Yep! Those are the same sprites used for the Desktop Ponies. xD;
I should turn those on again. o3o They're pretty fun to have around. :D Also, with the whole "Brony" thing... I personally think that the word just refers to fans of the show. It applies to both male and female. People seem to take it the wrong way, simply because of the fact that it has "Bro" in it. /hoping nobody takes this in an offensive way, because none is intended :< EDIT: Oh, and I completely agree with Astinus about the thing with the older fans. Then again, I hear that most of the older fans enjoy G4, like most of us. It also must be irritating, since most bronies dislike the older generations in someway. Must be really depressing for them. |
-Favorite Episode: The Cutie Mark Chronicles, no doubt. - Favorite Main Pony: I like them all! - Favorite Side Pony: DJ PON-3~! - About Me: I started watching the show when my sister did (Around early summertime this year) and I absolutley love the series. I get teased about it sometimes, but I honestly don't care. My Little Pony is just too awesome to handle for them. |

When someone asks you how the term "brony" was created, people will tell you it's combination of "bro", referring to males, and the word "pony." When that person asks you why such a word also includes older female fans, you'll just shrug and say that's how it is. Because the female fanbase is apparently not important enough to warrant its own name, we have to stick with the term "brony" which doesn't really fit us to begin with. Plus, the staff of the show even recognized this word as referring to the male fanbase in the song Equestria Girls. I just don't feel like I, as a female, belong under that definition even if the meaning was altered. No offense taken, and no offense intended either. This isn't geared at anyone at all; I just wanted to speak up! To each their own :3 In fact, from typing this I realized I'm not even the nickname type. I'd rather just be called a fan of MLP: FiM, nothing more. A female-oriented term doesn't really interest me in any way. |
Well, I tend to call my sister "bro", or "man" at times. xD;
Dunno if that means anything, haha. Anyway, now I completely understand. I sorta assumed females just didn't like the term because of "bro". o3o But yeah, I wouldn't want to be called something of the sort, if there was some fanbase with a majority of girls. So yeah, I understand. Instead of using "Brony" or "Pegasis" or whatever, some people just call the fanbase "Ponies". xD; I actually kinda like that. It's much easier than saying "fans of MLP", or anything. xDD;; EDIT: Oh, and welcome RobotUnicorn! :D |
Welcome RobotUnicorn. Welcome to the herd.
I found some My Little Pony fruit snacks while at the store today, but the art was all Gen 3-3.5 and not Gen IV, so I didn't buy it. If it was Generation IV, I would've bought it. |
Welcome to the group, Robo-Comrade. :)
I hope you enjoy the herd and the discussions on here. |

As such I feel like terms like "Pegasister" are depreciated. If you really MUST use a gender loaded term, just use "Filly" as the Equestria Girls video does. But I really don't like seeing women set themselves apart from the guys just because of a word...it's just counterproductive to the purpose of the fan community anyway, which is overwhelmingly supportive of all of it's members as well as completely ignorant to things such as gender and more. To call oneself anything but a "Brony" when being a fan of MLP Gen 4 simply sets you apart from the fanbase, and that really isn't productive. Besides, the word 'Pegasister'? SO UGLEH. If you're using gender based pronouns, just use things like Filly, or Pony if you want to be gender neutral. |
Tomorrow is a pretty special day. Well, in our timezone anyway. Who can guess? Anyone? Nobody?
It's the Anniversary for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Yep! One whole year since it started and one whole year since Twilight arrived in Ponyville and Luna returned. So I drew a little picture for the occasion. Spoiler:
Just a topic question. Has anybody got anything planned for Monday? |

Fantastic fan-art you found Yoshi-san, as I try to find more Applejack wallpapers but I can only find a few.
And tomorrow will be a day to remember! |
- Favorite Episode: Party of One
- Favorite Main Pony: Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy - Favorite Side Pony: Princess Luna - About Me: When I first discovered the series, I said to myself "Why on Earth do so many people like this show?" and then I decided to watch an episode to find out why everyone liked it so much, eventually, I became a brony after watching so many episodes. |

Less than a week for the new episode. I'm excited D:
|
I'm personally looking forward to the remastered opening theme. xD;
Seeing even a bit of change will be fascinating. :DDD Also... Fwee~ I didn't put that picture here, simply because of it's size. xDD;; I was actually a part of this collab. I drew that Bon-Bon sitting on a pillar around the right. :D If any of you guys can be bothered, you can still join in. It's going to be updated until Friday. |

I really hope this next episode is good, as I would not be happy if the season started out badly.

Pray tell, what would drive you away?
I don't think there's a whole lot they could do to drive me away...I'm hopelessly hooked on this generation. ♥ I really am looking forward to this season though. Little bit of trivia: Did you know the person who played 'Q' from Star Trek is the same guy who voice acts as Discord? ...I was certainly gobsmacked when I realized that. :D |
Quote:
I already knew that Discord was played by Q since before the episode aired. |
