Time for Ponies.

I'd like to take the beginning of this post to explain a bit more about this whole 'My Little Pony' thing. If you were not already aware, there is an expanding community on the internet of people like me, who enjoy the show despite being outside of the target demographic. We call ourselves 'Bronies' (Contrary to popular belief, the name has nothing to do with the /b/ section of 4chan). We're easily one of the most creative fanbases on the internet, creating wonderful music, art, and fiction all inspired by the show. Despite the constant stream of hate we get by pretty much every other person on the planet, we are strong advocates of tolerance and acceptance among all people.

With that out of the way, let's get in to some “news”.

The newest episode of the show aired on Saturday (You may view it here, if you so please). Season 2, Episode 8 is about Rainbow Dash's struggle to maintain her status as the hero of Ponyville, after being challenged by a masked stranger. This is the second Rainbow Dash themed episode in a row this season, and unlike the first (which I wrote about in great detail, but Blogger deleted the post and it's not exactly news anymore), I really don't have a lot of analysis or speculation about aspects of the episode. Also, while I enjoyed this episode, I don't think it goes too high on my list of favorites. I'm not saying I didn't like it (There hasn't been an episode I didn't like), I just don't think it competes with episodes like Luna Eclipsed, May The Best Pet Win, and Lesson Zero.

Now, with all of the semi-serious news business out of the way, IT IS TIME FOR AN EPIC PONY RAVE PARTY.

Things to be Thankful for

I know I said I would be blogging about ponies next time (And I do have a pony news post prepared that I will post later today), but today our benefactors have entrusted me with the task of informing you, the reader, of things that I am thankful for, in celebration of Thanksgiving.

- I'm thankful for my family and my friends, no matter how few they may be.
- I'm thankful for the fact that my parents both have stable jobs, possibly the only thing that keeps my family off the streets or in a shelter right now.
- Though this may sound strange, I'm thankful for My Little Pony. The show and the community are part of the few sources of joy in my life.
- As I mentioned above, I'm thankful for the Brony community. They are easily the friendliest, most creative, and most welcoming internet community I have ever been a part of.
- Last, and most importantly, I'm thankful for the fact that I'm alive and in relatively good health. Obviously, I would be dead if I weren't.

I suppose I should also thank you for reading this post. I am thankful for YOU, reader.

WOAH

I do believe you have stumbled upon my blog. Let me be the first to apologize for what you are about to see.

I've decided that for this blog to be something I enjoy running, it would have to involve two hobbies of mine: The Slender Man Mythos, and My Little Pony. Again, I apologize.

I'm mainly going to use this as a news site to update on things happening in both the universe of ponies, and the universe of popular internet horror. This means I'm going to be linking to videos I expect you, the reader, to watch. Another apology.

Let's get right into it then, shall we? I'll start with some Slender Man news, in the realm of TribeTwelve. First, I would recommend those unfamiliar with the series to check out the YouTube channel (linked on the side) before continuing, because the rest of this post will make no sense otherwise.

The most recent video, posted by the Observer.

My first thoughts of this video: KLAGDKAGJ:AKLGHSG:AHSGOIGAWEIGH:EOGHWO:AG

But then when I calmed down, I started to actually think about the video itself. If you've read any of Observer's answers on Noah's Formspring (I think it's linked on the channel, so go there), you already understand all that he said. It seems to serve mainly as an informative video for those who only watch the videos. Either way, it's still a good video. They seem to increase in quality with each one, which is good.

Now, on to some speculation about some other aspects of the video:
Observer posted this on Noah's channel a few days after 'repossessing' him (the title is HAPPYBIRTHDAY because the day Noah was taken was his birthday, November 11th). It also alludes to other members of his collective, four of which he named on Noah's Formspring page: Mr. Scars, Deadhead, Persolus, and Cursor. There is also text in the description that may suggest that Noah is Deadhead's new 'vessel'.

Noah has since returned and intends to post his footage of what happened before his disappearance once he calms down.

Well, I think that's enough confusion for a first post, eh? Next time, I'll be posting about ponies, whether you want me to or not.
