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!

But the show never really handled the subject of death. Showing a couple frames of a funeral scene does not count for that, especially when it's used for lighthearted comedic effect in an upbeat song about shipping.

Also, I should clarify that I didn't mean merely referencing the tragic elements, but putting them under the spotlight. It's the difference between having a pair of stars twinkling in the night sky and writing a chapter or two about Applejack grieving.

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

Eh, even then I think it's less that the elements are addressed and more how they're handled. An episode about AJ dealing with losing her parents but ultimately coming to terms with it wouldn't really feel "dark" to me if it were treated in a way consistent with what we've seen. A story about Applejack spiraling into depression after losing her parents would. It's really all up to interpretation, though.

EDIT: And now, sleep.

What if she spirals into depression before she comes to terms with it?

But you've probably already left, so...

Google DOES offer Fiber in the USA nowadays :P (Not all states, though)

Wish my city had Google Fiber. Oh well, Comcast is at least tolerable as long as you don't try to cancel your subscription.

Oh joy. More random mutilating of the setting to fit with the author's tract. You're not helping.

Well don't read it then. I really like it, but it's not for everyone. If you come into it expecting to hate it, you're probably going to hate it. Just like I'm never going to read Project Horizons.

I got wind elephant, which doesn't sound like something I'd like to be in a room with.

Peckish, but I don't really have anything to eat.

Well, except plain rice, but, well... boring.

Tabasco, but that doesn't really seem... I wouldn't have thought of it myself, at least.

Any other kind of sauce?

Or something to make fried rice with?

Is Fallout Equestria the only fanfic to have an actual book or are there other fanfics in general that are made into books(besides 50 shades of gray)?

I think there were printings of Methods as well. Though obviously not the whole thing as it's still ongoing.

Yeah Sera takes things a little too seriously sometimes.

I think they're stupid too, I just don't bother complaining usually.

"Wood Sheep"? Celestia damn it.

You needed brick, didn't you.

Fraid not. I meant to do that over the weekend when I made it, but I'm still short on some sauces since the recent move, soy among them.

Well, it's not a huge deal. I'll survive one night of being mildly peckish.

I just checked in on Twitch Plays Pokemon and they're actually playing X/Y now! And the viewership is actually higher than it was when I stopped following it!

[up]And they managed to get trading working and got a female Omanyte.

Named LADY HELIX.

And the outrage was so loud that trading was disabled and she was put in the Box immediately.

Lunch was good today.
