There's a pony for that. http://www.fimfiction.net/story/62074/Friendship-is-Optimal

I'll try to get around to reading that as well. I've seen it before, and noted it for being the only story in the folder 'Compendium of Highest Honors' in the SCI group on FiMFiction (one that, basically, reviews scientific feasibility of science fiction ponyfics) apart from my own.

[Kippershy]

That was a fucking wonderful episode.

[RoboRed]

Indeed.

[Kippershy]

I was especially excited about this episode for two reasons:

Spoiler:

[Cptadder]

Moving discussion over here, the question arises exactly how much control Luna has over dreams. Is Luna a Freddy Kruger Dream Warrior, a WoT Dreamer? A 15th level Wizard using a Telepathy spell with an Astral Jaunt thrown in?

Also is she Omnipresent in the dream world? Is there a guard watching over her sleep form in Canterlot or is she walking around and talking while communicating with Scoots?

the episode just brings up so many more questions involving Luna, I expect we'll get some generally agreed upon fanon by tomorrow, at the very lastest the end of next week

My fanon is that she goes into a meditative state to do this. Perhaps not requiring even five minutes of preparation, but she'd still need focus for the actual connection.

But she wasn't "messing" with her. I took it that she goes around destroying nightmares and helping ponies get over them.

Also, I loved this episode! Rainbowdash wasn't a total and complete ass! ^_^

Notice the quote marks. "messing" != messing.

[iLateralGX]

My fanon would be that Scootaloo is not special here, but that Luna visits every pony's nightmares to protect her subjects.

...so Luna has the ability to bring inanimate things to life, summon massive storms and lightning from nothing with no strain for mere dramatic effect, mass telepathy with the ability to sense when one of her subjects is in a time of stress. She definitely lives up to the title of goddess...

No no no. Clearly Luna knows that Scootaloo will be one of the main characters for the next generation of MLP and just how important she is.

Help, I'm starting to get burned out on these threads. I've been busier at work lately but I find less and less to contribute to lately. :(

Walk away for a week, easy method to get yourself interested again. Ignore things for a week (Or even a day) then slip right back in.
Burnout is over-exposure, stop exposing yourself.

A bitter, unlikeable loner whose passing shall not be moutned. Shall noat be mourned.

...
No, I'm not about to so omwetinhgf stupid. I'll just keep doing thinfds that I'm good at. I'm content with this.

[Kippershy]

Valik, stop basing your sense of worth on who you can or can't get. That's god damn idiotic and shallow.
I'm not having a go at you, just trying to encourage you here.

So what if some slutty girls didn't give you their number, do you really want anything from them besides ten minutes of pleasure?
No?
Thought not.

Your hand will do the same job for much less hassle and much more ease. Yes, it's never quite the same, but it does the same thing at the end of the day.

What would happen if you had gotten some slutty girl to be yours? Remember, she's slutty and the only reason you're interested in her is looks and her the same (if she was to give it to you.) -- that's no recipe for a decent relationship.
It would last for a few weeks then end up getting you hurt if you get attached before realising it isn't working out.


What about a girl you meet organically though? Is that worth your self worth? No. Still not. Why not? Because it's not about YOU. It's not even about HER. It's about the circumstances.
You're worth more than what you can manage to get into, you're worth what you can do and what you have done, what you will do and what you would do.

You being worthless is a lie. You're a good person and you have talent.
It doesn't matter what you look like, how physically fit you are or who you can pull - it's about what you're capable of.


Don't sweat it. Really.

[Valikdu]

hEY, I'm not bashing my own sense of self-wottrh. I do important tings at work.
On the other hand, i"m more socially crippled thans Twilight is. And that's my own falut, not Blizzard, not anyone else's.
I've already learned to live with this defieicnety, but sometimes *lliek when I've had 9 galsses of wine) itr kinda okmes to the front.

Dat stroy is kind of different from everyhing else I;ve read. I don't rememver what "SCI" is rifht now, have to check.

[Valikdu]

That was a fucking wonderful episode.

K, I'll take your word for ity. have to find some means of procuring it.

[Valikdu]

Indeed.

[Valikdu]

dear god, you know what we'll be seeing a flood of now? ScootaloXRainbow Dash clop fics

Like there isn't a lot of these right NOW.

And there's also Rainbow Factory, where Rainbow Dash had some unhealthy obsession with Scoots and when Scoots failed her... he he he he heh...

[Cptadder]

That works for you?
The time I stopped for a week... I stopped for another week, then another, then someone asked me to come back...
Staying social is more difficult for the fundamentally antisocial :P

It works for me, I have dozens of things I pick up and put down again later. I walk away and when I come back everything old is new again.

@Kim
Is this a moo-hoo-ha moment? =P (Aside: I've always wanted to find that panel in which Spider Jerusalem does that, and never have I been able to)

@Scootasode
So much =D from this episode. Gonna re-watch it with some friends later today; looking forward to doing so.

@Burning out on threads
Dunno, I don't talk too much in them, 'cept when something strikes my interest (at which point I get downright chatty). Seems to work for me.

Describe me the face in question and the context and I may be able to retrieve it.

[Guest]

@Harmony Ltd.
Sadly, it's just another Spider face - it's just the fact that he's got a little speech bubble saying "Moo hoo ha" that made it extra-memorable. I'm actually in the process of searching through my copy once more, so no worries! Thanks, though!

[Harmony Ltd.]

Ah, okay.

Given I have a French copy, it would have been hard for me to find it, then.

It's hard enough for one who is. At least you make regular posts. I just lurk until something catches my interest.

[Caoimhe]

ACK I forgot there was new Pony today AND it was Scoots episode AND character development for bestpony AND Rainbow dash AND Luna invervention. AAAAAH!!!

Also, Sweebles had a voice crack that distorted the speakers on my Macbook Air, so holy shit amazing all around.

Regardless, CONTENT!

[Valikdu]

So I'm now reading a fanfic where the character is ALSO drunk.
...
Drunkception. TWOOOO
...
Although I'l almost sober now.

[Caoimhe]

Hydrate the shit out of yourself if you really had that much wine, makes for nasty ass hangovers if you're not careful.

(Also I swear in that episode Scoots had some turbo lag and compressor surge kick in at some point)
