I may have to buy a defibrillator by the end of season 3 for you.

You could try buying it off their website?
You probably would.
I nearly stopped breathing with those two songs from S3 they showed.

The buying element isn't a problem, I could easily get stuff shipped from the US off welovefine.
The key thing is to explain it to my parents.

It seems that more and more people every day just get obsessed with My little pony and develop into "Bronies".
What is so amazing about My little pony and why are so many people that I suspect are completely out of the target audience range in love with it?

There's really no reason for you to ask this question, because everything you said applies to hundreds of other fandoms, including this one.

just following up on the story with the brony vs non brony thread. Well, I decided to tell him by changing my steam name and avatar to brony stuff, and his reaction was more of a WTH then a WTF if you know what I mean. So after that, we convinced him to take the 5 episode challenge. We all got together and watched it on my friends big HDTV with surround sound and the whole bit. We showed him the introduction part of the first episode, and distracted him from the pilot-ness of it by pointing out all the animation glitches and when the background ponies showed up twice in the same scene ect ect. After that we showed him Read it and Weep, because it is so perfect, then the time travel one and then the season 1 finale episodes. He was laughing with us and seemed to enjoy it, but he said something along the line of "no comment" when we asked him. So later that week we are playing some Highlander lobby tf2 and in the lobby there had to have been at least 6 bronys. One guy starts hating hard on bronys and saying all kinds of dumb crap, and instead of supporting him like he would have normally, the non brony friend is defending us against the hater. The hater gets kicked by the non brony leader of the server, and that was that.
Just now he changed his name to Daring Doo and changed his picture accordingly.

He is the last person I would have expected to be able to turn, but hey. I guess this worked out well!

See I told you it would work out in the end.

Also congrats on everything working out.

Because she is the least developed tertiary or above character in the show. Even the other CMC have received their own eps. Scoot has not.


Frankly, I've not been able to see her the same since End of Ponies, so I will say that I do not endorse Scootabuse. :)

Re: What is with all of this "My little pony" stuff?

Worth pointing out that I think we've only had the one MLP thread that was actually started by fans of the show, and every subsequent thread since has been started by someone else WTFing at or otherwise bitching about its popularity.

It's funny how this is, after more than a year, still pretty much relevant.

Heh.
It's because us we bronies take refuge in here to post MLP stuff, because if we post on off topic or R&R we'd get torn to bits.

In other words, to prevent this from happening to your car:

TBH, my car is midnight blue and I'm surprised I haven't done anything Luna themed to it.
This might be a retarded question, but has someone photoshopped that onto that car or is that a real paint job? I mean, I've seen cars like that with anime figures on it, but this would be a first for ponies.

It's shopped obviously.

That is why I'm never going to read fanfics like that. I don't doubt that they're great, but I don't want to read depressing fanfics like that. That's why it took forever for me to begin Fallout Equestria fanfics, cause I was thinking it was going to be the levels of bad stuff Blackjack(from project horizons) happening to everypony from the show.

The submitter says they photoshopped the car.

The story isn't finished and is on hiatus for now. But I will say this; no matter how sad the story gets at times, it never extinguishes the underlying hope that seems to drive the protagonist forward without her even knowing. I generally don't read sadfics either, but this one is definitely worth it.

I like sad/dark fics. They're different. I mean yeah they do twist the entire foundations of the show on it's ass, but it's a welcome change now and again for me.
Too much happy :v

I love Grimdark and I love Superhappy.

The only thing that beats them both is to take a Superhappy setting and turn it Grimdark.

Probably why I enjoyed EoP so much.
