    No thanks. No motivation for that anymore.

    Hi. I still exist.

    Don't really go on here any more. It's a shame but the MLP fandom has lost its touch for me.
    I still like the show (although I have yet to finish Season 5) but you know.

    Anyone who watches me still active? Well, I know one of you is, but no idea about the rest.

    Hi predator, if you see this.

    Hello! I still exist!

    So...as you may have noticed, I haven't been around much. School is very time-consuming, and Pony isn't my main fandom anymore, so there's that. I have 136 unread story chapters as of right now. My profile picture is still the same. My password is still the same (not that I ever revealed it). My email address is still unverified because the staff still haven't added me back to the mailing list.

    New Cutie Mark for Thoughtful Mind!

    I've been meaning to update that little thing for a while now, and I've finally sat down for an hour and produced something new.

    Don't know why I didn't think of a book before. Comments, thoughts, opinions are much anticipated!

    It's been a year…

    Well. It's certainly been an awful long time since I last posted one of these. It's funny, how I always had something to talk about every few days…

    The reason I post this today is because today is when I guess (I'm unsure of the exact date, unfortunately) I first watched MLP. I can't believe an entire year has passed by since that fateful day.

    Well.

    Imagine my surprise when I came home at ~11.30pm after what was essentially a completely chock-full day, only to discover that the earlier-seen 502s would lead up to this. It somewhat annoys me that there is currently no visible way of reaching the desktop site when using my iPod(s), because the mobile site now loads by default on them. While [the mobile site] has been improved beyond measure,

CRASH!!! · 4:14pm Nov 26th, 2012

Ow... that kind of hurt. If you're wondering what happened, see below.













THE BRONY CLOSET OF MINE IS NO MORE!!! :yay:

Well, now that I'm done here, I need to leave this room, wherever the heck 'this room' is.

*tries door handle*

What the-? Oh, crap! I forgot to tell my parents! :facehoof:

Well, I'm half out. It... didn't go too well.

So what did they say? :pinkiehappy:

Elaboration time!

It happened during Chemistry. A certain acquaintance of mine (who has known of my bronyhood for a few weeks) was pestering me. More specifically, threatening to blackmail me with my secret (29 free internets to the person who guesses what the secret is) if I didn't say a certain word which I find inappropriate in public use (for the record, I don't swear. I don't really mind other people doing it, but I don't. I just don't.).

So, here I was, with a near life-threatening decision to make. I took a massive risk. I took a deep breath, looked the girl who my acquaintance was planning to reveal my secret to in the eye and said:

"I'm a brony."

Call me crazy, if you will.

I received a confused look. Clearly, she didn't know what a brony was. So, my awfully, incredibly amazing acquaintance took the unexpected liberty of getting out his iPad to show her exactly what a 'brony' was. Unfortunately, being him, he didn't just show her a definition. It was, in fact, this exact picture:

...

Actually, I couldn't find it. Never mind. :unsuresweetie:

Anyway, the first reaction was, naturally, laughter. She then gave me this odd look and said:

You... Collect po-

Dadadadada! was my interruption. This continued for a bit until the end of Chemistry.

Then, I had a private word with her, saying that is was a TV show, and my 'obsession' was actually merely a hobby. I then asked her politely not to tell anyone.

I shouldn't have bothered.

Geography went smoothly enough, and my acquaintance realised exactly how big s mess he had just caused, then agreed to try and help me fix this before the problem got too big. The attempt was an utter failure.

The chaos began when a guy in my year saw me and started saying "my little pony, my little pony" in the most self-esteem crushing way possible. I then tried to outrun him with my acquaintance. We went through the canteen to tell one of the more understanding friends of mine of the now serious problem. He wasn't really much help, so we needed to find the true extent of the damage. Two girls simultaneously saying 'brony' to my face didn't help my mood much.

So, down we went to the Link. I sat at a table with my acquaintance, then a group of boys came over and asked "are you a brony?"

Time to fix this, I thought.

"Yes, I am. You got a problem with that?" Gosh, that felt good.

"No, it's just a bit... Weird." Typical.

I went outside to the English mobile and sat near the tennis courts. Then, the worst nightmare occurred. A group of those social addict type girls came over. Naturally, they knew. I was asking them why they felt it necessary to pester me about it, then one girl randomly said that she was one. :rainbowhuh:

She then said that she talked all the time to SapphireBlitz about it (btw, to you, it was J. Rankin). I... Don't believe her. Then, the girls left and there was pretty much no mention of it at all.

Okay, Time to get is straight
So your acquaintance (Ryan Simpson) had shown her the definition of what is a brony and showed an image...
Could I ask what the image contained? :rainbowderp:
Also about the girl you told that you were a brony, that was quite a bad idea wasn't it... :facehoof:
Considering more than half of our year in the school are social addicts its no big deal that they think we are weird; In fact, when I started being a brony (back in 2010) I was a closet brony. But then I met some other bronies, who helped me overcome the shyness. So I decided to also leave the idea of being a closet brony and told people.

...

It wasn't such a great idea. :facehoof:
The very next day, people crowded me,calling me gay, saying that I apparently wanked over ponies and that I was a freak. But you know what, I didn't even care. :scootangel:

Trust me, after some time, it will be forgotten by the people. In fact someone else might become a brony! (It could be influenced by another or just becoming one on their own)
I could go on about my self esteemed, but it isn't necessary!

And just to clarify, she is in fact a brony! :rainbowlaugh:

541582
:rainbowhuh: You're joking. Why the heck didn't you say anything before??? Also, why have those three not commented on this thing yet???


541516 Yeeeikes! Wow, that could have gone a bit better!:applejackunsure: I suppose that's why sometimes it's better not to tell anyone about these kinda things. Although if that guy was holding it over you like that...
Still, although I don't know you in the real world, Thoughtful, I certainly hope that this situation turns out alright, or at least, doesn't get any worse. Truly, my heart goes out to you, and I wish you the best of luck. :heart: You've got more courage than me, that's for sure...

...Oh, and how's the finger, by the way?:twilightsheepish:

The image was two (male) bronies holding up 2 inch figurines of Pinkie Pie and somepony else while sitting in a car. The guys looked... happy.

In fact, when I started being a brony (back in 2010) I was a closet brony.

Honestly, I'm not surprised.

The very next day, people crowded me,calling me gay, saying that I apparently wanked over ponies and that I was a freak.

Looks like I have plenty to look forward to. :eeyup:

Trust me, after some time, it will be forgotten by the people. In fact someone else might become a brony! (It could be influenced by another or just becoming one on their own)

Good. Let me ponder who the 'someone' could possibly turn out to be... :trixieshiftright:

541923
Well, that was... rather heartfelt. Good on you! :twilightsmile:

Perhaps we'll meet someday...

Oh, and, the finger is getting along fine. Physical pain has stopped (unless heavy pressure is applied) and I can type normally again! :pinkiehappy: Remind me not to mess with penknives again... :pinkiesad2:

542103 Uh, thanks...:twilightsheepish:

By the way, don't mess with penknives again, Thoughtful! :pinkiehappy:

Man, if that happened to me, I would just flip out! Itching all over my body, making wierd noises, looking around crazily, and probably flip backwards into space!
It is good that this has happened though, no longer must you be afraid, show your Brony pride til' the end of your days! I will never remove my
Rainbow Dash necklace.... NEVER! :rainbowdetermined2:
MY SKOOL HAD BRONIES ALL UP OVER AND IN IT! cdn.memegenerator.net/instances/250x250/20288450.jpg

542276
This is why I picked out the 'I'm on Crack' t-shirt. You know, you could be great friends with SapphireBlitz, you're both slightly crazy.

I must know how many bronies there are in your school. Sapphire says there are at least 9 in ours.

I did mention that he's in my year, didn't I? :applejackunsure:

Anyway, let me tell you of the Great Window of Ponies in the ICT Department.

I still have no idea who did it, Sapphire knows, but I can't be bothered meeting them. Basically, one of the windows looking into the iMac Suite is covered in lots...and lots...and lots of pictures of ponies. Well actually, ponies and a dragon. Numbers are something along the lines of this:

- 6 Applejacks
- 9 Rainbow Dashes (3 added today)
- 9 Twilights (all added today)
- 8 Spikes (all added today)

Pictures coming soon.

542334 I dunnoooooo but I kept finding more every day. Last year was my last year, I found this group of about 10, this group of five, and a bunch of pegasisters and others. I can't remember the number!
Pictures.... ICT department.... iMac Suite? Wtf you talkin' about? Dem pics, I wanna see 'em. Kthxlol.

542349
In which case, yes, we and our loyal subjects are jelly, thine Radical Prescott. Bewarneth - thou shalt not be smug for long time coming. #NeedstobeaLunaemoticon

Pictures.... ICT department.... iMac Suite? Wtf you talkin' about?

I wasn't aware this vocabulary was particularly enstraining to the neurological cortex. :trollestia:

542382 I don't know what ICT or an iMac suite is.... I NEVER HEARD O' NO IMAC SUITES OR ICTs' BEFORE.

542402 I don't even know what to say to that. :shrugs:
Americans...

542415 You don't even know? EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT AN ICT department is! I'm guessing that iMACs' are big piece of crap computers exactly like the one in my room with the monitor and computer in one device.... if that's so.... then I wonder why you guys have iMACs' anyway.

542481 It's a room. Full of computers. Where you do stuff. On the computers. Sencillo!

544646
Thank you for that. I had written out and submitted a short lecture, but FiMfiction decided to be stupid, and now it's all gone. :raritydespair:

As promised, here is the Great Window of Ponies.

Luna is kind, and shares a beautiful full moon with us.

And now, an update on the COotBC (Coming Out of the Brony Closet)!

Things started swimmingly, with only one mention at breaktime, to which I ignored. It all went a bit awry after lunch, once people started asking me the dreaded questions.

"So, [my real name], who's your favourite pony? Twinkle Dash? Rainbow Dash? Cutie Pie?

Had I thought of it at the time, I would have said confidently "Actually, it's gotta be Applejack." I also considered smashing his face in, but I just walked away silently. How petty of me.

There was some small talk in the library, but it was the last I heard of it today.

Also, here's Luna's great full moon again, two hours later. :rainbowwild:

Since we are posting pictures of Luna's gift
Here! : http://imgur.com/xIrcE

Good to see you like it.

It's a common misconception that the Moon is called Luna. The Princess of the Night actually named it Lunos (essentially a male version of Luna), partially after her own name, but not too much so that she sounded arrogant. Also, if she were to name it Luna, it would almost certainly cause confusion and (possibly) panic among the uneducated, because of the confirmation of the actual existence of Equestria and its residents. :twilightsmile:

Note: At least 73% of the information in the previous paragraph is false.

DAILY COotBC UPDATE!!! :yay:

And here I thought it was going to be bad.

Only mentions of The Event were at breaktime, when I finally unleashed my Applejack statement, 100% confirming that I was, indeed a brony. There was minor nagging about it, but nothing I couldn't handle.

The real surprise came in the last two periods, which happened to be Art. While I was looking for a template to chalk around onto my waxed cloth, I simply overheard a voice ask:

"[Classmate], are you a brony?"

While it was unexpected, it started a chain reaction, geared directly towards me. Following the three C's of coping with stress, I remained Cool, Calm and Collected. It somehow worked, when another guy seemed to want to know more. Even once I had threaded the needle and begun to sew (for the first time in my living memory), he seemed unusually keen to ask me questions.

"What actually is a brony?"

This got a blank stare from me.

"Well, I know they're boys who like My Little Pony, but what actually are they?

Another blank stare.

I hurriedly told him about the different generations of MLP (it didn't really help that he hardly knew what My Little Pony even was), but his genuine interest was pulling at me. The fact that he called me his 'brony-pal' halfway through the second period was not at all subtle. I proceeded to tell him about what the fandom does, when I had an idea.

"You should watch Ballad of the Brony."

He took up on the offer. Afterwards, he seemed convinced enough to give the show a try as well.

You know what this means? I may very well be on my way to have essentially single-handedly converted a non-brony in less than an hour. :moustache:

Thoughts? :duck:

548722 Death to conversion, alonzo hulu chocolate bar! You wern't actually trying to convert him though, so points to you. Victory for the Brony Alliance!

549675
Well, yeah. Technically, he agreed to give it a shot without hassle, so I wasn't pestering him about it - just helping him along. We'll see where this has lead by 6:00PM GMT. It'd be nice to have him as a fellow brony, but he told me that (if he liked it) he would never tell some other guys in my class.

549977 Yes, they would probably beat him to death, and then t-bag his corpse.
Well, that's what I would do atleast. (In a video game of course.)

549992
The only video games I'm certain you can do both of those in are Oblivion and Skyrim. Take your pick so I can correctly visualise.

551300 Oblivion, but I was thinking of Gears of War and Halo. So much blood in Gears of War... I LOVE TO ROLL IN THE GORE! *squishin' an a squelchin'*

Hey Thoughtful! Oh my goodness man! I am so sorry that I haven't talked to you in soooooo long. Really, I am being completely legit here. It's just that, well... My great grandmother died, and my grandmother is on intensive care from having a stoke. And it also doesn't help that my friend's grandmother passed away and I've been helping her cope with that. But, anyway! I really don't want you worry about that. How've ya been? I see that you've revealed your bronyness to the world. I say it's been going quite well. I remember quite well the time I did the same you did. Not sure if anyone cares for me to tell it, but I will if someone wants me too. I would now, but this comment is really all I have the steam for. ('cause now I'm sad.)

544959
Yes. So much yes. All of my yes. I want that so bad.

Peace man, I'll see you tomorrow. But seriously, don't worry about me. Worry about your own problems, I'll tell you my story tomorrow, and maybe give you some advice.

557405
Uh… I'm sorry. Seriously, though, I've never had a close relative pass, so I'm not great at sympathising.

ANYWAY…

Well, things aren't really going too bad. About the revealing thing, there was a big thing at lunch the other day - lots of questions were asked, and a "just because you're gay" did not go unnoticed. However, Sapphire Blitz was there to back me up. :eeyup:

And, to everyone else, the guy who was interested in the whole concept...

Well, he told me he watched the first 20 minutes or so of Ballad of the Brony, then put on the first episode. Apparently he got round to the Apple Family Reunion before stopping (he didn't really elaborate on that part).

Sapphire recommended I show him Lesson Zero, so I emailed him it along with The Manliest Brony in the World and Becoming a Brony.

In other news, I discovered how to use the correct combination of links, websites, file types and synchronisation to convert a YouTube video into an MP4 suitable for iPad use. I successfully managed to put This Day Aria in 1080p into the videos. :twilightsmile:

558636 You have my apologies for not replying about your last update. Good to hear things going (relatively) well! However, I was wondering if you could enlighten me on something... What is this 'Ballad of the Brony'? A lecture would be appreciated. You seem to be good at those!:pinkiehappy:

564899
A YouTube Brony called SaberSpark uploaded a video called Ballad of the Brony a while ago. It's basically a fan-made documentary where he explores the history of MLP, the current show (and its plots (storylines), characters and other details), the bronies and their history, the fandom and something else. Can't remember.

It's a little over an hour long, but it's a great watch for fans and others alike. If you have some free time, you should go check it out. :pinkiesmile:

558636
Well, I'm good now. Sick, but good. I hope I didn't worry you with my rl problems, that's not bothering people on the internet is all about! Anyway, when introducing people to mlp, I've always found to skip all of the fan videos and just go straight to an episode. The pilot, while may be the first two episodes, may not be the best place to start. What I do is just find one that may interest them. Lesson Zero, I agree will be what a lot of people will find something they like in, being a more action orientated episode. Well, that's the one that worked with this guy who liked MW games...

Well, I'm actually surprised that your revealing caused such a ruckus. I mean, a Q&Neigh session? You must be popular or something. The biggest thing that happened to me, and this was quite recent, was that I had to sing the Cupcake song in my English One Class. We never do much in that class anyway, and this girl was just singing random popular pop songs, until this other girl who knew I was a brony said "Hey, (my name)! You should sing the Cupcake song!" So I was like "Naa man." and everyone was like "Yeah man, do it!"

So this 3rd girl offered me a chocolate bar and the teacher actually was going to give me extra credit. So I did it, and everyone actually clapped and no one did anything negative or anything. Don't know if anyone cares, but that's what happened.

But, for my big revealing, wasn't even as interesting. It was actually because of this girl saying something needed to be about 20 Percent Cooler (it was 2011, that joke hadn't gotten old yet!), and I was just "Oh my goodness! You're a brony!" and she said "Yeah". Anyway, someone must have overheard and told some people, because people started coming up to me saying stuff like "Do you really like My Little Pony?" and things like that. I of course denied nothing and people were just okay with it. I mean, besides what happened above and the incident with that black guy, nothing really interesting happened, except I that girl became my friend and it was the first time in school I wasn't all reclusive because she and I just formed this group of friends with these two other guys and we got really popular somehow even though I'm still extremely socially awkward.

I see it as a duty to reply to your long comment with… a long comment.

Perhaps, for better understanding, I should have revealed a little more of my background. I, for lack of a better term, had a reputation. Actually, scratch that - I still have it, but ever since the whole thing started last Monday, it seems to be slowly crumbling - honestly, it's no big surprise. Some people over here are just completely intolerant to sudden change, so they resorted to the one thing which they seem to think helps them cope. This varies between individuals, but the general target for those who haven't been given the information they should have about these things is, in short, bullying. I could go on about the irony of the ordeal (considering the message of MLP:FiM is the complete opposite), but it's not really that hard to understand.

Your story, while it seems reasonably uneventful or non-impacting, I find it quite interesting. I'm glad that most people didn't really let the fact that you watch an (alleged) show for little girls change their opinion about you. I guess it just proves that some people are more tolerant than others. Over here, things are gradually dying down, but I expect it'll still be brought up in the weeks to come. Still, th only thing I can do is cope, so I'll be sure to do my best to do so. I suppose I should thank you (and the others in this chat) for your support in my case.

Your Cupcake song request… I'm not sure if much could convince me to do it. I hate singing, and, frankly, I'm pretty terrible at it too.

“and the teacher actually was going to give me extra credit.”

What do you mean by that?

572407
“and the teacher actually was going to give me extra credit.”
:facehoof:
I was meaning to say my teacher actually gave me extra credit for doing it. A free quiz grade, in fact! So yay me, moved my 92 right up to an A. :yay:

573727
She's going to retire after this year, so she does pretty much whatever she wants. :derpytongue2:

I remember long time ago when I had it, but kind of forgot how you get it.

And... I got nothing else. :pinkiesmile:

573754
I'll tell you soon, but the iPad is freaking out! :pinkiegasp: I'll get back to you ASAP...

Anyway... For the add-on emoticons, you'll need to go here. When the web page opens, you should see a little window at the top-right that says 'install'. Click it, and, depending on what web browser you're using, different things should happen.

- Firefox and Chromium (on Linux) should be fine.
- If you have Chrome, you'll need to install Tampermonkey (it's free, and very quick) first.
- Anything else, I'm not sure.

578342
Well, that appears to be in good working order. :eeyup:

I just don't get why SapphireBlitz would go round spreading false rumours about me 'watching pony porn'. For one thing, it was ONE chapter in an otherwise mostly non-sexual fanfic (When a Pony Calls), for another, I technically read it, rather than watched, and finally, I didn't even enjoy it much.

583947
Okay then... Umm, are you sure you're not talking irl? I mean, I've read your comments that RD PonyearthVerse fic, (hehe, I'm a stalker) but why would anyone even assume that you took it as porn and enjoyed it? Where would he spread these rumors anyway? It's not as if he made a blog post or anything... You're a silly filly Thoughtful, you know that?

586296
Maybe I should have mentioned that it happened in real life. :eeyup: <--- I overuse this emoticon.

Oh, and nobody DARES to call me a 'silly filly'. Know that.

I don't believe I said anywhere that the fic in question was the PonyEarthVerse one. In fact, I specifically wrote its name: When a Pony Calls.

He spread the rumours at school.

And here is my first at-least-somewhat-professional-looking (complete) artwork. It's a request for an Omegler called Shadow Thrill. Or, at least, that's his pseudonym.

i.imgur.com/QFELX.png

Well, yeah I know. But, it was just mentioned that you read the fanfic when you were comment conversationalizing with Suomibrony, in the particular story, and that's where I know from where you read it, anyway.

Honestly, I was expecting a more descriptive response. Maybe predator will give me that.

587385 Well, Thoughtful, I am impressed! This is probably your best drawing that I've seen so far. Slightly marring it is the fact that it is a drawing of a black-coated, red-maned oc pony with a spooooky bat cutie mark...but the blame for that does not lie with you. I can tell that you are getting better, but maybe I will have some more specific notes when I wrest my laptop back from the thieving clutches of my brother.:twilightsheepish: Still, looks good!
