The worst part is when you find yourself loving and tolerating people. ---

Of course, technically speaking, anybody who is a Brony is _also_…in a purely technical sense, mind you…is a… …Furry. FYI. ---

I’m a female brony/pegasister, so I don’t get much flak for watching and loving the show. I completely agree with \*\*Tanbarkie’s \*\* assessment of season 2. It was still good, it just lacked the understated humor and subtle character development of the first season. It’s much more hit and miss. I will say that Fluttershy’s growth as a character has made me quite happy. ---

Aren’t you a little old to be watching MLP?.. Yes, yes I am… I found what cured a mild case of developing Bronitis was exposure to the fine products developed by Doofenschmirtz Evil Incorporated, specifically the brand new Brony Cure-Inator… However I can’t help but suspect that all citizens of Equestria are, in all probability, also agents of the O.W.C.A.
