Small ways MLP has affected your Life

[AnonyPoni 564]

So we hear about how people becoming Bronies and how much it impacted their life. Many of us have that story.

 

But right now, I'm curious about the non life changing things the show has done for you. Very small addtions/subtations to your life that wont change it but just make it different because you are a Brony

 

 

With me, when I here of Apple, I no longer think of the Computer Company but an actual apple, not to mention our sweet friend Applejack

 

 

It also Takes me a second to remember that is a cereal.

"we're eating Applejacks, you want some?"

*Horrid gasp by me for a second*

 

 

Im not scared of butterflies now

 

The MLP Forums have made me a bit less shy when I talk to people (im still working on approaching people)

 

Im trying to convert a friend (i dont think it will work, but I hope so anyway)

 

I subtly and unsubtly trying to see if people I know are bronies

Replaced my normal consumption of orange juice at school with apple juice.

 

Consciously more thankful for my younger sister, whom is a bizarre mix of Applebloom and Sweetie Belle in some ways.

Everytime someone talks about chickens or chicken related things...I think of Scootaloo...

[spas-ticShotty 3,582]

It's made me sooooo much more tolerant of things/subjects and made me respect some subjects that didn't deserve the hate I would've given if I discovered them before MLP.

 

I'm also a happier person in the inside, although I don't usually show it

[Aureity 3,055]

If I fill my mind with ponies, my political views shift drastically from conservative authoritarianism to liberal libertarianism. I dunno how :c

[go away seb 367]

I would find myself doze off in class sometimes. Do not ask how, but somehow I drew a picture of Rainbow Dash whie I was dazed. I swore I couldn't show my face at school ever again. Good thing for Summer. My class has a memory like a goldfish.

This fandom makes me procrastinate more in works. Instead of working on the production sheets, I'm reading MLP fanfic and reading a MLP thread.

[Random User 249]

It affected me in the way that I wear MLP clothing items now.

[moneyshredderofdeath 414]

Thanks to MLP I can't help but chuckle whenever I see anything else pertaining to horses. Heck, I only know certain horse terms (such as filly) because of the show.

[Scarfy HOOVES 310]

rainbows are now the universal symbol for awesomeness

 

It affected me in the way that I wear MLP clothing items now.

 

second that. i skateboard and most of my clothes are skateboard brand. now the majority is MLP i just wish it wasn't so bloody expensive for 1 t-shirt

[Hat988 105]

I always have good music now.

[Skye Starlight 223]

Not much... I guess I'm a nicer person (I've always been very patient and quiet), but I'm also seeing lots of flaws in my friendships with everyone around me... Especially my close friends. They always seem to forget I exist when I'm not there ...

Mind, it's also made me more social, and I've actually begun to come out from the impenetrable fortress that used to shroud my true personality... Now I've realized I can be as random and excited as I want, because it is what I truly am like! And it feels right to do so! I took a lesson from Pinkie on that!

 

It's also hurt my grades a bit... Procrastination!

[Dose Most 4]

no lie. i started dressing nicer because of rarity

and of course i cant hear the word apple without thinking applejack.

im sure there`s more im not consciously aware of

[Ron Jeremy 2,032]

Anytime I see names of cultivars of apples such as Braeburn and Golden Delicious, the first thing that pops to my head is the ponies, not the apples. Also, I eat more apples.

 

I'm more willing to try new things now, too.

[MatrixChicken 879]

Every time I see a certain friend of mine (I converted her into a (young) pegasister), I try to sneak in little pony references to see if she'll get them. It's quite fun. Her older sister (whom I tried to convert, but mostly failed (she watches it, but only because "There's nothing else to do)) is constantly annoyed by it, though, and "wishes I had never shown her". I find that the majority of music I listen to is somehow related to ponies.

The MLP Forums have made me a bit less shy when I talk to people

 

I subtly and unsubtly trying to see if people I know are bronies

 

You know if you Google "applejack" on google images only one result on the first page is the cereal? Everything else is Applejack(pony)

 

Same with the forums

 

I also try to see if people are bronies. I'll say stuff like:

"Nice jacket but it needs to be about 20% cooler"

"I bet I can beat your highscore in ten seconds flat!"

"Of all the worse things that could happen, Obama getting re-elected would be the WORST. POSSIBLE. THING!"

[AnonyPoni 564]

For me, Skillet will always be a pony band, since this is the first time I heard their stuff

My Little Pony has effected me all-round. I am (or at least try to be) nicer to everybody aroun me, because I have seen the results from the Gilda episode. And because the show portrays a good example of what it is like to have friends, and it is nice.

 

I am generally a lot happier and motivated toward things. (I am currently working on my singing and guitar skills.)

 

I don't get bothered by many things or people anymore, because ponies.

 

My Little Pony is like a life medicine.

that's awesome im totally going to start throwing brony references every where now.

[Green Precision 421]

Whether awkward or normal, what things has being a brony caused you to do in real life?

 

Let me tell you an awkward one (some might have heard this)

Friend-(Has bow in hair)

Me- Hey you have something in your... (thinking)... mane.

Me- (Walks off)

Friend- Mane...?

 

derp.

MLP:FiM has improved my tolerance, my thoughts on touchy subjects and my short temper. It has also taught me how to be more sociable and make friends.

 

I am a very happy person because of what MLP:FiM has done to me. Who knew that small things from a cutesy TV show could help you become a batter person? x)

[Jeric 46,835]

Both my teenage daughters are Bronies, so this is another avenue for us to bond through a mutual interest. That little extra shared interest is always great. Also, it's funny to see my wife facepalm when we all start talking about an episode, talk pony, or break into song. 

 

Also, I found this place. Though with the friends I have met ... it wouldn't be fair to call this a 'small way'. 

[Steel Accord 6,658]

Well I try to be a little more open with people, more willing to allow opportunities for friendship to take root. I'm also more open to different genres of music from the various brony musicians showing me that even rap had potential I previously dismissed.

[Kapitan zur See Hans (Daz) 883]

Bit weird, but it's given me a little bit of a brighter outlook on everything and to be a little nicer to everyone.
