Liking the ponies you didn't liked

[Silver Flower 18]

I never disliked any of them but Pinkie Pie and Applejack are growing on me. I've only seen eight episodes so far though. Or nine. Or ten Or...whichever winter wrap-up is.

I'll join the growing number of people in saying Rarity as well. As has been stating, found her shallow for awhile but people pointing out her unique position of being a business owner and the various sibling-related dilemmas she ends up in made her pretty endearing.

Trixie, although I'm back to hating her again, Leona got me into her.

The only ponies I have really disliked are Snips and Snails. I still dislike them, and I will always dislike them. There is nothing they could possibly do to change my mind.

I used to hate Trixie but....

 

oh wait, I still loathe her.

 

Real answer: Was apathetic toward Granny Smith but she's been awesome in season 2.

I used to not really like Rarity, but she's now overthrown Pinkie as 4th place, which makes her one of the 4 I really really like. I love her voice, she looks really good, but her personality is a little 'eeeyyyeneeeh?' sometimes. Other times, I really do like her, so.... Pinkie Pie has been a little more annoying to me lately, which is why she's moved to 5th place.

Hmmmm... tricky. I used to think that Princess Celestia was just some stereotypical mentor figure for Twilight, but now I love her for what she truly is... that's right, Equestria's #1 Troll, THE PRINCESS TROLLESTIA (LOL )!

When I started watching the show I didn't like Pinkie Pie or Rarity but they quickly grew on me.

When I started to watch FIM, I only liked Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy to be honest. The FIM show was new to me, it's not like anything else I have ever experienced. In video games or Anime I would always have my 1 or 2 favorite characters, because these 1 or 2 would be the only likable ones. It was always like this. That's why I assumed it would be the same with FIM too. Rainbow Dash reminded of those typical characters who try to be cool and are in love with themselves so much... Her rivalry with Applejack made it even more annoying. Rarity reminded me of those flirty characters... And Twilight was just annoyed most of the time, which made me annoyed too. They often had arguments or fights and these parts simply weren't enjoyable, but I kept watching for Pinkie and Fluttershy.

But my feelings changed in the course of season 1 and improved more and more in the upcoming seasons. I realized that there is more to the show and characters. They don't only act in one certain way (trope). I was really super positive surprised! And that's why I fell in love with all the characters. I think it happened towards the end of season 1. It's actually hard (or impossible) for me to pick even 1 favorite, because I love them all so much.
