If you told your past self you would like My Little Pony, how would they react?

[Makazi 317]

"Haha, seriously? But I hate that show with every bone in my body," I say, my disposition becoming more irascible by the moment. "Why, I even took a personal vow never to jump on the bandwagon!"

 

"Veritable as that may be," future me argues, "you cannot deny that you are partial to children's cartoons. Take Lion King, for example."

 

"But...but this is My Little Pony we're talking about! The style looks so stupid and the colours are so garish that it's practically blinding to look upon, and besides, it's a show for little girls. Not to mention that it's everywhere and subsequently incredibly annoying!"

 

"Do you ever think that perhaps it's everywhere because it's just that good?" future me says with a smile, sliding his hand into the breast of his overcoat.

 

I blanch, looking at future me with increasing worry. "What are you doing? Look, I'm sorry. It's just not my cup of tea, all right?" I plead, practically falling to my knees. "I don't like the show; just don't go pulling a weapon on me because of it."

 

With one deft motion, future me pulls out a DVD of the first season, depositing it into my trembling hand. "Give it a chance," he says as he dons his hat, quietly slipping out of my bedroom window and taking off into the night. Uncertainty lacing my heart, I insert the DVD into my computer, not knowing the depths of what I'm getting myself into...

I guess that would depend on how old my past self was that I was telling this to. If it was say, 10 year-old me, I probably would have said, "Ew, yuck, girl stuff! What's wrong with you?" If it was say, my 18 year old self, I probably wouldn't have a problem with it.

 

I actually do remember watching G1 with my sisters way back when, and I know I didn't hate it. So maybe I wouldn't react too badly.

 

If anything, I would have been more intrigued that my future self was having a conversation with me.

-Dramatic anime gasp-

 

Really?!

 

-Sorry, Gengar. I'll be back later.-

[3k932jd22328jdsf 113]

I would literally react by ROFL and say thats not going to happen. I used to think less of guys for watching mlp fim and was borderline antibrony. I used to make fun of one of my friends for being a brony before they got me to watch one episode and later that same day I was on season 2 and I thought to myself crap I think I'm a brony and eventually I just came to accept it.

[Tesla 167]

I would have thrown my hands up as laughed in snorty derision

[Foxy Socks 2,599]

My reaction would depend on when I would be told. If it was before I heard about the current FiM show and bronies, I would be very surprised, thinking it would be girly and stupid. If I had been told after I found out about the show and bronies, I would probably still be surprised, but I would be more open minded.

 

Though I think my past self would be more confused how my future self got there.

[Ed Lyons 105]

I watched a clip of secret of my excess in about 2012/13 when I slammed the lid on my laptop because I was loving it. Before, I hated it. Even after, I didn't watch it for years until recently. I probably would have questioned my entire library of things I like or don't like if I knew I would be watching it nonstop for hours on end and saying this right now on an MLP forum site.

[L1ghtn1ng_Flash 213]

It realy depends on if its just a message that I send or i do it in person, if I do it in person then I'd believe it right away and ask about it. If its a letter or email, I would throw away the message after I'm done reading it half way through and then instantly write it off as a prank or joke.

[NullAccount 287]

He would start by laughing at me. He would then ask if I was gay (younger me was very homophobic, luckily I am not anymore), and finally, he would be disgusted by what he was going to become. Then time would crack because of the huge paradox I created, and the Doctor would sacrifice himself by fly the Pandorica into the exploding time to heal everything.

[Jack Dirt 81]

My past self would probably not care because he would be more concerned with the fact I just created a time paradox and possibly mucked up the entire universe.

[SugarfootWillie 383]

My past self would automatically love MLP!!

 

Not because of the quality of show. . . no. . . that's diving too deep.

 

Former me would've love MLP solely because it is colourful.

 

 

 

 

 

*Former me ate A LOT of LSD and other hallucinogenic substances everyday.

[EverEverOn 346]

I guess it really depends on how old My past self is when I visit her. If I visited myself as a really little girl, my past self would be pretty cool with it. If it was my ten year old self, I'd probably be insulted by my past self.

[ILikeNightmares 163]

He would probably start bullying and laughing in my face because I was a terrible person in high school.

[Ohiobrony 1]

I would have been like... Okay yo get off dat good stuff. I would be avoiding anything pink with horses

[Lonk Chase 255]

I probably would say, "OK, cool..." being the autistic person I am.

[Kings&Hooves14 616]

I doubt my past self would be appalled or even surprised. I've never been your stereotypical male; I like pink, glittery things...I love stuffed animals...as a kid I played house and owned Polly Pocket sets.

[cider float 2,538]

I'd slap myself across the face.

[JeyWiz 1,097]

I'm probably gonna end up like Twilight Spakrle in the "It's About Time" episode.

[PinkiePie97 913]

I'd probably think I was crazy.

[Spanish In Physician 295]

Well. I can answer this....

 

As I looked into the eyes of my past self, he would look back at me with nary a stubble on his chin, gazing at my glorious bearded visage. Saying with a stern and understood tone, I would state to him, "You will like the new My Little Pony show in the distant future young me. You will love it, and it shall be glorious." Staring back at me with a fist raised high to the air, he would call out to the world, "MY LITTLE PONY WILL BE GLORIOUS!" Then I will disappear with a flash of light and the world will know that I am forever a Brony. Throughout the annals of time it shall be recorded as fact. So well known, that nothing could dowse the undying passion for pony within my soul in this life or the next, or even the next.

 

^ That up there is my answer. Good question by the way.

[Somberhoof 156]

A time paradox will occur and I'll get erased from our timeline.

And before the moment it happens, my past self would react: "Kakogo?.." ("What the?..")

Well after I calmed down from realization of the space-time paradox, I probably wouldn't take it too seriously, as past me and present me are really, really sarcastic.

[Telferi 6,906]

He/me (i don't know ) thinks i am an idiot or insane and If i go back, maybe in the edited present, I don't watch MLP at all and i don't know the forums ;( 

[EQ_Theta 459]

My younger self would laugh hysterically, punch me in the face, then laugh again before saying I'm crazy. Younger me doesn't take bizarre things seriously until it actually happens

[Guest]

It wouldn't have surprised me, I loved the g3 figures in my late teens.
