I'm so amazingly original I use this as my spray:

I usually put it over dispensers.
Shoop a sniper hat and replace "drink" with "throw" and it's awesome.

So Ashleigh Ball, the VA of Rainbow Dash and Applejack, is also the lead singer of the band Hey Ocean.

They're pretty neat.  A lot of their stuff is on Youtube.  And apparently she wound up autographing ponies on her band's last tour.  >.>

They're playing next Saturday about four hours and an international border north of me.  I'm more tempted than I should be.

Welp. Our very own Argembarger has done...something. Specifically, it's a fanfic deliberately created to be as terrible and horrifically bad as Half-Life Full Life Consequences.

Enjoy?

After all, Full Life Consequences was made deliberately bad too.

Hey, wasn't it actually written by the same guy that did DOOM: Repercussions of Evil?
You know, with the famous quote:

I must kill the demons.
No, John. You are the demons.
And then John was a zombie.


I might actually read it later. Who knows.

I think you're famous now argembarger.
Also I claim all glory for converting you into a pony in the first place. My ego needs every boost it can get to stay full.

Oh god, Argemberger, you're amazing. Not only have you always had the best avatar, but now you have the best fanfic. Just racking up the bests.

(Actually, I don't even know if he reads this thread, hah!)

He should now.

That's the second fanfic I've actually bothered to finish.
I listened to it, since I feel that's the only real way to do such a story justice. (It's just not as fun if you're not hearing someone stumble their way through the ill pronounced words!)

Applejack?  I'm getting her to autograph my Dash, thank you very much.  :P

Any of you guys live in Washington or BC?  You could hop in my carpool.

Oh and speaking of, my RBD shirt arrived today.  \o/

I should also add the spider fanfic is relevant to my interests, as I'm currently engaged in some rather intense spider roleplay. I will seek to take wondrous inspiration from it.

(I am totally serious here, except that most of the roleplay is played for lasts so taking said inspiration isn't as much a recipe for disaster as you would expect.)

[Grumbling you should probably ignore]

I've never liked people calling that a "wing boner." I mean yeah obviously the outstretched wings were often used to emote excitement in the show, but not that kind of excitement.

I had a bit of a fridge brilliance (no, I'm not going to link to Tvtropes, it ruins lives) moment yesterday thinking about the whole Luna imprisoned in the moon business.

We know that Celestia imprisoned Luna/Night Mare Moon in the moon 1000 years ago, using the elements of harmony. We also know that Twilight and co. harnessed the elements to do something markedly different in the pilot episode(s).  Finally, we know that it was not Celestia that released Night Mare Moon, the stars did (who controls those, if anyone, is up in the air at this point).

What I propose is that Celestia's imprisonment of Luna/Night Mare Moon was not the plan she had in mind. Celestia expected to be able to use the elements to do what Twilight and co. did, but failed for some reason. Possibly, the spark (friendship) that Twilight needed was absent when used by only one pony. Celestia, however could wing it, using her god-tier powers, and ended up imprisoning her own sister in the moon as an unfortunate improvisation. Moreover, she was unable to get her back.

This would explain why she hadn't put together a six-pony team to save Luna earlier, as she had to wait a 1000 years for the stars to free Night Mare Moon. It also explains her sadness over having imprisoned her sister for such a long time, she never meant to. Finally, it explains why she had to pull the batman gambit of sending Twilight to make friends and defeat Night Mare Moon, she was unable to use the elements to their fullest by herself.

Is this plausible, or am I just rambling here?
