well i got this mlp idea based on a joke I use to tell my friends. I thought of the joke when I noticed an overabundance of females with only a few male characters. the joke was that celestia used her magic powers on hasbro to force them to make a show that she knew would appeal to male audiences so she could than use the human males to fix the gender imbalance of equestria. the story Ideal i have based on the joke is also based on the story,"my little pony theory". the story starts of as narrative told from the point of view of the main character. he talks about how him and his older brother use to watch my little pony together all the time. he talks about how, as he and his older brother continued to watch the series he began to notice changes in his brothers personality. his brother began acting more depressed and only seemed to cheer up when watching mlp, he also began locking himself up in his room more and even began telling his brother to never go into his room. one day while the younger of the two brothers was at home he gets a call from the police and he is informed that his brother was killed by a runaway simi on his way home from work. the story cuts to a few months later the dead brothers room has remained closed and untouched. A new season for mlp was announced and set to come out in the next two weeks. At the very time a series of strange roomers began to pop up surrounding the show like men randomly dying after watching episodes of the show online and young boys hearing the voices of their deceased fathers and grandfathers, who were fans of the show, in their dreams saying thing such as "you'll be with us soon". the young man began getting strange e-mails from unknown people with strange messages like "join the herd" and "I'm waiting for you here, where the grass is green and the problems are simple". the young man also began experiencing a series of head aches. on the day the new episode premiered the young man sits down and watches the show which goes normally until a strange scene where a adult colt walks across the screen and appeared to stare at the young man for a good minute before smiling, waving, and walking of screen and the episode continuing as it normally would. that night the young man gets on his pony forum and discusses the strange scene with his friend meeting with varying degree of confusion as non of his friends saw the scene. deciding to investigate further the young man looks up the episode and found that the scene was not present anywhere in the episode. at the moment the episode ends the mans computer freezes before the screen turns black, and in bright white letters is a message that says, "look in his room". the young man became incredibly frighten before knocking his monitor over causing it to break. after the young man calmed down he decided to look in his brother room like the message had told him, oddly enough the door is unlocked which was strange because his brother had locked his room door the day he had gotten hit by the simi. upon entering the room the young man is greeted to a terrifying site, littered threw out his brothers room is hundreds of sketches of the very colt he had seen on the episode of mlp and on every inch of his brothers walls was a massage written repeatedly in bright red ink,"join the heard." at that very moment the young mans head aches get the worst of him and causes him to pass out. while sleeping he has a strange dream about a colt with no pupils standing next to princess celestia that appeared to be trying to pull a strange blue mist out the young man before celestia shook her head, smiled, and than walked away with the colt. the young man wakes to find himself lying in a hospital bed with a doctor standing over him. the doctor informs the young man that his neighbor hand found him collapsed in an empty room of his apartment and brought him to the hospital. the doctors gave him a laptop and told them that they were running some test to find out why he collapsed. upon checking his e-mail he found a strange message with only two words, "soon enough". after checking his e-mail the doctor returned with a somber look on his face. the doctor informed him that they had found a tumor half the size of a baseball at the base of his skull and he would be lucky if he was still alive by the end of the month. the story end with the young boy posting his story on his blog leaving one conclusive note to everyone who visited. "once you hear the voices and see the signs it is already too late, she will not rest until you are dead, for she can not claim your soul as long as it is tied to your mortal body. I would ask you to stop before it's to late but even I know that would be pointless, because she already owned you the moment you started watching".

this is the abridged version of the story I'm going for and I was going to give it the title of join the heard.
