Think there's a heaven where some screams have gone? ~Tori Amos - Silent All These Years

There's something about that line that gets me. It's so haunting and it's like a punch to the gut with its imagery. Easily my favorite line, which says a lot 'cause there's a lot of good ones in this song. 8) (So you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts // What's so amazing about really deep thoughts? // Boy, you best pray that I bleed real soon // How's that thought for you?)

We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl year after year

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from hell?
Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cold breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here

~Wish You Were Here~
~Pink Floyd~

All this over MLP?

I don’t care about “feminism” or “characterization” or any of that BULLSHIT. The old ones are not ‘generic’ or ‘shitty’ or ‘ugly’ or whatever you care to toss at it. They have fucking charm and appeal. Like the old dolls at antique stores. You wouldn’t understand that though because you’re one of those ‘out with the old in with the new’ people. I know you personally so I can say this with confidence. Don’t go talking about shit you don’t really understand. You don’t collect MLP, you don’t collect cute things, you don’t collect dolls or strawberry shortcake figurines or Hummels or Precious Moments. You collect robots.

lololololololol.

"You collect robots"? You mean Transformers or Robo Ponies? 'Cause now I'm thinking Transformer!Ponies and that'd be the best of both worlds. 8)
