Something Good Is Coming...!

 

    I am aware that it has been two whole days since my last post on this blog. But I have been working on a post with a lot of meat and potatoes to it the entire time. I would say I'm almost halfway through it now, so it should be posted in the near future. If you all would like a hint, it's about something that was wildly popular among young girls in the nineties and it had something to do with a certain... spirit. Until then, you may enjoy my brief PonyTown observation for today. 

 


In case the video does not load, here is a photo of how packed the docks were today:
 



 

    So... As you can see, docks was packed today. There was a user on who was offering the anonymous service of sending out whispered complaints for everyone to read and that usually is a hot ticket to getting everyone talking all at once, just like it did today. Today's topic that I learned about- proshippers. Funny how linguistics can evolve in the most odd ways. When I was growing up, "proshipper" probably just meant someone who had a favorite ship in one or more of their fandoms, a favorite romantic pairing. Now, it has apparently evolved to mean someone who goes above and beyond to coerce, threaten, stalk and argue with someone who does not agree with their ship. Honestly, I would not call that "proshipper", I would call that "psychotic" or "time to call the police". 

 

    Another hot topic of the day was faking mental disorders.  I have been hearing about this uptick, actually from a lot of different sources and I just do not understand it. Maybe it's because I actually am diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome but I fail to understand why anyone would even want to fake a disorder. Some might argue "for followers" or "for views" but I would ask... Do the people doing it not feel any modicum of shame then? How is it not embarrassing for them to fake this stuff? How in the heck do the pros seem to outweigh the cons to them when I cannot, in fact, see any pros to it? It's all so very confusing and it feels so wrong.

My First Introduction to "The River" by Peter Heller

  Literary Discussion In PonyTown.      I was hanging around the PonyTown docks when another player, let us call them W, began talking in the open about how they love to read books, so I sat down with them and asked them what they were currently reading that had them so hyped. The enclosed interview is the exact conversation that ensued, however brief it may be.   Q: "What are you currently reading that has you feeling this way especially?" A: "'The River' by Peter Heller. Though I've actually just finished reading it."   Q: "What are your thoughts on it?" A: "It's good but it's also sad. The ending especially surprised me."   Q: "What was your favorite part of the book?" A: "I loved Wynn and Jack's friendship. I wish it had been a romance instead, though. I felt that Wynn and Jack were very much queer characters."        That was as far as we got before W was disconnected from the server and di...

An Aside About PonyTown & Fandoms

 ... And What I Find Amusing About It A cross Between MLP's Discord and the Animated Beetlejuice laughs.                  I remember when " My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic " was at the height of its popularity, back in 2010 through 2018. Specifically, I remember 2012, when an article on Equestria Daily announced an upcoming MMO style MLP fan game where you would play as a customizable pony and 'build a town with other players'. Or, so I thought I remembered. I've done some digging around for the post, only to find out that it's likely it never existed, that I had just confused this post and this post  into one article for one online game. Truth be told, at the time I thought this 'article' was posted on EQD, it was actually read aloud to me by someone I knew at the time who was also a huge fan of MLP. I just remember us discussing how much fun we could and would have together on a game where you could fully customize a pon...
