Now and again we all have to admit we've done something terrible...

[x_los]

...and this is that lj post.

You know how people sometimes mod My Little Ponies? Well, now you do (and check out this Borg pony! ).

Once upon a time I was torn between respecting the craftsmanship and cool aesthetics of some of the custom ponies and being pretentious and thinking it was a bit silly. But lo, gothic_hamlet and blinkidybah came unto me with a pony, a BABY pony, no less, and said "Stop being a dumb ho and mod the damn pony, you know you want to."

And it was so, so good. I appreciate the subversive elements of taking a mass-produced item and reclaiming it through creative input. It's a challenge to the hyper-femininity of the toy to cover up the blase fairy-floss pink with something more interesting. And it's FUN.

So without further explanation or excuse, I give you Delgado!Master!Pony (My little pony? He belongs to NO ONE!).

For further revelations, including the pony riding a Dalek alarm clock...

Behold the salt n' pepper hair! The dappling effect! The random-yet-adorable freckles! The tiny goatee! The wee buttons on the cuffs! The early-model TCE butt decoration! I know that was a lot of build up, but really, could anything have prepared you for that?!

Deodorant and taco sauce. HAHA!

Wait, is that your suggested preparation? *is VERY afraid*

[scarykarrey.livejournal.com]

No, that's what I see HERE.

Ha. I can't help what's on that girl's vanity. Her passion for taco sauce cannot be reigned in.

Taco sauce is fucking delicious shut up

[x-los.livejournal.com]

I have no beef with Taco Sauce.


But you do.

Ultimate Win. Finishing Move. It's over, and it's okay to cry if you need to. And I know you do.

I still love your Delgado Pony. He would be so pissed at you (or would he?).

Still loved your fic. Next time you say "it's lameass," I expect a full and complete series of reasons to back up said claim.

I'll be done with this week in 2 hours and 25 minutes! Yay!!!

I think he would be pissed, but Ainley!Pony would f'in LOVE it. God. The little metallic embroidery and sparkly crazy eyes. Of course that would necessitate making a Five Pony with striped hind-quarters and the floppiest hair ever for him to chase around the paddock. My Little Dysfunctional Relationship.

YAY! Weren't we going to be dunk again? I need a little recovery time, my head is still very: "You drunk what? And then you did pot? Is that why I feel encrusted with moss?"
