My belief is that you can only see it if you believe it's there.

No thanks, I'd rather not think about how these ponies reproduce.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to cleanse my brain with fire…

@Screwball, Screwloose & Derpy

I just think Derpy is a clumsy mailmare (who may or may not be a mother).

When it comes to Screwloose, I just think she's a patient in a mental ward. She's not dangerous enough or anything to be locked up in a padded cell.

And then I like to think that Screwball isn't actually a real pony, but some result of Discord's return.

Screwloose: A professional dog breeder that took the phrase "be the client" too seriously.

Screwball: An innocent young mare that Discord whipped up as the mother of all jokes to mock Celestia's role in the creation of ponies. She still exists because Discord's arrogance never gave the draconequus time to terminate his practical joke.

Derpy: A determined, loving mother who, despite her disability, has flourished in her mail duties and has raised two beautiful daughters. She also decided it was a good idea to time-travel with some Brit-accented, chestnut-coated stallion who never tells anypony his name, hence why she is still relatively young even though one of her daughters is 18.

So… how come when I leave for a week to play Mass Effect and spend time with my other waifu Tali'Zorah you all start talking about Screwball?

I wasn't talking 'bout your waifu D:
Lyra and Bon-Bon were visiting me to I couldn't really take notice on some things around here.

Did you cry from the fact the ending is awful or the fact the ending is sad?
I cried from both.

Gigatoast

He's so fly, he's got two waifus.

I like the theory that Derpy is the Derpy we all know and love, Screwball is Discord's prank that was left behind and is still searching for her daddy, and that Screw Loose is Trixie after reading one too many Twixie fics.

needs more Pinkie you say ?

Due to lack of ponies have a nice dose of em !

To be honest, Bon Bon's three (or four?) voices have been so brief none of them have stuck in my mind. that much.

But if I had to choose I would say the "I didn't put those in my bag" from way back in season 1.

@Engie
Sorry Engie, but you should do a little research before you draw conclusions. Go to that video's youtube page and read the tags.

Giga gone be mad

I didn't cry at the end, my jaw hung limply open one finger hovering over my computer's reset button while wondering what I had done with my life…
Then I noticed there was a cameo from Buzz Aldrin, he's no voice actor but that was kinda cool.
Then I went back to grinding my teeth in disturbed anguish.

Speaking of which there's actually a Child's Play charity drive devoted to getting Bioware's attention in regards to changing the ending to something less… painful. It's raised over $26K in the past 24 hours, that's over a thousand bucks an hour. (I just tossed in $5 myself, mostly to say I did it)

That oughta turn some heads over at Bioware, if there's one thing we know they pay attention to, it's money.

But that's off topic, do you know what isn't off topic?

@badsitrep:
HA! That didn't happen in my playthrough because I was smooth enough to claim her for my own back in ME2! Better luck next time mandible face!

@Screwloose, Screwball and Derpy

Alright we seem to be in agreement then. Court adjourned (Smacks hammer)

@Giga

We were looking to see how long we could discuss Screwball before you noticed :)

@Engie

That video is half a year old and it is still trolling people! Haha. I lost count of all the butthurt haters and morons screaming "Fake & Gay" in the comment section.

I also notice it was uploaded by SgtScrubnoob…same guy who made the MLP entry here?

In other news, here's another one of those things about the show that leave you wondering:

How do ponies play Rock, Paper, Scissors?

I realize that I'm a bit late, but HOW THE HELL DID WE GET ON THE TOPIC OF PONY GENITALIA? When I find the guy that started this I'll…

Yes, ponies have genitalia. No, it's not depicted in the show because 1) IT'S FOR CHILDREN, and 2) IT'S STYLIZED. See the image there? Notice how Big Mac has visible hooves, while Applejack's hair somehow completely envelops her hooves? What's more, why do male ponies have angular snouts while females have only a tiny nub left of one? If you're arguing for realism, this is the wrong show to do it in.

They don't need to tuck away anything, because that's not what they look like in the real alternate universe world of Equestria. Think of MLP FiM as anime. And by that I mean as in the ponies on the show are stylized versions of ponies in real alternate universe life. Do people in anime look like real people at all? No. Do ponies in FiM look like real (talking anthropomorphic Equestrian) ponies at all? No.

I'm going to have to agree with Cite on this. I proclaim this discussion over (it was over and I restarted it didn't I).

Anyone else feel the need to read over every new post in this thread since you last posted?

I think the reason why the thread slowing down is hitting me particularly hard (and it really isn't) is because this is pretty much the only place where I partake in pony related activities. Y'all have synchtube, MSN, ponychan, /mlp/, whatever, so you can still get your daily dose of ponies somewhere else. Me, I hear everything here, and maybe Equestria Daily when I skim over it every day or so and leave in about 5 minutes because the entire site is dedicated to fanfics. That's why I'm so late in every discussion (among other things, like HAVING A LIFE HAHA yeah no T_T).

So, next episode. "Dragon Quest", so I heard. A great dragon migration? Teen dragons? Interesting. I can see the moral now.
"Dear Princess Celestia,
Today I learned that metal slimes are godly exp.
~Spike"

It's easy, Ponies play rock paper scissors by…..by….by….

HOW THE HELL DID WE GET ON THE TOPIC OF PONY GENITALIA?

I think Dac might have something to do with that. Why don't you ask him?*

But yea, we know cartoons don't need to add such details but nobody said our serious discussions actually had to be serious ;)

*Seriously, whenever Dac appears, prepare for…interesting…topics

Anyone else feel the need to read over every new post in this thread since you last posted?

I do. Sometimes I take it to the next level by going back through the older posts because they were just that awesome. Remember the time we filled an entire page with Party Hard gifs? Or the time we kept a TL;DR discussion running for two pages. How about that time we threw all our OC's into one image?

…memories.

So…about this new episode. I hear it contains dragons

I've been doing that ever since I joined the pony threads.

If the animators add a Dragon Quest (RPG) reference to the episode, I'll be so happy I might give away prizes or some shit in this thread.

Hay guys! ^^
I found Bob's OC pony!! :D

It's perfect for him, he even has a little sidekick too!

Tar Strong just shot up to my favourite voice actor lists.

Yea let's just say as soon as I drew a picture of Pinkie to my friend he kinda mocked me, and teased me saying "I can't be bad." So to prove it I had to do that. Why ? He's a longtime friend….who happens to hate mlp with every fiber in his being.
Was my intent to troll ? No, just to see reactions. Do I still act bad ? Lockpicking, stealing, pyro, and pickpocketing.

Will I post the Pinkie image I drew ? When I'm not procrastinating :D

Couldn't agree more. I suppose it was only a matter of time before some of the staff started really interacting with the fandom! Hm, I wonder what she'll do next.

I just think Tara works so much that when she finally gets downtime, she has no idea how to spend it and just ends up getting really bored.

That and Studio B isn't filming right now.

Y’all have synchtube, MSN, ponychan, /mlp/, whatever, so you can still get your daily dose of ponies somewhere else. Me, I hear everything here…

Why do you say "y'all?"
 
 
 
…
 
Oh, right. Thread.

You could always request to get on MSN. Cite is the man t…Oh.

Well, uh, I prefer the forum, because it organizes things a bit better and has more established rules. But you guys know that. I'm also at home for the week where I personally have more of a life…and play peacemaker…a lot.

Couldn’t agree more. I suppose it was only a matter of time before some of the staff started really interacting with the fandom! Hm, I wonder what she’ll do next.

She has no plans whatsoever at all.

It's about friggin' time somebody ponified Uncharted.

Now if someone would hurry up and ponify Metro 2033 or STALKER, my life would be complete.

Ponifying uncharted characters? Fuck that. Better put Daring Do everywhere

Oh my, Twilightlicious… Twilightlicious everywhere…

Cool.

We need a cutter pony. Now. QUICK SOMEONE FIND A CUTTER AND FLIN PONY!

This is my first time posting here, but I've learned something interesting over the past month.

I've hated bronies since the fad ever started. I always thought they were either trying to troll others or just trying to be plain annoying. My motto in life has always been to be loving and understanding of others (which is ironic up to this point,) and I didn't actually expect something as silly as a little girl's show to hold anything meaningful or worthwhile.

A good friend of mine finally got ticked off after I made a smart-ass joke about bronies, and he told me to get off my high horse (pun) and watch the first five episodes. He said he'd buy me some soda and snacks and I could watch it for myself. I finally agreed and thought I could prove him wrong that there is nothing great about the show. He left to go play some ME3 in the other room and would ocassionaly come in to see if I was still actually watching.

The first episode was awful, but I had to keep going to fulfill my end of the bargain. It wasn't until the 3rd episode that I actually laughed at something, which genuinely shocked me. And when my friend came into the room a while later, he laughed and said "Welcome to the herd!"

I laughed, and said: "Dude, I haven't said I actually like it yet."

He smirked, and pointed to the top of the player on his computer. I was on episode six of MLP:FiM.

So here I am, finishing up the first season of the show, and I've learned that anyone can overcome the oppressive "Masculinity" steroetype that men hold on to for no apparent reason, to find enjoyment out of something as simple as a little girl's show.

So yes, I was once a pony-hater, now a Brony.

Yo dawgs, i herd u liek Skyrim and My Little Pony:

As narrated by a brony.

Cite, get in here and relay your experiences. The two of you already have something in common.

Welcome to my world.

@OmniXVII

Thank you for this.

My own story:

The first time I ever heard about "bronies" was at the start of July 2011 (a few days after my B-day). The person I was talking to only mentioned that they were guys that liked My Little Pony. At this point, I didn't know about the TV show (or any MLP TV show), so I thought it was a bunch of strange guys playing with the dolls from the 80's. I thought "strange", then continued to live my life.

Later in that month, I was playing Terraria on a multiplayer server for the first time, and someone told me my dude looked a lot like Vinyl Scratch (I had blue hair and I was wearing goggles). I asked who that was, but he didn't respond. I looked it up later and found out. Once again, I pushed it aside. A few days later, I saw my first pony image macro (A "haters gonna hate" macro from the "Winter Wrap-Up" episode).

I didn't actually get interested until my first semester here, where I watched a TF2 song named "Sandviches". I shared it with a friend and he told me the song was actually from MLP. He then talked about how much he hated the show and all it's supporters. Instead of heeding this warning though, my curiosity started to get the better of me.

A few weeks later I found the KYM page. For the next couple of months I would be fighting the urge to watch the show. Eventually I decided to later watch it for "research" but I pushed it off because my workload was getting heavy.

I finally snapped on December 24, 2011. I was at home visiting for the holiday and I was in my room at my PC playing Metro. Later, my brother invaded my room like he always does, and he picked up a Game Informer magazine (it was quite a few months old) lying on my dresser. He happened to open the page to an article on the Fighting is Magic page, and he told me that he watched every single episode. I then discovered he was wearing an RD shirt.

Then I watched every single episode and didn't go to bed till then. And that's how Equestria was made.

Wait what.
I subscribe to GI. There has never been an article on Fighting is Magic.

My story, since everyone seems to be doing it:
Back in 2010, before there was ponies, I was browsing youtube for meme-related videos. I found "Rocketboom" and their "Know your meme" videos. I loved them. I found they had a website, so I went there after a while. I went there maily for the memes. When the term "Brony" came about on the site and MLP was in the trending bar most of the time, I thought nothing of it and continued to browse the memes. Around the time you guys started Pony General One, I had seen most of the memes I could. The only one I never looked at was the pony entry. I decided to at least see what all the comotion was about. I thought it was a cute little show, but wasn't immidietly hooked on it. I decided to get a KYM account around the end of August to at least comment a bit on memes. But, at the back of my mind, Nightmare Moon and her story kept nagging me to continue with the series. I watched more and more, until I was at "Luna Eclipsed". That episode spoke to me so much, and then I realized why Bronies do what they do. That's the day I realized I was a Brony all along, and was just waiting for the right thing to trigger the thought. I began to get more involved in the fandom, first on Youtube, then DA, then KYM. I came across Connor one day in the article's comments section, and you all know the rest.

It wasn't an article really, it was a short mention. It was in one of the news things (my subscription expired a while ago, I don't remember what they're called).

It also could have been a different game magazine. I believe it had Deus Ex: Human Revolution on the cover though. Maybe not, I don't remember.

Edit: Nevermind, it was Gamepro, the not so good game magazine.

I remember when I started out getting into this fandom…it was torture considering I accidentally slipped out "pony" when my teacher asks us a question. "What is you fav animal?"
Me: My little pony…
Nerd next to me: Fag.
Needless to say he was hurt after the bell.
But after time I just got used to it and just enjoyed the little ponies.
I won't tell my full-story though, it's sad to others for some reason.

But ever since I became a fan. I can say this sentence with pride.

Hay guise I'm still here just been busy doing other things but I still…….

How dare you ignore the sacred number of this page…

Anyone remember how many times we've shared our "becoming broneis" stories?
Yay storytime!
I knew about KYM, was pony day on memebase, followed the link to the article, looked up episodes, watched in order, ???, profit.

After finish watching the best show Ed, Edd, n' Eddy (sorry, but it's my childhood)
Anyways, our teacher only gave us five mins of free time. I used most of it for this.
When I was drawing that I was getting looks from everyone on class. So, a friend took a little pic of that and kept it in his camera.

Engie, I'm jelly that you've managed to tell people. I'd never be able to tell my friends. Maybe it's because you're Texan………….

I told a few of my friends. However I am planning on wearing a brony shirt for the final day.
