Astralshy

Forum Anniversary

You are really lucky people: first my Bronyversary then my Birthday and now this. All in five weeks :>

You’re getting all the Astral here!

I remember when I found this show in December of 2020 and was watching it like crazy. Blowing through this whole show within just a couple of weeks and got so invested in it to look for its fandom. It didn’t take long for me to find MLPF.  I was reading through some threads and profiles to get a feeling for the community and then it took me still a full week to convince myself to register. I nearly didn’t do it, because I had not got always positive experiences with Forums, but I was too invested.

So I did it - on 17th of January.

I started the registration process, I needed to find a username and found (with the help of a Pony Name Generator) my current one. I made this Avatar here and wrote my Welcome Thread and looked for some easy posts to get out of the Blank Flank rank.

BAM Muffin!

I went back to my welcome thread and read your really friendly and lovely replies which made me feel welcome here! I also notice that some people just started following me. I was wondering but I returned their follows:

@Pandora @TomDaBombMLP @raykv423

For the first couple of days I was merely jumping between @Pandora and @TomDaBombMLP profiles and was consuming the PonyArt Pictures they posts and loved them. More and More! But I also gained more and more ppl following me like @Midnight Danny @AppleButt @Tacodidra @RaraLover and many others

I also remember seeing @Starlight posting a fandom song on his Profile (I think it was this

At this point I hadn’t listen to PonyMusic yet. I liked the song and commented to his update. @Kujamih also replied and got me  more tips and also @Totally Lyra offered me additional hints and recommendations about song because he was once so invested in this. I accepted his offer and this was my entry point of the Pony Music which has taken over my whole music consuming life by this point. I couldn’t even beginn to guess how many hours Ive spend last year on listening Pony Music

A couple of days later I discovered FlutterBorn song and it started me to draw again.

Something I gave up a long long time ago and thought I never would do it again. I drew more and more and posted it more often on the forum. People seemed to love them :>

Within the next weeks more and more people were following me like

@Deae Rising Shine~@Rikifive @Splashee @GeneralDirection  @Dark Horse@DivineCaptain1000 @Rising Dusk @StarrySkyDash @EpicEnergy @Flying Pencil 

In the next months I got more and more friends on the Forum from whom I’ve got so many wonderful memories: All the Milkshakes and Wubs I shared with @Flutterstep, or all the Praising of the divines with @DivineCaptain1000, all the Random facts and Games with @Samurai Equine, all the cute animals pricture from @strongwilled_pegasus or the the interesting chats I had with @ExplosionMare or @Cagey or teatimes with @Treeglow Flicker  or @The Mint Pone. I also remember the nicknames with @Windy Breeze we gave each other. And you maybe notice I could continue this for a very long time. I hold a very positive opinion/feeling of you all.

Therefore

*hugs you all*

Also people who are not directly in my bubble like

 @Sparklefan1234 @Landi @Brony Number 42 @abrony-mouse etc

A full year I’m now with you guys.

How time flies?!

Well I’m a Pegasus, so what did you expect

I really digged very deep into Ponies and the Fandom of course I also got many awesome friends here who I trust.

This really helped me last year to endure my very obnoxious work and of course all of this pandemic stuff.

Im really looking forward to the next years (plural) with you guys. It was just the first one and Ponies seem as strong and lively not only but also due to G5 Movie.

You all are important to me even if I haven't mentioned you yet because it’s just so many xD

But here comes a big Hug and invention to Cake and Tea or Coffee

and now let's have some Party Music

Hooves Up In The Air

and

Good Monday Evening
