Ember Gleam 167 December 13, 2012 Share December 13, 2012 (edited) Just curios bout this, I am 30 years old but am a major brony. Just wanted to know if anyone else my age group or older is also a fan of the show. I originaly started watching the show becuase my niece and nephew both enjoyed it, however i have found that the show somehow takes the edge of my PTSD (fought in Iraq, and Afghanistan). It helps me to focus on the happy moments in life, and blot out the darkness in my past. So just wanted to know if I was one of the one few bronies of my age group or if there are others =) Edited December 13, 2012 by Ember Gleam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainbowLuvsU 22 December 13, 2012 Share December 13, 2012 Sadly, I'm not in this group (literally half your age, and would probably die immediately if put on the front line) but I'm certain that there is quite a large number of, shall we say, elder bronies. Hey, everybody loves ponies! It's just a matter of time before you find at least one around. The fact that MLP helps with your PTSD is quite interesting. I've never heard of something like this before, and I think that it's quite inspirational. Pony on! -Insert awesome here- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angels_gal 204 December 13, 2012 Share December 13, 2012 I am unfortunately in this age group. I wish i weren't but I am. I am glad that there are others my age here, I was beginning to think I was alone here. Pixel Art made by the talented Bruno! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chigens and Kay 3,832 December 13, 2012 Share December 13, 2012 This thread appears to be related to the My Little Pony franchise and/or the Bronydom in general. Thus, it has been sentenced to Sugarcube Corner. This is an automatically generated message, by the way. My signature broke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decoherence 183 December 13, 2012 Share December 13, 2012 30 isn't old, dammit!!!! i turn 31 in a couple of weeks. I started watching because of all the noise on 4chan. I figured there had to be something to it and by golly I was right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standard User 2,127 December 13, 2012 Share December 13, 2012 I'm in the teenage group, but I like to think that on a certain maturity level (that expresses itself once in a blue Luna-moon) I am more akin to someone of an older age. And I've seen lots of 20+ years old bronies here and on other sites. You just gotta coax them out...for some reason, most of them seem very quiet to me. oOo RIP Forums Writing Centre ;_; oOo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SagasaPony 122 December 13, 2012 Share December 13, 2012 And I've seen lots of 20+ years old bronies here and on other sites. You just gotta coax them out...for some reason, most of them seem very quiet to me. Starting philosophical threads or ones that provoke heavy discussion seem to bring them all crawling out of the woodwork. I'm 22 years old as well, and I like the show as a method of taking my mind off more serious things in life. After all, we all have the right to be silly now and again no matter how old we become. "The wisest people are always smiling. This is because they've realized that life is one big joke, and they've figured out the punchline." "When you've decided to do something, either do it with style, or don't do it at all." "Every atom in our bodies was forged within the fiery heart of a dying star. We are all connected to each other and the universe." "Before I was born, I was dead for billions of years and it hasn't inconvenienced me one bit."

"Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adults themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence...When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." - C.S. Lewis Love this quote. It becomes my excuse for why I watch ponies when my friends antagonize me about it. 1 oOo RIP Forums Writing Centre ;_; oOo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanks 10,816 December 13, 2012 Share December 13, 2012 I am turning 27 next month so I am not 30 yet but am getting close, I haven't been through something as traumatic as war thank God but have still been through a few tough times. I am going through some mild depression and quite a bit of anger and resentment at the way my life has turned out right now and MLP is helping a little. 2 Rarity Get's Cockroaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine him writing for the show... There'd be a wardrobe that leads to this magical land... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
