My Little Pony (MLP) is a show surrounding the friendships and tribulations of ponies. While it’s enjoyed by children all over the world, it has also attracted a niche audience of people. Specifically, those who like to write horny fanfiction about it. This audience can consist of anyone – horse girl, horse enthusiast, or an infamous crowd in the MLP fandom: bronies, or male fans of MLP.

The Toike has always been fascinated by bronies. However, to our absolute sorrow, none of them responded to our interview requests, so we decided to settle for the next best thing: bronies from a parallel universe. But the result wasn’t what we were expecting. It turns out that parallel universe bronies, upon hearing about our horny MLP fanfiction, wholeheartedly disagree with its existence. 

“I don’t understand it,” parallel brony Astral Thunder said. “MLP is such a fucked up, cruel show. I don’t even know how it’s allowed to air on television. Why would you write horny fanfiction about it?”

According to Astral Thunder, MLP is so dark, twisted and gruesome that its fanbase is dedicated to creating only wholesome content. “There’s already so much degeneracy in MLP,” Astral Thunder adds, shivering slightly. “I can’t take it anymore. So I turn to fanfiction.”

Common tropes in parallel universe MLP fanfiction include hand holding, basket weaving, communal living and ethical farming practices. The purpose of writing fanfiction is to give their characters a respite from their dystopian lifestyle, even if that’s not reality. 

Parallel MLP fandom’s wholesome fanfiction touched the Toike’s heart. But a question remained. Just what the hell does the parallel universe version of MLP contain? Since we still had a few minutes with Astral Thunder, we decided to ask him this one last question.

“I have something to tell you,” Astral Thunder answered, after a while of looking pensive. “Never ask me or any other brony that question again. You’re better off not knowing.”

His demeanour was completely calm. He looked…well, he looked like he had seen the absolute worst the world has to offer. Toike decided to take his words to heart, and rest assured, we will never find out. But we’re definitely gonna read some of their basket weaving fanfiction.
