My Favourite Mane 6 Pony: Fluttershy How did you find MLP Forums?: A friend and Brony
How you became a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: I watched the episodes " Pinkie Pride " and " Magical Mystery Cure " .
I am a 29 year old straight male, I have a youtube page and I go by the name King Mars on there. About 6 years ago, I lost two close female friends who always cared and helped me died from a heroin overdose and one was killed randomly.. My big brother died 3 years ago, the day before his 33rd birthday and the week of Christmas. Up until a year ago I was consumed by my grief. My high school friend " came out " too me and said he was a " Brony " now I always loved my friend and I did bust his chops a little about it.. but I figured since I was a HUGE cartoon fan and I am a starting voice actor I would give a few episodes a try. I was instantly hooked by the beautiful animation, the humor and stellar writing and the greatest voice acting and casting I haven't seen in newer kid's shows.. The characters were sooooo endearing and generally lovable. I have suffered with chronic depression, extreme OCD and ADHD and as of July, I was diagnosed with a sever case of " Eye Rightus " an eye and brain disorder that causes 90% of all light to cause me great sickness and pain that feels like my head is being torn open. So for the last five months I have lived in my small room with no lights and I have to ware sunglasses as well in it, AND as a bonus I am starting to lose vision in my right eye... If it wasn't for those ponies and the world they live in.. I would have killed myself. I am a beefy, chubby man who is a martial artist, amateur voice actor, singer, painter, and I play over 13 different musical instruments, I wouldn't say I am a brony, but after seeing what this community was like.. I decided to come here and seek some ( if not all ) friends in the brony/pegasister culture. I would say my two favorite ponies in the show are Fluttershy ( because shy girls are cute and her voice makes me feel at peace ) and Applejack ( again her voice sooths the sadness and darkness that I have been battling and she is an honest hard worker which I come from a hard working class family ). I am now at a point in my life where all hope seems lost and my youtube channel constantly is full of private messages on how I suck and should kill myself because I am "fat and ugly"... So I am reaching out too this community in a last, desperate plea for a chance too find belonging, kindness, compassion and maybe find my soulmate who shares the values taught on the show.. A message that seems devoid in this world.. ( I have been kicked out and berated for my illness ). So if there is anyone who wants a new friend.. please, I am begging for exile from my hatred, pain and darkness.. I thank anyone who reads this message and hope I will hear from you all soon.
