Camaraderie is a magnificent thing.

It is supernatural.

Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.

d Roy, you and Steve should talk.

Yeah, one thing I like about his ridiculously dark interpretation of the series is that, for all the violence and psychological trauma in the backstory, his violent and foul-mouthed versions of the Mane Six are still inseparable friends.

like a goth girl or...Fluttershy

Now I want to see the goth phase Fluttershy went through in high school.

That would be running a punchline into the ground.

Should I nickname Aerobat The Flying Fox

?

This show really helps me out in the camaraderie department, though. It's one of the reasons I like it so much.

I just can't make friends in Real Life. :P

You guys and the ponies won't judge me.

dRoy, you and Steve should talk.

There is a reason why he is my favorite liveblogger. XP

By tomorrow, me or this mission, one of this shall be finished.

I quite enjoy odd features in all life! Makes them more interesting, and adds character!

@ keg

That's a great theory! Can I borrow it?

@ librarian

They'd find a way.

@ Meta

Fluttershy the goth? Yes please!!!

My social skills have vastly improved upon entering college. Whether if watching MLP:FIM has anything to do with it or not, I can't tell.

But really, it just boils down to The Golden Rule.

I think this show is kind of teaching me social skills, too. I've been better than I used to be. I am better at talking to people.

I talked to this girl in choir a few weeks ago, and she asked me if I wanted to eat with her and her friends in the cafeteria and I almost cried like a stupid little bitch because that's never happened to me before. I wanted to tell her how much it meant to me that she said that, but I couldn't think of a way of saying it without sounding creepy.

Of course, as it goes, beauty and other such things are in the eye of the beholder, so it's difficult to gauge who would or would not find something scary, or funny, or attractive, or just interesting.

#317814 Super Gex Sun, 16th Dec '12 2:50:46 PM from A DECREPIT ROCK

I'm not sure if liking this show has made me more or less of a jerkass. Though, I am more accepting of different ideas and opinions now than since I joined the fandom.

C'MON AND SLAM! AND WELCOME TO THE JAM!

#317815 Applelight Limited Sun, 16th Dec '12 2:51:30 PM from Manehattan to Canterlot

I'd be worried about people claiming that Batty is a Marty Sue, on account of his unique appearance. There is a very important reason for it though.

@ con

Ahh, that's so sweet!

It probably went like with Haley.

You mean like this?

Thinking about it as more than a joke, I think Fluttergoth wouldn't be perky or rebellious, but genuinely depressed.

That would be running a punchline into the ground.

#317819 Applelight Limited Sun, 16th Dec '12 3:01:51 PM from Manehattan to Canterlot

That's true...and kind of sad.

Try to make him not look over-the-top, and make him look interesting, too.

Fluttershy kind of depresses me in a way that makes me laugh.

I tried explaining this to my mom the other day, about how sad stories can make you happy, and she just said that I sounded like a sociopath.

Well, it's just the reason why the blues is so successful as a genre.

And why "The Worst Days" by Havalina Rail Co. helped me get through one of the worst weeks of my life.

That would be running a punchline into the ground.

#317823 Kalloon White Sun, 16th Dec '12 3:07:21 PM from A pond in a lake

Inevitably, there are going to be jerks who cry out Sue or Stu or whatever, but as long as you make a genuinely interesting character, they will be a minority.

Thanks guys.

This, basically. As long as you balance out the uniqueness with (interesting) flaws, you should be fine.
