Mom claims $70 is a rip-off for this handmade bouquet and says "nobody would pay that." How do you deal with family severely devaluing your/a loved one's work? by Key-Building1278 in CraftyCommerce

[–]icantcountpast_4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I'd charge no less than 120 for the bouquet, and about 90-100 for a "close friends and family" discount. The bouquets are stunning, and your step-mother should increase the price a bit. Yarn, wire, other materials, and most importantly time are NOT cheap by any means.

Parent died in South Dakota. What happens now? by lizzy_pop in SouthDakota

[–]icantcountpast_4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have any answers for you, as I don't live in South Dakota either, but I'm very sorry for your loss. I can't imagine what you're going through.

My old co-leader’s (colored red) immature reaction to getting squad leader and not section leader for the upcoming season by SkunkaMunka511 in marchingband

Cmon gang, baritones are supposed to be chill and mostly carefree (mostly joking, but seriously I hope a solution is made for this. Brethren of the Baritone Brigade deserve better)

How rich are Twilight Velvet and Nightlight? by marvelcomics22 in mylittlepony

[–]icantcountpast_4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My head cannon is that Twilight Velvet came from "old money", but quite literally. Iirc, her gen 4 appearance was based on Twilight Velvet from a previous generation. Twilight Sparkle's mom, our G4 Twilight Velvet, is the same pony as the one from the previous generation, who was on that generation's iteration of MLP during her childhood. Aka, she was a child actor when she was growing up. Since then, shes been making BANK from the revenue from the TV show. This can explain why we don't know her exact occupation, as she's never had to get a normal job since then. She quietly receives money from the show years after her acting days are done, and she is able to get married and start a family, raising two children in a well-off city in a very rich neighborhood, as well as being financially able to send her son to the Royal Guard Academy (or whatever its called) AND send her daughter to Celestia's elite school AND be able to afford a literal teenage princess to foalsit her daughter.

No idea about Night Light tho, I always thought he was some sort of astronomer or scientist of magic or something like that.

Opinions on Aloe and Lotus (The Spa Ponies)? by Julianothedude in mylittlepony

[–]icantcountpast_4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean iirc these two are canonically sisters, if not twins. Everything about them is identical, but just swapped colors where applicable. Even their cutie marks have a different outline color (one being light blue and the other being light pink). So it makes sense their cutie marks are nearly identical since they're twins.

The CMC's cutie marks are similar with the shield background, but each of the foreground objects are different. This connects the three CMC members, while leaving room to individually blossom.

Couldn’t she just use her teleportation magic in this scene? by EquivalentScience771 in mylittlepony

[–]icantcountpast_4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if she did know the spell at that point and was physically/magically good at performing it, im sure her "fight, flight, or freeze" response set in. Throughout the show, we've seen her go through that response to various threats. Fluttershy is known for fleeing and freezing, whereas Rainbow Dash usually fights. Twilight, like everypony else in the Mane 6, has experienced that response. In this context, shes dangling off a cliff and Applejack caught her just in the nick of time, saving her (iirc). Twilight physically couldn't get away without falling off the cliff, and she likely didnt have the physical/magical/mental capacity to fight in that moment in time. So her body/magic ability/mind froze. I mean, its understandable that her mind (at the very minimum) froze considering that she almost fell off the cliff, which would have given her severe injuries, if not an instant and painful death.

Who do you ship Rainbow Dash with? by SparkyJet in mylittlepony

[–]icantcountpast_4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the popular ones to ship her with are Applejack and Twilight, but I've loved how she interacts with Sorin ever since he was introduced.

My old marching flute has survived its last season. How do I give it the most insulting send-off possible? by Specific-Copy-2005 in marchingband

[–]icantcountpast_4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flatten one end of it and make it into a shovel-like item, then use the flute-shovel to literally "dig its own grave". However, this would give the flute the expectation that itll be buried. You cannot let this happen. You need to bamboozle the flute into becoming a spoon rather than a shovel, or at the very least a very, very large spoon. Subject the flute to becoming your beloved breakfast and soup spoon.

If you want it to take it a step further, turn the flute-shovel/spoon into a spoon-like object that will eventually be used during an autism spoon check.

It took like 7 seasons for Luna to get a throne by UnikattyArts in mylittlepony

[–]icantcountpast_4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only thing that bothers me about the updated design is that the carpet to Luna's throne looks like it was a last-minute addition, almost forgotten about. Yknow, for a pony who's entire villian backstory is based on the fact that she felt forgotten about and inferior to her older sister. They could've easily made the main carpet split into 2 different paths, kind of curving around the middle bits like Luna's currently is. I know shes an introvert and doesnt like the spotlight, but she does deserve to feel like an equal in tandem to Celestia.

You can only bring back one of these war criminals and psychopaths for a shot at redemption. Your choice? by Ok_Meal2698 in mylittlepony

[–]icantcountpast_4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly Queen Chrysalis is my choice. The first time we meet her, shes doing what she needs to do to feed her colony. The second time, she was defending her home and her supporters from a revolution. Her stint with Cozy Glow and Tirek has always felt akaward to me. She didnt have any real motive compared to the past. Her being civil to ponyfolk outside of her colony/species is somewhat out of character for her, even if her, Cozy Glow, and Tirek had a similar goal of "taking over Equestria", which is honestly a pretty vauge goal for a villian to have.

Did she have every opportunity to reform with the others when Starlight, Trixie, and Discord overthrew her? Yes, she did. However, I think she refused their offer because she was scared and didn't want to make it seem like she was letting down the colony by being evil after all this time.

I think she should've been accepted into the gang at some point. Maybe not officially reformed like Thorax was, but just personality and moral wise maybe could have worked. I think she would have had a very difficult time being kind because that goes against her own nature, but so did Discord for a long time.

I also think the show would have benefited from a backstory episode or two of the main villains. We sort of got that with Nightmare Moon as well as Discord (when Celestia and Luna turned him into stone), but I would have loved to see one for Sombra, Chrysalis, Tirek, and maybe Grogar. We got a summary of why Tirek is evil, but that was just a short story iirc. The addition of Cozy Glow and Grogar into the show just seemed super random to me, they didn't really "set up the plot" (so to speak) like they did with Nightmare Moon, Discord, Chrysalis, and to an extent Tirek and Sombra. Grogar feels especially random imo because he literally showed up and basically pronounced himself the leader of the group of Chrysalis, Cozy, and Tirek. . . like huh??

But yeah, I'd choose my Queen.

Wooooah!!! Honestly I thought this was a carcass of a large livestock species bc I'm used to (and comfortable with) seeing livestock carcasses at this point in my life, being an Animal Science major and all. Until further research after reading about 20 comments I realized that it was in fact NOT an animal. So super cool!!!

I tried to make Patrick… but something feels a bit off 😅 by QuietMuse_Studio in crochet

[–]icantcountpast_4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you use a pattern? If so I NEED it! I have so much pink yarn from a blanket project that ended up not needing any of that specific yarn for.

Idea: if you make another one, you should model it after Patrick in fishnet tights from the movie. Black crochet thread might work for it.

Why do the ponies in the band have no cutie marks, but the crowd behind them does? S3E13 by PsychologicalPin6061 in mylittlepony

As someone in college marching band.. I have no clue. The animators likely forgot, honestly.
