All in all I can say this year has been a good one for me as far as March Madness is concerned. And while my favorite pony lost earlier than I would have liked, I still love Luna most. I'm also not mad about her losing to Fluttershy because I love Fluttershy only marginally less. Like, it's the same difference between sugar cookies and chocolate chip. I pretty much love them the same.

Now we're at the Final Four and the championship is right around the corner. The fans have spoken and I'm quite pleased with how it looks.

First, I want to talk about Pinkie Pie. I want to say that you Pinkie fans have to be pretty dedicated to your character. She's had a pretty rocky season so far, from making Fluttershy cry to just being called the "village idiot." You guys and gals have held dearly to your favorite pony this season. I have to say that I'm surprised to see her in the Final Four. Pinkie Pie has had a much more threatening bracket journey up. She could easily have lost to Sweetie Belle and Derpy, but she didn't and I'm happy to see her here.

Next there's Applejack. Up until Rainbow Dash, I think it's safe to say she's had it easy. So I'm not quite as surprised to see her here. I think episodes like Rainbow Falls really hurt Rainbow Dash's chances to get into the Final Four. It's only my opinion, but I didn't think the Applejack episodes this season were 100% amazing. But like the others she's had to claw her way up here and it's nice to see the one pony who gets picked on for being a "background pony" (when she obviously isn't) make it this far. Good job, AJ.

Fluttershy is one of my favorite ponies. In fact, she's my #2 favorite (next to Luna...duh). I love Fluttershy. She's sweet and caring, but extremely reserved. If she's in a room with others, she's definitely not one to initiate conversation. She's fragile, but she'd go out of her way to help a friend in need because putting yourself second is what kindness is about. However, she's just so timid that she has difficulty standing up for herself. In short, Fluttershy reminds me of myself in a lot of ways, making her super easy for me to relate to.

And Rarity. Let me say that before this season, I didn't really like Rarity too much. She seemed kinda snobby. Like, I had a problem with some of her earlier episodes, but I won't get into that. All I have to say about Rarity is that she quickly went from the bottom of my list to having a spot in my Top 5. And I owe it partly to a great season and also to @ghostfacekiller39, who has shown me that she really is an awesome character after all. Thank you, ghostie, for showing me the error of my ways

So as for my favorites to win the Final Four, this was easy for me

From my post earlier

I just love the relationship between these two. The way they interact is always a treat. I've always loved Fluttershy for her sweet and caring, but extremely reserved nature. She reminds me of myself in a number of ways. And Rarity has become a favorite of mine this season. She's intelligent and intuitive, and it plays perfectly with Fluttershy's personality because Rarity is much more in tune with Fluttershy's disposition than anyone else. While Rarity is much more outgoing than Fluttershy, she's just as caring and understanding. She's like Flutters in many ways, but without the social anxiety. And while Rarity can't exactly figure out why Fluttershy is the way she is, she "gets it" and she accepts Fluttershy at face value. This is something I haven't really seen in her until this season (although it's always been there). Out of the four I see, these are the two I want to move on to the championship

And who do I want to win?

You expect me to say, Fluttershy, right? Because if you do, then I hate to disappoint.

After having such an awesome season, she definitely deserves to win it all.
