Spoiler: Cursive • show
Name: Cursive Quillis
Race: Pegasus
Gender: Stallion
Age: 22 (in human years)

Appearance:

Biography: A simple writer by trade, Cursive can often be seen darting around Ponyville in search of any reason to jot down the occasional note. Whether it be an interview, a journal entry of the day's events, or a simple spur of the moment idea, he is always searching for his next big inspirational moment to share his stories with others. He has a fair amount of respect for Princess Luna, and is rather fond of the darkness she brings. He often stays up late in an attempt to show her nightly gift is appreciated. As a result, he can sometimes be found sleeping late in the day, an open journal by his side with a single jagged line running off from his unfinished entry. While most ponies frolic and play in the warmth of Princess Celestia's sun, Cursive patiently awaits the return of an everlasting night. If and when that happens, he shall be more than willing to be the one who pens the following events into Equestria's history.


It was surprisingly difficult to describe a character who consists of at least three shades of the same color. I doubt I'll be doing that again any time soon, and having to type this all out twice didn't help either.  o_o

I welcome all constructive criticism and will attempt to edit this character description accordingly.

EDIT: Cursive's surname has been changed. Thanks to Gracie Sky for the suggestion!  :3

While I would love to start this introduction with some form of in-character banter, I honestly have yet to develop said character beyond his physical appearance and special talent.

But anyway! I will start out by admitting I used to see MLP:FiM as nothing more than childish, considerably pathetic, and most certainly not worth my time. Why would I even bother watching such a show, especially since I had graduated from high school when I first learned of the show? Surely there are better ways for me to spend my time: A few hands of Magic the Gathering (even though my deck is considerably... well... bad), some anime, working on some sketches of the 17 or so characters that currently see the inner sanctum of my mind as their personal play thing, chatting with some friends online, playing an online game or two, or partaking in some writing (one of my more enjoyable hobbies). Now surely that would keep me from becoming even slightly interested in the story of brightly colored, talking, some flying, and some magic using ponies, right? ...Right?

Needless to say, that didn't happen. Take an art college where anything that would have you shunned in previous years and throw in a persistent friend who used to mention MLP quite a bit, and you end up with me eventually just thinking "You know something? I'll actually see what all the fuss is about." Summing up the following events is rather easy:

Episode one: The animation quality's pretty good.
Episode two: This show's actually pretty good.
Episode three: PONIES!

Afterwards, one thing simply lead to another. I could name most of (if not all of) the Mane Six and Cutie Mark Crusaders, I made an OC, claimed Rainbow Dash as best pony, saw all of season one and some of season two, searched for brony music (which, in my opinion, can be some of the most interesting to listen to when bored or just can't think of anything else to listen to), and started watching some MLP reaction videos for the occasional laugh. Of course, I'm fairly sure that's not everything, but it's rather late and I can't recall anything else at the moment.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post and not write it off as a poor attempt to troll fans of MLP, assuming the first actual bit seemed as such. Also, while the three episode portion may make me seem like an open brony, that's actually not the case. Sure, I enjoy the show and wouldn't mind having a little Rainbow Dash figure to put on my desk as I write or work on school related stuff, but the reason I don't have a mini RBD is simply because I try to hide the fact I watch the show. I normally don't post about it, I don't write about it, and I most certainly refuse to talk about it. I'll mention it if some friends and I stop to ponder over why MLP merchandise is being displayed in a store like Hot Topic, but beyond that, I say nothing.
