I "discovered' MLP: FIM by just stumbling across "Save Derpy" (a.k.a. "Derpy's Apology") on YouTube. I was so touched and moved by this sad little filly (and so angry at the idiots who censored her — but that's for a different rant), that I started watching the show. I've always been a fan of Lauren Faust, and I quickly settled in to a wonderful, saccharine-sweet, yet down-to-earth series about these little ponies.

Then I found "My Little Dashie" ...

I bawled like a little baby for at least two hours, after reading that (but cheered up after reading "Part 2")! I was so touched how Rainbow Dash had changed the author's life, bringing him from a terrible depression (a place I've, sadly, visited all too often), and giving him hope, joy, and love, just to have her — well, I shouldn't spoil it!

Then! It all came tumbling together so fast! I learned about "bronies," found EquestriaDaily.com, and soaked up all the pony-rific goodness on the Interwebs! (God, am I addicted to all the PMVs, now!)

All that, and I'm a very heterosexual male. I've never been ashamed of my so-called "feminine" side, but I had NEVER had a show — a cartoon about fictional ponies, no less — tug at my heart strings so much.

Yes: I LOVE these ponies! I love this community, and I love the creators, producers, and TheHub/Hasbro for being so awesomely supportive of the movement.

Thank you, everypony; thank you!
