What exactly do I do here?

My Favourite Mane 6 Pony: Pinkie Pie

How did you find MLP Forums?: Was just looking for posts on the internet about Stellar Eclipse, the OC in the most recent episode (Trade Ya), because I wanted to share with somebody other than friends about how happy I am for Sylvain and how he got to be a part of the show, as I've known him personally for months. Found a post on the forums about it and made an account just to comment.


How you became a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: One day, in the summer of 2011, I downloaded an app for my iPod called LOL PICS. The name is pretty self explanatory as far as app function. Some of the pictures in it were rage comics, which I always found to be some of the funniest things in the app. So I decided to see where they came from, and found myself on memebase.

After scrolling through rage comics for hours, a decided to see what else the site had. So I browsed through pokémon memes and the like. After a while, and looking through the categories again, I saw the My Little Brony category. At which point, I didn't read the Brony part correctly and thought it just said Pony. Not too much of a difference, really. So I though, why is there a my little pony section? Curious, I clicked on it. Some of it, without knowing the show, was still rather funny, but I figured others that I didnt understand were making references that only someone who watched it would get. So I though, who is watching this? Only then did I look back up and read Brony correctly. Didnt know what that meant, so, like any unfamiliar internet term, I looked it up on urban dictionary. The definition was short and undetailed, but got the point across. So I looked up information on the fan base in general, which brought me to the KnowYourMeme video. After finally getting a full explanation, that period of "why the hell are teenage and grown men watching this?" Lasted all but 15 seconds. I decided to watch it myself, as being not one to judge and someone who likes cartoons. I immediately fell in love with the show and spent the weekend in my room watching the entire first season, which was all that was out at the time. However, I kinda hid it from everybody until winter 2012. Now ive got 8 shirts, a Lyra figure, 2 pins, a derpy wallet, 2 facebook pages, and and a hotel reservation for bronycon this august! Also, I'm kinda hopelessly in love with pinkie now. Like, the spike to rarity kind.

hope I typed everything correctly, my phone can be a pain in the flank to use sometimes.

Oh yes, back to the original topic: what exactly do I do here? As stated above, I initially only made the account to comment on that post about Stellar. I figured I might as well use this for more than that, but im a little confused as to what exactly I do with this account, and what half of the things here are. I don't really make fanwork, mostly due to lack of talent (cant make music, I literally cant draw a straight line longer than an inch or so without it becoming a squiggle, let alone create an entire work of art, yes I know what literally means, and I mean it how I said it, and while comments from past teachers lead me to believe I may have enough creative writing talent to make a fic, im pretty terrible at capturing pre-existing character personalities in my own words. Thats also why I dont RP. plus, I just feel really awkward doing so....oh, im starting to rant again. moving on!) Overall, all I can do is create OCs (but cant draw them) with nowhere to use them, and talk about stuff. How do I implement that here?

Welcome :)

 

Plenty to do here, if you like talking to people about things and such. Or you can lurk Octavia's hall to see whatever cool art our members are coming up with.

 

The RP section has a character database where you can make OCs. No need to actually use them in an RP, but if you ever actually want to, everything you need is right there. You could just make slews of characters for fun, or even let other people RP as them.

 

Anyway, there's no lack of things to do here, it just depends on what you want to do :P


Signature now 99% less edgy!

Alright, I've got 2 questions:

1: how are you doing those emoticons?

2: what are those... personal.... rectangular... image things I see at the bottom of some people's posts?

1. By typing the shortcuts or opening the emoticon bar and clicking which one you want.

 

2. Signatures, you can set one on your profile once you're a muffin.

The emoticons has a list if you are on computer on the more options button when you post.

and you can just use normal emoticons like this :) or :o

and those are signatures, you can edit those under your profile options!

And welcome!!!

..."once you're a muffin". Alright, I understand what that means, but I cant stop laughing at how ridiculous of a statement that sounds out of context.

Wow that is a gigantic muffin considering I'm just a tiny Breezie Derpy.
