Vy'drach Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 Congrats Deploy how do you like the series so far? And now to a serious note on my part. My fellow bronies I have a slight problem that relates to MLPFiM I've recently been watching this show/talking about it looking things up on it etc. kinda secretly not wanting many people to know and only discussing about the show with either my trusted friend or on here...basically what I'm trying to say is I've been trying to keep my liking of MLPFiM a secret. Is it normal to feel this way? I've also been thinking lately though maybe I shouldn't keep it a secret and should let others know, mainly I wish to let my father know but I'm not sure what they or he will say about it. So I ask you my fellow friends of SFO and fellow bronies....what do I do? Do I continue to keep it a secret from almost all the people I know or should I let others know I like MLP? Your help would be greatly apprieciated. It's not uncommon to be a "closet brony" like that, but I wouldn't suggest it as that kind of living in fear isn't very healthy.

Xortberg Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Yeah. You don't have to go around advertising it, but don't be worried about not letting other people find out. Anyone who does is another potential brony, after all :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm personally gonna reveal my fandom of this series in my new review show in an upcoming episode. Probably after I move to California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vy'drach Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 Well, got done with my Pinkie Pie Minecraft portrait. And by "got done" I mean "hit the height limit," as the game will not let me put any more blocks down above that. Here's all the ponies I've done so far. Rainbow Dash wasn't designed by me, someone else did it, I just copied the block placement, as it was perfect. Best I could get with the limited colours in Minecraft. Didn't turn out all that bad. I'm rather proud of the Rarity one, Here's the Pinkie Pie one. See what I mean about height limit? Still to come, Apple Jack, Twilight, Trixie, Derpy, and maybe Spike and Luna.

LoneWolf Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Alright, now, I've seen the pony craze, and I have a few brony friends, but I still don't get what all the hype is about. I mean, admittedly the animation is good, but with the limited amount I watched, the voices annoyed the crap out of me, and the story seemed... well, not on par with the 90's, as some people said it was. Another thing, what is this with waving your brony-ness in people's faces? Is it just to get attention? I mean, really, furries do this sort of thing too, but I don't see nearly as much furry material IRL as I do pony material. It's just...well, I don't get it. Somebody please explain to me what makes this show so amazing. Also, @ My Little Pony: Alchohol is Magic parties: WhatisthisIdon'teven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xortberg Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Yeah, there's a debate topic for this kind of stuff you know. This is the "Woohoo ponies!" topic. Go to the debate topic for this. Another thing, what is this with waving your brony-ness in people's faces? Is it just to get attention? I mean, really, furries do this sort of thing too, but I don't see nearly as much furry material IRL as I do pony material. It's just...well, I don't get it. Very few people I see around here or anywhere really wave their bronyism in people's faces. I see pony avatars and that's about it. No worse than any fan of any show. Unless you can provide specific examples of people doing worse, and prove that it's a norm for the fandom, I'm gonna have to say this point falls flat. But of course, take that to the debate topic :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody please explain to me what makes this show so amazing. Also, @ My Little Pony: Alchohol is Magic parties: WhatisthisIdon'teven As far as what makes it an amazing show, that varies from person to person. Some people like it for the animation, the characters, the setting, the story, the "plot" (Lawl, couldn't resist saying that), and probably other reasons along with those. But something that I've seen most fans of the show say, is that there's also another element (of harmony, lawl) altogether that the show is inexplicably awesome. They just like the show, and they can't really explain it. The main reason they like it? They just do. And no one here is trying to get people to like it "or else." Just want them to give the show its fair shot before dismissing it is all, because there's a pretty decent chance they may like it. Also the fandom is awesome. I don't think I've seen a fandom that takes a character that's not liked, and supposed to be not liked, and makes them likable. Only character I haven't seen someone do that for is Gilda the Gryphon, as she's too far gone for most people, but I've still seen attempts. I've likened this show to the second coming of Christ, and I stand by that. It's created a massive group of people that are far more loving and tolerant of others than they would be normally. It is near impossible to troll bronies, because they are relatively unaffected. I've seen the prior happen more than a few times. I was in TF2 once on one of the brony servers, and a guy was trying to troll. I wanted to see what would win out, because on one hoof they were bronies, but on the other, they were FPS gamers, who have the ability to fly off the handle rather easier, but the brony side one. We had a good laugh about his trolling attempts, and when he said he was recording it and was going to upload it on youtube, I tried to get him to tell me what he was going to call it, because if he really was going to do a video, I wanted to see the video and read the comments. I honestly did, and was saddened he wouldn't share the info, and he eventually left. Granted the entire time people were trying to kick him, but that's because the brony servers are almost always full, and since he wasn't actually playing and we had bronies waiting for someone to leave, well, Anyway, there's also a good return investment in the fandom as well, since a few things have happened thanks to the fans. One, Derpy Hooves lives, and is officially accepted by the creators. Episode one, derp eyed pony, whether on purpose or accidental, though I tend to believe intentional. 2-15, normal eyed Derpy Hooves, but people still loved the character and did a "Where's Waldo Derpy" type thing. Then in episode 16, derpy eyes return, more prominent than ever, because the fans wanted it. Also, "Bronies" is an official term now, and the character "Vinyl Scratch" is officially called DJ P0N-3 as her stage name, now. Both of which can be seen in this video, If you don't want to watch the whole thing, however, bronies are mentioned at 0:27 with the line, "Our bronies, hang out too, 'cause they know we're awesome fillies." And DJ P0N-3 is mentioned at 1:20 with the line, "Break it down, DJ P0N-3," then it cuts to a shot of Vinyl Scratch. As far as putting it in people's faces, I haven't seen much of that except avatars and shoutbox discussions, unless you mean me coming into the SFO TF2 server with pony sprays, which is caused by me playing on the "Legion of Ponies" servers 90% of the time, well, mostly caused by that. The other reason is, well, lemme put it to ya like this, Yep, I was kinda trollin'. Like that Cave Johnson pony spray, picked especially for DZ, as the last spray I saw him have was the Cave Johnson one. Also, special for Milky, as I've been meaning to post this, as I can't see it without thinking of his avatar, and vice versa. Also, danke on the compliments to my minecraft art. I also have zero trouble finding where my house is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICantLose74 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 First thing first I'd like to thank the community of SFO/myfriends/fellow bronies for helping me answer my question much much thanks are given. *brohoof* Second thing: I agree with Vydrach whe he says: "But something that I've seen most fans of the show say, is that there's also another element (of harmony, lawl) altogether that the show is inexplicably awesome. They just like the show, and they can't really explain it. The main reason they like it? They just do." I find this statement to be 100% true I mean when I first heard of MLPFiM I was hating the show and thought it wouldn't catch on I tried to resist it and badgered it constantly with my friend....finally I gave in and I decided to see what the hype was about as did my friend and I watched a total of perhaps 5 episodes and found myself hooked and I continued to watch the rest of the series and soon me and my friend had watched all the episodes, got wallpapers of the characters, listen to pony related music & watch pony related vids, etc. needless to say we are now officially bronies...I don't know how it happened that it turned someone who hates the show into a fan within only 5 episodes but it did this series title has it right in a way this show is magic.

Vy'drach Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 New TF2 Pony map. Download is in the video description. Also a Garry's Mod version. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bEn59oBzTM And I used this opportunity to take some pictures with the characters, and get a shot with the famous bill-board. Also, if anyone is curious, those goggles are Wonderbolt goggles, and my Scoot has Rainbow Dash's cutie mark on the back of his shirt, but none of the pictures show his back. And inside the blue spawn room. I'd show the red one, but it A, is less interesting, and B, has the picture where Fluttershy gets everyponys' attention by saying the N word a lot.

It had me smiling while I listened to it. As someone who despised rap with a passion, I actually enjoyed that. It reminded me of the old school type rap, the one I could actually enjoy. Also, Maros was the better rapper in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, visit mane6.com and have a look around. In the meantime... I love this picture. I want this to happen so badly. Someone needs to make this a full fledged anime.
