Although I'm not super attached to any certain pony, sometimes I'll tuck a BB figure into my bag as a talisman for good vibes- Rainbow Dash when I need some extra confidence, Applejack if I know I have a long hard work day, Twilight comes with me to academic conferences and seminars, etc. I'm not superstitiously committed to this, but sometimes it's just nice to feel like I'm getting a little boost to help me focus.I forgot I do this as well. It's nice to have the reminder in the back of my mind that a pony is helping me get through the day.
