Whenever I hear the song and think about what it really means, it upsets me a small amount. The beauty of the song cheers me up, but I still feel a little sad.
I'm so messed up -sigh-

Organ Trail is a lot of fun. I overestimated my supplies, and ran out of everything. Someone in the car got hit by a stray bullet and remained incapacitated for the last half of the journey.
Now to try again.

I made it. Seer, Felix and Tinker are all safe and sound.
Sadly, Charmer had to be put down because she was infected, sick with measels, and I was out of food.
And of course Shayle went and got lost somehow.

Re: [Official!] Project Horizons Comment Crew Chat thread.
I've figured out my issue!
I've figured out why I'm such a spaz as of late, also what's slowing down my writing so much and making me feel so crap.
I'm lonely.
I don't usually feel loneliness. I don't care for it and don't know what it's like. I used to, way back when, but then I stopped.
and now it's back, and I'm lonely.
Fuck.

I'm afraid I don't have a good way of solving that particular problem... either I don't need social interaction or the internet is good enough for me.

Hugz?
Wait, possible solution. Does your domicile allow for kittens?

second: what kind of loneliness is it, if you can pinpoint it any further? is it the want of friends offline? want of romance? or just general companionship? (in that case getting a cat might be a good idea if your domicile allows it as Sindri suggested)

I tried it and named the people after you guys.
Within five minutes I had put Kipper down, and Caiohme had both contracted measles, dysentery, all the while making annoying noises.

Re: [Official!] Project Horizons Comment Crew Chat thread.
I got banned from making youtube comments for daring to dislike (with constructive criticism) that horribly paced, terribly melodramatic goffikfairygirl diary entry of a pony fanimation, Snowdrop. I mean, it's neat that they accomplished what they set out to do and the characters and backgrounds are pretty but... this fandom, geez.
Good to see I survived the measles though!

Re: [Official!] Project Horizons Comment Crew Chat thread.
It would seem if you don't post about how you bawled for 14 minutes you'll be called a disrespectful hater.
I imagine these people that did bawl for 14 minutes must contemplate suicide when they find out that credit card junkmail does not infact contain free money.

Re: [Official!] Project Horizons Comment Crew Chat thread.
Here's mine:
Mostly I focus on the story (which made me cringe) and Snowdrop as a character (who also made me cringe).
- Snowdrop Review:
***WARNING WARNING WARNING, NEGATIVE REVIEW INCOMING***
It hurt to watch. The premise was good, but I personally believe it was pulled off badly.
As far as Snowdrop goes as a character:
They tried way too hard to make her "cute", and it ended up being grating and annoying. The number of shy-cute characters that exist, especially in this fandom, is ridiculous, and them adding on another was horrible. To me, she basically seemed like a blind version of Fluttershy:
- She was way too shy and quiet.
- She talked EXACTLY the same way.
- She was picked on for not being able to do anything right.
I'm fine with Fluttershy's character (somewhat), but if you're going to make an original character, it's generally inadvisable to copy a canon character to the letter. The only difference was that Snowdrop was blind and different colors.
The premise of the story I didn't mind, but the delivery was... pathetic.
Yes, I know they only made it 15 minutes long, but even in the time they had it was poorly executed.
Introduce shy main character, okay, that's fine, that's how a story should start. Give her a problem, okay, good job (ignoring that they made her the incredibly overused 'shy-girl with no friends'). Have her sitting outside sad and not knowing what to do...and then... have her all of a sudden know what to do because of a flashback? Yes, flashback is sometimes good for stuff. In this situation, it would have been good if her mother had passed away or something, but her mom was alive. They could have just had her mother come out to comfort her and not even bother with the damn flashback. It was just a pointless addition designed to further 'cutsey' the character who was already giving me hives. Then our character discovers her solution and does it, great job, you've followed the outline of a proper story! And now she shows up and gives a... horrifically written and forced speech that shoves the moral of the story into your face so hard I think it broke my nose. Yes, that is how MLP usually does it, but it does it in the form of a letter, making it easier to take and get the message. But (be honest), when was the last time somebody her age actually had thoughts so deep they could deliver that speech without even planning a little bit of it ahead of time?
And the ending. Once again suspending belief that Luna and Celestia even remember who Snowdrop was (apparently they have some of the worst selective memory of ALL TIME), it was painful to watch. Not in the 'oh it was so sad it hurt' kind of way; no, it was in the 'they tried so hard to make it sad I wanted to pull my eyes out' kind of way.
Now that that's out of the way, I know why it hurt me so bad: It's a perfect example of why you DON'T make a story around a lesson or a theme. You make the story around the CHARACTER so it will actually flow naturally. They wanted to make their point and tell this story, so they created Snowdrop to fit into their little play instead of making the story around her like you're supposed to.
Okay, rant over, I hope I didn't ruin it for anyone. (Honestly, that's not my goal, I just had to vent after watching... whatever the fuck that was)

I saw a post about that on EqD. I got as far as 'blind pegasus who talks to Celestia and changes the course of equestrian history and also invents winter or something' before I lolnope'd out of there.Caoimhe wrote:I got banned from making youtube comments for daring to dislike (with constructive criticism) that horribly paced, terribly melodramatic goffikfairygirl diary entry of a pony fanimation, Snowdrop.

Mostly I focus on the story (which made me cringe) and Snowdrop as a character (who also made me cringe).
You pretty much nailed my points. I went into how it completely violated the 'show-don't-tell' rule in just about every way/shape/form and the voice acting was so obviously amateur and continually dropped diction.
It also overused flat/dull pantone coloured OCs like that even worse fan animation a while back (seriously, why do fans love the most off colour OCs compared to how pretty and pastel the show is?). You could also obviously tell which background characters were background characters and which were guest shots of ma frennzzz.
That ending, though. Holy cow, give us an overlong intro with excessive flowery language to overobscure the theme and then give a weird as fuck pointless melodramatic death ending with only scant amount of time to let us get to know the main character. Ughh
You can tell it was entirely animated in sequence (a huge mistake in visual directing) because the classroom scene contained the most visual detail and the least plot then everything else after is either one character monologuing or flatponies in a row.
Then ban everyone who doesn't weep like a child at your livejournaly projectings. Preposterous!

The ending is 1000 years later or whatever after she died. I really don't see what they were getting at with it, though. Snowdrop made 1000 years worth of snowflakes or something?

Re: [Official!] Project Horizons Comment Crew Chat thread.
Yes, it threw show-don't-tell out the window and instead went for using character exposition to explain every little tiny detail as quickly as possible.
Honestly, I don't know why off-color OC's are so popular. I have to constantly go into the pony creator to mock up the color's I want to use so I know they'll fit. If they don't, I refuse to use the colors because it looks ridiculous, I like matching colors and complementary colors.
And I know nothing about animation or creating actual visuals and filmings or whatever, so I'll leave that to you.
And yes, how dare anybody say anything bad about this obviously flawless and inspirational story! They must be daft!

- FUCK THIS! I'm gonna wake Frost up and tell him to get his ass over here, then we'll take power klaws, go into that fucking classroom and tear every single one of those little shits a new asshole for being horribly colored and terribly voice. NONE. SHALL. SURVIVE.
