    MLP Forums & FiM anniversary Part 2

    in Older Events

    Wow where to begin! I'm sure I've told this story plenty of times and I'm sorry if this is too repetitive for you!! 

     

    I discovered the show at a very strange point in my life. I had always been aware of the show's fandom phenomenon but I'd never looked into it other than there must be something special about the show to have such a following. 

    I distinctly remember having a few mates around, passing the time away playing COD WAW Zombies and one way or another we ended up browsing youtube watching stuff like Joe from Joey's world tour doing the green wasabi challenge. Then a friend put on one of the infamous "brony cringe" videos. I remember sitting there watching these people expressing themselves through this show not aimed at their demographic and I found myself fascinated as to what makes this show so appealing. 

    Fast forward a couple weeks and I'm browsing youtube just wasting time and somehow youtube decided to recommend to me "Applejack's Day Off". I decided to watch this episode just to see what the fuss was about and well, I was hooked. After watching the show in it's entirety I've come to understand Applejack's day off isn't the best the show as to offer but regardless I was so interested with the story, the level of writing and the effort the show creators put into the episode that I started to watch a couple more. 

    I then decided to start from the beginning and I think I watched the show in it's entirety (There were 7 seasons at that point) in something like 3 weeks. I can't explain how or why but the show gave me strength and motivation to get out of bed in a morning and push through my GCSE's. I was at a low point back then, something I've only cones to realise after the fact, but the show helped. And then I found the forums.

     

    I know I haven't been the most active member, i'm prone to disappearing sometimes for months at a time but you all mean more to me than I can say or express. Everyone of you that I have met or seen on the forums have been super super friendly and so welcoming! It was a nice relief to meet genuinely nice people who care and share similar interests to me.

    As for the show it's self. I have never come across a show/ piece of media etc that has brought out physical emotion from me, The Perfect Pear has affected me (positively) massively!! 

     

    I'm rambling and I probably don't make much sense so I'm going to stop talking! 

     

    Anyway, yeah. I love the show and I love you guys! Heres to the future :D

    The Beach Boys vs. The Beatles?

    in Media Discussion

    This is such a hard one for me to answer!!! I prefer the individual music of the Beach boys but I can really appreciate the impact The Beatles had on the music industry.... 

     

    I guess I'll pick The Beatles because I live right by Liverpool so I can't move for Beatles fans, they might hurt me if I vote otherwise XD

    I'm curious as to what your thoughts/ opinions are on this show? I'm just about finished watching it and I'm sorta on the fence. 

     

    I feel it missed it's potential. It could've been a very good show, I have much respect for Carrell and many of the other cast but I just felt the show fell short of the mark. That being said, I still enjoyed watching it. As the season got on I found myself becoming more and more entertained by it. 

     

    I kinda hope they make a second series but do it the right way, they could have a hit on their hands!

    Where do you think you would be if you never got into pony?

    Yep I'd be a very different person for sure. The show and the fandom has helped me through more than I can ever repay (Thank you all SO MUCH for that!). I grew up with the traditional Northern English surroundings i.e told not to speak my feelings because I'm "a bloke and Northerners don't show any emotion" but the fandom has taught me that it's okay to have emotions, it's okay to ask for help. 

     

    Don't get me wrong I am extremely proud to call my self a Northerner, I eat, sleep and breathe the Northern Lifestyle here in the UK but the fandom has taught me it's okay to deviate from that pattern in some areas. Just that thought alone has helped me through some difficult times. 

     

    A lot of you know this already but the whole reason I found you guys is because of those infamous "Brony Cringe" videos because I found myself fascinated with the phenomena rather than cringing at the video. That curiosity led me to watch Applejack's day off, and the rest is history. 

     

    All in all, I owe some much to you all, and the show, and there is no way I could ever repay it all, as hard as I may try. So thank you. Thank you all!

    Do you consider yourself a good cook?

    in General Discussion

    I love cooking! I'm self taught (With help from the limited episodes of Kitchen Nightmares I've seen!) and I love experimenting with new combos and stuff. 

     

    My latest creation is Toast, Sliced chicken, Fried Egg with a  pinch of pepper. 

    Melted cheese if I'm extra hungry XD

    Games you have NEVER finished

    Red Dead Redemption 2. Not because it's a bad game by any means but because I can just sense the ending is going to be sad and I'm not ready for that yet XD. 

    I've managed to dodge spoilers the whole time too. I will bite to bullet at some point tho!
