"While I was waiting in the parkinglot I saw a lot of nice outfits! Are they homemade too? You kids and your cosplays.... My friend Sami is very good at that too. Plenty of costumes. but his most accurate one is the Heterosexual Man Outfit. Very convincing! It's like an alternate universe."
-my mom after I came back from a convention once
"I can't believe how they managed to make a cartoon horse so Chinese. I bet her parents made her go to Horse Kumon or something every Sunday and now she still partly bases her self worth on whether she becomes a doctor. Just a bit. Even though she's an adult you can't completely let go of your horse grandmother in your brain nagging you about it. Even if you worked for the government. You're still an anxious Chinese horse. And every year is year of the horse now."
-my mom, @ twilight sparkle
My mom has never even watched mlp, she either knows way more than she lets on or this says something about the character design.
"She's Chinese. It's the bangs. And the books. I had friends like that. Also the rainbow one is Chinese too but like the type like your friends that bleach a bit of their hair before dying it but it comes out that specific shade of yellow and changes the shade of the dye on top. Because they're Chinese."
