I used to worry about what women would think when they saw my home, but it turned out that none of them ever see it at all so I might as well be true to myself and collect all the My Little Ponies.

My (now) wife freaked out coming to my apartment the first time. Turns out, she's a huge Rush fan:

In my living room at the time:

All I hear is "Eeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

70% sure she just married me for the TV.

[–] Vanilla_PuddinFudge 47 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

"Honey, will you marry me?"

um, I dunno...

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's an awesome TV.

Has she now learned the rest of the alphabet?

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

I think she started with Y-Y-Z. :) Sorry, Rush joke...

The other 30% was the Dreamcast.

Edit: Where can I get a TV exactly like that? I assume you had to hunt for years and/or restore?

My husband was worried about bringing me to his apartment for the first time when we were dating because it was filled with tarantulas, scorpions, and snakes. Did not bother me in the slightest and I really got into keeping them too. I did put my foot down on centipedes though because fuck that (too fast, too hot).

Don't kink-shame.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"Hot" in reference to snakes means venomous, and I know some centipedes have venom, so my assumption is that.

[–] Aviandelight@mander.xyz 14 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Yea I meant venomous. Hubby was trying to woo me on the idea of keeping Vietnamese centipedes. Serious look them up on YouTube if you want some nightmare fuel. We used to breed Deathstalkers so I'm not opposed to keeping hots but I'm also a safety oriented person.

They're like a hundred degrees, centigrade.

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

If you ever change your mind, you can just move into my place. Nobody invited the centipedes, yet every spring those creepy bastards find their way in.

If people can't love you because they can't accept that Fluttershy is best pony then that's their loss.

You still have us. Brohoof /)

[–] henfredemars 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Best pony? But that’s not Rainbow Dash!

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's a funny way to spell Cheese Sandwich.

Maybe I'm just your basic bitch*, but it's Twilght Sparkle for me. I just like her look; last time I had my hair dyed it it was modeled after her mane / her anthro's hair. I didn't really like the show, but I only watched a few episodes.

* is that word gender-neutral in context, or should I be using "bastard" or something else?

I’m a married man in a great relationship. Our office is covered with My Little Pony merch and posters.

She thought it was weird, but she liked it because it was weird.

Might as well collect what you love…as long as you don’t keep them in jars it should be fine.

This display used to be the first thing you would see when you walked into my home.

The only reason I moved them was because I replaced them to make room for my two massive bearded dragon tanks. 😎

Any future partner better match my energy LOL

[–] Soulg@ani.social 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

My girlfriend is EXTREMELY jealous of all your peepees and ouiouis

[–] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 months ago

They are the result of years of slowly obtaining them. They are pretty much the only thing(s) of value that I own! Really love them a lot. 💕

If she doesn't have a Peepy of her own yet, it's your obligation to get her one! 🫵 And if she already has one, she needs more.

Me: "I hope you like Lisa Frank!"

[–] knightly@pawb.social 10 points 2 months ago (17 children)

Me: immediately ruining the first impression with a full-size framed reproduction of the painting of Lord Vigo from Ghostbusters 2 looming over the foyer. Visitors are often distracted enough not to even notice that it hangs across from a pirate skull and crossbones flag and a queer villain pride flag.

Then they get to the living room which seems weirdly normal; tastefully matched furniture, a couple of landscapes and a reproduction Matisse on the walls, reasonable quantities of clutter on the end and coffee tables. It's almost normal enough to make one forget that the Scourge of Carpathia is watching over their shoes.

But then there's the sign by the bathroom asking guests not to use it for summoning demons. The Van Goku painting of Son Goku from Dragonball throwing a kamehameha in the style of Van Gogh's "Starry Night". A strangely ominous black and white photo of llamas hung by the basement door over a sign that reads "A little party never killed anybody".

No, that first impression was correct. Mine is a house of weirdos. =D

What's the orange skull doll?

[–] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 12 points 2 months ago

Kaws, one of those pop art figures that ended up getting merchandized to hell and back.

[–] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 27 points 2 months ago (11 children)

The posters are red flags for "nice guys" and other very problematic people
