You would be correct... on both our visitor message history and your assumption. As far as I can tell, JetshipperKekkaishi, previously known to me as Pearlmasterking, if my memory's still accurate, convinced me to consider Cilan and Iris as a romantically friendly duo in Unova as the summer of 2011 approached. However, during that aforementioned span of time -- October 2011 -- I purchased and read a book that, shall we say, obliterated any faith I once had that the world's major societies would survive the process of modernization as conducted by the United States and its allies, thereby persuading me to search for a new global standard, based on my previous support for cuteness. The level of energy that I saw among the bronies exceeded any possible boundary my imagination could've possessed, such that by February 2013, I was sharing details of said scenario with Janovy, among other Pearlshippers.
