About Me
Who I Am
Greetings! My name is Joe. I've been a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic since the days of Season 5 airing in 2015, but I only seriously ran with the herd since 2023. I've had the experience of participating in several events in my relatively short tenure: r/Place 2023, moderating the Poner Plushies Discord server, playing as a contestant in the fandom-famed My Little Millionaire, and hosting panels at pony cons. This fandom has so many different things to offer, and I enjoy being a part of it.
What I Do
While I'm still finding my footing in the fandom as a late-bloomer, my goal is to leave an impact on the community and create content of many types for fellow pony fans to enjoy. I strive to create high-quality, fun, and engaging panels that attendees can enjoy or even learn something new from. I am also working towards creating new forms of content, namely fanfiction and direct-to-video productions (i.e., not just archiving panels and posting them as videos).
What I Enjoy
The niche I've grown into the most in this fandom has to be pony plushies. I'm a big fan of plushies in a variety of sizes and poses, and from many different plushmakers, official and community-made. To date, I own over two dozen plushies with more still on the way.
My favorite pony from the show is Applejack. I love her honest, hard-working, and practical ways, and I think these attributes make her a wonderful role model for all-ages.
Finally, some of my favorite creators in the pony fandom include LittleshyFiM, Tootsie4ever, Cole Donnerstag (Studio Cinemagic), and Silver Quill. I still enjoy discovering great new pony videos, even nowadays. They're still out there, you just have to find them!
About My OC
I created my OC, Cave Glider, last year as a character to use in my online profiles. He started as a simple PonyTown character, but since then, I've been able to commission several artists to create their renditions of him, including his own plush! I love warm colors, so it only made sense to use shades of red, orange and yellow in his design. Like myself in high school and college, he enjoys the casual fit of a hoodie, and the grey and blue combination complement him well. Since his special talent is mining, his is represented with a diamond pickaxe cutie mark. Or perhaps the guy who designed him really enjoys Minecraft... Who's to say?
