Shykalar

I swear every time I have that dream, it gets more and more realistic.

The most recently weird dream I've had was a nightmare. My family and friends discovered I was a brony and endlessly mocked me. Dreams like this are probably not helping me gain enough confidence to tell them.

So, I just started work on a new storybook/animation. I'm kinda new to all this so be gentle, but tell me what you think: http://shykalar.deviantart.com/ I tried to do my own style mixed with that of the shows (Because who couldn't love that animation). I did want my own, personal touch to it (I'm a pencil-sketch artist that rarely ever draws lines or anything, so this style is really new to me)

While I am not new to the site, I'm new to accepting I'm a brony. Not going to lie, I did this as a Journalist project in school where I was to dive inside something I dislike and write about it from a neutral angle. So I did and that's what brought me here. Anyways, you guys were super nice, everyone I talked to was incredible and You guys really won me over. I decided to give the show a watch and dang is it addicting. As a general pop culture geek I can appreciate the references and whatnot. I'm going through a bit of a difficult time in life where those dreams you once had are fading and it is nice to see a show that is positive and uplifting. Also, the animation is superb for this show. I love the characters, the light-hearted feeling, and the general positivity. Heck, this show motivated me to pick myself back up and pursue those dreams. As a guy who loves and has always dreamed of working in animation, I can proudly say I'm in application with DHX Media,the company behind this show. I bought my first Brony t-shirt last week to add to my ever-growing geek t-shirt collection. This was also my first public display of being a Brony. Only one person knows yet (I live 100 km away from anyone I know, besides my wife), but this is a great way to just get out there and like what I like. I figured if I could wear a Star Wars t-shirt because I like Star Wars, then it's ok to wear a My Little Pony t-shirt because I like My Little Pony. Too bad I have this revelation 1 week after BronyCAN. Next year, I guess. So, I guess what I want to say is Hello, for real this time. Feel free to message me. I'm also on 9gag under the same name.

Thanks for the enthusiastic welcome, I've been procrastinating on joining this place for a couple days. I just needed to tell someone, as I'm sure some of you can relate. Nice to know I'm not the only person who was kinda freaked out at first. I hope to contribute to art and animation soon. Cheers!

My Favourite Mane 6 Pony: Fluttershy How did you find MLP Forums?: Google search. I was looking for How you became a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: I'm not actually TOO committed To the show. Curious about it, yes, but I came across it while researching 2D animation tutorials on YouTube. The animation style was what I was looking for so I decided to take a look. I've watched a few episodes and it kinda took me by surprise. I'm not sure if I'll ever commit to being a full fledged fan but I decided to join this to get some insight into the fan base and maybe try and get ideas for future animations. Imitation is the start to great creation. I was, up until 2 weeks ago, a brony hater. Never spoke about it and thought bronies were freaks. I'm still hesitant of committing to being a die hard fan, but the show deserves credit for what it's accomplished. It's actually very well done and has my respect. Also, I know that all fandoms have their freaks, as I used to be a Star Wars freak (designed costumes, conventions and everything. Online troll) I'm a guy. I'm 20. I'm getting married in Less than 3 months to the girl of my dreams who has no idea of this. I have no idea why I like fluttershy. She's shy and I relate to that, I guess. And, lastly, I am Canadian. I have lived in Edmonton, Courtenay, Halifax, and am moving to Vancouver. I'm incredibly creative to a fault.
