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, of which itself is best-known for gaining a cult following of males.
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 G3 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 31 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. Naturally, Chris saw it as a vehicle to gain more pity towards him by sympathizing with a character that appeared to have 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 infamous Cupcakes fanfiction and the "SHED" instalment of the .MOV series. He took particular offense at Rainbow Dash - a tomboyish character - being gorily killed, which is featured in both videos, and, in a characteristic fit of fatuous egotism, suggested that it was done because people hate Tomboys/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, [2] but two [3] playlists from HotdiggedyDemon (inclusive of said videos), the creator of the "Dark Parodies" that he hated so much.
In 2013, Chris' actions would cause him to become a social pariah to the Brony community by calling out voice actress Tara Strong 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 misunderstanding the context of her video and expecting a well-known celebrity 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:
| "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." |
Despite not meeting Chris before in her life, Tara immediately and insightfully chastises Chris as someone who would pull this stunt for attention, and makes note of her work in anti-bullying campaigns (which is something Chris would obviously 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 enable him.
When the Equestria Girls trailer was released, Chris threw a fit on Facebook, citing that it would attract "pedofile (sic) perverts" into the fanbase[4] (having drawn porn of underage characters in 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 own note, loudly demanding IN ALL CAPS that somebody pull the plug on it. Much to the surprise of nobody, Hasbro did not respond to Chris' suggestions.
In October 2014, Chris posted his own Lego 'Derpy' to his Facebook page, said Lego creation being really, really poorly made.
On 26 December 2014, Chris donned a pair of novelty My Little Pony sunglasses as a "disguise" to get himself into a GameStop to vandalize a Sonic Boom display.
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. Prior to 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 unconvincing Tomgirl.
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 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.

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. |
