The judging eyes of the ignorant douchebags we're supposed to call the general public frighten me.
Don't worry, they can't get you here.
Exactly. :D

I'm willing to tell someone I like ponies if they ask, but announcing it... Pisses people off.

If it pisses them off, then they're a douchebag and their opinion is worthless. Why should it bother you what douchebags think of you?

Because I care about what people think about me, even the douchebags. I'm also not the kind of person who will give someone a solid punch to the jaw to make them shut the hell up.

I find that questioning their sexual security and being fit enough to run away works best.

Although to be honest, I've worn my Rainbow Dash shirt (which I linked a pic of way back; it is a huge design all down the front with a much longer than normal mane) openly, in broad daylight, on a crowded campus in the South, on multiple occasions. I've had one guy ask me what it was (his guess was, and I quote, "A really metal fairy". I'm honestly not sure if bronies even exist where I am, apart from me...  :-X), and not a single person so much as make a snarky comment. Besides, if anyone starts getting on you about it, just play the 'real men wear pink' card.  :P



FAKEEDIT: Also, decided to revise my story structure for my fic. Chapter I is now the prologue, as it takes place longer before the next part than the timeframe for the rest of the story. Also, because it is only 3kish words and the first proper chapter is less than a third done and already edging towards 2.5k words. Not that anyone cares.  ;)

Haha, I wore one of the shirts while playing a board game with the family, and I think my sister in law is starting to think me gay or something. She's already called the show "gay," and she's rather homophobic, so this is amusing.

Thank Luna for a family full of artists, musicians and union organizers.  :-X



Also, just submitted my fic to EqD... hope I don't have to wait for months to get that rejection letter!  :D

Oh, and the Ren and Stimpy/pony video on the EqD frontpage right now is brutally hilarious.

Hey, Guys, Dsarker here.

Another fanfic I'm starting. Tell me what you think, if you please.

Here it is

I've worn my Rainbow Dash shirt
openly, in broad daylight

I've occasionally fantasized about running into someone in real life wearing a pony shirt. I've thought about how I might walk up to them, smiling, then lock eyes and raise a hoof...then wait to see if I even need to say "brohoof" before they give me one.

Sometime the fantasy evolves into me being in a three piece suit in an otherwise formal situation. Say...me as the president of the united states giving the state of the union speech...and I see a supporter in the crowd wearing a dashie t-shirt. So I drop a line into my speech about how some policy will likely bring about a 20% improvement to something or another, then maybe ask for a 10 second moment of silence in memory of someone or another who died. And in this fantasy every brony in the entire world is watching the broadcast, near to falling off the edge of their seat with scrunched up eyes asking themselves...is that a coincidence? Did he know what he's saying? And then after I finish my speech and I'm walking through the crowd shaking hands with people, I give a brohoof to the guy wearing the shirt.

And give happy mindgasms to millions of people across the world as they realize that yes, the president is a brony. The world can be awesome now.

I have an active fantasy life.

In terms of wearing pony shirts, my plan worked and it turns out my friend's getting me one for my birthday or christmas. She never said which one, but I think it'll probably be the Luna one. Either that or Rainbow there, but I can't be sure.

I don't think, besides a handful of my friends (and one of them is thanks to me), there are any bronies around here at all. It makes me sad, but you never know. By wearing a MLP shirt, I think I'll find out.

I don't think I know any bronies who I haven't introduced to the show, and even then, I could count them on one hand.

Just got a reply, my prologue has gone to the prereaders... Time to cross my hooves.

Also, Dsarker: Another 40K crossover?  :o I'll give it a read while I get ready to meet with my advisor at waytooearlyinthegoddamnmorningwhycan'tyoukeepdecentofficehours.


Edit:


Nooooo don't eat Fluttershy! Well, at least the HiE has an in-universe reason for being a bastard, unlike so many other fics. I honestly didn't come across any really serious issues. One point: In the third where Twilight is trying to follow Celestia and Lunas' reasoning, you have her mention that if the ponies in the area knew the truth, they might end up "...running for the proverbial hills, scared that another ursa major was attacking...".

If you're trying to imply that the ponies of Ponyville would overreact to the news of something strange in the area (Trixie), while mentioning a previous result of that behavior from canon is a good route to take, you should probably either clarify it a bit more or just drop it entirely, as in the current state it could easily be misread as a misremembrance of canon events (it was, after all, only an ursa minor, which itself was there largely as a vehicle for Twi to show up Trixie) rather than a worldbuilding tool. Yeah, a minor concern, but some people (<---) get obsessive over details like that.  :P
