I just posted this to my personal OC thread but here you go. Her name is Honeycrisp. It's a new art style for me so it's not great yet. But practice makes perfect.

I think I agree that another huge part of the show for me is the fandom. So far from the comments already posted it's reinforcing to me that I am a part of a huge family that echo and agree with so much of my thoughts and feelings. It makes me feel connected with something amazing. it makes me love being a brony and everything that entails.

I actually kind of know what you mean. That has happened with other things for me in the past. It's always a little sad. I really hope that doesn't happen with this. I mean if it does oh well...but still. I wonder if maybe that's why I kind of naturally move away a little bit every once and awhile and then come back. Maybe it's my way of not running it into the ground.

I'm very sorry if this has already been discussed. So I've been thinking a lot lately. There have been times where I was on somewhat of a shallow hiatus from MLP as life takes it's turns and I occasionally drift from the show and the fandom, but I have noticed that every time I come back it's like greeting an old friend. I sometimes think that I have forgotten the joy and happiness of MLP but it returns just as strong as ever. It still means just as much to me as it ever did. So I got to thinking, what is it about MLP that means so much to me? Why is it such a big deal? I want to get personal with you guys and share some of the answers I have come up with. MLP genuinely makes me happy and full of joy. Perhaps like nothing else can. Well except for maybe one thing. I hope you don't mind me going in this direction, but I am a very religious person. And so to me, I think what makes MLP the most personal is that I feel like if you were to take the Gospel and turn it into a cartoon, it would be MLP. The values and morals it teaches are so heartwarming and hopeful. I get upset with a lot of the crap that is in the media these days and it is so nice to see something on TV for a change that is so good and pure and full of love. To me MLP is more than just a cartoon on television though. It really is a huge source of joy and hope in humanity. A beacon of light if you will forgive my cheesiness. What about you? What does the show mean to you? Feel free to share.

Honestly I thought bronies were pretty dang weird. But that was mostly because my sister came home one day talking about this really creepy kid at school who creeped on her hard core and was a brony with a lunchbox and drawings and everything. It also didn't help that I didn't know anything about Friendship Is Magic. So I guess I kind of judged all bronies off of one creepy guy. :$
