After my high school obsession with Powerpuff Girls, I really shouldn’t be that surprised that I was assimilated into the Brony herd so quickly. However, I think that it takes a bit more tact to explain a 26 yr old man watching, drawing, and blogging about magical ponies than it does to explain a 14 yr old fanboy of an ironic comedy about little superheroes. At any rate, the time has come for my new self-portrait. Yup, you guessed it… I’m a pony in it. Deal with it.
BRONY (bro-nee):
Typically the term for older or grown-up, male fans of the "My little Pony" franchise. But since there is no common and nalog term for female fans of the show, brony can as well be used gender-neutral.
Brony 1: Well, although I am male and grown-up, I actually like watching this new "My little Pony" show.
Brony 2: Don't worry, it's cool! We also do. Welcome to the herd, brony.
Brony 1: What's your favorite pony?
Brony 2: Fluttershy, cause she's just so cute!
Brony 3: Hey man, those are fighting words. Rarity is obviously the best pony!
Brony 2: What are you going to do?
Brony 3: I'm gonna love and tolerate the crap out of you.

Today, I’m afraid to admit that I too have been assimilated into the herd of very secure “Bronies". I really need to get a job and soon before I start watching Disney channel sitcoms on top of this! Anyway, Here’s some of my recently drawn and prettyly colored proof of my newly adopted lifestyle choice…
