Personal Interview-

Where did you get your user name?

How old are you?
24

Do you go to school or work?
Sadly at the moment no due to troubles getting a job and I was gonna go to school but the pandemic happened

What are your hobbies?
More like a sport I like horse back riding and horses in general, computer stuff, wolves (like Wolf’s Rain for example) nostalgic games like Club Penguin, Poptropica, Webkinz, and so on

Do you have any pets?
Yep! A mare named Luka, a cat named Tickly, and a dog named Kuma that is gonna be my future service dog!

What do you like/dislike about yourself?
I like that I’m stubborn in a good way meaning that I refuse to give up or give in to what people want me to do and as for what I dislike, I’m not the leader I once used to be

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
In the neighborhood where I grew up in the woods!

Do you collect anything other than ponies?
Nope! Just ponies!

Ponies-

How long have you been collecting ponies?
I had some ponies from my childhood but I really started collecting them when I was 18

Why did you start collecting ponies?
I’m autistic so it’s hyper focused on that and I love it!

Who is your favorite pony and why?
Princess Luna, I really relate to her and I love her color scheme and the moon!

Who is your least favorite pony and why?
Not a pony and this is an unpopular opinion, Discord, I feel like he never learns and just gets so offended when he’s not involved with something

Who is your favorite pony from another country?
Ice Crystal

Who is your favorite fakie?
Princess Rinse n Spit

Who was your first pony?
Tough to say, it might have been Cinnamon Breeze, Cloud Climber, Pinkie Pie, or Sunny Daze

What pony did you get recently?
Misty Brightdawn Style of The Day

What is your favorite generation?
Despite being a 2000’s kid, g1 is my favorite!

What is your favorite part about collecting?
The happiness I get from it, every time I go to a vintage store or thrift store and they have ponies I just get so happy!

How big is your collection?
A lot of my family members say it’s big but I feel like a medium small collection compared to others

What do your friends and family think about your collection?
They know it’s my passion and every time they go to a thrift store they always look for some for me!

Do you still play with your ponies?
The closest I’ll get to that is imagining what their personalities would be and how their world works and how their society works

What rare or popular pony makes you ask why!?
None, I accept all ponies! Unless they are constantly repeated

If you had to have a pony symbol tattooed on your butt, which would you pick and why?
Princess Luna, I love the moon

If you could have any pony remade in a different generation, who would you choose and why?
The ponies from my childhood though it’d hard to pick one so I don’t know which one I would pick!

What has been the worst part about collecting?
Restorations can be fun but not when waiting happenings like uv lights, I just want the pony now!

What is your ultimate collecting goal?
To have so many of them and never stop collecting!

What is your biggest collecting accomplishment?
Getting a Takara pony!

What is your biggest collecting regret?
Came across a very mean lady on eBay so I accidentally bought something and she yelled at me that it was no accident and I’m a very sensitive person so I did not feel good that day

Who is your grail pony and why?
The Takara ponies cause they are so rare and unique!

Do you have it?
Yes I do!

Do you prefer loose or MIP ponies?
Loose for sure, I’d rather hold the pony than keep it in a box

Quick! Close your eyes and grab a pony! Who did you get?
Core 7 Scootaloo

Are you a customizer?
I customized at least two fakies for fun and practice

Would you ever be?
If I had the patience to learn which hopefully I will get

What do you think of custom ponies?
They are great! I wish can be as talented and driven to make them!

What are acceptable and unacceptable pony flaws, in your opinion?
Depending on which gen I’d say an acceptable flaw is when they are front facing, it looks good from the side but hard to make it look good in the front, as for unacceptable, cutie marks on one side, and just in general nowadays not much thought like poses or gimmicks is put into them

Would you rather have a bait pony or a fakie?
Bait pony, I can fix it

Do you watch pony shows/movies?
Yep!

Which ones?
All the media that exist!

Do you read pony comics?
Yes I do

Which ones?
I listen to the g1 uk comic on YouTube

What is the worst thing you've ever done to a pony?
I’ve done this twice, accidentally put acetone on the eye and got it smudged and another one I thought the acetone didn’t affect the factory paint but no it did, it removed it, rookie mistake

Fill in the blank!

"I wish Hasbro would put more effort into making them nowadays"

"When I was new to ponies I didn't know g2 ponies existed sorta, seen the pc game but not the toys"

"I think the most underappreciated pony is Sliver Swirl because she’s pretty and a unicorn"

"I think more ponies should have passion put into them, at least the ones from g4 to today”

"I don't like same ponies over and over because I want different ponies and not the 80th Twilight variant!”

"I love tall and elegant ponies like pony bride, g2, and alicorns because they are just so pretty!"
