Starfleet Magic (10 years) · 5:03am Dec 25th, 2022
10 Years ago, today (Christmas Day) I made my very first MLP fic (Magic is believing, which eventual was changed into Starfleet)
I am very proud of it...
It all started back in 2012... FIM was already 2 years old, but I didn't know about it-- I saw no commercials, or any major publicity (Most likely, it's popularity hadn't flared yet)
Then I got overly stalked and bullied by one of my long-term haters who kept ramming MLP down my throat insisting...
"You're gonna hate on it too"
And constantly getting in my face for NOT doing it. (Very mature: whether I do it or not, he bullies me)
Then things only got worse: FIM's fame and popularity began to erupt (Taking over the world) I kept seeing it no matter where I went.
-Avatars
-TV commercials
-Merchandise
While shopping for a new toothbrush in the dental care section... what do I see next to it? an MLP Makeup kit for kids.
Even shopping for Yugioh Cards... There's an MLP trading card game next to it!
...There's just no avoiding it.
Now I hadn't watched the show yet... and tried my best not to, but like I said: Being overly bullied by my haters, and seeing it everywhere I went was already bad enough.
At the stage of life I was in... Friendship and were already on bad terms. We didn't get on too well. Oh, sure, I have offline friends (Still have some, whom I've known for almost 20 years)
What I mean is: I don't really believe in the power of friendship. I had already decided that "Friendship, and True Love DO NOT really conquer all" and the experiences I've had in life, and the things I've seen further drove me to strengthen that resolve!
This episode of Teen Titans 2003 (THINGS CHANGE) had, for the past 6 years then, more than intensified my already soreness with Friendship and True Love already.
FIM and knowing what it stood for (The power of Friendship) was already causing me to get overly angry and lose sleep (Again: Still hadn't watched it yet) But the pain sure hurt...
Then... the FINAL STRAW was drawn!
Toxic Bronies were going around YouTube, bullying people "Like MLP and bask in the glories of Friendship" and if they didn't, they got bullied just like I did, and even were thrown a few death threats.
NEVER... had I seen such stupidity!
What the heck was wrong with these people? It's as if they had lost their grip on reality. (Friendship and True Love can't REALLY solve all things. The show only makes it LOOK so easy because it's scripted that way. In Real life, it doesn't always work)
From being bullied, myself, to being haunted by my already aching pain, betrayal, and distastes to the concept of Friendship, and coupled with my anger at THINGS CHANGE and other shows I saw that let me down... I snapped!
I couldn't sleep well (Too angry, and too upset with things to do so) So I'd have to make fics about it to help calm me down, and maybe get people re-acquainted with concepts of reality they seem to have forgotten.
Of course, I couldn't do that WITHOUT actually watching the show first. (You can't really write about something you know little to nothing about)
No one forced me to watch it-- I did it out of my own choice.
So I watched the first 2 eps and I realized... MLP isn't what I thought it was... IT WAS WAY WORSE!!! At least now I knew what I was hating and why (I was entitled to a proper opinion, instead of being like my prick-haters who don't even read the stories first and just judge off the bat)
Never had I seen anything so incredibly ridiculous! I didn't think I could go any further than the first 2 eps.
Aware: It was a kids show, and true... sometimes friendship DOES work, but not like this. Many kids shows I saw in my life dealt with more mature subjects, like death, divorce, people with emotional problems. (Even Care Bears had better dignity than this!)
So... I launched my first MLP fic "My Little Unicorn: Magic is Believing" An action-packed, sci-fi adventures, involving MOTWs and battling like Power Rangers-- complete with super powers, weapons, and usual stuff (Save for some things)
It was also my way of showing that Friendship cannot always solve things, and that bad things that FIM ignores STILL happen no matter how hard you try and make not.
The show focused around other dimensions, and my Space Ponies were only anthropomorphic (They still had hooves, but wore magic gloves to serve as hands)
It seemed okay at the start, but even I began to realize it needed work. I had no choice, but to KEEP watching MLP and studying it (Leaning more about Equestria... what I hated about it... and what I wanted to change) the series got worse and worse to me as it progressed, with the character seemingly growing more, and more incompetent and blinded by Friendship.
Anyway...
That's when I happened on THIS TV show...
STAR FLEET X-BOMBER
I liked it, but it was really it's OUTRO CREDITS that got me going...
"STAR FLEET... (Star Fleet)"
"STAR FLEET... (Star Fleet)"
That's when the lights click on inside me, and I reworked my story a bit...
MY BRAVE PONY: STARFLEET MAGIC
Starfleet: An Intergalactic Military Defense Organization (Mainly consisting of Humanoid Ponies) whose mission is to battle troublesome aliens and creatures from all over, and maintain peace and order throughout the universe!
A world with more dangerous, stronger villians, and where Friendship won't always save you this time. (I said "won't always" not "Never!")
(Skip to 1:15)
YES!!! It was working (For me at least)
I didn't like FIM the way it was, so... like most people who make fanfiction, I turned it into something I consider less nauseating and I could let my PERSONAL PREFERENCES/SPITE have their say with it.
-I can beat up these characters (the Equestrians) for making me sick with their pathetic ways, and horrendous character traits.
(They don't even learn from or remember their own lessons from previous eps, and just keep making the same mistakes again, and again)
-Find people who still have FIRM HEADS (Aren't blinded or bought in by all this "Friendship" and "Pacifism" nonsense)
-It helps me control my anger and stress (I can let off steam in a non-destructive way, which is actually considered very healthy)
-I can get more of what I WANT TO SEE!! (Namely MOTW action)
-And most importantly... Showing all my haters and bullies "You can't tell me what I can and cannot do/write about this series"
(It makes them angry that I take their precious, and beloved characters and thrash them about... THE SAME WAY THEY DID TO ME FOR YEARS PRIOR.) Paybacks are SWEET!!
I'm very proud of how far my series has come, and I look forward to continuing it no matter what those Pricks say, or all the down-votes they try.
They've been bullying me for years and years, they've being trying to get me kicked off, they DEMAND I go away, they even tried bullying Tara Strong into hating me for it...
It's all Academic: They've tried to stop me, and they've failed.
LONG LIVE STARFLEET MAGIC (The way I make it)
Congrats
Merry Christmas and happy 10 year anniversary!
Congratulations: 10 years of Starfleet Magic

Yes, and No...
It's not like Wizards and Mages, but more like Power Rangers or DC heroes.
