(It's 1am, and i'm tired, so i didnt read the others posts... so if i'm just repeating them, sorry) I dont think it's somethign that they need to know... i mean, you dont need to hide it from them, but it's not somethign you need to announce... y'know... you wouldnt stand up during dinner and say "mum... Dad... I really liked Iron Man 3'...nor would you stand up and announce that you're part of the chess club at school... I mean if they asked, sure you'd tell them, but it's not something to be so freaked out about... I have a wall of stuff in the corner of my room, some of it with pony stuff... they haven't asked me about any of it, so i dont bother to tell them... Just enjoy yourself... If they ask you about it, just say 'its a character fro ma show i like," If they find it odd, Just shrug it off... You're happy, you're enjoying yourself... And they should be happy you're happy.
