Big Book of Brony Collaboration Seeking Artist Permission
Have some copy paste!
" The Big Book of Brony is a massive project aiming to collect, archive and organize everything brony. We will include materials created and done by the fan community and not only that, everything that has some connection with the fandom and our beloved pastel colored ponies. Our collection will hold material ranging from fanart to comics, fancitions, reviews, podcasts, meetups, cosplay, custom toys, game mods, everything ponified, clothing, charts, maps, reaction images, icon sets and forum signatures, etc. (This list is just a small example).
Once the collection is complete, we will publish it as a tribute to the brony fandom.
Hereby we would like to ask everypony who has ever contributed anything to the fandom, to send us an email whether they allow us to include their work or not. Please send us an email (titled PERMISSION) with your name (artist name you are credited by), webpage (if you have any) and a clear declaration of permission (or prohibition).
(Given the vast amount of creative bronies and overall nature of the fandom, we are taking permissions are automaticly granted after two weeks if not receiving any withdrawal of permission.)

WAIT A MINUTE! Im betting a brony called in to ask that just so they could get a video of it!
ReplyDeleteUGGGGH. Target by my house, y u no have canterlot stuff? :I
ReplyDeleteAh, I always figured that when the radicals start to label you 'satanic' you know you're getting somewhere.
ReplyDeleteThey're right about the Smurfs though.
LOLI-TRIO?
ReplyDeleteThe Japanese are referring to the CMC as the loli-trio?
Japan, I am disappoint.
ahem conserning the christian video, i would just like to say that they are idiots, im christian myself and in no way are those shows satanic in any way but i will say that satan will use things against you to drive you away from god but thats a different topic altogether
ReplyDelete>MLP possibly satanic.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's why Catholics and Lutherans shouldn't be on tv.
-facehoof-
ReplyDeleteUltra-Conservative Christianity tends to suck like that.
My boyfriend and I are decidedly Christian in every way we can be, but we're not ultra-conservative. Ponies are fine. There's a line between fiction and reality, and ponies (sadly) are definitely on the fiction side of that line in reality. As long as we remember that, there's no problem. -sigh-
I have been a victim of ultra-conservative Christianity for far too long. My boyfriend and I can't even play Dungeons & Dragons or Magic: the Gathering at his house because his parents are ultra-conservative. I'm hoping they don't watch Christian TV, because then we'll lose our ponies, too.
They can't take away our ponies. That's just not right.
I knew as soon as I saw Fluttershy, she was a wich.
ReplyDeletebut seriously, some christians give the rest of us a bad name when they say things like that.MLP evil? I agree with many of you, it's probably a gift from god to make our lifes happy :D oh and the smurfs possess kids?? WTF??
@richfiles
ReplyDelete*brohoofs*
As another Christian brony, I must absolutely agree with you.
On that note, did anyone else notice that the woman at 0:19 actually was smarter than the host? She rightly pointed out that anything can be "satanic" if you have the right perspective. The Bible must be the yardstick of such things, not personal perspective. Otherwise, you end up essentially going on a witchhunt against basically everything.
A final note to Christians and even atheists: Never trust televangelits or megachurch pastors in general. I'd be willing to say most of them are false prophets. The audiences they attract will eventually get to their heads. Not to mention that most of them that I've seen feel more like rock concerts than an actual serious attempt to connect to God and teach others about the Bible.
@Ronan
ReplyDeleteim still laughing hard, but i have a personal way that tells me if i made or seen something wrong:
if the church disapproves then u'r in the right path, if not you'r going wrong ^^

ReplyDeleteLyra edition! Yay!
ReplyDeleteAs everyone else has said, those Christians are freakin insane, and don't represent the vast majority of us religious folk.
Japan's reaction to the show was hilarious.

@richfiles
ReplyDeleteI just read your long comment about Christianity, and I have to say, as a Christian, I enjoyed it immensely. I could not agree more about the lack of real love in the "Christian" community today, and I likewise see bronydom as exemplary of the kind of mindset we were supposed to have.
Stay awesome!
Finally I see more Christian bronies! Oh and just because one calls themselves Christian doesn't make them one ya know. It's not just saying that, it's in your beliefs, actions, and heart. People like Harold Camping, WBC, and that are the crazy Christians. Believe it or not but I go to church and a Christian school and there's no one like that (aside from the rock music doesn't worship God bullcrap).
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the comments but I really hope there was no Christian insulting. Love and tolerance applies to everyone. Muslims, Jews, Atheists, Christians, Hindus, etc. We should all treat each other with love and respect.
@Navy Brony
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that someone overreacted and decided to slander you. I feel like the apostle Paul would have had a few choice words for that person were he alive. :P
@Azure
ReplyDeleteYes, it is interesting how many of us there are, and I love it. Most of the bronies I know IRL are also Christians, and we all agree that the show is more than compatible with Jesus's teachings and the Christian worldview. And I only wish more Christians would take the message of love to heart.
@ProBrono
ReplyDeleteI was scrolling down, getting ready to write out a long post, but you said it all so well. All I see in that video is people with serious emotional and psychological issues they should get help for instead displacing them through radical, rabid over-adherence to a local dominant cultural paradigm. It's a story as old as humanity, unfortunately. I didn't bother finishing the video, where I once might have reveled in mocking it during the days where I was doing a similar kind of projection but with atheism.
@Daniel the Brony (Mama's so proud...)
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty blown away by the fact that there are 200+ comments and there's no religious flamewar, in fact nobody saying anything unkind about Christians, atheists, or anybody else. Even towards the fundies in the video, it's just pity. Love the community this show has attracted.
...!
ReplyDelete...!!
...!!!
Dude. DUDE! That...just gives me another reason to make another trip to Joplin.
I'm actually going there for a weekend trip WITH my church starting tomorrow. We're leaving in the evening and coming back on Sunday to help out with rebuilding and additional relief efforts.
You know as a Christian it really makes me sad to see vids like that one. I know there are a lot of different Christian view points on matters like pokemon or smurfs, and many of those points get very negative responses (being called insane is an example). I just pray that those who see videos like this one don't gain a negative viewpoint on Christianity as a whole because of a small groups of individuals viewpoints. God bless
ReplyDeleteAlso please not that I have never posted here on this website before...and that I have tried posting this two other times before this one (I'm really bad at posting junk). So if you see this post two other times I am really sorry.
My reaction to some of those japanese reactions:
ReplyDelete"That blue gal is cute" - I think you mean 'butter yellow' and 'with the pink mane'. though "cute" could be said for most of the Mane 6
"Spyro" - Makes sense
"Happy Tree Friends" - If I could, I would nuke all the stuff that ties both together to form the similarities then make glass out of the residue and then nuke it again then send the remaining residue to a super-massive black hole.
"I thought it was he" - Clearly too much cross-dressing anime and manga
"Panty and Stocking" - Waaaaaaaaaaaaat. I don't even...
"Loli-trio" - I understand your logic, and I politely ask you to dispose of such an idea
Before I summaries my overall reaction to some of these reactions I would like to say that I have an Otaku sister who I hold very dear to me and that Japan is the whole reason I got into Engineering, Science and Technology, and that what i'm going to say is merely a friendly kind of offense, the kind of offense you get between 2 guys talking to each other. Now i'm going to say my overall reaction:
Bloody japs, imma love and tolerate the living stuff outta u. And give you big, fat, epic, Pinkie Pie Styled hugs if I have to.
@Mattwo
ReplyDeleteBasically, both are male pronouns but "ore" is much more arrogant.
@Azure
It's true that some things shouldn't be tolerated, but "mindlessly tolerating everything" isn't really one of the messages of the show anyway.
@MrTanokki
Whatever church they belong to I can tell you they're definitely not Catholic or Lutheran (I'm a Catholic myself with Lutheran relatives).
SO I was reading those Japanese reactions when I read
ReplyDelete"American's can't grasp the concept of moe..."
roflmao
The people in that video just make christians look bad.
ReplyDeleteMLP FiM has alot of christian values when you think about it, and its a heck of alot better than most of whats on tv these days.
My friend is gonna have a field day about this. (hes antichristian) if they think this satanic im glad my mum had the sense to stay away from them. Im a christian and I believe that that was the stupidist thing ive ever seen. What we should fo is all send pics of ourselves showing what a fun tome wwe hav with mlp just to see what their reaction is. Also soooooo many good arguments here I didnt know there were so many christian bronies. Yay im not in another minority.
ReplyDeleteOn another note: PONYMON FTW!!!!!
I gotta add something now after seeing so many new comments when I came to check this again.
ReplyDeleteWhy are so many Christians overjoyed and happy when they find so many other Christians? You think your faith is rare or something? I'm just confused by this... Christians are EVERYWHERE and almost everyone in the states is one so why are you surprised by this?
I really don't understand.
@DJB123:
ReplyDeleteim from australia and its a little harder over here.
@DJB123 So I take it when you find someone meet someone who shares the some interests you aren't happy about it? This happens for almost everything under sun from ponies to sports to your favorite color it's common behavior to exhibit.
ReplyDeleteBrohoof for that Ragnaros reference
ReplyDeleteScootaloo is a Pidgey, lol.
ReplyDeleteIt's still too alpha so no downloading yet.
>Frying electronics with faith
lol
Their "faith" is so weak and based in self deceive they will not get anybody converted because everybody will be very busy getting laser eye surgeries :D
Seriously, I'm embarrassed to call myself religious when some christians and catholics start acting like nut-jobs and quacks... *facehoof*
Oh well, with magic, beasts out of the D&D manual and living deities around, MLP was begging to be bashed by the relentless ignorant zealots that would be too happy to get the world in the Dark Ages again. They seem to be unable to grasp the difference between reality and fantasy... *facepalm*
>Japanese implying that westerners can't grasp moe...
Oh friend... you don't know... XD
YES, IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING! SOON WE WILL HAVE JAPONY BETWEEN OUR RANKS!!!
Ohh pony advent calender? How adorable is that... lucky Norwegians!
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to say that translated page of Japanese reactions to FiM is one of the most entertaining things I've read in a while (Rainbow Dash a "boku", bwaha). I truly do hope the series ends up taking off over there; I for one would be thrilled to see what a Japanese fanbase would bring us (adorable little cellphone charms and chibi-UFO machine plushies, for starters <3)!
And I suppose I shall just have to contribute my pony arts to the Big Book of Brony project.
man that was a ton of news O.o great stuff tho!
ReplyDeletenot to offend anypony, but sometimes, people take religion way too far. its a tv show! how can ponies b bad! (oh, and smurfs 2)
ReplyDeleteWoa! Looking back at all these comments, I'm relieved and uplifted! Because of the bronies on my home forum, I thought most bronies were religion-bashing atheists like @MiColt. When I saw the "satanic ponies" thing, I was so afraid that all the comments on this would be like that. But most of the comments on that part were saying "I'm a Christian brony and people like that are giving us a bad name" or "Not all Christians are like that." Good to see that we're loving and tolerating in serious areas life too!
ReplyDelete@Ikusa GT
ReplyDeleteHey bro, I'm not hating... I just find it odd that sometimes people seem to be surprised and uplifted by it. I'm not saying it's bad.... only that it seems counter intuitive to me.
@ActionScripter9109
ReplyDeleteI've never stopped being a Catholic, although being in the military has made it harder to attend service, I stay firm in my beliefs, because my family is doing great, and I've had some pretty interesting close calls with death already (skydiving mishap in 08 and helicopter mishap earlier this year).
Regardless of my beliefs though, I don't feel anybody has the right to shove their beliefs down somebody else's throat, and that includes Atheists that try and shove their beliefs down my throat.
I am particularly fascinated with this topic, because regardless of the vast differences in beliefs among the people commenting, it's been completely civil, which goes against pretty much every single experiencing on the internet I've ever had. You say the word god in any forum, and you usually get 30 pages of replies and very heated debates, often with users being banned and the thread getting locked.
Thank you brony community for once again proving how amazing you are!
Lauren Faust has already been amazed at the growth of this community. Just wait til she finds out her cartoon inspires world peace ;)
@DJB123 I didn't mean to come off as rude I apologize.
ReplyDeleteAnd this is why I hate "Christian" TV, even though I am a Christian.
ReplyDeleteWhat's this? Something new and different is popular? IT MUST BE SATAN.
Don't worry Christian bronies, I love and tolerate you! I do think that religion is mostly a screen that people project upon whatever is inside them. How you interpret your religion says much more about you than God.
ReplyDeleteOn another topic, after consuming Japanese cultural exports for years it is interesting what they think about ours. Apparently being a "pushie girl" is a sign of Americanness?
As a Christian brony, I fail to see ANYTHING satanic about MLP: FiM! These people are modern day puritans, on a cartoon witch hunt! And yes, Twilight, among other unicorns, CAN perform magic, but the only "real" magic I've seen is like: butterfly wings, walking on clouds and Spike's facial hair... OMG SO EVIILL!
ReplyDeleteIt's disturbing that the word "Christian" is becoming synonymous with "whoever the hell those people are PRETENDING to be". The way MLP:FiM brings people (bronies) together CANNOT be evil.
Long story short: They are doin' it wrong.
-Christian-
ReplyDelete-Brony-
-Lives near Akron OH-
-Embarrassed too-
that's about it.
It's because she's named Faust, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteSilly Christians.
>pastor is a woman
ReplyDeleteautomatically worthless
@HMorris73
ReplyDeleteIt's less the show and more what people make of it. Popular catchphrases are often out of context and misconstrued. Especially when it can be taken as "don't you tell me what to do".
Also, at DBJ123: This what we churchgoers call "fellowship", haha.
More than anything, it's just that it's the interwebs. You don't often find Christian-friendly users/behavior/content in the meme-producing corners of the internet, and when it happens squee occurs. I've had a weird obsession with internet subculture for a long time, so I'm aware of the abrasive and unGodly thoughts people put out there. Bronyism is the closest thing I've found to a friendly, courteous, not-unavoidably-distasteful fandom community in all my years of clearing the web browser. And it's a nice change.
@jodyjm13
ReplyDeleteWould have replied to your comment, but it got to be 7:30 AM before I went to bed. Had to drive almost an hour out of town today... Kinda sucked. Stupid needing to waste so many hours of our lives sleeping away Luna's beautiful nights! :P
Repair service is next to impossible to come by. A few people have the skills for it, but it's hard to find ones willing to work outside of their own collections. I myself have several that i want to repair, but have not found the time for. My favorite one, a SCM (Smith Corona Marchant) Cogito 240SR just got a nasty little fault where you can enter a number, but when you press and operator key, it only transfer the decimal position to the next stack, and not the actual number's content. I suspect a single part or a single wire is the fault. It uses "bit-serial" architecture. It means that the signal is failing to pass one single point, and after that point, it reads all 0s. That hardest part to repairing a machine like that is the fact that schematics are SO hard to find.
I'm hoping it's only an oxidized wire contact point. That's easy enough to fix. The 240SR has no chips, it has I think 5 circuit boards stacked in layers, with grids of resistors and diodes to form logic. A few transistors are used as well. It draws vectors the numbers being rendered on a CRT, and uses a vibrating nickel steel wire to store a measly 480 bits of data as a recycled sound wave being amplified and looped back down the length of the wire by magnetic transducers (like speakers and microphones). It's so slow, that a solenoid LOCKS the keys so you can't interrupt it while it processes the results. Oddly enough, it has a far greater numeric range than most modern scientific calculators, assuming you keep track of the patterns that loop on the display with every roll over all 0s. Shockingly primitive, but an amazing feat of engineering, for a time when so little was available to engineers.
There was CLEARLY science to be done back then, and nothing was gonna stop them!
@DJB123, You are aware that only about 33% of the world identifies as Christian, right? While it may be fairly common for an American Christian to bump into a fellow Christian on the street, in the wider world it's far less common.
ReplyDeleteAnd on the internet, it seems that Christians are rarer (or are not willing to be open about it for fear of ridicule).
But like others have said, it's just like finding other things in common.
@DJB123
ReplyDeleteI know others have explained already, but I want to throw in my 2 bits on why Christian bronies are so overjoyed to find others.
For one thing, finding a professing Christian is getting far less common. It's not "cool" to be religious anymore, and many people would be reluctant to talk about it.
Additionally, this is a fandom that's united over a cartoon that became popular via the internet. Specifically 4chan. And even though we've moved away from that, it's still true that most of us are "internet geeks" to some degree. One would expect, given the stereotypical internet user's beliefs, that bronies are mostly atheists. So to find people who say "I'm a Christian too", and to read their comments about how the people in the clip are doing it wrong based on Christianity, is an amazing feeling.
tl;dr - Christian bronies in here are happy to find that we're not alone in a place where we probably assumed we were the minority.
General message to all the bronies who spoke up and said "I'm a Christian, and those radicals are doing it wrong": Thank you for making me happy, restoring my faith in spontaneous fellowship, and showing me that no place is off limits.
ReplyDeleteSmufs are just perverted not Satanic 1 girl and 99 boys ya nothing hinky going on there and the remake didn't help clear that up at all i can't watch it gives me nightmares I'm a christian and i've accually recomended MLP:FIM to my friends who have kids its not very often that you find a cartoon that teaches values
ReplyDelete@richfiles
ReplyDeleteI have repaired some 1970's calculators, mostly TI and Commodore, plus an HP.
Most 1970's models are damaged by battery corrosion. If they have rechargeable packs (which was VERY common), it can be especially bad, since the pack was usually right up against the circuit board. I have repaired a pair of Commodore N60s and an S61 that had corrosion issues. It's mostly an issue of very positively grounding yourself and your workbench (these old electronics are horrifically sensitive to static electricity), cleaning with powerful cleaners (I've used everything from high purity alcohol to industrial oxide cleansers), and then soldering new wires to jumper over any circuit board wire traces that have been corroded away. The battery packs you buy for cordless phones at places like Radio Shack are more or less drop in replacements for the rechargeable battery packs from these old calculators. I like to solder a small plug to the circuit board to allow easy removal and replacement of the battery pack. Never leave a pack in a calculator for more than 2-4 years. It might even last longer... but why risk your hard work just to save a few bucks. At the very least, check it yearly. Most collectors choose to NOT install a battery pack unless they actively use the vintage calculator. Some models have removable battery backs that let you use standard AA, AAA, or 9v style batteries. I prefer these. They are easy to maintain, as you don't have to take the calc apart to replace batteries.
I an also bead together a mean abacus!
@jodyjm13
ReplyDeleteAlso... Look up the calculator's brand and model online. Google is your friend. There are a few good resources for information. Also be aware that SOME calculator models REQUIRE a battery to be installed to prevent the charging circuit from overloading the calculator. A recharging battery draws down the current in the circuit by placing a resistance (the resistance of the battery) to shunt some of the power to. Without that shunt (the battery), the power has to go elsewhere (aka, your precious little vintage device). To solve this, one can often substitute a small resistor in place of the battery. Online research can help in determining when and if this is necessary, and what values to use.
I've got my collection up to over 100 models, and that count was last year. Maybe someday I'll have the time to organize and share the collection on the web!

@DJB123
As for the subject of why Christians seem to be overjoyed when they find each other online... All that needs to be said, has been said.
Like any individual in a sea of faces, we seek the companionship and friendship of those who we feel we can associate with. When you feel afraid to speak out about who you are, because some people make foals of themselves, giving you a bad name... It can be hard. When people unite together in a common interest, belief, feeling, or anything really, it provides a shoulder to lean on.
It can be a well oiled precision killing team in Call of Duty, or a nerdy bunch who gather for DnD on Friday nights. It could be a group of pals who dig some Rock Band at their bud's house, or gathering of bored wives for their monthly night on the town. It can be the oddball fan of a little girls cartoon about magic ponies collaborating to create one of the fastest growing internet communities of all time, or it could be some poor dejected Christians who is embarrassed by the public stereotype cast on them, learning there are people who feel the same way, and want to join to untarnish their image.
We want contact with those who care about what we care about...
Isn't that part of the magic of friendship?
Oh come off it, you guys, not all Christians, (and Texans for that matter) are like that. As somebody in the comments said earlier generalizing all Christians that way makes you no different then people who generalize "bronies" as weirdoes who are sexually-attracted to ponies. (Or like that "Ghost" guy who says all Bronies are "sick pedos")
ReplyDeleteThat aside, admittedly I think this lady is a li'l odd, and doesn't know what she's talking about. She's obviously never seen the show for herself, so she can't really judge if it's "Satanic," or what-not. (And for that Matter, I don't think Harry Potter's "Satanic" either.) So yeah, I admit some can be exteme, or make odd acusations.
Also, some Athiests can be exteme in their beliefs to. Remember when a ton of Athiest bronies used to always whine & complain about the "moral" in the episode "Feeling Pinkie-Keen," because they misinterpritated it as promoting religiosity? To me that wasn't any less annoying then what this lady says.
@richfiles
ReplyDeleteThanks mightily for the advice! And maybe we need to show Luna our abacuses (abaci?) sometime. ;)
So, does this hold the record as the most off-topic digression on EqD?
@jodyjm13
ReplyDeleteIt very well could be the most off topic drift ever... but that's OK. It's all in the name of being friendly and helping out a fellow brony! LOL!!!
I've been seriously contemplating making a Luna themed abacus myself. It'd obviously have to carry her three primary colors (mane, coat, cutiemark). I'd very much like to find wires that can be colored like the mane. I'm fairly certain that silvery blue can be achieved on certain metals with some sort of surface process. I think it's a common color on gun metal. I'll have to look into that. I'd like it to NOT be paint, as paint would never last on a surface that would take repetitive friction. Something like a heat or electroplating treatment, I suppose. I guess that simply means that there is research to be done! I'll go with beads the color of the dark part of her cutie mark, probably... though I might place white ones in a crescent moon pattern in them, so when zeroed, it'll show the actual cutiemark... Frame would be coat color. I'd like to make it subtly ornate, if possible. I could possibly use the same metal surface treatment on corner brackets shaped to imitate Luna's horseshoes or crown if possible. No friction there, so paint could work as well.
I so want to make this!
lol those christian guys are idiots. I'm christian, but they are retards.
ReplyDelete@richfiles
ReplyDeleteIf you do make it, be sure to upload pics somewhere and submit them here; I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd love to see it.
man this makes me feel embarrassed to say i'm a christian.
ReplyDeleteif only they knew what GOOD THINGS ponies have done...
seriously. LOOK AT THIS FANDOM. amazing. if i even say ANYTHING about being a christian ANYWHERE, i'm mocked and stuff. but here. no. here, people talk freely, and nopony ever goes all: oh well Christians are retarded. (Derp face) it's so nice to see a wonderful fandom. if anything, i bet you GOD PUT THE PONIES IDEA IN LAUREN's HEAD!!
ReplyDeletePonies are a gift from God. Ponies forever!!!!
So this is the next SALT thread?
ReplyDeleteMan, I recognize some of these guys. Maybe I'll invite them next time.
I think I vaguely remember this thread.
ReplyDeleteCaptain! I see new land ahead!
ReplyDeleteShall we prepare to weigh anchor?
@ZeroHero
ReplyDeleteAye, we weigh anchor at the Roundup!
----*S.A.L.T. INVASION ANCHOR*----
Previously invaded post can be found HERE.
ReplyDeleteI'm vaguely curious if anyone else is subscribed to this post after all this time.
ReplyDeleteI'll be gone for a while. BrB tonight after 0900 (my time)
ReplyDeleteAnd so the cycle is renewed
ReplyDeleteahhhhh I missed the end of the post D:
ReplyDeleteI was just checking the member list from the a couple posts back, and I think it's still pretty much right.
ReplyDeleteJelfes, Bombedrumbum, Discord, Dublio, ZeroHero, amddude, ClosetBrony, Pinkie Pie, RavensDagger, Cloudy Haste, DerpGarde., Travis Smith the Shadowbolt, MyBoyJ, Dom W, ThunderIce, Trotsky, Ben Gibson and DeRockProject
I miss anybody?
HAI GUYS! Im using the bad school internets ;p
ReplyDeletehey it has some NZ newsz!
I wonder... Huh. Armagedon
Yay, livestream going now.
ReplyDeletegrrrr.... this post's comment system is derping for me... aka not showing me any of the comments besides the first page
ReplyDelete*inhale*
ReplyDeleteHah, smell that lads? It's the smell of discovery!
We be searchin' fer treasure at the break o' dawn!
I am a Pirate now
i'm the one who was singing the song...
ReplyDeleteWell, I just got back from the hospital. My surgery date is set for May.
ReplyDeleteDiscord, I would watch the livestream, but I am busy once more :(
Haha! It's Jello time! The time of year when I make a giant bucket of Jello and eat it all! Best time of the year.
ReplyDelete@Bombedrumbum
ReplyDeleteWhen in May?
And what exactly are they going to do?
@Trotsky
ReplyDeleteI believe this is relevant.
Oh yeah, Deep Thought. When I heard him on the livestream, I was under the impression he was using a voice changer of some kind. And I can always tell when Dr Discord is talking.
ReplyDeleteSo, I was alerted to the fact that a friend of mine was looking for a brony to interview for a school journalism project. Why not!
@DerpGarde
ReplyDeleteMake the community proud!
Meaning don't make us sound like a bunch of creepy weirdos.
I have faith in you.
On a semi-related note, I watched the livestream celebrating the end of the Kickstarter for Double Fine Adventure earlier.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't know, Double Fine made a lot of great games like Psychonauts, Brutal Legend, Stacking, Costume Quest, and quite a few others. They're a game developer that isn't afraid to try new things and their games are always unique.
Employees at the company were answering questions from the chat and someone asked if they watched My Little Pony. Tim Schafer, the big boss, said "Yep, I'm a Brony." I have no idea if he was serious or not. He also posed the question to a woman who worked at Kickstarter and she said they were cute and make her feel warm inside, but didn't say if she liked the show.
Then the chat blew up with people saying "brohoof", "Tim's a Brony!", etc. There were also several people who criticized the show and it's fans, in particular, one person who said "fun fact: you must be mentally handicapped to like ponies".
Oddly, when I read that, the first thing that came to mind was a line from that "I'm the Juggernaut, Bitch" video.
"Silly bitch, your weapons cannot harm me."
@MyBoyJScore one lol!
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty easy for me to demonstrate to most sane people how normal bronies typically are. I was practically dragged into this fandom kicking and screaming, ultimately realizing that there was a ton of fun I was missing out on because I let my initial bias get in the way. Ever notice how many people start out as haters, gradually become indifferent, and then just outright embrace the ponies? Heck, even moot.
I tell people about that so they understand I was once like them. It's not weird, but it sure is funny.
I didn't pay attention in math today (we were reviewing stuff I already know). I drew pinkie (twice) instead. Also, drawing from an angle, like my lazy posture, results in stuff looking correct from that angle, but stretched from a head on view. Pinkie's head was elliptical and she was too long before I realized the mistake I made.
ReplyDelete@amddude
ReplyDeleteKeep drawing.
Also back from driving lessons. I know now no more about driving then I did this morning.
Chapter two, ready to send to EqD! Anypony want to be the first to read it?
ReplyDelete@DerpGarde
ReplyDeleteDon't mess up. I kid, I am sure you'll paint us in a good light. Heck you might even make a few more bronies!
@MyBoyJ
Brilliant! Didn't you apply there? You should probably add "brony" to your resume!
@RavensDagger
ReplyDeleteI did send them my voice demo and a humorous email asking for a job. I didn't get a response from them, but then again, they haven't even started work on the game yet.
Another question that popped up a few times in the chat on the livestream was "can people with no formal voice actor training audition to be in the game?"
They never answered that question, probably because the chat was moving too fast and they didn't see it.
@MyBoyJ'
ReplyDeleteWell I hope you get a nice response!
Chapter two sent to EqD, now to update it on Fimfic...
Aww, I have no image header this time :(
To DA!
I CLAIM THIS COMMENT BOX IN THE NAME OF SOMETHING!!!!
ReplyDeleteHey I made it
@RavensDagger
ReplyDeleteYou have Ch. 2 of Steam Gears already done and sent off?
I am simply amazed at your work ethic. Makes my work ethic looks like a fat man on a treadmill. :P
(slowly moving but not really getting anything done)
I am having SUCH a hard time getting this first chapter re-written. I had a start to it, but now I'm just blocked from all progress, my brain seems to have just run out of ideas...
How do you do it? I just can't seem to get things done, but you have two chapters on one fic done and another fic already up on EqD!
@amddude I suppose you could always fix the proportions by skewing it in photoshop. Or just redraw. That always works too.
ReplyDelete@RavensDagger
Chapter 2, sweet. Must go and read.
@ZeroHero
ReplyDeleteYou need inspiration! There are many ways to do this.
@ZeroHero
ReplyDeleteMe, get things done? Hahahahaha. Funny...
No.
Actually it is really hard, I've been on chapter 7 for almost a week now, only 2 pages... Editing (especially re-reading) is a royal pain. Suffer throught it if you want it to be any good though...
Get it done. We'll make it perfect!
@DerpGarde
ReplyDeleteInspiration helps! But it is hard.
I try writting many fics at once. That way when I get bored of one I hop unto another!
@DerpGarde
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly it. I have no inspiration to this fic right now. Nothing is working right, and it's driving me nuts.
I know where i want this story to go, I just can't get it there. At least not well. I'm falling back onto my crutch of self-criticism where everythign I write is crap to me so I delete it and start over, only to spiral downwards and loose all focus...
I'm think of just putting this story down and walking away from it for a bit. Maybe if I take some time off it I'll calm down and find something that'll fit. In the meantime I have another idea I wanna try, so maybe it'll help move things along.
I know that feel bro. When making a song (not those mostly improv ones that i've been coughing up), it takes a while to polish it........
ReplyDeleteAlso, a suprisingly high amount of comments from this post (pre-invasion) are part of a semi-flame war about......religion?
@DerpGarde
ReplyDeleteI fixed it early enough that it only required a bit of erasing.
@ZeroHero
ReplyDeleteHop unto something else. Get your ideas in line. Come back.
@bombe
ReplyDeleteI know very werid, I've read a good bit of them
@amddude
ReplyDeleteWe need somepony to draw for the SALT fic guide... (hint)
@RavensDagger
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking that's my best bet. I bet if i can work on another idea, my thoughts will fall back into place and I can get progress done. :P
@ZeroHero
ReplyDeleteThat's one way to do it. Like RavensDagger said, having different projects allows you to work on the ones that are actually stirring your imagination at the moment.
@Bombedrumbum
I noticed that, but since it's an old post, I figured it wasn't worth bringing up. I haven't seen anything like that in quite a while.
@Bombedrumbum
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing that video about My Little Pony being satanic when this was first posted.
Televangelists are crazy.
Did you know that Pat Robertson said the massive earthquake in Haiti a couple of years ago was a "miracle in disguise"?
@MyBoyJ
ReplyDeleteSensationalist types aren't good for anyone. We know that pretty well, as bronies. A few folks who loudly make a big deal over nothing always get a lot of attention and make everyone look bad in the end. It would be nice if stuff like that was never posted, I think, because it just causes a lot of negativity all around.
Quote of the Roundup: BY FIRE BE PURGED!
ReplyDelete@DerpGarde
ReplyDeleteA few other quotations from that video are "Smurfs do satanic pentagrams" (which doesn't even mean anything), "don't get caught up in pain", and "there have been more kids drawn into witchcraft since Harry Potter."
Sensationalist bull*buy some apples* like that just breeds more hatred.
If they actually took the time to do even the most basic research about My Little Pony before saying it "may be satanic" and promising to ask a former witch about it, I would say they thought it was evil because the show itself was breaking down female gender stereotypes and the fanbase was breaking down male gender stereotypes.
After all, the church tends to resist change whenever possible.
No offense intended to anyone who may be part of the nebulous "church" I mentioned.
@MyBoyJ
ReplyDeleteWell indeed, my entire family is, and none of 'em, including myself, obviously, have any spiritual hangups over MLP. In the comments (which I only briefly scanned), I noticed some people saying things like this almost made them ashamed to call themselves Christian. I'm not. I'm just sad such ignorance gets any airtime.
It's a lot like the way some people spammed Yamino and suddenly people were saying "OMG bronies suck." Too general. I appreciate those who understand that sane people don't make the news nearly as much as the wacky ones.
Anywayz, muffins are good.
@Pinkie Pie TO ARMS! PURGE WITH FIRE!!
ReplyDelete@Pinkie Pie
ReplyDeleteJust what it says.
@Pinkie Pie
ReplyDeleteIndeed we must.
Say what? Whats been goin on?
ReplyDeleteIdunno, lol
ReplyDeleteHEY! WALL OF TEXTS! WHY SO SOON?
ReplyDeleteQuick question guys, I think both this and this are pretty good explanations of what's what, but do you know of any others? Just wondering, I'm trying to enrich my interview a little bit.
ReplyDeleteAlso this post has far to many... Pre-posts lets call rhthem
ReplyDelete@Dom W
ReplyDeleteThis sums it up pretty well.
@MyBoyJ
ReplyDeleteO U. -_-
At any rate, yeah, the post had over 200 comments when we got here, and is it any wonder why! Meh, I think I'll just go back to ignoring the whole thing. It was silly from the first. Literally!
Time to go look for something funny.
@DerpGarde
ReplyDeleteI would certainly mention the adage of "Love and Tolerate" when differences of opinion arise. Bronies are a very diverse group, and we have remained united because the show teaches kindness towards everyone and acceptance of those who are different from yourself.
I would also mention that the show is technically superb, in terms of writing, animation, voice acting, music, etc. Also, it is extremely positive and just generally encourages good moods.
@Myboyj
ReplyDeletewat.
@Dom W
ReplyDeleteOne of the above videos in the Roundup is a Christian televangelist show that says My Little Pony "may be satanic".
It's just sensationalist garbage of course. A prime example of fundamentalists making ridiculous claims in order to get more attention.
They also say that the Smurfs and Harry Potter are satanic.
@MyBoyJ
ReplyDeleteI agree completely! That's why I said the person in the video was speaking with complete ignorance. Which is exactly why it bugged me that the video above served as a launching point for dissension and mocking Christianity and such. I don't know, I just think that's a pity, it makes me feel bad. Not to sound emo or anything.
Both the show and my beliefs teach loving one's neighbor, which is why I don't mean to personally attack anyone else for their beliefs either. That's all.
Bah! Satanic? The pope is more satanic
ReplyDelete@Dom W
ReplyDeleteHahaha, the worse is your probably right!
Bleah, I keep sounding sappy. Time for a subject change. Not that I don't find this a fascinating point of discussion, mind you, because I do think it's interesting to learn the perspective of others. Sorry if it sounded like that's not the case.
ReplyDeleteI can't stop listening to the music in the post where this song was featured. All three are fantastic.
@DerpGarde
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!
Real good. Caught myself trying (badly) to sing along to the lyrics. My dog seemed to appreciate it. Real catchy.
@RavensDagger
ReplyDeleteJust for fun and because I'm weird like that, I tried to use Audacity to speed it up so that it would sound like the original PMV. It totally doesn't work. :P
Genius!
ReplyDeleteHey, you guys, let me know what you think of my idea for another fanfic for me to work on.
I got the inspiration for this from a novel i read called Mogworld. It's a book based of World of Warcraft where game designers create a WoW-like game called Mogworld, and the story follows the characters in the game, but they live as though they are living out their lives in the fantasy world, unaware they are nothing more than game creations. The story continues on until the main character discovers the secret of their lives and tries to deal with the situation.
My idea of a fanfic is along those lines. The Mane 6, living out their lives, unaware of their existence as a T.V show, until they notice strange occurances around that tip them off to the idea that there's something wrong their their world. The way they discover about our world and the creators of the show is...well Im workign out that device. Im think dream sequences, but that seems corny. Give me your thoughts, does this sound like a good idea?
@ZeroHero
ReplyDeleteFirst off, Benjamin "Yahtzee" Croshaw is fantastic. I can't tell you how much I love Zero Punctuation.
Second that sounds interesting. Something like a giant fourth wall breaking extravaganza. I recall an earlier episode of South Park doing something like that, where the entire Earth was an Alien reality show, and they found out it was going to be cancelled and the Earth destroyed to make room for something else.
Also kind of like the Truman Show. Raven, are you still working on that crossover?
It certainly has potential, but it needs to be fleshed out a bit more.
@ZeroHero
ReplyDeleteI wrote something similar. Based off of the truman show. Never finished it.
It could work. But remember, HiE is generally frowned upon. Although if you can pull it off...
I'm working on a project that I'll abandon soon (Only have a first chapter in my head atm, so I'll write it up then trash it unto Fimfic.)
Hmm, sorry no real ideas.
Tommorrow when I won't be as busy I might re-start that multi person fic thing!
@RavensDagger
ReplyDeleteYou answered my question before you even saw it. Good show.
@ZeroHero
ReplyDeleteWell, speaking for myself, I have to say that if a crossover like that hasn't been done yet, it should have been. Sort of like Last Action Hero, but with a smidge less cheese. It certainly has potential!
teehee... I have four of the mcdonalds toys :D
ReplyDeletePinkie Pie finds the Hub logo -WHY DIDN'T THAT POST I TYPED IT RIGHT AFTER YOU SAID THAT, AHHHHHHH
ReplyDeleteAlso, this
@MyBoyJ
ReplyDeleteBip
Bap
Baam.
Also night folks!
Good luck on your idea finding!
@ZeroHero
ReplyDeleteMaybe a way to do it is to have Equestria actually exist in another dimension or something and a human TV studio has rigged up cameras to record what happens, so it's actually like a reality show.
@Ben Gibson
ReplyDeleteWhich ones?
Did you get your favorite?
@MyBoyJ
ReplyDeleteOh man, that Yahtzee. I have to hand it to that guy, he's quite consistent in his video production. How he's managed to actually remain funny (if profoundly dirty) after all this time is pretty impressive!
@MyBoyJ
ReplyDeleteWow. glad to see I'm not the only fan around here of him! XD
And yes, it's kinda like the Truman Show, so Raven if you think it's too similar, i can scrap it and try something new, especially if you are already doing it.
It was just a thought, I can always get another idea.
@ZeroHero nono I scrapped that idea... go ahead, take it! Heck, do you want mine?
ReplyDeleteBrb sleep.
@RavensDagger
ReplyDeleteI'd love ot take a read of whatever you may have, add on to the idea. :)
I had some thoguhts on the direction I wanted the story to go. Like MyBoyJ said, lots of fourth wall breakage. Haha
sorry I've been dead to the world. Actually getting stuff done for once!
ReplyDeleteAlso, now that it's midnight,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DISCORD!!!!!!!
I go!
It's Discord's birthday?
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Discord!
Or Dr. Discord!
However you do that weird melting text thing.
That's right! It is now Dr. Dͪ͊ͦḮ̘ͯS̔̐̓C̹̔Ò͓͙̫R̀͠͞D͙̫'s birthday! Happy Birthday to ya.
ReplyDeleteWe should all celebrate by spazzing out our names with unicode.
This is how I roll on birthdays.
ReplyDeleteI leave you with a video that is actually relevant to sleep.
ReplyDeleteGoodnight.
You know how people say that they have a song stuck in their head? Well, this song has been not only stuck in my head, but also playing on continuous loop ever since I first heard it.
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome, but now I know what it truly means to have a song stuck in my head. I used to think that I knew what it meant, but oh, how wrong I was......
It is playing even as I type this comment, even as I listen to other songs. I like it, but it will. not. go. away.
@MyBoyJ
ReplyDeleteHaha, good night.
@Bombedrumbum
ReplyDeleteWow, that pretty much never happens to me with instrumental music. At least it's good though.
@MyBoyJ
ReplyDeleteoh whoops! I got Fluttershy (YAY) Applejack, Twilight, and "Lily Blossom". and because I don't think there is a luna one, I got my favorite (fluttershy) YYYYEEEEESSSSSSS
@Bombedrumbum
ReplyDeleteI remember having
this song stuck in my head for about two years during the 90s.
Just thought I should mention it. Now, I'm actually going to bed.
Goodnight.
@Ben Gibson
ReplyDeleteI iz jealous of Fluttershy. <_<
I shall now retire myself, provided I can overcome this fact. Until next time everypony.
@MyBoyJ
ReplyDeleteHere's a better quality version.
I also don;t know what happened with the formatting of the first sentence.
And this time, I'm really going to sleep.
ReplyDeleteAlso, stupid fingers in my last comment.
My ring finger seems to have a mind of its own that loves the semicolon key and hates the apostrophe key.
@Pinkie Pie
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of skillet fried potato monkeys in the morning.
Okay, how am I supposed to use the new comment system when it doesn't recognize Google accounts?
ReplyDelete@Trotsky
ReplyDeleteThat's odd. My google account actually has been working lately. So much tweaking going on with the system these days...
@Trotsky
ReplyDeleteI had to make an IntenseDebate account in order to use it.
It's pretty annoying, I have to use IntenseDebate to comment on new posts, but I still have to log into Google to post here.
Double your comment systems...
The Big Book of Brony... We all know how that went. Dude got a fucking mob bash him in the skull.
ReplyDelete@ZeroHero
ReplyDeleteHere, you can have it. Just don`t forget to give credit to me and SALT if you use it :)
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KpF-v9XswfRqFzN1ujkwbcEDydpsMh-65G88-Lz6x7A/edit
Whew. What a day. More job hunting, grocery shopping, I even went and grabbed another McDonalds pony while I was at it. I got Rarity cause that's all they had, so I thought why not? :)
ReplyDeleteI'm one tired brony. Haha
And thanks Raven, I'll see what we can make of this idea. And of course I was going to give credits. ;)
@DeRockProject
ReplyDeleteWait, are you serious, or are you speaking metaphorically?
Ever have one of those moments of realization that you were on a totally different page from someone to whom you were speaking, well after the conversation was over? I think I do that way too much.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I had a question. We have a lot of fantastic writers around here, and as I was thinking to myself that I had some time for reading today. That got me wondering; when you guys are working on a fic, where is the first place you upload it? DA? FIMFic? FanFiction.net? Do you prefer to keep it in google docs until you can get a little proof-reading and editing? Please share!
@DerpGarde
ReplyDeleteI put my first one up on DA and my second one up of FimFiction because it was entered in a contest there.
In the future, I'll probably put them up on FimFiction, because it's more centered on the pony culture.
Holaholahola!
ReplyDelete@DerpGarde
ReplyDeleteI don't have a fic finished yet, but when it is, Im uploading a link to the google doc on SALT for everyone to read. Then once it's polished up and ready to go, I was probably going ot upload it to FimFic and EqD at the same time.
I like getting it proof-read before throwing out into the world for a large group to see. I'd feel far more secure knowing I had a small group of close friends point out the flaws rather than a few dozen all yelling at me that my writing sucks. :P
@MyBoyJ
ReplyDelete*on FimFiction, not of FimFiction, stupid fingers.
Although, in the future I'll probably put it on Google Docs so you guys can have a look at it first and do some critique.
When it's ready for public consumption, it'll go up on FimFiction.
@MyBoyJ
ReplyDeleteOkay, right on. I left a new comment on your DA upload, by the way. Y'all oughta go read it!
@ZeroHero
Oh, realy? Hm, okay. I thought you had at least a little bit uploaded somewhere. Obviously I was once again confused. Well, I'm looking forward to it when it does arrive!
@DerpGarde
ReplyDeleteFrom experiance, don't upload it anywhere until it is at least pre-read and proofread. If you upload something with full of mistakes you'll get shot down super fast.
On the other hoof even a horrible story with decent spelling and sentence structure will stand a chance!
@Pinkie Pie
ReplyDeleteOkay...
What's going on? Building a new computer?
@DerpGarde
ReplyDeleteThe story that is, for anyone who hasn't.
@RavensDagger
Yeah, that makes sense. Some people kind of whine about that fact sometimes, but grammar and punctuation isn't terribly hard to fix. But, it does slow down the flow when you're reading if those parts aren't in place.
Thanks guys!
@DerpGarde
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of grammar problems, my last comment is a total mess.
Brb, Chapter seven is being a b-Buy some melons-ch.
ReplyDelete@RavensDagger
ReplyDeleteChapter seven? which fic is this then? Steam Gears? How far are you in that?
@ZeroHero
ReplyDeleteAlso, am I asking too many questions? :P
@ZeroHero
ReplyDeleteYou're not asking too many questions.
I am at chapter seven atm. or at least the first half of chapter seven.
The action in this one is really tough to handle. The character Sees the action but isn't part of it. Actually sorta awkward. But, my fnas demand huge airship battles and that is what they will get.
Chapter seven part two will all be politics. Also I'll introduce Applejack for the first time. Might be fun to write (I like AJ, her accent is fun to toy around with)...
@RavensDagger
ReplyDeleteWow. Seriously, mate. You are tearing through that story. :D
Im amazed on your speed and quality. I don't know how you do it.
@ZeroHero
ReplyDeleteLOL Speed, quality...
You've never seen one of my rough drafts...
Honestly I suck, I just have damded good editors.
@RavensDagger
ReplyDeleteHaha. Still, you've got something going on there.
I'm the one who can't get things together. :P
@ZeroHero
ReplyDeleteAll you need is to not have a life and practise like crazy.
I am sure you can manage.
Have you read the guide yet? We did fill it with quite a bit of knowlage!
@ZeroHero
ReplyDeleteAll you need is to not have a life and practise like crazy.
I am sure you can manage.
Have you read the guide yet? We did fill it with quite a bit of knowlage!
@RavensDagger
ReplyDeleteI try too hard to have a life, that's probably part of my problem. :P
But I have seen our guide, and I'm getting some good pointers from what you and Chrome put down there. Getting lots of ideas for the Truman show fic. :D I'm not sure if Im going in the same direction you took, but Ill still credit you for the idea.
@ZeroHero
ReplyDeleteUnless you take actual parts there is no need to give me credit (but SALT doesn't mind getting some...)
Do you need help with it? I am always up for co-authoring (I only need to do a bit of work and I get my name on the front page...)
while I am talking of fics... AMD, I need an image for both chapters 2 and 3 of my fic... only if you want of course. But it could get your images on EqD (well, sorta) and your name will circulate a bit more...
ReplyDeleteAnywho~ please give me a yes/no. I'll have to shop around if it is the latter.
@RavensDagger
ReplyDeleteI do have some ideas I wanna bounce off ya, see what you think. :)
I always planned on plugging SALT in the credits, btw.
@ZeroHero
ReplyDeleteI am working on chapter 4 of the star writer thing.You can go there now if you want to chat.
Ah, writing. If only I had the skill (not to mention time and willpower) to do it well
ReplyDeleteAfter I finish editing Twilight vs. The Brushies! (which I'm about halfway done with), I'm going to post the new version here so it can be torn apart again. If it seems okay, I'm going to submit it to EqD.
ReplyDeleteAMD, I'm going to need a piece of cover art for it.
If you're not too busy, that is.
Then I'm going to go back to my Psychonauts crossover and edit that. Then the cycle will repeat itself.
@MyBoyJ
ReplyDeleteSure, send it over! I'll gladly tear it a new one!
"Now if you will excuse my laze, I think I'll sleep for a few days."
ReplyDeleteActually, probably just 8 or 9 hours.
Goodnight.
aww so we're not doin teh combined story ;(
ReplyDelete@MyBoyJ
ReplyDeleteNight mate!
@Dom W:
I'd love to do it. But this time put somepone else in charge. The last person was a dweeb...
@MyBoyJ
ReplyDeleteGood night then!
@Dom W
...
(Still wants to try it.)
@RavensDagger
ReplyDeleteI have returned for a short time, to input my fifth of a dime.
Maybe we could do it like the Twilight Zone, where we have several short stories connected by some kind of unifying thread, like a mystical object they all have in common.
@ravens
ReplyDeleteWell it never actually took off...
Okay, who wants to do a twi and become organiser? I would like to, however i have no previous fic writing experiance and i would probably fail.
Who wants to ? Cmon put a hoof up?
@Dom W.
ReplyDeleteAh, what the hay, i'll do it.
.......how do I begin?
@Dom W
ReplyDeleteNo writing skill required to plan it...
Also I have the plot syn we sorta came up with last time...
Oh and i also have an idea of how to write it
ReplyDeleteAn idea*
ReplyDeleteDerp
@Bombedrumbum
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!
Now pick a plot that everypony can work on (either a mutli POV at the same time, or a Twilight-zone-esq thing...)
Then build characters
Then the setting.
Then make sure everypony writes a coherant plot.
Now...
ReplyDelete
