It might surprise some, but I haven't watched even a single episode of the show. Still, via [livejournal.com profile] xydexx:


Which My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic pony are you?



Pinkie Pie
As cute and quirky as a pony on a unicycle, with more energy and exuberance than an all-you-can-eat sugar rush, you can't help but naturally be the one that stands out from the crowd. And you don't mind! In fact you're usually have too much fun to even notice those other ponies staring at you. You love life and keep looking at it through those rose-tinted (or should I say pink-tinted) specs! And what's the point in being happy if you can't spread the cheer with others? With your gift of wonderful silliness you can bring a smile to anyone's face and help turn those frowns upside-down.

If you're slightly curious, I'd recommend this episode as an indoctrination introduction: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o53GQGBl5pY

This was a bit of a surprise because I thought I'd be Twilight Sparkle, but this works for me too:
Which My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic pony are you?



Fluttershy
While you tend to be a bit of a "delicate flower", you have inner strength just waiting to blossom. First of all though, you need to build up your confidence- because you can be far too insecure with yourself. But there are many positive elements to your sensitive side too; for starters, you're a real sweetheart! Without fail you'll do your best to look after a friend in need and care for them with all the love you have, and with your softness, gentle nurturing and peace-making ways you can help relax anyone in a crisis. Some would say you're as sweet as honey!

Yay! Vakko, you and I can defend the fort against the onslaught of barbarians in our defiance to watch MLP:FIM until we remain the last two on earth! :)

But you're missing out on the insanity! Why do you want to be sane when everyone else is crazy?

Except...

I may be on the edge of addiction, or at least mild fandom. The character design (which reminds me of PPG, and that's NOT a good thing for character design at least for me) put me off, but I did watch the episode [livejournal.com profile] nefaria suggested above. That one was a good start and I started like Twlight Sparkle as she seemed, at first, to be the only logical one around. Too bad she flipped 180 near the end for a bit... but it is a simplistic kiddie show. It also shows that this quiz is probably amiss or it's a big stretch to make Pinky my "best fit" - energetic, sure, but so... annoying.

I then decided to watch the first episode and found it was a two-parter. The whole dark/night as evil thing put me off (http://vakkotaur.livejournal.com/23576.html) but I went along with it. The climax was almost Captain Planet-esque but managed not to be that irksome. This also showed Twilight wasn't all that bright in some ways.

Some time ago I decided that I'd give a show that wasn't amazingly bad (eg: Waynehead... harf-harf-harf. I tried to watch an entire episode. Tried. I just couldn't take it.) a chance by watching three episodes. The introduction episodes are sort of different from the rest as they ARE the introduction. So I watched the next episode... in short bursts. Seems I can only take a few minutes of some of it at a time but couldn't just quit. I expect now I'll likely watch the rest, if only slowly. No marathons for me.

However, I refuse to use the term "brony" to describe myself. I find it an amazingly ugly word. Then, I never cared for "bro" itself.

And besides, you think I wouldn't end up watching something with equinity? At least giving it a chance? Come on. I don't understand rabid fandom, but I can see a quiet appreciation.

I've heard of MLP fans denying being furry and such. I think it may be a fear of self and the silly "furs are bad" meme propagated by some web sites that specialize in hate. MLP might be a "gateway" to furry for some. I expect furcons will see more equines, even if they might look a bit funny to me. I prefer a slightly more realistic look.
