Hey, everyone! My name is Dark, or Jordan.
I'm a long time fan of the show, been watching for nearly a decade at this point. Nowadays I'm mostly a fan of the comic series, which I've heard mixed things about in the fandom, but I personally really like. I kind of fell out of the fandom in around 2014, as most of my friends who were into the show either moved on, or were no longer in easy contact. Back then, to me, I had to be able to talk about a show to my friends to like it, a philosophy I've (thankfully) since abandoned. That leads me to my biggest question:
I've watched the first two seasons on repeat pretty much everyday when I was 13, so I have a near photographic memory of those seasons, but only have vague memories of Season 3 and 4. I hear Seasons 5-7 are great from the few friends I have that watch the show, and I want to catch up, but I'm unsure if I should rewatch the entire series over or if I should only watch the better episodes. I'm leaning towards a complete rewatch, to see if the episodes I thought were bad are still bad from a more 'refined' and 'mature' angle, episodes like Power Ponies and Just For Sidekicks were particularly hard to watch episodes when they first aired, so I'm curious to see how they hold up now.
Man, there are so much more comics, seasons and specials nowadays, it's a little overwhelming, but at least I'll have stuff to keep me busy for awhile..
Outside of Ponies, I'm a huge fan of an array of nerdy stuff, such as Power Rangers, Ultraman, Super Sentai, Scooby Doo, Pokemon, Digimon, Harry Potter, DC Comics, Marvel Comics, IDW Comics, Peanuts by Schulz, Adventure Time, Steven Universe, Las Leyendas and so on. I also play a lot of video games, but less so over the years. I mostly play Sonic games, Team Fortress 2, The X-Men Legends series and occasional Indie games that catch my attention.
Other hobbies of mine include Astronomy, Mathematics (Physics, Geometry), Writing, Drawing, Table Top Role-Playing, Cartography and World Building. I have aspirations of becoming a screenwriter and maybe even a storyboarder if I get better at drawing. I'm also writing a novel, slowly, oh so slowly...
Not really sure if I have much else to say other then I'm excited to be here!
