I think SoaSE has you beat by a few years. And yes, that is a real in-game achievement.

At first I was like "you bunch of little man-childs are watching a show meant for elementary school girls", now I'm like "Okay, gotta screen this for age appropriateness. Every single episode. Tonight." I have a two-year-old girl sitting on my lap when I watch most TV, and this is beating the little furry pants off of Curious George. What's your excuse?

Also I might switch my avatar to Apple Jack. Did you guys realize she's named after freeze-distilled cider?

I should probably have my head checked, because I find myself in complete agreement with Nikov.

I don't have an excuse.

The ponies are adorable, the show makes me smile, and the show is just well made.

Years? That'd be... Gen 3. *skies darken, thunder rolls*

Alot of people think that way... I think.
But if it was just men being girly, why has it only started recently?  As far as I'm aware, there wasn't quite such a large male fanbase for previous generations of the franchise.

Excusing myself from watching the show would imply there was something wrong with enjoying it in the first place.

I'd be surprised if anyone hadn't really. I believe that one of her distant relatives is called Appletini in the first episode.

Right on, my brony. *hoof-five*

But on topic, I don't think I've been waiting this hard for the new season of a TV Show, let alone a cartoon, in ages.

I'm a 16 year old girl is my excuse.

And I've got to agree with Soli, my want button has been mashed to uselessness.

Oh? What's all this then?
It's Aurora. :)

What's up with an ideal temperature of -76.7 °C? Sounds a bit cold for ponies if you ask me. :P
It was my first time playing and I couldn't figure out how to change the planet's temperature.

What?

This, so very much this. The only thing I'm reluctant with regarding ponies is drawing fan art when someone is watching.

At first I wondered why that pony had a hoof in its mouth, but then I realised it's the oxygen tube.

I'm joining the herd, aren't I. Fuck, I might as well. I've got sixteen more years with two women in the house I'll have to relate to.

You might be able to get away with claiming that you passively enjoy the show and have no knowledge of knowing about it's cult-status.

Either way, if that's the way you feel then I guess I'm honour bound to offer you your first bro-hoof and some complimentary hugs.

Well, personally I tell people that I found out about the show because it has a cult following on he forum for the world's most violent videogame; Or at least I would, if it ever came up.

Not just cider, hard cider. It always strikes me as humorous that we have things like cartoon characters and breakfast cereals named after liquors.

Newbie drawing month, arranged by Equestria Daily! Day 1!

I'm going to try and make every single one of these. What do you mean, "overextending"? Are there anyone else who will join in on this event?

Awesome! Count me in, after I missed so many of the things I wanted to submit to bay12 I really should get back to drawing...

On a sidenote--I'm kinda new to the whole pony hype. I get that Derpy Hooves' name has been coined by the fanbase, as has the term "bronies". What about Dr. Whooves, is his name canon? And what's with the cupcakes thing?

Pretty much all the background characters' names are fanon. And Cupcakes is a famous fanfic about Pinkie Pie making cupcakes out of her friends; I'll spare you the details.
