Hello all! For those who actually wonder about me I will state all about my opinions on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and even say a bunch of other stuff that may or may not relate to the show.

First off: How I became a brony. I first heard about the show in 2011 and I personally rejected it, because I wanted to preserve my masculinity. Now, I enjoy shows such as the Powerpuff Girls, but I know that a lot of other guys like that show too. So let's fast forward a lot to the summer of 2012. My brother was watching MLP when I walked in (the episode was "Hearth's Warming Eve") so I tried to watch a little bit of it. I could not understand any of it, so I told him to turn it off. So he did and I forgot about the show for a little while.

Then jump ahead to November 2012. During one of my midnight boredom sessions I decided to watch an episode for the heck of it. By that time I had at least learned the names of all the main 6 ponies (but for some reason thought Spike was Rarity and vice versa) thanks to the Internet. The first FULL episode I had watched was "The Last Roundup." I watched it and ended up realizing how good it actually was. Then the next few weeks went by and the episode "One Bad Apple came out. I watched it and during the "Babs Seed" song something clicked for me and I knew that I had become a brony. I realized how good all aspects of the show were: the voice acting, the animation, and the writing are only a few of the components that make this show one of the best I have ever seen.

So that's my history of becoming a brony. Hope you enjoyed my little story! Now randomness time:

 Top 10 Favorite Characters List: 



1. Fluttershy

This pony right here is one of the main reasons why I am a brony today. Everything about her appeals to me: her sweetness, her humbleness, and even those times where she basically comes out and tells you: "nobody messes with me and gets away with it." She has that "adorkable" personality that I just adore in a female character. I've never once felt like she's had a dull performance on the show. I feel like they made this character have a lot of quality to her. 

This pony is great and you shall obey her. (If that's okay with you, that is.)



'''2. Applejack'''

I gotta give you some respect here, Applejack. I never used to like you much. Ever since I first started watching the show, I found you kind of uninteresting. But as time went on, I began to see how enjoyable of a character you could actually be. Applejack is arguably the most mature of the main 6, and definitely the most sarcastic of the bunch. Her comforting nature towards Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy, her sarcasm towards Rarity and Pinkie Pie, and her downright competitive rivalry with Rainbow Dash make her a quite versatile pony fitting almost any situation. I hope to see more of her in the future; a character like her is quite difficult to get just right. Honesty is a great policy, and what better pony to portray that than Applejack!



 3. Scootaloo 

All chicken jokes aside, her tomboy-ish can-do attitude is pretty remarkable. She's pretty funny when paired with her other CMC friends, and while they are usually won over by the sappiness of the other ponies, she responds in disgust, possibly to a greater extent than her idol, Rainbow Dash, does. Her skills on the scooter are pretty amazing; it's a shame that she doesn't have her cutie mark yet. Well, that goes for all of the CMC. Also, her singing voice is getting much better. Practice makes perfect, Scootaloo! (goes off to fix eardrums after hearing Scootaloo's singing pre-season 3)



'''4. Princess Luna'''

All hail the Lunar Republic! Luna is quite an enjoyable character in this show. I love how awkward she is in "Luna Eclipsed," having been away from civilization for so long that she ends up intimidating the other ponies accidentally. Her old-style of talking makes her flustered attitude much more pronounced. She seems to realize how to act later on, and acts a little more comforting to other ponies (prime example: "Sleepless in Ponyville with Scootaloo). Her calm attitude when under her older sister's guidance feels more regal, but she gets a little more confused without leadership. This is how a little sister figure should work, and it does: even with royalty, apparently. Luna is yet another character that I wish to know more about in the future.



 5. Sweetie Belle 

Sweetie Belle, you have the same qualities that I love in Fluttershy. You're cute as can be, your singing voice is remarkable, and you know how to stand up for yourself when you need to. We need more character development for Sweetie Belle, possibly more than any other pony I mentioned on this list. Her personality mimics Fluttershy's really well; I could see an episode where the two bond (heck, we already saw them singing the same song in "Stare Master"). You deserve a spot this high on my list: you're just too precious to ignore!

 6. Discord 

This guy is just sheer awesomeness. Take what makes Pinkie great, and multiply it by Q. This character is probably another reason why I got into the show in the first place. His chaotic mishaps make everything go into a pit of insanity, but I love that about him. He takes whatever you think is real and warps it so much that it's not even comprehensible anymore. He's kinda like a troll on message boards: he makes no sense, but sometimes we just let him do whatever he wants, just for our own amusement. He does what he does to amuse himself, which, albeit a little sadistic, is still hilarious. Who else could possibly drink the glass from around chocolate milk, and then throw the chocolate milk away and explode it? Sometimes the greatest minds are the insane ones. Discord proves that sanity is just plain overrated.



 7. Rarity 

Yet another character who's grown on me recently. Originally the bottom of the barrel of the Main 6 with me, ranking just below Applejack, she's a pony I can feel for nowadays. It took me a while to notice, but her obsessive and sophisticated personality isn't all that stereotypical. She manages to make situations humorous, unlike anyone I've seen who falls under her category of character. Her squeamishness makes her contrast greatly with Applejack and Pinkie Pie, while she seems to gravitate towards the more unspoken members of the Main 6: Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy. She seems to bond with Twilight Sparkle by standing up for her a whole lot, and actually relating to Fluttershy with her hidden knowledge of fashion. Rarity can make a "posh" pony look interesting, which is pretty commendable if I say so myself.

8.   Pinkie Pie 

During my first experiences with the show, Pinkie was the pony that made me stay for a whole episode. That one episode turned into two, into five, into ten, and soon every single episode. Something about Pinkie Pie really captured my attention: perhaps it was her ever-jubilant attitude, or maybe it was her ability to make the fourth wall concede to her every command. Whatever it was, Pinkie had kept a constant appeal in my mind. But unfortunately, that's all it was: constant. Nothing ever really changed with her. Yeah, she was still funny as I grew to know the show, but she's only ever gone above her normal level of humor so often. Pinkie Pie, I adore your ability to always make me smile, but I want to see you leave me laughing so hard that I cry. Do you accept the challenge, Pinkie?

 9. Rainbow Dash 

Quite similar to Scootaloo, Rainbow Dash is the tomboy of this show. Not afraid to push her limits, not afraid to get mud on her hooves, and whatever happens to her, she takes the challenge and flies head-first into any situation. Her love for her abilities is definitely a positive quality in my book. If you were to have ultimate skills in what you do, you would definitely want to boast about them. Even though this attitude is definitely strange for a girl, she makes it seem natural, like she was built specifically to meet all expectations of her role. She's competitive, athletic, and powerful. I wish I could be as awesome as Rainbow Dash, but I guess I will just have to keep dreaming.

<u style="font-style:inherit;">'''10. Apple Bloom/Twilight Sparkle'''

Both of these ponies deserve to be on this list, but I only had 10 spots. So I'll give it to both of them, they both earned it. They are both the leaders of their separate groups, and they both learn a lot from experience. They bond with almost everyone on the show and end up being the most compatible ponies in terms of just interaction with every pony. They're basically the same in that they are both trying to find out who they are and what their goal is. I hope that they both eventually come to figure out their true identity in the future, but even so, they need to take a backseat to the other ponies once in a while. We need less episodes focused on these two and more on the rest of their friends.
