==Random facts about me==
I'm bringing back early 2000s internet culture baybee.
* I'm a writer and artist, but a pretty crappy artist. I don't really post my illustrations anywhere aside from Discord servers though. I'm currently working on a quasi-analogue horror project known as ''Lady Midnight''.
* I am gay. I love women.
* I discovered MLP when I was a kid and my best friend started watching it.
* My favorite band is The Beatles, followed by Blind Guardian, Steampowered Giraffe, Gorillaz and Dragonforce in no particular order. Favorite solo performer would probably be Crusher-P
* Favorite songs include Act Naturally, Echo in the Mirror, Hey Bulldog, In The Forest, Time Stands Still and RTRT.
* Favorite book is ''America'' by John Wagner.
* My least favorite book is probably ''Warlord of Mars''.
* My favorite writers include John Wagner, Mark Waid and Matt Wagner.
* I'm a huge fan of ''He-Man'', ''Digimon'', ''Star Trek'' and sometimes feel very insecure about how most of my interests aren't as intellectual as I'd want them to be.
* I'm a history buff and amateur folkorist/mythologist. My main points of interests are the Inca Empire, history of entertainment (comics, music, sports) and Paul Bunyan. I'm currently writing a project regarding the history of Bunyan.

==Status==
Gonna be inactive for awhile. A good friend of mine got [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1637956509/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tpbk_p1_i0 his book published] so I've been following my own artsy and literary passions in hopes I to can get my stories publishe. Plus, helping my girlfriend run her own wiki, the [https://portrayal.fandom.com/wiki/Atahualpa Portrayal Wiki], and hanging out with my friend-group which suddenly and unexpectedly grew a lot recently.
==History==
I was born in [[1997]] on [[7 August]], born as '''Jordan'''. I am a {{W|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 transexualitygender identity, 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 love meeting new friends, so you're always free to drop me a message.
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, photographer, amateur voiceYouTuber, actresscomic letterer, and an aspiring fiction writer. My other fandoms include the TMNT, 2000 AD, Superman, Power Girl, Transformers, He-Man, the Peanuts, and the Phantom.

==to-do==
===To do ASAP===
* Cleaning up categories...forever.
* Clean up {{EQG|Twilight Sparkle|Sci-Twi}}
* Work on fixing up [[Special:LonelyPages]] b creating navboxes and lists.
* Fix thumbnails. Guessing something broke?
===Long term projects===
* Write articles for G5 episodes and comics.
** '''Progress:''' God why is this show weekly
* Write articles for new characters and expand old ones.
** '''Progress:''' Getting there...
* Fix up infoboxes to re-include parameters for auto-adding categories. They were just very roughly handled before.
** '''Progress:''' Mostly done, still working out kinks with the character infobox.
* FIX NAVBOXES FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!! I think this one would be easy, just need to reconfigure old code.
** '''Progress:''' No comment.
* Clean up {{FIM|Bon Bon}} to be set as our new standard of page quality/formatting. Basically no differences from current format, except for a more in-depth Appearances and Design sections.
** '''Progress:''' It's getting there...
* Add information regarding [[Ogres and Oubliettes]] and [[Dungeons and Dragons]]
** '''Progress:''' Some major articles done, but still ways to go.
* Creating and expanding on [[My Little Pony home media|home media]] pages.
* Merge / delete the following categories:
** Wives and brides, Husbands and grooms, girlfriends, boyfriends -> [[:Category:Significant others]]
** Brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts -> [[:Category:Siblings]]
* Mothers and fathers can maybe stay.
 
===Over time stuff===
* Add pages for
** Toy magazines
*** Toys World
*** Toys R Us Magazine
*** What little MLP magazines I can find.
** MLP Books
*** Bibliography of [[Lyn Fletcher]].
** Episodes
** Toylines
* Organize a grand list of changes to help organize, label, and run things better.
* Research the old My Little Pony fandom, to eventually add fandom pages!
* Browse '''[[Special:LonelyPages]]'''. Some pages need to be deleted and all the others need to be connected somehow. For now through the use of navboxes.
 
===Images to replace===
====Character images====
We naturally gravitated towards face-shots rather then body shots, so some images look slightly out of place when used in galleries like voice actors. A list of these images are:
* {{EQG|Trixie Lulamoon}}
* {{EQG|[[Vignette Valencia}}]]
* {{FIM|Tirek}}
* {{FIM|Autumn Blaze}}
 
====Staff images====
* [[Gabriel Brown]] - Was really into the notion of 'image HAS to be related to MLP in some way' but the current image is awful lol.
* [[Claire Corlett]] - Was used because it's a free file on Wikimedia, thus I didn't have to upload it. However, her having a pic of her as a child is a little weird given how the articles briefly go into her current personal life.

* [[Venus Terzo]] - Image just looks weird.
 
===Images to find===
* [[Ulla Ollikainen]]. She portrayed a nurse in the movie Päivää, herra Kivi, which I cannot find any footage of...

===My Little Pony Hind dub===
So for some reason, the Hindi dub of ''[[My Little Pony]]'' is weirdly elusive. My girlfriend is a native Hindi speaker from India so I may have to rely on her for help...but we don't even know if the dub exists.
: I've asked her abut it twice, but she doesn't remember t ever airing. She is really into cartoons, so I'd think she would've at least heard of it.
 
Here's what weI've knowfond so far:.
* [https://iep.fandom.com/wiki/My_Little_Pony:_Friendship_Is_Magic_(Hindi) Aired on] {{W|hi:पोगो|Pogo}} assuming this is accurate. IEP is ''usually'' reliable but all fan wikis run the risk of being edited by whoever.
* [https://www.primevideo.com/gp/video/detail/My-Little-Pony-La-Magia-de-la-Amistad/0OJTE8HGCM5OO4GE1ILPYS7VBJ/ref=atv_nb_lcl_nl_NL?persistLanguage=1&language=hi_IN&token=g0uvP2sEtq8DmyJ03tYtyFJEcdW40NPXUabkwPRQpn4RAAAADAAAAABeE6DWcmF3AAAAABVX8CwXqz4nuL9RKX%2F%2F%2Fw%3D%3D&ie=UTF8 First season available for streaming on Indian Amazon Prime] with Hindi audio.
** The MLP Fandom wiki lists [[Shaily Dubey]] as voicing {{FIM|[[Gallus}}]], so Season7Season episodes7 werematerial was dubbed? No sources so manymaybe fanon.
*** {{W|Little Singham|Shaily Dubey seems like a real person}}. Unfortunately, Indian pop-culture articles on Engliish Wikipedia tend to be horribly written and under-detailed so I can't find much more then that.
* Pinkie Pie's Hindi name is पिंकी पाई apparently; useful for searching. We also have names for Trixie (ट्रिक्सी) and Rarity (रारिटी) but their names are generic enough to come up with other results.
* Hindi Wikipedia has no reference to पिंकी पाई.
* According to my girlfriends, Pogo is basically the 'dump channel', any kids show that none of the other networks want goes there. Maybe explains why the content there hasn't been dubbed.
* Pogo is apparently an English language channel?
 
{{Blue|Theory}}
Asked my girlfriend about it, said she didn't think it aired there.
: My general theory so far is the show has no special dub in India. Maybe some promotional material got dubbed or they made their own promos and that's where we're getting this information from.
: Current theories: The showis English dubbed but with Hindi voiced other stuff (opening, commercials, stuff like that)
 
==Opinions and stuff==
Line 66 ⟶ 189:
 
I'm crappy at explaining things, so please do bare with me.
 
===Notes to self===
Some resources say [[Rhino Entertainment]] was doing ''My Little Pony'' VHSs as early as 1987. I don't ''think'' this is true since I'm pretty sure they're actually from 2006 but the content ON the VHS (the shows) was copyrighted 1987. Or something. I don't get why they're copyrighted like that.
* Little known fact -- 2006 is kind of the "twilight" of VHS's. Most people assume they died in the 90s but they stuck around as a budget competitor for DVDs until the mid 2000s.
Always make sure to check WorldCat and Wikipedia sources critically. They get stuff wrong all the time.
 
===When I think Pony is at its best===
I think the ''My Little Pony'' franchise is at its best when it's portraying a surprisingly realistic sense of comrade among a group of people. Generation 1 had this to an extent, mostly with Megan and her friends, but this was done best in Generation 4. The dynamic between a massive cast of characters is handed incredibly well. There's a lot of whimsy and magic involved, but the core concept of just ''people'' hanging around each other is still executed very well. These characters really do feel like real individuals; they have jobs, families, goals and aspirations not necessarily connected to their friends, love-lives, school-lives, you name it. It feels like we follow the day in lives of these characters, rather than just short, cute stories, but those still have their places.
 
I also love how the series can balance this ''realness'' with some great fantasy and adventure. We get these great character dynamics, and cool dragons! And sometimes, the dragons feel just as real as everyone else.
 
===Cartoons===
* ''[[My Little Pony 'n Friends]]:'' This is honestly a really fun show! The biggest appeal of 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 notable people involved, like Nancy Cartwright and some writers for freakin ''Disney'' films.
Line 122 ⟶ 250:
<nowiki>*</nowiki> I know ''Equestria Girls'' was entirely made to push a new line of human dolls, but still. The other films are far more subtle about it than ''Rainbow Rocks'' and don't get in the way nearly as much.
 
===Unpopular opinions===
<!-->https://static.miraheze.org/mylittleponywiki/1/11/Equestripedia_logo.png Logo link so I dont misplace it</-->
* Snails is the most fleshed out and nuanced character in the franchise. I am dead serious.
* Sunset Shimmer is a terribly written character, but that's also kind of what makes her one of my favorites. Writers can never figure out what she's really ''like'', and so she can work in pretty much every scenario in the series or fanfic. It's great.
 
==Amelia rants about ponies because she's a grown woman==
It really bugs me how boilerplate MLP's social media is. Even more then other Hasbro brands. You think with a fandom as ravenous as this, they'd put iin some effort.
 
Also bugs me that for Pride Month, they just slapped LGBT colors on a stock image of characters that we dont even know anything about yet. We have plenty of gay characters as is...well, only like four not countiing random ones Hasbro probably doesn't even know about like [[Sappho]], but still.
 
No one gets upset about the insertion that [[Alizarin Bubblegum]] and [[Celery Stalk]] are probably romantically inclined given the unsaid but clear implications in their interactions, but mentioning [[Wiz Kid]] and [[Curly Winds]] may also be in romantically connected when they cuddle and blush in each others presence is too much apparently.
