ALL. OF. THESE. THINGS.
YOU. ARE. ALL. AMAZING.
NEVER. LIMIT. YOURSELF.
This is all of the true. I need, like, a daily reminder of how true this is.
HAH, I was JUST about to post two of these pics
Since everyone I know is reblogging this thing it’s been on my dash constantly all day
and the fact that two of them are exactly the same is driving me crazy a bit.Yeah I collect stuff like this and it’s good to have around for a little extra pep but there are days when none of it gets through.
Sorry about that, I know it’s probably annoying, and you’re right, there are those days where *nothing* seems to get through, but we all have those sometimes, and just like the roadblocks we face, we just need to get over them. We shouldn’t force it, but we should let it run it’s course. But we certainly shouldn’t let it control us to the point of making us *not* draw. It’s at that point, where you need to fight back. I like to think of these as a sort of weapon to fight off those feelings. It’s not easy for
everyoneanyone, but you just gotta’ keep at it.Sorry SB (and everyone else), I’m nabbing this too.

Obama And ISP’s To Launch Largest Digital Spying Scheme In History (Must Read)
If you download potentially copyrighted software, videos or music, your Internet service provider (ISP) has been watching, and they’re coming for you.
Specifically, they’re coming for you on Thursday, July 12.
That’s the date when the nation’s largest ISPs will all voluntarily implement a new anti-piracy plan that will engage network operators in the largest digital spying scheme in history, and see some users’ bandwidth completely cut off until they sign an agreement saying they will not download copyrighted materials.
Word of the start date has been largely kept secret since ISPs announced their plans last June. The deal was brokered by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), and coordinated by the Obama Administration. The same groups have weighed in heavily on controversial Internet policies around the world, with similar facilitation by the Obama’s Administration’s State Department.
The July 12 date was revealed by the RIAA’s CEO and top lobbyist, Cary Sherman, during a publishers’ conference on Wednesday in New York, according to technology publication CNet.
The content industries calls this scheme a “graduated response” plan, which will see
-Time Warner Cable
-Cablevision
-Comcast
-Verizon
-AT&T
and others spying on users’ Internet activities and watching for potential copyright infringement. Users who are “caught” infringing on a creator’s protected work can then be interrupted with a notice that piracy is forbidden by law and carries penalties of up to $150,000 per infringement, requiring the user to click through saying they understand the consequences before bandwidth is restored, and they could still be subject to copyright infringement lawsuits.
Response: This is much worse than SOPA/PIPA and ACTA. It doesn’t necessarily censor the internet but it spys on everything you do. Your ENTIRE web history will be watched and recorded and might even assist the government. This was coordinated by Obama and his administration with the help of the MPAA and RIAA.
What is so dangerous about this is that this is not a law it is a policy adopted by several companies. That means this will not be debated in Congress and you will agree to be spied on by signing a contract with the company.
Internet censorship is becoming a reality and now the corporate elite will legally be able to spy on you. If we spread this and cause an uproar like what we did with SOPA, maybe they will back down. Either way people NEED to know about this.

Recently, there’s been a clumsy pony with misaligned eyes and a dopey speaking voice causing drama on the internet.
No, no, stop laughing, I’m serious.
…Please stop weeping for the state of humanity.
Good. The pony’s name is Derpy Hooves and she’s an…
While you may not like the changes. We must adapt to them.

I can’t believe I still have to explain myself to you inattentive twits. I don’t like the name: Derpy, and I didn’t like the lack of character they gave her. However, I acknowledged that she wasn’t given much screen time anyways, and that I have a personal investment in the name: Ditzy. That’s it; end of story.
I am not a name crusader, or a moral activist. I do not, and never wanted to overthrow Hasbro. I never thought Derpy was an offensive stereotype, and I never once indicated that I favored any edit to the already released episode.
I loved Derpy’s voice; I thought they nailed it (save her second and fourth lines; they sounded somewhat forced to me). I even loved her derpy klutziness. Quit erroneously assuming my position, and stop sending me these BS messages.
Wow, some bronies, huh?
I’m not sorry to say this - but I honestly don’t give a fuck. In the end it’s just a cartoon, not something that was intended to be taken seriously - ever.
I don’t believe in fanons seriously, never did, my view on fanon is that it’s just something fun to play with but it should never be something to obsess over or treat like it’s the bible - that only ends in unhappiness.
The show is THEIRS, not ours. Always have, and always will be - the best we can and should do is just enjoy everything they have to offer. That’s how I always enjoyed my cartoons and other things over the years, I never demanded the creators do/change something to our liking - I just was thankful for what they gave. My view is that it’s their story, let them tell it the way they want to. And if I get tired of it, that’s okay - I just move on.
Maybe it’s just me but the edit may have been the best move. Giving in to the fanon deliberately tends to be a bad idea in my personal view as it means the audience is controlling what creators do. (I know it’s not completely true but I just worry sometimes that could happen and the results will not always be satisfying to everyone involved). I wouldn’t want that to happen in my own works. (a little teaser there and here is fiine but making it so blatantly obvious is…usually not good). So, It’s over, they edited it, so what? Just move on and enjoy what the future may have to offer.
What people SHOULD be grateful about is the fact they kept the scene inact. That’s the most important part. Who cares if her name was removed or her voice changed? The whole story and character are still there - and that’s all that matters. The show is still good.
Move on people, in the end, it’s only just a cartoon. Feel free to think what you want, I just wanted to voice my own thoughts/suggestions. I’m not gonna try and change yours, just making a statement.

I completely agree. Besides, it’s not like the scene was removed or anything, if fact all that really happened was that a Rainbow Dash line was SLIGHTLY changed and Derpy got a new (and in my opinion better) voice, everything else plays out EXACTLY the same.
