i'm a fair fan of MLP, not super obsessed, at least not to the point where i actually enjoy the music and collect a bunch of toys, but i do like it a lot, and i'm willing to buy a small moderate amount of merch at least.

as some already realize, i am an analyst, and i nitpick and analyze a lot of aspects of the show, and as much as i like the show just barely enough to watch it, i feel like i would enjoy it more if the write staff did certain things differently with certain episodes.

so lately i mostly been into fan fictions, since there is such a limited amount of decent fanworks in video and audio form, yet i am still on a quest to find more metal oriented MLP projects. i am kinda bummed that Equestrian Lord broke up, they sounded pretty awesome.

my top 10 favorite pony list: (update: RD used to be my favorite, but her behavior in Tanks For The Memories greatly upset me, so after recent episodes, i decided to move my list around a bit, so Twilight is currently my favorite, but barely thanks to Amending Fences. i also decided to knock Pinkie Pie down below Fluttershy because Amy Rogers makes her into an idiot.)

#1: Twilight Sparkle

#2: Fluttershy

#3: Rainbow Dash

#4: Pinkie Pie

#5: Maud Pie

#6: DJ-PON3/Vinyl Scratch

#7: Rarity

#8: Ditzy Do/Derpy Hooves/Muffins

#9: Princess Luna

#10: Sweetie Belle (also somewhat biased due to fanfiction)

beyond my top ten:

#11: Scootaloo

#12: Apple Bloom

#13: Applejack

#14: Princess Celestia (if i was basing off of fanfics, i would rank Celestia higher than AJ)

honorable mentions outside of the canon: Little Pip (FO:E), Calamity (FO:E), Button Mash (Button's Adventures)

I FINALLY CREATED A FAVORITE EPISODES LIST! (as well as a hate list and miscellaneous):

"Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die!

Won't you run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high!"

Dragons... The Elder Scrolls told of their return, but no one wanted to believe they even existed... and when the truth finally dawns, it dawns in fire!... but.. there's one they fear... in their tongue, she is "Dovahshy".. FLUTTERBORN!
