A Brony's Dilemma · 3:02am Aug 5th, 2014
I bought cupcakes... Like Pinkie level cupcakes... not "Cupcakes" Pinkie level cupcakes... so no ponies in the cakes... anyway yeah that really only have very little to do with my dilemma... see I have found that I have some extra money because I bought the muffins from the reduced price bin... anyway...I have extra money... I want something good.
In all honesty I am a very lonely young man... I have found at times that it is nice that when lonely one might have something soft to hold close... Yes some men would get a girlfriend... others would get a boyfriend, but I think that one wouldn't work for me because I've always found women to be softer than men... also they smell like fruit sometimes, other times they can smell like cinnamon or vanilla... okay I'm falling down the path of crazy. Let's get to the point! Sorry guys, I just like the ladies, but sorry ladies, I'm not in a life situation where a romantic relationship would be very good for me or the lovely lady on my arm. Right, the point... sorry...
I want to buy a pony plush... See most of you would say, "Whatever, that's really not that crazy when you think about the people who frequent this sight." However in my case this is an interesting step in my development as a brony. See when I first called myself a brony I set some ground rules. 1: I will never write fanfiction... see how long that lasted? 2: I will not buy pony merchandise unless it is for my niece... yeah I bought some of the trading cards... I use Fluttershy as a bookmark when I'm reading Hellsing... 3: I will never, never ever ever wear a My Little Pony shirt... I have four shirts now that I wear regularly... 4: and this one was the most important, I will not buy the toys... Hasbro may have my soul but it will never have my money... yes I know I already bought merch and shirts and now I have a fluttershy on my collection shelf... It's just a high shelf where I display all the odd things I've collected over the years. I'll take a picture if anyone is interested... Number five actually came after that as a last ditch effort to maintain my... not entirely a brony-ness... 5: I will not buy a stuffed pony...
The dilemma is not should I buy a plushie. I will buy a plushie... I so far want three that I have seen so far... Due to prices I can afford either one, or two... I can't decide which I want first... I can either get a Chrysalis plushie or I can get a Fluttershy and a Sweetie-Belle... so yeah...
Okay on to the real business at hand, if you made it this far through my incoherant ramblings you have just earned a sneak peek into the uncharted depths of my brain meats... or I guess this is a story update thing.
First, To be her Mother has a wonderfully exciting new chapter in the works. It will feature everypony... well not every pony, but more like nearly every pony we've already introduced so far. It will be like a party.
Next I still have some one-shots in the works... one is a story inspired by a picture... I have not even started writing it so... I probably should not have said anything... Don't anticipate it! It won't be good! Um... think about the worst story idea ever... that is it... yeah...
Okay the next small story is kind of inspired by I Dream of Jeanie... it is slow going, I've just been more inspired with other things for a while also work is killing me. Sorry I just worked our busiest weekend of the year with a crew of newbies and a boss that won't let me destroy mankind... right sorry... um... next?
This one is the one I am actively writing right now... it might be a mature fic... so sorry to all y'all folks who don't read mature stories. All that said I still stand by my determination to not write clop ever. This is going to be graphically violent! You want a preview? Well I can't... it's against the rules to put violence in a blog post. However I can give you the short description as a teaser... it wqill be spoiler hidden if you don't want to see it.
Flash Sentry has committed an unforgivable sin. Now it’s up to Twilight’s friends to find justice... or at least violent revenge.
It will be tagged as Comedy Romance... because I can... also because that is what the story will involve... also I don't have a title yet. I hope to finish it by Wednesday, but you know how that works sometimes... right? RIGHT!? Okay that's it, I'm spent... see y'all next time for more Adventures into the cold dark spaces between Mayhew's brain wrinkles...
Nothing wrong with buying merch. I made a blog yesterday showing what little merch I have.
2344222 I will read this blog! For science!
You think you got enough Pinkie Plushies? Wow I think you and I have the same Fluttershy. Well one of yours looks the same as my only Fluttershy vinyl figure... so it is very likely that we have the same pony... also...
LITTLE MERCH?! Are you mad? Hasbro has less MLP related merch than you... okay maybe not but you know what I mean... Wow... Nice collection though. Many many plushie ponies for hugging
I have very little merch as well. The little collection I have has grown this past weekend, but not by much.
I want a plushie too. Consider checking out Build A Bear workshop, because the money grab plushies they have are surely cheaper than most non-mass-produced fan ones.
BTW, how does your niece view your love of MLP?
Eh, I've never been too much of a fan of Chrysalis, so I say go for Fluttershy and Sweetie Belle.
But that's just my opinion. Do whatever you want to do for yourself.
2344326 Actually The build a bear workshop is where I have found the Fluttershy and Sweetie Belle want to buy.
2344329 Well I have three nieces(each from a different sibling...) so let's start with the oldest. She actually had an illness when she was very young and is now nonverbal and mentally about five or six even though physically she is sixteen. She has so much fun when we watch the show together, she laughs and smiles and dances through the opening and I love seeing her happy.
The next oldest at fifteen claims to be like her father and is just making fun of it(and me) when I watch and she is around. But I think I'm converting her... YAY!
The youngest(the one I'm talking about in the blog) is seven... or six... anyway she is on the other side of the country from me and she doesn't know about my love of ponies, but the moment her dad gets some leave and they can come up this way, I have a shirt for her. The shirt has the same picture as one of mine and features both her favorite pony(Rainbow Dash) and mine(Derpy Hooves) So I think she will love it.
2344337 Plus if I get both Flutters and Sweetie it means I will have to soft ponies instead of one... but I love Chrysalis... Maybe I'll save my money and get all three at the same time... yeah... that works.
I have a couple plushies, a poster, one shirt and some socks. I'd like to get a gigantic Rainbow Dash plushie/ pillow to cuddle with.
2344720 Yeah... that's adorable... though if I got a giant plushie to cuddle it would have to be Luna.
