Eh, just one of those days where a feel a bit fabulous. Not exactly narcissism, but a weird boost of self-confidence that happens from time to time. Reminds me of a few months ago where I took random headshots for no apparent reason.
This is one of those shots. I had a ton of hair a few months ago.
I've only seen little bits of Ed Edd And Eddy, but I don't really 'get' it.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlaySo I finally finished up the third season of Red Dwarf. The new look took some getting used to, but it's still hilarious.
Reaction Image RepositoryI thought of an idea for an Earth pony villain, since earlier in the thread someone mentioned the idea of having the season 5 opening villain be an Earth pony. In this story, Diamond Tiara gets ahold of a magic evil tiara that enhances her Earth pony plant powers. She is angry at Apple Bloom for not only beating her in that contest to be in the Equestria Games opening ceremony, but also because Apple Bloom isn't responding to the "blank flank" insult the way she used to (as shown in Flight to the Finish). With her Earth pony powers enhanced, she can now take revenge on Sweet Apple Acres by making all their apples rot! Or maybe all the plants in Ponyville! Because with her new powers, she will make it so that she is the only one who can grow good crops and she will control all the food supply!
Yeah, that would probably not be too likely and it would be kind of a retread of the Trixie plotline in Magic Duel, but that's kind of what inspired it, thinking "what would an Earth pony villain do with an item similar to the Alicorn Amulet?" Also, the reason she could use her Earth pony powers to make the fruits rot is because the same power that lets the plants grow faster would also speed up the fruits' ripening process, and after fruits ripen, they then become over-ripe and start rotting. Diamond Tiara was who I thought of in regards to an Earth pony villain, since she already IS an established "villain" in the CMC stories and kind of has a rivalry/antagonism relationship with them, but a new Earth pony villain could work as well.
If you want to focus on Earth pony abilities (strength and plant stuff) and place in society as a basis for a villain, then yeah, stopping crops and/or making the land go arid is an idea.
Probably better than the other roue, which would be a bit like an evil Hulk Hogan wrestling his way into the White House.
Wait, would that be such a bad idea for a story?
I have a message from another time...I think DT would be more likely to take over the farm by exploiting the Apple's complete lack of buisness skills. She probably wouldn't be interested in actually running it though.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayThe idea of Hulk Hogan turning evil and trying to wrestle the president out of office is made of win.
Red Dwarf does have a depressing premise, but the execution keeps it from dipping too far in that direction. It helps that none of the cast members are very attached to anyone, so the whole "only humans alive" thing doesn't really affect them the way it would most people. Not that there aren't sad moments when they reflect on what they've lost; but for the most part their attitudes are "well, life wasn't that great before, anyway. Might as well make the most of it."

Wryte: I knew I would be, but I had to get it out, anyway. I really should've done it right after the episode, but it's pretty hard to find motivation when the universal response is "loltraditional".
