The My Little Pony universe

So today I'm feeling like exposing a new facet of the brilliant diamond that is my personality, so let's just settle this first: I got a new haircut! It's a lot shorter and a LOT different- very cool. Now onto the facet!
I am a pegasister.
Yep, I like the show My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic! It's one of the fandoms that I enjoy watching videos and reactions of. It's one of the many fandoms I support. And since I'm actually fairly close to their recommended age (8), it's not TOO abnormal, which is the #1 reason for brony hate. Yeah, I really like the fan-iverse as well and some of my favorite background characters include Derpy Hooves and DJ-PON3 (Vinyl Scratch to you and me). I seriously loved/hated the fanfiction Cupcakes. A bit of advice: it is gory. Don't judge a fanfiction by its title. Another one along the same lines is Smile HD! Also gory, but I like it a bit more because it's not an actual fanfiction, just a video of a remix of Pinkie Pie's musical number Smile. Also, speaking of music, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE PMVs. They are so great. Check out TheAcleps (a reccomended YouTuber!) for some seriously cool PMVs made using Adobe After Effects. I love the Lunar Republic. Luna for life! However, one of my favorite fan made songs about the Lunar Oppression- and it's pretty canon, too- is Lullaby For A Princess by WarpOut (a reccomended song and YouTuber!) The video and animation took, I'm not kidding, more than TWO AND A HALF YEARS TO MAKE. No kidding. It is so amazing that a person would put that much effort into a video. The music is by PonyPhonic I believe as well. Everything is hand-drawn, too. Imagining how hard it was... It's really amazing. And it's really powerful in some parts. It made me tear up personally! It was amazingly bittersweet in how it expressed Celestia's lament over banishing her sister, and how she loves her more than anything. It also shows how she got her hair to turn from pink to the glowing pink/purple/green it is now. I really love the style and especially in the first few frames, as the YouTuber Blank Check remarks, "Canterlot had never looked better". I'm listening to it now as I write this. The video's about seven-ish minutes long. It's really cool... Check it out!
I seriously loved episode 100 and I feel like I caught so much just watching other people's commentary. That episode is the ultimate test- if you get the references and TOTALLY LOVE IT, you're in the fandom. If you want more mane six storyline, you're not in the fandom. Or more accurately, let me explain it this way in the style of Dan Howell:
There are fandoms, where you like the series a bit and will talk about it.
Then come the Internet fandoms.
Fanart, fanfiction, fanimation, fan song s, _MVs, et cetera, are contained in this category. If you're a normal fan and value your life and/or soul, do NOT go in without a guide. Trust me, you won't regret taking an Internet fan's help on this.
Anyways. Yeah. I am an Internet fan of MLP: FiM.
Thank you and bye!
Also if you didn't get any of these references, WATCH THE SERIES. It'll clear up most stuff. Also, search the wiki. It's invaluable.
