MLP QUIZ! (feel free to post this on your userpage!)

Fav characters? Sunset Shimmer, Fluttershy, Rarity, Adagio Dazzle, Applejack, Discord, Twilight Sparkle (Seasons 1-4), Lord Tirek, Maud Pie, Spike, Princess Cadance, Shining Armor, Flurry Heart, Scootaloo, Queen Chrysalis, Big Mac, Gloriosa Daisy, Sonata Dusk, Trixie, King Sombra, Capper, Autumn Blaze, Sweetie Belle, Cheese Sandwich, the Storm King (guilty pleasure), Ember, Saffron Masala, Sugarcoat, Minuette, Pear Butter, Bulk Biceps and Kerfuffle

Least fav characters? Starlight Glimmer, Wallflower Blush, Stygian, Juniper Montage, Vignette Valencia, Cozy Glow, Tempest Shadow, Diamond Tiara, Stellar Flare, Firelight, Bow Hothoof, Windy Whistles, Spitfire, the Wonderbolts, Babs Seed, Prince Rutherford, Rumble, Lightning Dust, the Pillars, Grubber, Principal Cinch, PostCrush, Zesty Gourmand, Quibble Pants (pre-Season 9) and Garble (pre-Season 9)

Fav background pony? Minuette

Least fav background pony? Derpy. One animation error and her saying "muffins" in the background and suddenly she's best pony? Bronies are dumb.

Fav Mane Six member? Fluttershy. But Rarity and Applejack come pretty close.

Least fav Mane Six member? Twilight Sparkle, mostly because of how she was written in the last few seasons. I don't dislike any of the Mane Six, it's just that someone has to come last.

Fav CMC? Scootaloo

Least fav CMC? Probably Apple Bloom by default.

Fav princess? Cadance. She's just so chill. It used to be Twilight until after Season 4 when she became a narrow-minded, dogmatic moron who believes friendship can solve literally every problem and has now turned the whole concept of friendship into a faith that everyone must conform to.

Least fav princess? Luna. One, her fanbase is insane. Two, she put all of Equestria in danger just so she could continue wallowing in her guilt instead of getting psychological help.

Most overrated character? Derpy and Luna (see above).

Most underrated character? Princess Cadance and King Sombra.

Fav season? Season 4

Least fav season? Season 8.

Fav episode? Twilight's Kingdom. But It Ain't Easy Being Breezies, Gauntlet of Fire, Amending Fences and Griffon the Brush Off come close.

Least fav episode? A tie between A Rockhoof And A Hard Place and Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep. As someone with a friend who suffered from suicidal thoughts years ago, these sorts of things are not easily swept away just because someone gives you a hug and says "we love you, stop being depressed". It DOES NOT work like that.

Most okay episode? Applejack's "Day" Off, I guess.

Most forgettable episode? Uncommon Bond. Honestly, the moment the credits started rolling, I forgot about it instantly. It was just in one ear and out the other.

Fav episode focused on your fav Mane Six member? It Ain't Easy Being Breezies, Fluttershy Leans In and Hurricane Fluttershy.

Fav episodes focused on the other Mane Six? RARITY: Sisterhooves Social. RAINBOW DASH: Tanks for the Memories. APPLEJACK: The Last Roundup and Sounds of Silence. TWILIGHT SPARKLE: Twilight's Kingdom and Amending Fences. PINKIE PIE: Griffon the Brush Off.

And the CMC? Ponyville Confidential.

Don't forget Spike. Gauntlet of Fire, Equestria Games and Inspiration Manifestation.

How about Starlight? HA! Okay, fine, All Bottled Up.

Any episode you hate but everyone else loves? Every Little Thing She Does, Road to Friendship, Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep, Shadow Play and A Royal Problem.

The other way around? It Ain't Easy Being Breezies, Hearts and Hooves Day and Equestria Games.

How about a episode everyone loves but you find good/okay? A Hearth's Warming Tail and The Break Up Break Down.

Any guilty pleasure episodes? Power Ponies. I know the superpowers are pretty much exaggerated or downplayed versions of their abilities they already have. I know it would've been funnier if they satirised superhero clichés. I know it would've been more interesting if the Mane-iac had come into Equestria. I know it makes the Mane Six incompetent in order to make Spike useful. I know the consistency is off with Rarity mastering her new superpower right away while Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Twilight were having trouble mastering powers/weapons they've pretty much had their whole lives. I know it's an incredibly stupid filler episode... but I'm a sucker for superheroes.

Any episode you didn't like at first but grew to like when you watched it again? A Dog and Pony Show.

Have you ever skipped an episode? She's All Yak. From the moment I read the premise, I could predict everything that was going to happen. I've seen the story done so many times, it's ridiculous.

Fav season premiere and finale? The Return of Harmony and Twilight's Kingdom.

Least fav premiere and finale? Celestial Advice and School Raze.

Fav song? A tie between I'm The Friend You Need, This Day Aria, My Past Is Not Today, A Kirin Tale and Welcome to the Show.

Least fav song? A tie between Flawless ("Stop criticising our characters! They're not perfect so shut up!") and Invisible (because fuck Wallflower Blush).

Best villain? Adagio Dazzle. But Discord, Tirek and Midnight Sparkle come pretty damn close.

Worst villain? Starlight Glimmer. Her childish philosophy of "don't be different or your friendship will die", the fact she started an anti-cutie marks death cult and enslaved ponies to her will before messing with the fabrics of time all because of her pathetic motivation of her friend moving away as a kid, her forced redemption she didn't earn or deserve, the lack of consequences for her past and current awful actions, her bland personality compared to the Mane Six and/or characters she gets paired with, the way the show contrives situations for her to be special by making the other characters useless/stupid and how much of a blatantly obvious Creators Pet she is. Fuck. Her.

Best tertiary antagonist? Trixie. The best thing about Boast Busters and a ton of fun in the episodes she'd had lately. Snarky, theatrical, over-the-top egocentric yet still has a good heart, rags on Worst Pony and makes her life a living hell. What's not to love?

Worst tertiary antagonist? Diamond Tiara. Making us sit through five years of her being an insufferable brat before hastily stapling "I'm sad, feel sorry for me" onto her in Crusaders of the Lost Mark and giving her a snapshot redemption? No thanks.

Do you like the first Equestria Girls movie? No, although it isn't terrible or unwatchable. It's mediocre at best. And definitely worth sitting through to get to the much-better sequel!

What about Rainbow Rocks? YES! A major improvement over the first movie!

And Friendship Games? I like Rainbow Rocks just a little bit more, but I still find this movie pretty damn great!

Don't forget Legend of Everfree! Friendship Games is slightly better but this was pretty good too. Especially Gloriosa!

How about the three specials? I think Dance Magic and Movie Magic are both pretty good! Mirror Magic, on the other hand... (deep annoyed sigh)

Forgotten Friendship? Everything about it is great and adorable, but sadly the villain Wallflower's actions are a catalyst that drives the entire story and as such, she dampens my enjoyment of it severely.

Rollercoaster of Friendship? The special is so unapologetically ship-tastic but the terrible unneeded villain brings it down.

Spring Breakdown? First half was unbearably slow and Rainbow was kind of an idiot but decent enough overall.

Sunset's Backstage Pass? Glad the Dazzlings weren't reformed, but they should've been the villains and Pinkie should've been way less annoying.

And finally, Holidays Unwrapped? Bummed as I am that the Equestria Girls franchise never got a proper ending, this was still pretty fun.

Speaking of movies, what about the 2017 movie? It's not especially strong when compared to the other premieres and finales but I'm still glad I saw it.

Fav shippings? TwiSet, RariJack, SunDagio, AppleDash, CheesePie (on occasion) and Starlight Glimmer x Actual Consequences.

Least fav shippings? Sparity, TwiLuna, StarTrix, StarBurst and any ship that pairs an adult with a child.

Any characters you didn’t like but grew to like as the series progressed? Rarity.

If you could remove one meme from the fandom, what would it be? "Applejack is best background pony". So what if she doesn't have crazy moments like Twilight or isn't random and crazy like Pinkie? She's honest, strong and hardworking, acts as the voice of reason, is very encouraging towards her friends, never backs down from a fight, is a great second-in-command to Twilight, willingly ventures into danger to save others, has her moments of stubbornness but still strives to look after her family and loves for her little sister with all her heart. So SHUT. IT.

Can you name anyone you would've wanted to guest star on the show? Idina Menzel, Patrick Stewart, Liam Neeson, Kristen Wiig, Jenny Slate, Anna Kendrick and Ian McKellen. (I know that's too many, bite me, they're awesome)

And finally, what about a guest star to voice a one-time villain? Tony Todd, Steven Blum, Tim Curry, John Noble, Grey Delisle, Clancy Brown, Ron Perlman, Mark Hamill or Keith David.

How DID I become a fan of the show?

In early 2013, I was chatting with one of my Fanfiction friends, A Kiss of Winter, and since they're extremely kooky and incredibly hyperactive, they randomly said "I'm watching My Little Pony right now! :D" I didn't know there was a new MLP show on TV, so I assumed they were talking about the G3 version which I couldn't stand when I was a kid. Whenever one of those toy commercials came on TV in the early 2000s, I would either change the channel or tauntingly call it "My Stupid Pony". Immature, I know.

Then one day, I was on a random YouTube video and in the comment section, I saw a positive comment from someone with a pony avatar, which I thought was some weirdly-drawn horse. And he'd gotten a boatload of replies saying stuff like "get lost, brony f**". And I thought, "What the hell is a brony? Is that a misspelling of 'brownie'? Can't anyone spell anything right on the Internet nowadays?" But the fact that every reply mentioned this word made me so curious, so I looked it up in case it was actually a thing. And I was shocked to discover this whole fandom of adults creating artwork, making music and videos, writing fanfiction, chatting on forums, watching and actually liking this new show "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic".

I certainly didn't HATE the show, I wasn't one of those trolls who went on a random pony video just to insult people in the comments. But it wasn't something that peaked my interest either, so I avoided checking it out. But overtime, after Season 3 had ended and Equestria Girls had just been released, my curiosity finally got the better of me so I looked up a few fanmade works and even watched a couple of clips from the show. And I thought, "Huh, it seems innocent enough, it's not annoying or stereotypically girly".

So eventually in July of 2013, I finally decided to check out a few episodes and see what made this show so great. So I got up some random episodes on my laptop (I remember the very first one I watched was A Dog And Pony Show and the very first song I heard was Bad Seed) and sat through them one by one. And I was pleasantly surprised to find myself actually enjoying them. So I thought to myself "Y'know what? I think I'll marathon the whole series".

And that's exactly what I did. I started from the very first episode and watched every single one late every night without my family knowing until I got to the first Equestria Girls movie. And I ended up loving it. And once I'd finished, I threw up my arms and said "I admit it, I'm excited for Season 4. I like this show."

And now here I am, over 200 episodes later. :)

FAVOURITE QUOTES

“I heard this story about a fish. He swims up to an older fish and says: “I’m trying to find this thing they call the ocean.” “The ocean?” the older fish says, “that’s what you’re in right now.” “This”, says the young fish, “this is water. What I want is the ocean!"Dorothea Williams

"When I was a kid, I thought Zootopia was this perfect place where everyone got along and anyone could be anything. Turns out, real life's a little bit more complicated than a slogan on a bumper sticker. Real life is messy. We all have limitations. We all make mistakes. Which means, hey, glass half full. We all have a lot in common. And the more we try to understand one another, the more exceptional each of us will be. But we have to try. So no matter what type of animal you are, from the biggest elephant to our first fox, I implore you: Try. Try to make the world a better place. Look inside yourself and recognize that change starts with you. It starts with me. It starts with all of us." - Judy Hopps

"Look, kid, everyone wants to believe they're 'chosen'. But if we all waited around for a prophecy to make us special, we'd die waiting. And that's why you need to choose yourself." - Eda Clawthorne

“A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory.”Leonard Nimoy

“You’re only given a little spark of madness. You mustn’t lose it.” Robin Williams

"I used to be embarrassed because I was just a comic-book writer while other people were building bridges or going on to medical courses. And then I began to realise: entertainment is one of the most important things in people's lives. Without it, they might go off the deep end. I feel that if you're able to entertain people, you're doing a good thing." - Stan Lee

"Go into the arts. I'm not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something." - Kurt Vonnegut

"None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Eat the delicious food. Walk in the sunshine. Jump in the ocean. Say the truth that you’re carrying in your heart like hidden treasure. Be silly. Be kind. Be weird. There’s no time for anything else." - Anthony Hopkins

"If you think your teacher’s tough, wait ‘til you get a boss."Bill Gates

"If you have to explain a joke, there is no joke!"The Joker

"You can't just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!" - Robot Devil

"Best friends... you cry, I cry. You fight, I fight. You hurt, I hurt. You jump off a bridge... I get a paddle and save your (R-slur)ed ass."The Princess Rarity

"If you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a change. Hoo." - Michael Jackson Batman

"It gets easier. Every day, it gets a little easier. But you gotta do it everyday. That's the hard part. But it does get easier." - Jogging Baboon
