Well, it's certainly been a long time since I've posted on this blog. Since last we spoke, I have become quite the fan of the series. I can't say that I've been spending a lot of money on toys, as my finances are usually stretched too thin to justify buying dolls and figurines. So how can I show my passion for the series and its characters? Especially considering that the show is, at its heart, an advertising campaign for Hasbro products? Well, I've decided to team up with my roommate, named Br

Been on a bit of a poetry kick lately. I have been writing a lot of pieces using Greek mythology, religious ideology, symbolism. Most of my inspiration comes from deep feelings of regret, remorse, solitude and self-hatred. I don't mean to go emo on you guys, but I just wanted to tell you where my ideas are rooted. I have been dealing with a lot, and it comes out in my writing.

Greetings, my friends. I would like to first and foremost apologize for being gone for so long. MLP is not something that I just expressed a brief interest in and then forgot about. I still have episodes on my computer that I watch all the time, I keep fandom music on my phone (<3 MandoPony and AcousticBrony) and I try and keep up with any updates about the Season 5 premier next year. My absence has been due to personal reasons, you see. If you are interested in hearing about my woes, stick

I continue to progress through the series little by little. As I do, I find that I relate more and more to each of the ponies in different ways. I find a bit of myself in all of them, which I think is why the show has such appeal for me. This is not saccharine feminine bullcrap mass produced just to sell toys. These characters are so well developed that it's easy to relate to them. They deal with real issues, have real quirks found in real personalities, and are not all sunshine daisy and butter

Okay, so I just learned who Derpy is and what the song in my last post was actually talking about. In context, the meaning of the entire song changes. I tend to avoid reading about characters because I am afraid of spoilers, but in this case I made an exception, and I'm glad I did. There really aren't any Derpy spoilers. That being said, I can't believe that they changed her appearance and her voice and all that because she was supposedly offensive to the disabled. I'm... I'm sorry? Have things

You guys, this song has me in tears. I am so serious right now. I don't even know who Derpy is, because I haven't reached that point in the series, but I felt the words of this song speak to me so strongly that I couldn't even take it. This is exactly the way I feel all the time. I used to be the one stuck on the sidelines- but lately things have started to change
I would've never thought that being the way I am could make everything end up this way
This is never what I would have expected

Instead of an episode recap and personal observation today, I want to talk to all of you about something I found out about recently. You probably already know about it, as it was rather big news in the brony community, but I am just hearing about it and it burns me up. I was checking out the website for Project Harmony, and they mentioned an incident involving a boy named Michael Morones. Upon researching this boy and what happened to him, I felt absolutely sick to my stomach. Nausea turned to

To be honest, I haven't really had much time today to watch any episodes, which is why this one is coming in so late. I just got the chance to sit down and watch S1E4, "Applebuck Season," and oh my goodness. That was one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time. I see now why so many people enjoy this show. The brony sensation is becoming much more understandable now. Everything from Pinkie Pie's antics, which were priceless, to Spike pulling the muffins out of the trash, had me in stit

I have continued this journey by joining the MLP forums and obtaining the Equestria Daily app for my Android phone. Figure it might help to keep an eye on new developments so I don't fall further behind while trying to catch up with what was new two days ago.
I also finished episode 3, "The Ticket Master." Poor Twilight was so overwhelmed by her friends fighting over something they wanted that she didn't have enough of. They all wanted to go to the gala with her, and all had good reasons for i

Introduction My partner helped me start my journey by linking me to this delightful song "A Long Way From Equestria" by MandoPony and AcousticBrony. I loved it. They took something as simple as a children's TV show and turned it into a song about making the world a better place, which is something I can definitely support. Because we are a long way from Equestria. I've watched the first two episodes and I can honestly say the way the world is today is nothing like the world these characters inh

Okay, this is my first attempt to ever document my journey into a fandom step-by-step, because frankly this is one of the few times I've ever set out to intentionally become a member of a community at the drop of a dime like this. To be honest, if you had told me this morning that I would be taking the first steps toward becoming a brony, I would have told you to go boil your head in a tub of acid. I have been adamantly against bronies since I first learned about them a couple of years back, and
