What made you stay in MLP fandom?

I know it sounds cheesy but out of all the fandoms this one is the most welcoming.

Also I joined at a very low point in my life, and the amount of creativity within the fandom blew me away.

Well, I got introduced to G4 when I was browsing youtube for My Little Pony footage because I was planning to do a parody of G1.  Then I saw a clip of Twilight, drawn in Flash, introducing herself to Fluttershy.  D'awwwwww!

I stayed for the great worldbuilding; the first episode's narrative of princesses and monsters 1000 years ago really grabbed my attention!  Plus, honestly, the first two episodes bordered on self-parody:  Twilight went from character to character, only seeing quirkiness and unwanted emotional connections---like you'd expect a newcomer to the My Little Pony franchise to see.  But then Twilight ended up seeing past all that and actually being friends with them, just like we, the audience did.

The first two episodes REALLY do a good job pulling you in, and the humor and worldbuilding and especially the characters kept me coming back!

The creative and clever OCs have kept me interested in the fandom aspect of MLP. They’re the most fun OCs to create and the most fun to read about.

Pencil Pouch is the best!

Also this forum :lookup:

 

FIM holds a very strong place in my heart, especially because it kept being animated in Flash even after Flash was declared dead (to be killed off).

I feel like most of the show is legacy until some smart people return to the fandom with a mission to bring back Flash and its animation style. That’s why I keep staying, because I know there are smart people, they just need to remember their love of FIM.

Pony art and music, new and old fan songs I just love to listen too and there is still so much incredible fan art being made,
There are also the tracks from the show itself, even for the few years I was away from the forum and fandom I still listened to MLP music from time to time and had tons of pony art to see on Deviant art and Twitter.
