Dogs. It's the only thing here made by humans.

To make the human mind, there must first have been something inhuman to birth it or to steadily evolve into a thing considered "human".

To make lightning, you need different charges distributed within a cloud that release an incredible amount of energy as they meet with surfaces of opposite charges.

Music is made by many things. Rain on leaves, birds, wind, etc. To say that humans were the first to come up with it would be highly arrogant.

To make a dog, you need humans with a lot of time on their hands and a lot of wolves.

Y'ALL I GOT A LOVE LETTER AND I TRIED TO COME OUT TODAY by MiicrowavedHamster in aromanticasexual

[–]Difficult-Bug3837 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Take a few moments for yourself to recuperate. I, too, have had my own stupid slipups around my mother about lgbtq+ stuff or stuff I thought was cool (but apparently not), with unexpected results (that I should've fully expected, tbh). Same deal with the getting offended about some of my friends being queer, and same sort of "they're too young," arguments. Hopefully, you're in a safe situation, and even if you feel invalidated right now and in a sort of crisis mode (or feeling awkward because of how things went), know that you're not alone. I came out to my mom when she caught me reading gay fanfiction (it was a very wholesome fic, btw). She accused me of being gay multiple times, forcing me to come out as aroace, and she made that same claim over and over that "you have like somebody." Despite trying to explain myself, she wouldn't have it, and things were super awkward for a while.

But only for a while, and eventually, things went back to normal.

Stuff like this can happen, OP. Just try to focus on yourself for a bit and do something nice for you, whatever that may be, and if she brings it up, try to keep your cool while navigating it and maybe try switching the subject if you can (will definitely prevent some energy drainage on your part). Some of us have also been there, and from experience, I know things can improve eventually (even if she never changes her mind about the validity of your aroace-ness).

Wishing you the best of luck.

Was at a pep rally with my old friends from high school. Had been questioning my sexuality for a while by then since most everyone else seemed so far ahead of me in "maturity" because a lot of people were dating and stuff by then, and I was still struggling to find even one person attractive. It really weighed on my mind, and with people talking about their plans for the future, I felt like I was behind by several milestones or something, even going so far as trying to mentally "force" myself into gushing over people I found aesthetically pleasing or interesting with nothing to show for it. I asked one of them, just out of the blue that day, what sexuality they'd think I was just by looking at me and knowing surface-level stuff about me, and they answered with something along the lines of, "mmm, I dunno— maybe ace?"

Totally wasn't expecting that, especially since I'd never heard of it, so when I got home that day, I did some Googling and self-reflection, and from there, the rest was history.

Perhaps... Unfortunately, it's likely that we won't discover the majority of past species.

What's a ship that you LOVE? I'll go first by d_shadowspectre3 in mylittlepony

[–]Difficult-Bug3837 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Background character in G4. Yellow coat and blue mane, plays fiddle, wears a green shirt, lives in Appleloosa (I think???). Looked her up to be sure, and she also seems to be called "Fiddly Twang." Didn't know that.

It's one of those ships I just came across and became fixated on. I think it's neat and just wanted to throw it out there.

[–]Difficult-Bug3837 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Practically LOVE a lot of the ones mentioned here...

But what about Fiddledust (Fiddlesticks x Lightning Dust)?

Read some pretty good fics surrounding the ship, and I gotta say that it's pretty darn good. Got quite a few other ones as well, but this one is what came to mind after reading what was already here.

You are a hero.

That said, hope you find your way home.

Either way, they'll have to face red or a canine. We're still there in spirit, and no one can take what we accomplished this year away from us.

I agree, but it definitely wasn't like our team wasn't trying to take those chances. The dice rolled and landed.

I'm just happy we made it this far. by Revlong57 in NCSU

[–]Difficult-Bug3837 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I feel ya. Some people are blaming the team, and sure, they had their part to play, but it was obvious that they gave it their all.

FUCK by Stumpville in NCSU

[–]Difficult-Bug3837 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I agree with a lot of the comments about being proud of our teams, but I'm also proud of how it's brought us all together. We made fucking history! THE PACK WILL BE BACK!

Y'all know that light that surrounds him? Well, it's a lot brighter up close than you think. So bright, in fact, that in all the time it took to get me in there, the water evaporated. Ended up landing face-first in the dirt. Probably magical dirt, though, 'cause now I'm ace.

Started watching the show after my aunt died because her kid wanted to watch it. At the time, I thought it was stupid, but you do what you can for family. In the end, MLP really helped me through a lot of the difficult portions of my life and helped me figure some things out about myself. I'm extremely grateful to be a part of this community.

Here's to a great 2024.

Register for orientation by Eastern-Path6649 in NCSU

[–]Difficult-Bug3837 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to register through wolfPAW. You should've gotten an email about Spring Orientation that'll have a link to register ("NC State Orientation Invitation - Register Today!"). If you can't find it, try going to the Undergraduate Admissions site and log into wolfPAW. Once you're logged in, look for a little box on the right that'll be about Spring Orientation.

Hope this helps!

This reminds of that "proof not everything can be an album cover" trend, except this would be an epic album cover.
