Fan claims to be Twilight's fiance
Hello to all my Brony friends! I'm back for another rant. Today I'm talking about sort of an odd story...
Just recently, an upset fan contacted a clop artist. For those of you who don't know what a clop artist is, I'm not going to delve into that here; I have another blog entry discussing 'clop'. Anyways, back on topic. The fan did not like the fact that this particular clop artist has been known to draw Twilight Sparkle quite often, and asked him to stop. His reasoning? This is where it gets sort of odd. The fan claimed to be Twilight Sparkle's fiance, and that they were planning to get married soon.
Yes, married. Here is the letter he sent the clop artist:
Alright, now I'm all for people doing whatever makes them happy, but this is getting on the ridiculous side of things.
Before I delve further into this, I realize that the writer may very well be a troll. For the sake of argument I'm going to assume this claim is genuine.
We've all probably had a cartoon crush at one point or another. It's perfectly natural to see a personality you find appealing and turn it into affection. To tell you the truth, growing up I had a massive crush on Rogue from the 90's X-Men cartoon. Hell, I see a lot of people on the internet who have a 'Waifu'. For those of you who don't know, a Waifu is a term used for a fictional character that fans consider their significant other. While this is usually all in good fun, this man just seems to have taken it way too seriously.
In the end, he's not really hurting anyone I suppose; anyone except himself. Listen, it's fine to do what makes you happy; but this is all an illusion that could hinder his relationship with real human beings. He may be happy with this little charade now, but years down the line I'm sure he will feel differently.
Also, I must address the fact that he lays claim to a fictional character. As a fan, I don't care how far you want to take your obsession with a show, but you can't go around claiming characters as your own. Anyone can make an absurd claim like that, it doesn't make it true.
For instance, I'm going to make a claim right now:
I am now lord of Mars. The planet is mine by right, and I will not allow N.A.S.A. to continue sending rovers to my home.
So, I have now claimed ownership over Mars. Does that mean I own the planet, and others should back off? No, it doesn't; I just look like a fool. It doesn't matter how much I enjoy my fantasy, it's just wrong.
Anyways, that's my two cents on this story, what do you guys think?
TL;DR Version:
I now own Mars. Deal with it.
