Nikola Xerdav 88 June 17, 2015 Share June 17, 2015 (edited) let's begin! i have been on and off EqD, not really satisfied with it, there doesn't seem to be a forum there, so mostly my entire time getting into MLP:FiM has relied on trying to connect to people on Youtube, but that only works so much, because i tend to make really long comments and i feel like no one likes having in depth conversations on Youtube that doesn't involve making "response videos" which i am too lazy to make at this current time. so now i am here, hoping that i can have discussions, or friendly debate, about characters, plot elements, or entire episodes even, without feeling like i am talking to myself. i'm afraid i am a complicated soul too, i both love and hate myself, but i don't want to get into my life story. but what i will say as far as MLP goes, i will elaborate that RD is my favorite pony by default, i do not claim her to be superior to the other ponies, even though she is totally awesome and 20% cooler than the other ponies (i'm kidding), i acknowledge her flaws, and i try to forgive her when she has been a selfish jerk, or sometimes lazy and ignorant. with all that in mind, i actually have a 3 way tie in my mind between RD, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie, which i like for such different reasons, that i can't pit them against each other fairly. as for the others within the mane six, i have no hate for them, but i honestly find AJ, Rarity, and TS to be kind of boring in most episodes, AJ is too country for me, Rarity is too Zoolander for me, and i do like TS, but aside from her amazing, but rare, OCD freak outs, she is only as interesting as her friends allow her to be. there is a TL:DR story of how i got into MLP:FiM, and for those you care and or dare to know, i honestly thought the brony fandom was a joke and i honestly couldn't believe anyone above age 10 who was male would like a show about pretty candy ponies. at the same time, i honestly also didn't care, at all, and i didn't go out of my way to ridicule such people, it's not like i am not into my own "weird" stuff already, being an otaku and all, in fact, borderline weeaboo even xD but then about a month ago, i reinstalled Team Fortress 2, even though i know i suck at it, and because i suck at it, i was looking for different kinds of maps and servers to play on, and then i saw a MLP gametype called Boss Fight or something, i thought it would be hilarious to run around as pony models and kill people. it only took 2 hours before i had every brony irritated at all the questions i was asking chat by then, because i thought that a lot of the 3D models were kinda cool, and when i learned that Cheese Sandwich was Weird Al i had a feeling that i was missing out on something. so i kept playing on that server for a couple days, and then i decided to start doing research on youtube because now i was curious to see if MLP was really worth watching. i found that the top searches were both fan and hater videos, but the thing was, i noticed that hater videos were very short and really had no substance, were very brash, and honestly didn't have well fleshed out opinions, and i hate that. when i review an anime i hate, i will give you at least 3 full paragraphs explaining why Soul-eater gave me cancer after 7 episodes.. (oops, did i just say that? lol), but i can't take MLP haters seriously, because they didn't even seem to watch more than 2 minutes of the show before giving a single paragraph of hate speech. this research of MLP was just me dancing around the issue instead of just caving in and watching it on Netflix, which i knew it was on (my friends had actually added MLP:FiM onto my Netflix list, and made gay jokes about me as a prank, but i dismissed it at the time because i knew i didn't watch the show). after some positive youtube reviews, i was almost there, but decided to watch one of the brony documentaries on Netflix, and though it was the one with Ashleigh Ball (the not-as-good-as-the-other-one), i reached my peak and i was like "fuck it, i'm gonna watch the first two episodes". what happened after that was that i watched 6 episodes straight, and i only stopped because i had stay awake until like 8 AM, lol (i forgot to mention that i literally spent only one entire night on the third day of playing that MLP TF2 gametype, researching MLP:FiM). and so now over the course of this month i am caught up on Netflix, and started using my tv again to DVR the season 5 episodes. i do not consider myself a brony, though i did buy 2 t-shirts, i also watch every decent looking fanmade video, i listen to Ponyforce, Equestrian Lord, and the dubstep person who named themself after DJ PON3, i read fanfics sometimes, and i have a MLP mod in Skyrim that lets me transform into a pony of my choice. no, i'm not obsessed, i promise ~insert manic Twilight Sparkle meme here~ hehe xD okay, i may be a little bit of a brony, but even though i am on a "high" because i was bewildered by this show being so good, i still have issues which i will eventually start discussions and or debates about the show and how i feel like Cindy Morrow and M A Larson are hit or miss writers, but that is something i will let be for now, since this is a mere introduction post. cya later fellow ponies Edited June 17, 2015 by Nikola Xerdav 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikola Xerdav 88 June 17, 2015 Author Share June 17, 2015 hey there MountainDrew, and aside from i may have listed on my profile, i don't play much for video games anymore. i primarily just play BF4 and Skyrim, then Tibia and GW2 for mmos, and i've been very inactive on those lately to be part of the MLP community and absorb all the fan content 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
