I started this Series Navigating on Brony Waters to comment about my experience when i was a brony plush some reflections and thoughts; in this part am gonna cover the first impression i had about MLP and the Brony Fandom itself.

All who have read my previous entry know that i am not a brony anymore, so i'll speak "outside of the pool" about the brony fandom with non pony eyes. When you are not a Brony and see things like the documentals we all seen

it makes you believe in a true brotherhood sharing one simple thing that is My Little Pony: Friendhip is magic, when you investigate in the fandom and all it's works for themselves you seen a oasis of art like a treasure chamber with artistic jewels like drawing, music, animations and much more, it makes you believe the instense love these people feel for a common inocent cartoon that was aimed to little girls and the toy franchise. It's the promised land of all people who are seeking something new, a place of relief, a place full of love and friendship, why not? if Disney was the same in the 30s. What MLP has in my personal opinion is:
- Colorful ambience
- Slice of life episodes (most of them)
- Character with a remarkable personality
- Songs and music
- The video/audio quality
- The X factor
The show is not like it's previous generations where all it was were tea parties, silly jokes and a poor animation (if we compare it to the g4 MLP)it makes me wonder how would if g4 existed in the 80's and progress to this day?

Now let's take a look at the Bronies from the very first angle: normally a person who hasn't know nothing about the brony culture and hear about a guy who likes My Little Pony tends to stereotype the appereance and personality, i am not saying that myself i just the memory of the testimony of people impressed to the show

Normally this image comes to most non brony when they imagine a guy loving MLP, some of the Stereotypes people (sometimes more, sometimes just one) think from them is:
-Cowards
-Fat
-Low Self love
-Drama queen/Attention Whores
-Pedos
-They have no girlfriends/virgins (like it was a bad thing)
-Live with their mothers
-Use Glasses (again, like it was a bad thing -_-)
-They are Autist/Asperger/ADHD or any Special Mental Condition
- Play Videogames most of the day with nothing more useful to do with their time
-They have no serious arguments claiming to be "random"
-They Attack you if you dont agree with them

I can put more but you get the picture, i was a Brony in the past 3 years and i can say is that the people who use this insults are ignorant and haven't seen what MLP has to offer. MLP is more than just a liking, MLP has become a way of life for the Bronies, their hope and none has the right to mess with them. I Believe that the stereotype that cops and feds are fat and eat donuts is more believable.

The Brony Fandom at first sight can be categorized as another fandom like the Furries or Otakus (people who loves Anime so much) but i disagree, MLP kinda has it's differencies with the rest because they are more united, let's take a look to the furry fandom: i been in some of their websites and some say it's because the like animals and sexual stuff, not all but a lot of them.

I am not Saying that some are good and other are bad, all am saying is that Bronies are the strongest Fandom i seen and maybe i could be wrong because i haven't take a look to the others enough. Is one of those that get you at surprice for the strange concept... "Ponies!? you never liked them until now! Is just a Talking colored horse! what's up with the Love and Tolerate? " Sometimes people are freaked out with a adult male looking the show with the intro song and the guy are singing all alone

sometimes, the TV-G must been taken in all it's concept.

To close this entry of the Surface level i want to say is that MLP has a very welcoming appereance that attracts the average user inside the world, with all it's colours music and art The Brony fandom opens the gate to all people into the brothehood of ponies.It promises you to meet friends who are gonna accept you no matter what and you only need to love MLP to be considered a Brony.

On the next episode of Navigating on Brony Waters we are gonna clash with the pirates who carry flags of their purpose, even on small boats they have their message pretty deep but no sustance: The Anti-Bronies!
