Unfortunately, Connie, I can't find the image. It used to be on ponibooru, and as far as I can tell no one has uploaded it to derpibooru.

Journalism is just a gun. It's only got one bullet in it, but if you aim right, that's all you need.

I love body horrors, except when it involves skin deformities, like maggots coming of skins and all.

That is why I love Necromorph's character designs so much. I haven't really played it, though. I hate jump scares.

Let the gratuitous fanservice and zaniness be purged.

When you were 9?! Cripes! I didn't see that until I was 20!

Did you ever read Anatomy of Desire? It will make you cling to your skin.

But if they ever made one of those "in 5 seconds" of John Carpenter's The Thing, it would just be a clip of him saying, "You gotta be fucking kidding."

@Drenius: That Iron Will picture is glorious.

I quite agree.

But I should not have brought up Anatomy of Desire, cause now I'm afraid to touch anything.

The problem with skin is that it's everywhere.

@ Connie: You're talking about the John L'Heureux short story, right? I've not read it, but I have heard of it.

I don't have to worry about that because I rarely touch horror anything. The exceptions are H.P. Lovecraft and the SCP Foundation.

I like Iron Will, especially because of his girly taste.

@Dren: Yeah, that's the one.

"He walked around on his skinned feet, leaving bloody footprints up and down the corridors, looking for someone to love him."

(shudder)

Plus, do you know the story of Marsyas? It's one of those myths that they don't teach you in school.

I always thought Lyra was pronounced Leera.

Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.

#281913 condottiera Tue, 11th Sep '12 6:22:56 PM from Chicago

No, a "lyre" is a kind of harp that sounds like "liar."

"Lyra" comes from that.

Plus, Lyra Silvertongue.

Yeah, I've read the story of Marsyas. They never taught it in class, but I read a lot of Greek mythology as a child. I must've had two or three books of Greek myth growing up.

Me, too.

But I have already stated my preference for Norse Mythology.

It is so cool.

Lyra. Reminds me of Lyrebirds.

Wait.

If Unicorns have lots of nobility, wouldn't it be heavy for them to haul massive amounts of bits? (Yes I know thy can hire servants and such)

@Orion: bits not heavy? What kind of metals are they made of, aluminum? I know for a fact Alum isn't easy to process. Also we didn't discover the trick to refining Alum from cinnabar ore until a few hundred years back.

@Condo: Earth Pony magic? Magic still has to give Physics at least an honorary nod unless you're willing to burn vast amounts of power. (Also the bits look to have a high Gold/Brass content, and Gold is a heavy metal.)

Twi would disagree :P Clarke's Third Law in reverse, magic sufficiently analysed is basically a science, as Agatha said.
