I've seen grown men swarm kids dressed as MLP characters and completely terrify them at cons. So while I have absolutely NO issue with it (I mean, I still watch and cry over Care Bears and love cartoons myself) I think that some people just enjoy ruining things meant for your children.

Then I heard that they had made Derpy an official character in 'Feeling Pinkie Keen'. I thought, 'Ok, this might be interesting enough', watched the clip where she appears. Then realized, 'ok, let's get some context here' and watched the whole episode. I then said 'Well, that was good, but I'd better see the first episode, so I know just how everything is set up...' By the time I hit Winter Wrap-Up I knew I was hooked. Of the Mane Six, my fave is probably Twilight, but I do love me some Derpy, for dragging me into the fandom.Robin Bobcatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-14114422526625861452013-11-12T05:23:54.133-05:002013-11-12T05:23:54.133-05:00Yep!

Poor pony just wants some quiet time, yet here is this motormouth chatterbox talking to her while she tries to adjust to the party happening in what she had hoped would be her sanctuary. What does she do? Heads straight over to pour herself a badly needed drink.<br /><br />That made me love this show.

We need to recapitulate what happend.<br />I stayed clear of ponies before this link was posted... I got curious and watched it, imagining Jen as Pinkie Pie and John as Shutterfly.... Ohmygosh ohmygosh so hilarious! Then I had to see the episode with shutterfly singing baritone...tehehe... then my husband complained about the random singing... and we compromised by skipping the titles.... then I explained to him which of our friends those ponies reminded me of.... later he wanted to rewatch the Granny-Smith-gives-a-school-presentation episode.... afterwards he complained about me being such a child... and about Rainbow Dash being a jerk... then Daring Do appeared and I heared him murmur "Indy cured you, Egghead, hah" ... and this morning his mobile alarm played a pony song.... just to punish me he said... and somehow he always wanders near whenever he hears Applejack.... and now there's episode 51 waiting.... Ah, there went the weekend!<br /><br />Ahem.<br /><br />Dear Princess Celestia,<br />here is my report what I learned about Ponies and Friendship this weekend. Even if you don't know somebody all that well (because you always lurk in the background and read), those Bronies still can have positive influence in your life and relationships if you have a little trust and let them. You have to try something before you can decide to not like it. If someone you love can't understand at first doesn't mean you should just give up - help them relate instead, and they may be able to enjoy it just as much as you do. They don't have to admit it either, seeing them having fun is enough.<br /><br />I'm sure noone in this little german town will understand, they don't get Doctor Who either. So thank you for introducing me to the MLP, and thanks for letting me share ;)lavachahttp://www.lavachat.denoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-4249687144526736932013-11-11T10:45:51.613-05:002013-11-11T10:45:51.613-05:00When I asked my husband what he wanted to watch fo...When I asked my husband what he wanted to watch for movie night he said "We haven't see My Little Pony Equestria Girls". Okay, I watch the episodes by myself; I didn't realize my husband also watched them. AND he knows all the characters names better than me. It made me think immediately of this post.

Like you and John, I stay far, far, far away from the dark corners of the brony world and choose to stay focused on what makes MLP:FIM so wonderful: the characters, the stories, the animation, the songs, and the messages each episode shares. Also, I am a fourth grade teacher and every single girl in my class thinks that I am the coolest teacher ever because I am a brony. (Well, not just because of that, but it has certainly been a strong selling point!) And, to top it all off, a girl in my class last year convinced her dad to watch the show with her *because* I watch it and now HE is a brony, too! (And, much like John, he's built like a linebacker and could easily rip trees out of the ground with his bare hands if needed.) Yay for bronies!Alex T.

(Google it) My two sons are total bronies and we've seen every single episode at least 5 times including the new one where they turn into people. I bought them each a ponies/portal crossover tee this year and they also each have their own bronies shirts, too. A man liking ponies is no more ridiculous than a woman liking them in my opinion, it's a good show!Brooke (Crackers on the Couch)http://www.crackersonthecouch.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-83226116495165974792013-11-09T08:35:37.130-05:002013-11-09T08:35:37.130-05:00Ohmygosh ohmygosh how exciting!

That's kind of a big deal for me since I struggle with anxiety much like you do, but I just have the feeling that if I can go to a convention cloaked behind Pinkie's sunny and carefree disposition, I might be okay. Is it weird to feel like I'd be better off in a costume? <br /><br />I'm so excited that you like the show - I've come to love it since it has entered my life since it's such a wonderful story about friendship and is perfectly appropriate for all ages without the need to throw in sexual innuendo or "adult" jokes to keep parents watching like so many other kids shows. But the show still has amusing nods that perhaps only adults would get - like the nod to I Love Lucy in The Last Roundup. Me and my husband watch it together and I consider myself a Brony if only to help bring that word back out of the darkness of rude college frat boys. It's probably one of my favorite shows ever :)Sarah Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10836366845953313130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-4197808527028634342013-11-08T23:51:44.604-05:002013-11-08T23:51:44.604-05:00Success!

Hooray for breaking gender stereotypes; especially the much more rigid male ones.<br /><br />At the last con i worked, i met a sweet couple of furs who liked MLP so much they'd decided to combine hooded pony sleepers, complete with cutie marks, with pieces of their fursuits; imagine a couple of bipedal cartoon dobermans in the sleepers with the pony heads carefully pulled down over their ears, and you've got the picture. The girl seemed cheerfully pointed out that her boyfriend had to have the pink sleeper because pinky pie is his absolute favorite. I even got a couple of pictures of them together to share with my niece, since she's big into dogs as well as the ponies.<br /><br />I will admit there are a few quirks of the 80's art that i miss; the ponies then had a little more meat on their bones, and so more closely resembled the horses i grew up riding. But i find the modern characters and storylines so charming, i can't resist keeping up with the series. And if you haven't yet seen Bridle Gossip yet, i highly recommend it; watching spike try, and fail, to come up with a moniker for twilight sparkle that isn't dirty is delightful, and i cackled my way through the whole episode.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-73438905002610988072013-11-08T12:50:22.484-05:002013-11-08T12:50:22.484-05:00He only found one *male* Fluttershy cosplayer - lo...He only found one *male* Fluttershy cosplayer - lots and lots of ladies, of course! :) Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11888187687405622408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-41471107838405092612013-11-08T12:25:20.576-05:002013-11-08T12:25:20.576-05:00Thank you :DThank you :DMikhailBorghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01602695841028346194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-91445998760546706452013-11-08T11:22:08.985-05:002013-11-08T11:22:08.985-05:00My 9 year old son is a Bronie and proud.

When she did her poster presentation, she had episodes playing on her laptop with headphones plugged in so people could listen. I literally stood there for a whole episode. I honestly can't decide on my favorite. I have bits of all the ponies in my personality (animal loving from Fluttershy, crazy enthusiasm from Pinky Pie, bookworminess from Twilight, work ethic from Apple Jack, a little bit of a tough edge from Rainbow Dash, and an artistic flair from Rarity) although if there was an Indiana Jones pony, I would probably be her.
