1) Nah. I have a humansona! I made him for a 3.5e campaign!
2) Speaking of which. I’ve joined a group a bunch of times, but they all ended before they ever began. The one time we got far enough that I could fight I was a Minotaur Swordmage in 4e.
If you don’t get those timed defenses you’re going to get eaten!
Also there might be a slight input delay on my Kindle.
See, here’s my problem. Steven Universe is a very different show than, say, My Little Human. Steven Universe has very clear and concise rules, with a very limited cast, under which its world works. Even if you don’t know the reason behind something, because the show is told through Steven’s perspective, chances are there is one. And you’ll find out later. Maybe even dozens of episodes later!
My Little Human isn’t so stringent. If some information was omitted, it’s not usually because of a limited narrator or because it’ll be expanded on later. Most of the time, there just is no answer! It wasn’t necessary so nopony ever bothered to nail one down! And that’s where viewers can come in and fill in the blanks with their own imagination, without designating it as “alternate dimensions” or dreams.
One show allows for very plausible, viewer-created additions to fill in gaps left by the show. The other is just a show. No less a show, mind you, but more of a thing to be watched and experienced than one to be explored and immersed.
So… No. It can be fun looking at others’ Gemsonas, particularly their designs, but I don’t see a point in doing it myself.
1) Ah… Hmm… I’m gonna go with worse. For the betterment of society, specialization is needed to efficiently complete a task, both for yourself and others, which allows those others to similarly complete different tasks. When a society has everything it needs to sustain itself, it can advance and expand into new territories (both physically and technologically).
If I had to gather food and maintain a shelter and you had to gather food and maintain a shelter and Hopscotch had to gather food and maintain a shelter; it just doesn’t allow much time for anything else but focusing on survival.
2) No. No I think we can do for less of that.
3) You keep using words that are vague and open to interpretation. Depending on where you go, Tumblr is obscure. Is this website a cult? Specific forums can be very hard to find in the vastness of the internet. Is a small group of ten or so folks brought together because of a common appreciation for a video game a cult?
4) No, sorry. Greed can be a decent fall-back. “I do bad because I want nice thing.“ That’s what Ursula did, anyway.
But no, what you’re describing is a tool. Somepony trying too hard to be edgy and cool, and will just wind up being used by somepony else with greater ambitions.
You know, at some point I graded first year graphic design students. Graphic designers generally design print media so their websites are absolute trash. At least at that college they were trash. I learnt from them for a year, I know how bad their sites are. They don’t understand grids and usability. Usability being how logical a website is and how user friendly it is.
At some point I had to grade a kid who had comic sans all over his website, black borders everywhere and neon colours with clip art to spice it all up. But every thing was still clear. The font was chosen to be easier to read, the buttons were all located in an easy to spot place and overall I didn’t have issues navigating his absolutely horrible looking website.
Right now, I believe that the kid that made that horrendous website as a first year graphic design student, would still be able to put together a more logical layout design for Tumblr than anyone over at Tumblr could ever do.
I don’t complain easily about changes in websites because I know 99% of the time they’re actually for the better. That’s my semi-professional opinion. It’s been a while since I worked at a webdesign/development agency and I kind of changed what I do over time.
But this?
This is absolute [redacted].
This mirror’s my opinion, only it has the experience to back it up.
1) Well, I suppose the most important thing is rationale; your reasoning for doing what is considered wrong. You can’t just go attacking ponies all wanton. You need a morally ambiguous goal or drive for your actions.
2) Is religion a cult? What about television and the internet? If you spend hours upon hours invested in an object, is that not worship? Is sleep a cult?
Disturbing is an awful subjective point-of-view, isn’t it?
3) A little light on the original part of OTP, but they have so much chemistry, don’t they?
