starswirlthebearded Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Well, it is official... My mother HAS to know, but not care enough to say anything.I mean... She browsed right past it while getting to Columbo in my Netflix recently watched (she uses my account). This was right after telling her that it was my account, I pay for it, and everything on it is mine. So... yeah...totally doesn't care. I saw her pass it too... so it wasn't like she went straight to search and never saw it either... She saw it, said nothing, went along watching Columbo.

Rosewind Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I dunno Swirly, but if she cared you think she'd say something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starswirlthebearded Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I dunno Swirly, but if she cared you think she'd say something?She has questioned me on Phineas and Ferb.... so yes... yes I do... I think she has just come to accept my love of cartoon (read: children's) programming XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaBrony Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 My parents probably don't know what bronies are, but they both know that I'm a fan. They seem to find it a bit... stupid. I've always enjoyed cartoons more than live action or filmed stuff, so they probably think they won't be able to get me out of this since they couldn't keep me from enjoying cartoons from my childhood.

Erlenmeyer Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 My parents know about me being a brony. They accept it and are actually amused by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarger001 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 My parents... Sadly...Are not amused. They tried it once and threw it down. When i say tried, i mean gen 3(.5) of course. But the whole school takes it as a joke, i know one Pegasister from there but NO bronies. I told my parents TWICE. First time being----Parent walks into room (Dad)Dad: Umm what are you watchingMe: Its obviously a stupid youtube ad, hurr durr...Dad: No it's not, look, it even says My Little Pony on the video name.Me: Oh right yeah im a brony okbai.Dad: Brony?Me: Bro Pony. Now leave so i can talk to derpy.SECOND TIME (Most recent)*Le me leaving for school* (This time telling my mum)Me: Mum i watch my little pony Okbai.Mum: You gay hurr durrMe: Umadbro?Yeah. That's pretty much what happened, just made more comedic. The second one was roughly exactly the same. The first one as i remember included the end and nothing much else. I was banned for the PC 2 weeks because of my mum BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hinata2000100 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 My parents are very well aware that I watch this show and sometimes even assist me in doing some pony-related things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuickLime Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 I told my mom and though she doesn't often support things I like, she's flat out embraced my Brony-hood...She's not only bought me a Brony Shirt (The Rainbow Dash 20% cooler shirt) but also a Pony Blind bag, and next week as payment for taking care of her dog is buying me the pack of pony figures that includes the mane 6She's even gone so far as to get me the toys from Mcdonalds AND knows several of them by name :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler008bon Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 You know how I posted that my sister argued alongside me against my mom? Well, she told her best friend about it (its just one person, Tyler!), and now my dad's entire church knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, she told her best friend about it (its just one person, Tyler!), and now my dad's entire church knows.I'm assuming you think that is bad. For some reason Catholicism, which is supposed to be accepting, is not all too accepting of homosexuality, and I'm assuming you think that they'll view your enjoyment of MLP:FiM as a sign of homosexuality and ostracize you for it. Leading, possibly, to further issues within your town. I offer this advice, if the previous statements are true... Stick to your guns. Things will work out. There is no sense in worrying about how many people know or what they might think. You must be you, and no one else. Do not try and change their view of the show, but do however show them that it is not the media but the person that should be judged on their merits. And if I am wrong, I do apologize for reading into this too deeply or incorrectly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosewind Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I think you nailed it right on the head, Swirly!To expand on his advice, I think you should stick to your guns no matter what: with life in general and the people you deal with in it. Take pride in what you enjoy and don't let anyone from anywhere tell you otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaucySpider Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 As for the whole sticking to your guns thing. Do what I do, just ignore every hater, meanwhile wear your brony shirt with pride, and if you wanna do what I did. Ponify everything! It's really fun, you should see my computer now.

Ashton Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I dont remember if I posted this or not, but my mother is now fully aware I love MLP:FiMIt didnt shock her as I'm a major fan of animation (eastern and western) but because it *IS* MLP she now is even more convinced I'm gay... and mocks me for my Dashie messenger bag and shirts... but at this point I dont care and at least it means I can wear them whenever I want (though I'm not brave enough to wear my RD tail yet...)

Show meeeee!Because its "for little girls" and there's nothing I can say or do to make her think otherwise. And yes, she's constantly nagging me to get a GF, get married, and Have some grandkids for her...Lol, it's not assembled yet but I have all the colors in the right lengths, I've not gotten the hook for it yet so I've not put it together.

Ashton Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 As for the Rd tail, that's cool! I bought an RD mane and tail for my cosplay idea.I bought my mane and am making my tail (the only ones I saw were like $60, I got all materials for less than $20) I'm still needing a cyan zentai suit, boots, and vest (as well as some felt to make her wings) I'm hoping to make it to Dragon*Con in Sept and cosplay her there in "Winter Wrap Up" costume.

Lux Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Got the mane/ tail from www.thefivewits.com ($40 total), a blue T-shirt with RD's cutie mark on Cafe Press ($30), and I'm going to get wings and ears made up with my friend's help using felt.

Ashton Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 My Mane came from theatrical supplies (dont remember the URL) for ~$12, my Tail hair came from Doctored Lox for $2/color, I'm getting the zentai suit off eBay for $30, the boots from I dont know where yet, making the vest, "padding" from eBay, cutiemark/wings/ears from felt (we're probably using the same tutorial) for $4 from Wallyworld, pink contacts from (site that's closed down) for $30, blue makeup from SillyFarm for $7 and if I have the time/$ I'm comissioning a custom Loyalty Necklace from a friend of mine. Trying to decide wheather to go with a prosthetic muzzle (which I have, but got from NorthFur FX for ~$25) or just shade the area to imply it's a muzzle... Oh and my 20% cooler Messenger bag from WeLoveFine. Not sure how/if I'll do hooves or just go with hands (might do the "large zleeve/open bottom" approach a lot of people use) --- Sad part is I'll only be there for 1 day so a lot of the effort seems a waste since I'll only use it a couple times (D*C in sept, FWA in Feb --- possibly repeat next year if we get a S4) though I might wear it to my SWRCD20 game one night just to mess with them (especially since the Ref's a brony and one of the player loves to "hate" ponies (he really doesn't care, just isnt into it, but enjoys ribbing the series good-naturedly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
