Sorry to necropost, but Hey! That's me!
So random, I was watching a Cringe Comp with my friend recently, and I kept making the joke "Oh hey, that's Me!" But then I remembered that there WAS a photo of me that has been in a couple cringe comps, and decided to try looking it up, and saw This thread. I haven't been active in the fandom in Years, but I knew I had an old account here that I promised a bunch of request drawings on and never finished (Yeah, I'm probably not gonna finish those, so if you're still waiting... Uh, sorry... Although, I did think it would be pretty funny to suddenly show back up after ten years with all the requests done, but I'm much too lazy to pull that off... Anyway back to it:) So I decided to log back in and say hi!
Mostly positive responses from you all, and I appreciate it, even if Most of you Also haven't been on here in years. I'll try my best to answer some of the questions I've seen, or just what I think people Might wonder about:
First, Why? Pretty simple that one, I thought it would be funny. I didn't Always carry her around, but I thought it would be good for a laugh, maybe start a conversation or two with the people brave enough to approach me. At the time I had one for Each of the Mane Six, and also four of the CMC (Including Babs, but this was well before Gabby was a thing). I actually had them made by a woman selling them on here, though it looks like she hasn't logged in since 2013. As for the fedora... Well, unfortunately that was Unironic. I wouldn't say I Regret wearing it, but it certainly was a phase that I eventually grew out of.
This was a night class at the university I was attending. I honestly don't even remember the subject of that class, I think it was Sociology? I actually dropped that one not too far in, I just had no interest in the topic.
The person who Took the photograph originally posted it on, I wanna say Instagram? Not certain of that, maybe tumblr? IDK, wherever it was, I remember it had a caption to the effect of "Sign up for night classes they said, it'll be fine they said", and I actually reached out to her. I said That I wish she had asked first before posting my picture online, so that I could at least be smiling in it, and she apologized saying that she had no idea it would gain so much traction. I don't know if she was Sincere, but she seemed nice enough, and I don't actually mind. I did it for a laugh anyway, and I don't mind being the butt of the joke.
If anybody has further questions, I'll try to answer, but honestly I don't know if I'll remember to check here again later. I'll bookmark the page, and I guess we'll see!
