I saw the header... And I squealed. I'm a 19 year old hetero male and I fucking squealed like a little girl! So adorably cute. I'm going to explode. Twice.
Wow! that was fast, and cute! (Dam it!) Sorry for bothering you guys, but someone could finally explain me the reason of bunnies and chocolate eggs in easter? I´m from Mรฉxico and we have the more zombie-like version of Jesus rising from his tomb and scaring the shit out of his fellas.
Also, I watched Hop and it neihter helped me. Anyway, Happy Easter!!!
I posted the bunny suit one on my facebook account today. I hope that's okay. I was suffering from overexposure to extreme cuteness and forgot to ask permission.
@El Maya Actually the whole bunny and egg thing is a relict from old pagan traditions. Eggs and the bunnies are symbols for fertility and the spring. Later the tradition went on and mixed up with the Christian holiday to what we now know. Let's celebrate a zombie carpenter and spring with eggs, bunnies, chocolate and presents and ***! ;)
Seriously, though, that banner with Fluttershy dressed as a bunny is beyond adorable. I mean, Fluttershy was cute before but, geez, she's looking like she's BEGGIN' to be hugged!
On the tradition part - here in Hungary Easter kept its "fertility" feeling. In the country men go and visit the girls of the village, tell them funny perky poems and water them. Literally. We grab a bucket of water and SPLASH. Check youtube if you don't believe me :P At some places you can even pay the firefighters to come out and do it XD In return the girls give painted eggs, sweets, alcohol. In the city it's more "civilized" (obviously less fun), we visit girls, spray some perfume on them, they usualy give choclate eggs and money. And booze ofc.

@El Maya See, sometimes religions like to use something call "syncretism". It means they take elements of the existing religion in an area and make it part of the new religion.
It's a hard sell to tell the locals that they can't have their big party at this time of year. It's a lot easier to just say "Hey, instead of worshiping Ishtar, you should be celebrating Christ's death and resurrection!"
But bits and pieces of the old faith tend to stick around when you do that, so you wind up with eggs and bunnies, which are symbols of fertility and the goddess Ishtar -- whose name is also the source of the words 'Easter' and 'estrus' -- stuck to the christian holiday.
In the same way you have Halloween and all the related Samhain/coming of darkness stuff stuck to All Hallow's Day, which is a celebration of the saints and those who died in the church.

HAPPY EASTER! Unless your atheists, in that case have a nice day :)
I was expecting some Fluttershy, but I'm pretty sure that's a tree up there.
@El Maya
I think it's a German tradition or something. It doesn't really make sense to any of us in America either, but hey, free candy!
*inhales deeply*
Yay.
Jesus died violently so Fluttershy could dress up as a bunny?
imokaywiththis.jpg
*looks at banner*
Oh Lord the Cute!
*hugs Fluttershy*
Happy Easter everybody!
@Anonymous
To be fair, Jesus would have been okay with this too; he was kind of mellow like that.
d'awwwwww
For those wondering why I didn't change the color scheme...fluttershy's colors are BLINDING.
~Yay
*squeak*
~Yay yay yay yay yay yay ♪

A phoenix on Easter. Subtle; I like it.

~ะะตะน!
It's not my fault, Princess Celestia - I didn't mean to accidentally worship someone else than you!
It's Bunnyshy's fault. I was not prepared.
She's an evil enchantress and she did evil dances because I looked her in the eye, she put me in trances.
Please don't banish me and then throw me in a dungeon in the place that you'll banish me to!
:(
@Sethisto Blinding with pure, unsaturated D'AAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWW.
Yay.
Seriously, though, that banner with Fluttershy dressed as a bunny is beyond adorable. I mean, Fluttershy was cute before but, geez, she's looking like she's BEGGIN' to be hugged!
*takes deep breath*
yayyyy!
was that too loud?
@crazyredemu
why thank you sir! =3
Hmm how come there's japanese symbols beneath Fluttershy on that pic? wait is it jap?
~Yay
You rock.
Woo-hoo.
@Anonymous

...yay!
~yay~. Oh...sorry...~Yay~.
HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH--

Fluttershy=A massive ball of cuteness.
Happy Easter everypony! Now go out and:
1. Go to Church,
2. Hug a friend/a Bunnyshy, or
3. Find some chocolate eggs!
Pony moe~
MLP Mini spring Marathon starts in 32 minutes on the Hub. Just a Heads up.
Yay
The phoenix for easter is a great touch!
~Yay~.
There's nothing cuter than Fluttershy in hoofy, bunny jammies. ^.^
Happy Easter everypony!
dawwwwwwwwwwwwww this banner is just awesome :3
~yaaaaaaay~.
~yay~
Sethisto, that banner is an overkill.
On the tradition part - here in Hungary Easter kept its "fertility" feeling. In the country men go and visit the girls of the village, tell them funny perky poems and water them. Literally. We grab a bucket of water and SPLASH. Check youtube if you don't believe me :P At some places you can even pay the firefighters to come out and do it XD
In return the girls give painted eggs, sweets, alcohol.
In the city it's more "civilized" (obviously less fun), we visit girls, spray some perfume on them, they usualy give choclate eggs and money. And booze ofc.
Happy Easter everypony ^-^
*hugs Fluttershy*
~yay
we need to see some MLP Easter eggs am i right???
@crazyredemu
you mean happy chocolate day for atheists
(herm herm)
Yay~
