See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

Notice the word "would" comes up alot in that part. I don't like the fact that the moral would have been "it's not about what you want it's about your "Destiny" " That implies that children would have to give up there dreams just because thet're not "good" at it *cough* I vote for rocket wings* cough*. Although I never bought into Scootaloo being handycapped in a world of magical ponies ._. the very nleast it's because she hasn't gone to flight school yet.

I guess it just varies with whomever your talking to. The whole “give up dreams for reality” is a bad idea for a general kid’s show. But to me, it’s a stunning and, unfortunately, a true aspect of life. It’s relevant to me because Post Crusade is the anti-FiM. It’s a world where magic and friendship not always solve everything. It shows an aspect of life that you can’t just shove into a child’s face.

Personally, I've always seen Scootaloo as a handicap. Even before the “chicken” meme started. And it makes up a good 15% of PC’s backstory. Though it’s a sad possibility, it pushes the envelope on what kind of reality children are exposed to on TV. A reality where things don’t always turn out well, or where not everything is candy-coated and happy. If used correctly, Scootaloo can be a good example on how things are not so perfect, but you can still achieve great things nonetheless.

People might hate me for this, but I hope that this, plus her being an orphan, becomes canon.

(PS: Don’t expect Post Crusade to turn out that way, though. Scootaloo broke an unbreakable land speed record, but she’s still a crippled, clinically depressed orphan. And that’s it.)

Concept art for my new ask blog coming soon. There’s no official name yet, but I’m referring it as The Cutie Mark Diaries, suggested by takeruminamoto.

It’s an alternative story to what we’ve seen in “Cutie Mark Chronicles”, where Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash were Cutie Mark Crusaders when they were fillies.

I never saw the connection until now. But’s a coincidence, so it’s not the reason why I made her that way.
Time for a little note from the creator.

Time for a little note from the creator.

When creating the personalities of each character, I based them off some of a person’s basic beliefs and wills. Some of us have felt this way before.

  • Sweetie is the belief that nothing matters and life is worthless.
  • Scootaloo is the belief of never living up to expectations.
  • Apple Bloom is the belief that everything will be okay.
  • Rumble is the will to go on and beat the odds.
  • Dinky is the belief of being happy with what you have.

There’s so much chaos in Post Crusade because all these feelings are clashing and trying to dominate. With such an out-of-control rollercoaster of emotions, one cart is bound to be derailed.

The medias are talking a lot about hero Sally Ride passing away (and what a phenomenal woman she was indeed, wow), but none of them are mentioning that the woman who shared her life for 27 years, Tam O’Shaughnessy, will get no widow benefits from the States like astronauts’s spouses usually do.
Because gay.

Lesbian is still an ugly word, eh?

Why must it be so damn hard for a society to simply accept the love between two men or two women and the right to be together? Aside from the parties involved, what’s the difference?!

Peru

On Friday, I’m leaving to go to the fabulous land of Peru for a family reunion. I probably won’t be able to update PC, but who knows? I might surprise ya. ;)

So don’t expect much this weekend, the week after, and the week after.

I’ll bring back photos (of llamas)!
