Bronies... UNITE!

Mine was a tad odd, given that I do not try to be the best at anything, am incredibly lazy, and don't give to squirts about fashion or how I look (about the above average Rarity score).

Rainbow dash + Pinkie Pie? :/ This make absolutely NO sence.

I had a feeling this would happen when I answered one question in a VERY Rarity way. I have no idea where all the Pinkie points came from.

I guess I'll take it. I mean I don't see how my choice of answers lead me to being Rarity but seeing as there is only 6 cast members I suppose the test didn't have a thousand options. Applejack came in second.

Somehow I ended up as this:

Second place Fluttershy & third place Applejack. Pretty much true for first option. hehe

BTW someone from work introduced me to MLP. Watched just a few episodes... What in the world did I get myself into? :panic: LOL!

And to answer your question, what is probably the best fandom around.

I'm actually a bit surprised Twilight wasn't the result I got. I actually see myself more as her than I do as Rarity. :/

This song actually does a very good job of setting up a creepy atmosphere. Almost like a good movie trailer, sans the video aspect.

Whenever I happen to go to sleep, I end up playing my pony music playlist, usually starting on KeepOnRockin', so this ends up as the second song that plays, which would be problematic if I didn't see this picture previously, which instills nothing in me at the thought of Slendermane other than adorableness.

And noodle legs.

Spoiler'd for smooching.

Why do I usually find things that should be creepy and/or disturbing adorable? Slendermane x Pinkie, blood-soaked Scootaloo, psychotic Pinkamena (when no pony of mention is being hurt).

Indeed it was. And thus Slendermane is forever imprinted as a big, adorable softie. With noodle legs.

And I seem to recall you wanting to see a Fluttershy Big Boss pic some time ago. Hopefully you haven't seen this yet.

And also, just because it's Fluttershy, and adorable,

Watched the first episode just to see what this was all about. It was a good kids show, I admit, but I don't get all this obsession from the non-target audience, I'm sorry...

At that point you've only seen half of the pilot, and the pilots are actually the low point of season 1 for me. I Suggest trying an episode after 2 to get a better feel for the show, and there actually is no "target audience." Adult men were part of the "target" from the beginning as Lauren Faust set out from the get-go to make a show that all genders and ages can enjoy, as she doesn't believe that all "girls" shows needs to be mindlessly dumbed down. She also did Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, which both were a rather big hit with men as well.

I do believe 4chan.

I think MarbleHornets had something Slenderman-y going on as well. But as Vydrach said it (most likely) originated on 4chan.

Or a Slendermane boss battle.

I've seen the whole pilot, including the light and the dark sisters' peace treaty or stuff. I also might've seen a part of an episode while channel surfing. About a dragon and smoke and the yellow one getting pissed at the dragon.

I know it's the same creator of other popular shows and how it doesn't really have a target audience. But for some reason, I get more of a "kids show" vibe, comparing it to PPG or Foster's. The fact that here it's aired on Discovery Kids rather than Cartoon Network adds to the picture.

I'm not dissing anyone who likes it (I admit it's a good cartoon and a great way of reviving the franchise), I just don't believe the EXPLOSION and the cult that formed in the older audience.

I think the reason why is because of the huge amount of Star Wars, Dr. Who, and Star Wars and other pop culture references that are built into the show. There are things that some find humorous and that is why I think there is a huge following around it.

It's actually aired on The Hub here, and Boomerang in the UK, Boomerang being part of Cartoon Network. And you stop noticing anything little kiddish about it when you get into it because they do reference a lot of things that children won't get, such as how Apple Jack is also a type of alcoholic beverage. Then they call her Appletini which is another type of alcoholic beverage. And of course the Blazing Saddles reference, which takes place in an episode that's quite reminiscent of "The Trouble With Tribbles" from the original Star Trek.

Also from that episode,

Then there's the advertisements geared more towards adults than children, such as the Ponygeists and Bridlemaids billboards, and my personal favourite, Pinkie singing about, and I quote, "The birds and bees, and a whole lot of foolin' around."

(AND HOLY FUCKING SHIT I just realized I used to live over by where that Bridlemaids billboard is. That Victorio's restaurant, my friend owns that place. He doesn't work at that one, but at the original, but he opened that near where I used to live).

There's a heap more references and bad-ass stuff out there, too. My all time favourite being Fluttershy murdering massaging the bear.

Not saying you have to like it, but give it an honest try rather than just assuming it's entirely a kids show based off the pilots. Those are the childish because it is the pilots, and thus what they are using to get the show green-lighted, then they start pullin out the other stuff.

As long as you stay away from "Cupcakes" and anything related, they won't bite.
