Yeh, I sorta tried to hate my way through the first episode, realised by the third I wasn't watching it out of irony. Had a breakdown by the fifth after I found myself laughing at everything Pinkie does in that one, then realised I was probably a brony and had a mental breakdown.

But then I got over it and by Sonic Rainboom I could say I was proud to like something so, AWESOME!

The only episode I didn't really like was the griffon one. I hated that griffon... That actually might have been ep 4 The rest of the episode was great though... So I actually did like it, while not liking some of it

Okay I'm fine with the thread name, we might as well keep the large post count we rightfully earned. But we should at least have a small emblem to either have as our signature or insert as part of our signature. Like the Cutie Mark Crusaders emblem!


And Incidium, watch more episodes. Trust me, you get more and more into it, then you realize you want to watch to whole season but you're not a brony. Then you watch them all, and with Flutter-rage to top it off (if you go in chronological order) you realize you wish there were more. Then you cross the threshold.

Ep 5. Ep 4 is Applebuck Season.

/Edit/

Also yes. We need an arty sort to make a TGC brony sig for us...

If Wolf still wants to make something else like he said earlier he could try it out. Not demanding anything, but, who knows. We could all take a swing at it too I suppose.

I think the CMC emblem is too tall
This is just a quick throw-together idea, but could something along this lines work, very simplistic of course.

I find this picture funny somehow

THen make it smaller. I was thinking we could do the CMC symbol to add to the signature we already have, if we already have one. Or we could take our favorite character of the show and change the cutie mark to that.

Well just incase I'll attach the tgc image w/ transparency I used if that's what you meant. We'll see what anyone else wants to do. I don't really care.

Nooo not a Lee Bamber, do a nerd! A neeeerd! And we'll put it in the TGC logo without the white letters inside. Then just stick it in the corner or make it bigger and use that alone.

Eyyup!

Gratz on the 666th post by the way.

/Edit/

Here's what I've come up with for a TGC pony. Dunno if we can do anything with it:

What I said was:

Make a nerd pony.
Put the nerd pony in a background of the blue circle with white rim TGC uses as a logo, but don't use the lettering in it.
Put that as our signature or put it in the corner of your signature.

I was also thinking we could use the TGC bubble, but then just put the entire whole of the main characters that you see in the intro in the bubble.

Edit: Looks like this is going to be a slow process, as we have no Quik.

Edit2: I've had a little time, so I'll bet my FanFic now at least makes some sense. Could be worth a read again (I say casually as interest in these things appears to be so increadibly random I'm just throwing darts blindfolded) So yup. Still puttering along over here.

I love that smily, used it on here for years. Other forums need that smily, it covers anything from sarcastic to happy.

It actually took me a moment to cotton onto what you did to the pic.

Also this song, I've suddenly found myself listening to the background music rips from this show. It's something I often overlooked but now I can see there's just as much love in it as there is in the voice acting, animation and everything else:

I dunno. I never noticed your ninja-edit there.

Although I did discover an Equestria Radio station. Some awesome remixes on there:

http://er.righteouschaps.co.uk/

Ironically, even from an anti-brony perspective, it's still better than the radio stations we have here.

Also my mate was having a car boot sale today, and told me he found a box of old MLP toys. Sarcy bugger said he kept me one, I told him I will have no part in his old, evil Hasbro merch.

That radio station is very impressive, although what they're playing right now is really weird.

I only just noticed when I came back to it that it actually has a schedule rather than a random mish-mash. (E.g., Wake Up With Fluttershy, Twilight's Slumber Party.)

Definitely want to listen to Raise the Moon.

Quote: "I'm just a bit curious, has anyone read any of my Fic yet, other than CG."


I've read through most of it. Been a busy day today, I set myself the challenge of lowering my pony intake for the day and comleting Metro 2033. (Horribly underrated game.)

Then I'll get round to finishing off my Stroudian inspired afterlife that I've been waiting to write.

Hey that's fine. Takes me forever to get into one anyways. There's way too many out there, and I always seem to pick the worst ones when I just randomly select (That's why I kept asking which ones you liked CG the star ratings are of very little help)

I really want to hear wake up with Fluttershy though. o_O

I'm not feeling it with my story. It's too... I want to say sensible. The pony world is too reasonable, and isn't of my creation, so it's a bit harder than I suspected. I'll still finish though, I don't see why not.

I normally aim for light-hearted stuff. But occcasionally a paricularly well-done sadfic/grimdark catches my attention.

Reccomended fics:

The Ballad of Twilight Sparkle,
Tabluna Rasa,
Of Mares and Magic,
The Sacrifice and the Return of Spring,
The Elements of Awesomery,
The Centrepiece of my Collection,
When Trey Came to Town,
Out in the Cold, (and it's subsequent follow-ups),

These vary from fairly good to downright awesome for some.

I'M BAAAAAAAAAAAACK

In case you didn't know I have been without internet for 24 hours and I am BACK! What did I miss? Oh man, that radio station is awesome. I would love to help out, do some DJ'ing, send in some music, but I can't think of anything that's plausible. I feel uncomfortable showing my voice, considering my age, and I suck at music. Tried that about a year ago. Whatever, moving on.

While I was gone and without internet, I was at my friends house for a SLUMBER PARTY!!!!! No. It wasn't, but it was a party. And they wanted music so I blasted Winter Wrap Up through my iPod and they tapped their feet and they were jamming then they heard "What does everypony do?" And they laughed then took my iPod and hid it. Why am I so hated. It's. My. Jam.

24 hours without internet? You might as well have spent a thousand years on the moon!

And playing WWU at a party is something I'd never do. Too high a chance of getting bottled given the company I get at these.

Hey TheComet, where did you come from that picture's really beautiful, did you make it or find it, either way

I'd say something, but this is a public forum. sry.

Oh that's the one that got featured on EDaily, under this:



Everyone's chuffed that the singer sounds fairly like Fluttershy. My DeviantArt phantom profile is now linked to the MLP:FiM Fanart group. I woke up to 70 new fanart pieces today. Hooray for this prolithic, bloody community.
