So....I have a question, but first I must explain what happened today.
I was at Toys R Us, seeing if I could spend my money on MLP stuff. I was running back and forth from the MLP isle and the price scanner, as it wasn't close to my isle, with my arms full of MLP merch. I found out that all of the stuff was WAY overpriced, and I decided not to get anything. As I was standing and staring at the merch, looking through the chaotic mess that it was - I swear, Discord must've visited there the day before today, because this was the worst I've EVER seen it; there was no order to ANYTHING - my father happened to walk by. As you all know, he's slacked off kidding me about liking MLP. Today was an exception.
He walked up, and this conversation ensued.
Dad: Do you have your camera with you?
Me: *looks through purse* Yeah, I do. What do you need it for?
Dad: To take a picture of you.
Me: Um...me?
Dad: To take a picture of you buying MLP toys.
Me: *rolls eyes*
Dad: *laughs*
Me: *glares*
Dad: *stops laughing* What? Would that be okay? If I took your picture while you were shopping for ponies?
Me: *turns away from him and back to ponies* I don't care.
So, yeah. I ultimately decided that, because he didn't have a camera, he wouldn't take my picture. And even if he DID have a camera, and DID take a picture, I don't think I would've minded. People that saw it could think it was photoshopped, or real. I truly didn't care what he thought, or any of my facebook friends thought. At the time, I also knew he was joshing. Though, now that I look back on that....he could've been serious.
I've not bought any of the MLP shirts up until now for a couple reasons.
1. Because I've been worried that people will judge me - in a negative way - about liking MLP if they see me wearing one.
2. They're awful expensive at Hot Topic, which is the only store that actually caries them where I live.
3. Hot Topic is nearly an hour away from where I live.
4. I'm afraid I'll be made fun for wearing one of those shirts. I mean, I'm in college, but there's still people who are jerks, and will make fun of you if they think you're weird, stupid, etc.
5. Sweatshirts and T-shirts don't usually flatter my figure; they make me look fat. X( If there were any pony shirts that weren't sweatshirts or t-shirts, I'd be open to wearing them. X)
I don't care so much about what my family thinks of me for being a Brony. I DO care about what other's think of me; I'm a lot like Rarity in that regard. I don't like people thinking badly of me.
What do you guys think? What should I do? Any comments on this? Any suggestions on how I can stop thinking that people will think badly of me?

I once ate an entire bottle of lip balm when I was in Kindergarten. I'd put it on my lips and then lick it off. X) But it wasn't MLP flavored.

Quick who is best MLP: FiM antagonist?![/color][/size][/center][/b]
Villain and Villainess? Discord and Chrysalis. (Not as a couple.)
Antagonist? Um....too many to choose from!
Riku_Kaida wrote:I just want to say, I've been a closet brony for the longest time. I hated the show to death because of it's fandom for a really long time. People shoved MLP down my throat and my ex used MLP insults after I broke up with him to upset me (for example, how his friends were"20% cooler" than I was). People at my school went crazy for it and were generally unbearable to be around and I just couldn't stand it. I finally got into it when the fandom died down around my area and my little sister (under the age of 5) was watching it one day. It didn't seem all that spectacular to me until I found myself watching it more and more and staring at pony merch at the store without realizing it. I didn't really tell anyone until recently that I was okay with it, as long as people didn't get nutso on me. My mom thought I hated it too so she was reluctant to buy me any pony merch for Christmas. I just bought my belt when the After Christmas sales started and now my mom knows that I'm pretty fond of it and she's totally cool with it ^_^;
Everyone is talking about Hot Topic pony merch and I just wanted to say that once HT sells out of something, they don't restock. I wanted a Fluttershy t-shirt there but they only had extra smalls. So I asked and they said they don't restock once they sell out. What you see is what you get. Which is a bummer because they sold out of the RD sweatshirts and other pony shirts that I really wanted but they won't restock them.. So don't wait to buy guys ^^;;
I wanted to add a little note that I struggle with some mental disorders, such as bipolar, depression, and severe anxiety disorder. So if I'm ignoring people or I don't reply to someone or I seem snippy and strict, it's really not your or the fanclub's fault. I just get rapid mood swings and I'm not really conscious of what I'm doing. During those times, I tend to keep my computer put away so I don't say something I regret and get banned or I'm on my phone just browsing the forums until I'm back to rationality (it's hard to post on my phone so it's easier for me to keep my mouth shut when I'm in a mood and I'm on my phone).
As a starter post, I've been wondering about this opinion and would like to hear from all of you!
I know there are only a Mane Six but please bear with me.
Which of the Seven Deadly Sins do you think go with which Mane Six pony? They always talk about Elements of Harmony and what's their best points in times of need, but I want to know what you all think is their worst point, Seven Deadly Sin wise.
*raises hand* I'm a closet Brony right now. With the world, I mean. Not with my immediate family. They're not fans of it, and sometimes josh me around for liking it. But I'm okay with that now.
I didn't start liking it until half-way through Season 2, when I tried watching it for the first time. The first episode I watched was "Hearts and Hooves Day", and I got into it from my sister - who, quite ironically, is NOT a Brony. My brother took longer to win over, but now he's a Brony too. X) I joined this thread, and everyone's been so sweet and nice, compared to a lot of the fandom. I'm glad I'm part of this thread; I've never had a hugely horrible opinion of the fandom....except for certain people whom I'm not going to name. I don't think they're here on CS, but they're on other sites that most people here on CS visit.
Didn't have a clue about Hot Topic. X) Thanks for that tip!
I don't struggle with that stuff, but hey, I'm glad you're here. X) I'm glad you've decided to join in the fun! Want some cider? /shot
If you go off on one of those things....well....I'll keep your "disorders" in mind.
Until now, I didn't have a clue what the 7 deadly sins were. Didn't have a clue. X)
My estimates (with explanations in parenthesis) :Rarity - Greed or Lust (She wants to be the best fashion designer, she just LOVES clothes, and she's VERY obsessed with her appearance and looking good. She can be very greedy - do you remember the episode "The Return of Harmony"? In multiple episodes, she wanted to be like the ponies in Canterlot.)
Pinkie Pie - Gluttony (Have you SEEN her
eat cake?)
Fluttershy - Sloth. (She sits around and helps animals all day. Doesn't that sound lazy to you?)
Twilight Sparkle - Wrath (Have you ever noticed how easily Twilight
gets mad at ponies?)
Applejack - The only sin left is Envy. I don't think Applejack is envious of anypony, so I don't think she deserves this as a sin. I think she'd be most likely to be Prideful, and not so envious. She's very proud of her apple-bucking, and of how she helps Big Mac and Granny Smith run the farm. But she's really not PRIDEFUL about anything. Applejack doesn't seem to fit with ANY of the 7 Deadly Sins.
Rainbow Dash - Pride (She's often times boastful, especially when it comes to flying.)
Some of the ponies' explanations may not make sense, but that's how I see them. I don't really know very much about the 7 deadly sins, so...yeah. Sorry if I completely misunderstood anything.

Nice intro ^.^" I do have two MLP roleplays of my own that are in my signature.
- Lust = a perfect Rarity.
- Greed = Spike.
- Gluttony = Pinkie Pie { xP }
Haha, I'm kinda busy so that's all I could think of, but that's actually a good question. c:
OH! How could I NOT think of Spike!? Oh, yeah. He's not part of the mane six.
If Spike was included, then he'd definitely be Greed. X) He's a dragon, and dragons love to hoard things.

Never heard of THAT fanfic. I'll have to look it up later. X)
Look below for a list of fanfics that Discorded TARDIS suggested to me. X)
I've already read the first one you posted, and didn't really find it funny. It was written better than a lot of fanfics I've read, though. X) I'll have to look into these later! Thanks for the links!

Nice to meet you all! ^^
Welcome! And what a great question! There's a fanfic sort of along those lines called
Elements of Excess, where Discord turns the Mane 6's elements up to 11 so they experience extremes of their elements (Applejack is insultingly honest, Rainbow Dash is super clingy, etc.)
OOOOH. I'm going to read that right now!
Thanks for the fanfic, RD!
