Introduction of a Fairly Normal Newbie by

Hello guys and gals, how are you doing?... Actually, I can't hear you, because this is just a post.
So yeah, brand-new shiny newbie to the board. Nice to meet you all too!... And since I'm not sure how to make all this information coherently stick together in a single paragraph, here's a list of useless facts about me!
Fandoms: My Little Pony, Doctor Who and Pokémon.
Gender: Male.
Preferred pronouns: Him, he, or he who waits behind the wall (For no perticular reason).
Country: The mystical land of Caniada!
Native language: French.
Found the PPC by: Doing extremely boring research on the exact release date of C*pc*k*s.
Others: I love censoring titles. Also, I love diagrams.
So yeah, that's that. Hope you weren't bored to death, and I'll see you next time, if Tolkien wants it! -

Here, have a virtual door. If you are bored of the wall, use the door to pass through it. I can't guarantee if you will step foot into the right direction though, I bought the door at a thrift shop.
Do you watch The Legend of Korra? -

I'm also a fan of MLP, Doctor Who, and Pokémon! Have a special shiny. Pokémon of your choice- but be warned, its shiny color is urple. ;)

Of my choice, uh? by

Well, seeing as urple is a color you shouldn't look at directly or else it causes eye damage, I think a Wailord is the safest bet as my new shiny best friend!

Hi, have some fudge!
Are you more of a New Who or Classic Who fan? -

Thanks for the fudge, good sir!
As for my DW preference, I am more of a fan of New Who, but only because I haven't had the chance to watch most of the old episodes (Except those on Netflix). -

Je suis heureux de voir un autre francophone ici dans le PPC! Bienvenue, et je te souhaite que tu t'amuses bien!
Un fanatique de Pokémon et un brony? Donc, permets-moi de te donner mon cadeau préféré pour les bronies: Voici, un Rapidash, autrement connu comme "Twilight Sparkle fâché."
Et avant que tu me le demandes, non, je ne suis pas canadien; je suis américain d'origine haïtienne. Mais j'ai quelques membres de ma famille qui habitent en Québec. -

"en Québec" est grammaticalement incorrect.
Si on fait référence à la ville, on dit "à Québec".
Si on veut mentionner la province, on dit "au Québec". -

Tu as vu la préposition incorrecte, mais tu as manqué un autre faute. J'ai écrit "je te souhaite." Cette "E" n'y appartient pas!

Mais si, le "e" appartient là . by

Regardez-donc la conjugaison du verbe à l'indicatif présent.
D'une certaine façon, vous avez raison: c'est bien "un souhait" mais on "souhaite" la bienvenue à quelqu'un.
Quoi que votre phrase "...je te souhaite que tu t'amuses bien" est un peu bizarre. Peut-être vous auriez pu dire "j'espère que tu t'amuses bien"? -

First of all, I thought that the "E" did not belong because of Google Translate. Had I done two seconds' worth of thinking instead of consulting Google in my insecurity, I would have remembered that the "E" did belong there; since souhaiter is a regular -er verb, it's je souhaite; I was right the first time.
As for the phrase itself, I was trying to go with something along the lines of "I hope that you have fun." The word espérer completely slipped my mind, so I used souhaiter instead. But at this point, I believe that we can agree that that first "te" definitely did not belong; it should have been "je souhaite que qu t'amuses bien" (unless there's yet another error there!) -

Je n'ai pas beaucoup d'opportunités pour pratiquer mon français, et je n'ai jamais maîtrisé quelle préposition s'utilise pour quelle situation.
J'ai voulu parler de la province, donc j'ai dû dire "au Québec."
Merci. -

J'ai complètement oublié! Les Pokémon ont des noms différents en français qu'en anglais!
*Consulte Bulbapédia*
Selon Bulbapédia, le Pokémon que nous les anglophones connaissons comme "Rapidash" s'appelle "Galopa" en français. Je ne sais pas si cela s'applique aux canadiens aussi qu'aux français, mais on ne peut pas être trop sûr! -

But don't worry, you will be driven at least partly insane like the rest of us fairly soon enough.
Anyway, let me gift you with a Rorschach book (changes according to your current reading interests), a MLP plushie of your choice and as a fellow Brony who has suffered through Cupcakes, a courtesy link to The Light in The Darkness - http://www.fimfiction.net/story/16531/the-light-in-the-darkness -

Oh, don't worry about me being sane. I do believe that SeaTurtle's water-repulsing water has already made me go at least partly mad.
And thanks for the link, I had been looking for this alternate ending for a while now! -

Ah the hydrophobic water, still trying to wrap my mind around that one, yes I'm am...
You are welcome. Light in the darkness is probably the best Goodfic to come out of the Briny fandom. It's heartmelting enough to cancel out all the horror in Cupcakes and then some. -

Your comment actually had me realise that, though I have heard multiple dramatic readings, saw some fan made videos (That were hilarious, by the way),
and read just a few of the hundreds of spin-offs, I haven't read it myself yet. I'm not sure what to make out of that information. -

Have some candid pictures of Twilight Sparkle, a scrapbook of the Doctor's adventures, a bell, a selection of Weasley's Wizard Wheezes products, some Pokeballs, chocolate, a baseball bat, and Canon sources of your choice.
It's always good to be prepared. -

I also have an inexplicable love of making charts. Also a tendency to get my family into various series and then stop watching them myself--which is where I am with Doctor Who and MLP at the moment. Have you read any PPC stuff yet? Got any favorite agents or missions?
Here, have a bottomless bag to keep all your other gifts in. It has a lot of pockets. -
