Tales About Brony.
When I walk,
there is a big, fat man,
bald and muscular.
I entered, and he said, "what do you want?"
I said, "I want to make a tattoo."
He said, " what tattoo do you want? "
I said," Here, "
he said," What is that? Puppy? cat? "
Someone behind < say, "it's a pony,"
and I said, "I want him to make my tattoo."
Yee-haw!
Okay, already,
Here it is, now.
Yee-haw!
Welcome to Apple Acres.
come here

Apple Cobbler, Bumpkin, Turnover,
Apple Pie, a little Jazz,
Cousin Braeburn,
Big Mac, Apple Bloom,
and this one is Granny Smith!
Yee-hoo!
Don't worry, Twilight,
I happen to be
The fastest Pegasus in the sky!
The fastest Pegasus
in the sky!
Because I'm awesome.
Ba-ha-ha-ha!
I became a voice.
About 6 years now,
p>
I think.
I am a University graduate
Canadian Performing Arts,
and basically selected
by an agent
on the show we did,
and told me
that he thought I would
be a good voice,
so I enter
Then he starts sending me
for auditions,
and it's pretty tense
initially.
I enter the room </ p >
inside they know each other,
I'm just a stranger.
I don't really know
how, you know,
>
maneuver with a microphone.
I mean, I can indeed sing,
That's good,
but yeah, I'm like
p>
thrown there,
the first voice I filled in was
is...
characters
named Slim Pigs. </ P>
He's a pig as thin as
the paper that
lives in the warehouse area
then adventures. </ P>
He , like, & apos; apos; pig,
but all other animals
I was hired to fill
this little boy's voice.
So, like this Slim Pig sound,
"Hi little chicken,"
do you want to
"adventure today?"
And he is like
This little one.
Because I'm on the show myself,
I'm also the filler. </ P>
It's like this...
"Adventure! Oh! Adventure!" </ P> p>
I have to be a cow.
This sound is
like, a strange sound.
"Oh!"
"Slim Pig." </ P>
Please help me! </ P>
My head is stuck on the fence! </ P>
"Help me & apos; moo & apos; -ve move it! "
♪ Fred Coconut ♪
♪ Fruit Salad Island ♪
One of the roles favorite,
I've ever got
is the Warner Brothers cartoon
& apos; Coconut Fred. & apos;
Fruit Salad Island,
and my role
sexually confused tomatoes.
He doesn't know what he is
fruit or vegetables,
so he is very sensitive,
and he often chooses.
"What am I?"
Fruit or vegetables?
One of them.
Can give me a wedgie.
I auditioned for
for the new Care Bears series,
and they were looking for a new Care Bear sound
It's called Oopsy Bear,
who is also a small child.
I think they have
Many voices for him,
p>
but nothing matches,
so they pull me there,
to Chris Farley,
like, you know, sort of,
its role as a clumsy man
always?
He will , like, falling...
"Ah, I'm really sorry."
I didn't mean to mess up
the thunderbolt coaster.
Sorry...
I have to play so
Boris Bootie.
He is in the event
Named Ricky Sprocket.
That is a kind of show biz,
and Boris Bootie
are just ordinary people
who really like
breakfast cereal.
Then, so I thought I was clear.
will play the child continues
because of that , like, my voice character,
Is the voice of a child.
So when I audition.
My Little Pony,
I think it's clear.
I'll be a Spike,
The baby dragon.
I thought, "Oh, I just need, you know,
use my little boy's voice. "
Twilight!
K-you know.
I like to eat diamonds.
>
You know,
he's like a little kid.
I don't...
I didn't pass casting as Spike,
But I was called back
not... to fill in the Spike,
but for Applejack
and Rainbow Dash.
Finally I
got 2 roles,
was pretty crazy.
My job was fun.
This is cool.
>
This, like, um...
You know, you just have to hang out
Okay, whatever you want.
Hey! What's wrong? </ P>
I'm Ashleigh. </ P>
I, uh, at the event location
we just played with Hey Ocean! </ P>
And this is
my first Brony meeting.
You can & apos; speak & apos; for us?
Well, uh, yes,
I think Applejack
It's very nice you came to Hey Ocean!
And Rainbow Dash.
Very excited!
I have to watch
And Manganese now!
All right.
Peace!
Bye!
Thank you!
see you soon!
love u!
Brony
is a fan of television shows. </ P>
My Little Pony:
Friendship is Magic,
and... </ p >
they are usually men
of the age group
18 to 30, say so.
Obscenity is certainly
thought in my head
the first time I heard about it.
I want specifically
not shouting
The Bronies tonight.
Events now, you're right
in the middle of a normal scale.
since replays
classic 80s cartoons last fall,
it attracts a lot of
male viewers.
Combine words.
"Brother" and "pony".
Audience that doesn't
you expect. </ P>
Fanboys starts
creating pony art,
posting fan videos on YouTube,
and create a blog that is dedicated to the show.
Weird match demographics, but they work together.
I mean this!
Bronies have changed the
definition of masculinity.
I think
This is the end...
Civilization?
What happens
is that by spreading
Internet fast access,
almost all of the media with fandom.
Is fully online.
This is, in many senses,
new types of fandom.
that crazy phenomena
on the web, in this media...
really can't explained, right.
What happens when the movement
puts a lot of new ideas
into circulation?
This, uh,
really doesn't make sense. </ P>
around them.
Internet
is a complicated idea,
a set of protocols that have changed everything.
Trying to make
our imagination and desires
enter the world
pure fantasy. </ P>
we are in the world
illusion.
The true nature of reality
appears
from outside the horizon.
I get an invitation
for to... BronyCon.
Brony...
BRO-NYC-Con, in New York,
it's a meeting
the Bronies.
It's crazy enough.
Apparently it's
Many of these events are held,
even though this is the first one.
>
I was invited.
"Hello!"
My name is Purple Tinker,
the world's biggest event for
apos fans; My Little Pony:
Friendship is Magic.
We are currently
in planning stage
our next event,
BronyCon, end of January.
This will be held
in New York,
but some are missing...
Miss Ashleigh Ball...
That's me!
"May Miss Ball"
we treated
like a star
for one special weekend...
Wow.
I guess... we see later
I'm an expert mechanic Harley Davidson.
I have and can build
custom motorcycles
from the beginning.
I can weld.
Run a CMC machine.
I play campus soccer.
Uh, what's more
Bodyguard ranch hand (?)
for science fiction writers,
I work as a male glue GM
GM dealer.
On top of that, I watched
the little girl's shows. </ P>
I was known as DustyKatt
in fandom,
and I known as
The most masculine brony in the world.
If this person can like
girl shows,
You can too.
p>
Every character doesn't have an answer, right?
They have to look for it,
They must learn
from their mistakes,
and that's what attracted me to My Little Pony,
Because there are
stories about characters
who learned from
something and grow.
There are six main characters
Twilight Sparkle.
The characterization
is quite easy.
Twilight
is smart and closed.
Then there's Applejack,
who is a hard worker,
and always reliable
but the problem is
he doesn't want it someone else helps.
Fluttershy,
is very shy.
That is one of the mistakes
that becomes a character.
>
Rainbow Dash...
very confident!
He never fits in Wonderbolts,
Because of Wonderbolts </ p >
is a team.
There is no "I" in the "team."
Rarity...
His generosity... </ p >
It could be a mistake.
He must get rid of it. He must learn from it.
extraordinary party queen.
always take care of
unimportant things,
but still, when someone
need to be picked up,
when someone feels sad,
he is always there all the time.
Every character
is a unit
>
of an archetype
personality,
Until people can see themselves
as Rainbow Dash,
Rarity,
or Applejack.
That's the basis of
a good story
Don't think of it as
six small horses in Ponyville.
Imagine as 6 friends
learning from each other.
It's just that it's accidentally wrapped
in a package of pastel pony
This is an event for children,
but that doesn't mean
it's just that.
I'm just a man who happens to be
love TV shows.
I like My Little Pony.
I like what it does,
I like the messages in it,
and I want to be a part of it,
And I want to be able to
play in that world.
We should drink beer,
go up motorbike,
harass women,
and like to blast.
That's what rooted
in our brains
since you were born
and put in a blue box.
Well, I like what I like.
I don't need the community
Be told what I should like,
and that's all that needs to be known.
Ei-ei-o, and here it is!
Like Twilight Sparkle
say,
"We must & apos; learn & apos; this is
immediately!"
About a year then,
Brony Phenomena
pops up,
and when I hear that,
I think,
" Someone should research this. "</ P>
" Fandom "is the term used
community,
and in general,
people see fandoms
with a little, like,
"they need to
live real life."
Now, in fact, actually,
where did the term "fan" come from?
"Fanatic."
You know it can,
um, Carolina Panthers.
>
It could be, um, Star Trek.
Eh, it could be
My Little Pony...
Can be Oprah.
Can you do anything.
The age of the Bronies
ranges from 14-57,
with an average age
about 21 years.
Then there is a gender question.
We generally find around
85% of men and 15% of women .
Some female Bronies
like to be called Bronies,
some like to be called.
Pegasisters.
We still learning
15% of those women,
how many became Bronies
because they had
Brony's boyfriend.
Hmm-hmm. Yes. </ P>
Bronies have a low value
in neuroticism. </ P>
Neuroticism is a kind of
tendency...
I call it
the tendency to
experience negative emotions
like angry, anxious,
worry, depressed,
and Bronies
have a low number,
so again , can
be said to be the overall score...
of course there are Bronies who are depressed,
worry,
But that very positive.
Level of education...
we found about 35%.
From the Bronies
is high school,
>
and about 62% are
or have finished college.
Then one of the questions,
about sexual orientation,
which...
many people ask the first time
hear about Bronies
like,
"Well, are they all
gay? "
84% of Bronies explain
One and a half percent
homosexual,
and about 10% bisexual,
and about 3-4% asexual.
Asexual is,
Based on clinical experience,
some people who
are no longer interested in sex. </ P>
It's still a mystery, when I thought...
It's still a mystery.
It's a mystery to all of us,
but, um, I thought that... </ p >
that, um,
that society as a whole
began to accept
in being
towards the existence of the Bronies.
My name is Mike Bernstein,
and I'm the broadcast director
from Everfree Radio.
Everfree Radio
is a radio station online
and network programs.
for and most markets
from the Brony community.
Finally I watched it because I thought,
"Okay, obviously this is a phenomenon.
I have to understand the reason . "
I watched the first episode,
and the first episode was cliffhanger, two-part,
" Okay, fine, I'll watch /> 2nd part "
You know, you have to see how
the initial story ends.
Then, you know,
I got to the end of the second episode.
I'm like, "Yes, that's good enough."
It's OK, it's not bad.
You know, I'd better watch the third episode. </ P>
To make sure
that, you know,
the quality of the story is maintained...
Then fourth
and fifth,
until the 17th episode,
like, "Damn."
You know
"I think I'm Brony."
Yes, I recommend
I accept
4chan is where
exchange pictures and messages
where the Brony movement starts,
approximately... </ p >
I thought it was October 2010.
Someone wrote an article.
called My Little Pony:
Friendship is Magic
is a program that
is produced by a small industry.
New cartoon shows are almost
always about merchandising,
become someone on 4chan
decided to watch it
and say, "Hey, that's pretty good,"
Then they make
post about it .
Other people start watching it,
and they are like, "Hey, yeah, it's pretty good."
And it becomes sort of, like, weird phenomenon.
They finally it has some sort of
has its own little clan.
more people are watching the show
out of curiosity,
"Okay, this is just a joke right? "
then they started posting images in the forum,
and 4chan moderators decided,
" No, we don't want images these pony to be everywhere. "
So they close it,
become Bronies to create a new forum.
where My Little Pony
is the main theme
In this case, 4chan is the beginning of
of the Brony community.
This is the deepest side
of internet openness.
Actually, people like to think, okay, Bronies,
"Bronies" come from
"brooches" and "ponies."
not that
It appears from "/ b /"
in the forum, and "ponies."
From where it came from.
That "/ b /" 4chan and "ponies,"
then became Bronies,
but I prefer
the "bro"
because it feels a little more,
You know, "Hey, bro!"
That's what I think.
So yes,
fill the voice is my job,
and I just, well, love...
Love my profession,
love that I can be a cartoon
to make a living,
but my desire is music.
on Hey Ocean!
There are two other members
other than myself,
Dave Vertesi
and Dave Beckingham.
The three of us have
music during
almost seven years now,
and in the last few months,
we have felt the presence of
Bronies.
dozens of Bronies
p>
came to the concert.
I didn't watch
the first episode
and then just like that.
dragged in or whatever.
I don't want to offend,
but, well, I don't care
with My Little Pony.
Everything we do is messing around
But I know that the
we find that love
I think is rather difficult
for both of them,
in the presence of
other fanbases that, well,
to our music.
Yes, that's weird,
30-year-old man
likes small children's events
About mare, you know,
can fly and such,
but it shows,
it can be very radical
and very good ,
and that's important.
I like sincere people
and who, well,
"Here I am, </ p >
And this is my favorite. "
I like Bronies because of that.
Dear
Don't waste time
Sing to nothing voiced
Ooh hoo whoo ooh
Sing
because you have no choice
Ooh whoo ooh ooh
No
compared
can stand on the stage
sing with an amazing band
and some of your best friends.
This is what I like
more than anything,
and of course that's my dream.
Don't say
that we've been so far
Just to start again
or break
Sing
When you lost on the ocean
Sing
Because you have no choice
Ooh
Our love
Like a big blue wave
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
I just found out Hey Ocean!
when finding out
about Ashleigh
Ooh, ooh
Aku baru tahu Hey Ocean!
saat mencari tahu
tentang Ashleigh
and other Bronies, it's like,
"Oh hey, you know, he's a band member, you know."
"Wow "Really?"
Then you examine it, and
Then it's awesome.
Mandopony is a kind of persona
that I developed </ p >
to release music online
based on My Little Pony:
Friendship is a Miracle.
The impressions produce
a lot positive value,
and many good things happen,
even though
there is something disappointing, like, poison
of... so many people
are poisoning it,
are hostile and want to destroy (bronies).
makes me disgusted
and very sad.
That's why I wrote this song.
We're still far away
from Equestria
still very far away
I thought, you know, saying
& apos; we are far from Equestria & apos;
Just the way I conclude
the fact that, yes,
all things turned out,
we are so far from this world. </ P>
Like, < br /> characters in the show,
they learn, they forgive,
they share,
and they celebrate
friendship and kindness
instead of making fun of it,
and we are still
so far from that,
but keeps improving.
I thought it was improving. </ P>
Far from Equestria
still very far away
I just tried
to decide now. </ P>
To go or not.
That's the question
And this is
crazy time.
I'm really busy
with my work now
and a tour with the band.
I don't know
do I have energy
to go
to the meeting
I heard crazy things
about convention.
for someone like me
who is fairly new in that case
I might not be able to
fix it.
I don't know.
I didn't expect
to have a fan, per Se,
From the voice I filled,
was very crazy.
I'm nervous.
I'm obviously nervous.
I have, um...
I don't know,
Someone makes
feel bad,
but I will
I face.
You must do
something you fear in your life,
and I think
this will be
really, really strange
and the opportunity very good,
be...
I'll do it.
I'll go to BronyCon.
BronyCon.
>
Is a convention for Bronies,
My Little Pony fans:
Friendship is a Miracle,
or every generation.
from My Little Pony,
to gather and share
their interests...
art, music, or just
about impressions itself.
many will come
from California,
from Europe,
because Ashleigh Ball
will be present at BronyCon.
is the star of the event,
because they are the voices of from the character of his idol.
You know, hear some Bronies.
Talk about Rarity...
oh, they will be happy
meeting Rarity. </ P>
In the community
they become greatest celebrity.
can best attract people
to come to this convention
because they want to have
sort of, yeah, look face
with the closest thing
to the character.
I think we are almost
one thousand guest lists,
and we can still
serve ticket purchases directly.
Basically we have passed the limit.
For a convention.
Military Bronies are just performance connoisseurs
And being in the military,
and can be as far as
someone who watches routine shows
and maybe has some pieces art,
And people others
who like everything.
This is the Mark 46 machine gun.
semi automatic version,
but shoot 223 bullets (/ sec )
Friends make fun of me
For years because I am Brony,
I told them
what was more manly
from together
with all friends with machine guns
And all tactical equipment and everything.
And come out with Brony equipment?
The definition of men
is male human
with the X & Y chromosome.
That's all. </ P>
is as simple as
Namaku Bryan Mischke.
I am primarily an artist
because of hobbies,
all of them have become
the only
my interests. </ p >
I have long experience,
six years of serving
on the National Guard,
National Guard Army,
I thought that just explain
who I am
at the age of 16,
I'm still in school
I DO
around the age of 16 and a half.
age 17, at my birthday,
I joined the military.
I sworn that day
my recruiter invite me,
and age 18, I'm in Iraq.
The best allegory possible
can be used for describe Iraq,
um, appears later
when I see the Tron movie,
and is very interesting,
because basically, when you go to the world of Tron,
Everything is barren,
everything is really organized.
it's like... it feels
real, but not real,
is not real, like, this life.
It's like that.
Pseudo is not felt life. It's desert.
That's desert for me
I'm there.
Every experience is difficult
only satisfying
after the experience passed.
I can say
that the last 5 months
in Iraq
might be wrong one experience
my hardest,
or indeed the hardest.
To be honest,
is the most difficult.
Appears after that.
I'm going through about a year and a half.
enough depression is deep
after returning from Iraq.
For some reason, I don't know
why I feel like this,
and I still can't </ p >
concludes it,
but I feel very
ashamed after a while,
for everything,
even for the military, maybe.
I don't cry, no,
I only remember
one time,
I just walked around,
p>
and so many things happen,
And I'm ruined
call mom,
and I cry roughly, three minute,
it made me a bit emotional now,
But, like,
I let go of everything.
I talked about everything that affects me,
about all that.
Life is much simpler when you're in the desert.
Everything is planned for you and everything
Now you go back
to the real world
try to find out. </ P>
I stopped working. </ P>
My habits. </ P>
I stopped drawing at all.
I didn't see the point. No money.
Doesn't make me happy.
I feel I have no purpose anymore. </ P>
In that area. </ P>
Then I see My Little Pony
I found the reason to draw again,
p>
Now I'm here,
make art again, so...
don't underestimate
something that makes you happy.
You know, if you draw Pony
make you happy,
do it
Yes, I have drawn this,
I think I can say I have drawn this picture.
This is an image quite detailed.
I did this image
maybe about a week.
This is the first picture.
my work
from very, very long.
It's like a trigger
back to art
after maybe about one,
one and a half years vacuum.
Princess Celestia is amazing.
Princess Celestia
rules the kingdom,
publishes the sun,
and she's like
surrogate mother.
for Twilight Sparkle,
the main character of this show.
Of all the characters
on the show,
He is
I admire most
He lives a thousand years,
and it feels like that.
As if, he had
seen everything ,
and already know what
should be said at the right time.
Every adult who really has
pass everything
and be very wise
and really care and everything like that.
It will be
Princess Celestia. </ P>
You know, I mean, your mother definitely Princess Celestia,
In my opinion. </ P>
Nicole Oliver,
Princess Celestia voice actress,
will be present at BronyCon,
and I really want to give this picture to her,
the image I made from the character.
I think it's very important I can give it to him,
because I really want him to know.
That he is able to
change someone's life.
That is very important to me
I really want him to know that
and thank him for
being part of it,
And I hope that
will run with well.
My name is Phoe.
I'm a blog writer,
and admin
in Equestria Daily,
which is
Pony's main news and media blog
for fans,
for Brony fandom.
Basically...
we do what we think
attracts people to see.
More or less,
turns out to be a fan hub,
because most of the we do
is to post something
that others make
what we think is cool.
We also sometimes interview
Actors and writers
directors and such
talk to them
about their experiences.
If something happens,
like if Hasbro pulled out a new toy.
Or have an announcement,
or whatever like that,
we report it
as soon as possible.
Every speculation,
rumors, anything,
all stories
Like the gossip column
that is stuck in the newspaper
with stapless.
Whenever something comes out
related to the event
that produces fan works,
Within, roughly, three hours,
there are, for example,
Songs made professional.
absurd
is amazing and beautiful,
and I can't ignore it.
when we first start,
we have a target
our site can,
up to one thousand & apos; views, & apos;
otherwise, even 10,000,
"Oh, god, it's amazing." </ P>
I mean, it's only in,
1 month. </ P>
Then we keep going up,
from 100,000, 200,000...
jump to 300,000,
so fast.
Up to half a million.
Like , "yes, wow, we succeeded."
Until the 1 million mask
in an instant,
and now we are almost
260 million-views,
with more than 1 million views monthly...
More than a million...
2-3 million monthly,
And it's like,
"Ha, remember when 1000 views are still difficult?"
"Yes..."
I thought ideal goals
only,
animated media outlets,
in one place,
And now it is sort of
CNN for silly cartoons. </ P>
I decided that I needed a rest. </ P>
I need to
stay away from the city,
and one of my friends my best
lives in Saltspring,
he invites me
and a number of
my close friends.
My work is many.
Charging sounds for many series,
also with bands,
And importantly, for me,
stay away from it all </ p >
for a while
some sort of escape.
Fried apples...
rhubarb apple cakes...
Apple turnover.
I feel like myself now
in actual form.
Some people can,
are so familiar with that.
They are very
know you well,
bring you back
be yourself,
and it's important to have a
friend in your life.
My name is Stephen Carver,
but I use the name
SaberSpark online. </ p >
My YouTube Channel
its name is SaberSpark,
I created & apos; top 10 lists, & apos;
made a review,
I also talked about Bronies
and their activities in the community,
things like that.
I am a sociologist,
that's what I learned a lot
in college,
that's where my Brony is, you know,
It's very disturbing.
There is a term we use in sociology. </ p >
called & apos; Pink-Blue syndrome. &
When boys or girls
are born,
they are immediately given
pink hat or blue hat
means, "You're a boy, you're a girl."
Culture awakens from it
men exercise ,
girls play
With their dollhouses.
Guys are hard, girls are whiny.
Take for example, for example,
>
My Little Ponies.
This toy has been designed
for sale to little girls.
Strangely men,
also like the show,
and they also want to
buy the merchandise.
little girls
who like shows, My Little Pony
and those who are older,
these two groups
appear
in the same passageway
that was designed
for the little girl,
it became quite strange,
You know, there is a gender role conflict. </ P>
If I stand in this hallway,
There might be a mother
and her daughter through

then see adult men
look around for pony toys.
Their minds are programmed
to conclude
the worst possibility,
maybe, you know,
"Oh, he must be a pedophile,"
or, "He is still childish infantile, "
or," Something is wrong with it. "
Men are getting bolder
Entering the pink passageway to buy pony toys
is a sign that they are not afraid to say
"Hey, I'm a man,
and I like My Little Pony. "
Men can, you know,
love pink stuff,
and a girl can Just like the blue one,
When we get through
the obstacle,
we will be able to start for some progress,
like a woman who could be firefighters or astronauts
and become police,
and men might be able to
teacher for elementary school children
or nurse.
It doesn't matter.
Initially, it's a little surprising
Because of that & apos; My Little Pony. & Apos;
There's a big stigma
it's pink and feminine,
bad quality cartoons
with 20 minutes of advertising.
Then it becomes
impressions that
are very good.
I think
it's a unique children's show
in it
many adult references...
I mean, quote Star Wars,
Brady Bunch,
Benny Hill,
all media
that 7-year-old girls
will not understand. </ P>
Indeed, the characters
are created
as guidance.
But this is more of a social function
.
p>
Look
in the 20th century.
You will see
that after each disaster
and chaos in history,
there will be something
arises as a reaction.
reaction to World War I.
The beatniks
and the Bohemian generation
are the reactions of
World War II.
There is a Korean War,
Then the Vietnam War immediately follows,
And what you see after that,
at that time, </ p >
other than the hippie movement?
You know,
don't believe in who is over 30 years old.
Then to 9-11 ,
and I think 10 years later,
this is what we see.
We are tired of
all violence,

we are tired of terrorism,
we are tired
worry about this.
Let's find something
who is tolerant, friendly...
for our escape.
Close your eyes
It's all about
conflict resolution.
Have a positive message,
and not only that,
is also entertaining.
We are currently
at Santa Monica Pier, uh,
enjoying a Brony meeting
or Bronies.
How are you? </ P>
Brony gathered,
they were just a group of people
My Little Pony enthusiasts who wanted to gather. </ P>
Currently there are 800 members. </ P>
We have a small event
suddenly. </ P>
Hang out at one member's house,
Or, you know, they will,
"Hey, let's go to In-N-Out at 2 am,"
and & apos; boom, & apos; 8 people come there.
Because their house is close,
or we will plan big event
like Grand Galloping Gala Last Friday,
was attended by 250 people,
um, you know...
only a group of people
who wants to hang out and have fun
getting to know each other, so...
Yes, there is a website

There is one friend of mine
he's my best friend since second grade. </ P>
I told you from the beginning
I'm Brony,
he keeps making fun of me,
never stops.
And about a month ago,
I forced him to watch
one episode,
and he immediately liked it.
My school.
Small.
There 32 children
in my foster,
it's almost impossible for me
to adjust
if you don't like
which everyone wants
to match,
and I don't.
Last year,
at the end,
towards the end of the year,
we just started
gathered
as a group of friends
who likes My Little Pony,
and we decide that we want
to create a club.
So we have a friend
who is good at drawing
Vector on a computer,
like this,
and he designs
This shirt is for us.
And there is Harmony
composed of
elements
periodic table,
and it's kind of a pun,
because the greatest strength
in that show
is an element of Harmony,
and that is some kind of miss,
and then
he made the vector,
and we all bought the shirt.
Brony?
No, I've never heard of it.
If you really like it.
My Little Pony,
think it's important to you.
some sort of adult comedy... isn't it?
Someone likes things which are even stranger than that.
That's enough random.
People have to grow
around now.
That is, quite strange.
who is
make that adorable logo
with "N" Northwestern and Twilight Sparkle?
Are you?
I like the idea
make Twilight Sparkle our official mascot,
Because A, he is a nerd,
and Northwestern
is famous for nerds,
and B, he's purple,
And Northwestern purple,
so I think we should accept.
that Twilight Sparkle
are our mascots.
They have, where
local local associations
of different universities
from all over the world, even,
and I saw it at Northwestern, and I, like,
"Wow, they really..."
There are Bronies
at Northwestern.
That's cool.
"Come see what's there."
And I join.
>
We usually meet,
every 2 weeks,
um, watch new episodes,
Watch some other episodes.
Bring people together,
You know, make friendships...
right, I guess,
and I guess it's kind of cool
p>
that the event, you know,
creates friendship
in the real world.
The most important of any community
is not just the show,
but the reaction is against event
and can share
your first reaction
in that episode
and whatever.
is possible You found on the internet, and...
but that was just the beginning.
From what we've done,
like parties and games
food and have fun,
all of this.
There seems to be a hidden
in most news .
Or writing about us
where 2/3 of the time,
runs out for
assures people
that we are not crazy,
and that is rather...
well, we might be crazy,
but not criminally insane,
I think so.
Northwestern is the place
where brotherhood is very important,
When it comes to Northwestern,
I swear I will not join a brotherhood.
All fraternal specs
enter the whole "bro" in Brony .
I mean, it's all about community.
you can share it
with other people,
and that, you know,
p>
the miracle of being Brony.
There must be some sort,
books on packing suitcases.
Go to BronyCon...
Yes, interesting.
Really?
What do I do?
My Rainbow Dash costume
is mine.
Submitted tomorrow, actually,
Joking
I won't do that
To be honest,
I don't know what the convention will be like.
Um...
I think I have an idea,
but...
yes, I'm not so sure. </ P>
Like, they can become...
they can be very scary.
Maybe I should bring
bear beaters or the like.
Even...
There was once a stalker
some time ago. </ P>
I think it's a man. </ P>
He called me. </ P>
He called me. p>
With, sort of, voice changer,
something, change its voice,
so that it sounds very low
and scary,
like "scream,"
like that,
is really low,
and... yes,
only asks what I wear
what I did that night,
and, yes,
is a little strange,
like
attacks your privacy.
strange feelings,
but only to that extent.
People, say, "you have to call the police.
you have to do this-that, "
but I let it pass.
Um...
Bronies I think
is not the culprit.
>
The Bronies I have met so far
are really good.
They are really enthusiastic
with the show
and will definitely
interesting can be in a room
that is full, with the Bronies.
Oh, man.
You know, all of my philosophies in life.
Is doing what needs to be happy,
As long as you don't hurt
other people, you know. </ P>
Some people call me a big boy. </ P>
My wife and I, we are just children big boy,
And we're happy.
You know, I have my own house,
but I like video games.
I have Transformers,
My Little Ponies...
We like to do something
that makes us smile, you know.
I not so worried about, you know,
What he thinks about us.
grew up in all this.
We just want to raise them with this happiness,
you can like anything.
It doesn't matter if you are young, mature,
girl, boy...
if that makes you happy,
there's nothing wrong with that,
You know, just do it.
And if that makes
other people uncomfortable,
that's their problem
they have to take care of themselves,
because if you walk the road with a smile,
Ponies pictures are on your shirt,
p>
nothing can hurt you.
there is a positive message,
this show...
is very good in attracting
each spectrum,
whether children, or adults.
There are no evils
that this show has brought.
ever existed
bad storm
about a month ago,
he told me,
he said, "Daddy, there was a big storm",
was very loud, and I was afraid.
I fell from my bed...
And I say, "Arianna",
why don't you come
And wake us up...
Then he told me, I will never forget, he said,
"Oh, yes, father,"
Pinkie Pie came out of my TV
and tell me to
"laugh at ghosts."
Pinkie Pie teach it
handle fear.
You know, not about like programs for little girls.
It's about love
all the messages,
and frankly,
if all these people watch the show,
Those who have happiness
are so strong moral, you know,
be kind to your friends, always honest...
all these good things,
and people follow this.

Bronies for Good
clearly shows
that, you know, you can take
what this fandom has
and use it
for good purposes.
Bronies for Good really has a contribution
to social change,
in terms of "helping others."
This isn't just things are good for America,
but also for the world.
The world needs that.
We need to get out
of feelings
That everything
can be done alone
and the world, mm...
is not subject to change,
because it's wrong,
and the Bronies
make that happen.
Eh, that's pretty good ,
but can you make 20% cooler?
Need
about 20% cooler.
20% cooler.
20% is cooler.
needs to be around 20% cooler.
I think
in one episode,
Rainbow Dash talks
about
being 20% cooler.
I'm not even sure what it means,
But Bronies find the dialog line,
I guess,
and feel that
is really entertaining,
or something about it with other meanings.
I mean, it's just awesome phrases.
That's just...
who says "20% is cooler?"
How to make coolness percentages?
There are, I've seen,
With writing,
"make it 20% cooler."
Or...
people always write on
pages YouTube & Hey; Hey Ocean! & Apos; we
Like, "This band is 20% cooler,"
or whatever, like...
"20% cooler"
or, you know, Bro-Hoof,
you know,
all that signals
are used by the group, fandoms
to recognize,
"Ah, there's another Brony."
Yes, it's
so.
20%.
It's not that much cool.
Sometimes people get confused,
and when they're confused,
it's a chance
to spread the word.
It takes 20% cooler.
20% is cooler.
20% cooler.
Approximately, 20% cooler, really.
20% cooler.
20% cooler!
No, honey,
must be 20% cooler.
Mmm.
I'm a Brony.
Not the

"Eh..."

My Little Pony, kid. Okay? </ P>
know what I did, when finished from the gym? </ P>
I go home, take my protein shake,
turn on Comcast DVR,
and sit with a big bowl of cereal
watch My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
Do you know why?
Because it increases my
testosterone
so I can go back to the gym again
and start pumping it out
big, more big, and bigger, child.
Yes, so you have to...
I like being strong.
one thing I really like, only...
I don't...
when I was a kid I was bullied often,
as if
was powerless with the reality
that someone always pushed you down? </ p >
I hate that feeling.
So the fact that I am stronger
and take martial arts classes,
Not only to defend myself,
but I can defend my friends,
and I can take care of my family if there is a jerk,
that's my real goal,
every time, I get stronger
than yesterday.
If you know me, I'm
a big fan of Dragon Ball Z, </ p >
the show really inspired me
as a child.
So... it could be like them
is what I admire,
but when I was young I was fat and lazy.
You know, some people, watch together,
Then think,
"it's so cool to be like him,"
Then go home to eat
diet and baking soda
and things like that,
that's how I was.
Then I met some friends in high school
who are also interested in weight lifting,
they invited me to come along and show all,
and I like,
p>
"Hey, I will lift weight."
But I still
a nerdy inside.
Bronies are not,
>
People who are physically active,
as I see on BronyCon, but that's not a bad thing.
"Hey, if you"
want to be healthier
and more confident,
I can help you...
So I uploaded
fitness videos
since then. </ P>
I just want to show
you can continue to like the shows
and stay in shape,
because I think when you are fit,
you can be more confident,
and feel better.
You look better.
Everything just falls
around you, that...
falls into place.

Everything is just...
awesome.
One day, Patrick and I,
are getting ready
leave the office,
and Patrick says,
Ever heard of Brony? "
I said," what? "
" Brony. "
And he said,
"Will told me that
I'm a Brony. & Apos;"
He told me,
"Dad, I drew again". </ P>
I said, "okay, Will, you know, that's good,"
Because he is very artistic.
And I said, " So, what did you draw? "</ P>
And he paused,
" Will, what did you draw? "</ P>
And he said,
"You've heard of it.
My Little Pony?"
My name is Will.
I'm a high school student.
Um... .
I think I'm pretty normal,
I think.
Luckily, knowing my father,
I sort of had hoped, > You know,
he won't, like, panic
And drive me from home,
but when first told him, he hesitated a little. </ p >
Like, "What?"
When I told him I drew again.
You know, he is happy,
and he , "okay, what do you picture ?"
And I'm like, "Well, this sounds really weird",
But I draw, pony. "
He said," You mean, like a real horse? "
I said,
" No, no, no . "
Like, cartoons.
Like, My Little Pony...
You know, dad only knows things, like , you know,
old stuff,
be a little,
"what?"
Jadi aku mulai menjelaskannya.
"Oh, that's a new show on TV. Everything,"
And my dad is like,
"Oh, that's cool"
And then
which surprised him
was when I said, "You know",
Many people watched it. "
I saw my father,
>
he is like, "Ohh..."
that is when daddy
is in psychological mode,
You know?
So my father
obviously didn't worry about that.
So we were picked up
at the airport,
and that's really not
p>
as I thought
There was a line of Bronies
wearing a uniform T-shirt,
one holding
the Rainbow sign Dash. </ P>
Therefore I know
that is definitely
enthusiastic
become Bronies,
and everything
is in it
in general,
so yes, this will be...
a journey.
tomorrow will be crazy
in my opinion.
Then I leave to try your luck
in the big city, Manehattan,
the most cosmopolitan ..
It's here!
We are here now,
in Manehattan. </ P>
Oh, God, maybe that's
the reason they held it here. </ P>
This is night
before the conference,
Big BronyCon tomorrow.
Just arrived at the hotel,
put default,
and... ooh!
I'm a little
researching Brony.
There are several things
yang tak ku tahu
about the world of the Bronies.
I think I'm just a little,
I might be a little worried
they'll ask me
some, questions crazy
about the world of Equestrian
where the bangs live
I might not know the answer...
The truth is unnecessary,
p>
but I feel like.
I really... I have to.
I thought there would be lots of people asking me.
Pony voices tomorrow.
& apos; need
20% cooler. & apos;
Okay, that is my opening
tomorrow.
Need
20% cooler.
Bronies, you need to
increase your cool factor.
"Rainbow Dash, Sparta Mix . "
This, like,
techno remix
is made from one dialog line
I say.
Who is behind all this ?
The Bronies, they're behind all that.
Ooh...
Who made this video?
Oh, man.
Okay, enough.
Let's find pizza.
Time step,

Like, I know I'm a little different.
Like...
I've been through... life
doesn't... feels comfortable,
not so...
You know, everything is always like.
a one-size-for-all society,
You know, formula
that I never...
I'm always outside.
You have to know what can help you,

and I guess,
A lot of nonsense in my life,
but I don't feel.
is worse than that at all. </ p >
And I love, I mean,
I love my life.
People regret things
they don't do.
You just regret things.
you don't do,
and I don't have
because I'm chasing...
I'm not the type of person
who always "don't do"

It's just a way of life,
but maybe most people
aren't like me. </ P>
Maybe most people don't want
to...
to live

We are on our way
To BronyCon.
now at 9 : 30...
I guess maybe 9:30 past a little. </ P>
We're a little late. </ P>
Um, this is a fun time. </ P>
Alright, BronyCon,
We came
What is your favorite episode?
The first episode
is quite phenomenal.
Okay, then...
Bryan?
Yes, Bryan.
This is Bryan, Bryan.
How are you doing?
I really apologize...
you will hate me because of this,
I have never drawn in a year. ..
Show everyone!
Show!
Show to the camera!
Here it is.
How does it feel
to be amazing? </ P>
Okay. OK. </ P>
II forgot you. </ P>
I can eat all of those apples. </ P>
He said, "What is that?" </ P>
"Puppy? Kitten?" </ P>
Someone behind says, "it's a pony!" </ P>
And I said, "I want that person." </ P p>
Make my tatoo. "
Whoo!
Go, Ninja, go!
Go, Ninja!
I feel my life is
like changing.
Like... not all,
but only...
there are many people out there.
who really love.
Those characters,
and I in the end,
like,
is responsible for
sayings and actions in the show,
I like giving them...
I give you life.
I give them,
You know, sound.
Gifts!
Yay!
And Applejack
and Rainbow Dash
sing together,

Hello? </ P>
Yes, I think I feel like.
part of something.
I'm part of this movement,
like...
I'm not Brony, but I... .
I, uh...
I am part
of their lives
because I voiced
this character.
Yes, before going
to this convention,
I'm not so sure.
With what I attended.
I'm a little nervous.
I'm not sure
with what I was hoping for
and all of them...
like, who is the Bronies?
there have been some previous interactions,
But it's not like this at all.
gets a response like this
of any community group
is extraordinary,
and it just happened, that
this community is mostly
of adult men
who like serial
about little girl horses ..
is quite strange,
if you think about it,
But at the same time,
they don't do
something is wrong,
they find each other,
for me it's an honor
can get involved.
- Yes, - that is the beginning of something.
It might fail.
Things like this happened before.
Enlarged, there was rejection,
Then just
because there is no
that continues,
and I really hope something appears and does it,
because this can't stand alone.
Can't continue on.
But have so much potential
to shape our mindset about something,
and make others,
"Oh, yes, maybe just < br /> if something is good,
then we can like it. "
People think it's just a TV show,
is not important,
maybe that's true,
is only a small trace in history.
But there are so many people's lives
that has improved because of it.
I think the best thing
to be Brony
is that,
you know,
is more than a fandom. More than a community.
It's really like a big family.
Not about My Little Pony,
but "Friendship is magic".
Do you know what I mean?
about solidarity, </ p >
sense of togetherness,
and all the different things
that really
bring people together
really beautiful bottom
umbrella.
It's not cynical, that it is
only this positive oasis
in the ocean sarcasm and cynicism
in modern society.
Characters are well crafted.
They try to reach their goals.
If they fail,
they learn from their mistakes.
They keep moving forward.
This won't be this big,
You know, activities-irony.
Give Bronies
doubt
that they are all good people
who like children's shows
or whatever.
They are not strange people,
or deviate
They just like
Cartoon shows.
That's all.
You've seen how big
the number fans so far.
What questions do I ask, what will be
and how long?
As long as My Little Pony exists,
The Bronies will continue to exist.
You remind me of a boy
who ever destroyed me
When he cut me like a saw
>
with many times
And I remind you of someone
your love when young
He threw you like a stone
Once afraid to repeat
But now
something happens
you make me want to dance
You want me to move
>
You want me to want
You want me to make a new dance
You want me to dance
no one can ever
You made me want to
And you memorized the movement
Because it's our dance
And you know the movement
And you know
the movement
Because it's our dance
