Inactivity notice (sorta)

Hello all who is reading this.

Partly due to, and accelerated because of the corona virus, I have reevulated how fragile human life can be. Because of this, I vowed to spend much more of my free time with loved ones then I did prir to this. In these past weeks, I have hung out with several of my friends in meaningful and safe ways (chatting on Discord, playing games on Steam, watching films on Cytube, hang over Twitch, etc). Because of this, I have had very little free time to edit on this wiki, though I still try to check it twice a day to make sure no vandals are afoot.

I apologize for my inactivity. If you have any concerns, please still feel free to shoot me a message or write on a talk page, I still check those!

History

I was born in 1997 on 7 August, born as Jordan. I am a Transgender woman and longtime fan of My Little Pony. While I enjoy the series in all of its incarnations, my favorite series is Equestria Girls. My Little Pony is what ultimately lead me to discover my transexuality, so bonus points. I first got into the series in around 2011-ish when I saw an old PMV and thought the series was soooo cool, but my sister thought it wasn't appropriate for boys so...yeah.

I am, by most accounts, a very friendly person who loves to talk with people and make friends, but I do not tolerate bigotry or hate-speech of any kind. If I see any sort of harassment based off any of that, you're gone. That said, I respect people's differences as long as they're not hostile about them.

Never feel afraid to shoot me a message or email! While I do not ignore people, sometimes due other obligations or health issues, I cannot reply on-time and sometimes forget, so never hesitate to remind me once every day or so (or even few hours of it's dire).

Outside of My Little Pony, I am a Beatles enthusiast, bird lover, amateur voice actress and an aspiring fiction writer.

Opinions and stuff

I generally like everything in the My Little Pony franchise, every major thing at least. There are some stinkers, but ultimately I like the whole series.

Cartoons

• My Little Pony 'n Friends: This is honestly a really fun show! The biggest appeal f it is you never really know what's going to happen next. There's almost no continuity and each episode is purely self-contained, which makes for fun episodes if you just want to kick back and enjoy the insanity of 80s cartoons. Surprisingly has a ton of talented people too, like Nancy Cartwright and some writers for freakin Disney films.
• My Little Pony Tales: Not as good as n friends, but far from a bad show. It gets far to much hate because ("because" looks like a bed when spelt) certain cartoon reviewers on YT said it was bad, but it's really not. Like n friends, it has a great episodic nature with each episode being far removed from the last; yet it also has a decent amount of continuity for a mid 90s kids show. What makes the show great in my eyes are the characters, they're all surprisingly fleshed out, rounded and well-defined, each ith their own detailed personal lives and personal drama, which isn't to disimilar to Friendship is Magic.
• My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: By far the longest running Pony show and generally considered the best. With 9 seasons, I cant really sum this up in a single paragraph, so I wont!
• 'My Little Pony: Pony Life: I feel like a lot of people forget Pony has always been chasing trends, so they really shouldn't be shocked with the aesthetics of Pony Life. In my opinion? It's cute! Like how Pony should be.

Comic books

• My Little Pony Comic: Shares the same charm as n Friends, but nowhere near as much. It has its own mythology going on with recurring characters not in the cartoon and the behind-the-scenes of it is pretty neat. I love all the cute little British terms like how it describes the ponies as getting "crossed" all the time and it has a sweet gentleness that is weirdly lacking from a lot of Pony material.

• My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (comic book): With over 80 issues, I can't really give this a proper opinion since the quality varies so much. At its peak - which I believe sadly happened rather early in its run - It's way more fun than the cartoons, but lacks the same level of sentimentality, with some exceptions (Friendship is Magic #40) but at rock bottom? It can be downright mean-spirited and angry, which Pony should never do.

• My Little Pony: Micro-Series: Cute fun! That's the best way I can describe Micro-Series, each issue is a one-off character piece that generally either dives into a personality trait of a character that isn't as established as their other traits, like Fluttershy's artistic side, Spike's gentle, brotherly nature or Celestia's judge of character. Some issues dive straight into the sentimental side of Pony, while others are content with just being fun, one-off adventures. Theirs not really a single bad issue, and I can't think of a "low point" in this series, it's all really good!

• My Little Pony: Friends Forever: Like Micro-Series, this series is a lot of cute fun! It's a lot more sentimental as it focuses on the dynamics of multiple characters, sometimes duos we've grown to love already, but haven't seen as much, and sometimes characters with no real prior interactions. I wish we got more out of it, however, I feel like a better character study on characters like Snips and Snails would've nice, and a less mean-spirited issue on Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon would've also been cool. I think my favorite issue was Zecora and Spike, since it touched upon Spike's insecurities, while also establishing a new side of Zecora's character that totally works with what we know of her.

• My Little Pony: FIENDship is Magic: It's pretty good. That's all I can really say about this series. It has a great starting point with the first issue, focusing on Sombra's past...but other than that? The rest of the series is far from bad or anything, it's generally pretty well written and the art is consistently excellent, but it's not nearly as memorable, with later issues not hitting a high value of fun, sentimentality or cuteness. In fact, some of the stories are kinda miserable feeling, which I guess works for the tone but still.

• My Little Pony: Legends of Magic: Probably my favorite of IDW's titles. I feel like really captures the high-fantasy, good-natured feeling of the franchise down to a T. but I feel like the earlier issues are better than the later ones. This is partly because the later ones are drawn by Tony Fleecs, who I'm sure is a wonderfully nice guy in real life and he really has improved as an artist...but his art always feels like a downgrade, especially when it comes after the always-amazing Brenda Hickey. The other reason why I don't like the second half as much is some of the whimsical of the stories fades and the "darker" side of MLP comics shows up, it was exciting as a teenager seeing ponies basically openly threaten to murder each other, but now as I get older, I like pony most when it's stories about love in its many forms, as cheesy as that sounds.

• My Little Pony: Ponyville Mysteries: Love it! It has the cute and sentimental nature of the show with a great framing device that lets us see underused characters when they're more vulnerable. I wish we got more issues out of it, as I can only imagine they would've told even more fun stories.

• My Little Pony: Nightmare Knights: Some people love this series, I just couldn't get into it. There's nothing really bad about it or anything, Stygian is such a good-natured, kind stallion that I love seeing him trying to be bad, but the dark atmosphere and mean-spirited nature of the world just doesn't do it for me.

• My Little Pony: Spirit of the Forest: Not bad or anything, but felt like a kind of "nothing" storyline. It didn't really do much for the characters or world, and what it did was already kinda done in other stories. It's got a real good-natured vibe, the color pallet is great and it's nice to see the real villain of the world for a change, capitalism, but other than than that, it doesn't do much for me.

• My Little Pony (Pucchigumi manga: It's pretty far removed from everything else, but it has a charm of its own. The sheer wackiness and silliness with its manga aesthetics lends itself surprisingly nicely to the tone of FIM and the characters all play off each other wonderfully. It has a nice warmth that's similar to the tone of the first season, but isn't as sentimental.

• My Little Pony: The Manga: Love it! It has a lot of the same kinda silliness as the other manga but has a lot more cute character interactions. The storyline is freaking insane in the est possible way, filled with tons of Dr. Who references. It's awesome.
