Ponies

So there's this show on The Hub that has somehow caught the attention of a significant amount of the male population. Perhaps you know it. It's about six little ponies who get into all sorts of shenanigans and must overcome them through the power of friendship. Each of these precious little ponies has a fabulous character trait that makes all six of them together invicible for whatever reason, and to be honest, it kind of reminds me of Sailor Moon. There's the ever honest Applejack, beautiful and generous Rarity, kind and gentle Fluttershy, ever loyal Rainbow dash, psycho therefore full of laughter Pinkie Pie, and that one that wields magic through her face stick.  

Seriously. Sailor Moon all over the place.

I'm not going to lie, I freaking love this show. The more you watch it, the more you don't believe it was really made for 8 year olds. Well....obviously it was. They're colorful ponies that conquer evil with friendship, but it's also more than that. There's humor included that only those of older ages would understand. Now it's possible that those moments were just thrown in there for the parents of the 8 year olds watching the show, but who cares? 

Yep...this is what I identify
with most, guys...

Honestly, I find it both amusing and somewhat horrifying that I can relate to Pinkie Pie. She's psychotic, and I'm pretty sure somewhat schizofrenic. Not exactly something you want to identify with, but other parts of her personality are huge components of myself. I love the fact that each pony has a genuinely different personality from the rest. It's a great break from some of these other kids' shows that only consist of spaztic screaming and disgusting behavior.
What I love most about the different personalities of the ponies is that they need all of them to defeat whatever the enemy may be in their two part episodes, and then in the regular episodes, they show how to work out the differences between them. It's about acceptance. Which sounds fantastic to a girl who spent a lot of her life getting weird looks and left out because she was "different".
Well....that's pretty much all I have to say on that. I know it's short, but I really only wrote about MLP because that's what the majority wanted, so here it is guys. Now, if you'll excuse me there's a Harry Potter Marathon on ABC Family I want to get to.
