She looks like poison ivy but not evil or crazy! Very cute, good job! Too bad you couldn't get the cutie mark to work well with her.

Yes...but I don't want anyone to think I don't love Applejack as a whole. This is just the one circumstance where she seemed thoughtless. She is a great pony though and she looked gorgeous in her adorable cowgirl gala dress I think she just forgets that fancy people's opinions are just as valid, but she learned that later on in the slumber party episode so I guess this is just...something she was weak in at the time. I doubt she'd ever make that same mistake twice! Again I emphasize, Rarity needed it most - she dreamed of it her whole life.

Not necessarily. Normally, princes and princesses have coronations to become kings and queens. The thing is, little girls only like princesses and toy companies lay off the queens (queens tend to be evil in fairy tales, don't they? Strange.)

Okay we are in the minority but at least a few of us do agree. I mean, it's embarrassing but it's also tacky and most of all rude. I would never go to someone's event and ask their guests for money without their explicit permission and then, only if it's for charity, not for my business. It made absolutely no sense, and Applejack's whole attitude on the thing bothered me because she wanted to do this, but she didn't want to bother getting dressed up to do it or even learn enough about it to realize it was a horrible idea and rude to Princesses Celestia and Luna. Bleh. Irksome. To me that isn't selfless, it's brash.

Egh, teenagers get it pretty bad from everyone else. They literally feel feelings stronger than any other time in their lives and all anyone does is give them shit for it. I mean, yeah I get it, the second you are no longer a teenager you feel a strong dislike for them, and they have a billion flaws but they also have the majority of younger and older generations saying a lot of hateful things about them too. And honestly I think the regional issue is more than just, America and Europe. America has so many different perspectives! Where I live, no one cares about anything, if anything they'll give you shit for being too religious. I can't think of anyone else who is discriminated against around here, but I have lived in different parts of the country and know everything is different everywhere, within a few miles, within the same city but in different neighborhoods - know what, even in the same neighborhood but different schools. It's just messed up to generalize. I have heard the term "closet" with so many random things, "closet trekkie, closet nerd, closet happy meal eater," etc. It's an expression that's stolen to lighten up less serious things. But the correlation with someone finding out you are a "brony" and assuming you are "gay" or a "pedophile" is very real. It totally isn't a big deal to just like a tv show, but if you lived somewhere where liking a tv is a big deal, then it changes that perspective. If we didn't care at all about sexual orientation then you wouldn't feel the need to share that either. Same thing with various religious persecution. You don't need to come out if you live somewhere where religious persecution doesn't exist, but in some places you will feel like it's a serious thing you need to tell certain close relations. I don't know if it will ever be as serious because it is a TV show but it's the same concept to a less serious degree.

I don't know, are you happy with the amount you are dating in real life? These girls have great personalities but they aren't real. The thing I hate the most about "nice guys" is that they fall in love with the "idea" of the girl they like, without really loving the girl for who she is, thus, why they never get her in the end. It's wrong to expect a girl to behave the way you want all the time, but it's fine for fiction and fantasy. I say this because when you apply the feelings you have for a fictional character to real people, you are placing unfair expectations on them. I get this vibe from every guy who says he likes Fluttershy (maybe unfair because I never discussed it with them, but comparing it to guys who like similar girls IRL...it's just messed up because she is on a pedestal and can do no wrong...so what happens when she does mess up? she's only human. Their friendship becomes false because they only see something they want to see, not the real her.) I also have this beef with Manic Pixie Dreamgirls in television and movies, the newest and a subtle form of sexism. I mean, yes I have had my share of cartoon and fictional crushes, but also grew out of them once I couldn't get past the staticness of their characters. But I do feel like I have found true love in real life. Now another problem is, is this just "ew, funny feelings for this cartoon character, I think I have a crush" or is it something you pursue so much that it hurts the relationship you already have with a real special someone? Like you are less attracted to someone you really had a connection to at some point because this fiction is so much better? Those are really some worse case scenarios. I really believe that mostly, it's normal, weird, but not wrong, because you really can't control your feelings. But yes it is weird, and know what, deja vu is weird too. So are dreams. A lot of normal things are weird

aw I think the older pony dolls are sooo much cuter. The new dolls look anorexic and aren't fun at all and have the worst manes. I need to go into my mom's attic and see if any of my old ponies survived, maybe with some old barbies or something.

actually, aren't horses measured in "hands" not "feet"? Just wondering. But then there is Zecora...I believe Zebras are a kind of pony. Unless there is a huge difference between ponies and horses besides size.

it's like when puppies or kittens carry things as gifts for you or because they thing they're great hunters or something. It's also cute because "Awww they think they're people!" even though, in their world they are : )

I always imagined them as small as the original dolls or maybe like, Dalmatian sized (21-27 inches) they are "My Little Pony" after all. But it's so much fun to watch you guys work it out. I think we should just assume a foot is a foot until we know otherwise.

I totally agree with this. I'm not a trekkie, not a Whovian, just a girl who enjoys these things. Filler Filler Filler Filler Fi

Well, to be clear I'm working on getting the license, but I have done work with families and am in the field still. I just graduated so I'm moving beyond my internship and seeking a real position, but yes I am trained and in my work I do therapy and counseling as my job. I'm always available if you need friendly advice (friendly, not official counseling, I feel I must make that disclaimer ). I also couldn't tell but it almost sounds like you are an only child? Siblings and cousins make great allies in these cases, maybe aunts or uncles too. But like I said before, try to put the relationship before the fandom and I do hope you'll reap the benefits. Contact me if you want to talk about doing counseling or therapy!

Christopher Walken would be a hillarious pony or donkey or something. Patrick Stewart also! They both have distinctive voices

I made my family watch on my birthday :-D. Other than that i made my sister watch the rhe discord ones. She is the one who introduced me to star trek and that show is for nerds! Lol. They thought it was funny but also that I like to be different and weird.

They are your parents, and think about this, they can make your life miserable. But you shouldn't have to wait until you're out of the house to be happy. Here's what you do, you listen to them, and make sure they know you heard them. You don't react, no matter how angry what they say makes you. You simply ask to talk about it. Everything they say, you repeat back to them in your own words. If they say, "The show is for little girls and it's wrong for you to watch," you say something like, "It's inappropriate to watch a show that's made for small girls when I am...(I actually don't know what you are sorry, a 17 year old boy?)," etc. until they are done. This lets them know you are being rational, are intelligent, and are in control of yourself. This is absolutely necessary before they can even begin to listen to you. After all, why should they listen to you when they know what's best and you aren't listening to them? I would also stop buying merchandise and making it public for a while just so that they are no longer on edge. This isn't changing who you are, it's just giving them some space and allowing them to see you beyond your bronyness. Anyway, then you can start addressing their concerns with the other advice given here. The thing is, you want something, so give a little something first. I think the biggest thing is to show you are in control of yourself and are respectful. There is tons of communications advice online that real family therapists use (I am a therapist actually) such as "I" statements and no blaming. Look these up, and just remember to breath and whatever you do, do not react! I have been there before. Remember your relationship and communication with your parents is really the issue, not the show. Do you have any siblings that can help? Work on that first. Spend time with them and get on a friendly basis with them. Again, family therapy tools should be easy to find online and if not just ask. (Not that i am officially counseling you). One thing i want to make you aware of is that you have had a lot of ideas thrown at you here, but for the most part I have been seeing your response as lacking hope and insisting nothing will work. That is ok because some of the advice was really bad and you should be able to work out your feelings and ideas here, but Try to open your own mind up as well. Again, Ive been there when I was in high school too. It is awful but in six years you will want to love your parents and have them as a part of your life. Im sure you even want that now.

I think the Cutie Mark Chronicles, because when you find out what your calling is, it's glorious! (seeing the light!) Though sometimes you can struggle to figure out what your life-path should be (like the Crusaders). It's also important to be yourself, that's the only way to be special!

I know all the voice actors (most actors in the universe lol) have had Voice Training in music, but Rarity sounds like the Pony with the most voice training. Twilight is second because her voice sounds like it is purely talent with no work or effort.

It's been done a little bit, but the Yugioh Abridged series completely ponified would just make my life! After that, I would love things from my everyday life to be ponified.
