  1. Although being able to go on Mlp forums etc without being judged would be a godsend

    I welcome you in the way only Photo Finish could:

    "Nervous? Don't be ridiculous. You're only facing a large crowd of ponies, who will be watching your every move, and silently judging you."

  2. A few years ago, I learned that words like "very" "extremely" do not actually add meaning to your writing. My usage of them was high.

    I might have said in the past "In my opinion, Fall Weather Friends is the very best episode" for example.

    I have been very conscious of removing these words from my vocabulary of late.

    Other subtractions are things like "In my opinion", which also adds nothing to anything subjective since it is obvious that it is a preference.

    I use thus more than anyone else

    I love "thus"! "Therefore" as well.

    My catchphrase was "really?" until people started pointing it out. I had no idea I was doing it, and though I liked it, I naturally stopped because I became self conscious of it.

    Though I do not type it often, verbally I use "Indeed" as my go to affirmative answer.

  3. I only found Mlp Fim about a week ago and it has been my secret for that time. Somehow one of my irl friends has found out and none of my friends will be very accepting about me being a brony because of our ages. I'm not sure what I should do. I don't want to keep my bronyism a secret but if I tell them I'm afraid of the consequences.

    Well, if the problem doesn't just go away on its own, and it might if you stay silent, then you should prepare yourself to defend the series. It is of good quality, and is not terribly difficult to justify. It may not change their minds or stop teasing, but it will increase your confidence in yourself and your hobby.

    Why do you watch it? Answer that for yourself before opening my reasons below:

    The theme is that relationships are challenging, but rewarding and worth the effort.

    There is almost no romance drama, allowing the show to focus on attributes of healthy friendships.

    The characters are diverse and relate-able so anyone can find a character that they like.

    The lead is a nerd, but a cool one.

    The animation is visually appealing

  4. Talking to some brony friends last night, they expressed their concern about the quality of episodes in Season 2 and how the series may not keep interest unless there is a 'consistant villain' that rises up.

    Honestly if someone is looking for a villain, why are they here? The show is so much better than its occasional forays into exciting action. And other shows do it way better. I won't regret the loss of those kinds of fans. Much. Ok I will, but I think they are missing out on the best that the show has to offer.

    Also, I've been rating the episodes on iTunes on my second pass through the two seasons, and my season two average is slightly higher than my season one average. At first I thought I liked the premier season more, but I think that was an illusion created by watching the entire first season in a few sittings, and the second season episodes one at a time.

  5. Sneaks in and scoops all of Knight's MLP toys off the shelf and tip toes out of topic! :kissy:

    On Topic: I think we should trust our own judgment - if you feel you should reveal something private about your life then it is up to you. And if Jason and Knight want to donate all their MLP toys to me - then that is fine as well! Bwah ha! :blush:

    Truely, you have chosen the right avatar to represent you.

    MLP is definitely on my list of passions that could leave a weird first impression.

  6. I actually would like to see a completely Derpy focused episode where one of the mane 6 befriend her and get to know her more. Wouldn't it be fitting if the plot were about Derpy's crush on a brony?

    "Scrubs" did an entire episode focused on the supporting cast (The Tod, Janitor, etc) and it was outstanding. However, I love that the show focuses on platonic friendships and I'm in no hurry to see any more crushes.

  7. http://ilovecharts.tumblr.com/ recently posted a comic from "Abstruse Goose" and I decided to check it out.

    If you like nerdy xkcd type humor, give this a shot:

    Edit:

    check this one out too:

    Just...Wow.

    Did you ever wish you used fewer strong words so that when you did they would mean more? That is kinda how I feel about this particular comic.

  8. Curiosity is getting the better of me and I think I could wrangle up the open-mindedness necessary to read a fanfic, but probably not more than one.

    Could someone recommend one complete story of inviting length that is emotionally (rather than action) driven and friendship (rather than romantically) themed? It should feel authentic.

  9. I wouldn't really want her to have a speaking role, and definitely not a plot-centric appearance. She's too much fun for all of our fan creations.

    Dropping furniture on TS in Feeling Pinkie Keen is about the right amount of appearance. You know HD was directly involved, no words are necessary, and it fits rather seamlessly into the important part of the story without being a huge distraction.

  10. I find it interesting that Cutie Mark Chronicles has the most votes right now.

    That is a surprise. It is a wonderful episode, but I had only barely considered it to be a contender. I think I am so annoyed by the crusaders that even when they have a good episode it leaves a bitter aftertaste.

    I love origin stories, but sometimes it is better to not know, then to know it is a little lame. Applejack's was awkward, Pinkie's was made no sense, and Rarity's started great but had a terrible conclusion. The costumes looked baaaad with the gems.

  11. I have this very day received a tool of great power and I will wield it to the betterment of pony fans everywhere.

    I am talking, of course, about the Nielsen Television Viewing Survey that came in the mail today. Tomorrow morning I will call Nielsen with pride and inform them that I watch My Little Pony (and House).

    Let it not be said that never has weesh failed to not do what he ought not to when the time called for it.

    Rejoice with me in our victory!

    Also, the survey came with two crisp one dollar bills. What is up with that?

  12. I think everyone here's thinking of Discord; he's the one who made you your opposite (Pinkie not happy, FShy a jerk, AJ a liar, etc.) The Poison Joke just made it hard for the mane 6 to do what they liked. Dash couldn't fly (well, fly straight anyway), Pinkie couldn't talk, etc.

    Wow, and we all made the same mistake en mass.

    I guess I'd lose my ability to balance, especially on ice. You can't throw or sweep in curling without balance.
