Thorn O Discord

I've developed a theory.

Compared to the work horses used for centuries, ponies were cute. As a person with a young sister, she's the cutest thing I can imagine, so bridging the gap is not hard. After one person makes the connection, someone finds a way to use it to make money, it gets popular, and before you know it, you've made your very own stereotype. 

Is it really impossible to be both 'loco' and normal? He might be the biggst fan DBZ fan ever, and still be normal. This is clearly comedic, but not very funny.

I think it's impossible to say for sure either way, because we can't leave reality in general. 

Well, if it's an old old computer, it could be on it's last legs, otherwise, you could have bigger problems. Lucky for you, there are several things to do before you have to take drastic measures. 

(Check it's power cable by the way, those can be lose sometimes)

Firstly, download Maleware bytes, ( https://www.malwarebytes.org/), and run a quick scan. If it finds something like a virus, then it'll get it taken care of. Otherwise, I'd suggest a Full Scan, assuming it won't terminate partway through. (Full scans take a while). If nothing is found, and you still have problems, it's time for drastic measures. (Cue scary music)

You can take everything you like off of the computer, and wipe the drive, restoring it to a factory like setting. (Do be gentle about doing it though, computers are people too). 

If all this is done, but it still reboots randomly, you've simply got a bad PC. It happens. Hope this helps!

Personbality wise....ehh, maybe.

Questions:

What gender do you identify as?

I am male. 

When and how did you find out about MLP?

Must have been...four or five years ago when it was still...new.

Why do you like the show?

- It's a nice break away from my life, expectations, stress. 

- It didn't always do this, but it make references to so many things like Blazing Saddles, Alcoholic recipes, Video Games, it's neat to        .just rewatch it and look for them.

-It's kinda cheesy to say it has a good message, but it does encourage being friendly to others and value the people near to your heart

Do you think MLP is a high quality show? Why or why not?

-I think on some level, it is. It was initially built for...well, little girls, (and their mothers, actually), but when guys picked it up, they had to  do a 180 and please a more diverse crowd than anyone expected, which they've both failed and succeeded at, as to e expected. 

What about the show (how its written, characters. etc.) do you think makes it appealing to both children and adults?

-I think that the clarity of the personalities, if one can get past the medium, somehow resonates with people. They see something in them that they wish they could just strive towards. 

-I personally enjoy the style of animation, the humor and the carefree attitude that revolves around the show, it's nice.

Do you think the show provides valuable morals and if so why (give some examples from the show)? And what demographic do those morals apply to?

-I can't personally say the show has taught me any lessons, but hanging around the fandom has been enlightening in unexpected ways. Though I do see a lot of females, mostly, telling people it has a good message, not really sure why. 

What do you think is MLP's target audience?

- Initially, it was for little girls and their adult mothers, but the writers had to target both genders to some degree, with age being irrelevant. 

Which character do you most identify with and why?

- I have similarities with a number of the charecters, but i prefer to not identify with any of them, they aren't real after all.

Princess Twilight Sparkle: We share the same personality type, (ISTJ), and a joy for learning. 

Fluttershy: I have my issues with being social, and assertive at times. 

Applejack: I have country roots, and proud of it. 

Rarity: I'm quite the perfectionist at times.

Why do you think the creators decided to make the majority of the main characters adults, and do you think this is a good thing for a children's show?

-I have never considered what age the charecters were, but I don't think that it matters all the much to the audience in general.

What is a "Brony" (In your opinion)?

A fna of MLP that lies outside of what people would consider to be the correct audience.

What is a stereotypical "Brony"?

I've been...'informed' that we are all...'Basement lurking, fedora wearing neckbeard (fags) with pedophiliac and zoolfiliac (tendencies) that have been planted in us by Satan to sway us (from what men should really be)'. (That is a quote by the way, cleaned up for you)

Would you identify as a "Brony"? Why or why not? (If "yes" then continue on to the numbered questions, if "no" skip the numbered questions)

I will probably never dall my self a Brony, (I dislike labels), but I'm a pretty big fan of MLP. (In reality, I could probably play either side of the whole brony v.s. fan thing). It's helped me get through some stuff, and let me tell you: I have no clue why I'm drawn to it, I never expected to be, and I can't drop it for some reason. 

Questions for Bronies in specific

1. What makes you a "Brony"?    Enjoying the show, despite 'my demographic'
   
2. When did you first identify as a "Brony"?     After I learned I wasn't the only male fan, and it was okay to like the show.
   
3. Why did you decide to join this particular cummunity?     I have something in common with them, and it's a unique community.
   
4. Why do you identify as a "Brony" as opposed to just a normal MLP fan? I've invested more energy into MLP than the norm fan, 
   
5. Has your experience in the community overall been positive or negative? It's been positive, mostly.
   
6. Have you received any judgement, harassment, or ridicule for being a "Brony"? If so, what happened? Yes, I certainly have gotten my (un)fair share of flak, from close minded people around my school. Names, mostly. Nothing I like to dwell on.
   
7. How does MLP relate to you on a personal level? I've used the idea of ponies for my own theraputic...services in the past. I am writing a book, and what appens to the main charecter, symbolizes what I go through, I try to search for ways out of my turmoil. 
   
8. Has the Brony community helped you in any way? Well, it's helped a bit with my loneliness, given me a place to connect with people and things of that sort, but nothing life changing.
   
9. Has any part of the Brony community done anything you thought was wrong? Of course. Alicorn OC's, (*shudders*), Equastria Girls, (*Shudders even more*), random shippings, porn, bad fan fics, cosplay, (*shudders uncontrollably*), but not much I can do besides remaining aloof at times.
   
10. Do you have ANY interesting or emotional stories you wish to share on the topic? Hmm...telling people you're a brony certainly can be a fun thing to just drop on people. (Then again, telling the people you love is never easy.)
    

​

I hope my answers offer a glimpse into our strange, strange little community, and I greatly appreciate the chance to investigate my own feeling on such matters. I hope the best for your documentary, feel free to share it with this site if your up to it. (I apologize for the dictation of the second set of questions, it go rather hard to control.) Thanks again!

Reference is to DOTA 2 I belive....(M-m-m-m-monster KILL!), right?

But back to your question. A fanfic like that would be....difficult to make work. You could try, you should try, but I can't say whether or not it'll work. 

I have ADhD, (notice it's a little h), and it's sort of like a super power I guess. I can focus to 100 things at once, 1 thing really frickin' well, but anything in between just loses me. To compensate staying focused, I am teaching myself to read people, so I can focus on several things while listening to a conversation, and function properly. 

I despise medication, so I forgo it entirely, electing to overcome this disorder on my own strength. With mixed results.

An interesting side effect of my ADhD, I only need 5 or six hours of sleep, and only dream when I sleep more than that. It trashes my memory at times, but it gives me more hours of the day to work with, kinda bittersweet. 

Counselors can be friends, but not as good of friends as someone your own age, I find.

I have Aquaphobia, the fear of water technicaly, but I can't stand swimming on any level. It has something to do with the fact that I could move every limb of my body, continue sinking and stop breathing altogether. Just awful to think about really.

I can't possibly figure out why a thread like this exists,  or what could possibly be gained by telling strangers on the internet your relationship status. (Besides comfort perhaps?) In other news, I am single and would like to stay that way for a long time.

It advertises my (lackluster) talent for art, and that my mental condition is not what it used to be.

It appears I'm the only one thought that... that is if what I'm thinking is what you're thinking.

I think you are in fact, thinking of what I am thinking. I think.

Anyway...I jest in good humor random requester, and do not wish to offend. 

I hope that your picture has a tail coming off it's rear, because the alternative is not pleasant, in the least.

The world needs great writers and classical authors, but as far as I can tell, it needs people who write fanfics much more. My advise, draw from your own life as much as you can; Blend your family members to create new people, go nuts with setting, push your plot to it's stretching point, and have fun in anyway you can. If you have fun and enjoy yourself and what you made, it won't matter if it's any good or bad, because in the end, happiness has a longer shelf life than popularity or money.

I got started by using writing to avoid getting therapy,  (long story). I improved immensly by exploiting my natural need to express myself perfectly, and studying writers from all times, places, colors and creeds. 

In hindsight, this whole post might not mean anything to you, but to summarize:

Write your stories, study famous writers, draw from your own life, tell haters to take a long walk off a short bridge, write, write, and write some more. Oh, and have fun!

No, but I have high respect for nearly all members of such group.

Oddly enough, they are one in the same, anonymity makes me feel a thousand times better, but I was raised better than to change like a quantum event. (They change whether or not they are observed)

I think this question is entirely irrelevant under these circumstances; Few people are shallow enough to admit they prefer looks over personality, but people are what they are, which is why beauty is so highly sought after and has been for thousands of years. That said, I've never been driven after other people like that, so couldn't say either way.

I want to understand and be able to predict the way people think and act, become comepletely bilingual, learn to pick my locks, make eagle, and get in shape.

I briefly considered goombas, only to realize they lack arms....I would like to see all of Bowser's children become playable, somehow.

No charecters from the show? Hell yeah, it takes way more skill to be completely original like that. (More skill than I have at times) 

I have no words, for either picture, beyond "Perfect in all the wrong ways."

It hurts, and it takes work to keep under control, but one of my maxims is to always throw a wrench in my enemies plans. If someone wants to make me feel bad, I'll laugh in their faces. if they want to feel good, I'll just brush it off. The look of confusion on the face of someone who has no better way to get over their problems by hurting others is just priceless. 

I run best with 5 hours of sleep.

-Upside: 19 hours of waking time, I can go hours without making noise

-Downside: I have to sleep certain ways to actually dream, napping is hell, I get lonely

ADhD (Notice the lower-case h)

-Upside: I have constant energy, abundant creativity, and the ability to hyper-focus

-Downside: I have no impulse control at all, My personlity clashes with my brain, and I need therapy and medication to be normal.

I have two dads. (And two moms)

Upside: two setts of every holiday, enourmously huge families, two homes, a fantasitic vantage point on the different perspectives of people

Downside: Trapped in a no win situation, House's can get a bit clashy, Big families.

I enjoy My Little Pony (Strange in other places, not here)

Upside: I have a community that is more or less great

Downside: Morons who act like morons moronically for moronic reasons. (Like morons)

I own way too much technology, I aspire to be a hacker, I don't know how to be or make friends, I prefer old PS2 games (and play PS2), I collect interesting hats (45 and counting), love hawaiin (can't spell that) shirts, learn and research for fun, and might never stop regreting my past.

All in all, I'm unique, just like everyone else on this funny old world.

I could draw something for ya, mind if we PM'd a bit?
