Is there any book/movie/show etc where armor is actually useful? Because we keep seeing guys dying even if they are wearing full plate armor by little more than a wooden stick poking their chest, figuratively speaking. Not a spear, a wooden stick.

The armor we see in entertainment seems to be made of butter rather than steel it seems. Why would you even bother wearing it? Granted in video games, it seems to work.

I'm gonna put up random thoughts or just pics I like that are relevant to MLP:FiM. So for my first post I'm going to put up the full image of what my Avatar is.

Twilight Sparkle's preferred ground vehicle.

Bradley M6 Linebacker (M2A2 ODS with 4 FiM-92 Stinger missiles)

Adorkable and awesome all round vehicle.

Can fight ground and air targets and has enough free space to transport a small library.

I know it's kind of a trope, and people are using it less now, but I still see Plot Armor come up every now and then so I thought I'd put my two cents in on the subject.

When a character has Plot Armor it's generally taken that they are invaluable to the story and thus we can feel safe in the assumption that they will be around until the end. I would argue that that is largely true-- with one caveat: Plot Armor makes one invaluable to the story but beatings still apply.

Check out the Shining Armor POV and see what a broken hearted brother does when he meets his friend who was one of the assassins.

Ello. As you could tell from the title, my new story "Broken Armor" is now up and ready to read. Here's how I'm going to do it. Right now, the story currently has... five likes and two dislikes. If you like the story, please let me know with a like and/or a comment. If you dislike it, please tell me what I did that you... well, disliked in a comment. I am going to continue the story. So, here's a link to the story, and

To try and self motivate me to write and gain more experience, I’m at last making a sequel to one of my past works. Not sure how it will turn out, but hope all goes well.
Check it out now!

While I've had my ups-and-downs, I'd like to think I've generally improved over time. Bit scared to go back and cringe beyond belief at my earliest writing, but hey, can't forget your roots! Thank you to everyone who's helped me continued writing here!

The most recent chapter was as far as I planned, aside from some potential one-shot spin-offs maybe. I have the impression that people might want a more well-rounded ending though. How would you guys like to see it end? Anything you'd like to see?

The next chapter, Shining Armor's, is at the halfway point. Now I can complete the other half and make it one chapter, but might take two to three days to finish. If you guys want, I can split it into a two part chapter and try to get this posted tomorrow

Choice is yours.

Edit: Alright, everybody says full chapter so full chapter it is.

This blog post is for those who have read my story "Broken Armor". I felt that it'd be necessary to do this.

Twilight is mad at her teacher and Friends after she threw a fit she ran to her brother. Why you asked. Because they have talked before Queen took control of him.

Hi everypony!

A few months ago I took part in an Exquisite Corpse, where a group of people write a story based only on the previous chapter.

The fruits of our efforts is finally complete and ready for public eyes. Featuring many great writers such as DaOtterGuy, Decaf, Bicyclette, (who also organized the whole thing, big shoutouts to her), and many more.

Skallagrim went ahead and tested the same leather type (same piece even) with ranged weapons. You can see here that quality leather will stop or deflect crossbow bolts.
