I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

Nopony's ever died on my watch, which is a hell of a lot better than any other guide can claim.

Every single other guide has had someone die? That sounds rather improbable.

Either that or they go through very dangerous areas.

Babysit? That reminds me. Do Griffons hatch from eggs?

Also, I just finally finished the next update of my fanfic if anyone is interested in that.

Heh, I just learned that Dr. Cabelleron was US Nappa and JP Ahuizotl was JP Nappa. The DBZ has been doubled! grin

My new SFW blog. Does anyone know how to turn a blog into an ask blog?

well, if rainbow dash and the daring do double dare is any indication, there's some sort of gateway to some sort of realm of spirits, though it can only be accessed one day of every season. It's vague as to what exactly it is.

Still wouldn't be likely unless they were all verterans of the buisness apart from Gilda.

Well I've finally gotten around to watching AT again.

Just got to the Party God. I like how Jake was trying to put ice cream in his toaster.

@Wryte At the general tendency of askblogs being featuring cynical and whiny characters. Typically with the "Discorded" justification, Discording apparently turning everyone into generic assholes.

I don't really follow many ask blogs, so I can't really say.

If I did do one, (which I can't, because I can't draw that well) it would be mostly humorous.

@Story: I'm watching "The Real You" right now. A castle made of spit is never a good gift, Finn. And Bubblegum is cute in casual-wear.

the only ask blogs i follow are hilarious (Ask the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Ask Kingdom Hearts, Blindfolds Were So Last Season, etc.)

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

My advice on an askblog... unfortunately, is to get a gimmick. Like, give something obvious for people to latch on and ask questions about. That will give you an initial push, and from there you can get a sense of creative feedback from the questions, and feed that into building character elements. Reveal some stuff that isn't necessarily related to ther questions being asked to give people more to work on.

Eventually, you can start building into arcs. In my experience, those tend to give people lots of ammo, even if it's not necessarily in the direction you're looking for - it'll at least give you some ideas for new arcs, or stuff to do in the downtime between arcs.

If you're interested, you can take a look at my blog, Ask Hoops and Dumbbell, to get a sense of what I mean. I started with basically a gimmick on two pretty blank-slate characters, and built characterization and worldbuilding ontop of it from there.

Well, Finn's hand vs. worms. That was interesting.

Yeah, a given blog needs something to make it memorable and stand apart from the glut of other blogs out there.

Just saw the Tart Toter's speech. It makes even less sense in context then it did when I originally saw it.

Concerning Pinkie's behavior in Filli Vanilli, I had the thought that she may have been acting out due to being jealous of Fluttershy herself. I noted this quote of hers near the beginning: "You'll be there on stage, basking in the hooflights! The center of attention! A shining star! Everypony staring at you, judging you, jealously noting how they could be way better than you? Why wasn't it them? Why wasn't it them?" At first I thought it was odd that she would mention other ponies being jealous of Fluttershy, but then I realized that it's because Pinkie herself is jealous. Especially considering that in the episode right beforehand, Pinkie was upset because she hated that there was another party pony stealing her spotlight and getting the attention she was used to having herself. And on top of that, Fluttershy was reluctant to do something that Pinkie herself would love to do, probably making Pinkie annoyed and she may have been thinking "How can you NOT want that chance to be in the spotlight when I would love to be there myself?!"

But that's what makes it so memorable. It's a gainax ending, even by the show's standards.

I highly suggest that you all read the "Ask Grimdark Big Mac" tumblr. It's kind of a parody of the aforementioned blogs Lum mentioned, where Big Mac attempts to do "Evil" things, but ends up doing Poke the Poodle stuff at the worst and cute stuff at best. It's pretty damn funny.
