This is a fun thread to follow.
My two little sister's collected My Little Ponies. (ages 40&38 respectively lol) There is a bright blue one and a magenta one (both with frizzy mane & tail lol) stuck in the confines of the toy crate that their children play from.
What are the names of these ponies?? Would be fun to know so I might tell the kiddos the pony's stories
OK... I'll remind myself to take time to dig them out.I don't know the ponies from the earlier series. The thing that will help identify which pony they are is their cutie mark which is the illustration on their flank. flower might know who they are since she seems to be pretty familiar with past incarnations of the show. Or if you take a picture of them with their cutie marks visible and post it on the mylittlepony subreddit I'm sure someone there would help you straight away. If you don't want to post it there yourself I'd be happy to post it there for you.

Woah, are those merponies @flower?
Judging by the opening sequence the old MLP was pretty psychedelic.

Hi @invisible,
Thank you for your post. I also used to watch the new My Little Pony in college. It started out as background noise for my calculus homework. If I'm doing something that clinical and dry, I tend to like to have bright colors and joy around for a more balanced environment. I actually started paying attention more than I expected, and I found it quite enjoyable overall. I really appreciate the art form of animation as a whole, whether targeted towards adults or children, and in the case of MLP, I agree that I quite enjoy its positive themes of friendship, personal growth, etc.
Furthermore, I seriously appreciate your commentary on popular television at the moment. The focus seems very imbalanced in the favor of cynicism and manipulation. I find it neither enjoyable nor very interesting most of the time. I would very much enjoy a more balanced depiction of humanity and the world at large -- friendships along with rivalries, love along with passions, etc. I've tried broaching this topic with so many people recently, and few have really shared my opinion, so it feels very nice to see there is someone who relates.
I know you don't watch a lot of television, but some other currently running shows I find to either be more positive or have a more emotionally ranging and captivating balance of themes:
1.) Sense8
2.) Bob's Burgers
Both can be found on Netflix. They are both slow starters but I highly recommend either if you ever are looking. Bob's burgers has strong themes of family and misfits and is quite funny, and Sense8 is highly unique and probably one of the most emotional television shows I've ever seen. It also involves STRONG themes of contentedness and empathy, which I think might be particularly interesting for INJFs in particular. When I watched it, I was in the process of moving and had a couple of unusual free days in a row and ended up just lying on my empty floor marathoning this show sobbing all the way, completely overwhelmed in the best of ways.
I loved reading your post. Thanks for the show recommendations, I'll definitely check them out. Do you have a favourite pony?
Let me know what you think. I don't know that I really have a favorite, but if I had to choose I might go with Pinkie Pie because I appreciate her enthusiasm.
I took the quizzy and got...
But, confession time... I've only watched a couple episodes of the new MLP, so I don't really know the characters that well, only kind of vaguely, and only a handful of them. :x
I did like the old MLP growing up, but my memory of it is fuzzy, although it still makes me feel nostalgic. Fuzzy nostalgia, I guess...
