
« on: July 15, 2011, 11:25:27 PM »
I actually thought quite differently...

Here's my full review
Here's my full review

I was pretty underwhelmed by a lot of things in the movie: the information, the action, the consistency where consistency didn't need to be lost... I think as a movie it was good, but having read the story it felt lackluster... There are some things that don't translate well into a movie form that are almost destructive to the plot at this point... such are the confines of a different type of media. I mention all of this more elaborately in the link above, but I don't want to post my wall of text here.

I think I may be a bit jaded by now, I really wanted to think this was as good as people were saying, but I genuinely felt starved in some ways...

The Written Word / Life Is Beautiful
« on: April 27, 2011, 02:55:16 AM »
I made a thread about this years ago, and the project kept on, though it has drastically changed in tone and quality... For those of you who don't know (or don't remember) I am in the process of writing a book, and it's coming along at varying paces as time goes on... I had a large influx of writing a couple of years ago, and then I stripped the work of all the lackluster things (they're still available, but not included in the book's framework) and started anew, basically.

For anyone interested, here is the current list of works.

Tell me what you think, what you like, what could be improved, etc.

I hope making a new thread for this after all this time is acceptable.
