Thoughts on Bronies

I've had a good time with this thread, its been really fun actually

[GrinningYMIR]

I know we've already said it, but I must reiterate my distaste for the mysterious mare do well, one of the episodes that revolves around my favorite character, and she, along with everypony else, becomes a bitch

[Hydra009]

Dash's main positive trait (besides authenticity and loyalty) is confidence.  She believes in herself and inspires confidence in others.  And while Dash has always been confident bordering on arrogant, that was a very mean-spirited way to humble Dash.  And the Mare Do Well antics quickly went from deflating her ego to actually hurting her self-confidence.

And speaking of Dashed dreams, how about the Wonderbolts?  Dash almost drops out of the Wonderbolts Academy in protest, then she's deceived by them in Rainbow Falls (they exaggerated an injury to get Dash on their team, depriving the Ponyville team of its best flier, an episode which practically vilified them), then she's taking a test to get into the Wonderbolts Reserves.  She's on quite the roller coaster with them!  The rest of the mane six are well on their way to achieving their dreams (Twilight's definitely in the lead there, with Rarity not far behind), but Dash's dream seems to be permanently stymied.

Dashed dreams..heh heh

Like you said, Dash is loyal and believes in her own abilities and the abilities of others. Mare do Well was supposed to be a "hey, don't be arrogant" thing, but instead it came off as a confidence crushing abandonment episode.

She has a hero worship for the Wonderbolts, she idolizes them utterly, ignoring their faults. They were more than willing to abandon Soarin and take her on after they convinced both of them he couldn't fly. She's trying to get into the reserves despite the fact that she has shown discomfort in their ranks. And on top of that, the Wonderbolts showed a lack of tactical ability when they attacked Tirek head on (seriously, what in their right mind convinced them to attack a being who literally sucks the magic out of everything directly?)

I imagine they'll make her a Wonderbolt eventually, maybe in the last episode when they all go their separate ways but remain friends, because you know that's how they'll end it. But I'm hoping she eventually learns that being a Wonderbolt isn't all its cracked up to be, and she'll realize that even though she doesn't have the fancy uniform, she's a true representation of what a pegasi should be. Even if she's cocky.

Luna is a adorable too, probably one of my top 10 favorites in the show

I'm not sure if this belongs in here or on the Dafuq thread, but I was wandering around the community page I'm part of and I saw a thread on RP (Tis a Brony page obviously) and I'm like okay, this looks interesting. I pulled one of these

I've made it to season 2, and I have to admit, it puts me in a relatively good mood which makes it easier to sleep.

[GrinningYMIR]

Glad to hear it, its made me less depressed in recent months. And it gets better every season

I'm happy you've enjoyed it

The theories have begun !

WHAT IS THIS ABOMINATION?!

[Hydra009]

The toy line generally has only a loose connection to the show, for some unfathomable reason.  Took them forever to make a Princess Celestia that wasn't pink and a Princess Luna that didn't look like a palette-swapped Rarity with wings.

But I managed to snag a show-accurate Princess Luna figurine as a Christmas gift to myself:
