Their blocky nubby bodies perfectly capture the whimsy of childhood imaginings of horses. Even better their heads are actually shaped like horse and they seem to have been created with love for the humble horse.
Wind Whistler as pictured is my favourite as she is transgender it is a pity her toy is covered in flocking which I cannot handle for sensory reasons. I should buy one and wash her clean of sin.
This is part 2, since there were too many so soft ponies in this wave to fit into a singular poll. The winner of this poll will face off against North Star, who won the previous poll, to determine tumblr’s favorite pony from this set ^^
I decided to draw even more ponies. they're on my redbubble and I also plan to make stickers out of them and sell as bundles on Etsy. I plan to have 15 ponies in that sticker bundle, so expect more!
I kin twilights autistic traits. She stims, has “tantrums” (they’re not necessarily meltdowns/shutdowns but are an outburst), bad at keeping secrets, basically all the stuff she learns before becoming a princess, her “twilighting”, takes stuff literally, has special interests, dislikes change, sometimes can’t tell her own emotions, and plans for everything that doesn’t need planning (I got all this from TikToks btw I’m not observant enough to notice all these things)
Next is Fluttershy
I also kin her autistic/personality traits. She struggles to meet new people, easily talks abt her spins, is shy and quiet but louder when you get to know her, poor time management, misinterpret things, enjoys being in the background but still part of things, and overly sensitive
Next is Pinkie Pie
Pinkie pie was one of the first characters I ever kinned, I kin her personality as a whole; aside from her blatant extrovertedness towards strangers and love for parties and sweets. She is my unmasked autism, she was me when I was younger and was my favorite for a loooong time before wind Whistler and Celestia came along
Last is Derpy Hooves
I kin Derpy’s personality and autistic traits as a whole. She is forgetful (hence her other name, Ditzy Doo), clumsy, and has a spin. There isn’t much to her since she’s a fan loved character and not meant to rlly have substance but I relate to her fully either way
honorable mention: Wind Whistler
(She’s the blue and pink pony) Wind Whistler is my favorite character out of the entire franchise, I kind of kin her. I relate to her logical thinking, although it doesn’t go to the point where my emotions don’t get in the way like it does for her. Sometimes I catch myself talking formally like she does too
Random but I guess I was thinking about it since I recently moved my collection to my new shelf. But my g1 holy grail is UK exclusive Wind Whistler. I don't like the regular one since it's a So-Soft pony.
(Hi just to fill anyone in if they didn't know before but I occasionally collect old g1 mlps and restore them)
