I met Pen Stroke today. It felt good. Also, I think he'll be needing some therapy... · 5:24am Aug 7th, 2012
So yeah. This is exactly what it sounds like. And no, this has nothing to do with those stories, I just thought everyone would find this incredibly amusing.
[8/6/2012 11:54:24 PM] CardsLafter: So I got some writing done today. o.o And I realized that it's becoming increasingly easier. I think I've finally made it to the point where I can accomplish a modicum of quality whilst still maintaining alacrity...
[8/6/2012 11:54:30 PM | Edited 11:54:39 PM] CardsLafter: How about you guys?
[8/6/2012 11:54:35 PM] Nines | David: My editing is going really well
[8/6/2012 11:54:40 PM] Nines | David: despite the fact that I'm like
[8/6/2012 11:54:41 PM] lam: I admire the use of alacrity
[8/6/2012 11:54:46 PM] Nines | David: literally redoing 2k words of thoughts and dialog lmao
[8/6/2012 11:54:51 PM] CardsLafter: :D
[8/6/2012 11:54:55 PM] Pen Stroke: Editing Pink Dream?
[8/6/2012 11:55:10 PM] CardsLafter: Oh dear. It's Pen Stroke. Jesus, how is my hair?
[8/6/2012 11:55:24 PM] lam: It is delightfully full of gel
[8/6/2012 11:55:28 PM] Pen Stroke: Considering I can't see it, I'll assume fine.
[8/6/2012 11:55:32 PM] lam: Quite shiny as well
[8/6/2012 11:55:36 PM] CardsLafter: Mmmm. That qualifies as slightly sexy, yes?
[8/6/2012 11:55:57 PM] CardsLafter: Ahem. Pen Stroke. This is a seduction attempt. Please yield to the implications.
[8/6/2012 11:56:02 PM] Nines | David: lmao
[8/6/2012 11:56:07 PM] Pen Stroke: I rolled a high resistance
[8/6/2012 11:56:10 PM] CardsLafter: ...
[8/6/2012 11:56:14 PM] Pen Stroke: You'll have to try harder than that.
[8/6/2012 11:56:15 PM] arcendius: Haha, did you read Neil Gaiman's seduction thing?
[8/6/2012 11:57:15 PM] CardsLafter: Pen. I am fairly attractive. So are you. We should create fairly attractive offspring for the sake of the species. You have to think about the future!
[8/6/2012 11:57:36 PM] Pen Stroke: ................
[8/6/2012 11:57:42 PM] Pen Stroke: I need an adult. I need an ADULT!
[8/6/2012 11:57:46 PM] CardsLafter: I AM AN ADULT!
[8/6/2012 11:57:49 PM] CardsLafter: I AM HERE FOR YOU.
[8/6/2012 11:57:59 PM] Pen Stroke: I need a different adult. I need a DIFFERENT adult!
[8/6/2012 11:58:04 PM] CardsLafter: I CAN CHANGE!
[8/6/2012 11:58:28 PM | Edited 11:58:33 PM] Pen Stroke: Nines, save me!
[8/6/2012 11:58:54 PM] Pen Stroke: Alex, save me!
[8/6/2012 11:58:57 PM] Pen Stroke: Someone, save me!
[8/6/2012 11:59:11 PM] CardsLafter: Pen, stop being so selfish! There is a Future Earth to consider here! You saw the MLP episode! We have to stay prepared!
[12:00:01 AM] Nines | David: Sorry penny im busy editing
[12:00:04 AM] Nines | David: play nice with your friend!
[12:00:18 AM] CardsLafter: Nines, you are a hero and a saint.
[12:00:36 AM] CardsLafter: Unlike Pen Stroke, here. Who is thinking only of himself.
[12:00:44 AM] CardsLafter: For shame, Pen.
[12:01:36 AM] Pen Stroke: T.T
[12:01:39 AM] Pen Stroke: There is no escape.
[12:01:49 AM] CardsLafter: You say that like it's a bad thing. *tsk tsk tsk*
[12:02:42 AM] CardsLafter: So, Pen. In all seriousness. You know Bugsydor, yes?
[12:02:49 AM] Pen Stroke: I believe so, yes.
[12:03:12 AM] CardsLafter: Well, that nonchalant answer only further damages my frail ego.
[12:03:16 AM] Smooth Gilson: Smooth Gilson slams an axe into the table and screams "THATS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!"
[12:03:22 AM] CardsLafter: Exactly.
[12:03:25 AM] Pen Stroke: Remind me who Bugsydor is.
[12:03:27 AM] CardsLafter: Good demonstration, Smooth.
[12:03:35 AM] Smooth Gilson: danke shun
[12:03:39 AM] CardsLafter: He edited your work.
[12:03:45 AM] CardsLafter: Past Sins.
[12:04:00 AM] CardsLafter: Told you to stop using "X offered" so much.
[12:04:25 AM] Pen Stroke: Ah yes, that's right.
[12:04:31 AM] Smooth Gilson: whats wrong with that? there's only a finite amount way of saying things
[12:04:44 AM] Pen Stroke: Why do you ask?
[12:05:05 AM] CardsLafter: Well, the reason I bring him up is because he's now my E.I.C. and he talks about you. A lot. And that's just harmful to my delicate self-image. Which, to be fair, isn't your problem in the slightest.
[12:05:37 AM] Pen Stroke: E.I.C?
[12:05:43 AM] CardsLafter: Editor In Chief.
[12:05:46 AM] CardsLafter: Pretentious, I know.
[12:05:47 AM] Pen Stroke: I had to wonder.
[12:06:19 AM] CardsLafter: So if you could go... I dunno. Show up at his house and violence him a lot or something. He might idolize me more. And I'd appreciate that. Because I plan to publish one day, and I'll need all the self-esteem I can get!
[12:06:36 AM] Smooth Gilson: does he smoke a giant churchill chew and demand pictures of superheros?
[12:06:38 AM] Pen Stroke: Sorry, don't know where he lives.
[12:06:46 AM] CardsLafter: Damns. It was worth a try.
[12:07:34 AM] CardsLafter: No, Smooth, he does not. But he should, don't you think?
[12:08:29 AM] CardsLafter: Anyway, I would like to entertain my readers a bit, Mr. Strokington. Permit me to paste this conversation in a blog post?
[12:08:58 AM] CardsLafter: I know, that sounds incredibly fanboy. But at least I didn't brand your coutenance into my posterior flesh and then demand you look upon it.
[12:09:28 AM] CardsLafter: =D
[12:09:28 AM] Pen Stroke: That is true, you did not do that.
[12:09:36 AM] Pen Stroke: So, I guess it's all right.
[12:09:37 AM] Smooth Gilson: Smooth Gilson realises that yanks still make no sense at 6am
[12:09:42 AM] Nines | David: Lol
[12:09:49 AM] Nines | David: everypony loves penstroke!
[12:09:56 AM] Nines | David: /audience laughter
[12:10:00 AM] CardsLafter: XD
[12:10:48 AM] CardsLafter: Thanks, Pen. Sorry for the strange approach, but I'm something of a psychology buff so I know what it takes to catch eyes without creating repulsion. Unless you're thoroughly disgusted, in which case I meant to do that.
[12:11:00 AM] Nines | David: looool
[12:11:27 AM] Pen Stroke: No, I'm good.
[12:11:32 AM] Pen Stroke: Caught a little off guard.
[12:11:34 AM] Pen Stroke: But fine.
[12:11:53 AM] CardsLafter: n.n Woo!
[12:11:54 AM] Pen Stroke: Blind sided like a mailbox getting hit with a baseball bat in the dead of night
[12:11:58 AM] Pen Stroke: But fine..
[12:12:52 AM] CardsLafter: Well, if your jimmies are exceptionally rustled, I know a good phone psychologist that takes payment in lavender oil. Just don't go see him in person regardless of what he says.
[12:13:34 AM] Pen Stroke: You sir, are a mind derper.
[12:13:41 AM] Nines | David: What
[12:13:50 AM] Nines | David: >takes payment in lavender oil
[12:13:53 AM] Nines | David: that is rather specific
[12:13:58 AM] Miles (Super/Hyde): Well you see
[12:14:02 AM] Miles (Super/Hyde): Twilight is a lavender pony
[12:14:10 AM] Miles (Super/Hyde): So she makes lavender oil.
[12:14:19 AM] Pen Stroke: -_-
[12:14:22 AM] Miles (Super/Hyde): Miles (Super/Hyde) pauses to reflect on what he just said
[12:14:31 AM] Pen Stroke: _-_
[12:14:35 AM] Miles (Super/Hyde): Right then, I shouldn't be awake. Nor alive.
[12:14:42 AM] CardsLafter: I apologize if I derp you too much, Pen.
[12:14:47 AM] CardsLafter: I'm...
[12:14:53 AM] CardsLafter: I'm trying not to act out, too much.
[12:15:03 AM] Pen Stroke: Then I'd hate to see you not holding back.
[12:15:17 AM] CardsLafter: I lose a lot of friends that way. ._.
[12:15:38 AM] Nines | David: Lol
[12:15:40 AM] CardsLafter: Seriously, I'm really not this bad, it only happens when I meet new people.
[12:15:45 AM] CardsLafter: Just ask Nin-...
[12:15:48 AM] CardsLafter: Actually...
[12:15:50 AM] CardsLafter: Do not ask Nines.
>.> That went pretty well, right? Also, damndest thing, there's been a restraining order filed against me. o.o Huh.
"I CAN CHANGE!"
Huh. TTEOAP really was a self-insert.
I like you, CardsLafter. You are a fun person to know.
"[12:13:58 AM] Miles (Super/Hyde): Well you see
[12:14:02 AM] Miles (Super/Hyde): Twilight is a lavender pony
[12:14:10 AM] Miles (Super/Hyde): So she makes lavender oil."

I do say ol chap you handled that situation rather splendidly!
Omg card, for the love of god have more convos like this and paste them
I enjoyed that Cards. Thank you.
We all get moist in the oddest locations at certain people and reading through that has left me with completely soiled pants.
Pen says hi to you all.
Dammit, you're going to have to pay for that gut I bested laughing at this.
274793
Well, to share in the fun
This is what Kingyorri did within a few minutes of this post going up, via steam chat:
[UA] kingyorri: WHAT DID CARDS DO TO YOU?!?!
Pen Stroke Pony: I assume you saw his blog post
[UA] kingyorri: yea
[UA] kingyorri: ;p;
[UA] kingyorri: lol*
[UA] kingyorri: wtf did i just type?
pen is just being mean, dont listen to him.
I'm sorry, I was following along laughing at it (reminding me of Firewall the entire way) and then came across Twilight is a lavender pony, and makes lavender oil and I about died laughing. HAHAH Good gold.
...It took me five minutes to type up a coherent answer, since I kept messing up while laughing. And then I realized that the message was pretty much a bunch of meaningless gibberish, and decided to type this instead.
There goes another few minutes. Wasted?
I THINK NOT!
You sir, are hilarious!
Dear god, I can't stop laughing.
Lafter, I'm sending you the medical bill as soon as I get it.
EDIT: I'm also saving this post for future lulz.
274775
One does not simply fake a self-insert.
And then the entire world exploded into an implosion of exploding frozen hippie-potomuses, which created Major General Panic, who proceeded to hold a wedding between Jupiter and Uranus.
And that, kiddies and kitties, is how this blog post was made.
Mother of god that was entertaining.
xSTx Ice Storm: Uhh
xSTx Ice Storm: I can't make comments
CardsLafter: WE HAD A DEAL.
xSTx Ice Storm: I DONT HAVE AN ACCOUNT AND ANON COMMENTS ARE DISABLED
xSTx Ice Storm: JESUS FUCK
CardsLafter: SOUNDS LIKE YOU JUST BOUGHT YOURSELF AN EXTRA STEP, SONNY JIM!
xSTx Ice Storm: FUK U
CardsLafter: NO U.
I had a hard time understanding the big words. As you can tell with my level of speech from the copy pasta above, I am an idiot. Also this is my first post. Someone shoot me. OMG EMOTICONS!
I almost died laughing at "Blind sided like a mailbox getting hit with a baseball bat in the dead of night." Think you might have come on a little bit too strong with the whole "We should create fairly attractive offspring" deal, though you're definitely right about him needing therapy, because he'd clearly have to be insane to pass up fairly attractive offspring.
274873 I regret nothing.
NOT.
A.
THING.
274778
That exact picture popped into my head when I read that line.
Oh sweet bejebus, you met Pen Stroke. *foams at the mouth*
I laughed.
Cards, I love ya man, but there's something I gotta say. When it comes to being a psychology buff, PLEASE show and don't tell. Also, "temper" means the exact opposite of what you think it does.
With love,
Me (to you)
...
Cards....I....
How can one insane, clever, insanely clever, man/child/manchild be SO FREAKING LOVABLE!
I seriously need to meet you for god sakes.
Ha-rumph.
Thank you Cards, you have officially made my day not 10 minutes after I awoke! dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Lyra.png
-Glassed
What scares me is how much of myself I recognize in that
. Only difference is that Cards is a lot more funny.
*blink*
Just another normal day in the internet.
This makes me wish I could fav blog posts.
lol THIS is why i just love that guy, sheer random comedy gold!
Favourite part:
"Everypony loves Penstroke!"

Soooooooooo will we be seeing Firewall and Nyx ships? :D
Lafter you wh-re >: I thought I was your special somepony.....
We Yanks take great pride in being incomprehensible to the British at any time of day. I'm pretty sure the arrangement is mutual.
Next step: follow through with thegamefilmguruman's contacts and get in touch with KKat. Engage in similar shenanigans. Do not stop until all the famous authors have been shenanigan'd!
I really want to meet Mr Lafter in real life!
But I know that if I did, I'd want to hug him ... and squee ...
And if I did that, he might not like me.
I might creep him out.
But if it didn't, then I'd want to hang around him all day!
But that'd be all `creepy stalker fanboy`.
I might creep him out.
But if I didn't, my life would be made and I could die happy!
But that's two `what if's` that only have 2 options: `best case scenario` or `worst case scenario`.
And knowing me, I'm way too paranoid of annoying people, especially those I idolize.
So ... I'd be afraid to meet him in real life.
And now I'm paranoid that this is legitimately creepy ... but ... but ...
274867
But making an account literally takes like thirty seconds...
Hmm... "Twilight's Oil". Clopfic... Or "Lorenzo's Oil" adaptation...?
274950 I never use the word temper! ... ... Seriously, I don't think it's even come up in my writing. o.o
This is harassment, I see harassment !
275165
Except those evil captcha! SERIOUSLY! It took like 8 tries. How the hell am I supposed to understand if that's supposed to be an i or a l? or an I! OMG THESE EMOTICONS ARE AWESOME! Seriously the best thing about getting an account.
OMG ADORABLE!
ALL THE EMOTICONS
Lafter, I swear to Celestia, if you end up traumatizing Pen Stroke before s/he is done with the Season 2 edit of Past Sins, I will hunt you down and kill you.
Most important tidbit of information: CardsLafter thinks his work isn't good enough to be published yet. You really need to give yourself more credit. There are loads of published works far worse than what you can do.
275193 See 1004937
It took me a while to remember where exactly you used it, but behold!
(... a few hours later, I realize that I can't link to comments outside of this blog post like that)
It's a comment from you on this page: http://www.fimfiction.net/story/41510/A-Differing-of-Opinions
274876 Who said anything about regret? You managed to thoroughly confuse and entertain someone at the same time! You should be proud!

Only if that fanfic I have planned with him, her, and Lil' Pip goes in a really weird direction.
