My ap9l9gies. I was perf9rming what passes f9r slum6er. Firstly, th9ugh I appreciate the c9mpliment and its intent, I must relay that I prefer less 6elittling f9rms 9f praise. Still, it pleases me that my p9nys9na's visage can 6ring y9u s9me enj9yment. M9st w9uld ar6itrarily mark it as 'cringe' and refuse t9 engage critically with what it represents, s9 it is nice t9 find s9me69dy that can appreciate it. When it c9mes t9 p9nies... Truly, where can 9ne start? The shine in their manes? The j9y and whimsy in their pushers? 9ne thing that has lingered in my pan is the simplicity 9f them and their designs; r9unded shapes and p9werful primary c9l9urs, f9ur lim6s lacking much dexterity 9r indeed the m9re threatening and p9werful h99ves 9f real-life h99f6easts, and 9nly tw9 9f the three 'main' castes p9ssess m9re diverse features in the f9rm 9f wings and h9rns. And yet in spite 9f this, they lead equally rich and c9mplex lives all the same. An earth p9ny may have very limited means 9f interacting with the w9rld ar9und them, especially c9mpared t9 unic9rns, and it is the case that m9st end up as menial la69urers. H9wever, they d9 n9t let that restrain their p9tential. They are still fully capa6le 9f expl9ring and indeed expanding their w9rld, 9f participating as a fully-fledged mem6er 9f s9ciety, 9f experiencing w9nders and perils alike. They are n9t maligned f9r lacking the magical p9tential 9f unic9rns, n9r the flight that pegasi p9ssess, and - perhaps the greatest c9ntrast t9 the s9cieties Tr9llkind has 6r9adly kn9wn - they are n9t culled f9r any perceived inadequacy. I think there's s9mething 6eautiful a69ut that. There is 9f c9urse w9rk still t9 6e d9ne t9 ensure a c9mpletely equal and fair s9ciety, especially t9wards the n9n-equine inha6itants 9f their w9rld; I c9uld fill an entire essay with my th9ughts 9n h9w they are treated. 6ut 6r9adly, within their 9wn pe9ples, they have seemingly 9verc9me this great hurdle that plagues tr9llkind. They p9ssess a s9cial c9nscience yet unseen in m9st tr9ll s9cieties, 9ne where perceived weakness, sickness, 9r general inadequacy d9es n9t 6ar y9u fr9m 6eing a pers9n. It's inspiring. It's c9ntr9versial. It's the exact kind 9f messaging a l9t 9f pe9ple need. And the sh9w is full 9f such messaging. Th9ugh it may n9t always hit the mark - as after all n9 piece 9f media n9r pers9n is flawless - it is still leagues a69ve what m9st tr9ll media, as a pr9pagandic arm 9f the state, can achieve.

8=l < Tell me more 8=l < Do you have a favorite and why 8=l < Character and caste 8=l < I assume Earth Ponies for the caste
In s9me ways I think assigning fav9rites risks flattening characters fr9m their nuanced depicti9ns int9 a checklist 9f likea6le, desired traits, and saying any 9ne caste is my 'fav9urite' w9uld stray danger9usly cl9se t9 reinf9rcing the same p9wer structures I decry. That said. I quite enj9y Fluttershy, and her j9urney t9wards making herself 6e heard. She is p9lite. She cares f9r 9thers, especially the m9re 6east-c9ded creatures 9f Equestria. Were I n9t s9 dev9ted t9 my higher calling, I w9uld likely partake in a life much like hers. Spike, as well, is a character I feel a deep kinship f9r. I kn9w what it is like t9 6e l99ked d9wn up9n, t9 6e treated as lesser. And als9 he's funny. I ch99se t9 depict myself as an earth p9ny n9t necessarily 9ut 9f fav9uritism f9r their caste, 6ut rather as I feel a kinship with the underprivileged as a wh9le. Th9ugh Equestria is a 6eac9n 9f equality and purity in c9mparis9n t9 6ef9rus, it again d9es still have issues t9 w9rk thr9ugh; 96jectively, th9se with the p9wer t9 m9ve 96jects with their mind and 6end reality t9 their whims are privileged 9ver the p9nies typically stere9typed int9 6eing "str9ng" and "g99d at farming and f99d-related pursuits". My s9na 6eing neither 6reaks thr9ugh such stere9types, while als9 all9wing a clean translati9n 6etween my 'real-life self' and my 'ficti9nal s9na'. My p9nys9na w9uld, 9f c9urse, 6e champi9ning f9r the equality and fair treatment 9f all Equestria's m9st underprivileged mem6ers.

While 9f c9urse the c9re 9f it is 6ite-sized tales 9f friendship and adventure appr9priate f9r wrigglers, under the surface lies a feast 9f themes and t9pics just waiting t9 6e analyzed. I w9uld highly rec9mmend the sh9w f9r 69th casual and critical viewing, and luckily it is easily availa6le 9nline. Th9ugh I w9uld th9r9ughly enj9y an9ther watchthr9ugh 9f the series, at present I am c9nstrained in my a6ility t9 participate in a wealth 9f s9cial engagements. Essays w9n't write themselves, pr96lematic 6ehavi9urs in the infinite expanse 9f the dream6u66les w9n't c9rrect themselves, etcetera. 9thers are 6etter suited t9 h9sting such a thing than I.

does pspspsps vwork on cat-like trolls oooor?
C9uld 6e c9nsidered a #micr9aggressi9n t9 s9me. Always esta6lish appr9priate 69undaries first.
Are you a cat troll Kanny?
N9. At 6est I am h99f6east-aligned. I simply w9uldn't rec9mmend g9ing up t9 tr9lls with vaguely felinid features and attempting t9 call them as 9ne w9uld a pitia6le 6east. S9me may n9t appreciate that.
did ya ASSUME i vwas gonna do that horse boy?
Well. I mean. N9, f9rgive me. I w9uld n9t think t9 assume y9ur intenti9ns 6ehind such a questi9n. I simply th9ught it a prudent 6it 9f advice 9n the 9ff chance such c9urse 9f acti9n was a p9ssi6ility, that I w9uld give t9 any9ne asking such a questi9n.
8=l < Thinking about timelines that didn't succeed 8=l < That scratched their session and restarted their universe 8=l < Beforus becoming Alternia 8=l < Roles being swapped 8=l < Who we c001d have became 8=l < W001d I have been happier as Darkleer 8=l < I don't think so 8=l < I wish I c001d meet my Alternian self, act001ly 8=l < I want to know how his life differed from the one I knew 8=l < He 8=l < He killed 8=l < He was just doing his job 8=l < I can understand that 8=l < I'm going to think about something else now
If it helps, I think having c9mplicated, #nuanced em9ti9ns regarding 9ne's alternate selves is a universal c9nstant.
8=l < I have complicated thoughts about my Beforan halternates, let alone the Alternian ones 8=l < The differences astound me 8=l < Also 8=l < Your icon is cute
There are the9retically infinite differences that c9uld 9ccur. Ultimately, we cann9t c9ntr9l the lives (9r un-lives; #gh9sts #p9stM9rtalIndividuals) 9ur alternate selves lead. 9nly 9ur 9wn, in the here-and-n9w. S9, that's what's w9rth f9cusing 9n. And, thank y9u.
It feels g99d t9 garden. It feels fulfilling t9 cultivate life and have it gr9w thr9ugh y9ur eff9rts. Even if it's n9t actually alive. 9r real. 6ecause it's all dream6u66le gh9st-mem9ry stuff. And y9ur eff9rts are actually m9stly just perceiving that it is gr9wing hard en9ugh t9 make it s9, t9 the p9int that y9u are n9t actually sure if y9u are achieving anything at all. 6ut 9nce y9u get past all that it's pretty relaxing and fulfilling, I think.
this is depressin as hell dude.
i dont generally find you likeable or agreeable, but i agree with the ampora. this is depressing. i hope youll one day be able to grow something real and beautiful.
Well, I'm s9rry y9u interpreted it that way. I ch99se t9 l99k at it p9sitively. Glass half full. N9t that seeing it as half-empty is a less valid way 9f l99king at things.
havwe ya considered not ovwer thinkin it? sounds like itd be more relaxin vwithout adding all the technicalities.
M9st pe9ple d9n't. That is fine. I d9 n9t need t9 6e liked in 9rder f9r my w9rds t9 6e impactful. 6ut I h9pe s9 t99.
Unf9rtunately, I d9 n9t p9ssess the privilege 9f ign9rance.
ouch. i personally vwouldnt call it ignorance...
I didn't mean it in a disparaging way. Simply that I p9ssess an analytical thinkpan, and I must keep it sharp. S9me69dy has t9 perceive all the p9tential pr96lematics in day-t9-day life that m9st pe9ple take f9r granted.
