  1. Not on purpose, have not touched the settings. I don't know, maybe I'm just being a derp face. And no, I'm doing the full refresh of the page, not backspace.
  2. I used to hide the fact that I watched ponies. I showed it to my best friend, but she wasn't that interested. Still, she was accepting of the fact, because there are a lot of things that we like the other isn't into, and we're cool with that. However, even though I tried tried to watch the show in secret, with four siblings it's hard to keep anything from them. Plus, the fact that I got episodes on the Wii from YouTube for my little sisters didn't help. Although being a girl did help my case a little. So, my family kind of knew, and I figured they were just ignoring it. I mean, I liked Anime, and Wicked the Musical, and other things, and they were just fads and phases, so so what. Well, come Christmas of 2011, I opened up Twilight Sparkle's Twinkling Balloon and a G3.5 Sweetie Belle. Hey, my little sister picked it out, she couldn't understand... (But I did ask to exchange it.) So that was really a surprise, to finally see my family supportive of such an odd interest for someone of my age. But, I was still wary of letting friends know. However, as the months passed, I found other adult fans online, as well as seeing a few people on my Facebook feed posting about ponies. So I realized that I wasn't the only one, and it wasn't super weird. I've opened up more about my like of ponies, since I've made friends in real life now that like it, and some of my old friends have come to like it. Last year, I moved to Washington. Now, I was living in Arizona, with my parents and siblings, and that was all the family there was. Up in Washington, I have grandparents and aunts and uncles and cousins. So when people ask, 'what have you been doing lately', it's a little hard to respond with, 'hanging with guys that like My Little Pony'. I mean, I could say just, 'hanging with friends', but then they as, 'what did you do?' Well, we watched MLP and talked about MLP. Yeah, somehow no matter how coy I try to be, the conversation steered towards Bronies. So now I think much of my family up here knows about my involvement. Considering I met all the friends I have in Washington through meet-ups, kind of hard to get away from it. Plus, I'm a member of Everfree Northwest staff, and I went to the convention last year, and they all wanted to know what I was doing, and yada yada... But I don't really think they care. I have a couple female cousins that I've tried to tell about Everfree Northwest, and of course their parents have to know about it and all that jazz. So pretty much, secret is out now, all over my Facebooks, "I'M IN LOVE, I'M IN LOVE, AND I DON'T CARE WHO KNOWS IT!"
  3. I wasn't sure one way or the other when I looked at the topic title, but the poll puts the question differently: "Will Twilight forget about her wings during a time when they would be helpful?" Okay, with that scenario, I'm going to say yes. Because that sounds cliche and like something that would happen in a kids cartoon. Twilight: "The cliff is crumbling! How will we escape? Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy can each carry somepony, but that still leaves two of us!" Applejack: "Uh, Twilight, you can fly now too, y'know." Twilight: *Lifts wings, examines them.* "Hey, you're right! We're saved!" It will emit laughter from children, while the Bronies shall facehoof.
  4. This is correct. I have been on forums before and understand all these options. However, I am viewing Topics and Posts, and see a bunch of topics there that I did not start. I'm just not seeing all the ones I've posted in, is the problem. Yes, I know what I'm doing. Okay, here's my problem. So, I go to view My Content, right? And I look at a bunch of topics, then refresh the page to see if there's anything new. When there stops being anything new, I go to View New Content or the "big blue button." And then I look through that stuff, and I've seen a topic posted in a few minutes ago that I KNOW I posted in, but didn't show up in My Content. And yes, I did check to be sure I made a post in that topic. So it's like, My Content doesn't update at the same time as the View New Content button does, or something.
  5. Hello there! Well, from what I've seen, the content rules are pretty lax. But, take a look at the Board Rules, since I guess you haven't if you have to ask about content. In my opinion, I think violence would be alright, but not excessive gore and junk like that.
  6. If you need them to elaborate, you are obviously not a Nerdfighter. XD It's not like an exclusive club or super obscure joke, it's like... if you made a thread on another forum asking if people were Bronies and someone didn't know what that meant, you aren't necessarily looking to bring people into it, just find others with a similar interest.
  7. Yes! I see that I am next! Excellent... Excellent... Dangit, why most posts require so many characters? I am simple yet effective in my words!
  8. Posting on a forum... Sitting in a chair. Looking at a computer screen. Typing. Wearing fingerless gloves.
  9. Hey there. So I've noticed over the past couple of days that when I go to the Find Content on my Profile, not all the threads that I have posted in show up. Like, I'll look through my content and get through viewing new posts in threads, and then go to the View New Content button and see threads that I know I posted in, but that didn't show up with new replies in my content. Any idea what this might be happening?
  10. Hello there! I'm a bit new to the forum, but I do like to Roleplay. I was wondering if anyone would like to participate in a dream world thread. It would star Princess Luna, making her way through a night of likely bad dreams. Of course, there wouldn't be anything wrong with stopping by a good dream, but the majority should be nightmares. I would be playing Princess Luna, and you can find my version of her here. I feel that I keep her pretty close to how we see in show, however, I don't use all the "we"'s and "thou"'s and all the old speech. I say that after Nightmare Night, Luna practiced and learned how to speak more modernly, although she still has a regal air about her. That said, this is how I imagine the thread would work. Everyone post in here which character you would like to use. In the RP thread, everypony would have to take a turn interacting with Luna. So everyone that posted here would be in a queue, and after Luna handled one dream/pony, she would move on to the next. When the next person is up, I'll post in the OOC and wait for a response, to make sure the person is still active and around. I'll give two days for response the OOC topic when it's your turn, otherwise you will be skipped. Of course, if the skipped person comes back, then they will be next. Anyone interested?
  11. Oh hey, I was thinking of making this topic the other day. I saw the movie when I was younger... I didn't know what it was about, just saw the description and thought, 'hey, cartoon about rabbits, I'll check it out'. ALL CARTOONS ARE NOT FOR KIDS. However, the animated series is considerably less dark, has anyone else seen it? I watched it all the way through.
  12. I don't make plushies, but do you know how to follow patterns? Voodoo-Tiki on DeviantArt has some good plushie patterns.
  13. Hi there, welcome to MLPForums! Can you tell us more about yourself?
  14. Hi there, welcome to the site! If you're looking for Bronies, you came to the right place!
  15. I know there is already at least one general Anime thread, but I didn't see one for people's very FIRST Anime. I remember when I finally turned eighteen and could watch whatever I wanted. I knew a few of my friends were into Anime, but I hadn't been able to watch any before of my parents. Then I saw a DVD of Wolf's Rain at my friend's house, and asked about it. It sounded interesting enough, so I decided to borrow it. However, there were only the first 5 or so episodes included, since she only had the first disc. But I was hooked, and thankfully at that time YouTube had all the episodes up, so I got to finish it there. So I could count that as my first Anime, since it's the first one that I sat down and enjoyed and also finished. However, I recently remembered a video I had watched as a kid. Oddly, it was after watching the Nostalgia Critic's review of Felix the Cat - The Movie, because I remember when my family and I moved from Idaho we gave away some stuff and that movie was one of the, along with some other cartoon that had 'Gigi' in the title. Thanks go Google, I found the Wikipedia page for Magical Princess Minky Momo, who had a similar look to what I remember Gigi did if I was remember right. Upon a further search, I found an image of the cover, and thus, the full title: And then it kind of hit me: Holy cow THAT was my first Anime. It was an animation that came from Japan that I watched as a child. This thing was like pre-Sailor Moon. So... I dunno it kind of makes me happy a little bit because I did watch an early Anime even though I couldn't watch Sailor Moon or Pokémon (or even Cowboy Bebop). My first Anime is from the 90's, not 2004! Magical Princess Gigi is also available on YouTube to watch in either English or Japanese version doesn't have subtitles. But some parts were cut from the English version, and other things moved around and if you watch it now, you realize some things don't make sense, and that's because it's the edited version. Anyway, share your first Anime you ever watched!
  16. All the Animes I listed are quite excellent! You've seen FullMetal Alchemist Brotherhood, right? I think it's better than the original.
  17. I've seen Wolf's Rain, Fullmetal Alchemist, FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Kiddy Grade, and Soul Eater. Not sure what else I may have watched all the way through.
  18. I'm going with what I've been saying since Cadance showed up. Cadance has had far more airtime and episodes dedicated to her in the past season than Luna has had in the entire two seasons she existed. Do you know why? Because Cadance is a pretty pink princess, and Luna is dark coated, weird, and not very girly. Cadance has this perfect fairy tail life in which she marries her one true love and has an awesome happy life. And all little girls want to play with are pretty pink princesses. Thus, the toy that Hasbro wants to sell shall be the character to show up more frequently. Luna has been all but shunned since her first appearance. She's gotten no more than one major episode per season (and one of those was as Nightmare Moon), Cadance has already had four (and that was before Sleepless in Ponyville), five if you count Games Ponies Play. So basically, I'm going with that the writers don't care about her as much because she's not pink or girly.
  19. I was moreso thinking that perhaps Chrysalis was just working with Luna. After all, we never see her during the battle, and for some reason she came back through the shield to guard the night when we saw her in the episode. What was she doing outside the protective Canterlot shield? Giving the Changelings orders on the outside, that's what.
  20. Chapter 1 I had been in this form for a long time... so long, I almost forgot what I actually looked like. My name is Blackberry Bramble... or Shadow, if you want to go by my old name. I have to tell you a story... It's my story. I was sent by Queen Chrysalis to spy on the ponies of Canterlot. She said it would be easy—I believed her. And it was, at first. We'd pose as somepony's lover, arrange meetings, and then feed off their love for a little while. We had to do this frequently, in order to constantly feed and avoid suspicion. So there was a lot of changing going on. Eventually, Chrysalis developed a more permanent solution. I stalked somepony for awhile, learned their mannerisms... then ambushed them sucked out their life force when the opportunity presented itself. There were a few of us assigned to this task. Chrysalis always took care of the bodies. Then, we'd each pose as the pony we'd gotten rid of, stealing their life—and their love. Some of them even had kids... which just provided more ponies to feed on. So we continued on, feeding off the ponies of Canterlot while Chrysalis hatched her plan. I was her second in command, her most trusted Changeling. Funny how I'm the one that let her down the most. We were all just supposed to follow orders. Mimic the lover for a time while feeding off the love from their family. We were all fine with it. We all trusted Chrysalis. We were loyal followers... it was just orders. But still... I felt incomplete. I was working for the good of the swarm, for the future of our race. I had somepony who loved me, I had 'friends', I had... everything I should have wanted. I should have been happy. Right? Ever since I was born, I had followed orders. That was just the way life was. Always pushing forward for the betterment of all Changelings. I didn't mind following orders, always being told and knowing what to do. That is, until I found out there was more to life. I could make decisions here. Chrysalis wasn't always around to tell me right from wrong, what to do and what not to do, and how to go about things. For once, I had control over my own life. At first, that frightened me. I had discovered individuality. I wasn't just some mindless creature that Chrysalis had made me to believe. I had a personality, my own likes and dislikes. And most of all... I had feelings. We weren't supposed to fall in love. That was never the plan. Just pretend, that was all. Deceive. I felt guilty. I felt guilty for deceiving him. I felt guilty for making him love me. I felt guilty for loving him. If I revealed my true self, it would be a betrayal to my entire family. But if I didn't, I would have to leave him in the dark, wondering where his special somepony went and what he did wrong. I guess I had never felt love before. It was just an emotion that we Changelings had to feed on. A life force provided by a lesser species. But maybe Changelings just fed on ponies... because they were jealous. After all, we shapeshifted into them, stole their lives... and then slowly destroyed them in the name of our existence. Or maybe... that was just me. But he really did love me—even if it wasn't the real me. I felt special, giddy. There was a whole wave of overwhelming emotions that I didn't understand. Even though I was personally tough, he treated me gently, with respect and care. For the first time, I felt bad for taking somepony's place. Before, we'd just do a hit and run. Arrange a date, meet with them, pretend to be their love, feed, and then go on our way. But Chrysalis' plan involved a long term relationship. That was something I was not prepared for. My life became so entwined with hers that I nearly forgot who I was. The lie that I was living consumed me, just as I was slowing consuming him. I guess that's why I tricked myself into thinking that he could love the real me. He already loved me for everything on the inside. The outside shouldn't matter, right? I revealed myself to him one night, and explained as gently as I could that his former mate was gone. But the look of terror on his face was enough to say that he would never accept me for who I was. He screamed at me to get out, throwing any object within reach at me to hurry my pace. I walked the streets alone that night, in my normal—well, my pony form. When I returned the next day, he had offed himself. I ran away. I went to Chrysalis for comfort. She was our queen, and I had always been her second in command and most trusted Changeling. I didn't go to her because I had failed. I was—I was heartbroken. It's a thing that few Changelings ever experience. I'd heard of heartbreak before. It was something that happened to weak Changelings. They became too attached to their host. Once something happened to their “mate”, they generally went insane. I never thought it would happen to me. I had let myself be blind to the truth. We disguised ourselves because nopony could love us in our natural form. I had thought my case was different... as others had in the past. It was a flaw in our design. Some of us were just destined to fall for the one who loved us—or rather, who we tricked ourselves into believing we were. But, just as I had, Chrysalis saw my actions as weak. I was damaged, flawed... she could no longer trust me. However, she was not without mercy. I was simply placed into the rank of pawn, one of the hundreds of Changelings who were ready to be her army and do her bidding. I ran away. I journeyed back to Canterlot, unsure of where to go or who to turn to. I had no home, no job, no friends. The life I had had before was all a ruse, and if I showed my face—her face—again, I would have a lot of explaining to do. It wasn't worth it to go back to my old life. There was nothing. I had nothing. I was nothing. I went back to my old ways, feeding here and there at random. I longed to have a relationship like before. To have somepony, just one pony, love me all the time—for who I was. I tried unsuccessfully to convince myself that he had never loved me for me. It had always been her. But still... I wanted what I had when I was her—but as me. I wanted to love and be loved, without doing so just to feed. Eventually, Chrysalis carried out her plan and overtook Canterlot. I was worried for myself when the initial shield went up, but I had already been in hiding for weeks. When the rest of the swarm finally attacked, I hid. I didn't know how long I could keep it up. I supposed that I would have to integrate back into the swarm, pretending to be one of the mindless. But I was afraid of her finding me. I had run away, and I knew that Chrysalis knew. She was just too busy with her current plan to pay mind to my whereabouts. If she found me... I would likely be destroyed as a traitor. I no longer worked for the good of the swarm, but for the good of myself. We were always supposed to work together, for the good of our species. But I was different. I had become an individual, one not part of the master plan. I was a liability. However, all too soon they were defeated, and banished from Equestria. Though I had still been in my shifted form, I was blown away with them. Chrysalis found me among the ranks, and I barely escaped with my life. Weakened and unable to change form, I journeyed back to nearby Equestria. I hoped against hope that I could find somepony to feed on, to get my strength back and heal myself. I tried pretending to be ordinary. I tried being fierce. The result from my sight was the same: screaming and running. Though I had no ill intentions, all I could do was cause chaos. I was near death when they showed up.
  21. Hey, what a cutie! And you haven't even drawn a lot of ponies before? She looks pretty good! Would you ever take any requests of OCs so you could practice more?
  22. Hello there, and welcome! I see you are a Luna fan, nice! She's the best princess.
