So am I doing it right? This seems like a different (better) forum than most, and I feel a little out of place.

Thanks for the tip, but I'm pretty sure that's true when looking up just about anything. If there is one thing I've learned about the internet, it's "Be careful though."

Agreed!! And where did you get your avatar? It's AWESOME!! I guess an introduction of myself starts with knowyourmeme.com. I first heard about mlp fim and it's fandom and bronies and stuff on their page for it about nine months ago. At first I was just intrigued at another weird meme, but then I saw so many comments about how good it was. That and the fact that there was a civil war on /b/ over it made me think there was more to this show than it seemed. I decided to watch every episode. I was slightly unimpressed with the first two episodes, but there was a point when the show changed for me. I would watch an episode and think "oh they could have made the plot of that episode better" or "that was rather predictable" but there was something else there. I would get all warm and fuzzy inside at things (especially Fluttershy). Somehow, even though there isn't all of the elements of the greatest, most moving movie ever, it still got to me. This show has some kind of X factor that makes you love these characters without the normal tools of doing so (just in my opinion, not trying to start a movie debate here). Or maybe they are normal but I just don't see it. So after a summer of waiting, I started watching season 2 episodes as they came out. This has been what really solidified me as a brony, because just about everyone one has been AMAZING! The musical numbers, the subject matter and the ponies have made it a great season to watch. I think the anticipation of needing to wait at least a week between each episode helps too. Sorry if this is too long, I just got started and wrote the whole thing. I haven't really told (or written down) my story before, and it felt kinda good even if everyone else just thinks it's tl;dr.

If not objectively, then certainly subjectively. I thought I'd let my first post show my love and support for Fluttershy, the sweetest, humblest, most caring pony ever. I have loved the recent episodes that show Fluttershy in the spotlight, even though I did notice a lack of certain ponies (where has Applejack been for weeks?). P.S. the squee is my favorite.
