Happy birthday to the version of Pony that made my life more than a little brighter.
These hoofed ruminates (and their humanoid counterparts) will always have a special place in my heart.
I write pony words that people seem to like. I also review fics and draw purty pictures, apperently. I'm an older fan of MLP, so expect a lot of 80's references.

I remember the two incidents that sold me on MLP.
The first was in 2014 when one of my two daughters was home from daycare. She wanted to watch MLP on one of my workstation monitors, and I just kept writing code on the other. From out of nowhere ... I am hearing Pinkie Pie unfolding and they threw in the transformers sound effect. Now, not only did I have to rewatch that one scene about twenty times, but I knew straight away that there was no way that they added that sound bite in there for my five-year-old. That's for me!
Fast forward a year or so, and we've moved from Australia to the US. I walk into the lounge with the kids watching MLP ... and it's "that" episode where you have Mulitiplicity-inspired Pinkies all over the screen ... and I had to go and lie down! Bang! Sold!
I've had a Pinkie on my work desk ever since!!!!

I've had several Pinkies populating my desks over the years. Along with a bunch of other horses and not-horses.
Both of those episodes still put a big grin on my face. Pinkie, when done well, is one of the show's most powerful & effective characters. There's reason why she shows up in a lot of my writing.

Thanks to those two incidents, I now have an entire shelf of my curio cabinet stuffed-to-the-gunwales with Pinkie Pies.
Directly above that? My trophies for EMT work, military rifle and pistol competitions, and various adult ... things.
All in the one cabinet!
I hear you - if Pinkie is performed correctly, you have a cartoon character who breaks the fourth wall and manages to contrive to violate CARTOON physics. Meeeeeeeeeeeeesa like-a diiiiiiiiiiis!
