Silverblade5 he/him Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Anyone else ever heard of a story called "The Powers of Harmony?" http://www.fimfiction.net/story/24125/the-powers-of-harmony
Sunbird she/her Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 @Quiver I personally prefer her New 52 costume, mostly because I love the strange cape and boots.
Edgedancer he/him Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 @Quiver Tell me more about this werewolf. Anyway, that red plating just kind of breaks the deal for me, as does that the boots specifically have a hole for the knees. 4 hours ago, Cognizantastic said: I feel like a skaa.

Zathoth Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 DAE: "Zathoth I wrote a poem, wanna narrate it for my youtube channel?" Zathoth: "... sure, why not?" Spoiler So then this happened. I may have overdone the David Tibet impression just a little...
Quiver he/him Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 Does anyone have any advice on getting go sleep? Been a little insomniac lately and, well...not a quality one wants when they are doing a 12 hour night shift.

Sunbird she/her Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 @Quiver I remember reading somewhere that playing on your phone before bed messes with the body's ability to sleep peacefully, so maybe try avoiding that? I suppose you could talk to your doctor about getting some medication to help you sleep... Just be aware that some of those sleeping pills can have weird side effects. I've heard multiple pharmacy employees tell stories about patients who got up in the middle of the night and cooked whole meals or broke into their neighbors' houses to make PBJ sandwiches once they started taking Ambien--all while asleep!
Mistrunner Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) On 8/17/2016 at 1:16 PM, TwiLyghtSansSparkles said: Mistakes I expected. More of the same, and new ones even, but for the new installment to violate previously established canon? I expect that of amateur fanfic writers, not an officially sponsored play. But more than that, CC is just lacking in the charm that made it so easy for me to gloss over the original series' mistakes. It doesn't feel like a continuation of the story, it feels like a bad fanfic. If CC had the charm and the lovable characters of the original, I wouldn't be here tearing it apart. I'd point out its mistakes, sure, but I wouldn't have given it the dreaded one-star review. I think one of the greatest triumphs of the original series was the characters. Rowling created very unique, very human characters that people fell in love with. They were the reasons I could ignore the plot holes and occasional bad writing. I wanted to know what would happen to them next. In Cursed Child, we hardly know the main characters. There's some familiar faces, but beyond that, it feels alien- very different from the books. What made the Harry Potter series was the people it was about. A spinoff with new characters was never going to be as good. Of course, that's just my opinion. Edited August 19, 2016 by Mistrunner 2
The Honor Spren she/her Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 The weirdest thing happened to me today. I was at diving lessons (in my whole 13 years since we moved to Florida, I'm finally learning how to dive) and my teacher was trying to get me to do a back peel. I'm irrationally scared of that, since it's just standing on the edge of the board and falling backwards. Then I mentioned that I still wasn't very good at a front fall, so he let me do that. I was still shaken up from my near death escape (or at least that's what it felt like) and when I started to come off the board, it looked like the water wasn't even there. I completely forgot where I was in midair, and I still didn't see the water until my face hit it in a flailing mess. I'm still not completely sure what happened. But I reeeeaaally hope that will never happen while I'm learning to drive.

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 Great moments in TV Tropes history: When a user sent me a PM telling me that my recent edit for the Cursed Child YMMV page went against indentation policy. Instead of fixing it themselves, which would have been as difficult as deleting a single asterisk. Yeah. I smell a disgruntled fan of the play. 1

You know, countless pages of discussions and edit wars over things like "should there be "the" in the title of that thing?". Hardcore editors treat such things not lightly. You had to be informed of your mistake... xD Being a fan or not probably has nothing do to with it.

I did ask this edit warrior why they didn't just change it themselves. No response as of yet.

We don't think too much about things because it destroys the lie we're all pretending to believe. 1
