Ahh, nice to see you're back, Popper. I am the Dark Knight. Zarathh had to be somewhere as of right now, so I'm taking his spot for today. He has told me a lot about you. He also said something about giving you this. Also, the picture below is unrelated to anything at all.
Pretty sure it's related to Dead Space, which SHIELD has absolutely no knowledge of, so don't ask.

O.o Popper, we hardly knew thee. (Thanks for reminding me what a badass piece of music that is by the way)
@Dac
Never underestimate a fanatic's ability to overreact.
True, but most bronies won't care much, and even if they do, they aren't a huge source of income to deadmau5. Those would be the ravers going to the music festivals. I can't see this really affecting him at all. By the way, electric daisy in las Vegas was amazing. 300,000 people, Mollys, alcohol, pot, and music, what more can you ask for.
Well, Popperfett, now that you're back I can ask a question that's been bugging me.
Why do you like Chrysalis so much?
Now I'm not referring to liking her as a character, villain characters are always fun and she's my "best pony" as of now. However, why do you like like her? I mean, she behaves like a megalomaniacal sociopath in her entire canonical appearance, leading me to believe any relationship with her would be like this:
If you don't want to answer that's fine, my waifu is Trixie- and I can't properly defend why that's the case. Seeing as how she's also canonically horrible. So I understand.
@Windigo But Chrysallis isn't a pony…

Well, I agree with you, Phoneix.
Sounds perfect to me.
Loners of the world, unite!
..wait a sec.
@Dac
That ain't a fail. This is a fail:
He wasn't doing anything smart to begin with.
Hey welcome back Popperfett, check your wall for your present.

Wow I have mixed emotions about that, but I know that is one puzzle that I do not want to solve.

I can't seem to find a image of Superman with ponies, only Batman. I guess that is one thing that he does better then me, all I get are G3 ponies.

I feel the same way about Trixie and Chrysalis, and am likewise confounded by it. I'm curious to hear other's input on the subject.
Also, an ask-blog went with my question! I got excited for, like, two seconds, but unfortunately, it's just another update about how the blog never updates. Now I has a sad again. SOMEONE (not me, someone with talent) DRAW STONED TRIXIE FANART SO MAYBE SHE WILL SEE FIT TO GRACE US WITH HER GREAT AND POWERFUL TOKED UP PRESENCE YET AGAIN.
And welcome back Popper Fett!

Hmm, I thought there were a lot of fans of electronic music on here, y u no like edc? The had a shit load of amazing talent. I guess it's 3 nights of depravity, drugs and alcohol, and little sleep, but it's only once a year. Anyways, the hard style was killer. Shuffled until my legs were jelly.
For anyone who hasn't seen this
This is the reason why I like Vinyl Scratch.
@Dac
Why is it that there's so many electronica fans amongst my little pony fans anyway?
@Fifths
Someone needs to make a shirt saying "Wub a dub dub mothafuckas" or something similar now.
@Survivor
I saw your post; I honestly saw no problem with that post that you made a while ago. It was funny and light hearted; there was nothing wrong with it. You should not regret posting that, we all make mistakes but I understand you have your reasons for asking for deletion of that post. I feel sympathetic that you feel the need to delete that post, so have a hug.
I hope you will feel better later.
Why is it that there’s so many electronica fans amongst my little pony fans anyway
Why are there so many white bronies out there? Why are they often male? Why are they often unaffiliated with a faith?
I think bronies are similar to those in web culture on the whole. Your question is likely one of guys who frequent online forums for TF2, 4chan, Know Your Meme, Equestria Daily, and other geeky online communities.
I am of the opinion that social situations can change a person's tastes. I think many people in Web culture, for various reasons, have come to shun mainstream culture and as such, its music (e.g., rap, pop, mainstream rock, country, anything you can hear on the radio.) If they feel as if they cannot fit in, then they will not bother trying. As such, they find music of subcultures, and I think some other structural factors (along with an inclination to be involved with computer-based…well, anything…) make electronica an easy choice for many people heavily involved with Web culture (but most certainly nothing mainstream.)
After a while, you get to like it, because it's what you have available to you within your culture. To be honest, you don't make friends on differences. You make them and maintain them based upon similarities. Even if they are manufactured, they are no less real.
@Stark
There are plenty of bronies of faith, but talking about it much online gets you flak, so we often don't.
Pic totally unrelated.
@Eye Beam Hulk
Well said.
Hey guys, you may recall DeadParrot222 talking about his fic, Tiny Wings, which he got on Equestria daily (I don't know how you could not, he never shuts up about it :P)
Well I read it, and it was pretty damn good. Got me close to shedding a tear, which for a emotionless husk like myself is no small feat. Seriously, it's a good story, Read it here
…But not before you listen to my musical tribute to it!
Enjoy.
@Stark
Quite. I suppose that all makes sense, but I'm not quite sure how appropriate a label like counter-culture is. I mean, maybe it's because I'm immersed balls deep in the internet culture, but it seems to be overtaking the mainstream, or at least becoming competitive with it. Case and point, Justin Bieber's "Baby" video has twice as many dislikes as likes.
What does something which is dedicated to opposing the mainstream do when it becomes the mainstream?
@Hulk
The fact that the religious can expect to catch flak suggests they are minority, though not neccesarily a huge one.

While you make some valid points, I don't believe they factor in quite that much. I believe it's more of a term of availability. I'm into a lot of electronic music, but I like some other genres equally, if not more. But at this day and age, pretty much anyone can get their hands on software for music creation. There's a LOT of electronic music from independent artists out there, and the easiest way to share your music is online. We internet folk hang out in the "online" a lot, so we run into a lot of it. With all the subgenres of electronic, we're more than likely to find at least one we like. People who listen only to popular music, however, don't have as many choices. Pop music typically consists of only one or two subgenres that rotate as people grow tired of them. That's why there are so many people who bitch about how "old music was so much better" even though the same shit has always been, and always will be available. Mainstream electronic now consists almost entirely of brostep, whereas some time in the past, dubstep wasn't even heard of and everyone into popular electronic listened to stuff like trance or house or whatever.
LOL, is it day two of Spirit Week already?

Hey, guys, Muffinator here.
I just wished to tell you all that I have had a change of heart, realizing Celestia is obviously best pony. I am also now gay for Explosive Lasers, who is sexiest, awesomest, all-around best brony.
I am Muffinator.
Hi guys:
Chrysalis will be mine! All Mine! BWAHAHAHAHA

No I am not mad, I am asking you to vacate this thread immediately and for you to please stop being a dick.
Relax guys, I got this.
Alright my imposter, let's be gentlemen.
First, ask that he vacate. If he does not, then we'll pull out the big guns, deal?

@le imposter
I've dealt with imposters before…
Alright, I know its Spirit Day Two, and normally I would deal with you rather calmly…
Hey guys, its your friendly neigh-borhood (see what I did there?) Explosive Lasers.
I just wanted to tell you I realized how much Celestia sucked and I how big of a fool I was. I now realize that Twilight is indeed the best pony, and the only one close to second would be Rarity.
So, in honor of my new Twilight overlord:

Do you have nothing better to do? Let me name a list of stuff you could be doing right now instead of this pathetic attempt at trolling.
#1: Go outside
#2: Go get a girlfriend
#3: Go play a video game
#4: Get something to eat
#5: Stop wasting your life on your computer being a fucking moron.
@Fifths
I feel that I must hug you.
I'm not sure if I will ever let go.
