October 5th, 2011 (yay forum posts! xD), so 9 months and 17 days of Bronydom.

Four instances - A random brohoof the first time I wore "This Shirt Just Got 20 Percent Cooler." Someone drawing ponies on their laptop at a rec center. Somehow Celestia got into a conversation I was having with a stranger at work and the subject turned into ponies. I met a co-worker on Meetup.com that I've "known" for about a year or so now (seen on occassion but never really talked to) through a Brony meetup group.

It'd help any potentially interested people if you posted a short summary explaining the setting of your story so that they know what kind of boundaries are expected of their characters and allow them to create a more specialized, rather than generic, character. I'd also suggest that you ask for a detailed description of each character's personality along with any quirks and try to follow that as best you can to satisfy the original owner and avoid any "My character wouldn't act that way," comments.

This. I'm freaking addicted to them. D:

That's a pretty interesting chart. I found that I was most like Luna's description but also a lot like Zecora's, Twilight's, Pinkie's, and Fluttershy, which are all exactly around Luna. Coincidence? O.o

Like the others have said, if you don't like it, it needs to stop. Talk to him about it and try to find something else the two of you can enjoy together instead. Communication is key here and you need to be able to find common ground - not just give into him to make him happy.

Maybe not physically, but how about psychologically? I know I gave up my preconceived notion that the show would suck and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who watched their first episode with negative bias. And on that train of thought, as I further watched the show I also gave up what I thought certain things were in the show before I actually saw them based on the memes. For example, before I saw the Parasprites and Cutie Mark Crusaders in the show, I actually thought they were the same thing and that they were going to be some major villain group in the show that somehow made ponies lose their Cutie Marks or something. I know there were many other things I thought incorrectly as I watched the show as well, particularly from the preview images (or whatever you call them) of related videos on Youtube of episodes I hadn't seen yet. One that I remember was "Fall Weather Friends" where the preview image looked, to me, like Rainbow Dash was hitting on Twilight Sparkle, lol. Oh and I had seen a drawing on DA before I ever watched the show that made me think RD was a mechanic. So many things I incorrectly thought about the show.

Hmm... that's pretty interesting (and was pretty funny to read, actually). Nostalgia Critic is from that site too, right? I've seen him review a couple movies I cherished as a child to find out how ridiculous they really were, lol. So yeah, I think I understand what you mean by them "not being kind about their reviews." So then, no one ended up trashing the series over there, eh?

MMDW, S&E, and Hurricane Fluttershy. Why not Wedding? Because I had four favorites out of this selection and Wedding’s gonna win anyway so I decided to switch it up. Now watch as everyone decides Wedding won’t need their vote and follows my lead, thus causing it to get eliminated in round one. *evil laughter*

Was anyone else reminded of Meowth in this comic?

Why can I see Pinkie singing in that voice in the actual show? xD Anyway, congrats! So what got you into the fandom to begin with and what kept you along for the ride? Do you think it's changed you personally in any way or inspired you try any new things (or expose you to them) that you didn't see yourself doing a year ago?

Fixed. No reason I shouldn't be able to make this. Given I'm not suddenly deployed by then or anything, I should still be stationed in Bremerton at the time.

I feel outnumbered here, lol. I don't hate chocolate, but don't particularly enjoy it either and just generally don't eat it but will on occassion (primarily chocolate chip cookies or s'mores). Actually, I've never been a fan of desserts in general. If I had to name one, it'd be plain angel food cake (dang, I'm beginning to feel really boring now, lol). Just don't have much of a taste for them, I guess, and my dad was the same way so supposedly I've genetically acquired that taste I guess (although my siblings are different in that respect). Then again, I eat til I'm full during the meal anyway, so that's also a reason.

Not long after I first got into the fandom, I witnessed a group of Bronies work together to prevent another from committing suicide. Here are the threads if you want to read into that: http://www.friendshipismagic.org/forum/f10/ill-gone-while-4187/ http://www.friendshipismagic.org/forum/f10/dddrgn-safe-4305/ Not only did a considerable number of the forum try to support this one member through his hardship, a few of them even went out of their way to trace him and go after him to stop him in the act and save him.

Oh no, it's that guy (this is Scott if you forgot my forum-going name, lol). Welcome!

Well, he got Mario in 18 questions (question 16: does your character have a mustache, and then it just went downhill from there D:). He got Chancellor Puddinghead in 2 guesses (first was Berry Punch - no idea who that is). After some Pinkie-related questions - Is your character associated with the horror genre? xD I got him on my sixth try with Jason David Frank.

True story, apparently. Because I've recently met one of my twins. I was shocked I wasn't looking into a mirror. O.o Anyway, I found some candy brain for you: http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxvfjvVY5C1qgaob4.gif (okay, so it's not exactly candy, close enough xP) And while we're at it, here's some brain candy: Oh, the relevency.

Back on topic - I do have a couple shirts that I wear regularly and draw the characters in public but other than that, I only talk about it if questioned or the person I'm talking to just so happens to bring it up.

As Rosewind, Mecha, and Starfox stated, it isn't any more radiation that you're exposed to on a daily basis. I was on the first ship to respond to the disaster last year. Even then they were saying the same thing and we were right off the coast flying food and supplies to the land.

I saw this post and am now tempted to find a Toys R Us if only to pick this up. xD

Don't join the military. Female officers must be addressed as ma'am.

I got the two shirts Hot Topic carries in their stores a few months ago and that was it. If and when I decide to start a toy collection (it's an idea that's been bouncing in and out of my head), it would most likely include MLP.

Styling putty? You're gonna have to tell me what that is. When I think putty, I think Play-Do. `^^

I picked up the wig I plan to use for my Applejack cosplay at Emerald City Comicon this weekend and just posting here on suggestions for styling it. I have no experience style hair, real or synthetic, so yeah. Without cleaning it up first, this is more or less what I'm planning on doing - having the top swept to one side (and if at all possible, sticking outward somewhat) and the end laying over a shoulder (with a ponytail at the end - I just haven't gotten a headband yet). Anyway, like I said, I don't know how exactly to style a wig. First I'm planning to wet it a bit and then hopefully I can comb it straight or something and there's at least one spot that needs to be cut (the strand of hair on my right in the picture - when I sweep the top, those strands come with it). I'm not gonna do anything yet until I know for sure, so does anyone here know how to style a wig?
