'''''My Little Pony''''' is a line of [[toys]] and animated programs intended for girls aged 4–8, although its [[wikipedia:My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic|2010s incarnation]] earned favorable acclaim among adults, and a cult following called "bronies", with the other term "pegasisters" used for female fans. Chris is one of the few bronies to exist before the ''Friendship is Magic'' cartoon gained popularity; he picked up an interest in the franchise after being introduced to it by [[Megan Schroeder|Megan]] in [[2007]], buying several of the toys as well as making custom-made ''My Little Pony'' dolls for his friends. He has since developed an interest in the ''Friendship is Magic'' cartoon. Chris's early fascination with the series, long before it regained popularity with its fourth generation, means that he has occasionally been referred to as 'the first Brony' by observers, though Chris didn't refer to himself as part of the fandom until [[2011]].

Chris's early fascination with the series, long before it regained popularity with its fourth generation, means that he has occasionally been referred to as 'the first Brony' by observers, though Chris didn't refer to himself as part of the fandom until [[2011]]. Due to [[TooManyGames|past]] [[My Little Pony voice actresses|Shenanigans]] and his [[Affair with Mother|affair with his own mother]], Chris is shunned and unwanted by most, if not the entirety, of the community.

[[Image:ponyboy.jpg|thumb|Chris's Applejack avatar.]]
''[[My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic]]'' is the longest-running incarnation of ''My Little Pony'', premiering during the 2010s and running for nine seasons, concluding its run in [[October 2019]].
:See also: [[Equestria Girls]]
 
Chris used a picture of Applejack from ''Friendship is Magic'' as his [[Tomboys and Tomgirls of Virginia]] forum avatar, although his screen name was modeled after the name of another major character in the series – [[Rainbow]] [[Tomgirl|Dash]].
 
A ''Friendship is Magic'' Rainbow Dash toy can be sighted in the background of "[[Correction of EX relationship status]]" and a G3 My Little Pony sticker can be seen on Chris's [[3DS]] in the [[Wristwatch-SwissWatch for Jeremy "Thorg"]] video.
 
Chris also has a ''Friendship is Magic'' playlist on his [[YouTube]] account that includes all the episodes.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL20EBD1B6E8BB9E6F Chris's ''My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic'' playlist on YouTube]</ref> Considering [[Ghostbusters|his]] [[Transformers|previous]] [[Pokémon|track]] [[The Adventures of the American Rabbit|record]] for loving children's shows, it's not exactly surprising. In the [[Facebook]] note he made on 31 [[March 2012]], he complains about "gum gabbing gossip columnists working for a corrupt editor", which is the plot for the episode [http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Ponyville_Confidential "Ponyville Confidential"] (which aired not too long before the note was made), the giveaway being that the ''nom de plume'' used in the episode was "Gabby Gums".
 
[[File:Pony Love Games.png|thumb|thumb|150px|Chris gets intimate with one of his [[Vinyl Scratch|favorite characters]].]]
 
On 24 [[April 2012]], Chris wrote a note on his Facebook, calling for the rescue of the ''MLP:FiM'' character "Derpy Hooves", a character who is characterized by her lazy eyes and [[Slow-in-the-minds|comical method of thinking]], whose first speaking appearance in the episode "The Last Roundup" was re-edited because one person (who would later be heavily criticized by the ''MLP:FiM'' fanbase) thought Derpy's voice and personality in said appearance was offensive to the disabled. Naturally, Chris saw it as a vehicle to gain more pity towards him by sympathizing with a character that appeared to have some sort of disorder.
 
On 26 [[June 2012]], Chris whined about dark pony-related media on his Facebook via [[Twitter]]. He mentioned watching an animated adaption of the infamous fanfiction ''[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/cupcakes-my-little-pony-fanfiction Cupcakes]'' and SHED.MOV (an episode of HotDiggedyDemon's ''[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WebAnimation/PonyDotMov PONY.MOV]'' series). He took particular offense at Rainbow Dash, a tomboyish character, being gorily killed in both videos and, in a characteristic fit of fatuous [[Chris and his Ego|egotism]], suggested that it was done because people hate [[Tomgirl Saga|tomboys and tomgirls]]. He went on to rant about the "Dark Parodies" being the reason behind his writer's block, before descending into the usual tirade of hatred against people in general.


In a twist of irony, it was recently discovered that Chris has not one,<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2FD70214E0CF6E92 Jappleack Playlist on Chris' YT account]</ref> but two<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2f2iqihk1im2B1M7ZXJyoCd-gkDLXYCQ Jackie and Jerry playlist on Chris' YT account]</ref> playlists from HotDiggedyDemon, [[Chris and hypocrisy|the creator of SHED.MOV that he hated so much]]. Also, he eventually would share a word of wisdom HotDiggedyDemon posted to his Facebook account that trolls noted would be useful for himself.
Chris is a fan of the series, and was greatly distraught over what he feels is its premature ending.
 
[[File:LegoDerpy.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Chris's Lego pony in question; [[Chris and art|talented]] as always.]]
 
In 2013, Chris's actions would cause him to become a social pariah to the Brony community by calling out voice actress [[Wikipedia:Tara Strong|Tara Strong]] (who voices Twilight Sparkle on the ''Friendship is Magic'' series) on her "Twilightlicious" video, claiming that she was tainting the name of the characters she had voiced by apparently supporting trolling and bullying. Many trolls had responded that his actions were, to say the very least, ''ridiculous'', due to him [[Autism|misunderstanding the context of her video]] and expecting a well-known celebrity [[Chris and his Ego|to personally answer to him]]. This certainly would have ended in Chris not hearing squat from Tara, had a troll not decided to forward his rant to her Facebook account. This is what she had to say:
 
{{quoteboxred|"I don't think I've seen anyone put an ugly spin on something this outrageously for their own attention. Anyone who follows me know that I'm on a huge anti-bullying platform, and even wrote and produced a song about it.
 
All my "twolling" as we on Twitter call it is completely adorable and makes people smile. Christian's article makes me angry & disappointed. Hope I never meet the guy."}}
 
In other words, Tara immediately and understandably chastises him despite not meeting him before in her life, saying he's probably someone who would pull this stunt for attention and makes note of her work in anti-bullying campaigns (which is something Chris would not put any effort into researching). Chris did not respond, but in all likelihood ignored every word of what she said and dismissed her as a '''"DANG, DIRTY TROLL!"''' like he does with anybody who does not [[White knight|enable him]]. Eventually, though, he put her song "Take My Hand" on the [[Three-Quarter Woman]] CD.
 
[[File:RainbowChrissy.JPG|thumb|right|200px|Chris's Rainbow Dash cosplay.]]
When the ''[[Equestria Girls]]'' trailer was released, Chris threw a ''fit'' on Facebook, citing that it would attract ''"[[pedofork|pedofile]] [sic] perverts"'' into the fanbase.<ref>[[:File:Chris-Chan - FB - Equestria Girls.png]]</ref> Never mind that the ''MLP:FiM'' fanbase has always had perverts (not to mention that ''so does every other fanbase in the world'') and he has drawn porn of underage characters in [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' #8]]. He then goes on to say that the ''Friendship is Magic'' crew is "Out Of Their Minds", immediately after saying "With All Due Respect", even going so far as to name-drop Lauren Faust, who at that point had left the show more than a year prior. He then comments on his note, loudly demanding in ALL CAPS that somebody pulls the plug on it. Much to the surprise of nobody, Hasbro Studios did not respond to Chris's suggestions. Oh, and he [[Chris and hypocrisy|later "liked" some videos related to the movie online and named it his #2 favorite]].
 
In [[October 2014]], Chris posted his own [[Lego]] "Derpy" to his Facebook page.
 
On [[26 December 2014]], Chris donned a pair of novelty ''My Little Pony'' sunglasses as a "disguise" while vandalizing a ''[[Sonic Boom Protests|Sonic Boom]]'' display.
 
On 19 [[January 2015]], a photo was leaked depicting Chris dressed up in a Rainbow Dash costume. His unclean, frazzled appearance unsurprisingly doesn't mix at all with her general character design.
 
On 29 [[August 2015]], Chris was seen cosplaying, again, at [[OmegaCon]]; this time as "[[Vinyl Scratch]], A.K.A. DJ Pon3!". This time, at least, Chris put a little effort into his costume; nevertheless, the outcome was still horrible.
 
Having followed a number of prominent members of the brony analyst community on social media after [[BronyCon 2018]], Chris was [[TF2 Analysis|blocked by several of these members]] in [[January 2019]]. The causes for the mass blocking were boiled down to Chris compulsively interacting with the analysts and his [[ween]] following spamming said analysts (i.e. every comment Chris received, the analyst he initially tagged would be notified of the same post). This put Chris [[January 2019 videos#AHH!|on the warpath]] against his antagonistic followers, and drove him to seek forgiveness from the analysts, as expressed through [[:File:ChuggleDBuglApology.jpg|drawings]] and [[A Moment With Dr Wolf Chris Chan and Greater Struggles|tribute videos]]. With his efforts proven futile, Chris began to purge his Twitter following, initiating a period known as the [[Saga#Soft Exile (30 January - 25 June 2019)|Soft Exile]]; however, this was a fairly brief period.

The long-running fourth-generation incarnation of the ''My Little Pony'' cartoon ended its nine-year run in October 2019. Chris, at 37 years of age, couldn't bear to see his favorite cartoon end, and instead wallowed in his delusions and became convinced from his imaginary friends that G4 would continue. He took to video and Twitter to try to convince Hasbro to listen to him.

In [[2020]], much to Chris's dismay, ''Friendship is Magic'' was succeeded by ''[[Wikipedia:My Little Pony: Pony Life|My Little Pony: Pony Life]]'', which reunites most of the regular cast. The new series sports a radically-different animation style, which Chris likens to ''[[Wikipedia:Teen Titans Go! (TV series)|Teen Titans Go!]]'' by giving it the unaffectionate nickname, "GOPony"; however, his main gripe against the show is likely the fact that the cancellation of G4 failed to meet his [[Chris and reality|unrealistic prediction]] of the show continuing to Season 14, with all the main characters evolving into overpowered Alicorns.

[[File:Bronycon2019-21.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Chris attends BronyCon 2019.]]
Bronies are the teenage-to-adult males who have become fans of the ''Friendship is Magic'' incarnation of the My Little Pony franchise. While one would think Christian would be proud, or even claim responsibility for, bronies given the contents of his [[FUTURE MESSAGE]], Chris manages to once again defy expectations and common sense. Chris seemed to hate all bronies simply because they have [[duck]]s and are therefore [[JERKS]]. When Chris became a tomgirl, he considered himself a pegasister, which adult female fans of ''Friendship is Magic'' are called. It was only a matter of time before he started making demands on Facebook for bronies to bow down to their pegasister counterparts. He seems to blame the parts of the fandom which offend him, such as ''PONY.MOV'' (a satirical internet cartoon series which – believe it or not – is an affectionate parody of the show), on the wretched brony MALES and their twisted perversions while assuring himself that the female fans of the show are no doubt responsible for all the elements of the fandom he admires and [[Mass debating|mass debates]] to.


From 2017 to 2019, Chris attended the final three years of BronyCon before its demise. In recent years, this is arguably the most that Chris has been seen in public. During these events, he appeared in an immeasurable number of photographs and videos:
In [[2021]], upon news that the ''My Little Pony'' G5 reboot was proceeding, Chris snapped out of his phase of [[role-play]]ing as [[Sonichu]], which he had kept up for over ten months, in order to personally bash the upcoming cartoon. Soon afterwards, he began protesting the new generation, albeit in a more subdued way than [[26 December 2014|before]]. By the time the reboot premiered, Chris was in jail, but his last upload prior to being placed behind bars was [[Direct_Message_to_Hasbro:_MLPG5_Is_Cancelled.|a furious rant directed at Hasbro]], and his old habits flared up once more, claiming that the very existence of the show would plunge reality into chaos. Even after his release and eventual return to the internet, Chris continued to protest G5 on Twitter - most recently, he has blocked the majority of the voice cast associated with the show in an act of protest, and has since come to believe, inexplicably and preposterously, that the G5 characters are 'demons in disguise', that the show - and Pony Life before it- are [[Russia]]n propaganda, and that G5 has triggered World War III. What prompted this radical shift, outside of existing delusions, is currently uncertain.

As of [[BronyCon]], his stance against men who like ponies seems to have softened somewhat. He was photographed smiling in the presence of other men and didn't accuse any of them being discriminatory towards him. However, by all accounts (including his own) he still gravitated towards talking toward women at the convention. It's likely that he secretly still finds men he doesn't know to be offensive, regardless of if they are wearing a pony hat or not. The other possibility is that he simply isn't interested in Bronies because, despite his claims, he is still only interested in socializing for [[china|one thing]] that no man can give him.

With the conclusion of BronyCon, Chris set his sights on a [[Other Pony events|new convention]] to fill the gap; it is his intention to attend BABSCon 2021, which is based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Bronies are teenage-to-adult fans of ''My Little Pony'', in particular the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic]]'' generation. Bronies have organized [[conventions]] themed around the series.

In the ''My Little Pony'' universe, a cutie mark is a symbol on both an individual pony's thighs, representing their special talent and interest. Chris's "special talent", it seems, is being a [[tomgirl]]. Before the [[Tomgirl Saga]], Chris likely would have defined himself by his art or perhaps his [[love quest]], but at this point seems to be anchoring his entire personality to his tomgirl status. Somewhat ironic is the fact that despite the implication of tomgirlhood being his special talent, Chris is a [[Tomgirl Pictures|very, ''very'' unconvincing tomgirl]].

== Possible cameo in cartoon ==
[[Image:Ponycwc.png|thumb|Pony Chris and Borb?]]
On 7 October 2017, an episode for season 7, entitled "Once Upon a Zeppelin", was released, and many people noticed a background pony that looked similar to Chris, and two more in the background that looked similar to [[Barbara Chandler|Barb]] and [[Bob Chandler|Bob]].
Ironically, the episode's story was about Twilight Sparkle learning that her parents have won a free zeppelin cruise for their family. Upon boarding, Twilight discovers the cruise to be a vacation experience where the other passengers pay to spend time with her, invading her and her family's privacy.
The pony in question, known as "Mossy Rock", is a grey unicorn, with [[pedo glasses]], a [[Chris and fashion|striped shirt]], and a [[Hair|receding light green mane]]. Humorously, he is the only character in the audience to not smile when Twilight announces the winner.
The speculation about the pony was noticed by Chris, who commented:<ref>[[October 2017 tweets#Possible cameo in MLP]]</ref>
{{quotebox|I was just made aware of this speculation from the MLP Zappelin episode. I highly doubt that Unicorn was based from myself.}}

“ I recommend buying yourself a My Little Pony figure of your favorite color or whatever. Now, uh, stroking the hair of said pony is very relaxing and therapeutic, and also rubbing it against your cheek. That's... nice. ”
Chris' advice for young men[1]
Chris: The original brony.

My Little Pony is a line of toys and animated programs first created in 1981 by Hasbro. It is intended for girls aged 4–8, but its 2010s incarnation earned favorable acclaim among adults, and a cult male following called "bronies", with the other term "pegasisters" used for female fans. Chris is one of the few bronies to exist before the Friendship is Magic cartoon gained popularity; he picked up an interest in the franchise after being introduced to it by Megan in 2007, buying several of the toys as well as making custom-made My Little Pony dolls for his friends. He has since developed an interest in the Friendship is Magic cartoon.

Chris's early fascination with the series, long before it regained popularity with its fourth generation, means that he has occasionally been referred to as 'the first Brony' by observers, though Chris didn't refer to himself as part of the fandom until 2011. Due to past Shenanigans and his affair with his own mother, Chris is shunned and unwanted by most, if not the entirety, of the community.

Chris and ponies

One of Chris's ponies, as seen in his bedroom.

Prior to Chris's discovery by the internet, he had already made several homemade pony figures. The homemade ponies vary between being blatant ripoffs of anime characters, most notably the titular character from Naruto and Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist, and horrible Mary Sues such as Cheroki-Chan, who is clearly based on the comic-book version of Chris, and Crystal, whose origin is obvious.

In his infamous FUTURE MESSAGE, Chris first made his love of My Little Pony known when he recommended to all his viewers that they buy MLP figures of their favorite color to stroke and rub against their cheek, claiming that it was "very therapeutic" and that one could talk to the ponies and pretend that they were girls they wanted to ask out, to help them build confidence. At the time, this was viewed as a very revealing aspect of Chris's life, earning him the mockery of Encyclopedia Dramatica and 4chan yet again.

In CWC Update 18 March 2009 More Updated, his My Little Pony figurines can be seen hanging from his ceiling.

Friendship is Magic (2010-2019)

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is the longest-running incarnation of My Little Pony, premiering during the 2010s and running for nine seasons, concluding its run in October 2019.

Chris is a fan of the series, and was greatly distraught over what he feels is its premature ending.

After Friendship is Magic (2019 onwards)

Main article: My Little Pony Protests
“ This is an official command from your CPU Blue Heart in agreement with Princess Celestia of Equestria all of which in our sister dimension. Thank you. ”
Chris using his messiah complex to address Hasbro for the continuation of Friendship is Magic.[2]

Friendship is Magic ended its nine-year run in October 2019. Chris, at 37 years of age, couldn't bear to see his favorite cartoon end, and instead wallowed in his delusions and became convinced from his imaginary friends that G4 would continue. He took to video and Twitter to try to convince Hasbro to listen to him and to cancel their plans to reboot My Little Pony into its fifth generation, or G5.

In 2020, much to Chris's dismay, Friendship is Magic was succeeded by a spin-off series, My Little Pony: Pony Life, which reunites most of the regular cast albeit with a radically-different animation style, which Chris likens to Teen Titans Go! by giving it the unaffectionate nickname, "GOPony"; however, his main gripe against the show is likely the fact that the cancellation of G4 failed to meet his unrealistic prediction of the show continuing to Season 14, with all the main characters evolving into overpowered Alicorns.

In 2021, upon news that the My Little Pony G5 reboot was proceeding, Chris snapped out of his phase of role-playing as Sonichu, which he had kept up for over ten months, in order to personally bash the upcoming cartoon. Soon afterwards, he began protesting the new generation, albeit in a more subdued way than before. By the time the reboot premiered, Chris was in jail, but his last upload prior to being placed behind bars was a furious rant directed at Hasbro, and his old habits flared up once more, claiming that the very existence of the show would plunge reality into chaos. Even after his release and eventual return to the internet, Chris continued to protest G5 on Twitter - most recently, he has blocked the majority of the voice cast associated with the show in an act of protest, and has since come to believe, inexplicably and preposterously, that the G5 characters are 'demons in disguise', that the show - and Pony Life before it- are Russian propaganda, and that G5 has triggered World War III. What prompted this radical shift, outside of existing delusions, is currently uncertain.

Chris and the Brony fandom

Main article: Brony

Bronies are teenage-to-adult fans of My Little Pony, in particular the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic generation. Bronies have organized conventions themed around the series.

Cutie mark

"Shaking my ass at Walmart is my destiny, 'cause that's what my cutie mark is telling me."

In the My Little Pony universe, a cutie mark is a symbol on both an individual pony's thighs, representing their special talent and interest. Chris's "special talent", it seems, is being a tomgirl. Before the Tomgirl Saga, Chris likely would have defined himself by his art or perhaps his love quest, but at this point seems to be anchoring his entire personality to his tomgirl status. Somewhat ironic is the fact that despite the implication of tomgirlhood being his special talent, Chris is a very, very unconvincing tomgirl.

In a leaked video released on 25 February 2012, Chris was spotted showing off a drawing on his left thigh which he calls his "cutie mark". It is the combination of the two gender symbols, surprisingly not having anything to do with Sonichu for once. It does not seem to be a real tattoo, but instead is drawn on, most likely with his felt-tip pens.

In June 2017, Chris shared the result of a cutie mark generator quiz to Facebook.[3] Inspired, Chris would later that day use the design to create a new original character. Observers would underestimate how far he would take this.

Chris's ponysona is uncreatively named "Night Star". He has created a second Twitter account under this name, using it to white knight himself against trolls and potential sweethearts. Since 2017, Chris has created numerous ponysonas for his loved ones and allies, including his mother and father, his former sweetheart, Jessica, Null, as well as some original characters influenced by other people, including Kun T'Nyuget and Gary Stu.

This article is still yet to be completed due to stress.

We get a lot of stressful torture in our lives that makes us crash into slumber. Given that inspiration is a big variable, and we may have been lacking of it, this article will be completed as soon as possible, at our own pace... HONEST!


Regardless of his considerable debts, Chris is not hesitant to splash out his monthly tugboat on unnecessary Pony merch. The following is a list of known My Little Pony merchandise purchased by Chris:

In the comic

Sonichu #12-9 front cover

Like any eight-year-old girl with the hopes of marrying a blue prince in a fairytale wedding with her favorite pony by her side, Sonichu Special #2 reveals to its unfortunate readers that Chris might have harbored similar thoughts, as his ideal wedding also features a My Little Pony menagerie.

After having received a blessing from the best [wo]man Sarah Nicole Hammer, the recently united Chris and Ivy leave the church where the wedding was held in a carriage pulled by what many trolls speculate to be a badly-drawn Rainbow Dash, which is harnessed to the carriage with what appears to be the Boulder Badge from Pokémon.

In Sonichu #12 Robee performs the "Sonic Rainboom", a stunt performed in the show when Rainbow Dash goes fast and makes a rainbow. In a bonus epilogue set in Ponyville, Night Star introduces DJ Jamsta and Lolisa Rosechu, who perform "Love is Love" live in concert.

Chris' passion for both his comic series and My Little Pony came together in 2017, when he announced work on the Pony-centric comic, Sonichu #12-9. He revealed that #12-9—formerly labeled Sonichu #13 because superstition—would include the self-described fan-fiction but potentially canon life story of Night Star.[18][19]

The comic follows Night Star as she overcomes hurdles similar to the inspiring franchise, with a dash of Chris' naïve take on romance. As per previous issues, a number of story elements were influenced by contemporary sagas, including Jessica Quinn and the Idea Guys. Several members of the Mane Six and Discord appeared as cameos throughout the story. Characters from the movie, mostly Captain Celaeno and Tempest Shadow, even played a major role in the plot in the fourth part of the comic.

Aside from a Special, which was used to iron out Ben Saint's canon-defying comic, Night Star makes a brief appearance in the next issue of Sonichu.
