Chopsticks 20 October 30, 2016 Share October 30, 2016 My Favourite Mane 6 Pony: FluttershyHow did you find MLP Forums?: Did a Google search about Alicorns while drawing gift art of one and came across a thread discussion in this forum on the first page. Informative and reasonable thought. Kudos to "Avatar tag: shipping" thoughtful insights reeling me in. How you became a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: Try the short version. 9 years ago my cousin and I were roommates. Roommates need 'weapons' to use on each other to get things done or not done. Everything bothered me, nothing bothered him. Until I stumbled on a song with the Chipettes (female Chipmunks). The sound really aggravated him so I pretended to be a fan. Then as I drew fanart and watched the show / movies, I really became a fan. A new side to me was born into cartooning, fashion, shopping, singing, and all girly entertainment. Tinkerbell and Monster High followed. I resisted becoming a brony for many years because I knew I would love the show so much I'd have to drop all my other fandoms and interests. So starting this year the time was right! I mostly interact with the brony fandom in the Facebook groups. You might know me there as Mark Young, aka Chopsticks. I interact with the pony fandom through this character (OC and ponysona, I use the term "pony avatar"). I've been a brony for about 9-10 months. I've watched everything up through Season 6, and bought Seasons 1-5 to help support the show since I'm not a collector. A few of my traits and previous interests I am artistic (or try to be), and have dabbled in making a conlang (made up, functional languages), voice acting, singing, and I do a lot of writing, art, character creation, independent study, and research. I do not watch TV, follow sports, play games, or participate in the anime community. I used to co-run a Facebook group dedicated to discussing crossover fictional battles so I've been sadly well educated on a number of fictional battle and versus topics from individual characters on up to entire military conquest. But I don't have time for any of that anymore! Not while there are ponies! What I do? When I first dabbled in the Facebook MLP groups I realized that my first piece of fanart (Pinkamena holding a chainsaw) was not allowed in any of them. There was no major Facebook pony group for more adult themes and one of the admins was ridiculed and thousands of members were complaining. Every day there was a complaint; no swearing, no gore, not even a little, harmless reference. Admins couldn't keep up with the content posted at the night hours. So I organized such a Facebook group a few months ago. We're coming up on 3,000 members. I draw ponies, and I've had HorseNews write an article on one of my pieces of artwork (which I won't mention here for reasons, if you know me you probably know what I'm talking about). Only 4 months into the fandom at the time and I felt like I was already burning it to the ground. -_- I enjoy making memes and ponifying popular memes to fulfill Rule 85. I have a comic strip about Chopsticks / my adventures, I'm working on some fan fiction that is, so far, well-received by beta readers (and I was hoping I could find some more here). And because ponies kept asking I finally made a Facebook page. So basically... In short, I'm an aspiring content creator. (If you dozed off to sleep or skipped through the wall of text, this is the summary ) I love making people laugh and cry, emote and express. My life feels fulfilled and complete with what ponies have given me. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
