[personal profile] guildrone posting in [community profile] addme_fandom

Name: Robo

Age: 21+

I mostly post about: Media I’m interested in (including that which I plan to make), personal matters, my mind’s machinations in general

My hobbies are: Gaming, writing (including blogging as of now, I guess)

My fandoms are: Pokémon, Sonic the Hedgehog, Megami Tensei, My Little Pony, the Nasuverse, Marvel, DC, and more (mostly in the realm of animanga and video games)
Favourite Movies: Jurassic Park, Mean Girls
TV Shows: Ted, The Looney Tunes Show, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

I'm looking to meet people who: Share my superior tastes, mostly—but in general, I’m up to try and click with anyone who will validate humor me

My posting schedule tends to be: No planned schedule, but I should be able to muster something new every week or two—and I’ll more or less always be down to shoot shit (via comment threads and/or PMs) in the meantime

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Not that I’d want to invoke the term ‘anti’ (I don’t think it’d be worth associating myself with some of the cognitive dissonance I’ve seen against such), but…I’m only, like, quarter-joking at most when I call myself an edgelord/degenerate, so keep that in mind (By that same token, though, minors need not apply)

Before adding me, you should know: See above about the whole ‘degen’ thing—though on that note, my profile at time of posting should be a fair enough ‘warning’, methinks

Note: I have no idea what happened to the formatting here. Either I’ll figure it out later or forget to and leave it, lmao.

Note 2: Oh thank god I fixed it.

Both, actually! Though more so the former; mini-me was a bit too squeamish at what little I did wind up seeing of Lil Miss to want to dive much deeper at the time […]


Same, honestly. I was in jr high when MLP:FiM came out (2013-ish?) but wasn’t reading grimdark or horror until I was out of it (2017-ish). I actually have a reclist of grimdark fics. I skipped over Cupcakes and Rainbow Factory and that one about Big Mac and the CMCs until way later, which was a massive downgrade to the kind of stuff I was reading at the time. I hold very little nostalgia for them, sadly… but I do really like infection AUs. What I don’t like is how they’re all on TikTok and made by minors with “bronies DNI” in their profiles… Wild times we live in.

Er, anyway, I loved Molestia back on tumblr dot com. I’ve heard all sorts of rumors about the creator, but never looked into whether any of it was true. I just thought Celestia being a sex pest was hilarious.

I’m going to add those videos to my watch list. I either don’t remember them, or never got around to them. They look fun!

…Even if some of those places (expectedly enough) wound up at each others’ throats for whatever reason. As one of my first big fandom scenes, this was also my first big exposure to fandom drama—and honestly, part of why I look back on those days so fondly is probably because my (more) conceited and myopic ego let me stay comfortably detached from a lot of the more involved/‘meta’ discourse throughout[…]

…Not to say I wasn’t personally invested in at least some of the pot-stirring, though; this was also around the time the allure of ✨critical analysis✨ started appealing to the aforementioned ego, so I soon enough found myself with a firm stick up my ass courtesy of whatever internet critics came off as funny/well-articulated enough for my liking: Twilight’s wings, Equestria Girls, Discord’s redemption(?) arc, Starlight Glimmer in general—you name it, I’d probably made it my personal 9/11 at some point before the oxymoron that is “objectively good writing” started to crumble against my increasingly opinionated psyche


LMAO, hey, we all make mistakes. Personally I really like looking at media critically, but what the internet thinks of as “critical analysis” is… very not that. Like that infamous one about a certain show about sparkly rocks turning into people… Woof.

“Objectively good writing,” gods I hate people who are still in that mindset. Or at least, I hate their vibe. Just have fun, damn you! Stop making disliking a show your whole personality! (General you used, of course). I had a couple of stints like that, though it was less of a personal 9/11 and more of a blanket unwillingness to watch or read something because I arbitrarily decided they were “bad.” I still have some things like that, but it’s less disguised as “media critique” and more “I just like other shit, man.”

I’d make a Cinemasins joke, if I had something clever for it.

Same here—one of my most consistent sources of remorse is not giving myself enough time to formulate my thoughts properly, so it’s nice to not feel as put on the spot as I would be on, say, Reddit (or especially Discord).


Fr. Character limits are also fuckin’ awful. Writing out a discussion in a limited text box is like pulling teeth. Half the time I have to rely on tone indicators because there’s not enough room for me to do anything but state the most monotone, bland version of what I want to say known to man. (No shade to tone indicators, they’re very useful for many people.)
