That D'AWWW Feeling

[Zero000 435]

Whenever I watch the show and see something that is either cute or just makes me really joyful for a moment, I get this strange but nice feeling.

 

To explain it, my heart feels like it's being squeezed by the cuteness. I can't help but grin or smile at the joy that I am watching, saying to myself "awwww!"

 

I think what gets to me the most is when an episode ends. The happy music plays, the characters are either smiling or laughing, and it gives it that good "Happily Ever After" feeling.

 

 

My thoughts are that it's just a nice feeling of joy that entertainment like this show can give.

What are all your thoughts on this?

Same here

[TomokoKuroki 1,707]

I get that feeling throughout the entire episodes. It uplifts my spirit when I get that feeling too. How can you be mad when Sweetie Belle's voice cracks in mid sentence?

I change be in the worst mood

and suddenly be in a much better mood (: ~

Heh, you should see my epihpany thread.

 

It being cute is what makes it amazing.

A single episode can change my mood dramatically.

It's what it was made for, isn't it?

The episode definitely make me happy...though they make me angry at whoever dares interrupt my episode watching.

Talking about new episodes, tomorrow is a day blessed by god.

[Kyreth 193]

I get that feeling whenever a pony pulls a quizzical face. Especially the crusaders, so adorable!!

...If I had a heart I would feel that way.

[Skar 324]

60% of that feeling is Fluttershy for me. another 20% to Pinkie, and 10% to Twi (She's such a dork :3) and then there's Rarity, AJ, and RD with the last 10%. Don't get me wrong, we're talking about "cute"

[Midnight Page 21]

I agree, Fluttershy and the CMC tie for most of the aww moments for me

Sorry if a few of your hearts blew up.

[Cadence Sparkle 101]

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA TO MANY CUTE PONIES!!!!!

 

but watching the show always puts a smile to my face

[rainbow_dashFTW 1]

There are moments that definitely make me squeeeeee and it's something that I have come to not question.... it makes me giggle with happiness, which I don't even have to be watching an ep to feel, just a memory of an ep will bring it on, and it does make for some interesting moments in my workplace....

[Jeremy 128]

The feeling that makes you NNNG and D'AAW?

There's a word for that I think they call it the

[The Crystal Maiden 221]

oh my gosh me too!!

Just one episode of this show cheers me up after a long day at school. That's why I love it. <3

[Kodiak 431]

I totally know what you mean. The first time I've done an audible "D'AWWWW" was in Lesson Zero when Twilight gave Spike a hug for caring about her well-being. Manly tears were shed.

[NavelColt 22,876]

I fall victim to the feels on this show all the time, and willingly seek out art and have roleplays with friends to obtain more of it. It's like a drug, man. Can't stop. I can't hold all these feels. But I'm okay with it. I'd rather be addicted to cute cuddling ponies than any number of other things I can think of.

 

All in all I think the show's style gives people a reason to enjoy and embrace the innocence and cuteness that the show has, instead of being afraid to. As we all know, boys "aren't supposed" to like cute things in the eyes of our stereotypical society, and I think though stereotypes are for the most part stupid, a lot of people still don't do things they might otherwise do or enjoy, just for fear of being labeled or ostracized. The sheer size of this fanbase has given those kinds of people the ability to fully embrace that softer side to them. I know I'm like that. I bucking love cute things, man.

You don't need drugs to be happy.

 

You don't need to go to a seminar to be happy.

 

My Little Pony has changed me, I used to be grumpy and hostile and now I'm friendly to people around me all the time.

[Dusty Soul 2,611]

Well one episode got me out of my depressive state, so I do know what your getting at. I love that feeling. I actually almost never smile for my own enjoyment and My Little Pony made me so I applaud it for that.

[Tycoon 79]

I believe it's a mental combination of adrenaline and excitement. When RD pulled off the sonic rainboom, I felt it too.

 

I'm honest when I say: I fell off my chair yelling "WOOOOOOOO!" when she did it.
