MLP is the one of the few things that gets such emotional response from me, even shedding a few tears at a few things along the way, at certain points in the episodes and even just in awe at certain fan contributions.
might be why I like it so much
On September 27 2011 18:17 Squarewalker wrote: Excellent write-up Gary, and I can also really relate to that part of it that Zoundsforsook quoted. Due to many various reasons, during most of my teenage years I either felt fear and/or anger, or just nothing at all. In situations where others would cry, I simply couldn't, despite wanting to and trying to even force myself to. Whenever I'd come across the question "what was the happiest moment of your life?", I had a hard time to think of anything.
This show changed all that.
Also apparently Jayson Thiessen claims he started to choke himself when reading some of the more emotional stories the writers had come up with for some episodes in season 2, so I can't wait to see what they'll have in store for us.
Thank you. <3 I think a lot of it is the super-high level of empathy you develop for each of the characters the more you watch the show. A few years down the road this show could easily be used as a psychology topic about the power of deep empathy. After my brain deadened my emotions, which is a weird feeling, because you feel emotions, both good and bad, building up, but you never feel the climax of them. Strange, strange stuff. Empathy is honestly the only thing that's historically gotten to me. I guess because I'm so attached to the characters/situations, they feel the emotions for me, which tricks my subconsciousness into feeling real emotion for a change. Maybe one day I'll overcome this and be more in touch with my emotions at the end of the day. Being unable to experience them correctly sucks, because when you're in a highly emotional situation, you just kind of sit there in a daze, not knowing what to do.
I also read what JT said about season 2 and I must say I'm really excited. Perhaps an episode will dethrone Sonic Rainboom in the manly tears (or in my case, the damn-near-but-not-quite manly tears) department?

So, my friend is getting harassed for liking MLP, with stuff like "lol u so gay" etc.
And I had to help him. What better comebacks than epic brony comebacks, right?
- You don't like what I like, but I still tolerate you! - At least I have the BALLS to like something uncommon! - It's about friendship, you wouldn't understand. - Ohmygosh the fact that I like a cartoon automatically determines my sexual option, and that actually makes any difference of someone's life! - Before you talk, at least watch it to have an opinion.

Your loss!
edit: or better yet, just talk to your friend about how awesome MLP is in a place where he can see/hear you and disregard his comments.

Simply ask why its gay? Then when they start talking walk away...the comebacks you listed aren't very good and are unnecessarily argumentative. Ignore or inquire.
I got a request. Some of you might know me as a caster for SC2. No I love my pony pictures as welcome or waiting screens or even some to start or end a cast or just to describe a certain situation in between games.
So I have a request! Can you help me gather ideas on which pictures/wallpapers to take and even have a nice saying which fits an good example is Rainbow Dash on the cloud here as a description that I am afk for a couple of seconds/minutes.
any suggestions or help would be appreciated

In my classical greek mythology class we were asked to make a small writeup of a modern day occurance that borrowed from Greek Mythology. I chose MLP. Here's what I wrote
In My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic there are many characters and concepts that are modeled after Greek myths. In Episode 1 we are introduced to the Pegasus Ponies known as Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. They are of course modeled after Pegasus from the Greek myth following Perseus. Unlike the Greek myth of old, there are many Pegasus ponies in the show's land known as Equestria.
In Episode 15, the characters run across a rather troublesome Hyrda. This is modeled after the Lerneaen Hydra that Heracles defeated in one of his 12 labors. In MLP: Fim, the Hydra only has 4 heads as opposed to the 7 heads that the hydra in the tale of Heracles is supposed to have.
In episode 16 one of the Pegasus Ponies, Rainbow Dash is practicing for a flying competition. Her friends wish to cheer her on, but the competition takes place in Cloudsdale, which is up in the sky. Since her friends Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie and Rarity are Earth Ponies, they do not posses wings. In order to cheer on their friend Twilight Sparkle researches a spell in order to allow them to fly up to Cloudsdale. The pony Rarity is first to volunteer and ends up receiving a pair of gorgeous wings. She is very happy with her wings and while Twilight warns her that her wings are fragile and made from morning dew, she tells Twilight not too worry that her wings won't be damaged by too much attention. On the day of the competition, Rarity flies up to the sky to better show off her beautiful wings and the sun's rays end up melting her wings causing her to fall. This story models after the Greek myth of Icarus and Daedalus. This father and son duo must escape from a vengeful king and do so by building 2 pairs of wings for each of them. Icarus (the son) gets too excited with the wings and ignores his fathers warning about flying too close to the sun. When he flies too close to the sun, the wax in his wings melt and he ends up falling to his death.
In Season 2's first two episode, we are introduced to the new character Discord. Discord is a Chimera and somewhat of a demigod and wants to bring chaos to all of Equestria. Discord is modeled both after Chimera that Bellaphron and Pegasus defeated as well as Eris the goddess of Discord and Chaos.
Here is episode 16 of MLP: FiM as a reference: It is also regarded by many as the best episode of the entire series. All of the episodes are available on youtube.

Still looks pretty good, I will post more if I find anything suitable though im not certain of what situations you will need pictures for :p
@lagmaster Thats a nice writeup, though I think Discord is referred to as a Draconis not a Chimera, though if theres any difference between them I dont know my mythology is not my strong point!
Alright, random fanfic time! http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/09/story-drop-of-moonshine.html A Drop of Moonshine After a long day of ruling Equestria, the Royal Sisters need a chance to unwind. Luna's solution is a few glasses of her once famous Moonshine, a drink distilled from moonlight. Celestia has been sober for a thousand years, but the temptation to have "just one" glass proves too great. Yet, when that one glass turns into several, it's Twilight who will have to deal with the princesses when they’re drunk off their flanks.
Author: Pen Stroke! Yup, from the creator of "Past Sins" himself!
Honestly, I haven't laughed so hard since... Saturday actually, during the MLP episode. Still, the story is hilarious and is a nice quick one-shot read. Also, drunk Princess is best Princess. And be prepared for some hilarious stuff at the end!

watching a show with 6 female main characters definitely implies you're gay ( this is sarcastic)
