Description This picture started as an insomnia-driven procrastination doodle (or idea, at least). You see, I often watch Sean "Day[9]" Plott's dailies and other exploits while I vector. Day[9] is actually the thing that re-kindled the passion for StarCraft that was quenched by masses of zerglings in Brood War.

I'm not a good player, but I try to be better. Or at least I just Johnson around.

And just as Day[9] sometimes does, I got side-tracked and began filling the poor image with various Easter eggs and little details, but the basic structure still holds.
There is Though Hammer, or perhaps the Thoughthammer, using his puppet to perform one of his numerous dailies.

Just go to day9.tv and see what's up. If you want less analysis and more fun, look for "Funday Monday " - there's plenty entertainment right there, even if you've never seen SCII in your entire life.
And if you are a beginner player, check out "Newbie Tuesday ."

I think I missed a joke about Sean's plot somewhere.
I will personally grant a lama each person that spots a previously undiscovered Easter egg.

Just remember - there's nothing to it, Day[9] made me do it.

(I know I said I was busy with schoolwork, but seriously. Sometimes, I can't sleep, but at the same time, can't really think.)

Well, it solves the "no fingers only hooves" problem quite nicely, doesn't it? Llama to you.

Interesting, Puppet humans... Not exactly the weirdest thing I've seen...

And I'm not much of a fan for Monday's... Now Tuesday's... They be the day

Also, you never answered my question

Also, what question?

Lol

My question was: What are your thoughts on horror, then what do you think about ponies and horror put togeather?

Psychological horror is good, gore for gore is just crude and unnecessary. Shock horror is just silly.
But I guess some horror fics can build on the fact that the combination of horror themes and ponies will shock you while not having to resort to jump scares. But that could fall under the psychological horror, just more meta, I guess.
I don't think I've seen a really good pony horror picture. Read a few stories, played a game or two, but the pictures are usually just gore, fic illustrations or plain garbage.

Hmm, Interesting

For me horror is an entity, not I sense of physical but more towards mental or emotional.

For most people, when they hear/See 'Horror' they think Fear.

But, In all honesty horror itself relys on so much more, Fear, Hate, Anger, Sadnes, and even something not emotional bound.

Very seldom have I read something that effectively blends in the mind bending, thought tearing realism that would come from a horror, perhaps it's because of one demensional views... Many see it as Psychological, Survival, Hack and slash, Cosmic

But in the end it's... The same thing 'Horror' the epitome for showing the most basic of emotions, the key to reveal what actually make a person think, the object that decides fates for the strong and the weak.

Anywho... I think I'm rambling, doubt you really wanted to read that anyways

Would you be willing to check out something for me, for the purpose of me expanding my abilities?

Yeah, horror should attack the senses and play on the most basic of fears - darkness, unknown, gigantic, insane, revolting. But I usually only enjoy the kinds that have some depth in them.
Sure, I can check something, but I'm not sure how much I'll be able to do that now... You know, 30+ hours without sleep and whatnot.

Could read as far as you can(Or want to) let me know what you think

(Chs.11-13 I'm not to find of)

Just let me know how well I'm pulling it off, if you could leave a critique per chapter it'd be nice, but you are giving up your time so I won't ... Ask too much

Very well, also about the 30 hours no sleep, I'm in the same boat... Ish I've been up a good 42ish

I'm safe, still have another 30 hours before its dangerous
