Just me rambling about anything and everything. From Anime to Cosplay, to just about anything.
My name is Abi (or SerenaTheMoonPony online) and welcome to my blog; Fangirling with Abi!
So, this post is just to let you guys know that I'm not dead; I just haven't updated in a while, and for that I'm really sorry! In my defence, I've been super busy.
Let's see, where to start?
Well, I just recently got accepted to university for early admission and I just recently got my learner's permit (after the fourth attempt at the damn test!), so that's kept me kind of busy. I've also been trying to work on my cosplays for a while now; (I've been mostly procrastinating though!) I'm working on a Hiro Hamada cosplay (from Disney's Big Hero 6)
and I want to make a 'Sci-twi' cosplay (From Friendship Games), but more on that later.
Basically, I just wanted to let you guys know that I am not dead, and I will try to make more posts from here on out (when I can at least!)
I can't guarantee that I am going to be able to update regularly, considering I am a senior and I have a lot of assignments and such that will be coming up in the near future...but I'll worry about those when they come nearer!
Anyway, that's all I have to say, so until next time guys!
This is my basic reaction to the news of another bucking pony hiatus.
Hey everyone,
So (I know, I'm posting a lot of pony stuff lately, but what can I say?! I'll try to post something different within my upcoming posts) I don't know if any of you are bronies/ if any of you heard that Hasbro was pulling yet another pony hiatus. They're going to be splitting the season in half (the last episode of the first half being last week's episode; 'Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?' Which was in retrospect a great way to end the first half of the season) and with Friebdship Games (the new Equestria Girls movie) coming out in September (October 13th for the Blu-Ray/DVD release) I have no idea when they will be showing the rest of season 5.
I personally don't know how I'm going to handle this hiatus (seeing as I almost died towards the end of the 'great pony hiatus of 2014/15'- as I like to call it)
Oh well, I suppose I will find something to do on Saturdays instead of watching ponies...
I seriously don't know what I am going to do now...write fanfiction? Draw some (crappy) fanart? Work on my cosplays? We'll see I guess...
Anyway, that's all I have to say for now so until next time guys!
Hey guys!
So, as you know it's Saturday today which means there was a new pony episode today (and if I'm right, it's the last one for a little while...) and it was a Luna-centered episode and all I can say is that I LOVED IT! It was truly an amazing episode. I loved how we saw more of Luna's personality and true emotions. we saw badass Luna, we saw caring Luna, we saw dreamscape Luna, we saw self-hating/guilty Luna...
I actually really liked seeing these different sides of Luna that the show never really explored until now (especially badass Luna and guilty Luna).
**SPOILERS BELOW**
So, I just recently started to watch 'Supernatural' (I'm not that far in; I'm still only on season one episode thirteen so...) My friend invited me over to her house a couple days ago for Netflix and a sleepover and we started watching 'Supernatural'. The funny part of this, is that my friend LOVES Sam, while I prefer Dean-meaning we don't have to fight over fictional characters!
So, up to date, I am loving the show; I am loving the legends that the show is bringing to life such as the windigos (or wendigos), bloody Mary, etc...
I guess I'm just a huge fan of legends, folklore and mythology; which makes sense considering the shows I like (Supernatural, Once Upon a Time, Merlin, Doctor Who, My Little Pony...) *There is actually a lot of mythology in My Little Pony believe it or not...*
So that's all for this post, I will talk to you guys later!
So, this is just a little update on stuff going on in my life right now.
So to start, it is with great pride that I officially announce that I passed the 11th grade and will be starting my senior year of high school this upcoming September. (I know I really should have done this post like 3 weeks ago, but whatever!)
The only course I was really worried about was Math, but I passed with 67%; my mom is pretty proud of me at least. Considering I suck at Math...
In other news, I'm still writing stories; even have a few posted online. I'm still single if any of you really care about my love-life...
As you can probably tell, I've changed the title of this blog to 'Fangirling with Abi' (it sounds appropriate doesn't it?!) and played around with the template and the colors and all that jazz.
There really isn't much else that's changed since the last time I posted on here about my life I guess.
So that's really all there is to it...
This is SerenaTheMoonPony making an exit!

Also, just because I did change the background of this blog (and the fact that you can't see the whole image) here's what the new background is:
So, as you can tell by the title of this post, I'm going to be talking about the new Equestria Girls movie called 'Friendship Games'. So, a minute and a half trailer for the film has been released (I think it was yesterday- which reminds me; happy *late* Canada day to my fellow Canadians!) and I can honestly say I am super excited to see this movie!
In this movie, the students from Canterlot High are competing in an event called 'the friendship games' against Crystal Prep Academy. Turns out, the Twilight Sparkle of that world attends the rival school and will be competing against the humane 6. From what I saw in the trailer, it looks as if magic is- to quote Sunset Shimmer- 'popping up' at random points in time during the games.
The logo for the new movie
From what I can tell, this movie is NOT going to theaters (sadly), but instead will be premiering on Discovery Family on September 26th! (I'm assuming/hoping it will be uploaded on YouTube the same day).
I'm also hoping that they will release it on Blu-ray/DVD at some point in time as well. (I'm assuming they will seeing as it would most likely be profitable for Hasbro to do that!)
The trailer was amazing! I've watched and re-watched and re-watched it; to say I really enjoyed it would be a major understatement.
I.
LOVE.
IT! (The song in the background is super catchy!)
I seriously can't wait for September now (for Frienship Games AND to be able to start my Senior year of high school, but that's for another post)
Though one of my many questions include: will the dazzlings be in this movie? I mean, in Rainbow Rocks, we actually took the time to sort of reform Sunset Shimmer, will the sirens also get that opportunity?
Below, I found some images from the trailer.
I have this feeling there will be a lot more costume changes in this movie (more cosplay options for us!)
I'm loving Sunset Shimmer's outfit in this screenshot! (Then again, I just love Sunset Shimmer; she is an awesome character!)
I'm also loving the bad-ass-ness of the events (there was also some sort of obstacle course featuring archery; at least I think that's what it was...)
Am I the only one who's loving the uniforms at Crystal Prep?! Plus human Twilight is so cute! I'm gonna die of cuteness overload! (I think I just found my next cosplay project!)
Oh and for those of you who might be interested in watching the trailer if you haven't caught it yet, here it is!
I'm really excited to see this movie and hope some of my questions will be answered. Which reminds me, will Sunset Shimmer be using that magical book we saw in Rainbow Rocks in this movie? Will we even see Equestria in this one? Will Luna and Celestia ever look better than this? (Probably not, but a girl can dream, right?!) Anyways, I am done with this post and I will talk to you guys later!
This is AbiTheOtakuG- wait a minute, no it isn't. I don't know if you guys noticed, but I changed my username (actually, I just changed it today so you probably didn't notice) anyway, I changed it to SerenaTheMoonPony (seeing as that's my username on literally every other social media site I'm on.
Hey guys!
So, as I mentioned in my last post, I want to talk about cosplaying with an insulin pump. Now as you may or may not know, I am a type 1 (or juvenile) diabetic. Meaning I have to take insulin. I used to be on the 'pen needles' like the one below;
Actually, I had that exact one when I was first diagnosed when I was 7 years old. Now, I have an insulin pump:
This is my pump. It usually has a really ugly green silicone case on it, but wanted to show you what it actually looked like.
Anyway, back to the topic at hand; I've only cosplayed maybe once or twice, and each time I had a different placement for my pump; when I wore that Rainbow Dash dress to a convention last summer, it was hidden away under the dress (it was actually in my bra tbh) and when I did my Princess Luna Cosplay for Halloween; it was on my waist-per usual.
It's not that I am ashamed or embarrassed about my pump, it's just sometimes it doesn't-erm- look good with the Cosplay I'm using. In example, my Sailor Venus Cosplay:
You can't see an insulin pump in that photo can you?! That's because I took it off so I could take the pic. With this particular Cosplay, there is no place I can currently place my pump with this on that doesn't look...weird or as if it doesn't belong. But, I have nothing to fear seeing as I can get something so I can hook up my pump to my thigh so that the Cosplay still looks good and you don't feel weird with the pump. There are always ways to interpret the pump into the cosplay as well, though sometimes that may not always be the case like with Sailor Venus. Some cosplays it might be really easy to just leave it on your waist and it'll look fine, meanwhile some of them might not; just be a little creative! My only advice to anyone out there who's looking for advice on how to Cosplay with an insulin pump is the following; find a way to strap it somewhere hidden or find a creative way to interpret the pump into the cosplay.
Well, that's really all I have to say for the time being. Tune in next time for...huh...I'm not exatly sure what I will be talking about next time, but come check it out anyway!
So this week it's March break for us in New-Brunswick, so Tuesday and yesterday I spent the day with my aunt and we went thrift shopping. I found a bunch of cosplay pieces and books within those two days:
I got these books:
- The Lord of the Rings trilogy
- The Hobbit
- Vittorio the Vampire (by Anne Rice)
- Pandora (by Anne Rice)
- Romeo and Juliet
- Alice's Adventures in Wonderland/ Through the Looking-Glass
- City of Ashes (from The Mortal Instruments series)
As you can probably tell by the title of the post, today I will be talking about my progress on my cosplays as well. Though I didn't mention it before, I am currently working on three cosplays:
Sailor Venus from Sailor Moon
Now, for Sailor Venus; I had bought the outfit from a vendor at Animaritme last summer-and it's been hanging in my closet ever since; waiting patiently for me to get a wig and shoes to complete the cosplay-
11th Doctor from Doctor Who &
Ahh! My glorious Doctor! So far, I found a blazer, a shirt & his red suspenders. All I am missing now is a red bow tie. I've found a pair of slacks that are up for debate; so I'll just have to wait and see.
Princess Cadence from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
I've had candybutt's wig since June 2014, and I finally found myself a dress for her! Though I'm not sure if I'll use the wig or not; I might buy another one that looks better. Besides my little wig issue all I am missing is a pair of shoes and a set of ears, wings and a horn.
So yeah, that's all for now, guys. Keep an eye out for my next post about cosplaying with an insulin pump. It's a topic that is rather important to me because I am a pump user myself, and I've been trying to figure out where to hook it without it looking too strange.
This is AbiTheOtakuGirl making an exit and MandoPony is going to play me out!
*Seriously guys, MandoPony & AcousticBrony's song 'Loyalty' is amazing! Go and listen to this wonderful song right now! I mean it; go listen to it THIS INSTANT!*
Ahem, I mean 'Happy late Valentine's Day, Everyone'...nah, I really meant Hearts and Hooves day :)
Anyway, I don't know about you guys, but I actually had an awesome day yesterday; I had two of my friends come over and hang out all day. We watched My Little Pony and talked and goofed off all day. To be honest, it didn't even feel like Valentine's Day; it felt like a typical Saturday!
Usually, on Valentine's Day, I would go on a rant about how I'm still single and am probably destined to be forever alone, blah blah blah... But this year,- yeah I'm still going to complain about the fact that I am single and forever alone, but I am not going to get all moody and depressed about it like I do every other year.
So, moral of the story is even if you were single this Hearts and Hooves day, it doesn't mean you will be single forever like me- haha, I'm kidding...or am I?- someday your prince/princess will come.
And that is really all I have to say this time, so until next time guys!
Hey guys! As you may or may not already know, I am a Brony. And my favorite character on the show is Princes Luna (Moon-butt is best pony!). Now personally, I've always been curious about how things were prior to Nightmare Moon; meaning prior to the pilot episode. That's one of the reason why one of my favorite episodes is "Princess Twilight Sparkle"; seeing as we get a little bit of an 'Equestrian History lesson' in my opinion. So, I then thought 'what if Hasbro made a movie going back to before Luna turned into Nightmare Moon? How about even before Luna and Celestia were crowned princesses of Equestria?' and thus I created a petition to try to make it happen! So if any of you bronies (or pegasisters) out there who think it's a good idea and who are reading this, here's the link. So go and sign this petition right now! If you don't mind that is...
Hey guys!
So, today I'm going to talk about the anime convention I went to this last summer; Animaritime 2014. I wanted to write this post like...seven months ago, but things got in the way and I just forgot about it.
I had a lot of fun during that weekend; I even met a few bronies that I actually still keep in touch with today. I even dressed as Rainbow Dash during the convention. So, if ever any of you guys are in the maritimes in late June; you should totally try to make it to Animaritime! Here are some pictures that I took during that weekend.
This is what I was wearing Saturday and Sunday during the Con :D
Like I said, met a lot of bronies during that weekend, and I couldn't help taking pictures of them, so sorry for the lack of non-pony related cosplay pictures. Anyway, that's all for now guys, so until next time!

Hey Guys, I know I said the next post on here would be about Animaritime and that was like...seven months ago? Yeah, I forgot. Sorry :) (By the way, Happy late New Year/Holdays guys, hope yours were as awesome as mine)
Anyway, today I wanted to talk about Leelah Alcorn. Now, for those of you who may not know, Leelah was a 17 year-old transgender who committed suicide on December 28th. Now, this story really struck me when I first heard of it. Leelah posted a suicide note on Tumblr in which I read a few times, and it actually brought me close to tears. Now, this struck me because I myself am...I don't want to say 'bi-curious', but that's the only word I can really think of to describe my sexuality. (That or Pansexual...) anyway back to my point here; so because of my part in the LGBTQ community, it hurt me to think that this girl killed herself because her parents weren't okay with her being a girl and not the boy they had when she was born. So, because of Leelah's death, me and my friends did a day of silence (or at least we tried to) in her honor. We also wrote 'Rest in Power' on our wrists. Leelah was indeed an inspiration to many people-myself included who dedicated fan art to her, songs even. I myself wrote a poem and dedicated to her on Wattpad. (I'll add the link below for those of you who might be interested in reading it) It's tragic that Leelah had to end her life for people to try and change the way the LGBTQ community are treated. So, I guess the moral here is, if you are gay, lesbian, bi-whatever sexuality you may have- and are feeling suicidal or afraid to come out or are having issues with your loved ones supporting you, just know you are not alone and there is always someone to talk to! (If any of you want to talk to me about this kinda stuff, I don't mind at all. you can email me facebook me, Tweet me, talk to me on Tumblr-whatever floats your boat- I'm willing to listen and try to help you as much as I can <3 )
So that's really all I had to say in this post, so I will leave links to all them accounts I have as well as the poem I mentioned below all this so please feel free to add me or message me about literally anything. I won't bite. Promise (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ
OH! I forgot to mention, I made a little tribute video for Leelah. It's not much, but if you guys want to see it, it's just below this sentence. :)
