Oh boy, memes · 11:35pm Oct 17th, 2020
The problem with these long questionnaires is that you end up spending more time filling yours out than reading other peoples'.
That's not just me, right? <.< Anyway, copied this from garatheauthor.
1. What is your first name?
Dan. I don't make a big secret of it. I am probably like every Dan you have ever heard of.
2. How old are you?
Ugh, too fucking old, ugh, I hate it.
3. What country are you from?
The Capitalist States of Make America Great Again :/
4. What do you look like?
Fat, ugly dude with glasses and a beard
5. What do you wish you looked like?
I just want superpowers that let me change my appearance at will when I get tired of it. No form can hold me for long!
6. How did you come across MLP:FIM?
Though it didn't get me into the fandom at the time, it was fanart of Grifofn the Brush-Off on Furaffinity.
7. What is your favorite ship?
Man, I dunno, it changes. I guess I have to say Twempest because reasons.
8. What is your least favorite ship?
Sparity's a good choice for that, as is anything incestual.
9.Have you told anyone outside the fandom that you like MLP?
I typically don't shut up about it.
Of course, this isn't talking about just other fandoms. <.< My immediate family know, as well as anyone I meet in the context of friends of friends.
10. Were they a family member?
I said that!
11. Favorite MLP episode?
Amending Fences
12. Who is your favorite superhero?
I've always really liked Nightcrawler and Gambit, being a huge fan of the X-Men. Also, Kamen Rider is a pretty cool guy, eh rider kicks and doesn't afraid of anything.
13. Favorite Anti-hero?
Never thought about that one. o.O Probably V? Is he an anti-hero? I'm not sure.
14. Favorite supervillain?
Ain't none of y'all gonna know who he is, but Infinitor from Sentinels of the Multiverse is one of the most excellently tragic characters I've ever seen.
15. Favorite anti-villain?
What the fuck is an anti-villain? A villain who does a heel-face turn somewhere? Oh god, I'm using TVTropes for this. Literally just reading down their list of examples. Okay, Armada Starscream is an excellent character. Killmonger from the Black Panther movie was also fucking amazing, oh my god. Ooh, they also mention Mr. Freeze, I like calling him an anti-villain. :D
16. What was the last book you read?
I literally have no idea, it's been so long. I guess if we're talking physical books, it's volume 1 of Background Pony. I mean, I listened to Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban recently, but that was all audiobook. I just don't read books anymore.
17. What is the last movie you watched?
I also have not watched any movies lately, because I mostly see them in theaters. ._. What was the last Marvel movie? Spider Man: Far from Home? No wonder I didn't remember. :B
18. Favorite song at the moment?
As much music as I listen to, I tend not to have favorite songs anymore. I am digging that "Excuse Me, but Could You Please RIP?" track that's got a remix contest going on at the moment.
19. What song do you always come back to?
The Veldt by Deadmau5
20. What is your current job?
I analyze the relevance of search terms in regards to online news articles. :B It's boring and doesn't pay well, and I think I'm just training AI (I don't know), which sucks.
21. What job do you want in the future?
There is no job I would ever want. Just give me the money to not have to worry about things and let me live on my own.
22. Dream job?
I don't see how this is different from #21.
23. At this moment what is your greatest achievement?
Reviewing over 6000 My Little Pony fanfics.
Yeah, that's it. :(
24. At this moment what is your greatest failure?
Oh god, I definitely should not have switched to an English major in college. Shoulda just gone back to computer engineering, I'd probably be an insufferable piece of shit nowadays, but at least I'd have money. D:
25. Do you have any pets?
One cat, though I don't consider her 'mine'. We're starting to form an understanding. <.<
26. What is your dream pet?
I have always wanted a pet skunk, but I also know that I am not the kind of person who should be taking care of animals on his own. D:
27. Do you own any weapons?
I have a katana under my bed. <.< Don't laugh. It's not actually sharp.
28. Is there a gun you really want?
I was gonna say 'no', but some kind of really fucking cool sci-fi laser gun would work
29. What religion are you?
None.
I'm not an atheist. I don't have a religion. They are different.
30. If you could hang out with one person in history, who would it be?
Trump, so I could smother him in his sleep before all this shit went down.
31. If you could bring one person back from the dead, who would it be?
Man, there's a lot of people who died young who would have done some greatness for the world otherwise. I can't bring anyone to mind.
Can I say my maternal grandmother? I never met her, she died two days before I was born, but I'm told we were a lot alike. :C
32. Are you political?
What a charged fucking question to be askyes, I'm very progressive but I try not to 'doom scroll' as they call it, I am very susceptible to anxiety because of all the bad news in the world. :(
33. Are you married?
Almost was once, but never got as far as planning the wedding. So no.
34. Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?
Nope.
35. Have a crush on anyone?
Nope.
36. Care to explain?
N/A
37. Do you consider yourself attractive?
Not in the least.
38. If you could spend a day with someone alive who would it be?
I dislike people, and the thought of having to spend an entire day with one person is just exhausting. I guess I could say my best friend, as he's not exhausting and he's currently sick. :B
39. Who is your favorite pony?
Tempest for some reason
40. Any embarrassing secrets you'd like to share?
I don't like being embarrassed. I've shared some of my high school-aged writing regardless. <.<
41. If you have done any stories/art, what is your favorite piece?
I've got a few stories I consider my funniest. DORP. Button Splash. I'm quite proud of Fast Times at Stinky Sugar. :D
42. Are you a virgin?
Nah.
43. What is the craziest thing you have done in your life?
Man, I don't do crazy. I have eaten some crazy foods, at least. This was a remarkably poor idea.
44. Favorite TV show besides MLP?
The only thing I'm watching right now is Kamen Rider. :B Den-O and Saber, if you care.
45. Do you have a fetish of any kind?
Anyone who answers this in the negative is a liar.
46. Do you regret saying this fetish?
I don't say it so I won't regret it. :)
47. What are some of your favorite MLP stories?
The answer lies at the bottom of this page.
48. Favorite quote?
Who has time to figure out what their favorite quote is? Let's go with "Change is God" from Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower, because it popped into my head just now.
49. Did you ever hurt someone's feelings just to hurt them?
I hope I do not have it in me to do that.
50. Did you answer all these questions honestly?
What's the point if you don't? :B Yes, yes I did. Omission is not dishonesty!
Nice nice. I'm curious why if you'd want to elaborate? I have a huge soft spot for Moondancer
probably because she's the only character except S1/S2 Twilight and Sci-Twi that I relate to properly, so :)Maybe I should do this...
5379984
It's the most tragic story ever.
Moondancer is so gay.
I like the part where they kiss. :)
Mostly, I'm just amazed that Larson decided to go back and rectify a "hey, wait, wouldn't?" kind of moment in the way a fanfic writer would. Only, y'know, extremely well, as many fanfic writers would not. :B
5379989
Ah, yeah, the part where they kiss is really great, but the whole subplot with Rarity getting jealous and Discord of all creatures giving the friendship lesson that three's a crowd... I don't know. You're right, it does seem like fanfiction.
I know who Infinitor is! Also, you're not ugly. So there.
It spreads...
Great answers! Except for the Amending Fences one... second worst episode is second worst, only behind Princess Spike.
5380002
I need to get some credit for this being the one who invented it
5380002
Now I know why they call you Famous Last Words. <.<
5380002
Not sure why everyone hates this episode.
You gotta share, you GOTTA care.
I've heard tons of olde-timey saloon piano medleys, and regardless of what happens in the rest of the episode, that song is the best thing ever written.
5380034
I just like to give people a hard time, lol. I'd say it's honestly a good episode for what it is, I just couldn't relate to anything that happened in it, but that's not the episode's fault. I'm just very much like... social and outgoing while Moondancer is a bit reserved, so I don't quite enjoy it like some people. However, objectively, I can admit it teaches a powerful lesson about learning from our mistakes and realizing our actions, purposeful or not, have consequences. That is a good lesson, indeed.
I would argue that depends on context. If you're refusing to say what your fetish is but at least acknowledging you have one, nobody would call you dishonest.
If you tell everyone about all the awesome things your new product can do but don't bother to mention any of the extremely negative side effects, I think most people would agree that's pretty dishonest.
I have two big honking broadswords I got as Christmas presents from a friend who had ordered them from Cold Steel (It was an excuse to get his *own* swords without his wife objecting, so I went along with it.) Plus I have a 'demo' katana which was the cheapest hunk of pretty that one of my friends got in 1980, broke the handle, and gave it to me. It is dull as the back of a bread knife, but I re-wrapped the handle with some epoxy, and it can hang on the wall proudly. Oddly enough, I don't even own a pocketknife, so if I need to carry something with a sharp blade, it's the ten-pound chopper :)
6K reviews is not just an achievement, it's a triumph and a historic legacy. Grats.
I’ll second Amending Fences as pure gold.
Not that my opinion carries any weight in this department, but: I don’t think you’re ugly, like at all. I’m sorry you’re that down on your looks.
I have screenshot evidence that one of my stories once held a top fifteen spot on your page for the better part of a glorious week
.

That top fifteen, she do change without warning. :B
