Leigh Gillam

mountains, pyramids, patterns in space, happiness, blank mysticism, prettiness, cats, comforting household items, everything nice about the wild. this trying to be less into “creepy” stuff is hard. i miss my chiaroscuro and tension.

my little pony of my childhood

leighgillam — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 23:47:59 +0000

I had these when I was young. I had the one that was the first to jump in the opening. I like to think that I was a tomboy. the pink colours got to me after a while. and the voices. but I was infatuated. which might have something to do with watching old episodes. my toys were not the same characters as in the episodes…they had the personalities I attributed to them. my boyish pony with the darkest bits of colour, with the less annoying tones was calm and brave. it disappointed me to realize she didn’t have a horn or wings. I am learning things now looking back into this. the other one I had was Moonbeam who had both a horn and better eyes, but it was a baby, and so not strong and brave the way I wanted my pony to be – and I have just learned she traveled around looking for a real girl who believed in magic and unicorns – magic worked as a marketing scheme. I am not sure if I wish I had been smarter to know everything about all the shows and own the best ones, because it seems better to have created my own story out them and make them who I wanted, by mixing them with other toys, and other characters and places of my imagination. it was the strangeness of everything I liked.

and Firefly, the one with the lightning bolts, had wings and was the girl’s rider, (I don’t think I really related much to the girl. but the monsters were neat.) and in the opening seems less baby than the toy; more of a cocky kind of daredevil – strong and very pink. I also had Heart throb who was also pink and suppose to make everyone happy. what an awful name Heart throb. annoying voice. the baby version with the necklace was not Heart throb in my eyes, and adorable. I somehow ended up with the babies and not princess Tiffany who apparently was the head of everything, though I don’t remember her, and all white and had both wings AND a unicorn – I didn’t have her, but I bet I wished my ponies had both of those and were white – because the colours were so annoying after a while. but the reddish hair on Paradise who told the legends would have been good too although I doubt it occurred to me to want Paradise because we wouldn’t have seen her enough. Galaxy might have occurred to me more to want because Galaxy was suppose to be intelligent and could shoot light from her horn and seemed bigger. if only mine could do that. and Mimic sounds neat with all the mind reading, soothsaying, glowing and levitating…and the wish making one who can wish herself invisible at twilight in order to magically appear anywhere without considering travel time. oh yes, Twilight. actually come to think of it, I am not sure which were mine, and which were my neighbors – I think she had Firefly and the babies, but I played them sometimes. the white and purple one was mine. but why did it have those annoying sparkle eyes, and gingerbreads on it. how dare they have called it Gingerbread! I didn’t pick off the eyes because I knew that underneath was nothing, and something was better than nothing – and I couldn’t wrap my head around plastic toy printing techniques. I remember being bored.
