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!

Star says:

I deserve as much pity as you do.

What is this, a contest?

Not that I don't sympathize with your situation, Star, but you need to put things in perspective. I'll leave it at that because if I say everything that's on my mind right now, I'll get thumped but HARD.

Who wrote that post of the day? It's a pretty interesting plot bunny.

Okay, chapter is done. It's kind of short but at least it's advancing the plot.

Call me privileged on the matter, but I don't think Pity is something to aspire to.

Regardless, it's getting a bit dour in here, hmm? Let's think about something a bit more cheerful...

Season 5 is supposed to have an episode about the loss of the Library, which is a bit saddening, but I find myself wondering how they'll offset it? Lessons about loss aren't terrible, but in this context Twilight can move on, so I wonder how they'll deal with that? Her getting used to the new castle? Trying to find copies of her old books, but settling on getting some new ones instead(Possibly ponies from around town donating books for a 'new' library)?

Come to think of it, Twilight would be the sort who'd want the castle to be as public as possible, so converting part of it into a public library might make for a fun plot itself. Trying to get something like that started, perhaps finding a rather... limited amount of books to pull from at first.

@Marq: I have no idea. You could stick a lot of stuff there and it would work. Pretty much any generic phrase involving "friendship" could work. Like "Friendship Adventures" or something.

Also, can we not turn the thread into a pity party? I'm aware that life can suck sometimes, but it has a tendency to snowball and make everybody end up feeling worse. I totally understand the desire to vent, but sometimes it feels like the "X horrible thing is going on in my life" posts make up as much of this thread as ponies do, and I doubt that they really make things much better anyway.

Anyway, looks like Irish Zombie is up next.

@Kegisak: She could loot all the books from Celestia and Luna's old castle. That would make for a good start. And it's not like a lot of ponies really used the library as a library anyway.

Worse. Trying to find a new copy of this one book that she liked reading, but it's out of print, and it's so rare that nobody she knows has a copy.

Basically, something that's gone forever.

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...

Oh and I found a new D&D group that's starting tomorrow.

My idea as a joke is that Twi uses a time spell to periodically read her books at night when her other self is sleeping, with Spike being freaked out one night getting a midnight snack when he sees her older self as an alicorn. She casually explains that the library will get blown up one day, so she's just doing some light reading in the past.

It's why he was asleep and out of the way when she was using the cm spell and when Tirek was attacking. He knows things will turn out alright, and follows her advice to just not worry about it.

I hope they don't. It introduces too many plot holes and cheapens the impact.

[up]Hence the "as a joke". tongue

Thought Twilight does seem like the type to have copies. If anything will freak her out, it's her first editions.

I dunno, I kinda feel like Twilight would feel equally bad about any book being lost.

I dunno; her love for books as an object seems to be a bit exaggerated by the fandom. She seems to care more about the books in terms of the information they contain rather than for their own sake. If she liked the books themselves, she wouldn't treat her books nearly as roughly as she does in the show. That's why I think first editions would bother her more than others. If another book gets wrecked, big deal, she finds another copy. First edition, finding another one will be hard. Really, the worst thing she lost is probably her notes.

Well, that's kinda what I was thinking though: Each book lost is one vessel of that knowledge lost. Maybe it's just me, but I don't see a First Edition as being really special over other copies except in a kind of arbitrary way.

I've got another Pathfinder tomorrow, too, assuming our GM isn't feeling sick anymore. :/
