Q&A · 2:48am July 29th
Got a question (or two, or a thousand) to ask me?
As long as it doesn't require personal information, I'll try to answer it.
However, I reserve the right to refuse to answer something.
(This is mainly for my followers, but anyone is welcome.)
(I know I said "a thousand", but be reasonable, please.)
Other than Golden Harvest (or Carrot Top, depending on what you like), who's your other favorite background character
Great! So first…
What is your full name, I need first then middle then last (if you have more than one middle name I’ll need that as well) I then need you to describe what you look like in the level in detail that you would give a police sketcher. Then I’ll of course need your exacts height and weight (if you can give in centimeters and grams that would be swell). After that you need to give your address, phone number, email, Gmail, google password, bank account, and social security number. I will then need you to tell me where you work, what your hours are, and the name of your boss, as well as your salary (net and gross). Nest I’ll need your bank records as well as you bills and bill information as well as your credit card number. Then I need to know you food preferences, like favorite types of food when you usually eat each meal, how many meals you eat etc. Sorry to bore you with so many semantics, I just need to get this out of the way so when we meet I can go ahead and ask you the personal stuff, you know how it is.
Man, there are so many different ways that I could have fun with this, but I'll try to be serious. One of the best questions that I ever found on someone's user page is "What if you were a pony?" I'll expand on that and ask What if you woke up in Ponyville tomorrow as your OC? What would you say to Carrot Top?
Also, to follow up on ThUndEr HoOof's questions, what is your Fimfiction password? I'd like to log into your account and post a passionate blog about how Derpy is Best Pony.
Finally, super cereal here, what if Chad?
Edit: Oops, I meant to say "I promise that I won't log into your account and post a passionate blog about how Derpy is Best Pony."
As I was getting ready to go to bed, I thought of another question: Are you still thinking about visiting Horseshoe Lake this summer?
What originally got you into music?

Carrot Top, but I have no dislike for Golden Harvest at all.
Y'know, I'm not sure. Derpy/Vinyl/Lyra kind of tie.
5795094
I love ya man.
5795095
Huh.
I know I wouldn't crazily bombard her with questions or anything. I'd try to do what I could to actually be her friend.
But I gotta have the ability to bring my music with me, or all bets are off. I have no wish-fulfillment fics ideas that I've thought of before, absolutely none.
5795102
Cairo and that stuff? Yep, I have not forgotten.
5795111
Good, this one I like a lot. Well, I mean, I never didn't like music, but I've definitely started appreciating it a lot more in the past few years. Sorry Gizmo guy, hehe.
<ahem>
Well, about spring '22 I found out about Bluey, and while I never just watched it myself, I enjoyed seeing it whenever younger relatives of mine watched it. The voice actor of the dad on that show is named David McCormack, whose was in a band called Custard in the 90's (that became active again around 2010). I listened to that band a lot starting around November of that year, and was able to buy a few of their albums anywhere from that time to spring '23 (idk exactly when.)
I watched MLP for the first time in March. Somewhere early on I found these two videos (just for context, I expect no one to watch them).
which were PMV's of two Weird Al polka medleys, where he takes parts of a bunch of songs and puts them together, well, in polka form.
I became interested in listening to what the actual songs were, and that resulted (although some came much later) in like three albums from different bands that I bought (though one was one I had already known about for a long time). And I've since gotten another album from one of those bands as well. Bought the two Weird Albums (lololol) as well, though I don't listen to the often at all.
I know Custard introduced me to a few other Australian bands that I own a cd from, as well as a few other bands they simply covered songs from.
And basically, I already liked the idea of getting CD's, so as I found other bands through a variety of reasons, I of course wanted to own their albums.
One of those was Anthropology , yes, the fic, which introduced me directly to two bands, and very, very, indirectly to another one.
There's been plenty of non-mlp reasons to explain this, but the MLP part is important enough to not ignore.
However, ever since I basically started spewing out what I like about music on here, even before my blogs when I just plain asked people what they liked when they followed me, it's been a vicious cycle of music reminding me of MLP and vice versa.
They're almost inseparable at this point.
TLDR; jk you have to read the whole thing

And with the other question, I don't really know much else. Maybe Vinyl would have a position open of she really ran a radio station or something. I'd love that, especially if I would actually in that scenario somehow get to pick what was broadcast.
5795094
But do you also have an actual question?
I'm happy to answer.
5795138
Yeah, so (other than Carrot Top) who is your favorite pony? Which season of the show is your favorite and what is your favorite franchise?
Also your little TLDR troll was funny :)
What would you list as the most important aspects of the fandom, personally?
What are your thoughts on the fandom's current state of existence?
What is the most overerrated fanfic you ever read on here?
Wow, mans is already doing a Q&A, moving up in the world I see 😂
5795148
Eh, Geo's inspired me.
Got a Q?
5795142
Probably Rainbow Dash. Boring, I know, but it is what it is.
Season? I don't really know, as I've only been through the series once. Maybe 4 or 5.
Favorite franchise?
This.
This one.
I also like my fair share of sitcoms (The office, King of the Hill, etc.) though.
I've spent so much time reading fanfics of this that it isn't even funny.
I did like the Marvel movies, and still do, but they've gotten worse over the years.
5795143
Busting out the big ones, I see.
I'd say the creativity that you find everywhere and the people who are actually decent human beings.
Well, as I'm a very new fan (Mar '23) I am somewhat biased, but it definitely (at least on fimfic) doesn't seem to be dying out as much as people say it is.
Overrated? I definitely liked it, and everyone should read it, but there are plenty of fanfics, even hundreds, that are better than My Little Dashie. Even the author agrees it's overrated.
5795159
Tbh, while I knew Rainbow Dash was popular and all, I didn’t know it was to the extent of being considered a boring opinion, I personally have always liked Applejack and Fluttershy the most.
Also, as for marvel, for me, most all of it was phenomenal, endgame was kind of a mixed bag with me, same as infinity war.
What a shame it ended there an NO OTHER marvel content was made, yes what a shame…
Lastly, speaking of Fluttershy, I couldn’t help but remember when you impersonated her, to which I say…
Identity theft is not a joke Tape Deck! Millions of lives suffer every year!
5795167
They are of no matter to me. (the lives).
Iron Man 3 and Winter Soldier are both excellent.
5795161
When I asked that question, I considered how I would answer it and quickly realized that technically, My Little Dashie is probably the single most overrated MLP fanfic. The mathematics of it being the most well-known fanfic by quite a large measure (other than "Cupcakes", maybe), make it difficult for it to avoid being overrated.
If you were taken back in time to 2011 and given full control of the show's production, from the start of season two onwards, what would you do differently?
5795187
Honestly, I'm not the Mixmaster225 guy, but the only changes I would really make would be to S9. And only a couple of minor things here and there.
And honestly, I was satisfied enough with the ending, I just would have preferred Twilight to not be big at the end.
I'd be satisfied with simply that one change.
Although, more seasons (as long as the writing didn't decline) would have been nice.
Maybe throw Carrot Top in more often just because.
5795158
Yea. What happened to your name?
5795209
Just switched it to my username I've used for everything but fimfic for years.
It'll be back to normal even as soon as tonight.
5795208
I am only familar with the first four seasons, past that point I mostly just have cultural osmosis to inform me. From what I can tell, the later seasons aren't bad. As long as you keep a positive attitude and focus on the bright side, almost anything can be enjoyed and be found valuable. (I personally view the show as a jumping-off point for a multiverse of posibilities.)
I will admit though; when I asked that question, I was anticipating a restructuring of the show's story structure and narrative focus.
5795172
I concur, it’s been awhile since I’ve seen IM 3, but winter soldier is friggen awesome!
5795211
Oh I don't find any of MLP unenjoyable.
Seriously, unless I gave it a lot of thought, I wouldn't change most things, except maybe Mysterious Mare Do Well, but I think that's a common gripe with how the Mane 6 treated Dash.
5795225
BUCKY!
5795277
Who’s Bucky?
*ominous music*
5795281
Oh, I mean John Candy. The Uncle guy.
5795282
Tbh, I never heard of him, a quick internet search showed what looks like a good movie.
Your fine attempt at humor would have been quite funny if it had not been for my inexperience with its source material.
Henceforth, when you desire to delve into the comedic arts, it would be most wise of you to be more knowledgeable in precisely what films and fictions I am familiar with. After all, I matter so much more than any other human being on this planet, wouldn’t you say?
5795304
Nope, and I actually am pretty much as unfamiliar with that movie as you. Seen it basically once, and only remember one scene.
5795306
Ngl, referencing something your barely familiar with because you randomly thought of it is very relatable.
5795187
If I was given control of MLP in season 2, the first thing I'd do is bring back Lauren Faust!! No Twilicorn, Cadance would've been a simple unicorn, and the show would've been much better!
After "Canterlot Wedding," I would've brought in Fluffle Puff to reform Chrysalis. Also, if the princesses still decided to retire in the final season, it would've happened after the time skip into the future, when Twi was actually old enough to rule.
I haven't seen anything after season 5, but I do have onions. And opinions. Mostly onions. 🧅 🧅
Seriously, I have a ton of Egyptian Walking Onions in my yard.

My self-insert started out as pure wish fulfillment, until it grew into a full story. However, my OC, Cornflower, is largely rich and famous for introducing Equestria to this world's music and movies/TV. His best-selling book is "Groundhog Day," but he prefers his original fiction. F**k, I feel so awkward talking about my story.
If I ever try to post it, I may just do excerpts. I'd better post this before I delete it.

I think that general perspective is one shared by many of our brony brethren over the years. The thing about it is that whenever a choice is made to do one thing, the choice to not do a multitude of other things is made simultaneously. Making the show more narratively consistent with the general perspective held by most at the end of the first season would have opened the door to a number of new possibilities, while at the same time, closing the door on a number of different ones. This is not a negative statement, merely an inherent function of the nature of reality and choices. I think that the show could have been taken in nearly any direction and still had a good enough core, guiding concept to be great. But yes, my inner cravings for consistency agree with you.
I know nothing about Fluffle Puff, other than the facts that she exists, is associated with Chrysalis, and is featured in some fan animations.
That looks like a lovely plant to have easy viewing access to.
5795319
Heck, dude.
I basically said the same thing in a comment on a different blog post yesterday.
5795330
Ooh, I like this.
5795333
Hey, I understand what you're feeling, but that does sound interesting.
