Writing / Wouldn't Change a Thing
2024 Jun 02, 23:29:07
3650 Days like sand through our hands,
521 Weeks like the breeze through our hair,
120 Months like the sun on our skin,
10 Year, like the clouds rolling in.

All that uncertain time, ten years of wanting more,
I couldn't close that door.
Now it's come and I couldn't want it less,
but I wouldn't change a thing.

All that hurt to stop regretting, or forgetting it was worth it.
And now it's dulling, healing finally,
And with it gone so goes the memory.
Still, I wouldn't change a thing.

It clung and scraped, that grief,
All just to survive ten years.
It died with hope just in reach,
but not so far as the beach.

10 Years, til the clouds rolled in.
10 Years, til the door slammed closed.
10 Years, and my tired on the road.
And I wouldn't change a thing.

        A dream trampled through Peridot's mind.  It ruined and dirtied his thoughts with images and sounds he didn't wish to sense.  The vague imprint of his sister, the brief echo of a yell, an ill-obtained item in his hooves.  The boy was afraid, but not of anything he could settle on.  It disturbed him enough to make his small body twitch in his sleep.
        Soon Peridot's growing imagination could dwell on it no longer, and he woke with his small heart beating too fast.  Immediately, his eyes darted in every direction, searching for his sibling.  Breathing labored, he saw her on the back of his mother a ways behind him.  Peridot calmed almost entirely.  Settling his small snout back on his fathers neck, he let out a small huff.  He found comfort in the scent of his family.

        White glanced back to his foal just as he did moments before, only to see the boy once again settling back down.  The father stopped, setting his basket down on the ground.
        "We're almost there, Perry.  Are you ready to see our friends?"  White knew he wouldn't get an answer, but he asked regardless.  He looked forward, noticing they had quite nearly arrived.  White picked his basket back up, glancing behind him at his wife and daughter.
        Yep, still just as adorable as usual.  He thought.

        Whitewash moved at a leisurely pace down the road to the beachside.  The cause of his turtle-like movement was the object sleeping quietly on his back.  White didn't want to wake his infant son, Peridot.  The foal was still small.  Growing, but small.  He still needed sleep on a regular basis, especially his evening naps.
        The father smiled, though only slightly.  He carried a basket in his mouth containing a small bit of confection he'd baked the previous day.  White hoped it wasn't too stale, he had covered it as best he could.  He glanced back at his child with unnecessary concern, as if suddenly afraid the boy wouldn't be there as soon as he checked, but as always Peridot was safe riding on his fathers back.
        Right where you should be.
        Whitewash continued his slow pace, expecting to get to the grill party soon.

Yep. Burnt like an Egyptian library. Sorry to any of the people I'm writing with that see this, I'll try to keep going, but I can't guarantee anything, and if I do, it will be some subpar writing.


I'm gonna have to say ditto on that. 
After so long...I just don't think I have the love for roleplaying that I used to.

For some reason... I feel like I'm the only one who has the opinions that I have. Almost like no one else feels the same way as I do.

I mean, sure that means I'm unique, but, at the same time, I can't find anyone to talk to legitimately about things without getting my opinions hated on.

:s


Sorry, friend.  Folk like you are hard to come by, especially here.

Series Three:  The Problems


Spoiler: Sinter • show

"You can set yourself on fire, but you're never gonna burn."

Sinter:

Male, Earth, Adult, Medium-Length Bleached White Mane with Orange highlights, Charcoal Coat, Orange Eyes.
Appears burnt in patches.
Similar in appearance to Whitewash Malady.

Volatile by nature, dangerous by nurture.
If there's one thing he loves to watch, it's the roaring of a fire.
Doesn't seem to mind heat, even so far as not to be bothered by being burned.
Never seen without a lighter or matchbox.  Usually both.
Sometimes wears a burnt up old hat.
Has the best maniacal laugh.

Mark:  A Lighter.  (Duh.)
Talent:  Arsony.

Going to put this in spoilers just in case. Because I don't want to make people mad if I don't.

Spoiler: show
I really want to know why the hell Nintendo is seemingly skipping Pokemon Z and going straight to 7th gen (supposedly anyway)

All other regions had a third game. Why the hell aren't they making a third game for Kalos? This makes absolutely no sense to me. Sorry.

I'd be happier if I had an explanation as to what the hell happened to Pokemon Z.

>:/



Spoiler: I agree wholeheartedly with you. • show

I'm hoping against hope that this is some kind of Pokemon Z.
If Gen 5 got a nonstandard third game, maybe Gen 6 will as well.

...But deep down, I know I put too much faith in Game Freak.

Well...Not really now that we've all gone offline again, but yeah.

Look at all of us being online at the same time...There's somethin' special about that.

I-I can leave if my writing is a problem, not like i'm posting all that much anyway.


Grizz, sweety, I know we don't know each other very well, but you don't need to be that hard on yourself.
You write very well, as you did when you started.  In fact, you've even improved since then, like we all have.
I wasn't referring to you.


Oh, and Doom, everybody is a member as soon as they're signed up.
What you're thinking of is Founder, as in, a member who's been here from the relative beginning and stuck through with it until now.

Moge...There's no easy way to say this and no easy way to hear it, but hun...
I don't think your writing is advanced enough quite yet.  We already have too many writers around here of questionable quality.
Don't take it the wrong way, Moge, you didn't do anything wrong.
It's a third and final no from me.

Hello, sorry that I have been gone for a while.
I have not really been super excited about the mlp fandom for a while, and I was thinking about leaving it. But I have decided that I won't leave this forum, since I still enjoy going on here from time to time.
Though now that I have been gone for probably more than a month, some things got to have happened, have I missed anything in the rp?


It's all good, Naura.  Grizz, what I'm about to say applies to you as well.
Disappearing for a week, two, even for a month isn't a bad thing. 
Everybody needs time to recharge, everybody needs breaks.

Anyways, I haven't really been paying enough attention to the RP to answer, Naura.
From my perspective and memory, nothing of note's happened.

Oh I'm well aware that it's been a theme and it's a possibility.  I'll just be very upset if I have to wait several months to know if my favorite characters are still going to even be alive...

Welp, looks like that's not gonna be an issue.

I seriously hope it doesn't end too depressingly though, at least give a hopeful upswing to that cliffhanger if they do have to do this.  Race to the Edge really angered me by making it a total loss situation practically out of nowhere; I get that not everything is going to be alright all the time, but I'm the impatient type who really needs to know if the characters he loves are going to be alright...the wait for episode 12 is bad enough, but a seasonal gap when I don't know who's going to make it?  Nope, too much stress for me.



Spoiler: RWBY • show

Just keep in mind hopelessness has been the prime mood, particularly if you put stock in the emotions of the intro music they've been using for this season.
Hopelessness has been the theme so far.

Personally I'm hoping for a 45 minute or an hour long season ender, just to give it some real oomph.

Nintendo, you bloody trolls...
I was literally JUST about to go out and buy Final Fantasy Explorers, when SUDDENLY they drop the Fire Emblem Fates release date! NOW I don't know what to get!


Dude, wasn't the release date out ages ago?
What makes your decision worse is that Fates is in two versions with significant differences between them.

Looks like we're all gearing up with our own ideas.
It's...Heartwarming, to say the least.

Trust me, Chish...Actually, everyone who'll listen.

For the love of Akatosh and all the Eight and One, play The Elder Scrolls on PC.
I don't care which one you play, play it on PC.  Fan patches, mods, developer support, additional features like Waiting, I cannot begin to tell you how much you want these.

Being able to use the Wait function to pass time so your Companion can catch up to you is just...Just beautiful.

Please.  Take it from me, the PC Gamer.  You want to play on PC.

I'm sorta annoyed at myself for not being very active in the fandom lately, i mean i still talk to my friends i made in it on fb and stuff but i haven't talked much about it for at least somewhere around last year and when i'm on this website i only use 2 of the threads really


Don't be.  There are more productive ways to spend your time, my friend.


Quote from: Sweet Brew on 2016 Jan 15, 07:00:32
I hate it when I have a serious problem yet no one takes it seriously...

IE: My insomnia is back.
"Oh, sorry to hear, Brew. Maybe you should try some warm milk?"
Warm milk...? Warm milk?!

This isn't "Oh, I can't fall asleep within the hour" it's "Help! I can't fall asleep within the day!"
I literally didn't fall asleep until 12PM yesterday, that's not midnight, that's noon...
You know, I had it going really well when I had pneumonia, funny as it is...I had less problems! lol
Ah well... I'll be begging for this energy 60 years from now so I'll just enjoy it while it lasts. :]


If I could suggest something, it would be the highly unpopular activity known only as exercise.
By exercising, you'll take up quite a lot more energy than you would normally.  Your body might force a nightly shut-down at that point, bud.

As a side bonus, you'd get totally ripped.

Aye.
I just hope we'll all have the time for it.
I likely won't, all things considered...

Um... Wheel Master is the first boss for Terra. You can't get any Mine commands that early.

:s

Either way I found other ways to win.


You should try playing on Critical, like my brother and I did once.  You will have a heck of a time.
