My Favourite Mane 6 Pony: Twilight Sparkle

How did you find MLP Forums?: Google

How you became a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: Very long story."Let me 'splain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up."My brother-in-law is a Brony. We hit it off when he was still dating my sister, because of a few shared interests, and he was an overall decent guy. This is my little sister. At the time, I really thought that the Brony fandom was intriguing. I tried watching a few episodes, and didn't get it. No big deal. That little experiment hooked my two tween daughters though. About a month ago (a few years from my first attempt to analyze the show), I agreed to watch a few episodes again, this time handpicked by my now teenage daughters. What started out as smile-worthy territory, ended up perfectly hooked. My mind was blown when I saw the Season 2 finale. It wasn't the epic nature, the foreshadowing, real conflict, or the higher stakes. Those were part of it. The songs got to me. Ok, Epic Operatic Aria is epic ... but it was BBBFF that got to me. Also, I heard Love is in Bloom and my mouth dropped. That was my sister's wedding song. I had no idea. I felt like I was just let in to a personal secret, and at once realized that MLP had become one of the best Rorschach devices for fan investment. Oh, and the next day I found myself humming The Art of the Dress. This is actually a longer and more interesting story, but Mr. Montoya will strike me dead if I erect a Wall of Text.

Just a generic, boring profile pic. I can't kill that, it would have no purpose. Aww, I can't Nyx a solar system.

 

Anyways, welcome to MLP Forums. Prepare yourself...
