This is how it all Started.

 

 

At first, my little sister liked it, she didn't love it. She had G3 toys of My Little Pony. Back then, I swore I heard something about being a brony, but I never searched it. Although, what got attracted was people's OC's on youtube with Ponies as their avatars. When G4 finally came out completely on Netflix, my sister started watching it. At one point, when I was bored, I decided to watch the show with her, since my reaction to the show was neutral at first. But at the finale of "Suited for success" I said "Hey, put on another one, I didn't watch the episode completely" And she said "Okay". She put on the next episode, can't remember which, aaand after that episode, I put on another one, and another one, and another one, and before I knew it, I already watched 10 episodes. After that, I decided to go to the internet and find out anything about My Little Pony. I was sure glad there was a ton of stuff, even fan made episodes were made! After a week or two, I decided to check all that ruckus about 'Cupcakes HD'. Not going to discuss much about it, all I'm going to say is that I preferred Smile HD. I wasn't a huge fan of the songs on the show, but when I heard all those remixes... Gawd.... They were awesome. Then, about 2 days later, I talked about me being a brony at school with my friends. NO ONE at my school were bronies, so I am basically what ignited the fire. So far, I've 'Infected' 4 people. My goal is to infect my entire class... 

 

 

 

Soon...

I was on a bus, as I do every morning and afternoon to school, and I was sitting with one of my friends. He was watching the MLP parody's (Like SHED.MOV, MAGIC.MOV ect.) I thought they were cool and pretty funny. In the next week, it was holidays, so I decided to watch some of the MLP FiM, and got hooked :D

I'm going to be perfectly honest here. I'm a minecraft geek and thought it would be hilarious to get the MLP mod and go on a MLP server as a joke. I hopped on brohoof, and everyone was talking about ponies. I thought to myself: wow. what a load of weirdos.

 

Second time i went on brohoof, no-one i knew from the first time were online. Someone started talking about Fluttershy, and i decided to go find out WHAT THE HELL they were talking about. I googled "My Little Pony" and the top search answer was 'youtube: my little pony season 4 episode one' 

I watched it, and was like, well, what happened next? I watched episode two, and was like:

 

Well. That was actually really good. I think I've joined them. I think I'm a brony.

 

I'm still having to go on the wiki every now and again to find out what people are talking about, because i'm a fairly new brony xD

So, It was last summer, at night in a resort.  My bro was watching Equestria Girls on an IPad.  So i was kinda a brony and I watched it for a few seconds with him every now and then, because I was embarrassed of watching it, then, it came.  I saw the Rainbow Dash scene.  I fell in love.  But now I don't watch MLP just 'cause of that, I watch it because I like it and I'm not embarrassed that I do.  I even told my classes that I do.

I was once an antibrony, but I am the type of person who doesn't make opinions unless they've tried/seen it, so I watched the first episode on youtube and just got completely addicted to it, although i didn't tell anypony until a while later. And that was how equestria was made.

Teens React to My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. It started with this reaction video.

 

Sparked my curiosity supported by Smile song LTS remix and Discord LTS Remix. At first it seemed unconventional to watch this. But consumed by curiosity (As always). Finished whole 3 seasons before the start of the school year. Kinda shy to say that I'm a brony, but I'm getting there, eventually. Started to see some of my friends who was a brony with a MLP keychain a friend has and we looked at it at the same time.

It's a really simple story.

First I thought mlp is weird and nothing for grown men.
Then I get familiar with the fandom music and Fanfictions (on Youtube) and I watched Swarm of a century 
At the first time it was to colorful and i left after few seconds.

On anotherr day I was really bored so I watched the first two episodes.

The End was I watched half season 1 in one night.

First I hate the songs (yeah german synchro >.<) but the english songs are really greta and  I really like them.

Thats all about how I become Brony

My friend was a brony before I was one. Before I became one I always thought My Little Pony was stupid. Mainly because my opinion was based on he old show. But since I found out she was a brony i thought "if my friend likes this it can't be THAT bad" So I watched it and once I finished the season, I can officially say that I am a brony

I found the show through the Call of Duty community. I'd join games all the time where people would be talking about it, and I was was entertained by the uproar that would happen between bronies and non-bronies, so I thought I'd see what the big deal was. Within about 5 episodes I had gotten past the whole "little girl" thing and I was hooked.

At first I thought MLP was just a show for little girls. The I found the magic of memes. I saw it had comedic value and exploited it, annoying some of my friends to no end while making others laugh. The joke eventually got old; however, I was already on the path to the d̶a̶r̶k̶ ̶s̶i̶d̶e̶ bronydom. I should have listened to Yoda; I shouldn't have let the ponies get in my head, man! I can hear the voices right now, like a group of deranged tulpas! Help me.

Well I was playing Minecraft, and then someone was talking about it.  At first I didn't think much about, but then I was channel surfing and saw the show and gave it a shot.  I loved the show ever since, and sometimes even sneak my Kindlefire into bed with me when everyone is asleep and look at various mlp:fim and brony sites, sometimes even watch episodes on Dailymotion.

I wouldnt call myself a Brony, but how I went from indifferent to a fan would be something like this (If I recall)

 

Using the timestamp on the video that triggered it all, I believe it was somewhere around early March 2012 that I started to get curious after hearing rumours about the show getting more and more male fans (Just found it a bit strange at the time that it had such a substantial ammount of male fans when the franchise, I thought, is super girly, but hated none of the people that admitted to being fans of it)

 

My curiosity got bigger after hearing about the issue with she-who-shall-not-be-named (*cough*Derpy*cough*), after superpsyguy made this.

Spoiler

 

Watched the initial bit of The Last Roundup (altered and unaltered) to find out what all the fuss was about (a.k.a I wanted to find out why people were getting super defensive/offended by a cartoon horse). Aaaand I guess something just clicked.

 

Watched the rest of the ep, realised that I liked what I saw quite alot, and began my marathon to catch up with where the show was at the time :P

Funnyjunk checking as usual. Blah. Blah. Heh. Derp. I see some pony references. See someone talking about how he became a brony. See mlp-fim.com mentioned in comments. I did not hate MLP:FiM and i was also a little curious but not enough yet. Bookmarked the site.

2 weeks later...

Cleaning through bookmarks. Wow i have a lot. Oh god. Ooooh god. But i have plenty of time. Oh what is this? Mlp-fim? Well i have so much time, i don't see why shouldn't i see it.

After 22 minutes

That was nice, I want to watch the other episode too

After 22 minutes... again

Oh, not bad. But I cannot get an opinion of something after the first 2 episodes. I promised to myself that i'll watch the first 4 episodes and if i liked it i'll keep watching, if not i won't. But i had no more time that day

After a day

Oh this is so nice i like it.

After another day

Ooh i suddenly want to ponify my life

After another-other day

I. Love. This.

I was the biggest freaking hater of my little pony. Then my friend kept bugging me over and over and over. then I just tried to watch it. My brothers and my cousins and a bunch of other people laughed at me, but you know, who gives a crap?

So then I watched the first two episodes. I loved it. But then I started to get sort of bullied, but I still had a lot of friends standing up for me. In short, this is what happened

My brother actually got me into My Little Pony. I was on my computer playing Doom, then my big brother walked in and said, "Hey, do you know about bronies?". I said "Aren't bronies people who watch My Little Pony? I told him that I wanted to watch the show and he did to. But when I was about to watch the pilot episode, my biggest brother(who is not a brony) said rude things about us becoming bronies and watching a show for little girls, but I ignored him and watched it with my brother. After watching, I was instantly hooked onto the show and began recording episode after episode. But my dad got angry at me and he switched our tv channel package, which did not include The Hub. But because my big brother is so awesome, he got me a season 1 disc and I watched every episode numerous times because the show is so, should I say, "Enjoyable". But what really made me like bronies was you guys, Brohoof.com . And I know that you all bronies love the show so I can have a conversation with fellow bronies, worldwide. I am glad to be a brony, brohoof to you all ----/)

Well, I've been collecting LPS since I was little. Once I heard they made a show, I went in an outrage. I then watched one of the episodes and I read in the comments that MLP was better. I was thinking about Generation 3, and I was wondering how people could love it so much. Watched the first episode and been into the show since 2012. I also ditched LPS because I don't collect toys anymore. :I

can i just like, majorly bump this?

i wrote something back in 2013 but i think we should bring this thread back if anyone wants to share their story.

 

so it goes by years:

 

2011: alright so at the beginning of 2011 i watched a clip of winter wrap up. however i was too embarrassed to be watching the show, so i stopped for a while until i found someone talking about season 2 of the show in september 2011. i checked out the first ep., but not the 2nd, since it wasn't out yet. so i stopped watching it bc i was a whiny little impatient 9 year old

2012: in late 2012, i heard people talking about the show again. i decided to go back and watch the 1st and 2nd season for fun, and i found it to be pretty good. so i kept watching.

2013: i continued watching the show on a daily basis, soon wandering onto brohoof on april 25th. so innocent

2014: in early 2014, i began to drift away from ponies and towards wander over yonder. i was so addicted to woy, that mid way into season 4 of ponies, i gave up caring. late 2014, i started getting into multiple shows, like gravity falls, steven universe, shows like that.

2015: today, my little pony isn't as big a part of my life as it was in 2013, but i still watch the show, along with many others, such as we bare bears, star vs the forces of evil, steven universe, gravity falls, wander over yonder, and a few others.

 

good life.

Well bumped.

I've been an avid fan of all cartoons for a very long time, so it was only a matter of time before MLP ended up on my radar. After I heard good things from a few people, I decided to give it a try and haven't looked back since.

I was in the fourth grade....

 

 

*Cartoony flashback ripple*

 

So, at school, I was ok. It was elementary, so we had recess. I was going to sit at an empty table to eat a snack, when one of my older, sixth grade (Yes elementary goes to sixth where I live) friends beckoned me over to her table. She was sitting with a lot of her friends. I sat down, really scared I was gonna get eaten, when the girl on my right started to talk to me. We introduced ourselves, then she asked if I liked My Little Pony. I was like "Heck no!" because I thought it was for little girls at the time, and I thought she was just testing me. Turns out, she liked it, and recommended it to me. I looked up the first episode on YouTube, and HO-LEE SHUT. I could not stop watching, it was like an episode a day. This was at the time when Hasbro put the Cretaceous-long gap between season 3 and 4, so it was a while when I was without my precious babies. But now Cartoon Horses. Anyway, I had another friend, who I now know is a little s***, and I told her about my new love for ponies. She mad fun of me and told other people, and I got bullied. LOTS OF FUN. (Not really anymore, in Jr. High, people are too busy to notice or care about you) So I suffered depression, and which is why I can be shy, not as bodacious around others as I used to be. It lasted into fifth grade, but then the next year, the little s***s were annoying, rude, and would not cease with the sexual jokes, but I got used to 'em. Now I live happily ever after :D But my old elementary friends still don't support me, they never did :/.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

yeah

I used to be in the FNAF fandom (cringefest, I know) and I knew The Living Tombstone because of his FNAF songs. Everyone kept talking about an older song of his called "Discord" and I wanted to see what that was all about. I clicked on the video and I realized "Oh lord, it's a pony song" but I still listened to it. And I'm glad I did. I instantly fell in love with it, and I kept it on repeat whenever I had the chance. But I wanted to hear more music like "Discord" so I looked up more and fell even more in love with these characters. The moment I knew I crossed the point of no return was when I listened to "Picture Perfect Pony" by MandoPony. Fell in love with that song, and before long I wanted to watch the actual show. The first episode I ever saw was "Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?" I watched that on Netflix, and I had to watch more. It grew into the eventual pony addiction I have today.
