  1. Hello everypony!!

    Dear CELESTIA it has been so long since I've drawn pony. So here is pony!

      Good to see you again, my friend! Even if you're a little rusty, it's still a really good drawing! :kirin:

  2. Testing, testing...

    Hello everypony! Man, it's been a while, hasn't it? I haven't been able to get onto the Forums on my laptop (403 forbidden error?) for a WHILE now and I guess I got so irritated I fell off of posting for...oh my god almost two years:sealed:

    I promise I am still alive if anyone was, I don't know, worried I died in some horrific pony related accident...

      YAY! Welcome back, my good friend! It's good to see you again. :laugh:

  3. HELLO EVERYPONY!! VERY EXCITED TOASTY HERE!!!

    I watched the G5 movie yesterday, and...wow. I won't explicitly mention spoilers, but I'm pretty bad at not talking about stuff I'm excited about, so...tread carefully if you haven't watched the movie yet :ButtercupLaugh:

    I fully expected to only find it alright, but I was absolutely amazed by how much I enjoyed it from beginning to end; for the first time since the beginning of generation THREE, Pinkie finally has competition for the title of my favourite pone ever--I ABSOLUTELY adored Sunny, I saw a lot of myself in her and I was just completely drawn into everything she did! No spoilers, but the ending...change was absolutely beautiful and fully deserved, I personally don't mind her staying that way! I could easily make this entire review just a word vomit about how much I love and adore and want to protect Sunny, but I don't think any of you would want to read that :awwthanks:

    Little personal opinion here, but I feel Izzy is somewhat autism-coded (especially because of her eccentric hobbies and lack of...voice noise control?? It's hard to explain); I would have really appreciated a character that's so open about her interests that had friends that accept her being how she is as a child, and I really hope she can help younger pony fans learn to love themselves and find true friends. Between Sunny and Izzy, I was almost in actual tears over a children's horse film because my brain kept going "I wish I'd had characters who acted like this--like me!!--when I was younger". Again, this is just a little personal section, but as a kid who never really saw characters like me in media growing up (I was a G3 kid so I didn't have Twily back then, either) I am over the moon that kids like me can have characters to relate to.

    THE MUSIC! THE MUSIC!! I made a point of not listening to any of the songs pre-release and gosh was I happy I did; Angry Mob in particular is just so comfortable with the fact it's dumb that it's hilarious while also having an exceptional backing track--on that note, I love how Sprout was still a mommy's boy while also being a villain, loved that about his character! Glowin' Up is, of course, an absolute banger and I have religiously repeated it since I finished the movie yesterday; it has similar vibes to SIA's Rainbow from the G4 movie in terms of being the obvious song to market, but Glowin' Up just seemed to, I don't know...fit the pony vibe better than Rainbow did? Perhaps that's just a bit of a personal vendetta bias against SIA because of her actions in other aspects of her life, but this isn't really the place to discuss my issues with SIA or the G4 movie--back to how much the G5 music BANGS! I was admittedly, once again, a liiiiittle bit biased in how much I loved Izzy's songs because I adore Kimiko Glenn (her performance in Waitress is just incredible) but who can say no to Izzy?? It had a lot of Rapping History of the Wonderbolts vibes in the midsection of Fit Right In and my Pinkie loving heart absolutely exploded (twice! Sorry, I had to :ButtercupLaugh:), so of course it's up there as possibly my favourite song in the whole thing. 

    TL;DR, I am positively teeming with excitement for what the series is going to be like--this movie was an absolutely incredible setup and I can't wait to see more of what these ponies have to offer! Also, if Izzy ever met Pinkie, I think I would actually die. My poor heart couldn't take it.

    I'm going to start posting more often in the pony merch threads (that's basically my hometown here, so if you're ever looking for me I'm probably lurking around there!) and maybe even some reviews once I get my hands on some stuff, but I'm now a university student and working, so I don't have as much free time as I used to, which also explains the lack of posts from me in the last few months; I PROMISE I'll be more active in the coming weeks, though, because I'm absolutely obsessed with this movie!

    Special thanks to all of my kind pony friends who have tagged me in hug a user and favourite user posts while I've been semi-inactive, I promise I saw them all and I'm so happy to be appreciated on this here forum:wub:

    And with that...

    This is how a ToastedScone ends this post :D

      Glad you enjoyed the movie!

      Hello my friend. Glad you enjoyed the movie. :) And my apologies too. If you made any status updates mentioning G5, I avoided it like the plague. But I've seen it now, so I won't avoid updates anymore.

  4. Early G3 Pinkie Pie! I called her Birthday Girl and I loved her dearly
  5. The first merch that sticks out in my mind is my BAB Twily; my friend randomly messaged me seeing if I wanted to buy her secondhand so he could scrape up the cash for a new guitar. I walked all the way to his place in the pouring rain to pick her up!
  6. Whew, this thread is ancient...just wanted to say I have a Pinkie Pie version of that exact necklace!
  7. I've never had a strange reaction to my purchases, but that's mainly because I'm really short and have a baby face...it's me bringing out my card that makes them react! They genuinely think I'm a kid using pocket money to buy ponies, not a grown adult!
  8. Hiya! Good quality AND low price on a product is, as you mentioned, STUPIDLY hard to come by especially with pony stuff, but my biggest suggestion is checking discount stores for any leftover Guardians of Harmony toys if you're looking for semi-show accurate toys at a good price. In terms of unofficial stuff, if custom prices are too steep for your budget, OlyFactory does some pretty good knockoff plushies of a LOTTT of popular pones at good prices, though I'm not too sure of the general quality of them (and there's been a huge decline in listings for their stuff in the last few years). The pictures at the very least look nice and I've heard good things from the odd forum user who has purchased one! Cons are also great for unofficial merch once they open up again; ponies are common to find in Artists' Alleys, and often artists just finding their feet in terms of profiting off of their product will slash their prices to ensure publicity. Hope some of this helps!
  9. I probably already commented here, but I only sleep with my pones because they INSIST on falling over and smothering me otherwise!! The slightest movement and I'm covered in rainbow horses...
  10. Got woken up by my girlfriend the other day, frantically calling me that she'd found pony build a bears at a car boot sale...ended up with Rainbow Dash and Vinyl Scratch! The only Mane Six BAB I'm missing now is Rarity, hoping to find her soon
  11. She's the kindest person I've ever met! I'm a very sensitive person so it's really difficult for me to open up to anyone, but she's just so sweet that I don't get any anxiety at all when I talk to her, even if I'm revealing some deep secret about myself that I'd usually cry if I had to talk about Does your SO like ponies/are they a brony?
  12. Dear Princess Cadance, Please have another wedding so I can buy more toys of you. I'm begging... Your faithful student, ToastedScone.
  13. Vinyl Scratch...I'm not very music oriented and I'm reeeeally quiet, so I'm pretty sure she'd get bored of my company pretty fast
  14. That period of the night where it's so late it's basically early...I'm bad at going to sleep on time Favourite album?
  15. Part six of Jojo/Stone Ocean! I felt it needed a reread after the anime reveal What's your favourite meme format? It doesn't have to be a new or relevant one!
  16. My parents do, and I live in their house, so...kind of? Do you own any "rare" Pokémon cards?
  17. Granted, but you have to deal with constant, incurable and painful nausea from being up that high. I wish it would snow.

  19. Hihi everypony! I've gotten back into my obsession with Pokemon SWSH so uhh...here's my league card, or at least my old one:ButtercupLaugh:

    I used to be so proud of it.....

  20. Hihi everypony!

    It's my birthday today! I was surprised with two of the draw-on-me ponies (Rainbow and Pinkie!), they're super cute even if I'm not entirely sure if I actually want to even mess with the main gimmick of drawing on them...from childhood memories of the scribble-me bears (is that what they were called?), the pens never smell too great and don't wash out as well as they say on the box:lie:

    But whether I draw on 'em or not, my kind family and friends are helping me expand my hoard of pony merch, so I'm pleased :ButtercupLaugh:

      YAY! Happy Birthday! :yay: :blue_baloon::balloon:
      Probably would have posted on your page, but the forum has not been doing a good job of telling me which of my friends are celebrating birthdays lately.

  21. MLP was my go-to while I was struggling to get an autism diagnosis (the NHS lists to get an appointment are LOOOONG!) and dumbly making my way through exams, as at the time I didn't have many friends that cared enough to listen. Pinkie in particular has been my light for years now, and even though I'm much better mentally nowadays, she still means a lot to me
  22. I'm a lesbian and a Pegasister and I've legitimately been told I must be straight because I enjoy girly media? This was NOT an issue I thought would go both ways
