Third Time's The Charm

What's up bronies?! ThePikachu is here, making another post!

Welcome to the first official post of The Brony Way, created by ThePikachu made for his bronies from Funnyjunk. Today, I would like to address a few issues, as well as issue a challenge.

Issue number one, probably one of the most annoying issues in my opinion. The issue of popularity. Now, I know what most of you think. That the "popular" bronies are the ones who get all the attention. Then a lot of the bronies complain that said "popular" bronies are what the thread is all about. Sadly, that's just outright false. These popular bronies are popular because they have been there for a long time, and they have had more time to communicate with others and they know them on a closer level. Because of this, they talk and post on each others comments more often than the rest, because they are closer to these bronies. Take Sirizenhime and I as a prime example. We know each other very well, and we are always commenting on one another's comments, because we know each other and we have fun with what we do. Now, this is just my opinion on this. If you disagree, then you disagree. However, do not be saddlesore when someone else gets more attention than you, like I have seen some of you do.

Issue number two, shitstorms. Shistorms happen all the time. Mini ones mostly, but there are big ones, such as the Enderman post epidemic. Now, I understand that it is near impossible to have a thread without shitstorms. However, a lot of you give in to shitstorms all too easily. You let the simplest of things cause the most outrageous of shitstorms. Closo, for example. You guys also bandwagon way too easily, examples being the Lying Applejack meme, posting R34, and random rolls. Some of you need to learn a bit more about self-control.

Well now that I'm done being an ass, I've got something that may interest you! Seeing as this will be the start of my blog, I would love any and all feedback you guys wish to provide.

And now, for the contest!!

That's right, ThePikachu is holding a contest for his bronies! It's a bit selfish, but I hope it brings out your artistic ability. As you know, I made a really cruddy version of a pony for myself. The picture to the right. Well, I want to see what the bronies think ThePikachu would look like in pony form! For anyone who wants to try, post the picture on the comments on my FJ profile, or send me a link to the picture wherever you decide to upload it. The ones I find to be the best I will post in the next blog post! You have til Saturday to submit your entries to be featured in the blog, and heck, I may feature more than one. Sadly, I have no rewards other than the honor of being in one of my posts, but I hope that the lack of a reward does not prevent your creativeness from flowing! See you tomorrow!

  2. To issue number 1, the more popular bronies are also very talkative. I have been around as long as sirizenhime, but he posted about 5 times as much as I did. This is just to help show your point.

    Also, I would love to draw you if I had any artistic ability, but sadly I don't.

  3. How do I commented...

    Anyway... Hi thepikachu! It's lupinestorm. I have nothing to say other than that it looks good and that I agree with your social analysis.

    No idea what to make your pony look like though... :/

  5. Topic 1: There is a bit of a hierarchy, it's inevitable. But we're pretty much a communist thread, everypony is equal, and nopony is more equal than anyone else (except maybe sirizenhime...)

    Topic 2: There IS a way to prevent shitstorms, but it would take an overwhelming majority (75% or more) of the thread to back up the ideals of preventing them, not just 5 people.


    Of course, these are both speculations, and theoretical ideas.


    And as for your pony version, well, you'd be an ice sculpture cause you're so damn cool.
