My Little Pony XXIX: The Spoilers have been DOUBLED!

[Tectonic Robot]

I take great pride in my mysterious ways! I never reveal my secret projects until the time is right!

...

I'm bored. I guess It's time to reveal one of my secret projects...
Or at least give hints about it.

In other homestucky news, do you instantly think of Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff whenever you see "The Fun Has been doubled"?

...:O :O :O :O :O
If you make what I think you'd shoot up the ranks of your eccheladder to spunky playground-lord.

Jade slides over to Candle, and drapes a hoof over his shoulder. "You know, what she says is the law. She's a princess. So nothing illegal's going on by royal decree." She appears to be fighting the massive mischievous grin from her face, but isn't exactly doing all that well.

Candles looks slightly uncomfortable, but doesn't totally freak out this time. "You know, I'm still pretty sure she's not actually a princess, and even if she was that wouldn't give her warrant to do whatever she wants. Otherwise we'd have tyrants and stuff..."

"Erm...... Is there a particular reason why you have a hoof on my shoulder?

[Grif]

Can't, just can't. I'm a depressed 24 year old college dude man. Waaay too old for this stuff and wrong demographic by a far shot. Can be on good diplomatic terms though.

How is it that druid droid has resisted the allure of a ponytar then?! I must know his secret immunity to duplicate it and immunize the clones from this affliction!

He has a ponytar. He choose not to use it.

It's not that hard. I mainly changed mine because a friend of mine has a prejudice against forum users who use anime character pics as avatars. If I find or make something I like more than what I have now, Pony Byakuya will go away.

As far as DD is concerned, his avatar matches his name... So getting a ponytar would defeat the purpose.

EDIT:

He has a ponytar. He choose not to use it.

Well there you go, then. wish I'd known this before my post. x.x

Actually, I had a crazy Twilight avatar for most of this past week...

EDIT: And I have a pony in my sig!

Hmm... tectonic robot has resisted it too. Perhaps it has something to do with machine logic. Must propose implementation of adjustments to the clone horde.

Oh Lord... Watch "A Dog and Pony Show", then look at my avatar, would you?

[Thanqol]

I care what's legal! Legality is an important aspect of things!

You are a mafia dog.

Sek cringed slightly as Tinker shouted in his direction. "Uh, did you take voice lessons from the Princess, by any chance, Tinker? And anyway, I don't think my logic is quite that good...I'm much better at working with my hooves."

"Sort of! Not directly, you understand, but science involves the occasional reign of terror, which means that I've got to at least sound the part." Tinker said, scrunching up her notepaper and throwing it over her shoulder. "I've been working with a vocal coach. Anyway, all the big obvious ideas are crossed off the list. No golemism, no haunting, no supercomputer, no possession, maybe vampirism -" Charger rolled her eyes "- and you don't seem like much of a werewolf to me. I'm getting close to the guessing stage."

I wouldn't know...I keep coming up with Obrimos or Moros ones it seems :(

Could just be those paths reflect you real life personality. I, for example, an am Obrimos in virtually everything I do. And moreover, I've done sustained Jayden RP, and she believes that all other Paths are stupid wastes of time for people who don't have the guts to learn 'real magic' (read: Forces), and for the losers who went to Hell or wherever instead of Heaven. I only haltingly understand the Thyrsus philosophy, and I find the Arcanthus almost offensively incomprehensible. BUT, in my tabletop, our group's Arcanthus regularly floors me by transforming acts of seeming idiocy into acts of inspired genius.

Jayden: "Why did you give the Werewolves that arrowhead? They're werewolves! They can't do anything with it, whereas we might actually be able to trace where it came from with our magic!"
Worhol: "Oh, I know where it came from."
Jayden: "Huh?"
Worhol: "It came from our so-called Adamantine Arrow friends."
Jayden: "Buh?"
Worhol: "And obviously we can't move against them, but if we just so happen to point the werewolves in the right direction...
Jayden. "... oh. I take it back."

Why is granny smith leading the kids around? They don’t even seem to be Apple family members...

It takes a village, as the horrible cliche goes.

ETA: The had a story on NPR a few weeks ago (possibly days, they all bleed together) about Rent a Grandma.

[Titanium Fox]

Well, I'll see you ponies tomorrow. I am so insanely sleep deprived, and I have to be up for work in seven hours.

Night!

[gooddragon1]

Oh Lord... Watch "A Dog and Pony Show", then look at my avatar, would you?

Actually now I recognize it from what I posted earlier about rarity's admittance of being a mule here: link.

Still not a pony though!

Can't think of any ponytar that could possibly sway me though. And if it's so popular, why have none of my D&D 3.5 group come forward as bronies? HA!

[MBI]

Just out of interest, what exactly do you think I'm doing?

You'll find one, I'm sure. ^^

Not everyone likes ponies. *shrug* Then again, not everyone has tried them. Plus if you follow the stereotype, D&D nerds are just about the least likely people to come forward with information like that.

If Star Wars is so popular, why hasn't Donald Trump come out as a jedi?

In reality they are ALL bronies but they are waiting for someone else to step forward first so they are not alone. Someone has to go first, and maybe they are just to scared to admit it.
Seriously, all it takes is someone to introduce or bring it up to them and probably at least one of them will/already like it.

And about being to old for the ponytar or whatever you were specifically referring to, didn't someone bring up that they are baby-boomer age in this thread.

[byaku rai]

Aha! The perfect excuse to not give in! My D&D group would never forgive me...

Or perhaps they're stealth bronies, and you revealing that you're one too could bring them out.

Or maybe they're not, and you can convert them. They might make fun of you at first, but if they try it and like it, you'll have brony friends.

[Thanqol]

He's a Sith obviously.

But there are only ever two Sith.

OH GOD THE APPRENTICE MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE NOW

You have to remember not EVERYONE is a Brony.

In fact, I only know one other Brony IRL.

But we don't hide the fact that what we like is out of our demographic, nor could we care. If others can't accept you for who you are they aren't really friends now are they?

I have a friend who absolutely hates people who like anime or anything girly related and yet he accepted the fact that I like anime and girly stuff.

Also, you can't base how popular something is based on how many people you talk to because of how expansive the human population is.

You can, however, base popularity on how well known something is.

Not everyone is or has to be a Brony. Just be who you are and follow what you like. :/

I'm an 18 year old College Student, and I like ponies.

[Eakin]

As punishment for the offense of getting a song stuck in my head, I swore to bombard a non-brony friend with so much pony that they died of diabetes, and that while slipping into the stupor of their diabetes-induced coma, they would be deliriously singing pony songs. Anyone have any ammo laying around? Also, what's the general consensus on "best episode to use to introduce someone to FiM?" Winter Wrap Up?

If you can only pick one episode, then yeah Winter Wrap up would be my choice. Swarm of the Century had a number of supporters as well

If they like it enough tell them to just start at episode 1 and start watching in order. If they make it through 6 or 7 they're a lock.

[Neoseanster]

I should probably not be laughing at this as hard as I am, but OH GOD I CAN"T STOP, AND MY ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE WON'T STOP EITHER.

BWA HA HA, ditto.



Also, huzzah, Inkblot ponytar.

[EsperDerek]

I really hope this actually happens. If you decide to shoot for BroNYcon January and need a place to stay on the rediculous drive down from Toronto, my place is right along the way. Anything I can do to facilitate ponythread meets.

The last one at the September con was amazing, and that was just me, Psycho, Vent, and Orzel. Who are all completely awesome ponies by the way.

That sounds really amazing. I'll try hard to figure something out, I really do want to go to one of these things so I can meet ponies in person. My life is really up in the air right now, with the new job and all, so we'll see how it goes.

*Hugs Back* I'm glad to hear it. I don't think I've ever found an RP partner I've bounced off of quite this well in years and years. In fact this is only the second time. I'd be a little depressed if we didn't manage to get something together again. This has seriously been absolutely amazing.

Don't worry, I know a good thing when I see it, and you, my friend, are most definitely one of those. I'd be depressed too if nothing ever came about after this, so we're gonna make sure that doesn't happen!

"Don't worry little Midnight... You'll get your chance again." She grins and winks from across the room, swaying her leatherclad flank as she struts sloooooowly away.

"Yes Mistress, I really do look forwards to it!" *Midnight lets out a very happy squeak, as Jade shows off like that.

Can't, just can't. I'm a depressed 24 year old college dude man. Waaay too old for this stuff and wrong demographic by a far shot. Can be on good diplomatic terms though.

Hahaha. 24? Oh, you old man, you. Truly, you must be the oldest one in the thread.

Candles looks slightly uncomfortable, but doesn't totally freak out this time. "You know, I'm still pretty sure she's not actually a princess, and even if she was that wouldn't give her warrant to do whatever she wants. Otherwise we'd have tyrants and stuff..."

"Erm...... Is there a particular reason why you have a hoof on my shoulder?

*Midnight blinks, and then trots over to Candles.

"Oh, yeah, that reminds me! Here!" She pulls out a newspaper, the Canterlot Times, showing him the front page. The picture on the front is of Midnight, in a spectacular Gala dress. She's up on stage, flanked by Twilight Sparkle, Trixie, and Princess Luna, with Princess Celestia watching proudly off to the side. The headline reads:

Luna's Daughter Revealed in Surprise Gala Announcement!

She grins softly.

"See? I pulled this out of my memories notebook just to show you. One of the proudest days of my life, being up on stage like that.

Oh, by the way, what Jade is doing is legal!"

Well, I'll see you ponies tomorrow. I am so insanely sleep deprived, and I have to be up for work in seven hours.

Night!

Sleep well, my ponyfriend!

[SiuiS]

Ugh. Ponythread? Why are all my friends most active in you when I should be working!?

Kris; it's no more "dimension hopping" than walking is. If you walk somewhere, yourehanging coordinates in space and time. If you stand still, you're changing just coordinates in time (minus vast cosmic machinery, Byaku Rai ). You find being in two places at the same time weird, and being in two times at the same place normal, only because of conditioning.

The "other" Leo wouldn't be you; it wouldn't be the same exaltation. It would be a different one. It may eventually feed into or be fed into the other, but they would be distinct by the very fact that they are there and not the same thing occupying the same coordinates.

Thanqol; lookin into space wizardry. It's a starting point; I am horribly inept at pretending to be Japanese. Or fit in with their culture. Or pretending I know anything about their culture. So basically an abstract concept is my liferaft in a sea of In Over My Head.

I'm proud o' myself.

Jade... Can't remember what I was going to say separate from quotewall.
Um. Hi?

And yes. We totally need to do a meet-up.

trust me you aint too old

i just turned 41 on Friday
(does this make me the Elder of Ponythread?)

Regarding good first episode....
The Ticket Master is a good intro..and has the bonus of the Benny Hill chase scene to make the point that this show AINT just for little girls

Hokkaido Highway Blues, man. Possibly my favourite non-fiction book ever. And, but lesser, Roads to Sato, by Alan Booth. Alternately, any of the other things I mentioned in the Influences post. Culture's a complex enough thing that I wouldn't presume to communicate it in anything less than an entire novel.

Alternately, feel free to play a foreigner living in Japan.

Really do you want to know the best way to avoid getting a ponytar? Just don't ask for one and allow your sweetly honed procrastination skills do the rest.

[gooddragon1]

I'm also a loner. The pony thing has a nice group (herd lolz?) mentality tag with it that is interesting but I've always been distant from other people. I just can't connect with others on the level required to be a "brony". It's interesting to peer in on your thoughts and workings but I can't directly connect with anyone. Oh well.
