I do really like Pumpkin Tart! And all the cat ponies, really. But come on, cats plus ponies PLUS halloween? Everything I need, right there :p

A lot of times I did just because I forgot to charge it, haha.

You guys might appreciate my story! I got to meet the woman who was the reference model for Tinkerbell for the Disney movie Peter Pan. Her name's Margaret Kerry. She also did modelling for the red-haired Mermaid, as well as the voice acting! She was the one who said "We were only trying to drown her".

She was asked to come speak at my middle school, because the principal was a huge Disney fanatic. She talked all about what it was like, and it really sparked a love for animation and art. She had to speak twice because our only indoor area big enough for an assembly doesn't fit the whole school and they didn't want to make an elderly woman stand out in the cold for such a long period of time. So as soon as my assembly (the first one) was let out, the second half of the students went in and we got a recess period. I immediately started drawing Tinkerbell. From memory, so I remember it being awful and inaccurate, but I remember being proud of it at the time. After some back and forth arguing with myself, I decided to give it to her. So when the second assembly let out and she came outside to leave, I ran up to her and timidly handed over the drawing. I'm sure she's gotten hundreds of drawings from cartoon loving kids, and it couldn't have been more than another cute moment for her, but I have always been very shy and private about my art, so giving a drawing of a character to the celebrity behind the character was a huge thing for me. So I've always had a soft spot for Tinkerbell and always will, because of that lovely woman who captivated me enough to give me both inspiration to draw and the courage to share it. I'd always been artistic as a kid but hadn't been much at that time due to lack of confidence and motivation.

The funny thing is, I tend to hate most Tinkerbell merchandise (mainly the shirts for adults that have "sassy" quotes like "I get my way!" or "Miss Attitude") and I was REALLY hesitant to watch the Tinkerbell movies because I thought it was going to be playing on that one-dimensional view of Tink. I'm so glad her character has been given the opportunity to display a fully fleshed-out personality and be something more than the favorite tee shirt of every all-grown-up spoiled brat. 

They were probably easter gifts that turned out to be too much work so sad and it happens every year. If they're not coming up to you, they're probably okay, it means they're not so domesticated that they're overly trusting (and so will still run from threats). But if you want, you can always leave out some veggies and other bunny-safe treats that will attract them and see if they will let you grab them? Or put the treats in a humane trap of some sort if you're sure you want to catch them.

If you don't plan on keeping them, find a bunny rescue near you, or at least a general no-kill shelter that's willing to take them. They may also be able to catch them for you so you don't have to buy a trap! If you do want to keep them, be sure to read up on the care. There's a reason so many get dumped every year after easter. They're not as easy to care for as they seem and they can be fussy too!

I started out just watching FiM and didn't really think I'd become a collector. Then I started posting here...  Saw all the pretty vintage ponies and they grew on me a lot. Then I joined a swap and it was allllll downhill from there. Ponies make me smile, and the community is the best one online I've ever been a part of. I always feel better when I come back to this site :3

I think they figured people wouldn't want to buy them if they were nothing more than smaller versions of the exact same pony. Especially parents. "Honey, you already have this same one at home." "But Mommmmm, this one's SMALLER!"

Out of the ponies I own: Pillow Talk, Napper, and G3 Tiramisu and Mochanut. I clearly have a "cozy" theme going, haha.

Fave ponies I don't own?? Uh... too many to list :p I can never have just one favorite anything.

No weird questions, but a weird interview in general. I recently got hired on at a theater and the guy who interviewed me had all... four questions he asked written in pencil on a piece of lined paper, like school notes. It felt very much more casual than I was expecting! I guess I'm used to these retail/part time jobs all acting like they're so much more professional and fancy than they are. The lack of BS is confusing haha. But hey I got the job! And it seems like a nice place to work. (And yay money, maybe I'll even be able to pick up collecting again! It's been years!)
