Imposter syndrome describes Twilight's own complex of phobias almost perfectly.

Hmm? That sounds interesting. What is it?

It's essentially this unshakeable neurotic belief that you're just a gigantic fake who's gotten this far in life completely by accident, you're loaded down with respect you don't deserve and trust you can't live up to, and if anyone finds out you're not really as competent as you seem to be you'll suffer for it.

...

I need to go think about some things.

Oooh, a dA link sig, how original.

That actually describes Twilight really well.

People like Coldplay and voted for the Nazis. You can't trust people.

You know, it's kind of funny how Button's Mom has become the fandom's new sex symbol.

There is a tumblr about an insane thread about ponies.

Well, she's always believed in her friends, so they'll work as a stableizing influence.

I'm sorry to say, you've been eaten by a Grue.

Think you have it? It's surprisingly common for people to feel that they are just fumbling through life where everyone else knows what they are doing. Don't worry about it too much. You will probably find that most of your friends and colleges think this too to some degree.

I knew this would happen. I have no idea what she looks like, but I just had a feeling people would latch on to her.

does remind of a certain Tumblr pone.

Also, got back from my new campus' orrientation and got a Macbook Pro!

The problem is that it ONLY works the internet at their building, NOT at home.

So, no high speed flash gaming for me!

You got a computer for going to your orientation?! Damn, son! I wish I got something like that. All I got was a little flash drive and a pencil.

There isn't really anything special about Button's Mom.

Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.

#390210 King Kix Mon, 12th Aug '13 12:56:52 PM from Hyrule, Krypton

More like signing up and then taking an English test on the same Macbook, THAT CAN'T PLAY GAMES ON THE INTERNET BECAUSE IT CAN'T FUGGIN' ACCESS IT!

It's like getting a Super Nintendo that only works at your worst friend's house.

@dark: Button's mother (no real name has been given to my knowledge) is an earth pony about the same size and build as the Mane 6. she has a light brown mane, a cream-colored coat, and blue eyes. her cutie mark is an upright baby bottle with a pink heart behind it.

Doesn't that describe all of the ponies?

I've started writing the fourth fic in my series while I'm still early in my third. Trying todecide if I should have the aftermath of Shiny and Cadance's engagement as a prologue or a flashback.

I'll concur that Sereg is awesome, but what does his dislike of Life & Times have to do with it? - Midnight Rambler

I honestly think it's the voice.

It sounded pleasant, yes. Then again, Eile Monty is fairly great with voice talent in general so it's no surprise.

@dark: it also might have something to do with her relatability, since she was as much of a nerd in her youth as her son.

on this note: a new exploitable has arrived.

That did raise a bit of a plothole for me. If she's speaking that made up language, presuambly its from a long running video game series. But the videogames they had in her day were like Pong.

It's surprisingly common for people to feel that they are just fumbling through life where everyone else knows what they are doing.

Are paranoia that your friends only invite you places because you're the only one with a car, that when people compliment your work they're only doing so because they're polite and/or have low standards/poor taste, and that you're unqualified for jobs you intellectually know a trained monkey could do also common?
