TailsIsNotAlone

I mostly get stuff online, so I don't have to worry about it. But I looked at the pony toys at a Wal-Mart early this morning when almost nobody else was in there, and I still felt very self-conscious. I didn't dare buy any of them, but that was due to the prices more than the embarrassment...plus some of them don't even look like the characters. Especially the plushies. This will not stand. I demand better quality merchandise from Hasbro! But where were we? Well, I'm a 27-year-old guy so I would definitely get weird looks, which I hate because I tend to be extremely shy and sensitive. If I did buy something, I'd have to say it was for my little sister or whatever (I don't have one). -_-

This one's kind of unique. I'm going to throw some different situations at you, and you tell us which Mane 6 pony you would pick to help you out and why. Resist the urge to pick your favorite for all of them, and remember to give a reason why you chose that pony. Here are the five challenges! 1. You've really been looking forward to the prom, but despite your obvious good looks and general awesomeness, you find yourself a party of one. You decide to ask one of the ponies to be your date instead! (Strictly as friends of course.) The dance will be big and noisy, but formal, and you want to make a good impression. Which pony do you take with and why? 2. You get stuck having to babysit the worst-behaved kid in the neighborhood. He's disrespectful, uses bad language and steals stuff. One time he egged your family's car on a Halloween run through the town. Everybody who knows his family says the boy is a hopeless case, his parents can't control him and he'll probably end up homeless or in prison. But you also hear that the kid is misunderstood and has no direction. You can take one M6 pony with you to help watch him for the night. Which do you choose? 3. Your brother/sister is pretty smart and has the potential to do well in school, but instead they're struggling and getting poor grades. He or she is under a lot of stress outside school and just broke up with their boyfriend/girlfriend, which makes things worse. What does your sibling need most? A tutor, a friend to hang out with, a love doctor or a workout partner to burn off the stress? Which pony would you put on the job? 4. One day you receive an invitation to Equestria from the princess. The kingdom is being attacked by a new force of evil and for whatever reason you're the only human who can lead the forces of pony good. You'll need help to get familiar with Equestria, plan out battles and study the enemy's weakness. Which pony will you take as your partner in the struggle to save the world? 5. You are all alone in a dark place. You feel sad, unattractive and unwanted, and you need somepony with you. All of a sudden, there she is! Who is she?

Agreed. It's nice to think of a world where the ruler actually does something besides read letters and show up before/after all the action, but the Mane 6 needs someone else to rule so they have their hooves free to go out and save Equestria. Let Cadence do the paperwork.

If MLP holds up an unrealistic good/evil dichotomy, it's no worse than a ton of other shows and movies that do the same thing. And some of the antagonists did have reasons for what they did, or were misunderstood and redeemed later. (Nightmare Moon for instance.)

With wings on the back. I shall conquer the world with this shirt. I shall end all bad things, from Family Guy to Burger King fries, with Dashie on my side. And then you will all be a part of my joyful New Pony Order. Just as soon as it comes in the mail.

People can spell Bic Mac's name with or without the "A." Don't worry, I'll still love you. o.O Apple (the company) isn't really a factor with me. Lack of a right-click button = evil and I don't want an iPhone, but I have no problem with them. I doubt if Mac has much time to surf the web anyway.

I do I do! She's awesome. Not my top favorite, that's Rainbow, but I really identify with Twilight. She's a great main character because she doesn't overwhelm the show, but she's not a generic "straight man" (or straight pony) character either.

I just found a picture that describes it perfectly for many of us... http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/171/1/3/the_my_little_pony_effect_by_miharuzee-d3jfyt7.jpg So true. I'm pacing myself instead of devouring the episodes one after another, because the third season doesn't start for a while yet...but my Rainbow Dash shirt is already in the mail.

This IS my first week as a brony. So it's still pretty fresh in my mind. I discovered the show on September 10th. I haven't told anyone except you guys. I don't have any friends I hang out with and I'm not really in touch with most of my family. I just keep to myself. MLP has really helped me, and so has the forum. It would have been a lousy week otherwise. At home I look up, watch, and talk about ponies. At work? Think about ponies. My fanfiction ideas? Now full of ponies. For lunch? Eat ponies. Just kidding on that last one. *hugs you* I know how you feel.

You can't have enough question threads. 1. Save her anyway! We must keep some ponies around to rebuild the post-apocalyptic world into a better place, with more friendship. And magic. 2.Give it to her, but only if she had some carrots with it. Maybe they'll help with her eyesight. xD 3. Twilight. It makes a lot of sense to me and I've actually seen some Twilight/Spike fics that weren't bad. 4. HIDE THE CLOPFICS!!! JK. I'd be honored if the greatest organizer in all of Equestria took the trouble to come to the human world and clean up my messy room. 5. I KNOW she looks cute in glasses. Isn't that right, Miss Sparkle? 6. Wow, that's how you know they've become a religion for sure. Notify Princess Celestia that their crusade is getting way out of hand and the Mane 6 should go straighten them out. 7. Tell Twilight to stop pulling pranks on her and turn her back into a pony so we can all have a party. I love Pinkie Pie. 8. "You have reached the voicemail box of Lauren Faust. Please leave a message after the tone. BEEP." ............ "Hi, Lauren? Um, big brony here...I'm having kind of a problem." *sounds of groaning undead ponies in background* "Can you get in touch with the MLP writing staff again? I think they're going a little too dark with Season 3. Gotta go, Fluttershy's trying to eat my flesh. Bye." 9. My room isn't big enough for all of them, let alone my bed! Okay, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy get the bed because they're especially sensitive and need the most attention. Spike gets a sleeping bag in the living room with Rarity. It'll cheer him right up and distract her from any bad dream she might've had. Twilight gets the easy chair near the books. I'll put a blanket on the floor for Applejack, and finally, Rainbow Dash gets a hammock. 10. YES! Who wouldn't want to fly with Dashie? Better than any roller coaster. As long as she doesn't go too fast.
