Well, it's getting late here, and I'm leaving tomorrow. I'll see if before I go I'll say some parting words.
But in case I don't, I'll get everything out here:

*Windigo- Send me any fics you make by PM. I may just get the chance to actually check my inbox.

*Joe- you know what I'll be expecting.

*Nightmare Moon- I still need a response; before I leave preferably. I'll definitely check my inbox before I go. And take care of her, alright?

*The rest of you- Keep it real. This Mandalorian's gonna miss you, and so, please be nice to each other. Again, if there's anything you want to tell me, or anything you want me to see, send it by PM or on my wall, and hopefully, I can see it sometime while I'm gone. Don't expect replies though, because I don't think I can do those.
When I come back, I'll work on Lunar Dawn part 3 (read it yet, Zarathh? Again, sorry for not reading the one you sent me).
So, here's a comic that I thought was freaking hilarious:

I'll be seeing you space bounty hunter!

May you return in one piece so I may rustle those R34 jimmies.
Really, really

Also, Queen Chrysallis shall accompany you, go get 'em tiger.

@Windigo:

Sorry Windigo, but we've seen that gif before :P

As for whether egg eaters are vegetarians, it's a blurry line that many in the vegetarian community are still debating. It's a very blurry line.

We can assume that Griffons and Diamond Dogs are omnivores right?
Is it not possible that the ponies made imitation ham in order to properly recreate Griffon or Diamond Dog cuisine? Much like regular sweet potato can be a replacement for kumera when making a dish from New Zealand?

Edit:
Regarding eggs, one can eat eggs and still be vegetarian. It's vegans that can't eat eggs or milk.


First, a joke. What do you call a horse that can eat a meals worth of fried eggs? My ass. Mahhahahah… ENOUGH!

Anyways, how exactly can ponies recreate something of which they have no knowledge of how it tastes? Assuming of course that they are strictly vegetarian. Also, why would they end up incorporating it into their cuisine? Thats explanation is way too far fetched. A better explanation is that it is beetroot. On to the eggs, regardless of what society considers to be a vegetarian diet for humans, when an animal eats animal protein on a regular basis( which we can assume because of the fact that rarity cooked up eggs for breakfast, and its probably used to make pastries) It is not a vegetarian( or Herbivore). I hate to sound like a broken record, but look at the egg eating snake. Its a carnivore yet eats only eggs. Lets face it, an egg is essentially a womb. If an animal were to regularly eat placentas, it would be considered an omnivore. I know, mammals will eat their placenta to protect from predators and stimulate milk production amongst other things, but the key word is regularly, because if a herbivore ate it more than once, it would surely die. I guess for now we can say that they are vegetarians by human standards, but they have the capacity to consume meat and are not herbivores.

Honestly, I think the main thing to come from this- for better or worse- will be references to the fandom in other forms of media. Brony South Park episode, brony Weird Al song, brony Dead Rising psychopath, brony CSI eipsode, et cetera, et cetera.

I'm still super duper excited to see the documentary though.

I just love how it's implied in the last panel that Rainbow is not only a winner, but also a WINRAR.
Very clever, Madmax.


I missed the party, dang. I happen to be a big fan of Derpy, so I'm pretty excited. It's cool to see her getting more attention in spite of the, shall we say, misgivings of some.

Alright, it's morning here, and I'm going to leave pretty soon. So, I'll get the last few things out:
@Lasers
Well, it doesn't affect my view of Celestia, at all. But what it was showing is something that can (and does) rustle my jimmies a bit. I could've been with any character, so the situation is what got me mad.
I probably shouldn't let it get to me that much, but I was already not in a fantastic mood.

@Dan
Yeah, she can. Just making sure though.

@X-singular
…now I get it with the WinRar. Thanks for pointing it out.

@El Sinker
So, you want me back safe, just so you can rustle my jimmies?
Alrighty then…
Oh, an err.. the queen. Travelling? With me?
…………………….


Anyway, I'll be gone, so, the derailing or the reactions to the rather-not-so-soft shipping stuff (I'm okay with it as long as it's not too suggestive) will be silent. Again, send me a PM or post on my wall, so I can at least read it when I get the chance. Other than that, I'll be completely offline while I'm gone, so take care!

I say we spam his wall and PM with shipping pictures.

There's no need to be so bashful. We all know the real reason why you give horrified reactions to just about every single image that could possibly rustle jimmies.

You just love having rustled jimmies…that is your fetish…

…isn't it Popper?

Welp, have fun on your journey. Good luck and take care


@Joe

Oh yes, and he will enjoy it ever so much. Muahahahaha

>Will they accept or deny?

Deny.

Definitely Deny.

To them, we're no different than furries. (Which is true to an extent.)

In fact according to them, we're worse than furries because we watch a little girl's show.

The media's going to do what they always do and make us look like freaks, regardless of the truthiness of the documentary.

…But who gives a damn what the public thinks anyway? The public is stupid.

I mean, what the hell? Our image gallery…sure, I may have gotten a little rustled with Joe's and Advance's shipping war (just because of the sheer spamming of it), but ships like that don't disturb me.
Nightmare Moon, if you thought Celestia was gonna get pissed at JJ for that Molestia post, she's gonna go beserk, REAL beserk, at what's there now.
There's a pic (two actually), that shows a disgruntled Celestia about to rape Twilight with numerous sex toys
SRSLY? I MEAN, F###ING REALLY?
That's the kind of s### that gets me pissed.

This made me feel better:

First off, I think people will still look down on us. Why you ask? Look no further than the star wars or star trek fandoms. Both are series loved by many, but people still look down on the overzealous fanboys. Even Raiders fans are looked down upon. Why are people gonna feel any different about groups of guys meeting up to discuss candy colored ponies? Hell, I can understand why society looks down on people overzealous about anything( sports included). Its just a little obsessive and odd I guess.
Anyways, about the doc. As a casual fan of the show, I have no interest at all to see it. Besides you guys, I don't really care about any other part of the fandom. Also, we are such a young fandom. Why do we need a documentary? Whatever I guess, I'm sure some people are excited to see it. Im not.

I was gonna pledge $10 to the documentary. I don't care enough to pledge half my money, but I would like to see this thing be as quality as possible, and think it'd be a really interesting thing to watch. I don't doubt that people will still look down on us or judge us, but they always will. With the documentary here, we can smack them in the face and call them ignorant.

It's not like I don't already have enough to get judged for, so I'm not gonna care that anybody still judges any of us. I'm going to support, buy, and watch (the holy fuck out of) the documentary. Not because it will make everybody stop judging us, but because it's a study on a culture, a community, a group, and something that's driven my life for the past year.

TL;DR: Screw the establishment, I have ponies.

You should care what the public thinks. You don't have to submit to mainstream norms, but they can't be ignored entirely without exposing yourself to systematic disadvantage and, sometimes, outright harm.

But yeah. Unless this is on par with what are considered the greatest documentaries ever, then this isn't going to change what the mainstream thinks about a fandom of men breaking some of the most well-established, most easily perpetuated, and most wide-ranging norms in Western society. If this documentary were able to do that, then we'd be at the precipice of a change in society much, much, MUCH bigger than making bronies look good.


Anyway, take a look at this site in the image link.

<img src="http://derpiboo.ru/thumbs/1309/633/4fc6bfd5945b702d5e000001" height="400" / >

If you use Ponibooru a lot like me, then you know that it is a notoriously slow site. Derpibooru has fewer images, but it also seems like it has a lot less of the meta posts, troll posts, and screenshots that Ponibooru has. It also is currently functional and runs quickly.

There is also Bronibooru, but that is specifically for the mlponies/ponygoons forum. They have that site for posting images to their forum and they wouldn't appreciate us sapping their bandwidth, but I figure it's fine for browsing. They also do not allow questionable posts, let alone explicit posts, so you don't have to worry about that, and they seem to have more posts than Derpibooru.

Down with the pony image monopoly! We need a true market for our ponu!

Can I put aside ponies for one sec and say this? NEW SKYRIM DLC IS COMING OUT!!!

And with that, I shall go back to ponies.

I shall also give you a new song by H8_Seed and The Wooden Toaster, himself!

I have been seeing an increasing amount of sexually suggestive images in the gallery. Does the amount of sexual images increase during the summer or has this trend just started up recently (this does not include the Lyra Plushie)? Is it because we are running out of original content and falling back on sexual images (because sex sells) to replace the lack of content?
I am not upset by this.

But being relatively new to the site I can't help but notice this trend.

See, this is what the world thinks of bronies. That damn plushie ruined everything. Now, people are just creeped out

It's the wait for season three IMHO.
I know the hiatus has driven me to trollfiction, and I assume it's driving other bronies to insanity as well.
Pic related.

Edit:
@Zarathh H8_Seed song
I dunno, I'm not really getting a "pony" vibe from that song. If it didn't have ponies in the video I'd probably assume it was a Megaman tribute. I think the "blood on the chrome" and the 8-bitish synth riff is what caused that… it's a good song anyway.

Surrounding that Lyra doll:

It's just a dumb plushie made by one person. Plus the person that's buying it and possible others that wanted it. Let's go with 10 bronies who actually want that thing for its intended purpose (a sexdoll). Maybe even 20, because we're just so outrageous.

With a brony community as big as it is now, I can confirm we're nothing worse than your average fandom.

Plus I'm suprised. You'd expect that plushie to get the same feedback as the Derpy incident. Only disgust towards its existence and never wanting to hear about it again. But after the first grossed out reactions, most people just lol at it. Now all the content made surrounding that thing is mostly funny and doesn't look at it like a sexdoll at all.

So overall:

@Fridge
Some random Escher quotes (the guy who drew the original waterfall thing, as well as other mindf##ks)

"I am always wandering around in enigmas."
"I play a tiresome game"
"We adore chaos because we love to produce order"
"Only those who attempt the absurd will achieve the impossible. I think it's in my basement… let me go upstairs and check."

That proves it- Escher is the humanized Discord. Hell, he even looks like him.

Well, gave the Lyra Plushie entry a clean-up. Looks a lot better now.

Feel free to give reactions or reviews.


@Dr. Gregory

It's funny, because I also busted you of uploading that type of content multiple times.

As for your question. It's a bit more now, but I doubt this will stay. We had small peaks of more questionable content numerous times before. It'll slow down again. Not to forget people tend to upload dupes, so some of those have probably been posted before. But as I can't really tell which ones, randomly removing them would be unfair.


@Pinkamena

@Joe

Please be aware of dupes and don't go too crazy. Post images because you want to contribute to the image gallery, not because you want to best someone in posting ships.

It was funny at first, but now people are getting annoyed.

Also tell this to Advance in case he doesn't read the thread.

Which one? There was the scandalous bikinis pic, the soft-core rule34 pic and the Lyra doll.
p.s. I did not randomly emblem pictures, you can find them in the image gallery.

Speaking of rule 34 check this out.

Surprise!!!! I would not post real rule 34 stuff here.
