It's okay to be a brony?

[Padlock-Keys 57]

*Walks into Toys R Us*

 

Person: Hiya, I would like to apply for a job here, can I have a resume-

 

Cashier: Okay first question, are you a brony who just wants to apply to see our MLP section in the back?

 

*Panel shot there’s a whole bunch of MLP toys in the storage room and the door’s wide open, in the PERSON’s mind the area is GLOWING.*

 

*Person’s eye twitches* Person: No- of course not! *Slaps-self* I am absolutely NOT a brony!

 

*My little pony theme song rings on their cellphone* *Person slaps self again, his forehead gets even redder* *the cashier is smirking, she’s leaning up against the counter looking like ‘uh-huh’.*

 

Sam: Hiya George wanna watch Season’s 3’s livestream with me-

 

George: NO SAM NO I DO NOT- *in a whisper voice* maybe later kays?

 

*The cashier’s face is like ‘oh you got some explaining to do.*

 

George: What’s wrong with being a brony? We’re a proud people!

 

*The cashier face-palms.* Cashier: take it up with the chief, it’s not my decision, not my rules, look pal, I just work here.

 

*Next shot, George is at home. He’s browsing some MLP forum.* George: Like OMG, totally! They snubbed me! I KNOW!

 

*George leans back and sighs he looks at the celling and then begins to think what the cashier said.*

George thinking: take it up with the chief…huh…

 

*The next day George comes back to Toys R US*

 

*Cashier brings out pepper spray.*

 

George: Whoa hold it lady; I just want a friendly chat with your manager, no harm done.

 

*She lowers the pepper spray.*

 

*George is lead into the back.* Cashier: BOSS, the brony’s back! *She quickly exists the room and he give she a nasty snarl.*

 

*The manager is twirled around in his chair and reading a newspaper, he’s not looking at George, and

George is upset.* Manager: Huh, you comin back boy?

 

George: What’s wrong with bronies? I don’t see the damn problem-

 

*The manager turns around in his seat and places the paper down. He sighs.* Manager: Listen kid, your intentions are good, but your fanbase is well, creepy. We’ve got priorities here.

 

George: I LOVE a children’s show, this is a TOY STORE; what priorities can you possibly have that I don’t meet?

 

The manager: …. like I said, your intentions are good in all, but you’re eighteen correct? Can’t you, I dunno, like the avengers or something?

 

George: Ooh I got it, it has something to do with my sexuality! Your worried about THAT!

 

Manager: I didn’t say that!

 

George: I knew it, everyone who sees a male brony thinks they’re a gay faggot! Well lemme tell you something mister, the pony fandom is a proud group of people. We’ve even started a charity and we never expected anything from it, we didn’t want anything in return, but lots of people supported us. All we do is wanna have fun. Why can’t people let us do that?

 

Manager: …. look, I’ll confess, my son, he’s a well, brony and I find it creepy-

 

George: WELCOME TO THE HEARD! My brethren, welcome thee!

 

Manager: Yeah, yeah, don’t mention it kid, really. Don’t mention it. Ever since he’s been obsessed with these… ponies… this one pink one, Pinkie Pie? Whatever, it’s been getting on my nerves, I wanted to ask him stuff, but all he wants to do is draw ponies.

 

George: So you’re taking your rage from your son out on other bronies? That’s not cool man. You shouldn't do that.

 

Manager: I know; I know it!

 

George: Well, just let your kid enjoy what he wants to enjoy. You shouldn’t stop him from enjoying my little pony if he wants to. When he wants to open up let him, don’t force him into stuff. And wow- is that a drawing that he did?

 

*Sees a picture of a manga character in the background the manager turns around.*

 

Manager: Uh, yeah, it is, he’s a great artist-

 

George: I recognize that artwork! Oh my god, he’s that one guy from DeviantART!

 

Manager: Oh boy…

 

George: No no no, this is a GOOD THING, your son is amazing! He participated in Bronies For Good, he did a bunch of stuff!

 

Manager: Bronies for good?

 

George: Yeah! It’s an amazing charity that’s for kids in Uganda. He helped contribute artwork to the cause.

 

Manager: I had no idea…. look kid; I’m sorry about that, come back tomorrow and I’ll have a proper resume filled out for ya okay?

 

George: Sure thing!

 

*George walks out of the office and sees the cashier reading a MLP comic on her computer.* George: My, my what do we have here?

 

Cashier: NOTHING, it’s none of your business-

 

*George laughs* George: Welcome to the heard, my fellow brony~

 

END.

Okay seriously this was a dumb idea I just randomly thought of, in a dream >_< so please be easy on me XD!

[Night Shine 767]

 

Okay then. That was...interesting.

 

I feel like you may or may not come across as a whee bit paranoid in writing this...i doubt that's actually what it's like if a brony applied to a Toys R Us...

 

But if you made this purely for entertainment....i dunno. I relate too much to the brony character to find it super funny, but I've always had problems with that--that's why I can't enjoy shows like South Park >.<

haa, I understand I understand, but there are a lot of stupid animations and fan-fictions and comics out there that don't make any sense at all or have any real plot to them, so I guess this could work *_* I really didn't try that hard, it was made up really randomly... I just thought I was a good idea at first and then I'm like NUUUU.... that couldn't work.

[JeanHover 326]

Haha I seriously wish this would happen, but I also hope it won't. I would lose all faith in humanity if they didn't let you have a job just because you're a brony.

[Dimitri Hammer 3,645]

I thought this was hilariously creative! Very funny.

 

Ha, imagine if I was applying there for a job. That'd be even worse. Brony, Communist, Bearded, Scarred. Best Toys R Us employee ever!

[One 498]

Uhh, ok... I'll just accept it as there and done....

 

I guess it was kinda funny and unique, no strong plot line, but still a decent ending thats kinda random..

Yeah I'm sorry bout that but maybe someday I'll make a better version of this, something that's a little more solid? IDK, maybe I can actually make something of this...

 

Okay guys is it REALLY that bad? Look at the comments I'm getting on DeviantART: http://thebiganimation.deviantart.com/art/It-s-okay-to-be-a-brony-330337596

 

I really don't know-

 

I would really like your opinions on this T_T

[~Muffin of Chaos~ 184]

Meh, It's ok. But... I really don't like how you'll keep doing actions into * *. Here, I'll show you what I mean.

 

What you wrote:

Sam: Hiya George wanna watch Season’s 3’s livestream with me-

 

George: NO SAM NO I DO NOT- *in a whisper voice* maybe later kays?

*The cashier face-palms.* Cashier: take it up with the chief, it’s not my decision, not my rules, look pal, I just work here.

 

How you could make it better:

 

"Hiya George, do you want to watch season 3's livestream with me?" Sam asked over the phone. "NO I DO NOT!" George said in a very loud voice, but then brought his voice to a whisper. "Maybe later, kay?" The cashier was staring at him with a smirk. "What's wrong with being a brony? We are a proud community!" George said, annoyed. The cashier facepalmed, clearly annoyed. "Take it up with the manager, it's not my decision, nor my rules. I'm just doing my job."

I know, I can write like that and I can write so much better. Though I need someone to help me get started because I've been recently under writer's block. Do you have Skype? Maybe you can help me make a better version of this.

 

Maybe I should make this into an RP or something. Would someone be interested in that? Though I need help getting started cause like I said- massive writers block totally sucks T_T

[Proctra Music 335]

That was awesome! George is best brony . Definitely sounds like that manager got his arse handed to him!! Entertaining story!

[techno915 408]

When I first saw the title of this thread, I thought immediately of the YouTube video "It's to easy being a brony"

 

 

But now that I've read it all, I see that what you wrote is pretty cool. I already brohoofed your post, but here's another one just for you. /)

[Padlock-Keys 57]

I think the manager was just misunderstood was all, he didn't understand his son's obsession very well, and that happens sometimes with parents. Sometimes they think that kids are going through a 'faze' or something and brush it off for a while.

 

 

But that's not true, sometimes your really passionate about something, you really want to learn more about it, my parents support me and my dream to go to Japan 100%. I love that so much and I'm thankful 83.

 

Help me! I'm trying to rewrite this but I'm stuck, I wanna make it so much better but I need help getting started... I really need help, I need like a beta-reader or something. T_T

 

IMPROVED VERSION:

 

 

There are a lot of reasons why people hide who they really are. All you do to surpass this grudging feeling in your gut, is you wake up in the morning, go to school in the morning through midday, then at night you go to bed, then you repeat. I’ve become a phantom of a rather boring cycle that happens every day of lather, rinse, and repeat.

 

I’ve tried this.

 

I've failed.

 

That’s right; I’ve failed the norm cycle, thanks to My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. I am a brony. I wouldn’t like to say I’m a proud one, because case in point; everyone has a reason to hide who they really are. They all do it. So do I occasionally. The thing is though, I felt as though the pony fandom has been able to let me open up and see a new light. The forums, the sites, the fan animations, MAN what can I do to help?

 

Oh yeah, just piss and moan and wait for season three or wish that I was at the next bronycon that’s practically miles away from where I live.

 

So I’ve tried drawing, I’ve tried animation with puppet-rigs, I’ve writing fan-fiction, I’ve tried everything. It seems as though that there’s nothing that I’m good at that can help contribute to this awesome fandom. I’m useless?

 

Well, around a week ago or so, my mom put a newspaper on top of a porno mag that I was reading, damn woman can’t you see that I was reading that- (yes I still read porn and I’m a brony. I’m still sane after reading cupcakes.) She said “Look for a job.” Then, she left closing the door slowly behind her.

 

I ignored it of course. I didn’t pay much attention to it. I brushed it off and continued looking at the hot naked girls; then I went online, looking at forum sites, how pathetic?

Thursday, Gym Class, a fellow Brony was beaten up today.

 

It was pretty bad, he was sent to the nurse too, they called his mom, I heard he got a broken nose and was sent to the doctor and has to take medication now. Though these are just rumors, everyone spreads rumors around my school. My school as a tendency for GOSSPING, oh they LOVE IT. It’s just as bad as election years and the shit that politicians throw at each other, seriously their no better than monkeys throwing poop at each other.

 

So I was in the hallway right? I passed by these two guys who were eyeballing someone with an my little pony: friendship is magic t-shirt, it had a neon Rainbow Dash and it looked pretty sweet. I thought they were going to make a comment on how awesome it was, though instead… moments later…

 

Yup, I knew it, I knew it.

 

“We’re a proud people, we don’t care what shit haters throw at us!” The brony was being pinned against a locker and two guys were pounding on him pretty hard. Damn.

 

As I leaned against the lockers and take a tiny peep at the fight that going on, I silenced my cellphone to make sure that no one would hear my embarrassing ringtone. That would ruin everything.

I'm still working on the rest! The rest will probably be posted here and my DeviantART when I finish!

Its is perfectly fine to be a brony and this OP is just well plain awesome! If that had happened in real life that would be so funny... no one can escape the herd.

Thanks! I'm trying to look for people who might be interested in drawing this out, or maybe animating it, I think it would look good as a comic kinda like My Little Dashie but I'm not expecting a whole lot. Just if someone is interested they can draw it~
