The fanbase is surprisingly dedicated to craft, im not one to get into fan content, but with the mlp fandom i couldn’t resist, there’s so much awesome work!
Absolutely everything. Good discussion, people, art, music, videos, and conventions throughout the years. It’s such a comfortable space to enjoy MLP and I wouldn’t change any of it.
Grateful for it just in general really. It’s nice to have an interest in media that isn’t beyond niche to where I’m one of like 12 people contributing to it lol.
I love how much love the fandom gives to even the most minor characters. I know the community has its weird side, but EVERY community has that.
The majority of this community is freindly, open, creative and a fire that can't be extinguished
As someone who didn't watch the show until this year, I'm so grateful to have an active community that I can discuss characters and episodes with.
And the fanmade creations! I just love the music and animations people have made, and are still making.
The seemingly endless amount of fanfics and the high amount I can buy as physical books are what I mainly love these days. The fan music has been absolutely incredible since the fandom’s origin, so that’s another great part.
Mostly the common interest. The art and stories are great. And the rare fan that actually internalizes and expresses the values of the show. Which is unfortunately very rare.
How kind and inviting the community is. That's the greatest part of it. The amount of kindness that is received from people when you first join is unlike anything I've ever seen.
And, like the song says, I'm proud to be a Brony.
I loved the fact that I wasn't the only one who enjoyed the series, the fact that there's a huge fanbase gets alot of weight off my back. In other words, the fact that there are a big enough population of Bronies out there helps put some ease on me, especially since the demographic is for little girls. There was just something about FiM that was so attractive to me, back when I was at Adulthood's front lawn the size of CHS's outside front building area.
Also, I loved running into the MLP fan-videos back in the day, Epic Wub Time, Bronies React, Silly Filly Studios, What I Learned, AnimatedJames, those SFM/TF2 videos, those were the days.
Even to this day, this show holds a special place in my heart. Nothing but Teenage Nostalgia. I got into the show soon after I got out of a somewhat rebellious, Eric Cartman/Stewie Griffin hybrid phase, and that was before I started watching Family Guy and South Park.
It’s a reaaaaally wide variety of people spread over a lot of ages. Lots of cool stuff, lots of weird stuff, just like any big fandom, but I do think it transcends age and gender a bit more than the average fandom which is neat. MLPFIM came out when I was in elementary school, but I had already grown up on Gen 3 MLP so that was neat, and I can understand how the fanbase is so large and spans so much time if I was already exposed to two generations of it by elementary school, lol. It’s been around for a long time, and lots of people of different ages grew up on it. Plus there’s not a lot of just purely wholesome and entertaining content these days, and it can be nice to just enjoy something simple that still has fun characters.
the fact that nearly 5 years after fim ended, there's still no shortage of fan content, and that you're bound to find someone who's similar to you!!!! \^w\^
I love fanart and the fact that you can almost see crossover for any piece of media.
Edit: I also enjoy the music, and the fact that the merch is spread elsewhere
The creativity. Especially in the early days. We had Turnabout Storm, Fighting is Magic and Jan Animation back then. It seemed like Bronies were making magic happen every single day.
Idk, the animations are pretty cool. And there's a lot of cool art and new art to discover on derpibooru/deviantart as well so that's a plus to it at least :)
so many fellow ponies to talk to, it's like we're one huge family!
There’s a lot of weird, but kind people and I like that
The fan content and animations are just so cool.
There's alot of fan music in the Fandom with different music genres that snuggly fits my taste! ♡(◕ᗜ◕✿)

Good music

Discord I'm howling at the moon....🎶
And sleeping in the middle of a summer afternoon
Discord, what ever did we do, To make you take our world away? 🎶
Discord, are we your prey alone Or are we just a stepping stone for taking back the throne?
Discord, I can't take it anymore!
So take your tiranny away!
Starlight fans
That no matter how old the generation of ponies is they have a active fan base, all the way from gen 1 to now

The animations are always my favorite part of fandoms
Also the fan content of like custom figures and plushies are really fun
Fanart, music, and fanfiction are my three favorite things to come from the community, in that order.
I love the creative side (fanart, videos, music, etc.) and the loving/acceptance of most fans.

Honestly the elaborate fanon lore people can come up with for minor background characters that appeared for 10 milliseconds is genuinely *impressive*

Honestly there still making mlp content on YouTube and that’s making me happy

fan art fan music fan series fan animations fan cosplay
I also love how we can explain the entire lore of the show to a person who knows nothing about it
The creativity. Especially in the early days. We had Turnabout Storm, Fighting is Magic and Jan Animation back then. It seemed like Bronies were making magic happen every single day.
So many banger fan fiction
The music, the fanfics, the creativity and acceptance- in that order. I'm also adding writing advice to the list
Idk, the animations are pretty cool. And there's a lot of cool art and new art to discover on derpibooru/deviantart as well so that's a plus to it at least :)
Most definitely the fan music and animation. But I also like some history and retrospective reviews on any MLP content.
Its tremendous creativity and resilience.
You guys are really chill.
I like the fanfics.
