In regards to the article I shared, I believe it does have a vast potential to gain new views. I guess the most important thing about it is that...the fandom will go through turmoil if MLP is no longer aired, but luckilly...that's not the case here! It does raise some concerns for after Season 5, but I don't think we should be worried. I can also understand the fact that not everyone in the fandom has The Hub, and it makes sense that MLP moving to a different network would mean more success. So, peeeeersonally, I am not really worried.
I'll also join CYD in helping the burials for both networks should said event happen. \o/
& yes. We need more HUMAN Derpy.
Merchandise update: went to Walmart at 11 pm last night to buy a birthday present for a friend of mine, and I spotted this.
The cost? $10. It was $20-25 before it got marked down for clearance. My reaction?
It is literally the most fluffiest plushie I've ever bought, and it's bigger than you see in that image. It's bigger than my chihuahua pup, and my youngest cat...and taller than my computer monitor. (I'd estimate about 1.5 feet). There was also plushies of Twilight and Celestia. I wanted to get Luna, but no Luna.
I also spotted a $4.99 Vinyl Scratch tin box at my werkplace yesterday. In fact, we have a craaapload of MLP merchandise that I reeeeeally want. Like a Twilight Sparkle toothbrush holder, MLP blindbags, as well as smaller plushies and pony toys (the ones that come with a brush to brushie their manes). I'm going to see if that Vinyl Scratch tin box is still there when I go later today. Because I waaaaaant iiiiit.
