Friendship is Magic

Pinkie seems to manage ok on her own.

But on a side note, it's just an earth pony because I haven't decided what kind of pony to make it. My friend said unicorn because the cutie mark is a religious symbol and thus tied to magic, basically.

All ponies have "fingers" (they may only have four of them and they have these huge fingernails, but hey they are fingers).

(The irony is that what we think of as their "elbow" is actually their wrist and their actual elbow is where their chests are.)

I can't imagine that mascot costume is being used for anything fucked up at all.

Well, there aren't any strategically placed holes in it. Yet.

I'm more worried about the life size rainbow dash plush I saw.

For added horror, I bet the guy who bought the mascot costume also bought the life-size plush.

He's going to make a double rainbow, if you will.

For those in the herd not following the Legend stuff in the other thread, the secret of their new DLC is ponies. Don't take this as an endorsement of the system though

Okay, I knew that Cantorlot was intentionally based on Minas Tirith, but I just realized that Twilight Sparkle's name is likely a sneaky reference to a character in the Similariion.

Did they go out of their way to make that packaging look even more girly than the show is? I mean, the show is about adorable ponies being friends, but holy crap man.

I also feel bad for Rainbow Dash, who didn't make the cut to be in the glue sticks. Either that or the reason she's missing is because she IS the glue sticks.

I saw this on my Nation States Regional Forum and I had to share.

Unfortunately their board allows html code.

I'll just use the embed HTML as a direct link HERE and it oddly enough works. Enjoy "Teans react toMy Little Pony: Friendship is Magic."

The best part is the kid in the hoody who comes around as soon as he decides that it's all trolling. The weirdest part is that when the girls pretend they wouldn't want a Brony boyfriend - that's a pretty stark contrast to my reality.

What? I've always thought women like a manly man, and enjoying a cartoon pony show is not particularly manly (even if you play a drinking game during it!). You need to be more like Rainbow Dash to get women, not like Rarity.

Then again, I'm still at the age where everyone is really fucking stupid and thinks pretending not to like childish things is what you're supposed to do as an adult. Ah, here's the quote I'm looking for.

"Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." - CS Lewis.

Well, as for me, I have yet to meet a brony who doesn't watch the show with their girlfriend (or fiance or wife) each and every week. This actually contrasts really starkly with my nerxdperiences in comics, TTRPGs, Anime Club, etc- all of which are chok-full of lonely loser guys.

I may be misreading, but you're saying watching MLP:FIM is less pooncruisin-imparing than comics, TTRPGs and anime?

I'd get that as it doesn't require much attention and people can see the appeal without much effort. However, my experience is my lady-pal seeing it and saying "What's with this pony shit?" and looking rather confused.

Then again, I should really watch the show with my pants on.

Behold, the Pony Wheel!

Image from this blog article thingy...

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic has done more for the cause of feminism than anything else in the last ten years.

The article wasn't horrifically interesting, but I liked the image.

Well that's one way of putting it.

If I had to guess, I would say that guys professing interest in FiM tends to hit a romantic sweet spot somewhere between Alan Alda sensitivite-guy, ironic hipster and That one Bloodhound Gang Song.
