A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.

All of the usual forum rules apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

[up] Well, then "fair enough" is all I've got left to say. Still want that smacking machine though.

What JT said.

Also, it's not like I've never tried before. But women tend to not be interested in me and I'm heterosexual. My attempts have never gone anywhere.

And the only girl to ever claim she loved me (not that I believed her) stabbed me in the hand.

Honestly, I wouldn't even know how to fit a relationship into my current schedule. It's something that you don't want to half-ass after all, and honestly right now I don't think I'd have the time to dedicate to it. If I would, I'd have to cut a lot out of what I'm already doing. I.e. if I had a steady girlfriend I would probably post here a lot less, likely not spend nearly as much time writing, etc. I'd probably be happy either way, but for the time being I'm good with the status quo.

That and on the flipside, a bad relationship is far worse than not being attached at all. Any time you get into a relationship it's a major risk, because if you're serious about the other person you're going to show your vulnerabilities.

[up][up] Stabbed? o.o I'd like to hear the story on that.

[up] Yeah, a bad relationship is bad. And knowing when to pull out of one is important. But one bad relationship is not a lifetime curse.

Well obviously, I'm just saying that in my particular set of circumstances, I'd want to think pretty hard about whether or not I wanted to involve myself in a committed relationship because unless I decided to phone it in (which I wouldn't), it would basically involve overhauling my personal life, and I really wouldn't want to do that unless I was confident that the relationship would be worth the trouble.

Anyway, since we're talking about relationships, something pony related. tongue

Like I said before, I've gone on long enough without finding anyone I would like to be in a relationship with that I just assume I'm asexual. Or picky. :P

I do think relationships are a valuable thing though. Humans are made for others.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

[up]Yeah, the question is whether or not those relationships need to be romantic. I mean in some cases, yeah, obviously. We need to continue the species. But on a personal level, people do need human interaction.

Romantic is human interaction. Love without friendship and respect to support it is ultimately a fraud.

I'm not even sure if anyone has a crush on me so...if I'm not liked in that way, (shrugs) fine.

As is typical, JT is right.

[[quteblock]]Stabbed? o.o I'd like to hear the story on that. [[/qoteblock]]

It's less exciting and not as bad as it sounds. Plus I was twelve at the time, so I barely remember it other than "I was 'STABBED!!!!!! WHAT!!!????'" She was basically one of those people who would say and do things to get reactions out of you. Anyway, she was threatening me with a compass (yes, not a knife, calm down, but they still hurt) and I had my palms up because she was threatening to stab me and I'm sure she never intended to go through with it and it was an accident, but she still stabbed my hand with a compass! Seriously! What's UP with that!?''

In any event, I doubt that a relationship would make me happy by itself. I hav a seratonin defficiency and am depressive. I'm supposed to have therapy but it's expensive and I have ponies. They give me a positive emotion which I experience from nothing else and had never suspected existed before them. I call it "joy" because I don't know what else to call it. And it and going to Church (which is usually more inconvenient due to not being 24/7 ) is the only thing that can take me out of a funk. ... Well, them and antideppressents , but I don't have any more of those and they just make me believe that everything is awesome, which is a bit different.

I'm decently happy being single, but having a family of my own is a major goal of mine. So I'm gonna need to find someone at some point. It has to be someone I like though.

And hopefully someone who won't cheat on me or vanish for months at a time or turn into a completely different person.

This may be the most polite debate ever. Something akin to fair point good sir, care to make another well-argued statement I'll agree with?

Agreed. I find the idea of divorce completely terrifying. And I've seen what rushed relationships look like (not pretty).

And yeah, as I said, I'm pretty sure that women find me repulsive anyway, so yeah.

On that pony picture... there seems to be a strange contradiction. When that iconic "bone Applejack" discussion happened, there seemed to be a general consensus that RD hates nerds. Why then is RD/Twi shipping is so common then? So strange.

No idea. I find it literally the most nonsensical inter mane six pairing (possibly tied with Rarity/Rainbow and Twinkie). But I apparently ship in a completely different way from most bronies. Ask one of the prominent Twi Dash shippers here.

(Seriously! People are like "This would be an interesting pairing with fascinating conflict" and I'm like, "Why would you want that!? Who in their right mind wants their relationship to have "fascinating conflict"!?")
