blog-0370163001349215152.jpg-insert groans, facepalms, and complaining from the audience here-

 

 

So right now I have a splitting headache, and I'm in a ranty mood. So I feel I should rant about something stupid before my ranty mood turns into a bad mood and I snap off at someone. (Which I'll probably end up doing right here in this rant. Ooops~)

 

Today I'll be ranting about alicorns.

I actually had a novel of an essay written about this subject, but then I said "fuck it" and decided to just make this all short (or at least I hope to make it somewhat short) and just wing-it. Because I honestly really shouldn't be letting this topic piss me off so much.

 

And why does it piss me off?

 

Because many a month ago (in May), some little idiot verbally set my ass aflame because my ponysona is--OMG--an alicorn. =_=;

So this topic is personal. And not just because someone bit my head off, but also because this is the single most IDIOTIC ideology that I have ever come across.

 

 

So let me bust some of the most pettish "complaints" about alicorns into pieces, so I can get this bloody rant over with already.

 

"Alicorns are supposed to be rare and unique!!1! You shouldn't make one, as it makes them less rare!"

Except alicorns aren't rare and unique. In the show itself, there are already over 100 alicorns (Celestia, Luna, Cadance, Chrysalis, and her Changeling army {which actually probably number in the thousands, but I used 100 because it's smaller and I suck at math~}) So don't give me that BS. You could say the same about zebras, considering there is only ONE so far in-show. But have you ever seen someone get hell over having a zebra OC? Wolfie thinks not.

 

"Alicorn OCs are always overpowered BAAAWWW!1! Or they're always royal! WAAAH!"

And? So what? I mean, I can see that being a slight problem for you RPers out there. But then, you can always, oh I dunno, not allow those kinds of OCs into your RPs. icon_awesomeface.gif Or is that too much work?

But other than that, I see no problem. Did you know there are royal/overpowered OCs out there that are NOT alicorns? Yeah, they exist. And honestly, I've seen more of those kinds of OCs than the alicorn ones. You wouldn't believe all the unicorn princesses or uber strong earth ponies I've seen. xD

*shrug*

And what is so bloody wrong with wanting to be a princess/queen and/or a prince/king, anyways? O_o Or wanting to have so many powers that you are practically a god? The way I see it, if you want to do any of that, then have at it hoss.

Let your imagination go crazy.

 

"People who create alicorn OCs are just trying to be speecial snowflakeies!1!"

...Yeah, I'm still not seeing a problem here. I didn't know that was such a bad thing.

Did you know? Sometimes feeling special can cheer up a person, maybe even make them feel a little bit better about themselves. Oh but no, that isn't allowed; how dare you feel good about yourself!

Now, there is always the risk of someone getting a big head over feeling special, but that happens less than you think (surprisingly enough!)

 

Oh, and for the record, if anyone has an OC--be it an earth pony, unicorn, pegasus, zebra, mule, changeling, WHATEVER--you are automatically a special snowflake. And no, that is not a bad thing.

You see, by creating a pony OC--or pretty much any type of OC (not just pony)--you are trying to be apart of that world. Even if you create your own world within the universe, you are still trying to be apart of it. Trying to be, in a sense, special. And there is nothing wrong it.

So, to anyone who has any kind of OC, congrats, you're special in your own unique way. :)

 

 

Remember this my little alicorn haters; your glass house is just as easy to break as mine is. icon_awesomeface.gif

And don't cry "love and tolerance". I don't really follow that motto. And if I did, this would be one of the many exemptions to that rule, because in my eyes, anyone who follows this ideology does not deserve it.

The idea to hate on someone's own personal alicorn characters based on these baseless complaints is the most idiotic, petty, insolent mindset I have ever come across.

It is a fucking fake mythological breed of horse who--god forbid--happens to have a bloody horn and two bloody wings.

 

And I know all this just makes me as petty as the people I'm getting butthurt at, but I honestly stopped giving a fluff forever ago. If people are going to hate me, or anyone else, for a fake breed of horse, then I'll be hateful right back~ After all, hate is what makes the world go round~!

 

 

TL;DR:

This ideology is bad and you should feel bad! *flips all the tables* BROOKLYN RAAAEGGG!!

 

 

So, that is all. Thank. Luna.

 

Now I'm going to drink some meds, because my headache has gotten worse over the course of me typing up this dumb thing.

Bye. x_x

 

 

From your headache-induced alicorn-loving lurker,

Wolfie

Welp, I personally don't like Alicorns, of course I won't bash a person for having one, but the ones that really annoy me, are the "Lost brother of Princess Celestia" or the "The Original Creator Of the Elements Of Harmony" Those seem a bit Mary-sue'ish.

 

In some certain RP's, that can be a major problem because it affects the storyline, more than they realize, and it's not normal to see an Alicorn walking on the streets of Ponyville.

 

Also, Chrysalis isn't an Alicorn, she's the Changeling Queen, Changelings all have wings and horns, they're not Alicorns, and their powers are limited, to flying and shape-shifting IF they've been properly fed with love (oh gawd, what am I saying? xD)

 

Basically....

 

Alicorn OC = Seems good to me

 

Alicorn Ponysona = See, here's the problem

 

Ponysonas are your character that's basically a ponified version of yourself, so any dramatic story on where an Alicorn made the elements of Harmony is pretty much just shouting "MARY SUE" xD

 

But your character seems fine, I've seen an Alicorn named "Bloody Shot" their mane is Red with Black body, he killed Princess Celestia, married Luna, and became the ruler of Equestria, his Cutiemark is a Gun, and he's also striped with mechanical wings.

(Not kidding, I saw this guy on DA bragging about the pony he made in the Pony generator)

@,

Yeah, I can sorta see how alicorns related to the Princesses or are related/do super special awesome things can be a smidge annoying. But from my perspective, those kinds of characters (alicorns or not) are going to exist whether people want them to or not. So it's best to just... ignore them. *shrug*

And that whole "mary-sue" makes my head hurt. I mean pretty much anything is considered "mary-sue" nowadays.

Dark past? MARY-SUE! Happy-go-lucky past? MARY SUE! Average civilian pony? MARY-SUE! Anything else? MARY-SUE! Alicorn? INSTA MARY-SUE!!

*headdesk*

 

As for RPs, considering I don't RP, my opinion probably doesn't mean squat. I mean, if a simple alicorn will break someone's storyline, then don't include them obviously. My beef is where there are RPs that say "all equine breeds allowed EXCEPT alicorns because they just suck!1!"

I just find that childish, hateful, and petty. *shrug*

 

Haha, as for the Chrysalis and her changelings thing, I think me and you will just have to agree to disagree here. XD I see them as alicorns--or, to be honest, a sub-breed of alicorns. They are indeed changelings first and foremost, but I see them as alicorns as well. Just like when Rarity had butterfly wings, she was temporary a fluttercorn, which I also dub as an alicorn sub-breed.

In other words; if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck.

xD In my mind, anyways.

 

Indeed. But my ponysona doesn't even have any of that. She's just... there. xD She's based off my other personas, plus my love for winged-unicorns. Hell, her cutie mark isn't even a talent; it's based off of symbolism.

You see, when I created her, I was unaware of the fandom's hate for alicorns (not the whole fandom, just a good chunk of it...)

I never learned about it until about late April/early May, and I learned the hard way. ._.;

But I understand what you're saying (at least I hope I am.) When creating a ponysona, it is probably best not to make said pony's story to crazy, unless you yourself live a crazy life like that. So, yeah.

 

Basically, what I was trying to get at is this: Not every alicorn is born from the same package of bacon; there are indeed some rotten strips of alicorn in there, but people always seem to see them and throw the package out and not even bother to take a look at the rest of the bacon.

However, what few people who do, end up finding normal alicorns that taste just fine, and the superb alicorns that taste fucking epic~

 

But that's just me being butthurt I guess. *shrug* lolz

 

 

And lol, that sounds like a lulzy alicorn. That makes... 3 alicorns I've heard of with crazy stories like that. But hey, that's their pony. If they're happy with it, that's what matters.

...Though perhaps bragging about it is noooot a good idea. > n>;

(And sorry for the long reply--it wasn't supposed to get this long. x-x Oh, and I read "Bloody Shot" as "Bloody Snot". xD Wolfie can't reeeaaad~)
