Ponychan
Since the 2010 debut of '' My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic'', numerous online communities have emerged to support the show's adult fandom (commonly known as ''bronies''). These communities span dedicated websites, imageboards, social media platforms, and specialized repositories for creative content. Even after the conclusion of the television series in 2019, online spaces dedicated to ''Friendship Is Magic'' have remained active, with some experiencing increased engagement during the COVID-19 lockdowns of 2020. List of fan community websites Equestria Daily Established in January 2011 by Shaun Scotellaro (known online as "Sethisto"), Equestria Daily is one of the largest and most influential news sites in the brony community.

Imageboard
An imageboard is a type of Internet forum that focuses on the posting of images, often alongside text and discussion. The first imageboards were created in Japan as an extension of the textboard concept. These sites later inspired the creation of a number of English-language imageboards. Characteristics Imageboards, similar to bulletin board systems, are used for discussions of a variety of topics. The primary focus of imageboards, however, is directed away from text posts, and is instead placed on picture posts. The two share many of the same structures, including separate forums for separate topics, as well as similar audiences. Imageboards are much more transitory with content—on some boards (especially highly trafficked ones), the thread deletion time can be as little as 10 minutes. The most popular English language imageboard, 4chan, similarly has a large variety of topics. Imageboards are also different from online galleries in that most of the works posted are not mad ...

/mlp/
/mlp/ is a board on the English-language imageboard website 4chan dedicated to discussion of the animated television series '' My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic''. The board serves as the gathering place on 4chan for adult fans of the series, commonly known as "bronies," to share and discuss artwork, videos, fan fiction, news, and other fan-created content related to the show. The brony fandom began on /co/, the comics and cartoons board of 4chan. As one of 4chan's specialized interest boards, /mlp/ was established in response to the growing popularity of ''My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic'' content on other parts of the website, particularly /co/ and /b/—the "random" board. Due to the overwhelming amount of pony-related content flooding these boards, Christopher "moot" Poole, the founder of 4chan, created the /mlp/ board on February 16, 2012. Following its creation, moot implemented "Global Rule 15" (GR15), which banned all pony-related content outside of a few sele ...

Sexualities
Human sexuality is the way people experience and express themselves sexually. This involves biological, psychological, physical, erotic, emotional, social, or spiritual feelings and behaviors. Because it is a broad term, which has varied with historical contexts over time, it lacks a precise definition.

Someone's sexual orientation is their pattern of sexual interest in the opposite and/or same sex. Physical and emotional aspects of sexuality include bonds between individuals that are expressed through profound feelings or physical manifestations of love, trust, and care. Social aspects deal with the effects of human society on one's sexuality, while spirituality concerns an individual's spiritual connection with others.

Original Characters
In fiction, a character is a person or being in a narrative (such as a novel, play, radio or television series, music, film, or video game). The character may be entirely fictional or based on a real-life person, in which case the distinction of a "fictional" versus "real" character may be made. Derived from the Ancient Greek word , the English word dates from the Restoration, although it became widely used after its appearance in ''Tom Jones'' by Henry Fielding in 1749. From this, the sense of "a part played by an actor" developed.Harrison (1998, 51-2) quotation: (Before this development, the term ''dramatis personae'', naturalized in English from Latin and meaning "masks of the drama", encapsulated the notion of characters from the literal aspect of masks.) A character, particularly when enacted by an actor in the theater or cinema, involves "the illusion of being a human person". In literature, characters guide readers through their stories, helping them to understand plots a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

They are generally free-to-play and can be either single-player or multiplayer. It is not necessary to install a browser game; simply visiting the webpage will run the title in a browser.

Friendship Is Magic Fan Fiction
Friendship is a relationship of mutual affection between people. It is a stronger form of interpersonal bond than an "acquaintance" or an "association", such as a classmate, neighbor, coworker, or colleague. Although there are many forms of friendship, certain features are common to many such bonds, such as choosing to be with one another, enjoying time spent together, and being able to engage in a positive and supportive role to one another. Sometimes friends are distinguished from family, as in the saying "friends and family", and sometimes from lovers (e.g., "lovers and friends"), although the line is blurred with friends with benefits. Similarly, being in the ''friend zone'' describes someone who is restricted from rising from the status of friend to that of lover (see also unrequited love). Friendship has been studied in academic fields, such as communication, sociology Sociology is the scientific study of human society that focuses on society, human social beha ...
