For the readers of EqE, hey if you missed the last blogpost i did, here it is.
or, you know, tl;dc: yesterday knighty gave us an anthology tag so now i have an opportunity of posting a bunch of stories not related to each other in terms of plot within the EqE universe.
Six years ago today a cartoon show literally no one believed in (not even its own production staff initially), aired for the first time. It was from a franchise the general public had largely written off a long time ago. It was criticized and ridiculed before it ever aired. By all accounts, there was absolutely no reason for this show to be decent, let alone phenomenal.
But Lauren Faust sparked a fire that swiftly spread to everyone around her. They poured more passion and hard work into My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic than any outsider would think necessary.
It became a worldwide phenomenon, inspired millions of artists of all trades, raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charities, united countless friendships, spread genuine good throughout the globe, and is arguably one of the most culturally significant cartoons of all time.
And they’re really friggin’ cute to boot. ~finalskies
I would have added "A year later Faust would turn her back on the show after throwing a shitfit, leaving the new directors to be faulted for everything while juggling the demands that Faust couldn't handle. Under the new leadership the show improved drastically, but the fandumb couldn't see past their tin statue of Fausticorn."

4250853 A pessimistic flavor with some hint of truth.
4250858 M.A. Larson was a much better director, and I'm sad to see him go.
I love that Pinkie Pie gif.
And I'm proud to be part of this fandom.
4250868 ye he was a cool dud
4250907 Pixel animations are just my kind of aesthetic.
4250918 Had some rough moments here and there, but I don't regret spending time with the fandom.
4250918 I'm not.
4250944 Agreed.
4250954 Why is that?
4250961 Because it's all autistic hugboxy sperglords or complete fucking acidic assholes bent on destroying everything.
4250965 This is the internet. You'll find them everywhere.
4250966 in much higher concentrations in the pony fandom.
4250965 Eh, to each their own.
4250970 Sure. Because the fandom has millions of people. How much you wanna bet they bleed into other fandoms you're in?
4250986 I'm not in any other fandumbs
4250993 So you say. Well alright then I see no reason to continue this further. Your deal isn't my problem anyway.
4250944 I like them as well. :)
4250970 very true but the undertail and 5naf fandoms are still the most cancerous.
