@digibrony also I started following you on tumblr! Sorry if my blog is a little girly...and sometimes I DO complain about the brony fanbase XD But that's 'cause I have a lot of pent-up frustrations. I'm sure as I get to know more bronies, and share some of my feelings/get them off my chest, I'll be less agitated and cranky XD I see bronydum like the fandom brother I never had...if that makes sense~

@mizuki thanks for the follow! I'd reciprocate but honestly, your update rate is really daunting. If I did, your tumblr alone would literally make up 90% of my tumblr feed. I generally try to avoid following tumblrs that update a lot/do a lot of reblogs/aren't single-topic-focused.

@mizuki not that there's anything wrong with running that sort of tumblr!

@digibrony Oh okay ; n ; that's kinda a shame but I understand. I would make a brony-only-blog but I'm not much of a writer and I doubt anyone would care about my MLP musings...and even if they did, I'd just post it on my main tumblr but under a cut or something XD

@mizuki it's not a matter really of whether anyone cares, but more of whether they'd be entertained, or whether you'd be offering something they can't get elsewhere. Personally, I'm feeling "musings" in high demand, because thus far I've found almost *only* art content in this fandom. I haven't found a single site dedicated to analysis and general opinions on things regarding MLP. I didn't even know about this shortage when I started my own site as an analytical one, but now I'm starting to wonder both if I'm the first to do it, and also if there's any demand for one to exist beyond my own. If there's not, maybe my site will create it? God I love this 1000 character limit I can just keep typing my entire thought!

@digibrony Hmm, that is pretty fascinating. I feel as though any insights or musings that I could provide- even if they were in high demand- would do nothing but cause trouble. Negative experiences or criticisms about the inner-workings of the fandom would immediately get shot down due to "love and tolerance", and I'd be labeled a hater automatically, even if that couldn't be further from the truth @_@ But I agree- this character limit is extraordinary! I love being able to type complete sentences instead of just whatever mess I can squeeze out on Twitter :I Still, good luck with your musings blog! I'll be sure to read it even if I can't always comment on it.

@mizuki I'm somewhat interested in knowing what exactly are your complaints. I tried to look for them but I can't find anything in your archives XD
Saturday, 18-Feb-12 12:09:12 UTC from web-
@digibrony makes sense, I'm always shy about venting about these things (tumblr people can be vicious or see me as over-sensitive XD) a lot of it is really minor stuff that if I were to bring up, everyone would either be like "EH?!" or "where'd you even get that??" maybe I'll post something..someday XD
Saturday, 18-Feb-12 12:13:12 UTC from web-
@mizuki well, snapping on you that you need to practice "love and tolerance" rather than voice your opinions isn't very tolerant or loving lol. As long as you can be civil in voicing complaints, we should be civil in hearing out and responding to them.

@mizuki and when I say civil I don't mean you can't cuss or something fussy like that, but just as long as you aren't being mean-spirited and all, that would be civil.
Saturday, 18-Feb-12 12:17:29 UTC from web-
@digibrony *relieved* omg I'm so glad you agree! I've seen instances where bronies will shoot down people who have a different opinion all together- even if they're civil and raise legitimate complaints and aren't just "hatin'" XD But that's what I get for hiding under rocks and following confession blogs I suppose~

@mizuki People are quick to get on moral high horses and blind themselves to how their being. It's no different from crying that everyone who doesn't agree with you is "closed-minded," when in fact thinking that was is as closed-minded as it gets. But I don't mind closed-mindedness so much: moral superiority claims are what bother me. When someone thinks not just that those who don't agree with them are "closed-minded," but also that because of it, they must be terrible people.

@digibrony *they're, *way, man I need to spell-check, especially after having a little alcohol in me...

@digibrony truer words have never been spoken *nods in agreement* man I've only been here for a few hours and I've already met some cool people- including you :D /cue so many wonders musical number
Saturday, 18-Feb-12 12:29:26 UTC from web-
@mizuki And I only joined yesterday! But I felt the exact same way. I got such a warm reception here, and it's really cool that this site isn't so social that it forgets to also be pony. So much better than spamming my facebook and twitter with pony stuff that my friends don't really care much about. I don't even need to spam RDN because everypony here already knows what I'm talking about!
Saturday, 18-Feb-12 12:34:58 UTC from web-
@digibrony I know what ya mean! I love tumblr 'cause I get to hangout with peeps in real time from my main fandom, but on here I can just talk ponies without feeling ashamed or scaring away casuals XD (not that I'm hardcore or anything...plus I'm usually pretty shy on forums! But things feel so informal here, and yet there's plenty of room to type~)
Saturday, 18-Feb-12 12:37:11 UTC from web-
@mizuki it's like the perfect place! Now I'm literally breaking out into so many wonders, I think it's karaoke time!
