I like non-show pony dolls better than the show ones. I like glimmer wings ponies the best.
but I also hate it when older fans hate on bronies.
- I actually can't wait for FiM to end so collectors can have the fandom back.+1
3. I stopped watching FiM before the wedding episode because I am still bitter about my own wedding and divorce. I also want nothing to do with Shining Armor for this reason. I would watch it if it were a more realistic episode where Twilight Sparkle turns into Tequila Shots and gets miserably drunk and pathetic because her brother got married before she did, and she is "always a bridesmaid, never a bride." Yes, I am going through a petty phase. Whatever. It's better than some of the other phases I've gone through in all of this. *pouts*:iconclap:
That, I can relate to, too. Although the reason I hated the pony wedding was because there was a villain and pointless fighting. It was also the point of no return for me, when I lost faith in the show. Some may also remember me hitting a serious BSOD and going on hiatus for two months to rediscover myself.would watch it if it were a more realistic episode where Twilight Sparkle turns into Tequila Shots and gets miserably drunk and pathetic because her brother got married before she did, and she is "always a bridesmaid, never a bride.":iconclap:
I actually won't watch anything wedding-related for a similar reason.. it's nice to know I'm not the only one :)
Um... making criticisms about the show is fine, but do you think we can tone down the brony bashing? I'm finding it to be very hurtful. Especially about having the fandom "stolen," as if some of us are interlopers that don't belong here.+1
- I believe bronies ruined FIM by making Hasbro drop the Slice-of-Life in favor of fighting and villains.

But yeah, my sister is getting married soon, too. Me? well.... :(
I hate the majority of the brony fandom. It's a wretched hive of misogyny, homophobia, rape jokes, transphobia, racism, and many other things. Don't get me wrong, I love G4 tons, but I really hate the fandom it's spawned in most circles. (MLParena and some other exceptions are excluded from this complaint, of course)
I'd link to some very good examples, including this type of thing being perpetuated by conventions and their organizers, but every example I can think of isn't safe to post outside of Slaughterhouse.I hate the majority of the brony fandom.

I don't see any of this, anywhere. I question your use of the word "majority." Please, can we just stop the hate?
Okay, here's a peaceful confession: I feel sad when I see an army of a pony I want but don't have yet, and a voice cries out, "save some for us!" And it makes me even more impatient to get that pony and I go running off to ebay (where I usually end up overpaying)!

I think we need a vent thread. Maybe everyone's reached a point where it's time to let out a little steam :P
With a fandom with half the people not taking themselves seriously and the other half taking it all way too seriously, I guess it's no surprise it attracted so many trolls. Trolls are who I hate. They are ruining the fandom. They are making you guys hate Bronies, and making it so I honestly can't blame you.This.
Mm.. We could always post one in the Corral and Off-Topic :biggrin:I think we need a vent thread. Maybe everyone's reached a point where it's time to let out a little steam :P
Just ponywise or all things? Because I could so use that though everyone might think I'm a big ball of crazy! lol :biggrin: :lol:
And I think some of the more sought-after G1s are really ugly...OMG! Me too! Some of the most sought after ponies just look "meh" to me (saves me some money at least ^^)
I like customs more than collecting.
Don't know if anyone here remembers this...
One of the first G1 ponies I bought was on eBay.. I forget the sellers name, but she always heavily styles the ponies' manes and tails in epic curls and hairspray, and her ponies are always over-priced, and because of her photos, her ponies usually incite a bidding war. Well I was trying to bid on a Galaxy, and the bidding was getting heated, and instead of typing in $40 in the bid box, I accidentally put in $40000. I was so scared, but obviously the bidding never went that high, and I learned an important lesson in ebay bidding :P
:lol: Lol I was pretty sick with nervousness.. But I only paid about $50 for her in the end :)Don't know if anyone here remembers this...

I would probably need a pair of clean pants if that happened to me!!! :shocked: :shocked: :lol:
A few
- I hate when people call my OTP's stupid ;n;
- I hate when people say "I love every generation - except for g3.5"
myeh
Not really sure who I want to acquire first :P
- One of my male friends used to play My Little Pony with me when we were kids, some of my other male friends would play to humor me but he really enjoyed it. His favorite was Firefly which he always played as a male villain. I bumped into him recently and kind of scoff at one of his male employees for wearing a Rainbow Dash tshirt to work, I kind of teased about his own MLP past. We talked about my starting to collect again and he was rather aghast I did not have a Firefly, the next time I saw him I had purchased two Fireflys one for me and one for him. I don't think I have ever seen him happier in our like 25 years of friendship than he was when I gave him Firefly, (s)he now proudly adorns his desk at work.

1. I talk to my ponies. :lol: First time a few ponies from UK joined my collection, I told them 'welcome' in english. I mean, ofc they would't understand finnish! But I know I can't be the onlyone because my friend (who is a collector too) admits that she also talks to her ponies. "you're going to be so pretty!" while cleaning etc.me too, me too!

*hugs* Honey, no one is mentioning you. That's a joke on the Arena, it's just a gimick that posts the name of the person reading it. Each person will see their own username there.
Aww yes dear it's just a code you put in, and it shows the username of the person that is reading the post. Don't feel stupid though. Plenty of people have been confused by it, and I still catch myself sometimes going. 'Why are they talking about me?" :blink:thank you for mentioning me in your thread its a mature thing to do i have no idea why u would chose me to do that do but its not nice i dont even no u pretty harsh really im new here and its hard to make friends let alone when someone speaks badly about u in a open forum so everyone can see thanks alot

One more...
I have a terrible crush on Shining Armor, but I don't tell anyone because Cadence is like everyone's favorite pony and I've never seen him paired with anyone else and I think I'm the only one...

I'm taking a sewing class at my college just so I can make myself pony plushies.
5. I see my ponies as alive with feelings and personalities. I once caught myself apologizing to a pony that I accidentally dropped on the ground.

I have lied about how much I spent on a pony. More than once. A lot, actually. And I plan to do it again.

THIS IS ME. Hubby has no CLUE how much I spent for Ice Crystal. XD
2.) I go through phases where I love G4 ponies, and then I absolutely must get my hands on G1, and then I go back to G4. I'm in a G1 phase right now.These, and these:
3.) When I first started collecting G4s, the thought of rehairing a Rainbow Dash to be accurate made me cringe. I hated the idea of "ruining" a pony like that. Now I realize it is my pony to do with what I want.
4.) Armies make me jealous too, especially when I am looking for a specific pony, and there is someone that has dozens of them. At the same time, I really want an army of my own :)
My DJ-pon3 plushie...no one must know her true cost..I have lied about how much I spent on a pony. More than once. A lot, actually. And I plan to do it again.
THIS IS ME. Hubby has no CLUE how much I spent for Ice Crystal. XD
Ditto! Hubby has no clue how much Chief really cost me....

My confession is some nights I can't fall asleep without listening to one of Storyteller Twlight Sparkle's songs or stories. It calms me down and makes me really happy. I love her.+1 . Though my Animated Storyteller of choice is Pinkie Pie. I tend to switch between the G3.5 and G4 depending on my mood.
I'm scared of TiracI'm more scared of that shapeshifting lizard in Escape from Katrina. Then again, shapeshifters scare the hell out of me. All the time. I'm just that paranoid. For "Rescue from Midnight Castle", well, the kitchen table again.
Sometimes I make sure to get to the mailbox early or come home from my lunch break if I'm getting ponies. I even will open a box and stuff them all in the same box to keep my other half from panicking.
-Probably not a very good confession, but: I love love love ponies with haircuts! (Obviously, it's better if the cut looks nice, of course!) No, I do not cut pony hair now (although I did when I was a kid if the hair was really long or tangled) but if I see one being sold on eBay with a little cut, I'm immediately drawn to it. It just gives the collection variety!
I have decided that somehow Denim Blue is related to Shining Armor.
2. Me and my 3 1/2 old son have started watching FIM together and we both love it. His fave is Pinkie Pie.

7. My husband will look on thrift store shelves with me for ponies. He even knows which ones are fakies.
- I bought a G1 Bowtie head from a charity shop as I felt sorry for it (I will try and get her a body when I'm buying again).
- I make customs but have yet to get commissioned. :cry:!
I deboxed a G1 Nirvana. (The package was gross!!)
I log on to the Arena while I'm at work. Actually, the Arena is the only place I really go on the Internet!
Honestly, I have no clue what "cannon", "shipping" and other terms mean. That makes me sound old:(
That took me forever to learn. Then I found out that Cannon means what FiM says (Like they call :muffin: Pony as Ditsy Doo), and Shipping is when people believe 2 ponies should be in love or whatever. Thats really all the terms I know. XP
- I make customs but have yet to get commissioned. :cry:Can I see?
- I can name every G1 on sight except for the Sweetheart Sisters - I still have to look them up.I was trying to reach this point with the G3s, but I might just settle for being able to identify all the background ponies in the cartoons. (Once you know who's who, you start to realize the selection of extras is actually pretty limited.)
- I actually can't wait for FiM to end so collectors can have the fandom back.
- I get really jealous when I see people with multiples of a pony I want.
Oh, yes -.- To both...
Another confession?
It REALLY gets on my nerves reading/hearing "Cutie Mark" (avoids flying bricks, fakies, bronies, ponies, books, all things). Why? I... It has always been for me a symbol that identified ponies, specially G1-G3(.5). So when FiM arrived calling it Cutie Mark... It sounds really weird for me... like trying to force myself into a new thing that does not belong to what I know. And... Cutie Mark? No. I don't like it =P Maybe if it wasn't a 'cutie'... (that word ticks me off at the mean and saying it XDD (actually, I still call a street the name it had until 10-15 years ago... and still gets on my nerves younger people calling it SNM insteado of DS... /bricked).

I may be wrong, but I believe the term cutie mark began being used in g3 at some point. Again, I may be wrong, as I've only heard this secondhand ^^;
My internet spazzed...anyway here's my DA with the customs. http://rockettoinsanity.deviantart.com/I like your Surprise.
