@Nightmare Moon

You look absolutely lovely. Yes!
Pinkie can feel the pain you may be going through, but all will become better, Pinkie is sure of it!

We all have our dark side! We can control it or not, it's our choice. Yes!

@Pinkamena Diane Pie
Did you take that pony personality test? I think I found your results.

@Ric
I have not played SC2 in a while now, I might play some later today.

Can someone post me a link to the personality test? I haven't played it yet…

Pony Personality Test

PINKIE IS NOT DOING SUCH THINGS! THEY WILL SURELY KNOW OF PINKIE'S INTENTIONS! YES!
ALSO:

I did that a while ago.

Surprisingly, I was mostly a Fluttershy.

I was sad.

My new avatar makes me want to hug Pinkie…

Or Pinkie will have you head!

Thanks ivan, ill let you guy's know what results i get.

I just got my results and wierdly enough I'm….Applejack….This…Can't be right.

Okay i think i'm gonna take the test again.

For those interested, here were my results:

Pretty accurate if I may say so myself.

I retook the personality test, and now I am a Fluttershy.

After taking the test up again and being a bit more truthful it turns out I'm some sort of rainbow dash and a cross of rarity. But mostly rainbow dash.

Still….this doesn't seem like me….Better take it one last time.

I took it again and…well….umm..i got rarity….I mean i can be a bit narrcicistic and Fashionable at some points but i feel like I'm more a fluttershy/pinkie pie….

I did it. I don't hate the results.

That seems about right.

Well, I did the test and got this

Kind of surprised, actually.

Haha i took the test again because of how bored i am waiting for BF3 to install:

I'm still alot like fluttershy but i'm also like applejack a bit
And i'm surprised i not also like pinkie

It seems accurate enough, though I think I'm less like Applejack and more like Twilight.

Post ALL the test results!

This seems fairly accurate. I love learning new things and I even admit I'm a bit flamboyant.

Oh? Did you hear that? I heard it's random picture time.

I'm actually a very nice person, just not as nice as Fluttershy I guess.

I toke the test a LOOONG while ago, I am not taking again because it is to damn long IMO, lol.

So have a Bubble buddy!

just found out this site is back online (probably not really news but it was off for a while)

When you see it…

SynchTubez tiem. Click the link for ponies and stuff.

Oh my god!!

Look at those clouds!! Top-Right.

Those are some awesome clouds.

Holy shit.

Yikes.

I realize I'm a little late to the party here, but I wanted to say that image is… stirring, to say the least. It rather pains me to see my Night Princess like that. It also really makes me think of how, in the context of the story, emotions have so much impact on reality. For us, feelings like bitterness or anger are often subtle and hidden, and only at times are they expressed in word and action. But what if they were able to change your very physiology? It kinda makes one think.
Luna's story is certainly a tragic one to me…

@Verbose

Sad but true, isn't it?

Hay there, I wrote a blog post about the different kinds of bronies. You should read it.

I just got done reading your blog post and it reminds me a lot of what my brother said to be about 1 month ago when he was lecturing me about the different types of bronies.

I just
why.
No other words.
Just "why".

@Cite
Yeah, I saw that too.

I do know who could possibly want one.

I mean, really.

REALLY.

Trust me….there are people who want that. Possibly even outside Cons….

There was a Pinkie Pie version some where in the image section of the MLP entry.

Out of all the attempts I've seen at classifying teh Bronies, I'd say this is the best. Well done!

I think I'd define myself as a Casual/Forum Brony, and artistic once my fic goes up, which will be whenever I finish.

So, in the SynchTube chat earlier, some of you were saying that Friendship is Magic isn't doing as well as Hasbro had hoped for their MLP toy line. There may be sources to that, but I have only seen good reports for MLP myself. On page 100 of this very thread, in fact, you'll find this:

OH! OH! SOMETHING THAT IS RELEVANT TO MY FIELD OF STUDY!

Allow a business major to explain.

ahem

Basically, Hasbro was on course to make money this year but decided with the economy in a recession to cut back on over 100 employees.

Of course, firing people requires severance payments and these payments totalled over 11 million dollars. If it still had those 11 million, they would have made over 8 million in profit for the first quarter, which would still be down from 12 million the year before in the same quarter but still a profit.

And with GI Joe, Spiderman, Battleship and the Avengers coming out this year, Habsro will be rolling in the dosh and investors know this. Since the shares dropped on Monday, they’ve almost regained their value and it’s still the middle of the week! Good news overall.

There is some bad news though, Boys section sales were up but girl’s sales were down. I don’t know what other Girl’s brands Hasbro has but it doesn’t seem to be doing well.

PONEIS ARE TEH D00MED THE END IS NIGH SEASON 3 IS THE LAST SEASON, HASBRO IS PULLING THE PLUG! WE DIDN’T BUY ENOUGH PINK CELESTIAS!

WAIT! WHAT’S THIS, BURNING_PHONEIX TRUDGED THROUGH THE HASBRO Q1 FINANCIAL SHEET FOR US LIKE THE SUPER HERO HE IS? WHAT DID HE BRING BACK?

(Reading financial reports is easy guys, it’s made for investors so it’s not full of jargon and quite short)

Girl’s sales were indeed down a whopping -18%! But it’s not due to MLP. Here’s the skinny from the official report:

In the Girls category, MY LITTLE PONY, which is now backed by television entertainment globally, posted growth in the quarter.

In addition, with the huge success of the rating of season 2 finale along with every show on the Hub doing well, we can rest assured that MLP has a strong chance of getting a Season 4.

I was also directed to an article clear from February 2011, which had this little snippet:

Sales for its girls division, which sells Littlest Pet Shop and My Little Pony, was a bright spot. Sales rose 10% for the fourth quarter.

Too long ago? How about last October:

*He wouldn't comment on whether the channel could break even next year, but he highlighted it is making "great progress."

Management cited higher My Little Pony toy sales in the U.S., Canada and more recently the U.K. after the launch of Hasbro TV programming in those markets. Goldner said the trends show "the Importance of television to driving our brands in the international markets."

And last November, from the very beginning of the article:

Looks like a lot of kids -- OK, their parents -- are snapping up the toys and games represented on shows such as Transformers Prime, Clue, and My Little Pony that they see on The Hub. Hasbro COO David D. R. Hargreaves says these sales are soaring even though initial ratings following the channel’s October 2010 launch were at “the lower end of our expectations.”

TL;DR Overall, it looks like the Hub and Hasbro have had their ups and downs, but MLP has been their strong point, both on ratings (as we know from the success of the season finale) and on toy sales. I can't imagine why they wouldn't keep it going, to be honest.


Am I boring you? Fine, have some random Zebra voodoo.

>2012
>still being suprised by stupid items of clothing
Don't you remember these stupid fads?


Between the spirtcaps or hoodies that zip up all the way, that hoodie doesn't suprise me at all. It's really ugly though, and I'd imagine that unlike the models, the people wearing them will be guys. God help us all…

GOOD EVENING GENTLEMEN.

(Inb4 Pyro/Verbose/and Nightmare Moon ofcourse).

DUDE LOL

So, I'm binging on pony confessions tumblr, and I'm loving it, though some of them are really creepy.

Best Cinco De Mayo.
I'm having a party of my house spamming music and apparently gunshots.
The music went from

to this

We literally had extremely loud speakers. Y'all could have heard us a couple of blocks away. We went fast paced songs to actual soft songs for couples. I danced and preformed with a few other people Livin la vida loca. Danced with a few chicas and had drunken fights.
Only thing is, Pinkie wasn't there to make it funner.

Yeah, well, I assume the majority of you aren't on Tumblr, so consider yourself lucky. Their stupidity knows no bounds.

Because we live in a shitty, superficial, image-obsessed world, and no area of our life is safe from the cult of normative ‘beauty’, not even our kids’ toys. Why the need to sex up My Little Pony, fer Christ’s sake?!? The one on the left at least bears some passing resemblance to the vague shape of a real frickin’ pony. The one on the right looks like fucking Paris Hilton.

Oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god OH MY GOD.

I CANNOT EVEN.

>2012

>Paris Hilton

I don't even hope you don't do this, I hope you do and die in a car wreck, because you are so idiotic and overly offended, you deserve to be removed from the fucking gene pool.

I was playing TF2 with my brother for… since noon.

My brain is scrambled, so have some diabetes:

I did that personality test forever ago. I got a bit of Rarity and Fluttershy, medium for RD, AJ, and Twilight, and full Pinkie.

I think it's bullshit, because I'm not super extroverted, energetic, or talkative. I can be all of those, but only a quarter of the time. Otherwise I'm an introverted mute.

Probably not the most foolproof test…

Y'ALL BETTER STOP RUINING APPLEJACK FOR ME Don't get your jimmies in a bunch over a silly little pony hater. Ignore them, and the internet will be a better place.

@Teh Brawler
Interesting. Sort of reminds me of this really informative one someone did way back based off of results from the Brony Study.

Bored, so I did the Pony Personality Test again:

And to make sure it was accurate, I did it once more.

Looks like I'm still a Pinkie Pie then. And my Rarity and Applejackness went up by a lot for some reason.

I'm not a fan of anthro humanized, but OH MAH GOD THIS IS CUTE.

Ooh, haven't done one of these multi-faceted posts in a while.

@Twins: It's more humanized than anthro. Granted, I'm not an expert in the field, but it is what it is.

@Fridge Logic:

Tumblr is basically the place for easily offended hippies to gather

Well, crap. Now I just feel outdone.

Ah the Pony Personality Test

I remember that. It was mentioned here first and this was my result:

^This result might be a bit outdated though, it dates back to way back when opspe posted regularly.

And lets not forget the huge list of data I made

And the one opspe made

I wonder if I should update the table of results for new members

REMINDER: TONIGHT IS THE LARGEST MOON OF THE YEAR!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-17972804

A so-called "supermoon" is lighting up the sky in many parts of the world.

The full moon appears up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than at other times, because it's at its closest point to Earth in its elliptical orbit.

It will bring unusually high tides, due to its increased gravitational pull.
