Yeah, but, uh, you could at least try. Don't let the defeatists get you down!

Is it too late to retcon Sam and Revolution into swooning every time he walks into the room? We need all hands on deck!

THAT'S WHY IT WORKS. NIGHTHOUND IS THE ANTITHESIS OF SWEET, SO TOUCHING SOMETHING SWEET CAUSES HIM AND THE CANDY TO CANCEL OUT IN A BURST OF ENERGY. Murderlina's more of a Creepy McCreeperton than we thought.

All my life I've had two different kinds of dreams. There are first person dreams, in which I myself am wandering the dreamscape. Then there are the third person dreams, in which I watch the story unfurl like the expository narration at the beginning of a movie. Last night I had the latter kind; I dreamed of a science fiction setting two thousand years in the future. In this future the entire solar system has been colonized; people live on every moon and planet, but the majority of the population lives on board massive orbital space stations. When they talk of the history from before the colonization period, they call it "The Mud Age," as it was the sad, pitiful time when the entire human race lived on wet Earth. There was a new calendar system in use in the dream-verse, too. 1969 had been made the new Year 0, as it was the year in which the first human beings set foot on another planetary body. Under this calendar, the dream took place in the early 2000s, I was born in the year 27, and my parents were both born in the year 2. I am totally going to harvest this dream for my main setting.

CANDY. EVERYBODY LIKES CANDY. RED GETS A SNICKERS BAR, NIGHTHOUND CHOKES TO DEATH ON A PIECE OF FUDGE, EVERYONE WINDS UP HAPPY.

The 17th Shard is my social life. -
Making an Adventurer attack the one time in which Sam would desperately beg Funtimes to put her in the frilliest, poofiest dress possible.

I went as a lifeless nerd who stays at home and watches reruns of My Little Pony instead of trick-or-treating! Wait a minute.

Mother!

My mother and I spent today mapping the Mane 6 from MLP to their fitting Hogwarts houses. Twilight Sparkle couldn't be more Ravenclaw if she wore a blue raven on her head and spouted riddles wherever she went. At risk of stereotyping, her natural scholarly ways and drive to understand the universe--made most apparent in "Feeling Pinkie Keen"--make her classification as Ravenclaw a no-brainer. Fluttershy was also an easy one to sort, since Helga Hufflepuff was essentially the Potterverse's version of Fluttershy to begin with. Hufflepuff is the house for the meek and kind, adjectives which result in the above picture of Flutter's face if searched for in the dictionary. Honest without reservation, bold as a lion, proud to the point of boastfulness but never openly ambitious... Applejack seems the cast's best candidate for Gryffindor house. Rarity is a lot trickier, but we ultimately sorted her as a Slytherin of the Horace Slughorn variety. While generous and a much better pony than most of the Slytherins we see in the series, her lifelong ambition of making connections and soaring into high society give her the most in common with Slytherin of all the houses. ^ This mare is a Slytherin. Openly boastful of her own superiority, driven along her life's path by her Wonderbolt ambitions... could there be any other place for her? But one of the softer and more fundamental traits of Slytherin house is a fierce loyalty and love towards a tight inner circle, and the Element of Loyalty has these things in spades. Pinkamena Diane Pie, as usual, defies convention and takes up an entire class of her own. It's easy to imagine the Sorting Hat sitting upon her head, trembling for a long while as it senses the whimsy and phenomenal amount of sugar within, before finally bursting comically into flame until put out by the fire extinguisher the pink party pony inexplicably smuggled into the castle in her poofy mane. That said, we believe that the Sorting Hat, once extinguished, would cough and proclaim Pinkie to be Hufflepuff. Throughout MLP, Pinkie shows little regard for her own desires. All she wants out of life is to put smiles on the faces of everypony she encounters. In "Pinkie Pride" this is most apparent, as she willingly puts aside all of her own desires solely out of a desire to make Rainbow happy on her special day. Pinkie is the long-awaited burst of color for Hufflepuff house.

So I have something to strive for after all.

Fun fact: the only known witness to Nighthound winking is currently in a psychiatric hospital, screaming 24 hours per day. #factsthataren'tfunatall
-
I actually did consider a panel with Nighthound and Red together, but then I realized I'd find myself compelled to burn my laptop if I allowed such an image onto it.

In honor of Halloween, I have pony-Epicified a classic song from the timeless Nightmare Before Christmas. The resulting mangled abomination I have called... ... Making Epics. Enjoy.

Yes, mageia are gates. I think it's much simpler to just leave it at that then to have mageia be composed of entirely different building blocks of reality than everything else in creation. Ribosomes also make amino acids, and even with mageia the lumuoles would still need a way to create proteins within the cell. Mageia supply the energy, but ribosomes would be responsible for harnessing that energy and using it to create the physical structure of the cell.
-
No. Eukaryotic cells, like animal, plant, and protist cells, all have a nucleus that protects the DNA, but that doesn't mean that all cells have one. The most simple and primitive cells, like bacteria and archaeans, are prokaryotes. They don't have nuclei. Their DNA just sorts of floats, suspended in the middle of the cell but not protected by a specific structure. Since lumuoles wouldn't require all the infrastructure that makes normal cell operations possible, it makes the most sense to me that they'd be highly minimalist in design. Very small prokaryotes, just little sacks of DNA, ribosomes, and of course the all-important mageia.

Without the kiss? With Nathan in the room, I'm not sure that's the most plausible scenario. (To be fair, we don't know that Eleven never did stop by, once he'd gotten over his initial emotional breakdown. ) Would her tutu look something like this? Also.
-
There's no mention of her propping her foot on the table, so I must presume that this-- --is what she's doing. (Nathan is a descendant of the Ponds, hence the vibrant ginger hair and the fascination with the Doctor. )
-
Theory: Funtimes is a ballerina. Status: Confirmed.
-
Just went back and checked. There is no nucleus in a lumuole cell--I was very careful to demonstrate that.
-
I was thinking the DNA provides instructions for creating the magic organelles, but aren't inherently magical themselves. Also, lumuoles are prokaryotic cells. No nucleus.
-
Personally I think that taking the magic beyond the organelle level is unnecessary. The lumuole itself will almost certainly be the only level of magic used by creatures or sorcerer-types, and the mageia organelles exist solely to explain different colors of lumuole. Working down to the protein, amino acid, and quark levels is going waaaay overboard if you ask me.

The Good News Thread: I'm So Excited! And I Just Can't Hide It!

Oh sure, I wear torn jeans and it's raggedy and awful, but if Kurt Cobain wears the same thing it sparks a generation trend. That's fair. Does it cost a lot to maintain, or is it literally just raggedy clothing arranged in a specific way? -
