Hi hi~

This is honestly a huge step for me, coming here- but I'm ready to join the community so let me tell you a bit about myself! I'm a 22 year old female who recently got a degree in graphic design with minors in illustration and fine art (I'm definitely eying up those creative boards already!), and I've secretly followed MLP:FiM since season one.

I was in high school when it started up and although I loved it, I didn't have any outlet for it- the only examples I had of what "bronies" were was not good at all and I was scared to be associated with it.

It's taken me years to finally come to this point of being able to accept and come to realize that the bad example I was shown was in fact the distasteful minority and that this is a group of wonderful people that I want SO BADLY to be a part of!! So I designed my ponysona and trotted on over~ I hope to make lots of friends that I can share this love with, I'm overjoyed to be here and can't wait to meet all of you!

   ...Creative boards? Huh... do let me know what & how that works out, since yours isn't too far a reason from why I joined as well. I wanted to work on my own creativity & see what the fandom was all about. Which... has been somewhat slow going on my part, as I'm not the quickest match in the toolshed from time to time!

  But aye, fandoms are just some collective name for people. One can't really put them all to the same descriptive terms as they tend to cover likely literally thousands of examples. Though think the "brony" fandom can catch alot of flak often. Specially since it seemed for a while to be some joke to say we're just the absolute worst. Like, oh, some CollegeHumor skit I caught wind of on the YouTubes. But humor can be unintentionally hurtful sometimes. As I say, its best not to base your views entirely on what you've heard others do or say. Can't ever fully know how dense the wall is until you headbutt it, eh what?

  Course, I'm saying this as exactly that sort of shut-in & nerd, heh. Though you won't catch me ruining my collectable figurines by coating them in cheeto dust!

   For one, I don't even like Cheetos! I'm more of a powdered donut man, myself!!

 

  So welcome to your first day on the forums! Hope you have fun here!

 

 

   P.S. Don't you dare look up that CollegeHumor brony vid! Don't! When those people miss the mark, they miss it by alot! So hurtful it was scary, and I scare more easily then I get offended!

Welcome to the Herd, @@WhirlyPop!

I'm always glad to see new pony around, specially creative one. ^-^

Are you publishing your artworks anywhere?

 

Your ponysona looks really nice ^~^ Hope to see her more in future.

@,  Thanks so much, I'm glad you like her~! And thank you for the warm welcome.

 

I actually just created a new DA today to start posting my pony art- There's not much there as of yet but there will be as soon as I'm feeling well enough to start drawing some more~ The username is WhirlyPopPony if you decide to look for it at some point.
