"Oh well...my man card was revoked a long time ago, might as well check this out. Wow, is the whole show as corny as this intro sequence?" A few episodes later: "I love this!!!"

Well, it's just like her to rush into things. What would I do if she kissed me? I would freeze up and be totally freaked out. I'd wonder what the hell a cartoon character is doing here, why a thrill-seeker like Rainbow Dash would go for a boring nerd like me, and how weird I must be for feeling this way about an animated pony. And then I would kiss her back anyway.

Not at all! It's not something I'm really into, like those disturbing pictures of Pinkie being a serial killer or weird fan fiction where the ponies die or commit suicide. And I wasn't even particularly taken with My Little Dashie, well written as it was...but I respect your right to enjoy the darker side. Love and tolerance, you know?

I love MLP because it's the best kids' cartoon show since the 90's. It has great characters that you immediately identify with and care about, different species or not. It doesn't assume kids are dummies who need to be spoon-fed everything. It doesn't try too hard to be clever. It has no agenda other than encouraging friendship, love and tolerance. It has relevant humor without distracting pop culture references. And most importantly...Rainbow Dash is awesome. Rainbow is a pony, therefore ponies are awesome. My Little Pony features ponies, therefore the show is awesome. And I'm here hanging out with all of you because of the show, therefore we are all awesome. So really it all traces back to Rainbow. xD

I don't want to label Twilight as anything in particular, but I'll list some things I've noticed about her... --She is very businesslike and needs to be right all the time. --She's afraid of being criticized or rejected by others. --She doesn't like showing off her abilities. --She wants to do everything "by the book" and gets upset or uncomfortable when things don't go exactly as she plans. I'm a lot like Twilight. Maybe that's why I love her so much.

I'm not sure...something about labeling our beloved ponies with real-world mental disorders feels wrong to me. But I'll throw out a few thoughts. Pinkie Pie, crazy? Crazy like a fox, I say. I think there's more to her than meets the eye. Pinkie knows what she wants, and her seemingly random ideas or fantasies usually go back to that. She wants to have fun and share her excitement with others at all costs. She has a short attention span, more energy than she knows what to do with and a fantastically vivid imagination. She is in love with life and constantly looking for more stimulation. Not in the same way as Rainbow Dash, who loves competition and adrenaline highs, but the two of them could definitely relate. I love the episode where she and Dash team up to pull pranks on everypony. And where she pretty clearly was leading Gilda on when the gryphon blamed her for all those jokes at the party that were actually Rainbow's ideas. I wouldn't be surprised if Pinkie suggested them to her beforehand.

Interesting question. I picked "until she was asked, then she'd crack." Now that you bring it up, I'd really like to see an episode where Twilight has to keep a secret from Celestia. I wonder what Celestia's keeping from HER. I never have trusted that princess. Where is she? What's she doing all day? Has she ever solved any problems in her own kingdom? I can imagine how the citizens of Ponyville might feel. "Hmmm, something weird or dangerous is rampaging into town again and the princess and her stallions are nowhere to be found...but that's okay, because we can always count on these SIX RANDOM CITIZENS!"

Pinkie Pie. Not because she has the best singing voice, but because her songs are the funniest. And that pose at the end of "evil enchantress" just immortalized her.

1. What would you do if Pinkie Pie bit you? --Shove a cupcake in her mouth and say "if you're so hungry, eat this." 2. What would you do if Sweetie Belle had a grenade? --Run. But I'd run from anyone who had a grenade. 3. What would you do if you were watching MLP and the mane 6 came out of the screen? --Be the happiest person in the world. I'd be friends with all of them and love them forever. Rarity could do some interior decorating on my apartment. Fluttershy would love my dog, and vice versa. I've got books galore, so Twilight would be happy. Rainbow would be harder to please, since there's not much room to run around in my place. Maybe I'd show her my music collection. (Bet you her favorite band is Cloudkicker.) Applejack could kick my annoying neighbors. Then Pinkie Pie and me would gorge ourselves on sweets. 4. Do you think Spike should grow a mustache? --No, it wouldn't look right on him. 5. QUICK! A wild Squirtle appeared. You have 1 pony ball. What do you do? --Ignore the Squirtle and use the pony ball to catch a pony instead. 6. What would you do if you saw Rainbow Dash spying on you in the shower? --Say "sorry, I'm not a horse. Even if it looks that way." 7. What would you do if Applejack didn't make you breakfast? --I would be very unsurprised and proceed to have a normal day. 8. Ponies or all the money in the world? --Eventually the makers of MLP will have all our money in the world because the show is that awesome, so...ponies. ^^ 9. What would you do if Fluttershy was playing Skyrim? --Start her out with something that's easier to play with hooves, like DDR. 10. What would you do if Twilight had a nightmare and wanted to sleep in your bed with you tonight? --I'd say yes, and read to her until she fell asleep.

I love them all. But if I had to pick a favorite, Rainbow Dash. She's brave, loyal and ready for action. Plus her voice is awesome. Twilight Sparkle is a close second, though. We're both bookworms who want to be right all the time.
