I realized that if you add your own electronic sounding beat to any of the show's songs, it sounds awesome. Especially Winter Wrap-up and Pinkie's No Fear song.

not sure what the fascination is with it, but I discovered it was on netflix now. My 5 year old daughter loves it though. Of course she has a whole basket full of MLP stuff already...

Well if you had to give a brief explanation of why so many people like it, I'd say it's cause so many different groups can find something they like in the show and if you don't like one thing about the show there's other characters and episodes for you to enjoy and with such a large cast there's in it for almost everybody.

I like how it's reminiscent of 1990/early 2000's style cartoons in story telling and such. It also isn't all moody and depressing. Sure there's sad parts of the show, but there's plenty of happy moments too. Also that it's slice of life and how at most the longest story arc is 2 episodes. So far all the two part episodes have been good.

When it comes to people asking what the fascination about it is the best thing is try watching a couple episodes and chances are you'll enjoy at least one of them. The general rule of thumb is try watching about five episodes, the reason being is even if you don't like the show you'll be able to understand why we like it.

Tl:dr; If you don't understand why it's so popular your best bet is to watch like five episodes and even if you don't like the show chances are you'll understand why it's such a phenom.

There's actually a theory out there that the changelings are actually the flutterponies and they were corrupted by the destruction of fluttervalley in the older generation.

If you don't know what I mean by that, think of it like how discord discorded the mane6, except with a entire species and no happy ending.

Personally I just think there's more sapient species in their world than we think and as well as mythical creatures.

If you have stuff with vocals in them, I'd like to listen.

No, I can't sing so I don't have vocals in my songs.
I'm doing a collab with Tarby though. He's an awesome brony musician with a good voice. I also just finished a song with Bronyfied, but yeah, no vocals in that one either.

On another note, I went to the Calgary Comic Expo today and sat in on the brony panel. Tara Strong said that bronies are going to freak out at and upcoming episode in season 3, so I'm interested in what that's going to be. John de Lancie also confirmed that he's going to be in another episode for season 3.

Here's hoping for octavia and vinyl scratch. No matter what though I know they won't disappoint. So regardless I'm okay with whatever it is.

Re: What is with all of this "My little pony" stuff? (The unofficial official MLP Thr

I'm definitely not keeping up on MLP fan-stuff, so what's all this about Octavia/Vinyl Scratch?
Is it like Derpy, where fans gave a certain background character it's own story?

I'm also still ragin' on how Luna was absent for nearly all of season 2, save for the curtain call.

Is... that some sort of popular phrase or something?
Seriously, I think my sister came back from her friend's house and used those exact same words. Maybe.
Creepy stuff, made me jump.

Basically. It's not only Derpy, nearly every background pony got this treatment by the fandom. Precisely because of this, some are more beloved among fans than the mane six and Spike themselves.
Tv Tropes puts this adequately: "The other mane six", which could be Derpy, Doctor Whooves, Lyra, Bon Bon, Vinyl Scratch and Octavia, probably the most popular background ponies among fans. I swear this is the only fandom that bothers with this.

Bloody hell, why does this fandom bring the creative in so many people?! I don't get it! In my years of life, I've never seen a fandom with a clear interest that puts so much effort in feeding itself and creating its own "canon", so much that it even influentiates the creators. What is this sorcery?!

Eh, I have to disagree. Other fandoms when they were at their prime the talented media that was being put out was because people thought, "I'll go pro and become the most popular artist ever with the most pageviews and then I'll get shit tons of money". I'm not saying every person was like that during like when anime peaked or other fandoms, but enough that it was more about trying to get rich quick rather than the actual art or such.

What I mean by that is often in the past when other fandoms had peaked sure they had a ton of content being pumped out, but that was because people were whoring themselves out(metaphorically) rather than actually putting any soul into it.

We developed a emotional bond with the characters even though they don't exist and found a balance between fanon and canon. What I mean by that can be demonstrated by "my little dashie" if people didn't care about dash even though she doesn't exist then it wouldn't have been nearly as so sad to people.

Well technically Luna got more air time than Celestia cause of luna eclipsed.

I usually look at more stuff on FAF than the pony thread. Not in the past 2-3 weeks, though. Don't worry, if our problem is cute ponies, then it's probably a problem we can live with.

Garrus is probably all about the Rainbow Dash.
