Aah, right. Well in that case, I definitely went through them, although slightly differently. Denial and Anger sort of coincided for me, they both happened in April and lasted for quite a while. At least, I can't remember when I was only in Denial and not both. I didn't really go through Bargaining, as I basically refused to give it a try until I had reached a point where I didn't mind the show or it's fanbase, unless someone was basically shoving it in my face. (Don't worry, no-one here is guilty of that.) And even then, I still gave it a try (mostly) of my own accord. When I gave it a try, I almost insantly went into Acceptance, but I'm kind of currently in Depression, in the sense that I don't let anyone else know.

However, I blame that on the fact that, well, basically no-one has ever heard of it over here in Scotland. Seriously, of all the people I know, four people have heard of the show: My brother, (who also goes on the internet often, so it makes sense that he knows) two of my best friends at school, one of whom has heard of it because he also goes on the internet often, the other of whom has heard of it because of the last guy, the one guy in my school who's a brony, but that guy's also a weirdo that I'd never wanna be seen hanging around with. (And most people I know would agree with me.) I would tell people I'm a fan of the show, but those who have heard of it, basically, are in Denial and/or Anger and will almost definitely stay there. Those who haven't heard of it, would go into Denial and/or Anger and almost definitely stay there. They would also most likely fall out with me and not be my friends anymore. However, there does seem to be an exception to this: One of the people who have heard of it, one of my best friends. He doesn't actually seem to have any strong feelings one way or the other, but he has watched something related to MLP, and he actually liked the video. (although that might just be because of the other thing it involves) And when it was revealed that the weirdo was a brony, now that I think about it, he was suspiciously quiet about the subject. He wasn't there when it was revealed (nor was I) but when my other friend mentioned it, he didn't seem to have any reaction at all, other than, I think, saying "Really?". So there is a (small) chance that he is actually a brony, or at least doesn't hate the show. Hopefully he is, not just because then I'll know someone else who is a fan, but also because it will make telling everyone else significantly easier.

Holy hell, I ramble too much.

EDIT:Wow, four new posts in the time it took me to make this post. I really do ramble too much.

EDIT2:I definitely agree, ShadowTiger, that sound is very cute. IMO, though, when it comes to the cutest thing ever on the show, nothing will ever be able to beat this.


NOTHING. Also, I do not reccomend going onto that video's YouTube page and looking in the related videos, as there is a video with a very disturbing thumbnail. At the very least, prepare the brain bleach.

...This post totally needed to be longer, y'know?

Haha, I do love that song. I actually really do. Some of the remixes aren't awful. The Silent Hill remix wasn't only creepy, to be honest. It did have some merit.

It turns out I missed "Call of the Cutie," so I watched it about 45 minutes ago.

EDIT: That post really shouldn't have killed the thread.

Friendship is Dragons is pretty much the best thing ever.

There is an episode tomorrow, right?

Yup, new episode.

Oh also I'm quite proud of myself. Even Russ, who dislikes this show and absoultely HATES Pinkie Pie got a bit teary-eyed when he read Pretty in Pink.

I feel my work here is done.

I actually liked this one a lot. Particularly (Just about exactly) halfway through. Although the image you see right now underneath this text is exactly why.

Surprised to see such little discussion of the new episode. Here, have my opinions on it.

It was a good episode, nothing that spectacular, but at the same time, it was goddamn hilarious. Probably one of the funniest episodes so far. It's in the top 10, at least. I still burst out laughing anytime I see

I was kind of annoyed by

Overall, this episode was quite good. Although, I found it odd how

Also, would anyone happen to know if the copyright claims on YouTube are actually Hasbro?

I couldn't sleep last night, so I rewatched a few episodes. Turns out the show isn't as good the second time around. (yet it still managed to squeeze out a few chuckles) icon_razz.gif

The show is proof that cartoons don't have to rely on getting crap past the radar in order to appeal to adults. It uses clever writing instead of bathroom humor (despite using a handful of overused tropes that can make it especially predictable at times) and makes innuendos so subtle (and relatively tame) that adults can easily miss them.

Rescue at Midnight Castle would have been better if it were split over two or three episodes and put more effort into introducing the characters. The characters are kinda boring, honestly.

EDIT: Shoot! The quote from IRC last night is gone.... As is my new avatar... Oh well. It gives me the opportunity to use a different avatar.

*sigh*

I feel like I'm falling out of the herd. For a while I only came on to post in this thread, and I even got my 1000th post because of this thread. Lately I haven't posted in this thread, and I've gone from watching the new episodes as soon as they're on YouTube, to now, I haven't even seen the last two episodes....

Uhhhh... Both of you are overreacting.

You don't have to be all-out gung-ho to be a fan of the show. I went a month without watching a single episode. Admittedly, I went a bit crazy from last Tuesday to Saturday, but I've since calmed down about it.

There really is a hidden step 4.5: ZOMGLOLPONIES, which is soon followed by plain acceptance.

I probably won't buy a pony backpack for myself, though I might [eventually] buy a plushie, or more than likely get my nieces pony toys for Christmas. I'd rather project my love for the show onto my nieces. icon_razz.gif (Or have a Fluttershy plushie on my couch. icon_biggrin.gif)

All the official plushies are creepy/just plain bad, and all the good custom plushies are freaking expensive. Just get an MLP tshirt from Hot Topic like I did.

In other news, after months of neglecting it I FINALLY sent my Evangelion crossover fic to EquestriaDaily. Currently awaiting pre-reader critique.

I keep wanting to watch the new episodes, but I just don't have any motivation to search for the episodes, I keep getting distracted by Minecra---- *notices your profile picture* I haven't seen that since I passed out Pastafarianism fliers last year xD
