  1. Wow, I feel so out of the loop right now. I haven't watched the new episodes probably in at least 3 months, and it sounds like all Hell has broken loose in Equestria while I've been preoccupied with personal matters and the normal barrage of thoughts. I feel like a terrible brony right now. And also delicate femboys who love pretty and happy things. Don't forget about us! (referring to part in parentheses) I used to revile guro enthusiasts and the like, but subsequent observations indicated my blanket animosity was erroneous. Also, the dark and gory MLP stuff probably is made by actual bronies rather than by enemies from without. That being said. I know not why that stuff gratifies some people. This world is dysfunctional and maddening enough as it is, and I don't understand why people feel compelled to fashion or indulge in worse fictional varieties. All I know is I have serious anxiety vulnerabilities and I much prefer happy and pleasant and hopeful things.
  2. Wow, I'm surprised no one confessed to something truly awful. Anyway, I have nothing to confess because I'm perfect, and screw all of you inferior mortals! *bursts into diabolical laughter*
  3. Based on what others have said about the site, it sounds exactly like the furry equivalent. FurryMate is rather notorious for the exact same things. Maybe this should be brought to the admins' attention, though I have no idea whether they will care. I'm rather surprised there isn't a good brony dating site, though. I think there are fewer furries but we have multiple legitimate dating sites. My best hopes for romance might be the femboy groups, honestly, so that's where I will place the most effort eventually.
  4. For a lack of a better way of phrasing this, I don't take the storyline and various elements very seriously, as they're not supposed to be very realistic or reflective of RL personalities. Pinkie Pie's personality is the most inexplicable and hyperactive out of all of them for comedic effect, but she's always innocuous. I suppose another way of viewing this is, that behavior is not disordered in a magical and foreign place such as Equestria and thus our definitions of illness sometimes don't apply. Also, I doubt schizophrenia would be applicable regardless. She's not paranoid or prone to delusions or hallucinations (barring that one episode, which, again, was done for humor). She's just constantly manic yet harmless. She wasn't intentionally designed to be actually mentally ill.
  5. Think I'll hold off on making a decision about certain recent unpleasantness until after AWA. I'm faitigued from recently victories and have an anime con, and I would risk being outflanked if I exposed myself now. Also, if you'll be at AWA, I'll be the resplendently crossdressing 'coonboi!

      A recent incident has called into question the objectivity and ethics of the administration here. I plan to write a blog entry and don't see it violating forum rules, but people seem to routinely fall below even my modest expectations of them. Now is a bad time for more adventures or risks of such.

      And, ahh, really? I was a staff for them last year, but they seem prone to dysfunction and infighting, so I dispensed with that this time. I'm sure I'll have much to enjoy on those...

      Damn thing cut me off despite my efforts. I meant to say, on those two days I'll be there, 25-26 Sept.

      Pretty sure it's the same story on any forum, at least in all the forums I've been on anyway. I'm not saying it's ok, it's just not surprising. For AWA, I know there are problems with the staff, but I do a lot of cons, and my focus is to show up and work (or at the least learn something).

  6. 200 for a custom plushie isn't that much, honestly. It is akin to many other businesses: they charge for both parts and labor to make their efforts worthwhile. My 85 cm raccoon tail cost something like 75 and would cost about that much to replace, and that's far simpler for multiple reasons than a plushie. The space costs, while I never envisioned that for other people, I sympathize with. To make my bedroom very space-efficient and assist with food economy, I had to acquire multiple shelves that are large and can withstand large weight, plus a clothing rack. All that was about 150 or so.
  7. Whoever invented granola deserves a medal, no matter the sort of person he/she was. This material is just too pawesome. I'm eating granola raisin cereal, and it's both tastier and requires far less soy milk to eat properly.

      Damn it, now I have to declare war. I was hoping to eat more granola cereal instead. I guess I could do both.

      I'm actually allergic to peanut butter, and have a natural aversion to its smell and taste.

  8. I am on the offensive on two fronts right now. I might reach ultimate objectives for Sept. on the Literary Front in a week, while others may cause a stinging defeat on the Social. People are such irrational creatures...

      We better get our umbrellas, a storm is brewing x3

      I'll end up seizing the figurative heights on the Literary Front today. The Social Front didn't end as badly or violently as I predicted and there was one unexpected boon, but the initial endeavor was a failure.

       

      Speaking of storms, if Discord causes another one I hope it's chocolate or vanilla soy milk.

  9. My social and political ideology seems to bring out the worst in staff members despite never having wronged them or their friends. First the local furry con, now a forum admin. How unfortunate. At least I've done very well in general lately.

      Mhm, It's not really indicative of good leadership if you can't tolerate someone's views(and are biased towards them)... kinda piggybacks onto onto the US's Civil Rights act... I guess.

      I am a pensive strategist with anxiety issues. I am inexorably stressed over small things, and one way I cope is being selective in what incidents I risk. It has to be important or I feel like a moron afterwards. However, as you say, I do other things either to distract or to allow time for deliberation. This is why I was away for so long, and also to carry out literary plans.

      I was just upset with the hostile and unenlightening response I got at first, Sudo. Frankly, I wouldn't have minded if I was told I was hated by the person if they also just given me a suitable explanation. I would have actually admired the person for being a stellar jurist. Anyway, it's being worked out and it's not of critical importance. I also acquired some games.

  10. Then I should be elected dictator peacefully! *bursts into immature and maniacal laughter*
  11. Wow, we have some mature colts and fillies here. I desperately wish most of the adults I deal with were that mature. We have quite a lot of collective potential and talent in the forums, apparently. Also, when will applications be taken for Supreme Overlord? I'm more into domination and conquest and feel I would be a great fit for that role. I promise to ban no more than 33% of the userbase for disobedience if I'm chosen/seize power.
  12. I always use the males' bathroom. Usually people can tell I'm a male if they see me from the front and I identify as a boy, anyway. I'm sure a few have been uncomfortable as they saw me walk in or put on makeup there, but, screw them. The only one who has said anything was very polite and actually thought I was a female until I spoke, and then wanted my picture.
  13. Two things I have learned this week. 1.) I will still get sucked into political debates here. 2.) Arguing with a religious apologist is like most WW1 battles: no one wins and everyone involved loses.

      The Debate Pit is alright in moderation and with appropriate expectations. It seems, though, that a lot of people merely wish to express their indignation without actually meaningfully refuting a statement, and it's important to ignore those types quickly. Overall, I am fatigued from this and the progress I made in my life in the last 9 days, and am about to shower and then probably game or buy girl's clothes.

      I prefer to see debates as an exchange of ideas and understand how other people think, instead of seeking to convince. When people get capable of articulating their ideas, this is when they have actually understood what their own ideas, and this also is an exercise of learning. I do not think it was a loss.

       

      By the way, I enjoyed debating with you! I hope we can talk about some less controversial topic any of these days :)

       

      I wish the best for you!

  14. Wow, it's extremely busy here this afternoon. Is the Welcoming Plaza always so active? Anyway, welcome to the forums! I think they decided to essentially assign the second half of Season 5 to Season 6, so all of Season 5 might be out now. I haven't been able to keep up with new episodes for the last month of so, so I don't know what's happened recently. Pinkie Pie is rather amusingly crazy. She's the one I'm least similar to, especially IRL. I just can't do unmitigated extroversion and joy.
  15. Wow, these introductory posts are being pounced on pretty good. Anyway, welcome to the forums! Don't worry, I'm probably more eccentric than you are, and no one's demanded my expulsion. Applejack's awesome. I like honesty a great deal. Some say I'm much too honest, in fact. *bursts into effeminate maniacal laughter*
  16. Welcome to the forums! I've never played MineCraft, though my ex-mate when we were together used to play it a lot. I tend towards military strategy games and games like EVE Online. Also, Fluttershy is quite adorable, though I'm generally the exact opposite of her except for being more fond of animals than of people.
  17. I'm the leader. My next decree is... all of you will do a ponified reenactment of the Battle of Gettysburg. Either that or bring me food. I hate leaving the house and I'm lazy.
  18. You MIGHT be able to find a few ponies here... And, Applejack is great. Honesty is one of my supreme overarching virtues, violated in only extenuating circumstances.
  19. I don't know what this person is renowned for and why I should value his opinion, but, I listened to about 8 mins of it. His complaint is bronies are making too much content. That's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. Everyone is going to have results come from searches which aren't to their liking. This guy's carrying on as if bronies are deliberately taking over sites or sabotaging search results.
  20. I think I need to scale back my political thread involvement and/or allocate more time to the Welcoming Plaza. I feel out of balance in this realm and feel that is the cause.

      More or less, disregarding the new housemate's infuriating behavior today. I just made that status because I have noticed not only am I losing unexpectedly high levels of energy and time arguing in Debate Pit threads, but I feel rather useless to the forum by doing little more than that. I welcomed 3 or 4 this evening, so some balance was restored.

      Just do what makes you happy.

  21. Welcome to the forums! I must say, you speak textually very well for a 13-year-old. Even many adults can't be bothered to speak properly. You seem very intelligent and will likely do well in life! I haven't gotten into the roleplay aspect of bronydom, though you will definitely find that here, in addition to artwork and artists. The show is currently in the middle of Season 5, so you'll spend a fair amount of time going through all the episodes. I tend to watch them if I'm too tired/unwilling to work on objectives or strategy gaming, or if I'm acutely distressed and need a distraction I don't need to exert myself to engage in. You generally can't go wrong with the show if all else fails. I wouldn't say Discord is my favorite character overall, but he's certainly delightfully arrogant and cantankerous. I very much liked Q for his extreme bluntness and disregard for humanity's folly, and Discord is quite similar (they're both played by the same actor, in case you have no idea what I'm talking about). The episodes he's in are amongst my favorite generally.
  22. I was a cub when the original MLP came out. Somehow I never managed to watch the show or become utterly fixated on it despite loving all things anthropomorphic. Anyway, welcome to the forums! While there is much darkness and dysfunction in the world, it is possible to circumvent and shield oneself from the majority of it. You need to have a good inner circle, properly strategize, and act in your own interests to accomplish that. When someone behaves obnoxiously or insults bronydom, view it as an opportunity to avoid the person before you become entangled with them, rather than merely a terrible development.
  23. Hello there! There is actually a sizable number of Christian bronies here, and there's a thread for them somewhere in Sugarcube Corner IIRC. I'm sorry to hear your parents think it's the work of the Devil. The show itself actually espouses a few ideals that Christianity does (at least, the mainstream varieties), so I don't know why some people think it's so terrible and dangerous. Also, Pinkie Pie's probably the pony I'm least similar to, as I'm not at all exuberant or unyieldingly extroverted. She's rather amusing, though, especially when she ate the pastry Celestia was going to eat during that episode with the phoenix.
