Pic(single one):

Quite nice:

That's all.

(*Continues crying after beating yet again ACZ, mainly tears were dropped while making this post, such strong response should be replicated in a fanfic, but there isn't any fanfic that fulfils such task so well, maybe the Celestia realization comes close, but at the end, I just... I don't know, I will read some fanfics to see if I can get that response, but I'm aware that it will never happen.*)

I am going to upload the clock face if anyone else wants to turn a crappy wall clock into their own GaP Clock, but I'm having trouble hunting down where I got one of the vectors from. As soon as I find it I'll throw it up, though.

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

Time to nostalgia up on some Halo 2 and lie to myself that it counts as research for my fic.

 

[Wiegert]

Right, I'm back for a couple of hours, but then I'll be gone until either Saturday evening or Sunday morning (the next few days are going to be busy for me), by which time I'll surely be suffering from acute MLP deficiency.

Starting on the 7th, I'm going to be going on vacation. This either means I will have a lot of relaxation time to work on TNTNE, or I will have no time between family stuff. I'll be gone till the 11th, so we'll see then.

Hopefully the next part is uploaded at some point in the next few days, although I will need to catch up on the other fanfics I've been reading when I return, namely Macintosh and Tabluna Rasa.

Yeah, I'll need to do something to prepare for when I finally head off to boot camp. [gritty voice]Gonna be hell without my ponies.[/gritty voice]

If I don't I might just kind of drop dead halfway through from lack of ponies.

 

[Akira AC]

Reading this, then time to restore my Tea and food supplies:

Ingredients of a Rainbow

The tags actually got my attention([Grimdark][Shipping][Sad]), maybe is good or at least unique(it has poor rating thought, about two stars).

And the images kind of sold me (as always).

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

Oh that? I've decided only to read fics I've already started reading, so my list is pretty much shortened to the Ballad and a few others.

I'm glad Sethisto does a fanfic update roundup each nightly roundup now. Much easier than scrolling through the fanfic section.

 

[Tornado]

I thought that DashxDashxDash story from last night was the most delightfully bizarre thing I've read in a long time.

 

[Apok]

So I come back after two days and first thing I see is something about a DashxDashxDash story?
This thread never ceases to amaze me.

It was actually more like DashxDashxDashxDashxDashxDashxDashxDash (plus Applejack spending most of the story wishing one of the Dash's would get bored and hook up with her instead), but I figured I'd be succinct.

 

[Akira GT]

Hey guys I decided to do a tune for the GranTurismo S '08 based of Rarity.. I think I did well!



Tell me what you think... after all you are the Experts of MLP!

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

Needs to be more...Great and Powerful, I think.

 

[Tornado]

Of Mares and Magic didn't have that [Sad] tag before. Of that I'm quite sure.

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

It didn't, but Chapter...eight or nine afterwards definitely deserve it.

Especially as what started as a really enjoyabl company suddenly turned into a heart-cutting sadfic. Bait and switch ftw.

/Edit/

Wait...update complete? No...no it can't be...

So many of the few fics I have left to track are being completed. But screw my own fic I was on the verge of sending off for proof reading, I need to read this.

 

[Tornado]

Prince Douche!!!



Edit:

Ha ha! Vinyl Scratch Tapes tie-in.


Plus a tie-in to that one story where Octavia was Pinkie's sister. That's an old school reference, right there.

Edit 2: Oh god, the manly tears. Why so many manly tears. Of course, the reveal was the least surprising thing ever, but I still rolled with it; if only because the manly tears started up immediately again.

Edit 3:

Yes!

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

I love the in-jokes in Mares and Magic.

Spoiler

"It looks like they just added, like, digital effects to make it appear like it was a real mountain, when it really wasn't. I can tell from some of the pixels, from seeing quite a few digital effects in my time."

 

[Tornado]

Oh god dammit. That ending. That ending!

Spoiler

Star crossed lovers... Star crossed lovers because they cared for each other.

And I am going to chew that Anon out.

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

Am not read spoiler.

Also I love the DashiePie relationship in this last chapter. It's funny how Pinkie basically embarrasses Dash constantly.

Tell me what you think... after all you are the Experts of MLP!

I think it looks great. Also:

Comments
This is the GranTurismo S with a rare twist... it is based of MLP:Fim's Rarity which I thought would be perfect as the car is stylish and full of luxury!
I like the GranTurismo S but I hate it's handling after some annoying work I got to calm down and be better than before but unfortunately it's still not perfect!
Enjoy

Just remember, if a car is supposed to be luxurious and comfortable, expect understeer due to soft suspension stock settings.

 

[Tornado]

I think I may have to tone my response down a bit. It is getting rather vicious, now that I look at it.

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

Oh God...that ending. I knew it was going to happen, but it's...so sad. :'(

 

[Tornado]

There. All done. Pointed out how much of a 🤬 moron the Anon was, while at the same time acknowledging what I find to be a rather major flaw with the ending of the story pointed out by someone who actually seemed to read the ending.

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

Very late here, but necessary to get both "Bits and Pieces" done, and read the last of OMaM.

Enjoy what's left of your days:

/Supposedly unconscious edit/

Btw Toro, you wouldn't happen to mind arguing on one of my fics to cause a commeny haystorm, eh? XD
(Joking obviously.)

Also, would it be considered bad if I were to build a romance backstory, but not have the two characters get to be together? I have an idea for how it woud work, just not sure if shipping fans'd hate me for stealing their happy, heartwarming climax.

 

[Minty]

Yes.

Rainbow Dash loves her some love and tolerance.

 

[Tornado]

Now I'm depressed. Discussing it with a guy who is actually capable of rational thought has made me realize more than I originally did just how bad the ending is.

I'm talking "I'm pissed off" level of bad. I'm talking "Of Mares and Magic just lost its 20% Cooler Tag" annoyance. I'm talking "that ending just did the impossible and torpedoed Of Mares and Magic way out of my Top 5" feelings of contempt for what it ended up doing. Which is good news for Macintosh, I suppose; but it makes me feel absolutely terrible.

(Joking obviously.)

Get an anon (its usually an Anon, if I'm recalling my more heated responses on the TNTNE page correctly) to piss me off for clearly not reading any of the damn story before opening their stupid mouth.

Not at all. Star Crossed Lovers if a perfectly valid way to end a story. Using Star Crossed Lovers to undermine 10 🤬 chapters of character building, some of the best character building I had ever seen in a fan fic, all so you can add a [Sad] tag, is not. Just don't do that.



Anyways, results from the DVD competition.

 

[Akira AC]

At the end, there is always a void.
Ironic, isn't it.

Pic time:

Interesting:

Lyra staring the hypnosis session:

And this is quite good:

That's all, for now.

 

[Tornado]

Or, you know, I'll just get so pissed that I'll strike it from the list entirely. I even apologized to the Anon.




At the very least, this will serve as a learning experience. I'll take care to never get that involved with a story again.





Edit: Megasweet saves the day again:

Violence against characters I don't like always cheers me up.




Good night. I think I'm going to sleep on this and see if I'm still as pissed off in the morning.

 

[Minty]

So I shelved the Big Macindodge for a little while to work on the Twilight car. I couldn't decide on what best fit her, so I ended up going with a Corvette Z06. I figure it's close enough. It's got power, it's not fancy, and...well it's my favorite car for my favorite pony. It's also got a nice bump on the hood that looks like it'll fit the horn. I've got nothing going on tomorrow, so I might just work on this, or I'll burn through the rest of Macintosh. It all depends on how I feel tomorrow.

I'll most likely get through Macintosh though.

 

[popcorn]

Yes.

Rainbow Dash loves her some love and tolerance.

What is Rainbow Dash aiming at in the air?

 

[Racedude]

^It looks as some kind of training at a shooting range.

WAIT!

The trigger, the bolt, the magazine, the sights!

You need fingers for those!
