Have you learned anything from My Little Pony?

[Heavenly Inexplicit 310]

If so, what did you learn? Are you able to relate to a certain character?

Which episode(s) resonate with you?

 

I've learned from Flutter Brutter, that everything starts with just one step.

A very good thing for me to know! I found the song at the end to be very

motivating.

Probably not. You can't always apply lessons from fiction to reality. The lessons of friendship seem to be common sense for anyone who doesn't have bad morals. They're simple enough for the target audience to understand. I doubt older fans can actually learn friendship lessons from the show

Yes, I suppose so. I'm gonna have to edit my question a bit.

no not really. I learn from real life experiences

Not really. Like stripper said, many of the messages of friendship the show teaches are common sense among adults. And friendship seems to be the only discussion-worthy concept the show stipulates. There is of course, loyalty, honesty, generosity, kindness and laughter, but these all coincide with friendship in MLP. The show doesn't really delve into any other lessons, it always leads back to friendship. Which is understandable and fine, but as a young adult, these lessons aren't really insightful or interesting; it's shit I already know.

Nah, it's just basic friendship knowledge that you can obtain from watching the show, doesn't really go much further than that, for me personally atleast.

[They call me Loyalty 1,955]

Mlp brought me back from emotional numbness quite a few times, actually.

Sometimes I forget about the meaning of life. The good things.

That's as good as it gets, when it comes to lessons for me.

I won't forget.

Dealing with fandoms can be both enjoyable and really really really really annoying.

[KatonRyu 1,036]

Nothing big, I think. Maybe some more appreciation for small things in life.

That episode helped me, too.

 

I found myself becoming angrier and angrier as the show progressed; I eventually realized that I was getting frustrated because Zephyr Breeze reminded me of myself (much more than I'd like to admit).

 

I don't consider myself a deadbeat, but "Flutter Brutter" gave me a much needed kick to the flank.

I had kind of been using my depression as an excuse to be selfish.

 

Personally, I think that episode was geared more towards adult fans than it was kids.

If there's anything this show has taught me, it has been how to see the good in the world again. Basically the same thing that @They call me Loyalty mentioned.

[Techno Universal 2,575]

The show apparently revealed A completely new way of thinking for me. I now see the world as a slowly Crumbling apart place that needs fixing. Maby if the characters from MLP where created it could make us into a almost perfect society.

[Corgis 574]

Lets see:

 

-Don't mess with Purple Unicorns 

-Rainbow lasers trump everything

 

That's about it.

[Luminance 2,187]

I'm not sure if I learned anything new personally but one thing I know for sure is that the show can changed people's lives for the better. In that regard, I'm grateful that this show had affected others in a positive note.

[Dreambiscuit 11,430]

I learned that good writing and quality programming wasn't dead after all. 

 

But more in the spirit of the question asked, I would definitely say the show has given me things to care about and helped me to remember there is hope and art and beauty in the world. That's extremely important. 

[Derplight Sperkle 1,017]

The major thing I learned from the show is don't judge a book by it's cover. This show is so much better than any initial reactions you would get from the title. Most people see the title and think, Wow this show is childish, girly and probably going to be boring for anyone over the age of 8.

 

I can never now think something is bad unless I personally watch or read it.

After "To Where And Back Again":

 

 

I've learned that I want a Kryptonite chair just like that one.

To be honest, the show HAS made me change in more ways than one for the better. It also helped me appreciate more the little things in life and not take them for granted. In the friendship topic, I pretty much knew all about it since its common sense but when it comes to life lessons then yep, I have definitely learned something from it. 

[GrimGrimoire 4,973]

Thinking on it, the show itself has not "taught" me anything... but it has led me to rethink certain things in my life and re-evaluate my attitude and opinions in several situations. Although in general the messages and "lessons" delivered within the show are common sense and pretty much ideas taught early in life, it is amazing how easily forgettable, lost and just plain abandoned many of those ideals are. I may have learned most of those things at an early age, but in this ever increasing self-centered world I have not found myself applying them as much as i could be or would like to.

[Trixie the Great 71]

Yes, I feel like I learn something with every episode. Or rather, I remeber things that I've already learnt in the past (but have forgotten in time).

 

Also, this show taught me to see the good in everyone.

[ashi 261]

Does finding out that I can be attracted to anything, as long as it's intelligent, count?

Also, that it isn't wrong to ask for help when your insecurities get the best of you, as long as you're asking for help to become a better person (or pony, whatever), and not demanding that someone put up with your bad habits.
