#doe's rambles

anyways, im starting spring break today. howEVER, ive unfortunately had an injury that renders me immobile for the time being. ill likely be doing a lot of sleeping, so i apologize if i go AWOL for the next week or so. u guys can pry if you wanr, but this is all the detail im gonna share in this particular post.

Okay, so lemme elaborate for this one.

It's not even just generally the fear of needles and pain, I just don't see myself as the type to have them, and I find it surprising whenever someone asks/assumes I want them.

My ears WERE pierced as a kid, but they closed up when I was around 6 or 7-ish. Since then, I haven't wanted any more piercings.

I also just have a various "set" of things I won't touch with a 30 foot pole, so the insinuation freaks me out just a little bit! (The "list" is nothing against anyone who has, wants, or does them. I simply don't want them myself.)

ah, predictable gal is predictable. and easy enough to please ^^

I'm not even a diamonds gal. heck, the "gem" could just be some green glass, as long as its little and shiny i'll like it. but these styles of rings are my favorite ;w;

bestie you know it's definitely not just one. i get why those stuck with you though! those were definitely bonkers episodes

Obviously, the first two episodes. they're the pilot!

look before you sleep, because for some reason i hyperfixated on the sleep song they made for rarity. it was hilarious and i think about it every time i rewatch the episode

sonic rainboom. i think about the guitar riff when rainbow was close to performing the boom quite a lot. i'll rewatch the episode just to hear it again! it's so awesome and good

season 2 openings, because discord is fun. why didn't he just forcefully discord them all. forever. silly discord

luna eclipsed. i wish we saw more of the bat ponies! also luna's redesign was pretty cool, no matter how much i loved the beta design. just assuming that luna's return left her completely powerless, hence the non-flowy hair and small stature. also holiday interpretations are fun!

sweet and elite, just for the iconic rarity song

hurricane fluttershy, because shes relatable! i was always a little self conscious about my own physical abilities but this episode (and joking around about it) made me feel a lot better

canterlot wedding. cadence my beloved. changelings are so very interesting. i also remember waking up on the couch in my mom's office since they put it on the tv, and my mom joked about mlp being the thing that got me to wake up

crystal empire kinda came out of nowhere but i LOOOOVE the magic implications. i wish they did more with sombra because he seems so interesting as a villain. also i remember being very proud of remembering that the square root of 546 is 23.36664289109

too many pinkie pies; i remember watching this episode the day it aired (it was a reupload on youtube) and my sister and i watched it on our old dinosaur computer, loaded up with good ol' windows 7 and internet explorer

magical mystery cure. i also remember watching this one specifically, sitting in my old bunk bed watching it on my pink disney princess tiara tv and crying at twilight becoming an alicorn because i was so very proud of her (and thought the show was ending)

the season 4 opening, very obviously a huge upgrade in animation. i remember watching leaks of luna's transformation into nightmare moon from a convention and being so excited to see it! im just a big fan of history in shows like this. it gives the world such depth

bats. bats. bats. freaked me the heck out

pinkie's pride because i knew weird al before he showed up on mlp (and always flexed it to my friends in elementary school lol) ALSO i really liked pinkie's lament in it

from whom the sweetie belle toils. ah, siblings. my sister and i never had THESE kinds of issues but i always relate to their sisterly dynamic the most

testing testing 123. probably one of my favorite episodes to rewatch. dash is just neurodivergent!!! it also helped me when i was transitioning from elementary school to junior high (i went to that 6 year college prep school) and the learning curve of "not being as gifted anymore." i still struggle with studying and have not found any great learning methods! well, aside from pretending to be interested, for some reason.

twilight's kingdom. first luna song, AND a laser battle, AND super powerful twilight??? it was pretty awesome. i still want the library back tho pl0x thanks

the cutie map. communism, ok thx byeee. also one of the first villains to be a where's waldo! its fun to look back and spot her and know it WASNT a lazy animators choice

do princesses dream of magic sheep becaues it discusses self harm???? to a target audience of young girls entering a period in their lives where self harm is pretty prominent? man.

rarity investigate is a very fun episode. man i like rarity a lot

scare master validating my fears and acknowledging fluttershy's anxiety around the holiday!! it did a decent job at communicating that what may seem trivial to some is a very real issue for others. i love love love how fluttershy is treated in this episode; her boundaries are validated and accommodated for. (i dont like that sometimes they portrayed her as a party pooper. however! this is a very real feeling some people have! and i think it would be worse not to include a little bit of tension surrounding it)

a hearth's warming tale stuck with me well and good since im a huge christmas buff. also, more luna songs. luna songs were always huge in the fandom

all bottled up! starlight glimmer, my beloved. bottling up feelings is a pretty real thing for me, and instead of disregarding my emotions, it taught me that its healthy to vent in a consensual environment and tell people they're bugging you if they are.

parental glideance. actually, any episode introducing parents. omg, theyre (mostly) not orphans!

a royal problem. daybreaker is cool and awesome, and the lroe behind what she COULDVE been is amazing, but i miss the days of nightmare star

THE PERFECT PEAR. WAHHHHHH

once upon a zepplin was so real for me. confounded people pleasing leading to you having an awful time and missing out on everything.

sounds of silence, because kirins are so cool and they were a very cool thought but i would like to see them speak more than in one episode please thanks

the beginning of the end p2 with twilight's super awesome speech while fighting sombra. man shes so cool. the hair flip animation was cool. twilight is so cool.

she talks to angel, because ive always very badly wanted to know what the heck is going on in that little bunny's mind. and it was hilarious

I HAVE NO CLUE :D

look- in terms of food, im picky... so i rarely end up liking what i try. however! i was surprised to fall in love with my mom's shoyu chicken. (yes its still chicken and thats one of my safe foods, but sometimes if its cooked in an unfamiliar way it turns out awful)

no. no. no. no. no. no. no. so i went into a "haunted house" one time (it was more of a walk-in horror experience) for the walking dead at universal studios. and i wanted to wait outside, but since it was just me, my sisters friend, and my sister, the friend was able to pressure me into doing it. luckily i had headphones to drown it out and i shut my eyes and covered my face but IT WAS STILL REALLY SCARY and im still upset thinking about the experience. it was awful and horrible and i was terrified (mind you, i was like 14 when this happened, but i still feel this way! when i watch night mind [a horror series analysis channel], i need comforting music, all the lights on, and my back against a wall to enjoy it.)

it's not like i hate horror. i understand the appeal, but i dont feel it! and it hurts a lot when im forced into scary things

i want a bigger bed! like a queen or king size so i can fit more comfortably with all of my stuffed animals and pillows. (im currently at a full size) and i also want a canopy bed. but theres plenty of obstacles for that: its harder to make bigger beds, its expensive, mattress shopping takes ages, im worried about a fire hazard with my LED lights on the walls... but i'd love to have a big ole bed with curtains and feel like a princess when i sleep -w-

loaded question, but my body. not even for vain reasons; i just want to be able to fit places where skinny people can but i have to squeeze past. its hard to love yourself when so many things restrict you and your movement, but its just the way it is. i still love my body, because it keeps me alive and works hard to keep it that way, but sometimes i wish i could just shrink, you know? i am not looking for fitness/diet advice! i've been fat my whole life and nothing ive ever done has been able to change that. there are a lot of factors that keep me from losing weight, and its something ive come to terms with. do not give me health, fitness, or diet advice. i mean it.

i wasn't going to do TMI tuesday this week, since i really just need a break. but! i will still answer this one, because it's a GREAT question. and i'll be talking about every main character's dance skills

on @ask-narratordoe Narrator herself isn't too great at dancing, but it's just because i never really do it. it's not like she'll step on anyone's toes, but she still doesnt know what to do Borealis is a similar case, but she loves doing it in private. her moves are not real dance moves at all, but she just vibes Jasper is a loud and proud and awful dancer. they love dancing, and can follow the motions of a dancing crowd, but if they're the only one dancing, they'll definitely knock over a thing of two Asher... actually can dance! he and his younger sister dance together all the time; it's really sweet. he's never had formal lessons, but knows the ins and outs of a proper waltz like the back of his hoof. Onyx is a cat. cats cannot dance and do not know what dancing is. but he likes yowling when music is playing! Percy is right on track with Jasper, not knowing how to dance but still vibing. i feel like he does that awkward hopping-thing that people who dont know how to dance do at parties, but tries to get on the dance floor once he builds up his confidence. it does NOT go well. he just flails around on the floor trying to breakdance. In this case, Asher would be the best dancer out of everyone.

on @ask-projectstarstruck (i'm still working on it! just majorly busy) Callista is literally an idol. her career is dance. that's not exactly a fair question Stella, Delphine, and Heaven are all yet to be introduced, but also have professional training. (they're the other girls in her idol group) Austral has nothing. she refuses to dance, she is too busy with literally everything else And as for the mysterious voice... well, she can dance to her own beat, but nothing too special or too outlandish. In this case, Callista would be the best dancer. (But if we're including everyone in the idol group, it's fierce competition between Stella and Delphine. Stella is the leader, but Delphine works out and does extra training in her free time.)
