Are you more interested in the ponies than the actual show?

[DivineMist1000 71,102]

I’ll be honest, I don’t watch the show that much, but I definitely loves the pretty ponies. I’d rather look at awesome fan art, be on the forums, and talk with other people about ponies!

I actually love Celestia and Luna more than the show!

[Partialgeek514 4,920]

I'm kind of into both! I used to watch and rewatch the show a lot more, but now I spend more time looking at fandom stuff. I just love ponies! 

[Octavia Heartstrings 28,407]

I actually kind of feel the same way. I mean, the show is great, and I've watched pretty much every episode and all of Equestria Girls, but what I'm most into is certain characters and art of them, especially Fluttershy!

I’ve actually never seen any Equestria Girls episodes!

You totally should! The first movie isn't too good, but everything else is fantastic!

[The Recherche 29,965]

In retrospect... I would say so, yes. I have still yet to complete Season One, though I have admittedly increased my pace a smidgen. Be that as it may... there is something about Rarity that I absolutely adore, more so than the animated series itself. Ever since I was young, I have always admired elegance and class... and Rarity is this to her very core. I enjoy the Friendship is Magic series, yes, but I find the characters more intriguing than the show itself... somehow.

I don’t know! It’s just weird seeing the ponies as humans!

You'll get used to it! I actually love the EQG character designs, they're so beautiful!

Well going off your profile pic, human Fluttershy looks pretty at least 

[Flutterstep 46,288]

The fact I still go on this forum despite not having watched the show in years just shows how interested I am in the characters. I love the art, style and overall fandom.

She most certainly does! And so do almost all the Equestria Girls, though Fluttershy is definitely the prettiest in my opinion! 

[Mellow Mane 5,930]

These days I am. I totally love the show and I have seen all of the episodes but nowadays I'm more into ponies and other characters themselves. Ponies are just so adorable

[PacificGreen 1,163]

Well, the ponies do make up the show. It's kinda hard for one to exist without the other.

But based on your first post, I guess I do. Basically, no matter how good or bad an episode turns out, I think I'll always like seeing the characters in some form or another, whether in official or fan material.

I guess it's kinda gotten to the point that I look forward to seeing one of my favorite ponies return to the show than I am interested in actually watching the plot of each episode unfold. XD

[Midnight Solace 5,129]

I love the ponies more than the show sometimes. I mean, the idea with Twilight opening a school of friendship is just... Not really a good idea. I like the older seasons more.

[Dashy 4 Ever 4,832]

When you got this little angel, of course I'm more interested in her!

[cuteycindyhoney 13,283]

The series is the venue I appreciate the ponies in the most. I can see them move think and react. This will sound strange, but I have seen enough animation now, that they have achieved some level of 'life' in my mind. Part of me knows that in some corner of infinite levels of space/time/dimensions. Equestria exists.   Perhaps it is not far, cosmically speaking, from the safely hidden Gallifrey. The doctor too, is real in the deepest reaches of my imagination. Perhaps again, Lazarus Long will find a way to locate each. 

I KNOW Woodrow Wilson Smith is real!  It stands to reason the others are too!

 

WORLD AS MYTH!

I’m somewhat into both. Sometimes, I feel more attracted towards the ponies and their cuteness (even when they look at me), but on some ocasions I would like to spend my time to enjoy more out of the show and learn relatable lessons!

[Arkadios 91]

It’s always nice to see Rarity get the spotlight, but it kinda shifts between story and characters for me.

Usually, when I first watch an episode or a movie, I focus on the story. Then the characters thereafter.

[Phosphor 11,522]

I'd call it a draw. I love the show and fan animations. Both got me into this fandom. 

Agrol Channel, please don't stop making pony animations  

[Lord Midnight Madness 1,542]

I enjoy both I mean without the show we wouldn't have the ponies though. I think the fan creations that elaborate on the ponies and give some of the characters more life are excellent. So I'd have to say I like both.

[MangoFoalix 24,898]

I barely ever watch the show anymore. I have too many hobbies nowadays that those just take up my time now along with schooling.

I am more of a fan of the fandom.

[LeafFerret 3,382]

Yeah, I'm interested to see what the main ponies do when there isn't an episode on like right now, like if they do the same stuff away from the camera or if they're on vacation or something like that.

[TBD 17,228]

i like them both, you can't have one or other by itself. 

[Dreambiscuit 8,024]

The ponies and the show are not mutually exclusive in my mind. They're all interwoven and integral to each other. I like to experience the ponies via the show; that's my favorite way. I do enjoy playing around on the forums and stuff, but that's more of a peripheral bonus to the world of Equestria itself. 

[Misty Shadow 7,084]

Honestly, I can say that I am. The show will always have a special place in my heart and I will always continue to watch it so long as the quality of it remains good,  but I have an even more special place in my heart for the ponies themselves. The show will eventually end, but the impact it's had on the people who have made so much great pony-related content inspired by it will last forever.
