    What's the most obscure music you listen to?

    in Media Discussion

    It's pretty hard for me to tell what is obscure, so I suppose I should be careful labelling my music obscure. I've never met very many people that like these acts, though: Tom Waits, ThouShaltNot, Evelyn Evelyn, Dr. Steel, Saints of Ruin, Ghoultown, Rufus Rex, birdeatsbaby, Ghostfire and Skinny Puppy.

    Opinions of haters?

    in Sugarcube Corner

    I literally could not believe it. I guess I'm naive. I NEVER would've imagined things would escalate like this... Insulting Yahoo articles(like that's new), Insulting Fox news coverage, Insulting internet haters and my father disapproves. Wow... I just realized. I totally should've seen this coming. But I didn't

     

    I literally became a brony because I was insulted at the way two of my classmates were being treated for liking the show. I prolly would've ended up a brony anyway. But I was angry. What the actual hell drug do people think they're on, that they can hate on people for liking a show!?

    Mental Health - Twilight Sparkle

    I disagree about her having aspergers. She's a recluse before she meets the other mane 6, but that's because she wanted to be. It's not like she couldn't make friends, but she didn't know how much fun it would be. She prioritized study because it's the way she grew up. She was introverted because it was the way she grew up, and thought that having friends was a waste of time.

     

    Aspies (like me) often want to have friends but can have a lot of trouble making them because of their social anxiety problems.

     

    Twilight spoke to strangers really calmly showing little or no signs of anxiety at all. Notice how in the first episode she contrasts Fluttershy with this. I think Fluttershy is much more likely to have AS, if anything.

     

    I, too, agree. Asperger's is characterized by difficulty in looking people in the eyes, physical and athletic awkwardness, difficulty in making friends, in speaking, in interacting socially. It's not just being reclusive, stubborn and brainy. Twilight does tend towards the compulsiveness that I find in myself, like looking-up, cataloging information and reading. But that's the extent of Asperger's that I see.

     

    I was also thinking Fluttershy seemed more like a likely candidate as well.

    Items of Sentimental value

    in General Discussion

    My first copy of the adventures of Sherlock Holmes and a painting that my grandmother painted for me when I was a child. Those are really the only things I feel like keeping close to me at all times. If I ever lost either of them I would be supremely unhappy and would not be able to love or tolerate anypony responsible.

    Best Gaming CONSOLE

    PS3, no need to pay for online experiences. Plus Sony isn't owned by Satan, aka Microsoft. Sorry, Xbox bronies, if I sound bitter. I'm a Linux kind of person and I buy Apple products just because I imagine how it might piss Bill Gates off a micro-nano-angstrom of a(whatever a measurement of being pissed-off is) if he knew. Wii isn't too bad either.

    Stupid crap that people say when you tell them what a Brony is.

    in Sugarcube Corner

    Let's see the ever popular accusation of being "Gay". Mostly come from my father when I told him. Hahaha...parenting. He acted like he was casting a #$@%ing spell! Like he was saying: "You like ponies, I must now complete the package and make you homosexual by repeating the word gay while pointing at you."

     

    Ironically I watched it with my sister and he watched it with us and liked it. He still insists I must be gay, despite having had a girlfriend for almost two years now.

    Girl gamers.

    in Media Discussion

    According to Yahoo's troll news article, there are no girl video gamers. They're mythical. I have a 17yrold sister, though, that perfect runs Mega Man games in her spare time and can obliterate some Killzone 3 and Demon's Souls. It's a constant fight between us to determine which one of us is the better gamer. If it's a platformer or a third-person game, she usually wins. If it's an RPG, dungeon crawler or a first person game, I've got the best odds.

    Somepony on deviantart made a reaction comic of the mane 6 reading the fanfic and showing their reactions to it. Once I saw how they would react to it, I realized it really didn't have anything to do with the actual characters in the show. I would look for them on deviantart and see if they help.
