Welcome to Equestria! I'm a fan of zombies and whatnot also... but you can't just like one kind of thing all the time, right? Ponies are a great break from worrying about the impending apocalypse

@Skye: If you mean the two pegasi sliding down the rainbow at the opening in the original series, that's not what I'm thinking of - this rainbow was more saturated and had something closer to an actual ROY G BIV layout. It was literally a slide, I think, but I might be wrong there. Thanks though! @Ruqyo: I love the old CG stuff, and yeah, Reboot was definitely the cream of the crop. Have you seen the films also? They're not quite the same tone or feel as the show, I think, but definitely stand on their own and are worth watching (in my opinion, anyway!). @Snakebar: even on these very forums, if you look at the template threads, they refer to male ponies as bronies

Hi there! Can I ask why you used the term 'Robolime'? *is curious, being a lover of all things roboty*

*Fluttershy voice, hoofscuff* hiiiiiii Gravityyyyyy...

Hiya folks n_n Like most of you, I think, I was obsessed with MLP as a kid. I had a number of the toys, though unfortunately I drew all over my first five or so, being very young and thinking I could write their 'names' on them with a ballpoint pen - before I knew how to read or write XD I still have them somewhere though. My best friend is an avid collector of the toys as well and she's given me a decent number of them, and I still collect as well when I find them at garage sales or what have you. I only recently heard of the new Friendship Is Magic series, when my boyfriend who was looking to get more episodes of My Little Pony or My Little Pony Tales for me, found a (eep, shh, don't tell) torrent of the show from the opening 'movie' up to The Show Stoppers. I expected to hate it - I ignored ponies for a long time as a teenager due to my great dislike of the slimmed-down, 'teenage' G2 figures, and with the style I'd seen of stills from the show I expected it to be much the same. However I was delightfully surprised with the gorgeous animation, engaging characters and stories, and overall quality of the series! I hope to catch up on the more recent episodes as soon as I can. I am somewhat convinced that growing up, I used to watch a show called 'My Little Pony Girls', which had some similarity with My Little Pony Tales but wasn't the same show and had a different opening sequence, possibly including a slide down a rainbow. I have no idea if this show is real as I cannot find any information online about it, and it may just be a Canadian renaming of Tales, as many cartoons and kids' shows in Canada have slightly altered titles (see 'Beasties' in Canada opposed to 'Beast Wars' in America for an example). Nonetheless, I'd love to find out if my memories are correct one way or the other, so if you know anything about it, please let me know n_n ! Anyway, that's my pony experience in a nutshell. I'm an artist, and I hope to draw my pony character, Rose Quartz, as soon as I find enough time away from my commissions and professional work! So keep an eye out for that, I guess c: So, how did all you guys get into FiM, or even the original ponies and whatnot? Also, I know that many people call male ponies 'bronies', but I've also heard the word used to generally describe fans of the new series - which is it? @_@
