The shipping thread's a pretty nice place. Oh, and Ric, if you don't wanna be Slendy's personal slave I'll take your position. I think I'm more obsessed with him than he is with "doing stuff" to you.

Ric, oh my god.

Have any one else notice that bronies tend to be a little more sexually active? I am not trying to say anything bad, all I noticed is that the majority in the shipping thread are bronies.

Any one else may know why though?
(I am hoping for some one smart to give a nice explanation so no one's jimmies are rustled).

(Karnage, you do remind me of Slendy/Gamzee at times, I swear, but not in any sexual way, just in that WTF/Random/Awesome way).

@Ric
Awesome to see you back officially, with your profile back to normal.
@Karnage
Welcome back, it is nice to see someone new on the thread (even if you are old to the site).

Unrelated:

I've noticed that too, yes. I don't think they've become more sexually active, though. I, for one, am only 15 and have never had any sexual relations before. But if you also take notice that the majority of the users on the forum (or that I've noticed) are bronies. They might just do it for the lols. That's what I do. But I can't speak for them. When I do post on that thread I don't post any sexual images, or black barred porn. I mainly post videos, or drawings of users on the site paired together. (mainly cause I dunno how to caption stuff) But like I said earlier, the majority that I've noticed on the forums are mostly bronies. But I can't speak for them if they are being more sexually active. That's my thought on the subject.

Goes well with the gif.
And thank you Tim (even though I barely know you, I am sure you are a cool guy though).

I don't really think that's the case, especially since there isn't really a similar fan community to compare with. If we're comparing an average brony to a typical web lurker, I'd venture to say that the latter consumes just as much (ahem) risque content as any brony. As far as cute "light" shipping, well, bronies like adorable stuff, so there you go.

I suck at keeping up in these threads. I didn't know there was a bokke/tsukomi discussion going on. And I barely noticed Karnage's return.I invite you to bed.

Who are you? Algernon mentioned me! I never knew you cared!… Mainly because I don't know you either. Damn I really do suck at threads. Oh well. Bye-Nee~*

Now that's just damn funny.

Please tell me they're not still pursuing this…

@Connor:

Apparently that original 'belly bros' thing was PR dropping the ball and saying something that Hasbro never planned to do or never wanted to.

But this is an accurate representation of my face in this moment:

I am so unrustled by this that I turned into a chunky black man.

Sigh…
Time to break out the chart:

There’s Muffinator, Explosive Lasers, Brownmane, Popperfett, Zarathh, Joe Amethyst, Millenial Dan, Windigo, Pinkamina, Tim the Enchanter, I Post Stuff, El Slinker, Ephemeral….

I was mentioned first. This makes me superior to everyone in that list. Now bow before my superiority!

@ Karnage

Welcome back to the insanity that is Pony General. I joined near the end of PG IV.

@ Connor

The Care Bear thing was false. You can find the article here

@Muffinator:

HE'S A BIG FAT PHONY!

HEY, EVERYBODY! THIS GUY IS A PHONY!

My knees aren't bending. I am not trembling in fear. Want me to go fetch ya some water? I can do that.

Hey, you guys, how often do we do the Synchtube stream with everyone?

Usually once a week. Usually sometime during the weekend. Usually Algie or Cite sets them up.

Speaking of synchtubes, what happened in the last one after I left? It sounded like something big/awesome happened.

Whatever it was, I missed it.

Also, I keep thinking of that "The Stars will Aid in her Escape" PMV, and whenever I do I cry on the inside.

Thank you Explosives. Now I can never consider myself a man again.

@Muffinator:

Not much. After Cutie Mark Chronicles, we switched to random pony stuff. The Anthalogy, Abridged Series, censor bleeps, things like that.

Edit: Yeah, that's the best PMV ever. Really emotional.

@Muffinator
We also established that Slinker thinks that Edward scissor hands is sexy. Contemplated why spoons are the perfect murder weapon and finished off with a good wtf moment.
Edit: Also Nick Furry is the best Avenger XD

Um…I was around during the original first threat…I feel old…

Oh, yeah, and everybody got me to watch Gorillaz.

This is the approximate exchange:

Zarathh has added Gorillaz – Clint Eastwood
Explosive: Oh, Clint Eastwood, I like him.
song starts
Explosive:…..
gorillas start to rise from the ground
Zarathh: Oh, this part is awesome.
Explosive: I'm beginning to think this isn't about Clint Eastwood…

So now I like that band. Weird.

Welcome back, fellow oldfag.

PAGE GET FOR KARNAGE AND OLDFAGGOTRY

That PMV always reminded me of some one loved for ever so, it was our song. But that person I was with is gone now…I still listen to the song, it brings me joy and yet sorrow to my heart.

Being here for six months doesn't make you an oldfag, just saying.

Alright, I've just realized something I think might be rather monumental: there's never been a female dragon depicted on the show. You could argue that the older ones from the first season were never assigned genders, but they seemed pretty masculine to me.

Discuss?

EDIT
@Muffinator

@Fridge
For some reason I think Crackle is a female dragon.

Possibly because of the unneeded eye lashes.

They're back in the kitchen

We can obviously see in the show that dragons are sentient beings with a culture of their own, but I'm going to go on a limb and say that they probably stay behind to incubate eggs or guard their horde or something amongst those lines.

In other news:

This is why I only read fics from Eq D.

@Muffinator fanfic thing

Now have a funny pony image:

@Fridge:

Spike was probably hanging out with the male teenage dragons because he's a boy. The dragons we saw flying could have had females in their ranks, we don't know. As it is, there have only been around six dragons (including Spike) depicted, so we can't say anything definite.

Relevant:

@Muffinator:

Um…

Yeah….

unshares every single Google Docs document

We should… Ignore that author… And not try to find out who he is…

Yeah…

Nah, that's a guy. More of a lone sight gag if anything.

@Muffinator

Well, I don't see how my perspective would be different from anyone else, nor do I think I am an accurate representation of the female brony population as a whole, but I suppose I'll contribute.

I, for one, view homosexual pairings much in the way of other pairings: it's fine if it makes sense, and revolves around the character's innner emotions and personality, rather than our own titillation and enjoyment. I see no reason to differentiate between heterosexual and homosexual relationships, whether in modern society, or MLP fanon. Now, yes, there is a certain social stigma attached to same-gender relationships, but in the end, it shouldn't matter.

Now, to be more specific on the pairings, I am a very, very light shipper. I do like friendshipping Applejack and Rarity, but I see it as more of a fanon and "fun" thing rather than "see all the subtext IT MUST BE SO." As for others, LyraXBonbon is almost, but not really canon, and makes a lot of sense, so why not? Female/female shipping is quite easy to do, because there are so many developed and interesting characters for the community to ship.

As for male/male shippings, there really aren't enough male characters to ship anyone. It just doesn't work. The only major male character in the show is Spike, and he really only belongs with another dragon (I see Rarity as only a passing crush, but maybe, just maybe). Other male characters are not nearly enough developed to accurately portray a relationship with another through their personalities. You could say Big Mac is to some extent, but even with him, we can't go deep enough into his emotions as other, mostly female characters. No male/male shipping works for me, not because it's wrong (why would you even think that), but because males can't be in a relationship that "revolves around the character's inner emotions and personality," to quote myself a while back, at least in the context of this show.

Perhaps my favourite shipping pair is Big MacXFluttershy. Now, I don't follow this at all, have never read any fanfics about them, and have only seen a bit of fanart, but from what I can tell, this pairing is wonderful. They're both superficially shy characters that hide their emotions and thoughts from others, but on the inside, just want to be loved and accepted. They're definitely among the most realistic and relatable ponies, especially when you think of how good of a job the writers did at developing them within the boundaries of a children's show.

Overall, the characters of My Little Pony are among the most memorable and lovable ones in the history of forever, and the writers do an amazing job at placing a piece of each and every one of us in the mane six.

And that's truly what I love about this show.

@Muffinator & Windigo
I'm going to need some…

@Twins

That actually could really make people mad at first but the ending made me laugh.

COME AND GET YOUR PONY MIND BLEACH WHILE IT'S STILL PURE!!

@Muffinator & Windigo

@Fridge:

Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara are really adorable.

Also, I read a redemption fic for Silver Spoon FOREVER ago, and it was pretty good. It also felt strangely… legit. Moving On

@Windigo:

I laughed. Hard.

That was perfect.

@Twins:

It's the job of the fandom and the bronies to develop characters themselves. It's why Lyra, Bon-Bon, Octavia, Vinyl Scratch, Derpy, Doctor Whooves, etc. have become so loved. They have absolutely no personality as the show has portrayed, but the fans have given them quirks, personalities, etc.

So, you can't really say that M/M shipping doesn't work because of lack of development, unless you're going by only what is canon, or what can be proven by the show. In which case, the only ship that would work is CadenceXShining Armor, and maybe Rarity and Spike. Other than that, there truly aren't any canon pairings, or ones that would be supported by the show.

Fan-fics, fan-art, etc. develops characters and gives them further definition so we can ship them. Any ship would be a perversion of their personalities, technically, since none of the characters besides Shining Armor and Cadence have shown truly romantic intent, much less acted on it. Big Mac and Blueblood have more personality confirmed than 75% (or so) of the characters used in shipping, so it's more 'canon' to use them with shipping than any background pony, including Derpy, Bon-Bon, and Lyra.

I get what you're saying, but it doesn't really add up too well from a logical standpoint if you consider that the fandom has given every character deep personality, or added onto what already existed.

Everyone during finals:

@Muffinator

@strange fics
clopfics…

Just seeing these wtf posts give me the shudders.

Now, I do believe this is overdue:

Welcome back Karnage. I happen to be one of those members who joined in your abscence. It's good to make your acquaintince.

Now… Lunar Dawn ain't gonna finish it self:

KANYE WITH TAVI!

EXCUSE ME FOR A SEC!

@Trollfic Discussion

No, I just said that I have a scar over my left eye. Then I said that my scar is sexy. Therefore:Scars are smexyness. And: I are smexyness. Also, you all left me alone in charge of the synchtube. It was pretty sweet at first, but then I went all Pinkamena like.

Please don't leave me alone again.

Pah. One day, when you're a nearly nonexistent lurker great and powerful like me, we'll discuss superiority.

oh god… clopfic…

Anyways…
watup with yall! Think i'm gonna stay a while. Might just end up lurkin' but I'll contribute. Nice to see all of you. here, have pony!

How ya doin'! Here, have other pony.

MOVEMENT! WHAT SORCERY TIS BE!

Yo, Karnage. You're back, good to see you, bro.

Also
@BSoD

I didn't leave, I've been lurking. The drama I caused was my way of having fun with you people.
I've been watching for quite a while.

Oh gosh, my heart exploded. Twice.

No seriously, this story sounds hilarious!
