Hey everyone! (I won't be using fandom-isms I'm afraid). It's been over 3 years since I last visited this forum. And indeed, it'd been about that long since I last kept up with our little horse cartoon. I'm a college sophomore now, though it seems I'm even less mature than I was when I was teenager. Or at least less inhibited. I fully embrace my love of video games, anime, and kiddie shows again, and so do my friends, so that's cool. I also came out as trans in real life and that's not going fantastic but it's not going badly either. Worry not, website that definitely doesn't remember me! I Am Thriving

But no one comes here to just talk about everyday life. We are all united by our love for a really nice children's cartoon about friendship and rainbow ponies. And I'm actually super behind on it, so no spoilers for seasons 6-8, but I've gone back and watched some episodes Of Interest. Including The Final Problem, the episode of SUCH interest that my social media timelines usually flooded with anime were flooded with pony fanart instead. I really don't have much to say that's already said, and there's a lot that's old to fans now that's still new to me, but oh well. Figured I'd do a rundown of quick reactions since Wow I Care About Horses (And Other Assorted Magical Creatures):

• I fell in love with Sunburst at first sight but never got to any episodes past the one where he and Starlight meet up again. So I'm a fake fan
• I AM NOT A FAKE STARLIGHT FAN THOUGH. I adore her! She's one of my top favorites. I really like her x Twilight but no one seems to agree with me :sob: Apparently she and Trixie meet at some point though? That's extremely cute. I only have To Where And Back Again to go off of, so
• You ask why I've seen TWaBA if I stopped after season 5 and the answer is because I stalked the Fluttercord tag on tumblr long after I'd "grown up" and "moved on to other things"
  • I care about that pairing so much that for a while after I left the fandom it was the only MLP thing I was still willing to talk about
  • In hindsight that was pretty stupid of me since cringe culture is absolutely dead but that's a testament to how emotionally invested I am in a cartoon horse hypothetically dating the god of chaos
  • My friend and I watched Discordant Harmony for the first time one night at around 2 AM and wound up crying real tears on the dorm room floor
  • Oh yeah and also it Actually Canonically Happened baby my taste is NEVER wrong
  • Cartoon pairings I like Happen. my love energy makes waves. Korrasami happened. Bubbline happened. Fluttercord? Happened : )
• LYRABON HAPPENED TOO!! My power! My swag!
• Except Rarijack didn't happen but you can't win em all. Appledash is super cute and also gay rights so I'm not mad
• I'm Cheesepie neutral I'm just glad Pinkie Pie is happy. That's my GIRL
• I watched that Countess Coloratura episode. The songs went too hard. Also I loved Svengallop
• It's because he's a jerk and also has glasses. Love that
• APPARENTLY CADENCE AND SHINING ARMOR HAD A BABY? We'll watch that at some point she's super mega cute
• The CMC got their cutie marks, idk when that happened, and tbh I kinda hate them, but they're baby ponies and they love each other and that's more important
• We watched Flutter Brutter. I love Zephyr Breeze
• I know Big Mac and Sugar Belle get together BRO that's so cute horses in love is so dope
• BRUH I NEED TO KNOW HOW THEY CURED RACISM IN EQUESTRIA ALL I KNOW IS THAT IT HAPPENED
• (my guess is that they used the power of friendship)
• I saw some Cozy Glow (DAUGHTER. CHILD. I LOVE EVIL BABIES) but I missed aaalllll of that arc so IDK anything about the Changelings or where the dragons came from or who those yak creatures are
• I care about the yak girl. She is is big and strong and my friend
• I want to watch the movie soooo bad but whenever I brought it up in high school my friends thought I was joking : ( But not anymore. Ponies on main I want to meet that cat lookin guy

And that's all I can think of. I miiiight stick around here while I watch the rest of the series but 1. IDK when that will happen and 2. I only have time for like 1 and a half websites nowadays anyway. Either way friendship is magic, thank you horse show, I will always love you
