MisterGunpowder 19 November 20, 2015 Share November 20, 2015 How did you find MLP Forums?: Google. I'll elaborate in a moment. How you became a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: Essentially, family. I'll elaborate on this in a moment, too. However, if you'll indulge me for but a moment... Hello, dear sirs and madams. A lovely evening, is it not? Forgive me for intruding, perhaps you were intending to take a stroll, perhaps you were merely enjoying the view. No matter, I thought that it was time we had a little chat, you and I. ??? Me? Ahh... I was forgetting that we are not properly introduced. Please, allow me to introduce myself. I'm a man of wealth, and taste. I'm the king of the twentieth century. I'm the bogeyman. The villain...The black sheep of the family. I do not have a name. You can call me Mister G. ... Well, I'm a funny person, sirs and madams. You'll find that out when you've known me longer. A very funny person indeed. ... There, now we know each other. Actually, I've been following you for quite some time. Oh, I know what you're thinking... "The poor boy has a crush on us... an adolescent infatuation". I beg your pardon, sirs and madams. It isn't like that at all. I've long watched you... Albeit only from a distance. I used to stare at you from the streets below when I was a watcher. !!! Though recognition's been delayed by its circuitous construction, now the pattern, long concealed, emerges into view. Is it not fine? Is it not simple, and elegant, and severe? How strange, after the long exacting toil of preparation, it takes only the slightest effort and less thought to send this brief, elaborate amusement on its breathless, hurtling race. The merest touch, no more, and everything falls into place. The pieces can't perceive as we the mischief their arrangement tempts. Those stolid law-abiding queues, so pregnant with catastrophe. Insensible before the wave so soon released by callous fate. Affected most, they understand the least, and understanding, when it comes, invariably arrives too late. !!! ...Did you think to kill me? There's no flesh or blood in this cloak to kill. Only an idea. ...? I killed you ten minutes ago. It won't hurt, I promise. ...? Everybody is special. Everybody. Everybody is a hero, a lover, a fool, a villain, everybody. Everybody has their story to tell… ---------------------------- Well, enough of that. I was serious about calling me Mister G, though. It's simple enough. I think that since you indulged me in my weird little intro, (which, while exagerated, is mostly true except for the bit where I "killed" you. Obviously, I won't attempt any such thing unless we're in an RP, where all bets are off,) I think I should only tell you a little bit about myself. Let's start with how I learned about the show and my general experience. Well, it technically started with a webcomic which no longer really exists, and thus is not relevant. I followed it for a time, read the newsposts along with the comic. The author had begun watching it, and was an avid fan. I, for the life of me, couldn't understand why exactly he so fervently supported something like My Little Pony. It wasn't that it was a girl's show, but growing up, the third generation had always been something to fall under the interest of my sisters, and thus I, inevitably, only remembered the awful abomination that it was. Yet here was someone who was clearly telling a story I was enjoying, and enjoyed this story in turn. It was enough for me to take note, but not seek it out. However, I really learned of the show because of my aforementioned sisters. Both were pretty young when the show started, as was I now that I think about it, but the point remains that they watched it. Thus, inevitably, this led to me watching it. The first episode I ever watched was Look Before You Sleep, which really was enough. That night, I binge watched the rest of the first season, and this was right after the first season haf finished airing, so no season 2 yet. It was around that time that I started participating in the community. The first forum I ever joined was one for one of the many failed MLP MMO projects, this one having died because it believed itself inferior to another project. It was called Equestria Chronicles, for the curious or those with a familiarity for it, which really only survived through today as a sparsely populated Steam group that was founded while I was present. I never really dedicated myself to a forum again after that, choosing instead to lurk amongst the other sites in the fandom, mostly FiMFiction and Derpibooru. That said, I found this forum when, very recently, Rarity Fighting a Giant Crab came up on Derpibooru. I was perplexed to its existence and Googled it, and lo an behold, I found that the most informative result was a topic here. I decided to look around a bit, and figured that it couldn't hrut to try another forum again. Besides, once I get past that pesky post protection (which I fully understand, don't worry) you guys have a roleplaying section. I'll be fine here. On a more miscellaneous note, and for those wondering 'What the hell just happened up there?', that was merely me demonstrating my love of comic books, particularly V for Vendetta which is a lovely book written by Alan Moore. I'll be demonstrating that more later, I assure you, particularly when DC comes up (especially Superman and Green Lantern.) This does mean that I do read the comics, yes. I enjoy them well enough. That said, before anyone asks about how I didn't answer the first, obvious question...Splendid ponies, all of them. I think that's my traditional answer to that question. Any others? 6 "That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons, even death may die." -Abdul Alhazred, The Necronomicon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11th Doctor Whooves 794 November 20, 2015 Share November 20, 2015 Ah, a fellow V for Vendetta fan, though I confess, I've only seen the movie, and have yet to read the graphic novel, something which I intend to fix one of these days.

MisterGunpowder 19 November 20, 2015 Author Share November 20, 2015 Ah, a fellow V for Vendetta fan, though I confess, I've only seen the movie, and have yet to read the graphic novel, something which I intend to fix one of these days. Anywho, welcome to the Forum, I'm sure you'll have a great time here Highly recommended. My own opinions of the film are...limited, (which I suppose is a nice, neutral term for it,) so I tend towards urging people to read the graphic novel if at all possible. Something of note I will say as a warning is that V is far less heroic in the graphic novel than he is in the film, so that may or may not color your taste. 6 "That is not dead which can eternal lie.

I'm sure I'll enjoy it even if he isn't the hero he was in the movie. I'll just enjoy it on a different level than I did the film. 6 Ask 11thDoctorWhooves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good. I was unsure of what you enjoyed, and that's the most common thing I've heard from people who liked the film but didn't like the comic so I felt the need to point it out. If you don't mind, then by all means read it. 4 "That is not dead which can eternal lie.
