[9/22/13 11:26:49 PM] Viricide Filly|iKira (Applejack): i just don't like them being thrust in my face all the time. [9/22/13 11:29:12 PM] Feffernoose: We weren't trying to rub anything in particular in your face, we were more trying to show Twily how there were better alternatives to hypno [9/22/13 11:29:48 PM] Viricide Filly|iKira (Applejack): And it turned into they're all depressing kids [9/22/13 11:30:24 PM] Feffernoose: *depressed, as in, with actual problems, and not "all" [9/22/13 11:30:43 PM] Feffernoose: Mostly trying the point out that that is why /I/ did hypno, and a lot of people in this room, and a lot of people I met in #PH [9/22/13 11:31:16 PM] Viricide Filly|iKira (Applejack): It just felt insulting is all. [9/22/13 11:31:17 PM] Viricide Filly|iKira (Applejack): Sorry. [9/22/13 11:31:35 PM] Feffernoose: I see how that could have been insulting and I'm really sorry for that. I don't want to hurt you, you're my friend [9/22/13 11:31:46 PM] Viricide Filly|iKira (Applejack): It's okay. [9/22/13 11:31:49 PM] Viricide Filly|iKira (Applejack): Viricide Filly|iKira (Applejack) hugs [9/22/13 11:32:12 PM] Feffernoose: Feffernoose hugs you and nuzzles at your ear [9/22/13 11:32:54 PM] Viricide Filly|iKira (Applejack): #mindhack is just starting to make me doubt. [9/22/13 11:33:08 PM] Viricide Filly|iKira (Applejack): And without doubt I can't be who I really am, which is Applejack [9/22/13 11:34:28 PM] Feffernoose: Applejack is an identity that you are comfortable with, which makes you happy in yourself [9/22/13 11:34:35 PM] Feffernoose: That is wholeheartedly admirable [9/22/13 11:35:23 PM] Feffernoose: Of course I've had the same experience--thinking of myself as Feffernoose to feel good about myself when in reality of course I could just be Daniel Fucking Rauchenberger, it gets confusing. Worrying. You wonder if everyone's just lying to you. [9/22/13 11:36:36 PM] Feffernoose: If there's one thing I think people will discourage, is the notion that you literally are Applejack, perhaps from another universe. If however you look at it in that you look like Applejack, have a very similar personality to Applejack, have similar work ethics and have the same name as her, that I think is not discouraged [9/22/13 11:37:04 PM] Viricide Filly|iKira (Applejack): On 9/22/13, at 11:36 PM, Feffernoose wrote: > perhaps from another universe I'll be honest. [9/22/13 11:37:08 PM] Viricide Filly|iKira (Applejack): The thought's crossed my mind. [9/22/13 11:37:14 PM] Viricide Filly|iKira (Applejack): but it's stupid. [9/22/13 11:37:19 PM] Viricide Filly|iKira (Applejack): I'm stupid for thinking that. :PP [9/22/13 11:37:21 PM] Feffernoose: I understand why it's nice to think about [9/22/13 11:37:22 PM] Feffernoose: i really do [9/22/13 11:37:46 PM] Feffernoose: and it's really hard to accept that things like that just aren't true [9/22/13 11:38:57 PM] Feffernoose: I… I don't know how to help you there. It just takes some time. [9/22/13 11:39:59 PM] Feffernoose: But #mindhack will support you with whatever it is that makes you happy with yourself as long as you do not delude yourself too far. Being an Applejack-like character is admirable. She is strong, has great work ethic, is beautiful, honest, loves her friends. There is nothing wrong with that at all. [9/22/13 11:40:58 PM] Feffernoose: Believing that you are a pony in a human's body too is not discouraged, if believing such a thing makes you happier about yourself. If it just makes you sad that you will never physically occupy a horse body, that would be when we would discourage such behavior. We really just want everyone to be happy in whatever way it takes. [9/22/13 11:42:29 PM] Viricide Filly|iKira (Applejack): I'm not sad that I'm in a human body [9/22/13 11:42:33 PM] Feffernoose: Good :) [9/22/13 11:42:38 PM] Viricide Filly|iKira (Applejack): Which is why I'm spending effort trying to make it right [9/22/13 11:42:40 PM] Viricide Filly|iKira (Applejack): Into a female one [9/22/13 11:43:10 PM] Viricide Filly|iKira (Applejack): I'm going to make myself look like Applejack as much as I can just to feel a little more at home though. [9/22/13 11:43:13 PM] Viricide Filly|iKira (Applejack): I.E. hair [9/22/13 11:43:18 PM] Feffernoose: That's perfectly alright :) [9/22/13 11:43:18 PM] Viricide Filly|iKira (Applejack): Sometimes wearing a tail etc. [9/22/13 11:43:25 PM] Feffernoose: You'd look adorable in a cowgirl hat [9/22/13 11:43:37 PM] Feffernoose: Wearing a tail would be very cool--I myself wear pony ears every day :) [9/22/13 11:44:01 PM] Viricide Filly|iKira (Applejack): I'm gonna buy AJ ears too [9/22/13 11:44:06 PM] Viricide Filly|iKira (Applejack): and I'm getting a cowgirl hat o3o [9/22/13 11:44:08 PM] Feffernoose: :D [9/22/13 11:53:59 PM] Viricide Filly|iKira (Applejack): :3 [9/22/13 11:54:16 PM] Feffernoose: Feffernoose hugs you [9/22/13 11:54:27 PM] Viricide Filly|iKira (Applejack): Viricide Filly|iKira (Applejack) hugs back
