Perfect_Harmony

I was finally able to watch it this morning and I must say that it was quite good. The animated bits were easily one some of the best parts of the documentary but the whole thing was just as good. Always good to see productions like this come to fruition.

There are also some other bronies at my school that have to deal with hate from being open about it. Doesn't make me feel any better about wanting to be open.

I guess you could say that I am a little of both. My close friends know that I am a brony and they are perfectly fine with it. I've even gotten some of them to start watching the show as well. I have no intention on becoming completely open with it mainly because of the fear of being rejected. However if the situation arose where somebody somehow found out I was a brony I would not deny my love for the show because at that point I'd rather go all out than try and hide it. I can also say that sometimes I wish that I could be completely open about it so I could meet other bronies and not have to hide it all the time. I am also a Fluttershy fan by the way

Sombra was definitely not as good as Discord or Chrysalis mainly because he lacked actual character progression or depth like the past villains. He was kind of just....there. Not saying he was bad though. Just kind of disappointing that we couldn't get more background info about him.

Great minds do think alike. Besides, who could not love this? http://johnjoseco.deviantart.com/art/Fluttershy-s-Happiness-204621669?q=boost%3Apopular%20Happy%20Fluttershy&qo=3

I commented in this thread a while ago and I must say that I am very impressed on the direction it has been heading ever since. I'm glad most of us can comprehend that love is not only sexual, but it has a great amount to do with feelings as well. These ponies are reflections of real personalities out there, and they have even helped me shape what I look for in a relationship. So if I were able to find a girl just like Fluttershy or Rarity, you can bet that I would undoubtedly fall for her.

Although I can agree with the concept of "Love and Tolerate" there are some....problems with it. I can honestly say that I agree with the tolerate part of the saying. I feel like it is our duty to be above the haters and not stoop down to their levels. If we did, we would be like the rest of the internet. The love part is where I disagree. I only would show gestures of kindness to those who show it in return, not those who hate us. That doesn't mean that I would strike back at the haters, I would tolerate them. I see our corner here as a little "safe heaven" of the internet. We don't have to love everybody, but we can make the internet a better place by staying strong and showing our values to everybody. If they decide to join us, we will welcome them with open arms hence the "Love" part of the saying.

I'd say that is has been rubbing off on me for the most part, I've had to catch myself a few times though. Every once in a while I'll accidentally type everypony instead of everybody, but other than that I don't use references in real life. One thing that has really rubbed off on me is the values that the show teaches. It's really made me re-think my life in a way and it's also made me a better person. No longer do I judge before getting to know someone and I always lend a helping hand when I can. It's kind of...weird admitting that a show could do such a thing, but I'm glad it has.

I was alone in liking the show for quite some time until I finally decided that enough was enough and showed mlp to some of my closest friends. I was fearing rejection, but like many other times I was foolish to believe they would judge me. At first they were hesitant like so many others are when the first see the show, but now I have bronies at my side. It is really quite great because I no longer have to come to the forums to relate with other people who like the show. (Don't worry, the forums are just as good as talking to people in real life) Though they might not be as in to the show as I am it's still nice to be myself around them.

I've been trying to keep my personal liking for the show a secret because not many people around where I live would approve of it. I do have pony wallpapers on my desktop laptop and phone though so someone was bound to find out sooner or later. Yesterday I was busy on my computer when my mother walked in and put a Fluttershy toy right on my desk. She left the room without saying a word and I just sat there. After about a minute of contemplating what I should do next, I just stood up and said: AWWWWWW YEAAAAA! So my mother knows of my liking for the show and she isn't opposed to it. I was expecting her to be shocked and be critical towards me, but she wasn't which is great! I have an indescribable feeling of pride right now, maybe it's because I wasn't afraid to hide it. With this, I have been thinking about coming out about my like for the show. Not with just my family, but publicly. We don't have a brony club at our school and I think that it would be good idea to create one because I honestly don't care what people think anymore. As long as I'm happy, I don't care.
