RuqyoHighsong

Awwwww yeaaaaahhhh 8D I'll be there shortly, hehe.

Can do!

Name: Ruqyo Highsong Sex: Male Age: Young Stallion Species: Pegasus Pelt Color: Mauve Mane/Tail/Markings Color & Style: Mint green Eye Color: Hazel Cutie Mark: Quill pen Physique: Average-to-medium build, mildly toned, strong legs Origin: Barrie, Ontario, Canada. Wakes up in the Painted Pinto Desert. Roleplay Type: Crossover (Canterlot Movie Crossover) Occupation:Part-time grocer...but would rather work in a book store or music store Motivation: To create art (poetry, photographs, drawings, music, etc.) Likes: Reading fiction, writing poetry, listening to a wide variety of music (especially instrumental), loose leaf tea, birds, horses (and by extension, PONIES), sociology, psychology Dislikes:Rap, country, metal, most physical contact, eye contact, rhyming poetry (prefers free form/prose), people who choose to be illiterate/uneducated Character Summary: A rather creative pony, who loves to dabble in many forms of 'art'...although poetry is his forte and the main weapon of choice. He loves to immerse himself in reading and music. Although he enjoys spending time with other ponies, he enjoys being by himself a lot more. He is also rather emotionally unbalanced, and his mood can change almost instantly. After a particularly rocky emotional night, he wakes up to find that he is a pegasus stranded in the Painted Pinto Desert. http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6210/6022470372_64dbe48f38_b.jpg

Name: Well, mah name is Jonathan Buckley Wheat, but you can call me Buckwheat. Ah don't usually go by mah full name. Ma only uses my full name if'n Ah get in trouble. Sex: Ah'm a colt, if'n you need to know. Age: Ah'm just a young'n, 8 summers old to be exact! Species: Mah Pa is a donkey, and mah Ma a pony, so that'd make me a mule. Ah guess you could say that Ah'm a half-breed...everyone else at school certainly likes to remind me o' that fact. Pelt Color: Ah'm the same colour as the wheat in the fields...yup. Mane/Tail/Markings Color & Style: Mah mane and tail? Sorta a wheat blonde, Ah guess. Mah mane is rather long, and it hangs down in mah eyes, but Ah like that. Pa has a mane like that, and Ah want to be just like 'im when Ah grow up! Eye Color: Mah Ma says mah eyes are 'as blue as the ocean'. Cutie Mark: Ah don't have one of those. Ah'm a mule, not a pony, so yeah...Ah feel sorta left out. Physique: Ah'm pretty built for mah age, at least, that's what Pa says. He calls me 'is 'little Hercules'. Ah'm not sure who Hercules is, but Ah reckon he's a strong pony. Origin: Ah live on the Wheat family farm, just outside o' Manehattan. This 'ere is where Ah was born. Roleplay Type: Ah'd like to play in that there 'Mane' area you talk about. Occupation: Ah'm a farmer, just like Pa! O' course Ah'm not strong enough yet to do much farmin'. But Ah still do what Ah can! Motivation: Ah want to grow up and take care o' the farm, just like Pa! Ah guess by now you understand how much he means to me. He's the best father ever! Likes: Ah love the smell of fresh whole wheat bread...and the taste too! Ah like when ponies don't judge me because Ah'm a mule. Ah also like to learn, believe it or not. Ah'm determined to do mah best in school, Ah wanna make my parents proud! Not that they ain't proud of me now, o' course. Dislikes: Ah really don't like it when others make fun o' the fact that Ah'm a mule. Yeah, so what? Ah've accepted who Ah am, and Ah wish they'd grow up and do the same!!...Sorry, didn't mean to yell, Ah just get a lil' upset when Ah think about their teasing. Character Summary: So, you wanna know about me, eh? Well, Ah guess it'd be good to start with mah parents, because, well, without them Ah wouldn't be, right? So, mah Ma, 'er name is Gaberdine Stitch. She's an earth pony, and a seamstress by trade. Mah Pa, Durum Wheat, is a donkey, and the current head o' the Wheat Family farm. How did a pony and a donkey get together? *chuckle* Ah guess love works in mysterious ways, or so Ma says. Ma told me that she met mah Pa when she was visiting Manehattan with friends. While she was 'ere, she went for a walk outside o' the city. She passed by the farm, and mah Pa and 'er 'locked eyes'. They said somethin' about 'love at first sight', which Ah just don't understand. Ah guess Ah'll understand this sorta stuff when Ah'm older. So, anyhow, to make a long story short, they got hitched, and a short time later Ah was born. Well, now that Ah got that bit outta the way, back to me. Ah go to school during the week, and on the weekends Ah do what Ah can to help out around the farm. Ma taught me how to sew, which is no mean feat for a pony, let alone a mule! Ah often mend the sacks we use to hold the ground grain. Sometimes Ah help Ma in the kitchen and around the house, either with bakin' or cleanin' or stuff like that. Once a week Ah go to the library and check out another book to read...Ma and Pa think that's mighty fine, and they often ask me to read aloud to them while they work. Ah don't really have many friends, mahself. It's unbelievable how many ponies make fun o' me for being a mule. Ah just don't get it. Ah know Ah'm different, but so are they! Most ponies mah age don't have all that much to do with me, so Ah often make pals with mah parents friends. They seem to like me well enough. Pa says that if'n you look for friends, you're sure to find 'em. And Ah agree. Just takes a little effort, that's all. So...would ya like to be mah friend?

I love griffons, so I can't find myself entirely hating Gilda. I mean, she was a b****, to be sure, but I kinda want to forgive her and give her lots of hugs. I AM TORN.

Many thanks to the bronies who have contributed to this! I am very appreciate of you six (wait a sec, six...hehe...) bronies for taking the time to answer, and I will read your answers in full when I get the chance. Thanks to Sethisto and Equestria Daily, I have quite a few questionnaire responses in my email inbox, and so I'm pretty much set. Your six responses will be used for sure in the data collection, you can be assured of that. However, that being said, I've got enough responses now, so I'll see about locking/closing this thread so that I don't receive any more.

So, I suddenly feel compelled to do some research on bronies. I guess I just want to get deeper into the mindset and ideas of the fandom, and also exercise my research muscles, which I haven't used for a good 3 years or so. I have compiled questions for you bronies to answer. Feel free to answer as much or as little as you wish, but if you can spare the time and thought for it, I'd love to see some bronies answer all of them. Please number the answers so as to make it easier for me to organize things. Thank you, in advance, for your time. Without further ado, here are the questions: 1. When you first heard about ‘My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic’, how did you feel? What were your reactions (if any) to the title? 2. Though originally meant for young girls, the show has expanded to a wider audience of differing age and gender. Explain, in your own words, why you believe this to be so. 3. a) What themes/aspects of the show resonate with you the most? What themes/aspects of the show do you dislike? 4. a) Which character(s) do you admire the most? Why? Which character(s) do you dislike the most? Why? 5. a) How has being a fan of this show changed you? Has it changed your personality/emotions/thoughts? How has being a fan of this show changed the way others view you? 6. a) Do you identify more with female lead characters? Would you watch this show if the lead characters were male rather than female? How might the show be affected if the lead characters were male?

"Owls Well That Ends Well" *sigh* That one just did not do it for me at all. I mean, I love birds, but Owlysius just didn't excite me at all. I guess he wasn't....*sunglasses*...much of a hoot. YEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH http://mirrors.rit.edu/instantCSI/ Also, I'm not fond of Spike, so the fact that it was a Spike-centric episode wasn't to my liking either.

Princess Celestia needs to be my mother. Because having Celestia as your mother would be awesome. 8D Oh boy, and then I'd have Auntie Luna! Heeeee

Neither am I. It's such a strong song, and catchy as all get out. :3

Well, I'm not much of a musician pony myself, but I still like to make nice sounds. :3 So I thought I'd start a thread with some of my pony-themed music. I'll update it again if I ever end up making anything new. For now, here's what I've got. I go by the moniker of Starflower for music (some of you may remember my character Starflower, which is in no way related to the G1/G3 Starflower, if only in name). http://soundcloud.com/starflowerambient/pony-dreams-pinkies-rest-14x Pony Dreams (Pinkie's Rest 14x) http://soundcloud.com/starflowerambient/the-night-will-last-forever The Night Will Last Forever [a Nightmare Moon-themed piece] http://soundcloud.com/starflowerambient/1000-year-exile 1,000 Year Exile [this one is probably my favourite so far. Ambient organ, woot! ] http://soundcloud.com/starflowerambient/jazz-improvisation Jazz Improvisation (featuring Octavia and Frederic Horseshoepin) http://soundcloud.com/starflowerambient/red-sky-at-morning Red Sky at Morning (I Love You Rainbow Dash) [The title says it all, hehe] Well, I'd love to hear from you ponies, to see what you think of these humble offerings. They're not amazing, but I think they do sound nice. :3 P.S. By the way, I'd recommend listening to all of these with headphones.

You make some good stuff, DH! The first piece I ever heard of yours is the duet, Symphonia in Duos Competitores, and it's without a doubt my favourite one. :3

Welcome to the forums, Thunder! We already met in the chat earlier, I was there as Djemba. Enjoy your stay with us! We are delighted to have you, you silly pony. :3

While I do love Pinkie in her saloon girl getup (rowr), I have to go with Winter Wrap-Up. That song is the most anthemic one in my humble opinion. Also, it makes me happy because it's about getting rid of winter. I don't like winter all that much. SUMMER IS MY TIME, AWWWWW YEAHHH.

I don't think I could sell her. Just because it's something I've wanted for myself for quite some time. I did end up with some extra material though, and might consider making a second one. Ah, well, if you ever do make a second one, let us know. I'm sure all of us ponies would love to vie for the chance to purchase it.

MWAHAHAHAHA IT'S ALIVE

Thunder, a question... Would you be willing to sell that 80s Cheerilee? Because it is amazing and I WANT IT. :3

Welcome Dogwood! Always great to have another brony with us! *glomps*

Lol, Brian, I could just see you sitting around sniffing a whole bunch of Applejack stickers. It's a funny thought. My thoughts on this: Twilight - Grape, Pinkie Pie - Bubble Gum, Rainbow Dash - Blueberry, Fluttershy - Banana or Mango, Rarity - Perfume That's my expectations on the scent. I'm probably way off, though. EDIT: Hey, if Rarity's scent is perfume, it could be *snirk* Cheval No. 5 *rimshot*

I better send Pinkie after you. Pinkie Pie: *pulls WereCat out of the closet* Silly brony! The closet isn't for hiding in! OH! UNLESS...ARE WE PLAYING HIDE AND SEEK? OH OH I FOUND YOU WEEEEE. We should have a hide and seek party, oh boy, that sounds like fun, although how would you know if anyone showed up? Because they'd be hiding, right? Oh well, I guess when my punch bowl begins to empty I would know for sure. I'd have an unfair advantage because of Gummy, he's the bestest at hide and seek! He'd find each and every one of you, he would! Oh oh, maybe, we all hide at first, and then, once everypony is found, then we party! Oh Pinkie, you're so smart. Why thank you! Silly me, I'm talking to myself again. So, the hide and seek party will be tomorrow afternoon at 2:00, ok? You better show up and hide, or I'll come find you...wait, I'll come and find you anyhow, heehee! Okey Dokey Lokey! Look at Pinkie Pie, now back to me, now back to Pinkie Pie, now back to me. Thankfully, she isn't me, but if she stopped eating so many cupcakes and started eating alfalfa, she could pretend that she is me. Look down, look up. Where are you? You're on a forum with the brony that Pinkie Pie could be like. What's in your hoof? I have it. It's a ticket to the Grand Galloping Gala. Look again, THE TICKET IS NOW DIAMONDS. Anything is possible when Pinkie Pie starts pretending to be like me. I'm like a horse. EDIT: Sorry, I got a little carried away. I realize this post has nothing to do whatsoever with the posters. But I just couldn't help myself, haha.

Rainbow Dash, you need to make my wall 20% cooler. Now. :3 That'd be the only one for me. Rainbow Dash contains so much awesome that I don't need anymore posters except her.

ASSIMILATE. ACCEPT. PONIFY. REJOICE.

Before roleplaying on here, I actually partook in roleplaying feral horses. I think I had two or three mares. My favourite one was a Pintabian, if I recall correctly. That was a little over a year ago. And I've done lots of fantasy RP previous to that. I'm a good RPer, there's no doubt about that. I mean, I don't think I'm all that amazing, but people keep telling me that I do rather well, and so I can say without a shadow of a doubt that I know what I'm doing and can carry myself well. :3

OBVIOUSLY. I think it's a law in the UK to like crumpets. Welcome to the forums, mate! Make yourself comfortable. If you need me, I'll be over here, muzzle deep in a book, just like Twilight Sparkle. BOOKWORM BRONIES FOREVER Also, in response to your flying away into the sunset... SHAAAAAAAANE! SHAAAAANE! COME BACK! X3

Hello to the muffins, Derpy! Welcome to the forums! *throws a wing over your shoulder* Always good to have another pony with us.
