FUCK NEW BANNER FLIP SHIT GO GO GO

Edit: Scootaloo and featherweight are both holding rifles in their front hooves, so maybe it's a Pegasus thing, since they can float off their front hooves.

[Kattlarv]

@Frost: (PP and EP) Well, pegasi is shown to have VERY dexterous wings, so that wouldn't be a problem. EP's have very prehensile tails it seems. Other than that, I'd imagine they made guns that worked well for hooves. As for tongues, keep in mind the are ponies. They would design the weapons to be easily operated with their tongues. They wouldn't have the un-jam button on the other side of the firearm. Plus, as for recoil, as said, it'd only make sense if they invested more in dampeners for mouth held ones.

@Wave: Hum... I see, well, then I need to kidnap someone else to give it a quick once over... hey Wave, want to study the interior design of my van? xD
And I dunno, we've posted it before, several times. (18+ I mean), usually okay from what I recall as long as we pile it up behind spoiler tags and a warning. And thanks, it went well actually. Only shed a few tears.

@EP: (Typewriters) They buttons are the "Any key", space and Shift/Enter xD

And again, agree with Cao: Stop fanwanking unicorns. They don't need more glorification xD They need it as much as millionaires need tax breaks because they are rich.

@Robo: (zebra thingamajig) If I'd found it the least bit interesting, I would have checked it out. But form I've read so far, it's far too generic+boring. Then again, I got bad memory, but I recall a "meh" reaction of it overall.

@Valik: (Cupcakes) Might have read that, or something like it at least. Had an overall "meh" about it. Few has made enough sense to be good to me. Either too OOC overall, too dumb or lacks logic. (or has Pinkie be a total pussy or a bully, or both) Like, most have no reason being a fic pretending to be canon characters. Yes, alternate universe my ass, but if you just remove 90 % of the character to keep the "promotion" of the names and how they look, I don't really see the point to use the character anyhow. But yeah... it's like "that one friend" you tend to have that just can't shut the fuck up about something. Like, just to make it odd, have them bring up fetishes they have once a day. Sure, it's disturbing, but might be interesting enough the first times, but after being stuck on brazilian fart porn every day for seven months, you simply don't want to hear about how hot they think wet farts right next to their face is. Whether or not it was funny or interesting the first few times, it is NOT after the 210 times in a row! And any whatever excuse they use for you being "narrow minded" or "butthurt" about it doesn't help either. Since they just seem too thick to get through. Okay, that was one of my worse examples, but meh. Point being. Cupcakes has been milked to death nine times over. And it's not interesting or inovative when someone brings it up again, it's already been done, there's nothing creative with it, and gives off as much effort as posting a "U mad?" on 4chan. Everyone will surely find it hilarious and praise their wittiness and ingenuity. Being one that was there from the start. I see it as appealing as someone coming to the revelation that they can have ... lets see... something generic... their hot dog in a bread, then add ketchup. And treating this like it is fucking awesome and amazing. Like... yes... that is you taking a hot dog, adding it to a bread, then applying ketchup... that is the standard fucking way to make a hot dog. Why are you acting like you are something or that people are stupid when they point this out? And gah, went into a ramble again xD But as said, the one I read was different, since Pinkie was her own victim, she showed some sort of actual personality, and she had a spine, she dared to take what she dished out. It was a hotdog that flayed itself and made the bread wear it's skin.

@Kipper: (Water bear) I heard of those years ago ;3

... also, I am totally not talking about you behind your back in PM's, totally not.

There's no such thing as an "un-jam button". You have to work the action to eject the faulty round, ensure that a new round is chambered and, if applicable, press the forward assist to guarantee that the bolt locks.

[Ironmonger]

On a semi-related subject concerning guns, the reason I suggested the AA-12 for ponies (at least I think I did so on here) is because the low-recoil system and high rate of fire make it very useful and easy to control, if a bit expensive to feed on full-auto and somewhat complex. Still trying to figure out how to make it work for ponies. If I can't do that, I'll just stick with the Saiga 12 idea, maybe the USAS-12.

[Valikdu]

There's no such thing as an "un-jam button".

Well, there's the 'forward assist' on the M-16.

@Valik: (Cupcakes)

Spoiler:

I didn't get most of this.
My original point was, have you found anything else on the Cupacake topic that was actually good? I found just one fic that I linked.

[CamoBadger]

Sure there is, it's called my internal rage button, which I press anytime there is a jam. It causes me to instantly begin cussing as I clear the jam

[Ironmonger]

If I remember right the addition of a forward assist on some platforms can cause problems, usually ergonomics. R.E.P.R. had that issue according to one guy.

[CamoBadger]

@Robo: (zebra thingamajig) If I'd found it the least bit interesting, I would have checked it out. But form I've read so far, it's far too generic+boring. Then again, I got bad memory, but I recall a "meh" reaction of it overall.

YESSSSS! Proof that I'm a poor writer Sweetie Belle

[Frost]

I mentioned the forward assist. Its purpose is to ensure that the bolt locks in place. This is a dedicated button on the M16, the charging handle on the AK doubles as one, and many firearms simply don't have one. It's not an un-jam button anymore than the power switch of a computer is the "computer button"

[RoboRed]

Nah. It's just because Kim automatically dismisses any rape of females as being overdone in FoE stories.

[Ironmonger]

This makes me think of those Tom Raper RV commercials I see on TV sometimes. hehehe I feel bad for laughing...

*Slaps*


Look at the first few chapters of my fic. When I look back on them, I had a terrible writing style in terms of format.
Don't shit on yourself, you're a decent writer and you'll only get better with time as long as you receive the constructive criticism required to grow.

Damn my knowledge! Everything looks like a reference to me.

but seriously, not a reference - like it even still though seeing as I did say in the corrupt a wish thread that one picture (the one without words over it) reminds me of Heavy Weapons Guy.

[Ironmonger]

Not sure if you were being serious but you aint the only one with a weird face. I look really friendly (like "HI WHATS YOUR NAME") but the moment I drop my smile I look very angry, like I'm planning a bombing or something. I scare people sometimes, no joke.

[Kattlarv]

Firstly: On a totally related note: When I had a totally casual discussion about the vulva's natural lube, a male friend of mine was kind of all "Seriously? More lubricant? Are you women horny all day long?" before pointing out other mucus thingies like the nostril and mouth area is also constantly moist. I forgot where I was going with here, but eh, seems pretty accurate to the normal stuff we talk about xD

@Frost: There is now beatch! It's magic, we ain't need to explain shit xD

@Valik: That's totally fine, I sometimes don't even understand what I write ;D
As for anything "good", as said, the only I can think off off the back of my head, that I got a link too, is the one I helped proofread and poked a little at. I'm on FiMFiction as "Satch". Quite sure I promised not to link there due to the high amount of content now allowed to be shown near Sombers xP While not particularly good (I can say that quite accurately despite my inferiority complex I do think), it is unique in it's sense at least. Oh, and I wrote the parts with Gummy. Dat gator.

@Camo: Pish-posh. Then I'd actually have to read it for that to be even accurate xD I was given a resume of what happens, thus I cba to even read it. Been fed up with generic stuff like that this month already. (like the cupcakes rip-offs) Maybe if it had come in 1-2 weeks I could have checked possibly. As said, even found that well done Cupcakes animation that came out last year or something boring as fuck. Everything was so predictable from the start, nothing new or innovative, and nothing even managed to caught my interest. Kind of "popcorn movie style" if even that. Heck, the same even applies to the one clop flash I helped made and got a homage in. It is also the ONLY clop flash I have any relative interest in. (as a whole, there are some that were a bit interesting) But it is to that point I know EVERYTHING about it. And the part I hate about it kinda takes out the part I like, in addition to knowing it inside out. Cupcakes in the other hand is like that, but remove the part I like even. Seen it waaaaaaaay to many times, and didn't even like it from the start. So when it for the 7926'th time comes up again and tries to be all "awesome", I couldn't give less of a shit. If they'd been a slightest bit creative and swapped the characters, then that would have gotten my interest, since then it wouldn't be so bland. But not it's more or less slowly filling a checklist of stereotypical and generic things as they pop up. Only thing that made it even watch-able was the above average animation, and quite good song. Overall was barely useful for starting, swapping tab, then simply using it to play the song. (Or overall easier resume: It is like they now, while everyone is doing the gangamn style, someone goes in and starts to rick-roll or something. Acting like it is totally fresh and new. If it had come up some weeks, or even months after, then yes, would have had more creditability, but would still be a tad bit bland. When it came out now was more or less a bit of a "Look mom! I'm doing that thing everyone else is!" when the poor kid in school manages to get a gameboy, when all others have recently got the new gameboy advanced... And I am on a ramble today, sorry.

@Robo: Nah, not all, just much. And same goes for about all other overused tropes or whatever they are called. And in this case it was a bit of a checklist that just concluded itself of 1-3 pages with the little snippets of discussion about it I read. While on that roll, more or less saw it as "Okay, so I got this idea. - Go on... - We have Pinkie Pie... [X] going crazy [X], kidnapping ponies into her secret basement... [X] then she starts killing poinies... to, stay with me here: [X] and makes them into cupcakes! [X] Isn't that an interesting story concept?" I'm just way too parched on boring, repetitive stuff like that right now to bother with it. From what I read, nothing pointed towards being like that. Just seeming another commonly used storyline with little seeming chance of something interesting going on. Augh... I really hit the floor of my mood today, too much to reply to xD And it started with actually managing going to the dentist without my usual minor freak outs, was actually calm. Then stuff happened, and my dad was a bit frustration part doing a "We'll do it later. Just give it a minute. Don't go there, come with me into this store first, I don't need your help, so just walk next to me. We'll do this first ok? I swear, it goes faster to spend 30 min driving from where we just were to this place only I need to go to, to then drive back to the place you could just have walked across the street to go look do some shopping, since if I'd drop you off now, I wouldn't be able to go inside and find you, and I only have your phone number. And now we just have to... oh hey! Look at the time. We have to go home now, you wouldn't have had time to shop anyhow, we only did things that took 4 hours in which none of you needed to be near me in." and man I am on a ranty mood. I do that way too often when I sacrifice to Khorne hehe.

@Kipper: Oh, we are talking about you back, but technically more in the "gossip" way than the "slander" way, or whatever it is called.
On a side note, oh: You know fully well what you did. xD

@Iron: Oh yeah, on a side note, since I don't think you replied: Which version of my OC did you use, and for what? xP And there's not really that much info out on her. (it was you yes? Or who was that now again? Derp derp)

[Ironmonger]

@Kim I don't know which versions of your OC I used but I thought Dewflower was a nice name and she looked pretty. :P Any info on her would be nice. Sometimes I forget to reply to things.

No I don't.
Think about it - the amount of things I do, the stuff I say - all of it seems normal to me.
I can't figure out what I did because nothing I can think of seems anything special.

Wow...that's quite the rant there.
I do agree on most of it, and I tried to make it at least a little different, but apparently I failed.
Oh well, guess I'll need to change things.

But yeah, I agree on the repetitiveness of a lot of things, especially 'grimdark' stories who try to copy off of Cupcakes. I hated the original, probably because I read it before it got editted, and even with editing it is probably awful, because the story was just bad in my mind. So I don't read them, at all.
Same goes for 'The Conversion Beurue' (yes I know it's spelled wrong, but I can't even get close enough for spell check) stories that all seem to follow the same story. There are many other things that anger me about those stories as well, but that would drag us too far off topic.

[Kippershy]

Unless you're talking about the whole suicide thing...
hm...

Probably not that though.


Seriously Kim, I can't figure out >.>

Dude, I don't think Somber mentioning the forums getting scary was you at all. If I remember correctly, it was other people (possibly including myself) that made it scary.
Don't worry yourself, mmmkay? <3

Oh, I highly doubt that he was talking about you there.

I suppose I'll have to take both of your words for it...

Ah, good old artist's perfectionism.

It's only "perfectionism" if there isn't something actually wrong.
