I personally don't care if somebody only listens to music created by fellow Bronies, mostly because I don't see anything wrong with it, even though I find it kinda hard to believe that somebody would actually do so. I mean, there is a lot of great brony music out there, but as careful as I am towards listening same music repeatedly (I don't want to get tired of good songs), it just doesn't seem possible thing to do to me. But well, that's just me after all, so I'll give the possibility a chance. But even if it might seem odd to me, it doesn't mean I would judge somebody for listening to only brony music - simply because it's not that it would hurt anypony. A friend of mine once told me that she barely ever listened to music spontaneously, like, maybe just something to pass the time while driving a car for example. When she discovered brony music, it all seemed to change little by little. I don't know if she only listens to brony music these days, but at least she seems to like it - and that's the most important part, right? I don't really care if I don't understand it, as long as people are let to enjoy things they like and it doesn't hurt anybody. I, for my part, was bullied for my music taste for a long time, so I don't feel like having a right to bash anybody for their track list.

^ My thoughts pretty much. Or, on the other hand, if you imagine Sweetie Belle's hair super long, it'd look much like Cadance's. But yeah, I think they would be aware of the enormous amount of attention Cadance and Shining Armor's daughter would get, so I'm not so sure they'd go with something different that recolored Sweetie Belle with wings. But, on the other hand, that's just the picture they've used for the package, so there's a possibility they'd edit her looks a little for the actual show. ...And they'd better do that if they will make her canon. Anyhow, I'm fine with the idea of Princess Skyla being canon, of course with the little requirement I stated. (Just kidding there, of course there should be much more to her, even though we'd probably get to see her as just a baby if anything.) Plus, I'd like to get to see if the little one approves Twilight's babysitting skills.

It's hard to me to believe that the show ever mattered anything for those who abandoned the ship that easily. Like, really. I'm not trying to boast, but honestly, I never was a big fan of the idea of Twilight becoming an alicorn myself, but I never even considered leaving the fandom just because one of the characters grows a bit taller and gets wings. Well, of course I understand if somebody leaves because of simply getting tired of the show, but that kind of things shouldn't happen that suddenly. But to each his own, I suppose.

Oh, seems like I'd be the namesake of Sweetie Belle. Well, that's just because I had to choose A for the second letter since it doesn't have Scandic letters. At Rum And Monkey I got Dream Charmer as a female unicorn name, according to my OC. Doesn't make much sense to me, but after thinking about it for a while, maybe it could have something to do with controlling dreams? Because I would certainly stand any kind of name for that kind of talent.

I hate to admit it but I easily comply with other's opinions - or, well, more like prejudices in this case. In addition, I had never been anything not even near to an active part of a fandom more than once, but with that thing (not alluding to MLP now) I had to keep it all to myself in the end because of the massive amounts of strongly elitist minded people and the fact how the size of your collection of merchandises judges your rank as a "true fan". So, I was foolish enough to think that every fandom would be like that, and I didn't plan to make an exception for Bronies. But, well, failed with that plan, and thank God (or, well, it was my girlfriend actually) I did. Also clarifying the first sentence of this message of mine a bit, what made everything easier to me to "give in" to MLP was that even if I might had shared my "opinions" with the general haters before, being a furry I never saw anything weird with people being fans of the show about cute ponies. So, maybe I could say I just went with the flow until MLP decided to give me it's first life lesson about judging something you know nothing about.

I think I could be selfish enough to go all "NOOO but now it won't fit with my favourite shipping!" (*quoting Dashabel*) if some of the popular fan shippings - like AppleDash - would became canon. But then again, it's not that I would be forced to let go of my own shippings, since it's all about entertainment after all, no matter how fiery passion you'd love your OTP with. I mean, no one should bash you for having fun, right? Plus, there still would be people who'd be really happy if they made it canon, and that would be enough of a reason to tolerate the idea. Personally, I'd really like to see a homosexual couple in MLP (as for the fan shipping thing, to me it would most likely be Lyra and Bon Bon, but that's just my preference. However, I'd still prefer creating brand new characters for that purpose). Maybe not involving the mane six in the way of one of them being in the relationship, since to me they reflect the show's message of friendship at it's strongest. Also, I'm not going to appeal to the equality thing, as if the show has it's heterosexual relationships, it MUST deal with homosexuality, too. Like, it's not that it would be different kind of love or anything. In that perspective, it would be just adding more lovey dovey things to a show which already has them, which I don't find so necessary. But like it has already been stated in this topic, it's already freaking 2013 and kids are still raised by telling them that homosexuality is wrong. I don't mean only parents, but also other sources of learning about life. I'm not telling you that EVERY cartoon should deal with homosexuality, but in my opinion, MLP has potential to do it. Well, it already encourages people to be themselves, and because of that, I think it's totally ok to not have a single non-hetero couple in the show. But it certainly doesn't stop me thinking there could be some. But after all, I'm not too fond of the idea of making a fan-made shipping canon, or at least some involving a mane six character/characters because I just like them as, you know, fan things. It would also definitely cause a poopstorm like no other. Still, if the creators decided to give a that kind of chance to a fan-made shipping, I'd be ok with it. I don't really think this improved the discussion at all but I felt like stating my opinion. I also hope it wasn't too off topic (or messy because of my somewhat poor English).

If that's weird, we must live in a planet populated by weirdos! No, really, I don't think that weird at all, since the characters in MLP have human-like personalities, and I wouldn't call them bad looking either. As for the bestiality thing, I find that kind of theory rather ridiculous (now I'm not even talking about only the "innocent" kind of attraction) because it's not like we're watching a nature documentary about real ponies. I myself can't deny the fact that I might have a crush on Spitfire, but that doesn't bother me because I find that kind of attraction different to what you can feel towards an actual person.

Firstly, I simply like the show very much - pretty much of a no-brainer I guess, but this series is just something that can't be worn out so easily, meaning that you can rewatch your favourite episodes without getting tired of them. Aaand it's got cute and beautifully animated anthropomorphic animals, so how could I say 'no'? Speaking of the visual part of the show, art must be one of the greatest causes for me to stick to the fandom. I'm more of a lonely fan anyway due to my personality and such things, but spending a lot time alone doesn't bother me as long as I have a pencil and some paper with me. If it feels like I can't get anything to draw, I'll just draw some ponies - it's like an excessively easy way to get rid of an art block! Not that drawing MLP related things would be just a "tool" to me - I really like drawing it in general and that's all that matters. The whole fan art part is just incredible. By "art" I don't mean just the graphic side now, but also writing, music, crafts, everything. We have tons of talented artists, but I think what's even more awesome is the creativity and that's where all the fun begins. So, yeah, I'd say that the fandom just makes the series complete to me, and I wouldn't get rid of the the visual part of it even though I'd try. ...Not that I ever would, tho.

Voted for Fluttershy for the favourite main pony. At first she even irritated me (mostly because I identify myself with her haha), but because MLP:FIM isn't an one-trait-character show, she's really grown on me by proving that there's so much more to the shyness and reticence. As for the favourite secondary character of mine, it's absolutely Spitfire! The Wonderbolts Academy was kind of a shock to me at first (you know, the voice and all), but in the end it wasn't half that bad since it just shows how people can be different on duty. Favorite tertiary background character was a difficult choice, but I have to say Bon Bon, mostly because of the fan art/fiction. ...Dang it, now I have to vote for Lyra, too (obviously for the same reasons).
