My First MLP Forum

[Benna 21]

 

Hello all,

 

So this is my first MLP forum and I'm kind of unsure how to do this so
forgive me if I don't follow the conventional way of doing things because of my
newbieness. Ok so I am a 24 year old male living in Riverside California.
I love surfing, playing guitar, and all kinds of video games from 3DS to Xbox
360 and everything in between. I'm currently attending La Sierra University at
the graduate level majoring in Theological Studies. I plan to become a Navy Chaplin
after my schooling is finished in around two years from now.

 

I found the show through the game Team Fortress 2 by viewing wall sprays
that people would spam. My curiosity was instantly peaked as the art style
captured my heart. Considering all I knew about the show was what it looked
like from a spray in Team Fortress 2 its amazing that I sought out the show
(for those of you who don't play the game porn sprays are pretty common and yes
there were some of those for MLP that I was forced to view). The show reminded
my of my childhood favorite the Powerpuff Girls so I typed my little pony into Google
and began reading the wiki page. To my surprise I found that the creator of MLP
worked on the Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. So I
said to myself "Self you should give this show a shot." And so I did.
Admittedly I did not love the show out of the gate. I started watching about
two weeks out from the premier of season 2 of MLP. The first two episodes were
a shock to the system. I was expecting a little girls show but because of the
large male following of the show as well as Faust being a part of it I expected
something more along the lines of the Powerpuff Girls. Truthfully I almost
stopped watching ten minutes into the first episode but thankfully I pressed
on. By episode six I was in love with the show as the characters began to
develop and I have watched the show ever since loving every minute. What draws
me into the show is the humor that has made me smile as well as outright laugh.
But the characters are what makes the show for me. My favorite is Pinkie Pie
because I feel very akin to her random behavior and love of laughter. I believe
that everyone should live their lives the way Pinkie lives hers.

 

Even though I have watched the show for a long time I have never really
signed on to forums or discussed episodes with fans. This is because I was
hesitant about being a fan and honestly kind of embarrassed about it in
general. Unfortunately I don't know anyone in real life who loves the show as
much as me. They know of it but really don’t watch the episodes or are able to intelligently
talk about them. So I kind of stayed quite about my love of the show until about
three months ago. I finally told my brother about liking the show and that he
should check it out. He outright refused and called me queer (don’t take
offence we joke like that). So I didn’t push the issue and began talking about
the show with my sister who grew up with previous generations. She was
skeptical but opened up after seeing the show and loves the ponies now albeit
she doesn’t really watch the show (bandwagon). So she bought me a shirt that I
love with ponies on it (pony in my pocket from we love fine if you know it) and
I guess I kind of came out to my parents. My dad refuses to talk about it and
my mom says its cool but I doubt she even understands what she is saying. After
this I went on to buy a pass to Equestria LA (if anyone is going I would love
to meet up with people so I wont be alone wandering O.O) and make an account
here on this site. I am tired of being out of the loop of the bronies. I want
to talk about MLP with fans. I want to write a fan fic (good or not). I want to
make music (again good or not). I want to be a part of the conversation in
general because I love the show and the people who love it seem pretty awesome.

 

So that went on longer than I expected but I guess it was pretty nice to get
though out of the system. So you guys know my experience now and how I came to
this website. I look forward to talking with all of you and hope that I can add
something to the conversation that is My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic.

Lengthy introduction! You sure had a lot of stuff to talk about and I appreciate that you were very open.

 

Welcome to the forums!

 

Honestly, I hate going on forums usually. I never make accounts but this one time, I just considered doing that for MLP and I never regret a thing. Stay here for as long as you want. It is an awesome place to hang out and meet up with people online then meet up IRL. It really depends for you.

 

Enjoy your stay and welcome!

 

If you want a chat, just shoot me a message. I will answer any message rolling towards me. :3
