Hii All,
This is the first time I've tried to interact with the mlp fandom online, and I've only ever just talked with a few people about MLP at conventions (Fanime, Anime Expo). People I've met were usually nice, though I only really spoke to 1 other guy who liked the show and all I said was, "Are you Soarin?" and he said, "Yea." And extended his fist out to Brohoof me. Which was cool.
I'm a huge Rarity fan and feel that Twilight is quite awesome too. During Season 1 Fluttershy was by far my favorite pony, but then I was sad because I feel not much interesting was really done to expand or grow her character in any meaningful way. I feel like the Discord reforming episode (Keep Calm and Flutter On) would have been a great chance to do this, but the resolution just happens too fast.
