Old things die hard, new ones struggle to live.

Big things die slow, small ones may give.

But the most important thing is that we will all be together in the end.

Should there be a another/more name(s) for 'not-so-brony' bronies?

28 September 2014 - 03:24 AM

        If you know me (which I don't think anyone here does) , then you might know that I don't classify myself to be a brony.  To me (as well as almost all non-bronies) , I think that a brony is someone who has an 'obbsession' over the show. I'm not trying to be rude or mean, but the way I picture a brony is one who does/has done more than one of the following (excluding 1, 2, & maybe 3 if the person is a girl from ages 3-14) :

  • watches the show on a regular basis
  • has bought/owns MLP merch
  • make frequent references to the show
  • devote A LOT of time on pony related projects
  • the ONLY music they listen to/sing is MLP based
  • has a pony/horse/equine fetish (I do know a girl with this, and hates the show, and I don't like her)

       Now, I do have friends who are openly brony, and they all own MLP merch as well as watch the show regularly.  I on the other hand own no MLP merch and I honestly can not stand the show.  It's not like I think the show is bad (meaning I think it's good) , but I don't love it like some of my friends do (and like other famous bronies) .  I also have friends who think bronies are worse than Satan himself (they are also very narrow minded) , and if I told them I sometimes listen to the same music as a kid in my class named Jose (who has seen just about every MLP video on YouTube and can sing all the MLP songs from any brony artist) , they would think I was one of the gayist kids in town.  In reality, the only pony related things I do are play on this server, look for more Fallout: Equestria stuff, and occasionaly watch a MLP parody on YouTube.  These could be justified as being a social-norm by using these three counter-examples:

  • there is no difference between playing as a blocky horse and playing as kid who catches animals with a white and red balls or as an alien cat that shoots other aliens
    Spoiler
  • there are millions of different types of crossed-over media
  • there is a bunch of weirder stuff on YouTube     

       Now here is what you've all been waiting for, what all my rambling has been about is this:

A few nights ago I came to the conclusion that if I am going to like brony things yet still act like bronies are weird, then I should go and and wear a Doctor Who shirt and then go and say "Doctor Who is the stupidest show ever."  So I came up with the idea to come up with a name for other 'not-so-brony' bronies like me, yet who still identify with the fandom.  I am stuck on coming up with a name, and I also need feedback on wheither this is a good idea or not, as well as spread the news of my idea and see if anyone else feels the same way I do.

 
 
List of possible names so far:
 
MLPhony  ( *Facepalm* How did I come up with this? Dumbest. Name. EVER! )


Submission house completed

I am done with my submission house. The plot number is s72.


Why can't I use certain blocks when building?

17 August 2014 - 06:25 PM

I am curently a CMC (as of 8/16) and building my submission house. I came across an issue when I tried to place wall clocks (Item Frame & Clock), but a notice came up and said that the use of an Item Frame is not allowed (The same might be true about the Clock item, but I haven't tried yet). The same thing happened when I tried to get an End Portal Frame to use as a toilet. I would like an explanation why I can't use certain blocks, (The End Portal is kinda obvious, but why the Item Frame?) and, if possible, a list of the forbidden blocks so I work around not having them to build with.

Hi peo... pon... bron... what ever you are! :D
