  • She's been through a lot worse... Over the past few years, she's had pneumonia on several occasions, and even been near death because of it. This is bad, but she usually makes a full recovery. It's just a matter of time and patience...
    Yeah, it was, but the surgery went well last night and she's sleeping it off now. She can't put any stress on the fractures until they heal, so she'll be bedridden for a while. Aside from that, she's got a mild infection she's got to get over before she can be transferred to a local nursing home, which my mom's a little upset over because we've had bad experiences with them before...
    Nice to hear. I've kind of had to postpone Feral Twilight's updates again due to a family emergency this past week. My grandma fell and broke her hipbone. It's not as bad as they initially thought, but she's having surgery done to repair it (right now, actually).
    It means that you can write about whatever subject you want next round. I wanted to leave this coming round open so I could save the Valentine's day theme until the one after it.

    Most times I just crop a section using GIMP and then adjust the size so it fits to the forum's maximum avatar size (sometimes I can only adjust it to either the max width or the max length of 150 pixels, depending on where I crop the image so it still looks decent when shrunk down).
    I scour parts of the internet to find these, but I usually try to be a little selective about which ones I keep on my harddrive and/or use for avatars.

    Also, these were some others I've been thinking about using lately.

    The costumed Pokemon are pretty cute, I think, but I'm not sure when/if I'll use them yet.
    For some reason, I keep thinking she's howling to call forth spirits of the dead. The will-o'-the-wisps surrounding her kind of accented that, I thought, but I guess it's subjective.

    Lucky Fire, they have the same production team (for the most part), hence why the similarities exist.
    Yeah, I'm not a sucker for cartoon-based nostalgia, save perhaps for when it comes to Mickey Mouse and Looney Tunes. I'm kind of fond of the new show, but may look into the older stuff sometime.

    Lucky Fire, you don't recall Fluttershy's name? Isn't its name "Fluttershy"?

    I'm guessing it's because it's supposed to be a children's TV show, HOWEVER it derives qualities from other TV shows that they watched as a child, and thus, it holds a certain quality of nostalgia to it (I've been told that the team who worked on it was the same who worked on Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, a well-loved children's cartoon during its time, myself included.)

    ...that's going to be my draft theory for why people like it. Later I might be able to refine it.
    Admittedly I've never had the opportunity to watch the original show, but I've seen some pics from it and thought it was cute.

    Lucky Fire, wouldn't you have been around five years old when My Little Pony was popular back then?

    I'm trying to think of an accurate explanation myself as to why the male MLP fans now outnumber the female ones. I have a few guesses, but I want to be able to develop an answer that is inscrutable.
