NostalgicPony

For the longest time I have always played Engineer. But sometimes I play a little bit of Sniper and Heavy, or Spy.

But I enjoy Engineer the most. My load out is usually the Frontier Justice, Wrangler, and Southern Hospitality.

I'm usually pretty happy and friendly to my friends as well as my acquaintances. I often say please and thank you and help people out if needed. I'm also pretty tolerant and don't really get sensitive to certain weird subjects. I do have my moment though. But overall I'm pretty friendly.

For me it's just an acquired taste of sound for my ears. I am not a big fan of Rap or Hip Hop but I personally love certain individual artists like J Dilla because some of his Hip Hop has a lot of powerful meanings to it, but also he does a lot of Hip Hop/Ambient mixes which is what I love about him.

Some songs from guys like Notorious BIG, Tupac, and other earlier artists are good, but I have to admit that a lot of today's Rap (even other genres) do not appeal to me. Unfortunately, today's norm of rap seems to revolve around the promotion of hard drugs and alcohol as well as degrading women and many other issues, and that never works with me. However, some of their music does explain the pain and suffering they undergo in where they grew up, or what they witness around them and creates a monumental message for those that listen.

So over all, Rap is not necessarily bad, it's just poetry with a beat.

Before Bronyism I was heavily (and still is) into the Furry fandom, Bioshock fandom, Steampunk, Pokemon, Anime. There might be other ones but so far that is all.

Another popular and powerful short read is this one:

Bubbles

Probably the only story out there that I have read that brought a tear to my eye.

Nomnomnom

Ah.

 

No, I've heard of them though. They do ambient stuff, right?

Yes, they do lots of Ambient/IDM material. They are part of the record label WARP (home to artists like Aphex Twin, Autechre, Flying Lotus, etc.).

Well, I mean in terms of images related to BoC, I think it may have been on some forum or something, I can't really remember.

PonyCentral is another brony community forum.

Also, are you a BoC fan by chance?

I could've sworn I'd seen your signature somewhere before, except is didn't say "nostalgicpony" on it.

 

I guess you could say it's making me nostalgic. Don't know what for though.

I forgot the picture where I got it extracted it from, it may have been from a Boards Of Canada picture or something. You may have also seen it at PonyCentral if you are a member there.

Yess... let the nostalgia happen.

Or else what?

You won't get it?

Cause that's all thats really gonna happen.

 

I know, I've tried something similar. ;_;

Eeeeeyup.

Ohai.

 

What brings you here on such a lovely night?

I am bored and I require socializing. OR ELSE.

Good evening everypony.

I'd have to say my all time favorite is the Engineer. I say that because for the past two years of playing TF2 I found myself the only one really defending the intelligence when I play maps like 2Fort and Doublecross. I also assist other Engineers with their equipment and I just like the idea of sentries, dispensers and teleporters. Also, the Frontier Justice.

Other classes include the Sniper, Heavy, Spy and Soldier.

Eccentric. :>

Content.

I used to stay up till like 2am to 4am on nights where I did not have to go to school the next morning.

Now I usually try to go to bed around 10pm to 11pm, sometimes it drags on till midnight.

I got:

• 4 All season tires for my car.
• Ice scraper/brush for my car.
• Pliers for my car.
• A set of car fresheners (Strawberry).
• A good luck coin cat piggy bank.
• Signed letter by Sen. Robert A. Taft along with his personal tie (Political Memorabilia).
• LED Light.
• A couple pairs of nice long sleeved shirts.

My belly is full of nostalgia.

I was eaten by... Sweetie Belle?

Oooooo, pretty.

Swallowed whole by Princess Luna again? This just keeps getting better.

There will always be some sort of shipping going on in any fandom, whether it be Homosexual or Trasnohomopanisexual. The anime fandom is a great example of that (Yaoi/Yuri). My speculation comes from many different perspectives. First, chances are MLP:FiM attracted many Homosexuals because of the feminine concepts expressed through the show (I mean c'mon, it's colorful ponies in a magical land). Although, some people who are Heterosexual or other may also enjoy Male/Male pairings as well as Female/Female because of the affectionate concepts and how the story is written.

Plus, seeing that a lot of males welcome the idea of Female/Female relationships because to them it's attractive (even in non-sexual ways), It's not a big surprise that many brony authors would write stories like that. But if we really look at things objectively, these fics are not really a issue. No one is forcing anyone to read them and are completely harmless to the individual.

The best way to understand and know the facts as to why people write these stories is very easy; ask the authors yourself.

Right, let's spice things up a bit.

Firstly, love relationships for me are a little different then most people. Because I am Pansexual I don't necessarily fall in love with someone at first site and definitely not because of the specific physical factors of someones body. For me it takes a while so I can get to know someone better and understand them on a deeper level as well as analyzing their character. I have no barriers on gender type so I can love a male or a female, It's not their gender that attracts me on a deeper level but the person.

Secondly, I am also a polyamorous person, meaning, I am not monogamous and do not mind having more then one love partner as long as everyone in the relationship is OK with it, aka. Consent and honesty. My personal emotions and philosophy do not agree to the idea that my love should be restricted to just one person and that I feel completely comfortable loving others, it makes me feel like I can connect with others more. Call me greedy or immoral, but that is just how I personally align myself with those kinds of relationships.

Thirdly, Sex is not a main component in my relationships. I am not attracted to the idea of sex and find pornography to be un-arousing. I am not very good at being romantic and sometimes get awkward when I try to be. I welcome holding hands, hugging, snuggling and even kissing with others that I know very close. I guess I just want to be a lovable guy with everybody.

In the belly of Princess Luna? Oh my.

Oh, well that means the ponybot can control it's stomach fluids then

I was swallowed whole by a radioactive looking pony. I think the stomach acids are going to hurt more.

Like EarthbendingProdigy, I am a libertarian as well. I don't really associate myself with modern day " conservatism " or " liberalism " so I'm usually placed in the middle by them for my views. Now I personally love engaging in political and economical discussion. I see it as a learning experience and it helps broaden self-principals. But I have been on forums before where debates I engage in are manipulated and turned into a flamefest, most notably Evolutionists vs. Creationists, and it ruined the civil debate.

When I attack though, it's usually at the principals of people and their actions rather then the personal individual. I never intend to insult someone and create an attack on the man because it's irrelevant to the discussion and creates sidetracks that lead to devastation of the topic. I tolerate all people regardless of their principals. So I completely agree with OP's statements.

I personally an open to Bromance/Girlmance relationships or however you would like to call them. I have a few very close friends whom I look at as close allies and understanding. A few of them are guys while some are girls.

Like what Zygen said, what is wrong with having guys being more emotional and affectionate? I think it's completely fine to be attached to people on a deep level even if it's non-sexual. Hugging a guy and enjoying the idea of being around him is just as fine as a girl doing the same with another, but that's just me. I personally enjoy the idea of cuddling and hugging someone and being close, but some people reject that but I am very thankful that I know some that are the compete opposite.
