There is no real answer here. As even admitted by the cast and crew, there isn't another fandom that has ever existed like this. Everyone will tell you "oh, the writing is great, it's well-animated, the voice acting is superb", and that's all true, but that doesn't explain why it hit the way it did. There is no one answer that can be explained. It just happened to be a perfect storm.
Speaking of, was that thing I saw about a Carebears reboot, and them trying to call fans "Carebeys" or something like that, real?
Same here with writing. Still stuck in one spot, and too lazy and picky to move on and come back to it.
I miss those times.
My urge to draw died about the moment I realized I can't. :P
Well yeah. There's that too.
The MLP fan community is easily the nicest, most amazing group of human beings I've ever encountered.
It almost makes me... uh... NOT-ashamed to be human. Yeah.
That reminds me, I was down at my local Games Workshop store like a week ago to buy some new paint and some brushes so I could paint my new Tyranids, and I saw a boy and his mother buying a Warhammer Fantasy starter set and such.
But when his mother asked what paints he wanted, he replied "But mom, I have no idea how to paint". Reminded me so much of you Fillyshy picture that I stood and giggled over at the Warhammer 40k shelf
Evenin' ponies.
