Introductions
Greetings everyone.

Making a presence on the internet is one of the last things I thought I'd do... Yet then again finding entertainment in any show that has 'My Little Pony' in the title was also up there just only a year and a half ago. I have always been into the analytical aspect writing. I enjoy reading/ watching critic reviews, and I also keep track of multiple webcomics. It was through this medium that I discovered the latest edition of My Little Pony... Friendship is Magic. Cartoonists like Kevin Bolk and Dan Shive both first exposed me with little tidbits that referenced the show. I remember that in those comics' commentaries, they explained the show and the community of people that became hooked on the show. Considering that I respected both cartoonist's judgements, after the several years of following their comics, I was intrigued to say the least. However I never did much about it for a long time. When a close friend of mine actually started watching it, I finally decided it'd be an appropriate time to try..... And I never regretted it.

Moving back a step to the point after I discovered MLP FiM's existence, I had finally discovered TvTropes. Around that time (and still to this day), I was working on developing a fantasy story/world. While I knew what I wanted to convey, I lacked experience and understanding of original plot development, and I was well aware if I was gonna do my ideas proper justice, I would need to do more research. As I browsed the internet, I saw many 'new writer tips and tricks' and most of it was either a load of bull or just didn't provide any more help than what I already knew. Then I discovered TvTropes. The website was unique... It was like a wiki, but very informal, it provided many literary devices I knew, either by an official name, or by a name provided by the site. I was amazed by that... I often got hung up on a lot of things because I didn't have a method to express the more subtle 'tropes' with an associated name... and Tvtropes provided it. Then by the time I finally watched my first episode of MLP, I had fully immersed myself into trope culture.

The reason for mentioning all of that is because I made this profile with one purpose in mind...

 To establish an identity in which I can express my opinion on certain topics of debate on this wiki, particularily on the episode pages.

 I have studied critics, movies, literature, manga, webcomics, video games, and cartoons all throughout my high school career. And as time went on I began to develope my own opinions for what is good and what is bad in media, and then I also learned to respect things that I don't like, but were done well based on logical analysis of a piece of work. And with all the season 2 controversy that has sprung up, ESPECIALLY after the release of Merriwether William's first episode, I had slowly begun to vocalize myself in comments under the anonomyous shroud of a general user. However, I want my opinions to belong here, with me, where I can make my case with less words in comments, because they will already be said here. I intend to make my opinions on anything I have debated so far clear here and then if I ever have a disagreement over something with someone on the wiki, this can be used as an aide to keep arguemnents toned down and based more on facts than personnal preferences.
