I found MLP back in summer of 2014, during the season 4-5 hiatus. I was on Youtube one day, when I was randomly recommended the song What My Cutiemark is Telling me from S3 ep13. I was bored so I decided to watch it and immediately I was interested in it. The characters seemed really neat and I loved the art style. After that I started to watch the show and I quickly started to love it. I was going through a really difficult time, and MLP helped me ignore and cope with some of the things that was happening. It really helped me. Then I found all the amazing things the fandom made and I started to get involved with it. I already knew how to use SFM and there was a community around it, so I started making MLP SFM pictures. I was really shy/had really bad anxiety so I kept them to myself and a few others, until August 2016 when I started to post them here.
This show really helped me interact with others which was something I never did much. I met a lot of people and made lots of friends throughout these years because of this show. I would be a completely different person if I never watched it. It means so much to me and I’m really sad seeing it come to an end, but I’m also excited to see whats next. Thank you to everyone who worked on this show, and everyone I met in this fandom.
