~Friendship is Magic~
The My Little Pony Fanclub!

Owner: Meganium90 ★
(formerly Leaf Storm)

Introduction ★

Welcome, bronies and pegasisters (everyone, for that matter!) to the second reincarnation of the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fan club! Brought to you by yours truly! What is this club basically about? Ponies, of course! Discuss about the current fandom, the episodes that have already aired, including the upcoming new season, which is set to debut in Winter of 2013/2014! You can also discuss the ponies themselves, as well as their character development and more.

What’s with the fandom towards the current generation?

You may be wondering about that. Unlike the previous generations of My Little Pony, this generation is more open-minded towards the demographic target, and well...in my opinion, it’s the best show around. I can guarantee you that you’ll enjoy it!

If you’re curious as to what this generation is all about, I highly encourage you to watch the Pilot episodes of the show (Season 1, Episode 1 & 2), in my perspective, that was the episode that got me hooked. ;)

I want to join! ★

Hoold your hooves, little pony! We got some rules to discuss and to follow!

★ ~ All PokeCommunity and Other Clubs rules apply here
This is self-explanatory. You will be reported to Raichu if you break any of them, as well as break any of the rules here.

★ ~ Regarding Youtube videos & episode links
You may share a clip of the episode in discussion, or the episode that has recently aired, but please do not post full episodes. Also, please do not post links to download the episodes!

★ ~ Beware of spoilers
It is highly recommended to use the spoiler tags if you wish to discuss the episode in detail, or comment on the episode since there will be other people that haven't seen it just yet. Rule lifted till Season 4!

★ ~ Discussion is "anything goes"
As long as it's about ponies and nothing else but ponies. But please don't change the topic too much! I'll let y'all know if we're changing the topic too much or going too fast :P

★ ~ Keep discussion civil
No bashing, trolling, flaming, etc. Respect other bronies/pegasisters, and their opinions towards their favorite ponies. Also don’t join the club if you plan to bring da hate.

★ ~ As Pinkie Pie would say, BRING OUT THE PARTY CANNON!
Have fun!

Sign up! ★

I won’t require a sign-up form in this club. Why? Because there’s two things I require from you: Your Username and Your Favorite Pony of the Mane 6. I will separate each member to their favorite pony group. Also, when signing up, please say a few words about the club, or explain why <insertponyhere> is your favorite…or try to be on topic when you join. Posts that don’t contain additional information will not be granted access to the club. so, a form with two fields is pointless lol

If you feel that it's more organized that way, or if you want to "break the ice" in the club, then here's a template!

First to join. Woo. Glad we got another MLP club cause I miss the old one.
Username: AWsquared
Your Favorite Pony: Fluttershy I guess since you have to add me to a single group. She's really cute and it's funny when see acts assertive and fails cause of her shyness.
Additional Information: I got into MLP because of a particular drawing on DeviantART. I really liked it, but didn't know what FiM was back then so I googled it. I thought it was all a joke at first. Why would a bunch of guys watch My Little Pony, a show for little girls? I thought bronies were all joking and that people watched it to make fun of the show. One day afriend of mine posted a link to episode 1 on his friend's Facebook wall. I asked him what was the big deal with the show and he just said it was good. I still didn't understand why. After seeing so many artwork on DA I decide to give in and watch. I thought one episode wouldn't hurt, just to see what all the fuss was about. The first episode really dragged me in. And it was a two-parter so I had to watch episode 2. I did and ended up enjoying it. I watched the rest of season 1 and then became hooked to the series. It was around November 9 2011 when I admitted to myself that I've become a brony.

Also season 3 premiere was today. What did you think of today's episode?
Besides the amount of Gak

[Leaf Storm]

I had a friend that linked the first episode to me (because after four episodes he became a brony), and I disregarded them. A week later I went to YT and watched them, and got insta-hooked. xD

And yeah, Season 3 Episodes 1 & 2 were pretty good!

Spoiler:

To be quite honest, most of the action happened in episode 2 than in episode 1, when I was expecting most of the action to happen in both episodes (just like the previous events like Discord and the Canterlot Wedding. I mean, that's just my opinion though).

Though, it was great to see Cadence and Shining Armor appear in this event once again. And great to see Spike saving the day!

I found a gif that represents my favorite moment of the episode. Silly Pinkie. xD

And here's my thoughts on the Season 3 premiere episodes.

Spoiler:

I like the episodes, they were great.Not the best season openers, but still good episodes. Though I don't think King Sombra got enough screentime. I wish he got more action in the first episode. GAK got more screentime than him. He seemed like he'd make a good villain though, if he had more development. Still a good episode and had lots of humor. The scene mentioned above is a good example. Pinkie Pie and Rarity had some funny moments throughout. Also Spike saving the day instead of Twilight was really, really awesome.

[U_Flame]

Yay the pony club is back. My favorite pony is..well one cannot simply pick a favorite pony, but if I have to choose one it'd be Fluttershy. Obviously my username is U_Flame.

Since people tend to hate bronies at my school, my brony friends and I send references to ponies in public through inside jokes. For example, in acting class, we had a short scene that involved my acting partner calling out to me, in te scene, I pretended not to hear him so responded with "louder!" To which he responded quickly, "yay". No one got it, but we were proud.

I must agree that Pinkie's Fluttershy costume that she randomly just had from nowhere (probably pulled it from her hole in space-time continuum) and Fluttershy's reaction was the best part.

[Leaf Storm]

Welcome U_Flame! Another Fluttershy fan <3

Yeah, I tend to throw out some brony hints as well, especially after saying yes to a question, I tend to say "eeeeeeeeeeeeyup" instead of actual "yes" xD. Of course, almost no one at my college are bronies, so they wouldn't get it. lol

Spoiler:

I agree that there's too much gak commercials. Make a gak commercial about ponies and we'll be ok. :P

[U_Flame]

I use eeyup too! Yes is becoming less frequent in my vocabulary.

Your Favorite Pony: Applejack~
Additional Information: At first, Fluttershy was my top fav, but over the days, I felt liking more of Applejack, especially her hat and her accent. I became a brony earlier this year, and I blame my youngest brother for it. He forced me to watch it with him, but as the eldest, it was kinda my job not to be a killjoy after seeing his very wide grin. Though I only promised to watch one episode. Yeah, just one episode, I said. The clock ticked midnight as soon as I finished watching every single episodes from Seasons 1 and 2. xD

Username: synerjee

Favourite pony: I have two favourites, Applejack and Fluttershy, but if I have to pick between the both of them, it'll have to be Applejack. :3

Additional information: At first, I heard about MLP through a friend casually mentioning that her brother watches it and that he said it was good. I didn't think much about it and ignored it, thinking it must be some girly show and that why was my friend's brother watching it lol?! Many, many months later, I heard about it again and my curiosity increased to a point where I decided to give the first episode a shot and well..here I am now! xD

I chose Applejack as my favourite pony as I love her country accent as well as her faithful and strong personality. I think I need not say more. :D

Oh, and my thoughts about the 3rd season:

Spoiler:

I think it was really good, except that they should have developed King Sombra a little bit more. All he really did was float around, look malicious and growl menacingly. Overall, it was an awesome episode. Great animation, great storyline. <3

Your Favorite Pony: Applejack!
Additional Information: Uhm ... not sure. It's almost 6am and I should be heading to sleep. But been a fan since ... idk end of season one or something? After season one ended? Either way I'm not into the show enough to be called a 'brony' or whatever but I like watching it to pass the time. It's cute, the animation is really nice, and it has it's moments! ♥

As for season premier...

Spoiler:

It was neat! It wasn't as great as the other two season's but honestly it would have been really hard to top the villians of the first two. I'm sure if King Sombra or whatever got more character things would have changed but nope. Didn't happen sadly. Still, it was nice and loved seeing Spike being the one to save the day rather than Twilight!

Your Favorite Pony: Rarity
Additional Information: I was a member of the other FiM club too.
I found FiM after watching the FiM avatars, sigs and more last autumn.
Rarity is my favorite pony beside Applejack as I can relate to them most.
My friends and family knows I'm a Brony.

On saturday it's One Bad Apple with the new character Babs Seed.

Spoiler:

My thought on the S3 opening.

Spoiler:

All summer worth the wait.
It was like a crossover between Beauty and the Beast and Atlantis by Disney.
King Sombra reminds me of the Groke from the Moomins stop motion from 1979.

[Leaf Storm]

Hay guys! I got you all on the list finally. Welcome aboard! ^_^

Honestly, I am behind one episode because of schoolwork/illness/birthday! So I'll catch up today while I have a few days off from school :3 In the meantime,

Yeah it was hard to decide on a favorite pony! xD Twilight Sparkle was my first favorite. Then Rarity kinda took over. lol Welcome aboard to the club by the way!

Welcome to the club synerjee <3 I adore Applejack's country accent too, and it seems to catch on to me a lot...to a point where I mimic her accent lmao.

Hi Peachy! :D Welcome aboard! I must agree with you on the change of pace. Spike saving the day was a better ending rather than the usual, it's a great change for now. :D

Yay for a Rarity fan! *brohoof* Welcome to the club :D

Oh, and...you don't have to spoil the preview towards the next episode. xD What you do need to spoil is the picture. :P

[Houndour2005]

Spoiler clip inserted for One Bad Apple.

[U_Flame]

Not much discussion about the Pinkie episode? I have to say, my favorite craziness in that episode was

Spoiler:

Pinkie slowing her fall whispering, "wheee...." Also swimming on land. Everyone makes a big deal about fingers and old gen pinkie face, but I still love her swimming scenes most

[Lightning]

Joining! Username is obvious but you can all call me Erica. n_n

Your Favorite Pony: I... I guess Twilight Sparkle? Or Rainbow Dash? I don't really have a favourite. I love most of them.
Additional Information: I originally expected to hate MLP:FIM because I was never a fan of MLP growing up at all but the animation is really pretty so I kept watching it and before I knew it I was hooked. n_n Got my roommate into it so he and I watch the episodes together.

Anyway! I did not enjoy the season opener at all and was scared I might want to drop the series this season if that level of quality kept up but I really enjoyed the Pinkie Pie episode from this week so crisis averted! I'm surprised I liked it so much because I generally dislike Pinkie Pie's episodes (I think she's the only one I don't like in the Mane 6) so yay!

I'll put you on the Twilight Sparkle list. :D Welcome, Erica! ^___^

I was a bit mixed on the season opener too as I wasn't all too convinced on the new enemy. I felt that it should have more emphasis on his plan rather than more focused on what the ponies would do imo.

I did watch the Pinkie Pie episode earlier today. HILARIOUS, I must say. xD

Anyways, everypony! Think I should start a topic if y'all don't mind!

What's everyone's favorite song from the series?

[synerjee]

What's everyone's favorite song from the series?

Now THIS is a hard question! I found a video with all of season 1 and 2's music and listened to it over and over. I have a few favourites and it was a very tough decision. But I think I have finally decided!

Between Winter Wrap-up, Art of the Dress, Smile, At the Gala, Type of Pony, BBBFF and Perfect (unsure of the real title), I would have to say:

Perfect (The video has been linked to the correct time, just click play!)

Oh and my views on Episode 3 - Too Many Pinkie Pies: LOVED IT! This need not be spoiler'd. xD

[Houndour2005]

I loved Too Many Pinkie Pie's.

Spoiler:

I liked Pinkie Pie's G3 face.
It seems like books are important for the Season finale.

[U_Flame]

My favorite song is between Best Pet and Smile. Fluttershy was so adorable in Best Pet, also Derpy's appearance made it 20% cooler. Smile is just so cheerful, I can never resist smiling when I listen to that song! Also Pinkie Pie, 'nuff said.

[Houndour2005]

My favorite song are Art of the Dress and Becoming Popular too.

Sleepless in Ponyville is on my Birthday the 8th December.

[Leaf Storm]

Well, I'm excited for that one! Scootaloo is my favorite side pony and I'm happy that she's getting her own episode for once. Honestly I've been waiting for that since the start of Season 2.

For my favorite song..well I have two, and they're all from A Friend in Deed.


This song literally made me jump up, bounce on walls and just smile! I just love it!


I remember using this every time I welcome a new member to forums, and exclusively I use it here to welcome bronies <3

Anyone saw episode 4 already? :D

[synerjee]

I've just watched Episode 4 - One Bad Apple. My views:

Spoiler:

Hmm..I felt that it was rather short for me in a sense that although it was 22 minutes long, it only seemed about half as long as the said duration. I don't know, I was quite sleepy while watching it so I might not have a clear enough mind to evaluate it properly. I don't have much to say about it, but all in all, I think it's a great CMC episode. :)

[destinedjagold]

I've just finished watching Episode 4 of Season 3, and here are my thoughts about the said episode...

Spoiler:

I like it. I like the story, though the sequencing was kinda rushed, and also, I don't really like Bad Seed's voice. =/ Well, I did like her voice at the beginning, but when she decided to join Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, her voice, kinda suddenly changed, and I did not like it, and it completely bothered me for the rest of the episode. =/

[Houndour2005]

One Bad Apple review

Spoiler:

Best episode of S3 so far. Characters and animation improved. I wrote about cinema in Ponyville weeks before Hurricane Fluttershy on Fimfiction.

[AdvancedK47]

Oh my, Erica, you seem awfully lonely under the Twilight Sparkle group. Leaf Storm, you simply must add me there. Of course, Twilight Sparkle is best pony. I feel that I can relate to her a lot.

S3E4

Spoiler:

I really liked this episode. For a"How to deal with bullies" episode, it really set a high bar. Not to mention that the song was really good. Throughout the episode the animation is very detailed. The only thing was that Scootaloo might have been a bit OOC, and DT and SS were pretty shallow characters. I wish this wasn't the case, but oh well.
