I've been thinking about making this thread for a while, now I'm making it because I might not get another chance later. looks like I'm gana be moving and will be without internet connection for a while. My new roomie says he likes to sing though so maybe I'll have someone to collab with IRL yay!
It was really easy for me to fall into a sort of rut of doing things because they benefited me. This is unfortunately the example I see all to often set by others, and we are all composites of all the people we ever have contact with. Since I started watching FIM I've got a renewed sense of honor in upholding the values of honesty, loyalty, laughter (making others laugh), kindness, and generosity. I really think these values could be like PLUR for a new generation. I've seen unbelievably supportive people on pony boards, even a story about a girl who credited Pinkie Pie for giving her the courage to face her past and fears of her abusive step father. It really gives me a reason to believe in the inherent "good" of people again.
As far as the music goes, art requires inspiration. I've heard in canon and fan music some of the most beautiful, inspirational, and intimidating sounds I've ever heard. Who knows if I would have ever had the courage to just go for it and start making stuff without that inspiration, it's really given me something to shoot for. I've got a few new ideas and I'm going to keep moving forward and getting better, to give back to this community that has given me so much.
Enough sappy crud about me, what about you brony? I'm sure there are some really good stories so lets hear em'
