No, this is not a joke/trolling thread. We don't need more filler posts asking if it is. Remember to spoiler season 6 content, and clearly label your spoilers. | ||

There is probably a better fit for Twilight sparkle, but then spike couldn't be losira, which would make me sad. | ||

He knew. "Oh, god damn it no!", he exclaimed, agitated. "Why the fuck do you people watch a fucking kids show about ponies?" And then, the most wonderful thing happened. I had him. I had him, and I knew it. I donned the kind of shit-eating grin I usually acquire when I'm about to be an asshole, and quipped, "Why do you like those Harry Potter kids books so much?" "Harry Fucking Potter wasn't just made for kids!" Raise arms, present hands palms up in a gesture of presentation. A slight pause, then, "I walked right into that one, didn't I?" + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/3C6Gn.gif) + Show Spoiler + I give him props: He knew right away that he'd had a misconception: He thought the show was just a basic kids show, not made with parents or older audiences in mind, that people just liked ironically. He knew what I was getting at, and accepted the possibility without too much incredulity. We ended up talking about old cartoons and animation for 20 minutes. The next day, I find this gem in my inbox, no subject: "i cant stop watching" See. Previous. Image. | ||

Hehe nice story Some folks will never become bronies, or even give the show a shot, alas that it must be so but its just against their nature, and theres little you can do to change that without looking like one of these annoying guys who tries to convert everyone around him. However as we see some folks need only a slight nudge, usually from any opinion that they hold in good esteem and will get over their initial gut reactions and give the show a shot, and more often than not happiness results. | ||

I've totally experienced this, offline and on. If someone generally respects you, and you tell them that you're a big fan of the show, it tends to lend a certain gravitas. Plus, regarding my friends, I know which buttons to press.  For instance, one of my oldest childhood friends is a huge fan of Animaniacs, especially the musical numbers. I told him MLP is nothing if not a huge throwback to classic animation, with great visual gags, timing, and awesome music. Nudge. Sit back. Grab popcorn. | ||

I know most tumblers contain material that most of you would not care about, but this one is 100 percent clean and honestly the best one out there. Unfortunately the artist had school and could not keep up with it. However, today there has been a HUGE update. Going to read. You guys should check it out as well. In case your'e wondering who the artist is, if you've seen the sequence where Twilight considers Spike aging, this is where it came from. EDIT: Started reading. It's all for one story. Follow the first post and don't get confused like me :D. That Epic Meal Time comic was really fun to read, and the moral of the story was so extremely heartwarming. | ||

The epic meal time comic is by far the best I have ever seen, hope it gets colored sometime. I wonder how the guy who asked that question feels about it. | ||

Also, yeah, don`t read it. Watch that, be happy, and you know all you ever needed to know about cupcakes. Also, who wants a MLP season 1 marathon? All of season 1 in one video. 9 hours long. Only in 480p atm, but should be in 1080 at the end of the week. | ||
