  1. I love Cinnamon buns ;_;

  2. It was awesome to rewatcht the first episode in Japanese! By order of how appropriate the VA are to the portrayal of their ponies, I'd say : Fluttershy, she is extremely moe, indeed. Then Pinkie, Twilight, AJ, Rainbow and Rarity tied for least relate-able. There must be a cultural thing that I don't get with the portrayal of Rarity, the "over the top" part is kinda missing for me, but maybe it is "over the top" nobility for Japanese audience. She does speak very formally. As for Rainbow, I find that the boyish part is too bluntly played, again, cultural differences in perception and behavior are probably the reason. Tonikaku^^ (~anyway) I'm definitely watching this. Give the RAW a try if you are into learning Japanese! it's pretty understandable. Ja ne, minna ponii!
  3. @VelvetDivan That's why I made sure to put the word "brony" in both terms. I still think we are all Bronies and that there are just a few changellings undercover among us I wanted to make an homage to the humble beginnings of the community and put it in perspective. (I'm glad to see the merch at hot topic too^^)
  4. Who is "flinging" labels? My aim is to discuss this phenomenon and in order to talk about something one must first define what one is talking about. I quite agree. I am not bashing on newcomers at all. My only regret is for people who behave on this forum, in a far less civilized way, hurting the feelings of others. the Mane 6 don't just "tolerate" bullying or Chaos.
  5. Not sure if troll so I'll just respond seriously. I'll start by saying that you are right on the fact you don't deserve a title for it, if you don't desire it. When it comes to saying that you don't think anyone does, that is your opinion and I will disagree. I think we chose our title because we are proud of it. You have the right to simply like the show. What I strongly disagree with is you flinging words like "junk", "weird" and "dumb", despite the fact that I specified I wanted this to remain considerate of others. If others see something more valuable in this show, it should not be looked down upon.
  6. Well, Pepper Ridge farm remembers, I'd like to take you back to 2011, when a courageous few decided to step up for what they loved and created forums like this one. This was motivated by the message present in the show, itself. The first wave of bronies were people that discovered something more than just a cool show, they had discovered something that challenged the way they perceived life and relationships (not necessarily romantic). This wasn't a fad, but a genuine interest in changing your way of thinking and living into something more fulfilling. This show, managed to inculcate life lessons in a way that wasn't lame or moralizing. (I'm looking at you, G.I. Joe...) Therefore, people could actually relate to these messages in a personal way. It was a time when not many people would have considered it "cool" and you wouldn't have found a pony shirt at Hot Topic. The idea behind the community was to share your new life findings with other people that experienced them and discuss how they had lead your life in a happier direction. People came here looking for acceptance and understanding. People that didn't have many friends, or none because the social norm had prevented them from finding others capable of forgoing prejudice and cynicism. This made the community flourish with with positive and creative energy. leading the way, little by little, to a greater recognition and notoriety. As the popularity came, people that just thought it was "a cool show" started to pop-up. Now that it had become socially acceptable to like MLP: FiM just for the heck of it it, it had become -ok- for people who didn't care for the message at all, to like the show. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with "just" liking the show. Nevertheless I find that the bulk of the community has become scattered and we're at a point where I think it might be important to dissociate bronies into two categories : -Soul Bronies : Touched by the series message and trying to apply it's teaching to their daily life. -Fan Bronies : who are simply interested in the community, as a shared interest, like collecting stamps. I get the feeling that the second category seems to be the subject of complaint, when it comes to discussing more idealistic matters. Whereas the Soul bronies tend to have pretty broad minds and argue in a civilized way, some Fan bronies have been plaguing the climate of harmony that used to be predominating. My wishes for the community is to be able to accept others opinions and keep arguing to constructive criticism. If you couldn't tell by my words, I'm the first kind of Brony and this show has even taught me how to relate to my wife better, at age 25. I am happy that some of you have found comfort and solace in this community and wish you all a happy life. CB So what do you think of this? Do you notice those two kinds of Bronies? Do you consider the community homogenous? What are your thoughts on the community in respect to when you joined the fandom?
  7. I play solely wind instruments. I started with the recorder in middle school (supposedly lame) and then I went on to play the Ocarina, once I learned it was a real instrument. Some time later, A friend gave me a tin whistle since I like Celtic music. Now, this is my collection. It's cool to see more whistle players^^ Anypony esle plays the ocarina?
  8. I'll say my top 8 in the order I find them: Nimbassa City, Pokemon Black/White Final Fatasy VI (III) Soundtrack (pretty much the entire thing) here is the ending theme (a medley of a lot of themes) The place I'll return to someday, Final Fantasy IX Sandy Badlands, Final fantasy VII (this is an acquired taste^^) Main Theme, The Windwaker (this is one of my absolute favorites to play on the tin whistle) Cherry Blossom Storm, Okami Route 110, Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire Gusty Garden Galaxy, Mario Galaxy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-z2kxFCQ_mQ Hope some people (re)discover and enjoy some of this
  9. I see what you mean and if it were any other forum, I wouldn't post in a similar thread yet fellow bronies and pegasistas have the unique ability of tolerance. allow this thread to not turn into a hate zone of a flame war of ideas. I think we can cultivate civilized disgreement. Mares? Gentelcolts?
  10. Not bad, but a little bit all over the place. It needs to be a little bit rephrased or clearer, I start missing the point at the end of verse 3 Question : are you a native english speaker? I'm saying that because of your name If I my offer some advice: try not to use too many lexical fields if they are not instrumental to your topic (the word "variable" sticks out ALOT) you can forgo the complicated syntax since you're writing in prosa There needs to be unity in the text. people have to get that it's still the same poem. The implications of time, (somewhat peace) and desire are absent from the text. Spelling oddities: did you mean resounding? "Among this melancholy, still" would make more sense I hope you appriciate constructive criticism^^
  11. Mind=Blown I got 271 and YES my favorite thing is teaching! I've been enjoing tutoring teens and teaching martial arts since I was 16... My gosh! I feel so predictable all of a sudden . It is interesting to see how conditioned to certain social roles our caracters make us.
  12. Hi there, fellow brony! Can I simply ask you what drove you befriend me?

      Ok, odd...

      Thanks, I thought the mustache joke was the only redeeming quality that episode had...

      so... I see you play bass, that's cool. There's a specific "Tom & Jerry" episode you might like. That's what made bass cool in my mind.

      I play the Ocarina and the Tin whistle amateurishly. I'd like to take flute classes at some point too. Winds are my favourites (no offense ^^) and the flute is my holy grail of winds.

       

      So, tell me something abo...

      about me? I pretty much covered everything in my about me page

  13. Long story short : I started calling my wife "Honey bunny", in referece to Pulp Fiction and over the course of time it became Honey bun. So to retaliate, she started calling me Cinnamon bun, since my skin is darker. Then I thought it would make a good Pony name. I happen to love Cinnabons a lot too, but that's a story for another thread
  14. From a 24yo martial artist : Every phase in life has it's pupose. Childhood is for learning by trial and error, Teens are for learning how to interact in different social groups and adulthood is when you're thrownn into the fray. Cons: The problem with adulthood is the heavy cost of mistakes. You're expected to have learned what not to do by then and get severly punished for not doing so. The other problem is resisting becoming a mindless drone. For that it is important to have at least 30 minutes a day in which you cultivate your true self (this, for some of us is watching MLP, sometimes, surely^^). This allows you to not lose focus of who you truly are and that there is something you can relate to and like in this time, despite your financial, social, professional situation. This is not supposed to be an escape from reality (this is not watching garbage for the sake of watching something on TV). this is reminding yourself what is important to you. It's like in video games, Adulthood is harder in a "more challenging" way. Now the Pros Your opinion is finally sarting to be worth something since you're an adult Your decisions WILL have to be respected. You're the one steering your life to places. You can be friends with people ages 16 to 100 and it's not weird. People who are important to you have a deeper impact on your life. Longterm relationshinps are the new frontier. Feel free to articulate around or disagree with my thoughts. Hope this will be useful to you, someone else
  15. *breath in* I think god is a concept, not a being Spike's S3 episode was annoying, except for a few gags (I'll wear this mustache) FPS are overrated and uncreative and only LANs are slightly enjoyable. I havn't even bothered checking what Dubstep is. The Lorax was the best animated movie I saw since Toy story 3. Movie commentaries are awesome and provide you with a deeper understanding of that film. Sarcasm is almost always annoying and condescending. I am grateful for grammar nazis, as spelling properly is important. Alright, I'm glad I got that off my chest ^^ thanks "person who started this"
