Oh fuck.

...That could be good or bad.

And that depends on the ratio of Fluttershy/Twilight/Rainbow singing to Pinkie singing.

Hopefully most of them will be Pinkie's randomness and not poorly-written stuff.

Either that, or Ingram's other awesome musics are getting episodes crafted around them.

Through The Eyes Of Another Pony updated again? This is MADNESS!

Neight, this is Equestria!

@J Apanese teeth

I loved the fact that you quoted C's Lewis on your review I agree on most points specially the part that you spoke for the mane cast.

Nice work as always.

Speaking of fanfics, Cereal Velocity just posted this:

I'm expecting great things from this one.

A song every episode in season 3, huh? I could live with that, probably!

We still have more than half of season 2 to go through, and then the break, though, so let's not get ahead of ourselves. =)

Songs yaaaaaay , they have my utmost support and optimism for that .

Now, this is something I've had running through my head ever since discovering the show, and a topic that has occasionally cropped up in this thread: coming out of the "pony closet" to your friends and family. I'm now turning to you to maybe get some opinions, if that's ok.

I have yet not said a single word to any RL people about my burning passion for this show, which has become part of my life by now; only on this thread, which has helped a lot, but not completely. It's becoming really unpleasant for me by now, I can't clearly answer what I'm doing at the moment, I can't quote anything or make meme references to it...

Now my Dad's visiting the day after tomorrow and.. I really would like to "come out" at least to him. I distinctly remember one of our regular posters here having the same dilemma many, many pages ago, he ended up not doing it. If it helps, my Dad is a super nice guy, no obsession with "being manly" or anything like that, and we share a couple of interests, like Lord of the Rings.

Really sorry for the wall of text there . But maybe I'm not the only one with similar problems and we could get some nice conversation out of it .

I've come out of the closet to pretty much everyone. My mum likes the show (she even watches it with me sometimes), My dad and I... have an understanding , my sis loves the show, my friends tease me about it but admit that the show is pretty good despite themselves. My classmates have seen me on this forum. Most of them say something like: "My Little Pony?" but none have ridiculed me for it.

saturdays have become pretty big around my house. and the new episode is pretty much on EVERYONE'S mind that day

Sounds great, specially the fact that you have good relationship with your parents .

Remember Real men don't needed to proof their manliness and real adults don't want to grow up.

"When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”

C.S Lewis (best quote)

I was never in the pony closet so I don't think I can help.

I watched an episode on Boomerang in front of parents and the day after I watched my first episodes I told friends about how great it was and never turned back.

While I havn't told my parents I'm a brony face to face, I suspect they know. I'm not hiding it, just not shouting about it. They know my brother is one as well.

I've basically come out to all the people that matter. My sister is a fan but not as obsessed as me.

My more jocky and manly best friend on the west coast was already a fan of the show when I came out to him(I predicted it because he's so danged emotional.).

I got another one of my friends into the show because I knew he would like it as a "sensy" as JD would call him. I regret this decision because I forgot he had an obsessive personality.

And my last good friend is just okay with it and is merely surprised at how big the show has gotten.

No issues here.

You are braver souls than I , and Ginger, I envy you. Now, the thing is, the "coming out" part and explaining and so on is gonna be hard enough, but then I of course would want to show a demonstration. That's the part that really gives me problems. I was thinking of maybe starting with the group picture to establish a basis and then maybe one the ponified movie trailers on Youtube to see it in movement... like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1hETuP33r8&feature=related.

I don't see a need to shout it out to the world. One of my buddies irl is a fellow brony, and I've seen the SG Bronies at AFA 2011, although I haven't joined their herd yet (partly because I don't use Facebook).

I didn't SHOUT it out, I just didn't feel the need to hide it.

Augh. I just watched The Runaway Rainbow. Nothing is right. The entire plot revloves around rainbows, yet they make it very clear that in this world rainbows only have four colours: Blue, Pink, Yellow, Pink and Purple. Rarity is a pink filly with the attention span of a peanut, Rainbow Dash is an Earth Pony who acts like Rarity and calls everyone "darling" as though she was Zha Zha Gabor and for some reason Cheerelie is a Unicron. For the sake of my sanity I will not discuss any of the songs.

As bad as that was it still isn't the low point of the My Little Pony franchise. That would be this thing.

Fell: The ponified movie trailors are generally a good way to start. I started posting a few of them to Facebook and it piqued a few RL friends' interest (as well as some Internet friends'). Two of them ended up okay with it and have watched 7 or 8 episodes with me. The third got quite a bit more into it, although she's not as obsessed as I am. It took kind of a two step thing to tell my family. I started by showing them my customized Winter Wrap Up Twilight. I don't think most of them took it as seriously as I thought, though, because for the second step where I wore one of my pony shirts when I went over for supper, they seemed surprised.

That's sweet .

Thanks to everypony for the responses . I'll ponder about it a bit more, now I'm away for a bit.

DONT! OPEN! THAT! DOOR!◊

I've showed my parents a few of the episodes (they've both seen Suited For Success, and my mom told me later that she's been in similar situations when it comes to web design) but they've never had a problem with any of my interests before (they've even watched Puni Puni Poemi with me, AFTER I warned them what kind of anime it was first). Not to mention I liked My Little Pony before Friendship Is Magic came out anyway, so me liking the new show wouldn't be news to them.

My parents are probably aware that I like the show, although I've never explained to them. I have a Rainbow Dash bumper sticker on my car that I know they're aware of, and I they've noticed when the blind bag toys I ordered off ebay came in the mail. I certainly haven't made any effort to hide it. The only reason I haven't bought a t-shirt yet is because I'm too cheap.

@Fallen: I figured you'd catch that. C.S. Lewis is one of my favorite authors.

EDIT: @Will: Cheerilee is Unicron!? Holy crap!

Your reveiw of the last ep was great JT. It pretty much syniced with my thoughts on it, and the C.S Lewis referance was a nice touch.

In other news, could ponies do yoga? Because I could picture Tealove doing it, and trying to get Peeler into it as well!

Okay, I'll never catch up on two-and-a-half days worth of conversation. What have I missed?
