My Little Pony (MLP) is a line of toys and animated programs intended for girls aged 4-8. Chris 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 "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" cartoon. It's worth noting that MLP is one of the few things that Chris could hypothetically claim he liked before they were cool, a statement that would not gain him a single bit of credibility.
Chris and ponies
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 Captain's Log, Stardate March 18th, 2009, you can see his My Little Ponys hanging from his ceiling.
One of the latest known references to MLP made by Chris was on the Tomboys and Tomgirls of Virginia forum, where Chris used a picture of Applejack from the more recent My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic animated series as his avatar, although his screen name was modeled after the name of another major character in the series- Rainbow Dash.
A Friendship is Magic Rainbow Dash toy can be sighted in the background of "Correction of EX relationship status" and a My Little Pony sticker can be seen on Chris's 3DS in the Wristwatch-SwissWatch video.
Chris also has a Friendship is Magic playlist on his YouTube account that includes all the episodes, confirming once and for all his love for a children's show.[1] Considering his previous track record, it's not exactly surprising. In the Facebook note he made on the 31st March, 2012, he complains about "gum gabbing gossip columnists working for a corrupt editor", which is the plot for the episode "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'.
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 googly eyes and slow method of thinking. However, Chris saw it as a vehicle to gain more pity towards him by sympathizing with a character that had a sort of disability.
On the 26 June 2012, Chris whined about dark pony related media on his Facebook via Twitter. He mentioned watching an animated adaption of the Cupcakes fanfiction and the "SHED" instalment of the .MOV series. He took particular offence at Rainbow Dash - a tomboyish character - being killed, which is featured in both videos, and wondered if people did it because they hate Tomboys/Tomgirls. He went on to rant about the "Dark Parodies" being the reason behind his writer's block, before descending into a tirade of hatred against people in general.
Cutie mark
In the new videos released on Feb 25th, Chris was spotted showing off a drawing on his left thigh which he calls his "cutie mark". It is the combination of the male and female symbol, 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 the My Little Pony universe, a cutie mark is a symbol representing an individual pony's special talent and interest. Chris's special talent, it seems, is being a tomgirl. Considering most other things Chris has tried and almost always failed at, it's still not all that surprising.
In the comics
Like any eight-year-old girl with the hopes of marrying a blue prince in a fairytale wedding with her BFF 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.
After having received a blessing from the best [wo]man Sarah 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.

Chris's depiction of himself as a pony...or rather, a horse- too awesome to be a common pony. Just as Chris, Cheroki-Chan has a few quirks, likes to draw and color, but above all, he is noble and honorable. Cheroki-Chan "creams" of finding a sweetheart for himself, yet is having problems, mainly from being rejected once by that multi-green pony, possibly camouflaged. |
