How much do your parents know about your love for ponies? My parents both know I like MLP, and don't have much of a problem with it. My dad even knows about my fantasy of going to Equestria when I die and that I want to be an Earth pony in the afterlife.

He still doesn't know about the fact I jerk off to pony porn (as well as make it myself) or even the existence of it at all, and I plan to keep it that way.

They know I like the show.
They don't know I want to fuck the horses.
They don't know about my LS plush.
They certainly don't know about my tulpa.

i forced my mother to watch the show with me

>>42279887
How did she react?

My parents don't care about my interests if it doesn't involve money, getting a gf or working out so I haven't really ever mentioned it. They'd probably call me gay though.

Dad doesn't know but I haven't been in touch for years.
Mom knows since she's been over and seen my plush shelf and stuff on my fridge. She very clearly doesn't like it but also doesn't say anything since she's afraid I'll cut contact with her again if she does.

My dad caught me browsing NSFW when I was younger, said it was fine because it wasn't real pr0n lmao

>>42279891
She didn't say much, only laughed at the mule joke and imitated Fluttershy saying "yay" which was cute. She hated the Over The Barrel episode.

>>42279878 (OP)
I haven’t told them much about it, but they do know I’m friends with a brony IRL.

>>42279878 (OP)
Nobody in my life knows

My dad's dead and my mom makes fun of me for watching Taxi. I think the mlp thing is staying right in that closet.

>>42279921
Is your mother Indian or something?

My cousin accidentally outed to his mom and mind once that we were talking about my little pony. I confessed there since there was no hiding from it. They went on to talk bout my little pony back in the day and completely forgot about it.

It's a good thing our parents are bad at listening

>>42279945
she's from Russia.

>>42279878 (OP)
They both know I plap my Dashie plushie and dont like it but my dad married a nohooves and my mom is a female so I tell them their opinions dont mean shit.

>>42279945
Why do you go around the board calling random people brown?

>>42280045
Pretty based, despite being a Dashfag.

>>42280050
Because that is what he is and his inferiority causes him to project.

>>42280045
Sounds like you’re in for a big surprise when it comes time to read their will.

My parents proofread my fics and asked if I was basing any characters off them in a negative way

>>42280194
were you?

>>42280254
No. Rainbow Dash's parents are just Like That.

>>42280188
>not sucking your parents dry well before they croak

>>42280194
Pretty based but also a little tragic. Treat your parents better, anon.

>>42279878 (OP)
Dad knows and he doesn't give a fuck

NO ONE KNOWS

>>42280294
It's not like I can stop them from reading too much into things.

>>42279878 (OP)
All my family know, and I don't think the care. I don't hide my power level anyway. My mum even bought me pony stuff back in the day.

>>42279878 (OP)
They must know I like the show because they've been to my apartment and seen my pony stuff on the walls but they didn't say anything. I don't discuss much about my personal life with my parents in general and they're not curious about it. Whenever I talk to them they only want to hear about my career and finances and why I don't have a girlfriend and taxes and schedules and stuff like that. Honestly I'm glad they don't have any interest in who I am as a person because I don't think they'd like me.

>>42279878 (OP)
my Dad says it reminds him of carebears
other then that he's fine with it, occasionally sits on the couch with me to watch part of it.
thanks dad

>>42279878 (OP)
I staged a "growing out of my MLP phase" because the fact that it wasn't a secret world escapism anymore and other people knew i was into, was ruining it for me.

>>42279878 (OP)
My mom knows that I like ponies but doesn't know about the show.
The plushies I got all over the place plus the life size aren't especially stealthy. She liked the NASA pone one.
She doesn't mind. She ever got me picrel as a gift and told me it's fo well on my bag.
My dad has no clue, though.
neither of them have any idea about my tulpa autism either.

>>42280432
You're not supposed to let normalfags know about it. Just people you trust, like your parents. At least I hope you can trust them, because I continue to be baffled by how horrible a lot of people's parents are.

>>42280484
>because I continue to be baffled by how horrible a lot of people's parents are.
I'm not. Reading that one thing with the kid who got to sing with Stevie Wonder at the grammy's and the parents not caring because they're "not into music" made me realize that most people should not have kids.

>>42280398
I'd say she's based if it weren't for the fact she raised a trixiefren.

>>42280498
I should say it surprises me because my parents have always been kind and understanding, and I can't even imagine having children and then not caring about them at all. The entire concept just feels completely alien to me.

I mean, I know it's what happens in reality. I just didn't expect it to happen so damn often. Like you said, the majority of people should just not reproduce.

>>42280538
Well at least you know what to do if you ever have kids

I feel blessed that my parents don't care. I have a room full of pone. It always makes me feel bad when I hear of others with mean or neglectful parents.

>>42279878 (OP)
My best friend knows about my love of FiM and mares, and will banter about it with me.

My mom also knew and I'd even watch new episodes with her when they came, but she died 5 years ago.

>>42280774
Sorry for your loss anon.

>>42279878 (OP)
My mom thinks it's really cute and my dad is doesn't particularly care, though he did ask me to show him my pony plushie.

yes
my mom even went to a convention with me

>>42280045
>my dad married a nohooves and my mom is a female
kek my sides

>>42279878 (OP)
Mom used to help me scout for ponies at goodwill, but the population has dwindled :(
She knows about my lifesizes, but not about the porn. Probably.
If she ever finds my fimfiction account, I fear I may need to fake my death and move to Louisiana. And I hate Louisiana.

>>42281164

>>42279878 (OP)
I told my mother I've been wanting to be in that universe since 2014 when half drunk and she reacted with acceptance and also saying my grandmother had memories of me showing her some technicolor equine place that i told her I came from in her dreams when i was born.

>>42281213

>>42281213
>>42280318
>>42279933
Imagine living a life like this, hiding your true self from the whole world. Probably acting as normalfag as possible, always trying to fit in, but never getting accepted. How sad.

>>42281213
Im going to tell everybody that you love ponies

>>42281725
do NOT

here, the ONE story I am proud of

Post fimfic

>>42279878 (OP)
I don't hide the fact that I like the show, and they know that I draw ponies a lot. Never told them about clop, and I never intend to. Their opinion would best be described by a slow roll of the eyes, but they don't give me any grief about it. My ma even asked to keep one of my drawings one time

>>42279878 (OP)
My parents don't really know because I kind of left them in the dust. My dads off somewhere waiting to croak from alcoholism and my mom is isolated and manic depressive and wont accept help. Both did drugs pretty heavy.

But as far as my new family like friends and what not. Everybody knows. Ive become known as the eccentric crazy guy. I Contracted overseas, I build old cars and trucks and I have a huge collection of bought and built guns. For a lot of people, the pony thing doesn't stick out because it gets drowned out in all the other shit.

I'll say "Fluttershy is best pony" right before I launch a huge fireworks ball from my homemade black powder mortar. Then I'll open up about some conspiracies.

>>42282026
I'll have you know I commissioned that airinablock profile image in like, 2017 :(
also yeah there's some anthro I guess (but the one I linked isn't, damn it)

very nice, loved reading that story.

>>42282359
Too much happiness and independence this way.
Meet cool people and find opportunities.
Got good friends and decent success.
I just cant get down with regular stuff.

>>42282359
The funnest friends come from slightly eccentric hobbies

>>42281724
Explain the benefits of normalfags needing to know that you goon to Dashie. I'll wait.

>>42282359
Normality is overrated. I'd rather be happy than fit in.

>>42282442
Thanks, I just hope I can work out the sequel well enough

>>42282528
Ooh nice, is the sequel focusing mostly on the disguised Princess Celestia and Twilight Sparkle with some parts showing Shining Armor and Cadence ruling the Equestrian Principality? Also wondering where is Prince Blueblood in all of this since I'd imagine he'd still be a diplomat for Equestria even with Daybreaker.

>>42279878 (OP)
>>42281724

>>42281213
>encrypted partition
are you into fillies?

>>42279878 (OP)
My mam knows - All the pony paraphernalia in my room is hard to miss. I have no idea if she knows it's MLP stuff or just thinks I'm into plushes of ponies. She's never brought it up and I don't talk about MLP.
As for my friends: I think they are just far too normal to get it. I'm already the 'weird one' because I do crazy stuff like go on 4chan or because I 'm aware of the degenerate depths of the internet like loli porn.

>>42282536
That'd be mostly the focus, mostly Celestia struggling with the emotional scars that come from being psychotically insane for almost a millennia and still hasn't really processed anything that's happened to her or what she's done.

Blueblood's father was briefly mentioned in the first chapter of the first fic, Blueblood himself isn't gonna be a character but that guy is.

>>42280524
Says the Sparkle enjoyer.

>>42279878 (OP)
I don't actively bring up and I live on my own.
So as a result only my mother knows that I have some pony plushies at my place. She only knows the very basics that it's related to some show, but did not care to ask anything more about it.
Only told me I should hide them if I ever bring a woman home with me. After that she never brought it up again.

A couple I weeks later I got the Verity Coins I ordered. As I had mentioned how I ordered some silver coins before and she was quite interested in the idea of such custom coins, I did show her one once I got it. Though at that point the reaction was basically a "Whatever, I have other things to do right now"

>>42279878 (OP)
Sometimes when I come across threads like this, my sanity comes back for a few moments and I realize how bizarre and absurd it is that I'm obsessed with a cartoon for little girls and that I jerk off to its ungulate characters, but then it goes away again.

>>42282519
>strawman

>>42283285
You can use all the internet argument coping mechanisms but how will your mother feel knowing you goon to a little girl's show?
Protip: she already knows, but instead of keeping it to yourself you wanted to be selfish. Good job

>>42282675
Mary Sue vs. The Most Unlikable Character a.k.a Trash vs Garbage

>>42283310
>strawman again
Everybody here seems to be doing just fine telling their close ones about ponies without having to talk about the adult part of the fandom. But I guess that's the only reason you're into this show in the first place, huh?

>>42283314
>buzzword cope again
If you don't have a girlfriend/wife and you fill your room with anime girl posters and models. Only the most obtuse person wouldn't be able to make the connection that you jerk off to anime girls. You didn't have to explicitly tell someone. The same thing applies here.
I really don't care if you reveal your power level but if you try to shame the other anons that do, I'll let you know you aren't above anyone for doing so.

>>42280045
holy fucking based

>>42283330
>blah blah blah strawman AGAIN
Enjoy living a lie I guess. I'm sure you're much happier this way.

>>42279878 (OP)
my parents know that it's my girlfriend's favourite show so i watch it with her, they don't know that i actually super like it too and they especially don't know about the clop i draw
luckily my older sister and older brother were into mlp way before me so my parents already got through the disappointment of having brony children

>>42283354
The only one here lying to himself is you. I can go about my life perfectly happy without needing to sperg out about a little girl's show irl.

>>42281724
>"HAHAHA do you really watch My Little Pony, Anon? This show is for 10 year old fillies! Are you gay or something?"

Started to post my art on Instagram and the account associated with my personal Facebook and I said "fuck it, my family is gonna ignore it" but then my parents and brothers started to compliment me for being creative, told my older sister about the show and how much I loved it and then we regularly talk about it. It's a good thing because before that didn't have to much to chat anyway and my father tells me how good I'm making art but is completely unaware about tee show at all and even call them "little horses", btw he's a traditional painter on his 60s who makes art expositions since he's a teenager and sometimes I wonder if he feels shame for me being so untalented or genuinely like my stuff in some degree.

>>42283049
I sometimes have these moments too, but I'd say they are outweight be moments where I come across "normal people media" and just wonder how anyone could like this garbage. Is this really what you are "supposed" to be interested in?
Plus situations where you see people online discussing their fetishes and suddenly finding cartoon ponies attractive sounds like the tamest thing ever.

>>42279878 (OP)
i have a shelf of g1 ponies, it's been chill

>>42284068
ok boomer go back to the nursing home you're many generations late

>>42281724
I act like a normalfag so that I can make money and normalfags leave me alone.
>always trying to fit in, but never getting accepted
Bro do you think the real world works like high school? The fuck do you mean "accepted"? I go to work, I get along with the people there, I come home and post about ponies. That's as "accepted" as I could possibly need.
>How sad.
What's sad is that you think being a loser outcast is somehow better. Being weird doesn't make you special. Lots of people are weird. Most of us are able to put that weirdness to the side in order to function in society. Those who can't aren't brave rebels, they're incompetent losers.

>>42280045
>my dad married a nohooves and my mom is a female so I tell them their opinions dont mean shit.
Audible topkek

>>42284517
You admit to literally telling NOBODY about your love for ponies offline. Not even your friends or family. That is sad. Not even being able to tell anyone you trust. What a pitiful existence.

Within my group my particular subgroup is referred to as "the bronies"

>>42284623
>That is sad.
Why?
>Not even being able to tell anyone you trust.
Of course I'm able to tell them. But why would I? I'd get a few weird looks and nothing in my life would change.
>What a pitiful existence.
Again, why? Is this some zoomer mental illness where you need personal and immediate validation for every single one of your life choices?
