Did i miss story time, whos zach?
He's one of my only friends IRL, and my only IRL friend who is also a brony. He's the person who I talk to when speculation goes nuts here, and the only person capable of talking sense into me when I'm out of my mind.
Neither of the two girls had the slightest idea what the pin meant but they liked it lol
Ramble ahead:
Funny how there aren't any real hardcore haters where I live. It actually takes more work to hate it than it does to ignore it. To really hate it with a good reason you have to do research. More often than not, researching haters wind up liking the show.
A year and a bit ago, I was a hater. I hated ponies. I hated bronies. Then I found out Zach was a brony.
I put up with it. Sure he'd sing the songs at inopportune times, and leave people nearby looking at him like he was nuts, but hey. He was (and still is) a friend.
Some folks online pressured me to create an OC. My first pony OC was a murderous demon that gored everything it saw. It was everything that the show wasn't.
Then my Aspergers/Autism kicked in. I realized it wouldn't be a believable character if I gave it no backstory. As such, I did some research. Found plot synopsis of a couple gorefics, which I classified as alternate realities. Didn't actually read or watch any of them.
And something funny happened.
I had created an "ask" session, on the premise that seven characters could corner this monstrosity and learn about his backstory (ridiculous, I know). The mane 6 plus spike was easy enough. Then I made another seven names that sounded dignified and threw them together to make enough questions that it explained the demon.
Then my Aspergers/Autism kicked in again. I threw a bunch of random pointless stuff together into the names to make them make sense.
I don't know where I technically crossed the line, if there even is one, but I was in. I scrapped the demon that started it all; it was godawful anyway. Not only that but I never settled on a good name for it.Excuse the rambling. This is why I shouldn't post this late.
