Forum: General Interest Checks
Note: I've been a little busy these past few days, hence the lack of replies/updates, but this is certainly still a thing. Feel free to keep the discussion going!
Vash flinched as the dragon made its presence known, not expecting something so menacing, so insanely fast, so… legendary. His gaze remained locked on the creature for a few seconds as his mind raced, trying to think up a plan of action, before Vash choked on the toxicity spreading through the air, and he quickly pulled the fabric of his coat up over his mouth. Glancing over his shoulder, he caught a glimpse of the entire team together — everyone having just been thrown into a fight with the mighty dragon. In particular, his eyes widened sadly as he caught sight of poor Whitney, the girl who was so afraid to see anyone else die, caught in the middle of it all as she struggled to withstand the dragon’s poison.
He then watched as various party members, particularly Archer, prepared to strike, and almost instinctively, Vash prepared to stop them. But, he hesitated. His thoughts returned to the last dragon they fought in that cavern. Very quickly, the fight turned from trying to defend the dragon to needing to defend his teammates, and himself. And that’s when Vash realized: he couldn’t handle a fight like this the same way he handled fights on Gunsmoke. While a human life could be so easily extinguished with a single bullet, a dragon like this was not at all the same. He didn’t have to worry about anyone taking it down with a single blow. With the previous dragon, it seemed unlikely; with this dragon, it seemed impossible. It would, no doubt, take everyone quite a few hits to bring the dragon anywhere near death. In the case of his teammates, though…
The sound of a gunshot rang through the area, soon followed by another, as Vash fired an expertly aimed shot at the base of each of the dragon’s wings, hoping to at least somewhat limit the amount of pollen being thrown into the air. Vash still didn’t approve of killing the dragon, and if the others’ attacks started to go to far, he wouldn’t hesitate to step in. But as things currently stood, his teammates needed protection from that dragon far worse than the other way around, and he couldn’t allow the dragon to harm any of them.

I like it, it puts a more serious/adult perspective on the Doctor Who Universe. Basically, how dangerous something such as say a Cyberman really is when the Doctor isn't around to save the day.So I'd recommend that any Whovian at least give it a shot.Just note coming in that they do put a lot of focus on the other members of Torchwood too and it's not going to be a show focusing primarily around Captain Jack most of the time.
Oh, yeah, I've heard of the general gist before. It's not that I don't want to watch it. I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
Mostly because Classic Who is 26 seasons long.
My post could take a while...
Edit: Never mind!

@Names: Captain Orange Jello? XDBut if you watched Torchwood you'd learn that Captain Jack Harkness isn't his real name. He stole it as a cover from a Renowned Captain who was killed in the 20th century.
Oh. That would explain it. Neither of us have gotten around to watching Torchwood.
So a while ago, I said that I didn't wanna post about the things Henry did that legitimately annoyed me, and that instead I would only post her funny, quirky moments.
I changed my mind. Time to talk about my bizarre love-hate relationship with Henry.
So last Saturday night, we went out to get food together at one of the late-night dining halls here on campus. While we were there, we wound up talking about plans to get off-campus one of these weekends. I had already tried planning an off-campus trip a couple of times, particularly to go cosplay shopping and now also to get the new Super Smash Bros game, but work or w/e had always come up and I was never able to go anywhere. Henry told me that she desperately wanted to leave campus just to “enjoy the atmosphere” and wander the fuck around town just because she could. So, she said she wanted me to go with her that Sunday (which was tomorrow at the time). I tried to tell her that I wasn’t interested.
I spent at least ten minutes trying to tell her that I wasn’t interested.
Why was she so adamant on trying to get me to go? Well firstly, she seems to have a hard time understanding the fact that people can have different interests from her, as she acts under the assumption that I’m into Sherlock and Merlin and Supernatural which I’m not despite telling her this a thousand times. But secondly and perhaps more importantly, she said she was too afraid to go alone, even in broad daylight, as she was too paranoid that she’d be chopped up into little pieces and hidden someplace. Now, I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned this before, but she is the most paranoid person on the planet, as she’s convinced that the NSA is keeping an eye on her personally in order to let everyone in the government know exactly what she’s up to, among other things, so this doesn’t exactly surprise me — it just annoys me. Increasingly. She told me that ever since she was five years old, she was told to never go anyplace alone, for fear of all the horrible people in the world. I told her she wasn’t five years old anymore, and that she can’t go her entire life always needing someone by her side to take her around town. It just isn’t possible. This did not convince her, as she continued to cry “buddy system!” in response to everything I said. I eventually conceded and told her there was nothing wrong with being cautious. However, since I didn’t want to be her babysitter, I told her that she would have to find another friend.
She then told me that I’m her only friend.
This explains so much.
I then told her that she needs to learn how to make some fucking friends, as being her only friend is not good for my sanity. She claimed that it was impossible for her to make friends, as everyone she ever talked to ran away since she creeped them out. I called bullshit, since she’s not that weird (at least not in public). In response, she told me that she’s just really terrible at talking to other people and that she never has any idea what to say. I told her that she needs to at least try, since she can’t avoid everyone her whole life, and that I’ve seen her talk to people before, and that she’s not that weird, blah blah blah… My attempts at convincing her of this went about as well as the whole buddy system debate.
At some point in the conversation (and I have no idea how this came up… as I don’t remember when exactly it was mentioned and I’m pretty sure Henry jumped into it with no transition anyway), she suddenly said to me, “Do you know what I do at night while you’re asleep? Most nights, I like to head down to the first floor and just wander around, especially near the vending machines. I have some peeps I like to hang out with down there.”
I… I guess that explains this. I mean, I never asked, but, now I know.
Also, in writing this, it occurred to me that she basically just told me that she has other friends, and she seems to have no problem spending time with them. What the hell.
Oh, and I should probably mention that, throughout the night, Henry spoke with a sort of on-and-off Scottish accent that was with her only about half the time, and that I’ve never heard her use before. I have no idea where it came from, and I never asked or commented on it.
Anywho, when we left to head back to the dorm, it was freezing outside. I think she kind of bumped into me at some point, because I remember that I touched her for like all of half a second and then said, “HOLY SHIT YOU’RE WARM LET’S BE PENGUINS” and I sort of buried myself inside her coat. She apparently found this hilarious in an awkward sort of way, and said, “You know, most people take me out to dinner first!” and I wound up yelling back “We just did go out to dinner!!” just as another group of people walked by. I then apologetically whispered to her, “People are gonna think you’re a lesbian again”, as she at one point told me that this was a thing that happened when she was in high school. She then told me, “People better not ship this!!”. I figured it was important that I relay those exact words to you guys.
At any rate, it was a fun walk home. The next day, she apparently actually did work up the balls to go exploring on her own (quite impressively… o.o ) as she returned to the dorm with kettle corn that she was awesome enough to share. Later in the day, though, something interesting happened… We were visited by a guy who lives on our floor named Jacob. He sounded super friendly, and just said he wanted to get to know us better, and that we should all meet up and hang out sometime. The exchange only lasted a minute or two, but Henry sounded super nervous and awkward the entire time, and when he left, she quickly shut the door and said, sounding rather exasperated, “Ugh! He’s finally gone!!”
So of course, I asked why Jacob bugged her so much. She said, “he just kept trying to talk to me! He won’t leave me alone!”, when, based on everything she’s told me so far, all he’s done so far is occasionally knock on the door and say hi to her in the halls. It’s not like he’s stalking her or anything — far from it. When I asked why this was such a problem for her, she said that she couldn’t explain it, and that he just “gave off a certain vibe”, even though he seemed perfectly friendly to me. And then, her exact words:
Henry: You’d think he would’ve gotten the hint last time I didn’t answer the door.
Me: ….Wait, so, you’re saying he came by earlier and knocked on the door, and you didn’t answer?
Henry: Yeah. You’d think he would get the hint that I didn’t wanna talk to him!!
Me: …Henry. If he knocked and you didn’t answer, don’t you think he’d assume you weren’t home?
Henry: …….
Me: I mean, it’s not like he could’ve seen you in here, or known in any other way that you were home… and students aren’t exactly in their dorms 24/7… Plus, it’s kind of rude to just not answer the door at all.
Henry: It is?!
And she wonders why she can’t make friends.

Except, the fact that I didn't have internet meant that I wouldn't have been able to receive your requests.
See why I was so bored? @_@ I have a million online resources for things to do when bored... but because they're all online resources...
“Close the door!!” the Doctor gasped, bolting past Rose and hastily slamming the doors shut. “With any luck, the Master’s still stuck inside this TARDIS.” he spoke quickly, still breathing heavily. “Just so long as the doors stay closed, I think that’ll contain him. If he gets out now, the results could be disastrous. Especially since I don’t even know where or when I… wait.” he cut himself off from his panicked rambling, and sharply turned to look at Rose — his body still pressed up against the TARDIS doors — and stared at her for a few seconds before he continued to speak. “…Who are you?” he asked. “And, how did you even get in here? No! Wait, hold on,” he quickly spoke up again before Rose could answer, starting to step away from the doors and towards the unfamiliar girl. “…You called me ‘Doctor’.” he spoke, slower now, trying to sort out his thoughts. “So then, does that mean… that… …Have we met?” he asked, sounding rather confused and perplexed at the situation.

Personally, I like the idea, but I think it should be somewhere in the middle. Where the altercation is already widely accepted, but isn't in fulll development. I would like to think it would be because a new set of Alicorn princesses came it and decided that it needed to be a G3 utopia. This is perhaps 50 years after their arrival and nearly 2 thirds of the world is G3, and then we see a select group of resistance based in Ponyville, trying to convince everyone of how it is now is not how the world should be, and that conflict is natural. Also, wouldn't it suggest that all the zebras and bison and such are no longer around? So, maybe the resistance is the non-pony characters of the world, and perhaps, they end up being eliminated because they refused to reform? Just an idea, but I really like this.
Hmm, I like this idea of yours. As for the non-pony characters, yeah, it would make sense if they're part of the resistance, since they don't seem to be in the G3 canon at all, which would have... implications. But yeah, having it set halfway makes a lot of sense.
The question though is where a new set of Princesses would come from. I was thinking of having a non-pony character, preferably some sort of one-of-a-kind creature like Discord or something. It would make a lot of sense for them to disguise themselves as an Alicorn, though, in order to overthrow Celestia and Luna.
