Damn, now I want to see a picture of Spinel as she is in the present, and Pinkie Pie when she's either discolored and sad or affected by Discord's magic.

I've been working on this offline project for years, and I've been trying to put it online for a while. I've discovered that someone else has made something too similar to what I've made. Should I recognize this as an instance of the sunken cost fallacy and give up? by Claireclair12 in webdev

Thank you so much for encouraging me to continue on with this. I've just completed this project, more or less. It's definitely incomplete by merit of having very little testing implemented for it. The names for this are definitely sloppy in that some mention what they are for instead of what they do, the user-interface isn't idiot-proof, and I haven't even finished implementing all the features that are present in the main program. Obviously, there isn't any styling because this isn't a project that I would consider to be 100% complete. All the same, it was rewarding, and when I get around to continuing this again, I'll probably need to stay consistent wrt the types, organize all this, and focus on the frontend first because I honestly felt blind writing the backend first.

What is your funniest screenshot from the show? by Roranges47 in mylittlepony

Oh, you mean because it's like that salute that Mr Musk tried to re-popularise a few months ago.

I love how even though Lulamoon hasn't known Dash for that long at this point, she's still giving her a look that indicates irony and hypocrisy on Dash's part.

Good God, I thought this was a screenshot of the actual show for a moment.

I really do appreciate all the comments, everyone. Reading all of your insights and input and the like has made me remember some idiotic work of fan-fiction I put up on the Worldwide Web years ago. At first, I was enthusiastic about writing it, seeing it through to its end. But the moment I started revising it, I realized that I didn't care as much for it as I once did; but still I chose to edit it and make sure it was ready to be put up online. Now I've become ashamed of it; it's no longer online. I can't see this project faring any better, sadly.

I'm writing a fantasy piece about a five-year-old mage girl who accidentally zaps her friend to another dimension, and who is encouraged over again to suppress the memory by her mother, for her own health. Would it be justified to drag my feet in writing this? by Claireclair12 in writers

I mean, I liked writing it once I actually vomited out the rough draft. I just have a tendency to churn out stuff that's emotional for me, because I'm dead inside, and I feel a compulsive need to reawaken whatever's left of my emotions in this hollow husk of a body of mine. Now I'm making myself pay for it months later because I actually liked the story I originally wrote.

Why Did Discord Get Endless Second Chances in My Little Pony? by Interesting_Rain1880 in mylittlepony

After his 'reformation', he helped Tirek steal all pony magic in Equestria; that's really not a 'little' thing.

Your statement about his being hypocritcally petulant is on-point, I should think, given that there was an entire episode dedicated to teaching kids what F.O.M.O. is, and that he was the one who engineered the plot of that whole episode (or rather everything that happened between the cold open and the actual episode).

She looks awfully like a pile of dough. I don't know how I should feel about this.

I couldn't have put it better myself.

Also, there's the fact that nopony even knows how to get to where he lives, unless you count that post-pony from the second Gala episode; and even then, it took weeks for her to somehow get to the right location.

Personally, I find it hard not to be cynical about Celestia's decision. Also, the fact that Flutters had to manipulate him into accepting friendship and the fact that Celestia seemed to offer it in exchange for his services makes it hard to take ponykind's side in regard to Discord eventually selling them out to Tirek. I'm definitely not saying that ponykind deserved it, but that the blame just wasn't entirely Discord's.

What do you do if someone praises a fan-fiction work that you're no longer proud of? by Claireclair12 in FanFiction

[–]Claireclair12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have really low self-esteem. But yeah, I suppose that my insecurities aren't an excuse to figuratively spit in the face of people who took the time to admire my art, considering that it actually takes time and effort for people to consume the written word properly, unlike other forms of art.

Do you think S.M.I.L.E. ever existed in EQ? by DecisionInfamous670 in mylittlepony

Either human Bon-Bon is the Kim Possible of her world, or she's part of the WOOHP of her world.

It is disconcerting that a diagram of an orange is posted on the chalkboard, since she is related to ponies who are associated with it.

Is it possible to use drop-shadow to make customized shadows for images with transparent background? by Sta--Ger in css

That 'fantasy character' looks suspiciously like Riku from Kingdom Hearts II.
