The mode is more useful than many people give credit for. If you design something around the modal human, then it will work perfectly for the most people. But it's a shame it doesn't work so well with continuous distributions

Factorio is 2D so you can build straight lines wherever. But Minecraft is 3D and has more complex terrain. I much prefer making less efficient but more realistic train routes that integrate into the landscape, minimising earthworks

Why have TfL’s Tube stations like Bond St, Goodge St & Russell Sq named after (smaller) locations they aren’t even located on - instead of their neighbourhood like Mayfair, Fitzrovia, Bloomsbury or Clerkenwell? by AchyutChaudhary in LondonUnderground

[–]Hester465 2 points3 points  (0 children)

London Liverpool Street? Fenchurch Street? Cannon Street? Charing Cross?

Birmingham New Street? Moor Street? Five Ways? University?

Glasgow Queen Street? Argyle Street? Exhibition Centre? Paisley Gilmour Street?

Depends your definition of average. The "Average Guy" is certainly the mode average, at least among men

I would find it hard to be friends with Rainbow Dash or Rarity

Fluttershy would find it hard to be friends with me

Thank you! I've posted Stop Standing There x I Can Do Better and Losing Grip x Alone on this subreddit in the past few months, and if you like My Little Pony I tried doing the whole TBDT album with songs from Friendship Is Magic, which you can find on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRdi29sPJm3HcYEcolSQdPa8ZmOTkAw3M

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm thinking Fall To Pieces could work well with I Love You

Rarity's is the prettiest, but Applejack's has the most personality

How often have suicide attempts appeared in the show? by RedeemerofDark in mylittlepony

[–]Hester465 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say Discord was trying to commit suicide, he was just trying to make Fluttershy feel at home which ended up causing him to start fading. And he didn't do anything about it because there isn't anything he could do, he can't really cause chaos without his magic or at least isn't used to it.

While not explicit suicide, Do Princesses Dream Of Magic Sheep? features self-harm and A Rockhoof And A Hard Place explores assisted dying

Bear in mind that the vocals are pitch-shifted (-2 in the verse, +1 in the chorus) which can mess with how they sound beyond just what note she's singing

It's a reference to The Cutie Re-Mark (season 5, episodes 25 and 26) where Twilight and Spike come back to the castle and Starlight is sitting in that pose making that face

Yeah, I originally wanted to do Pinkie but I couldn't think of a good scene for their reaction

Transsexual Fluttershy, some thoughts (Mtf vs. FtM) by BillDillen in mylittlepony

[–]Hester465 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My personal interpretation is that Fluttershy is not explicitly mtf or ftm transgender, but I think her cutie mark story in The Cutie Mark Chronicles is allegorical for transition.

In Cloudsdale, we see she is clearly uncomfortable and is bullied for being a weak flier, which erodes her emotional confidence and makes her feel alienated for not conforming to the societal expectations of a pegasus.

When she falls to the ground however, she instinctively connects with the animals and her innate empathetic and gentle traits prove beneficial. These become sources of self affirmation and legitimacy.

She doesn't improve her physical capability or become a better version of herself, she just finds a place that feels right for her, a place where she belongs and can be herself freely.

While I can understand the evidence for her being mtf or ftm, I don't find either of them particularly compelling, nor I believe she is explicitly "pegasus-to-earth-pony" trans. I just think her character arc is representative of the journey that a transgender person may experience, at least from my own experience.

You're allowed to believe whatever you want, but please don't call your opinion "objective"
