That Awkward Moment when you realize something that was blatantly obvious · 8:34pm Apr 3rd, 2012
This was something on the level of when I didn't realize that BSU was, with a slight change of inflection, B. S. University, for three years.
(I still remember sitting in math class, playing games on my calculator because I hated precal, as that particular epiphany hit me. On an unrelated side note, that's also the day I decided that, were I ever to create a university, fictional or otherwise, I would name it Stanford T. Fredrickson University.)
I was reflecting on the characterization of my favorite gold-eyed gray mare, and wondering what it would be like, to be disoriented like that. It could be lack of depth perception, I considered. Then it hit me.
I was born with double-vision. It's not blatantly visible if you look at me straight-on, but it's there. Although I don't run into things, I too have a lack of depth perception (3D movies don't work well for me, I can't catch a baseball to save my life), and I learned how to only use one eye when reading, or else it's all messed up.
I have derp eyes irl.
Sweeeeeet.
I so jelly.

Okay, maybe not.
But on a related note, when people called Derpy 'wall-eyed', I want to hit them. Wall-eyed means 'blue-eyed' in horses and many other mammals. Hell, three of the Mane Six are wall-eyed.
