Today I wanted to talk about Avatars, images or characters that we undertake to portray ourselves as, when we post in the online 'world.' I have been thinking a lot about what my first avatar was, and why. Today I'd like to share where those thoughts have led me, in the hopes of encouraging you to do the same.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Analysis - MMMystery on the Friendship Express

As you might have guessed from my picture, as well as my name 'AppleShy,' I am a fan of the new My Little Pony TV show, titled My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

If you have not seen it, I would highly recommend checking it out. There are many things I like about this show, but in short, what I perhaps like most about it, is the show's ability to have a moral and message in every episode that the viewer can relate with and sympathize with, thereby allowing them to take away something from the story, and use it to reflect, change, and grow.

One thing the show encouraged me personally to do, is rewatch episodes and search through them, to see how the writers integrated the theme and message of each episode into its story, as well as how it incorporated the characters into the central plot, and what we can learn from them.

These are what I call my analyses, when I look deep into an episode to find its message, how it was conveyed, and search for more themes present that we can learn from. So, here is the first of what I hope to be many installments in my MLP Analyses, we shall start with one of my personal  favorites, hope you enjoy it:

Hello

Hello to whomever I am lucky enough to have had grace their presence with upon my blog. My name is John in the real world, AppleShy in the online world, and Johnny AppleShy in both the real and online worlds. You may call me whichever pleases you most.

For this blog I plan to list my various writings, that include deep analysis, thinking, and speculation of stories, the world itself, people, life, and much more. I may also post other types of blogs about myself, or my own thoughts at night, but I cannot say for sure, for things will be so much more fun that way, and I look forward to seeing what the future holds for both me and you.

For now, I thank you again for this visit, and I hope to see you again sometime in the future, whoever you are.
