Hey there

[Allan Murray 3]

My name is Allan and I'm a 26 year old male Brony from Scotland in the United Kingdom of Great Britain.

 

I got into My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic a couple of months back. I had meant to check it out for a long time, I knew it was a huge cult thing and seeing a young chappie with a t-shirt of Rainbow Dash with "Sup Brony?" on it had rather enchanted me. The thing keeping me from finding out about it was that I didn't have the internet. One morning, while heavily intoxicated, as is my want, I checked out the very first episode, The Mare In The Moon.

 

At first I was skeptical, but after Twilight Sparkle had closed the book, I realised that the animation style was more flash-like. Apart from the mega-cuteness of the colourful ponies and the well written plot, I loved the gags in the show and being terribly honest with you all, I do feel that people abandon who they were when they were younger, so watching cartoons is something that people should rediscover. Above all, ponies just make me so darn happy - and I suffer from clinical depression, so ponies are VERY, VERY important to me.

 

I just recently finished watching up to the end of Season 3. Read the first part of Fallout Equestria and have just started buying merch. I have one Rainbow Dash shirt, 5 tins of MLP spaghetti shapes, some kiosk ponies (Twilight Velvet, Magnet Bolt, Crimson Gala/Red Gala and Shoeshine) as well as a proper Pinkie Pie. I also intend to check out earlier Pony.

 

Most people find it pretty odd and yeah, I get some pretty terrible jokes about it being creepy, but it's no more strange than the women who love Spongebob Squarepants. Apart from that, these people point blank refuse to even watch it.

 

Hobbies. Uh, well, I listen to a lot of music. Mainly Post-Punk, New Wave and 80's, but I look forward to getting plenty of Brony stuff.

 

Nice to meet you all.

Hi there Allan!  

 

Welcome to the forums! I'm so jealous that you live in Scotland, I've always wanted to go there!

 

I agree with the part about Spongebob, I actually think most of the time MLP is more mature than Spongebob. You just have to learn to ignore the comments I guess but you probably already know that. 

 

Have fun on the forums, and if you ever need someone to talk to feel free to message me!

Sup, Allan.

 

You know, ponies make me really freaking happy too. Whenever ponies are around, it doesn't matter how depressed I am, I get cheered up! It's awesome to hear that they're helping you tough out your depression as well!

 

*Takes a puff on pipe*

 

Excellent avatar, by the way. You're combating all those hooligans with the big avatars with a small one that can barely be seen!

 

I like it.

happy welcome!

cool story, always great to meet people who give it at try though they have doubts, congrats to that :3. I got hooked with the show and all about summer of last year, right after season 2 finished it seems, I still don´t have much merchandise though (2 shirts, that´s all).

My friends think its mainly funny, not really odd, neither do I, I enjoy the show and the fandom, a lot!

Hope you have a great time here, an awesome amount of cool people to talk to, stuff to discuss, amazing artists of all kinds and lots of more stuff to do.

Everybody is super nice and helpful, if there are ever any problems or questions you can talk to everyone.

welcoem again, enjoy yourself and see ya around ;D
