The bond between two bronies is stronger than the bond of a brony and a non-brony chick because, on average, bronies are 20% cooler than chicks. That's just Science.
REAL-LIFE EXAMPLES:
The other day, when I was going to go hang with this smokin' hot chick down at the sports arcade, I got a call from my brony friend about a meetup. To make a long story short, bye bye babe, hello ponies!
A brony is always entitled to do something stupid as long as the rest of his bronies are doing it.
For example..... If Twilight had went to fight Nightmare Moon by herself, ponies would have been like, "Filly, come on." If Flim had come to town alone and tried to show off the FlimFlam Brothers Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000, ponies would have beeen like, "Colt, come on." If I had gone down that hallway by myself singing "Smile Smile Smile" out loud, people would have been like, "Dude, come on!!" The liscense to be stupid is why we have bronies in the first place.
If a Brony gets a dog, it must be as talented as Winona when full-grown.
COROLLARY: Naming your dog after winona and having a dog such as a Basset Hound or a Chihuahua, in other words, dogs that just enjoy down time with you, does not absolve a Brony from the spirit of this article.
A Brony never divulges the existence of the Brony Code to either a non-brony or a Pegasister. It is a sacred document not to be shared with them for any reason... No, not even that reason.
NOTE: If you are a Pegasister or a non-brony reading this, first, let me apologize: it was never my intention for this blog to contain so much "yay!"
Second, I urge you to look at this document for what it is - a piece of fiction meant to entertain all groups, be they Bronies, Pegasisters, or non-bronies, through the prism of stereotypical gender and fandom differences. I mean, sometimes it really is like we're all from completelt different planets! Clearly, no real person would actually believe or adhere to the vulgar rules contained within.* That shirt is epic, b-t-dub.
* Psst - hey, guys! I put this really small type at the bottom since we all know Bronies have better vision than all other groups, especially from our endeavors at finding Derpy. Ignore the above - the Brony Code is definitely NOT a piece of fiction. I was simply lying to uphold this very article.
Ok, so I work at this little, dinky fuel station, about the size of a small bedroom, if even that big. It gets boring as hell there, y'know? So guess what I do for fun! I PLUG IN MY IPOD TO THE RADIO AND PLAY BRONY MUSIC! Although it bugs my co-workers, I still play it, and most of the customers are interested in what's playing!
As of now, chapter 4 has been written, and chapter 5 is going to be started soon. I should also have the third and final part of chapter 1 typed up soon, too. Be expecting it in the near future!
Ok, so, lately, I've been playing a LOT of FF music on the radio at work. Two of the most recent nights that I have worked, this one lady comes in and talks to me about it. The first time, she said a song from FFVII: AC sounded familiar, and we started talking FF. The second time, she comes in and says "Hey, it's the Final Fantasy guy!" She asks me about my music, and I tell her it's mostly FF and dubstep. She then asked, for some reason, if I was a Redditer, a 4chaner, or a Digger, and I just looked at her and said "None of the above, actually, I'm an MLPForumer." She just said "Huh." and went to pump her gas. T'was epic. To me, at least.
Finally, after weeks of prepertion and editing and shrinking down and blah, blah, blah...
MY GUIDE HAS BEEN PRINTED OUT!!!
Ok, so it's not MY guide, per se... I just got all of the information I could off of tulpa.info and edited it into a nice little document, put a cover page and a few pages of tables of contents, and printed it out. Took 54 pages... but hey, now I can start my tulpa! I just wanted to get all of the info on paper so I could read it without a computer in my face. I plan on starting my tulpa tonight, if I can find the time. Wish me luck! Also, for those of you who want to see pics of my guide that I printed out, I'll try and post pics.
I am so bucking tired of having to drive almost an hour just to get to class! Why can't my college just do some telecasting or some stuff to make it easier on those of us who have to commute all the freaking way across town!? I just don't understand why the don't do this one simple thing, I know there are pleanty of other students who live nearby me who would agree.
Ok, so I guess I'll begin... don't know where, but I will...
Not that long ago, I found out what a Tulps was. I mean, way before that, I heard of the word, but had no idea what it meant. After I found out that there are, I guess, these... thought beings, if you will... that you could create within your mind so that you could have a companion and what not, and they would be sentient, I thought that it might be interesting to try and make one of my own. I know there are plenty of others who have done this and succeeded (@Chigens and Kay, I'm lookin at YOU), and a few others besides me that have gotten interested as of late, and I really have decided to try and put some effort into this so that I can have at least SOMEone to talk to when I'm alone at home (which is usually all the time, because I never spend time with my family because we have no similar interests, and I only have one friend who I really ever get to hang out with).
So, I've been studying and reading up on Tulpa. Seems that, with some effort, I can create one, but it'll take some time. Also, I'm trying to print off all of the guides that I can find so that I can have all the information that I can get without having to go to a computer, so that will hinder my time a bit, too. That's why I've created this blog, to let everyone who is interested see my progress.
And , I guess I might as well show you who I plan on trying to make, even though she may change drastically as I make her:
Eeyup, I want to make Octavia to begin with. I also wanted to make Vinyl Scratch, but someone told me that two Tulpa at the same time was not good, so I'll just stick with Tavi for now.
Well, hope you all stay tuned, I'll keep ya updated as often as possible.
I really hope I never hear the word "POWERBALL TICKET" again... It was so totally insane at my job at the fuel station last night with all of those people coming in and buying all of those tickets, I never got a chance to clean or anything! I never thought it would END!!!! But, then again, I DID end up buying some tickets myself... Didn't win anything, ut bought some all the same...
So, has anyone seen the new vinyl figurines that they've got at WeLoveFine yet?
These things?
I didn't know that they had these things until I stumbled upon a post about them on the My Little Brony Geekbase page. They look freaking epic.
And they're both limited edition AND you have to do something on the website before you can even add them to your cart!!!
First, you gotta add any one piece of pony merch into your cart on the site. That'll open up the "Scratch Vinyl" acheivment.
Next, you gotta go to your cart and add one of them for $20.
Third is optional. If you want the other one, you gotta add ANOTHER item of ponyness to your cart to unlock the "Muffins" acheivment so you can get the other one.
I was lucky enough to be able to add Vinyl's vinyl to my order when my buddy ordered my Christmas gift for me.
So, I was wondering, anyone else gonna try to get these? They keep going out of stock, so you might wanna hurry if you want em.
Ok, so, for those of you who know my original 'My Lil' Vinyl', I'm rewriting it.
For those of you who don't know, lemme give a little background.
I was originally working on it about 5-6 months ago, and had finished a few chapters. I posted it to FimFiction, and all hell broke loose. So many hate comments posted in that I couldn't cope. Some of them had a point, like holes in the plot of the story, but most of them were mean, rude, and hateful. I decided at that time to give up on finishing the story.
However, a week ago, I, for some odd and unexplainable reason, had the urge to continue. No, not continue, rewrite and make the whole thing better. I plan on finishing it this time. And I plan on using this blog to tell everyone how things are going with the story and to post the chapters before they're added to FimFiction. So, stay tuned for some interesting stuff.
Ok, so, as a few of you know, I have completed re-writing chapter 1 and am in the process of typing it up. I have also just completed re-writing the whole of chapter 2 of the story and have started chapter 3's re-writing.
But now the complications will arise.
See, when I first started writing this, I had only written 3 chapters, then I quit. Why? People on Fimfiction, that's why. They were the most callous, ungrateful bunch of people ever. They made me think my story was so bad that I should never finish it, so I gave up and quit for a while.
But, as I have said before, I have come back to it, and I shall finish this time. I have gotten through some chapters, and all of them have been easy, but that's just because they were already written. The challenges will be the chapters to come, which I have little reference for. We shall see how those turn out.
I will post the first chapter of the re-written work as I finish typing it, so be expecting it soon!
Also, for those of you who want to see the original 3 chapters, here is a link:
AND: It seems my old Fimfiction account does not want me to access it, so I shall have to make a new one to go ahead and post the new version of the story. I shall post the new account on here, too.
Ok, so, usually, I'm on in the mornings over here, on a computer in my statistics class, being a bawss. It was no different on Valentine's Day. But then, the unthinkable happenned. I was in class, when suddenly...
ENTIRE LOCKDOWN OF THE BUILDING HAPPENNED!!!!!! I was stuck in a dark room, with 20 or so people I didn't know, not able to use the computer, and it was like that for FOUR HOURS!!! It sucked! It was both the worst and most interesting Valentines Day of my life ever.
The reason we were in total lockdown was because some dumb idiot decided to rob a barn building place not to far away from my college and then hide in the woods RIGHT NEXT TO THE COLLEGE!!! I was so pissed that that was all it was, we students could have hurried out to our cars and driven home quickly, but NOOOOOOOOOO, we had to sit there forever! And the guy didn't even have a gun or anything!
