My Friendship is Magic remake of Draggle is a unicorn with a broken horn and a cutie mark symbolizing motherhood :) I am essentially Draggle in the real world, in 2011. I'm a ditz married to a nerd. We reproduced. Five kids and I'm pregnant with number six. We'll have seven if an adoption goes in our favor. I gave FiM Draggle twelve because I want more. Among those twelve in my fanon are Snips and Snails. I'm a teaching assistant and charity volunteer and part-time graduate student (and here I used to think I was too dumb for college, ha ha ha) in addition to being a mommy, and I love love love what I do. Also I'm really weird and impulsive and get into crazy situations. You'll get used to me, hopefully.

@zarkanorf *smooches your cheek*
-
@zarkanorf Correct. Very much so.
-
@haganbmj Okay, enough! Thank you! I feel embarrassed now!
-
@angel It must've froze.
-
@haganbmj *looks at work she has to do over the weekend and sighs a sigh of tired* I will succeed!
-
@darkcore Ack, the contagious spirit golden is spreading!
-
@nutterguy Thank you. Nowhere to go but onward. I wish I had realized that sooner.
-
@haganbmj Oh, and don't you worry either. Eeep. Nopony worry!
-
@zarkanorf That's why I'm working toward a Ph.D. in social services. Saving young people from abusive homes is something I was born for.
-
@bigponymac Like I told rainbowdashismycopilot, don't ya worry 'bout me. Good came out of it. Lots of goals and accomplishments came out of it. (I'm working on a Ph.D. in social services. I'm currently a teaching assistant for developmentally delayed students and I'm changing prejudiced attitudes in my students' school.) I think it all made me the person I was meant to be, and yeah, I have heartaches over it still, but I have people who love me and I just know it was worth it because I'm making it be worth it.

@rainbowdashismycopilot GROUP HUG FROM HUGGINGTON - which is a magical place in imagination.
-
@zarkanorf Gawd, that's cute.
-
@flaminglight A lot of us were opening up. Mine just took a while to type and I wasn't sure about posting it at first.

@darkcore *hugs of huggington*

@rainbowdashismycopilot And ponies. And adventure. And spontaneity.

@rainbowdashismycopilot I'm fine. I have a lovely life doing things I love. Good friends, wonderful children, loving husband, sweet therapist, exciting silly life. ❤

My story is too long to sum up briefly. I have no idea how much any of you know about MLP G1, but in the 1980s, Draggle was more like me than any other fictional character. My home life was dramatic from the start. I was born unwanted - my mother just never wanted to be a mother - and I was the least favorite kid by both parents. Both abused me, especially my mother, and my father left when I was ten and then we went bankrupt annnnd, well, the sum of the story is that my mother abused me from before I was born until I was 25 and moved out. Afterward, she tried to continue hurting me. I have PTSD. I have psychogenic seizures. I was born disabled in other ways, which my mother used as justification to hate me more. The labels of my at-birth disabilities have changed. Eh... Those kids whose parents told them to beat me up in the '70s, well, they beat up a girl who walked looking down at the ground whilst flapping her hands. At twelve, I stopped. I was hurt into "normalcy".

@moonprincess We're talking about sad things in our lives - and ENCOURAGING EACH OTHER!
-
@magicrussia I'm sorry. The good news is that you're moving onward and you've found a source of happiness!
-
@nutterguy You sound like my husband, albeit more logical. He'll say, "Yeah, I'm bisexual. I just haven't met a man I'm attracted to." O.o
-
And I'm so old and female. Crazy and ironic how out-of-place that makes me in MLP circles these days.

@rainbowdashismycopilot At age fifteen, I fell for a female teacher. Now add that in with issues with my own mother (namely, she hated me) and UGH. I've identified as bisexual for most of my life, at any rate.

@angel *hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs hugs*
-
@magicrussia ❤ ponyhug ❤ Thank you. I'm a teaching assistant who prevents this kind of madness before it occurs.
-
@rainbowdashismycopilot It was the 1970s. I think people have actually gotten nicer, in respects.
-
@angel Good for you.

@angel I don't know what your home life is like. I hope you can tell your parents.

@rainbowdashismycopilot I was ten and eleven, like I said. That was a long time ago. The kids at my school were ignorant and allegedly a lot of their parents told them to beat on me. Crappy neighborhood, it was.
-
@angel I was anorexic when I was ten and eleven, in a complex way. My father had just left and my mother stocked up on McDonald's, which I could not eat, so I just did not eat and did not eat at school because people would beat me up every day there trying to, erm, prove to me that I was weak and needed to eat (instead of actually letting me eat). One day, at the place I called my home, I was on the ground from lack of food and too weak to get up and NO ONE CARED. Hours later, I managed to pull myself up by grabbing on to a lamp and a couch. I could still barely move. That was when I decided I better save myself because I knew I would die otherwise.
