My default response to trolls is rational responses. Essentially, most trolls are basing whatever they're saying on either intentionally flawed premises or just flat-out assumptions. Which means it's easy for someone like me to respond with a reasoned argument and utterly tear their statements or assertions apart, without resorting to insults and other such methods of arguing. The result is that the troll sees not only that I'm not giving him an emotional response, rather a logical, but also sees that I'm making an absolute fool of him. Hence, he becomes angry, starts throwing petty insults designed more to fire everywhere and hope something sticks, I continue my rational responses, it continues escalating on his end, and suddenly the person who started the conversation with the sole purpose of making me upset is the one who is being made upset, and I didn't even need to insult him in any way. It's quite effective.

Heh, pretty good. Well-drawn, clever reference. And, as Jokuc said, friggin' Jason Vorhees, lol. I'm not a huge fan of the Friday the 13th series, (Not that I don't like horror or slasher films) but Jason is a badass, plain and simple.

Ayo, welcome to the herd. I, too, enjoy all types of games. Maybe we could play whenever I get my online gaming situation sorted out 

As for da musics, I also like rock, although my favorite genres are various forms of electro; dubstep, hard glitch, trap, etc. Any bands you particularly like? 

Anyway, always glad to have new members on the forum. I'm sure you'll enjoy your time here.

Frankly, such conduct is never acceptable. I've seen numerous examples of similar situations, and every single one was disgusting and unjustified. The worst scenario I've seen is an instance of a person receiving threats from people in the real world over something harmless he shared on the internet, but the other examples are equally wrong.

Less importantly, not to be rude or anything, but you really should pay more attention to spelling and grammar, especially if you're starting a topic. It just helps make the whole site easier to use when people make sure that posts are easily readable, and I'm sure it makes it easier on mods as well.

Words.

Words, which I hold in such great respect.

Words, which at one time I considered near omnipotent.

Words, which are powerless to describe my fangasm for these plushies, my hnnnnnggg at their accuracy, my desire for one of my very own.

Words.

I definitely like Vinyl Scratch better than the Derpster, which isn't to say that I don't like Derpy. She's just more of a joke than anything else for me, whereas Scratchie is a badass DJ who specializes in my favorite genre of music, dubstep. That's hard to compete with. Oh, and I like her mane.

Personally, I like both, but I guess I'm more of a cat person. Cats fit me better, since they're so independent, and besides that, there's just something I like about them that I can't explain.

Well, I've got a few things to mention.

Firstly, the fandom is how I met a lot of my best friends. In fact, had I not joined this fandom, I would probably have never met my current boyfriend, Dustin, and it would likely have taken me much longer to even realize I'm bisexual, as it was while talking with Dustin a few months ago that I came to this realization.

Secondly, I ended up first talking to a new student at school a few weeks ago because he noticed, among other pieces of themed apparel, my Rainbow Dash headphones and Luna T-Shirt.

Lastly, my favorite memory tied to the fandom and quite possibly my fondest memory ever. Last September I went to the Canterlot Gardens convention in Srongsville, Ohio, and during the Voice Actors Panel, a young girl asked Tara Strong if she could sing BBBFF for her, not realizing someone else sang it in the show. Despite this fact, Ms. Strong agreed to do so, on the condition that the whole room join her. So, everyone in the room began singing along with her, including myself, and in that moment, I truly felt that I belonged, in a way I had never done so before. Later on, I joined a few cosplayers I hadn't met before in singing other songs from the show outside the building, and while it wasn't on the same level as the earlier event, it was quite wonderful, especially for someone like myself, who rarely sings in public or talks to people I don't know. I socialized a lot more than usual in general that day, even asking cosplayers if I could get pictures to post on a facebook page I admin. That day was honestly the best of my life.

I'm sorry, I can't draw bionic ponies :/ Let me know if you'd like me to just draw him regularly. Until I get a reply, your request will be postponed so that the thread doesn't become clogged.

Sure, that'd be great. The character he's based on ends up getting his normal limbs back eventually, so that'll totally work. Thanks 

P.S. The ones you've made so far look great! Keep up the good work 

Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day.

I'm so ridiculously okay with this, you have no idea. Probably my favorite Green Day song, which is saying something.

Dat limey 

... Wow. The only problem that I really see is that their shoes come up to their knees... looks kinda awkward, I think. I don't really see an issue with their hair, though... I've seen much more plastic-looking hair in other pictures, this hair actually looks pretty natural to me. And I've also seen lots of people wearing shorts under skirts... It's generally done to avoid showing underwear if the person might do something active, like running, or say, flying. The action Dash is known for. So, yeah, I would think she would almost definitely wear shorts under her skirt, if she were to wear a skirt.

Beyond all that, the fact that the new character designs aren't amazing doesn't mean it'll be crap. I'm still gonna give it a shot. 

Hey, welcome to the herd, always glad to have more people to talk to 

By the way, what exactly has you OC (who I think is pretty cool, by the way) done to get everypony to cheer for him like that?

Pony Name: Edward Elric

Picture Reference: My avatar 

Cutie Mark Reference: Ditto

Shovel, Sword, Axe, Stick, or Pickaxe? Diamond Sword Please 

Rainbowbronies

Also, if you could do the goggles mentioned in the topic, I would absolutely adore that 

My Skype name is Nilkad_Naquada, same as my name here. I mostly use Skype for rping in IM. I'm open to all rps, of any kind, no restrictions.

But... But that word is too big for my brain to comprehend! I mean, I knew that they were anthro, but I really didn't know that big word.

Heh, fair enough. I'm just sort of a stickler for that, as it always annoys me when people confuse those two words. I just end up sitting and stewing as people around me call anthros humanized and humans anthro.

 

I much prefer FMA over brotherhood because even tho it couldn't follow the source material, they did there own story that was epic and even the creator of FMA said so. Its a shame it gets shot down so much nowdays.

I don't despise FMA by any means, I just like the original story better than the one it told. The way I see it, the story that Hiromu Arakawa told was very close to perfect, so I just prefer it not to be changed, even if the changed story is still good, which the FMA anime certainly was.

Honestly, I don't think they look bad. Like you said, AJ and Dashie look a bit off, but on the whole I think they're pretty decent visual interpretations. By the way, they're anthropomorphized, not humanized.

Wow, it's been way too long since I checked this thread... sorry 

Anyway.

Hey Nilkad! So I'm just wondering, what bands (if any) are you currently in to? Or what type of music do you most enjoy the most?

Currently, my favorite bands are Shinedown, Foo Fighters, and Kansas. My favorite solo musicians are GHO57, Celldweller, Knife Party, Yelling at Cats, and Additive Subtractive. The type of music I most enjoy is dubstep, but I love most varieties of electro, as well as rock, some jazz, and even the occasional rap (especially if said rap is by Yelling at Cats.)

what is thy name?
what is thy quest?
what... is your favorite color?
did you get this reference?

what is you're favorite episode from FMA
what is you're favorite episode from FMA brotherhood

why is a bastard sword called that?

My name is Gabe, my quest is to design games, my favorite color is orange, and the reference is to Monty Python and the Holy Grail, one of the greatest comedies of all time.

 I haven't watched all of FMA, because I realized toward the beginning that I just like FMA Brotherhood better, since it stays truer to the original manga, which I prefer over either. Consequently, I don't really have a favorite episode. On the other end of the spectrum, I don't really have a favorite episode of FMA Brotherhood because they're all just so great, although I must say I really like the one where Greed sacrifices himself, as this was a really big moment for me. I'm also a big fan of the Shou Tucker episode. It was certainly fucked up in all sorts of directions, but I think it was done well and really had an impact. 

I have no idea where a bastard sword got its name from.

Hey, welcome to the herd. I know that feeling, over the course of a few weeks I went from never having heard of Friendship is Magic to being obsessed.

Bitchin' guitar. I'm cool with this.

Dont know if anyone already posted about the Kinsey scale, 72 pages are way too many to look through. But anyways, its always irked me that in mainstream society we generally only have the few standard options to choose from. The school of thought that you're either gay, bi, or straight. When I ran across the Kinsey scale I though that was pretty cool, that there were more options for the greyer areas of sexuality. Its not always as simple as a cliched label.

 

Dont get mad at me for linking wikipedia  : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinsey_scale

Under those criteria, I would most likely be at 1, though it shifts up and down from time to time. Which is another reason I like it.

That's actually really interesting. This is honestly the first I've ever heard of such a thing. Personally, I'd say I'm around 2.
