Fluttershy has that effect on ponies. <3 I loved her the moment I saw her in Epsiode 1. - - Auto Merge - - The first hiatus was a golden age.
Yeah I noticed that when a Season of the show ends and we are all waiting several months for the next Season to begin that's when we get alot of really great fan animations and fan made music to tide of over in the mean time.
To be honest, I don't really regret not being part of the fandom earlier. The wait time between seasons and episodes would've probably killed me.
Well to be honest while I didn't know about the fandom until a few days after I finally decided to watch the show I knew about the show several months before that, that's why I wish I decided to watch the show earlier and also join the Brony fandom earlier as a result.
I'd been planning to watch it for a while. I'd seen images in chickensmoothie user signatures. First I thought it was something aimed at 9-year-olds like Hannah Montanna. Nek minit, I've joined the herd. xD
I do kinda wish I had found it sooner, but I got in pretty soon after S1 ended so consider me fashionably late ha. I found out about MLP while surfing the cheezburger network looking at memes, found out how widespread it was and decided to see what was up. Prolly took me a week or two after that, but I finally got around to watching the first episode on youtube. After the first couple episodes I was hooked and wanted to find a forum to discuss my newfound insanity with other peeps, and this just so happened to be the first forum I found. Which I consider to be pretty lucky, since you guys make this forum an awesome place to be. ^.^
I don't wish I came earlier, I wish I was older at the same point, even by just a year or two. It's a sad thought to me that the show will probably end before I'm in my twenties...
Sooner for me. At the time I joined I was very much involved in other things, but at the same time I joined I had enormous amounts of focus and motivation for the things I enjoyed... but I was also caught up in a lot of drama offline that had little to do with me but affected my life regardless. Anyway, I feel if I was involved sooner it would've led to some critical, positive things happening for me sooner.
Psychosomatic is a term in regards to a mental problem that causes physical problems. It's most commonly found in the form of stress, so I'm assuming he's referring to a high level of stress he either had or still has that affected him before he gave the show a chance. As for me, I pretty much gave it a shot immediately, so I've got no regret to give.
Same thing happened with this show that happens with every other fandom I've jumped into. I resist the fandom, until a friend pulls me aside and shows me something awesome that makes me want to give the show a chance. It's happened with Dr. Who, Homestuck, Supernatural, and Ponies. However, I do regret not joining the show sooner. If I had joined up earlier I would have had the chance to meet up with quite a few other people that is no longer available to me now.
Really I regret not waiting longer, I got into it in the middle of the second season. So I was able to watch all the episodes out and then I had to wait for the rest of the season one week per episode
