//------------------------------// // Socks and More // Story: Equestrian Fanfiction // by Lise //------------------------------// Never ever try wearing socks! I spent a huge amount money on getting a set done based on MC materials and when I finally got them... well things weren't as I imagined. It took me half an hour just to get them on. Next time I'm calling a unicorn to help. (If there's a next time.) But wait, it doesn't end there! The things are terribly uncomfortable. Somehow they manage to combine the worst of tight and loose: tight enough to feel weird, and loose enough to fall off after ten steps. Good thing my brother went back to school or I'd never hear the end of this. Originally, I was thinking about having my picture taken with them, but now that I saw what I look like. Nope! So much for sticking to realism. @SweetStuff, can your sis fix them for me? I want to be based on the idea but be at least moderately functional. PaintDrop @PaintDrop: Aww :) I'll ask, but I'm not sure she will :( She's moping over some argument she got with Brush :/ Wouldn't tell me what happened. Instead, just locked herself in her room to "focus on her work". Have any pics you can send? Hmm, I'm maybe I'm thinking I could get her to make some for me. She's been pestering to make my "music sensation" outfit ever I started doing that album with Octavia (who is great, by the way!). I guess asking a set of socks falls within that category >:D SweetStuff Typical. Someone says "don't do this" and ten others rush to do it. :/ Brush has been sad all day today as well. No hint why. She'd just come by, start rambling, sniffle a bit, then go off somewhere. If I wasn't worried I'd be annoyed. Anypony have an idea what's going on? Grumpy @Grumpy: Brush just needs some space. With everything happening lately, we could give her that much, don't you think? CEOWitch I bet I will look awesome in socks. @Jade, what do you think? ;) AwesomePony @AwesomePony: Stop! Wait! Let me get some popcorn! Feather @Feather: Huh?! AwesomePony @AwesomePony: You're about to embarrass yourself in front of everyone and I want to watch it happen live! :D Feather @AwesomePony: Sorry, Ponyville already has enough scarecrows. If anypony would look good in socks it would be Jade. MixaMax ...we're not having a discussion on socks! Right? Right?! *yay* it! I think socks could be awesome. Well, based on pictures I've seen. I wonder, though. How would horseshoes on humans look? I mean I can imagine them on the sole of the boot, but how would that actually work is beyond me. Do we have any griffins or dragons in the site? RRBB Socks are pretty meh. Really, what's so special about socks. Though I guess shaving your fur off would feel weird. Hmm. Grumpy @MixaMax: Why in Equestria would I wear socks?! Did you do an all nighter yesterday? :/ @AwesomePony: If socks would improve your grammar I'm all for it. Hay, I'll buy you a set myself! Jade Yesss! AwesomePony Did you know that there have been humans who have entered Equestria? On one occasion the occurrence was by accident hand required the human's memories to be wiped clean before it was returned to its proper place. S.Child is said to have spoken with humans on multiple occasions, which in part is where the ideas of Midnight Castle got their human element. Speculator7 @Speculator7: I was getting worried something might have happened to you. You haven't been posting conspiracy theories in a while. @Grumpy: have you ever read MC? It's explicitly described that human skin is completely smooth. Smoother than a dragon, I think it was said. LightSparkle What the?!? Socks? PaintDrop, you're sick! Also, I could magic you a set. I could magic everyone a set. TrueSparkle And then we'll have the night of the walking socks... no thanks :/ You always manage to mess things up big time! TheRealLuna @TheRealLuna: I was thinking, can you make like anything in dreams true? RRBB @RRBB: You want me to give you socks in your dream? -.- TheRealLuna @TheRealLuna: Ha, ha. No. Can you have me get a shared dream with someone? RRBB Freedom! (For 10 minutes, at least.) I love socks! And good question about the dreams. It would be so cool to be able to speak to humans in our dreams. @TheRealLuna, please make it happen? Please? O:) LyraHands Hello, Equestria. I found this place by accident as I was looking things in the aethernet after reading Everhere and must say this place is great. I didn't even know there were so many fan stories (or that there were series before Everwhere). What I wasted to say is nice to meet you all! :D Plust @Plust: Hey, hey! Always great to see a new Nightling. I'm LyraHands. Usually I'm here a lot, but I've had to be absent for a while. That changes tomorrow though, for I'll be back at full force! Don't be afraid if some of the members are a bit wild (or that the occasionally weird topic pops up). Everyone here is happy to help you should you need something. Just be cool, read, write, and have fun :D LyraHands @LyraHands: Thanks :) Plust @REBB: I'm a dragon, what ya need? Feather Ponies without fur don't equate a human. Also, going by the griffin / dragon analogue they wouldn't need shoes anyway! Based on the way their feet function, it's say the shoes must be made of cotton (anything harder would bruise them) with the soles being covered in hard leather. MixaMax Actually, there are some species in the wild whose feet resemble those of a human. From observation I know that their feet are flexible and thus wearing socks would be the same as dragon's wearing gloves, yet on their feet. It's quite fascinating really! Feet and toes are very different from hooves. Not as durable, but they could have their uses. We could say that shoes are actually a human type of horseshoe, only adjusted to be used on feet. DarkSparkle ... Please tell me you didn't transform your hooves into feet to experiment. TrueSparkle Rotfl! :))) LightSparkle Well, I wouldn't say I transformed my hooves... DarkSparkle Eww! Gross! I can't believe you'd try something like that! Grumpy No, no, no! It's not what it sounds. I didn't transform my hooves! DarkSparkle This thread is getting too weird for me. Locked.
