heretic horror story
Quote:
Even if I hate the nametags the “older fans” get, I can be classified as a heretic/Pegasister: I’m an avid collector of the FiM toys, I love the show, I draw tons and tons of fanart.
Before they all collectively stopped talking to me, my friends wanted to introduce me to a heretic they were acquainted with.
They brought him around, and at first, I thought he was nice. He “brohoofed” me, and was eager to see my collection.
Of course, he sees it, and begins to pick at it.
He grabs my blind bag boners, and starts to sort them as “real” and “fake”, fake boners being non-show characters. He threw these in a pile, and lined up the “real” ones lovingly. Bear in mind, he got a lot of them wrong, and got irked when I corrected his lineups.
Then he grabbed my computer, looking up all of these heretic songs that honestly, sounded the same. Y’know the typical fare: Eurobeat heretic, Super Pony Beat, etc.
Really the stuff all sounds the same. But I listened, trying not to be rude.
He leaves, and I’m left with a pretty sour taste in my mouth.
Then a little while later, he all INSISTED we watch the show. Noel made an occasional snarky, hilarious comment about a character and by the end, Mr. heretic was infuriated, spitting that he was never doing this again, because he insulted his precious boners, all because Noel said he didn’t like Applejack’s accent (and Mr. heretic’s favorite just happened to be Applejack).
I didn’t see him for a long time, but last week, I met him again.
He sauntered up to me, a shit-eating grin on his face, and grabbed his wallet.
“I have something you DON’T have~”
And he pulls out a fan-made Equestrian Bit coin.
“This coin is worth more than your “little figurine collection~”“
He made sure he said that as SLIMILY as he could. That by buying a fan-made coin he had somehow “beat” me at being a heretic (don’t worry bruh, you already have). He was rude, condescending, and I hope I don’t have to speak to him again.
