staff Astral Soul: Down the rabbit hole

When I first met Astral Soul, he was a very shy, polite and courteous person. Very helpful, wholesome and warm. An absolutely lovely contribution to the forums. I remember when there was a conflict, and because of how timid and shy he was.. I was certain he'd be broken over it. I approached him to resolve the issue and he stood proudly and firmly with dignity as he managed the issue with calm resolve. This astounded me. Because it made me realize "this gentleman is soft... but he is not weak. He is a man of principle. Dignity and a relaxed respect. He is gentle because he chooses to be and not because he is defenseless and incapable of being otherwise." In other words, he's got the spirit of Fluttershy. Be her friend. But don't make her angry -- cause she can tame even a dragon if you mess with her friends!

Over time, this individual has proven to be playful and silly, as well! Much to my delight. You will be able to see this over time as well if you engage enough with this lovely orb. (oh no, not those pesky ponder the orb memes -- that's soooo 2020) 

With that said, @Astral Soulbecause you've been of such an amazing support. This is the role in which I am honored to bring you in. With the color to match the mane of the pony whose spirit you resemble.

So come, follow me, in the year of the Rabbit -- down the rabbit hole! Let us help to improve and build this beautiful community together. With how the site shall be expanding and growing with much background work, we will need more support. And you're just the Fluttershy for the job! @Rikifive always says it shall be the pink team of making tea and I'm here for it!

So much love and appreciation here, it's hard to find a place to start ♥

 

Dear @Princess Silky you have found the perfect title for this. I'm almost a little scared of how close you described my journey through this fandom by this title. 

I stumbled by accident over some of Tridashie clips on youtube  in December 2020, fall upon parts of reaction to the Filly Vanilly episode and learned about Fluttershy, started to watch the show like crazy in just a couple of weeks. Thanks to a episode when I saw the passion and love of FiM fans .. Ive got so curious that I had to explore this fandom and community and found this place. Since I've joined this community two years ago, Ive learned of so much wonderful art and people and daily I discover new wonders and miracles in this fandom. Similär to Alice in Wonderland, I'm Astral in Ponyland. You really nailed it.

After all this time I'm still in resonance with the shows and I love and adore it and its fandom. At the same time this experience have changed me in a good way. When I arrived I was even to shy to give hug reactions to people .. today it's a bit different :3 I have changed due to the community and I'm a part of it. 

This place has become my home over time. I will do my best to make sure that it will also become and stay the home of many more people, so that we can have a good time and can grow together.

I'm deeply touched by all the trust people put in me.
