Then I started watching the abridged series (think: multiple) on Youtube, then I thought, "This is pretty damn funny!"
Then came the day when my anime club told us we would be watching MLP: FiM. And I thought, "Eh, might as well check it out..."
Watching the actual show, I could not stop smiling! (My face:
And though I have yet to to fully immerse myself (still "in the stable" so to speak), I do consider myself a legit brony.
Derp.

i made an earlier post that had sandviches on itFor me, it went like this. First I began seeing it pop up in videos related to stuff I already liked, TF2 and such, but i didn't pay it much mind. Then after listening to one of many TF2 based songs on youtube, I saw a video called TF2-Sandviches! by Zeurel. I watched it and thought it was fantastic. Then, I figured out that it was an animated version of 2007Excalibur2007's video, which was itself a TF2 sentence mixing version of the Cupcakes song. The fact that I liked this perplexed me. Shortly afterward, on an afternoon fraught with boredom, I chose to try watching the show. In 3 days, I watched the whole series, and though I laughed at myself with embarrassment every time the intro played for the first 20 episodes, I was hooked. Soon, I would call myself a brony.

Hmm, I was kinda interested in it because it had a lot of attention and memes. My friend encouraged me to watch it, so I did. I was put off by the singing and stuff, but other than that I liked it :3. What keeps me here? Community and the show itself.

Well, I've secretly been a cartoon nut all my life, and I couldn't deny how great the show was. I was sold the second Fluttershy was introduced. Been following it every day ever since.

i was going to stairs when my sister comes out of her bedroom to ask me something. " Are you a brony?" " No, what is that?" "Its a male who watches my little pony" I was shocked. to know that, she must watch, that show. " you watch my little pony? THAT SHOW SUCKS. how can you possibly like that show!!!!???" I remember the commercials from when they were back in the times of g3 or g2 and that was terrible, the only commercial I would mute as a 5 year old. she just told me that it was a LOT better from back then but I just left, trying to contemplate that my sister watches that show. after about 2 weeks of my sister talking about it, I decided, okay I guess I look it up after being told that you could find the shows on youtube. I still remember typing in " my little pony friendship is magic" and thinking " Oh god I am going to regret this". watched first part of first episode and regreted it. after 3 days I came back on to see the next one, and the next one. Saying to myself I am NOT a brony. One day I was sick with stomach flu, and had to stay in bed the whole day. there I took out my laptop and watched the rest of the show. at the end of the day, I said with no regrets, " I AM a brony"

It started with the meme. When, it started getting popular online, I instantly has the assumption that it sucked. I ignored everything relating to it, and laughed in the faces of its fans. Later, I decided to start looking at the pony section of Memebase. It was funny, but I didn't really get it. I eventually saw how obsessive people actually got over the show, but still refused to watch it. After awhile, I was told to go watch the show by some people on a forum. I watched an episode. It was okay. I watched another. Better. I watched like four more. Quite good. Then I became more involved with the show. I'm not a "MLP extremist", but I am a fan of some fanfic, fanart, and the show. Just goes to show you that even the darkest person has a soft side.

A few months ago, my friend informed me that he was a brony. I laughed, due to the false description in my head. He clarified what a brony was, and over the next few months, everybody I knew started becoming bronies, especially those who seemed least likely. They all dared me to watch the first two episodes, and the rest is history.
If I hadn't seen the Adult Swim ad, I wouldn't have paid any attention to my friend's comment, and never would have watched the show. So I guess I owe Adult Swim for my love of MLP.

ThatRatty has another forum for his other minecraft server and for TF2. On it a pony themed thread got started, at first I kind of loled and thought it was a joke, then I realized people were being serious about liking it, so for a while I just thought people were being weird and I tried ignoring the thread. Fortunately for me I somehow kept on going back and looking at the thread, and finally I decided to watch it just to see what all the fuss was about.
This is me during my early experience with MLP:FiM
First couple of minutes:
Well this seems like your typical overly cutesy girls show
After Watching the First Two Episodes:
Heh heh that actually was pretty good...but the next one's gonna suck...right?
After Watching the third and fourth episodes:
Okay ponies you've proven me wrong, this show is awesome!
Many episodes later:
THIS IS THE BEST SHOW EVER!

Basically I saw someone wearing a brony shirt and I thought to myself "that is a nice shirt" but I wasn't quite convinced.Later on after 2 months, another brony but he was talking about the show itself, I said to myself "What is going on? Why are there suddenly bronies?". I went to the Minecraft forums to check for mods (when the version was 1.0) and I saw a couple threads related to Mine Little Pony and Ponycraft mods, I checked it out and I had the same idea(Looks nice and all) but I downloaded MineLP and didn't touch the file in thought "maybe I'll think about it when theres a time".On Youtube I watched the Yogscast "Sunshine of Ishapony" series, I was starting to somehow get interested to it.Then I stumbled upon one of Brohoof.com's videos which was Running of the Leaves event,I really like the race BTW.
Until..
I played Terraria. sometime later I kept getting killed by Unicorns and I said "Alright,Alright I give up unicorns. you win..."
The end, in which I watched the show until the end of season 2
Being a part of MLP changed my life quite a lot and better than playing too much shooter games (it was completely miserable except for Fallout)

Well then, time to tell the tale of how I came to be here. Let's start when the series was somewhere around mid-way through season 1. I was browsing the internet as it was back then, playing games, chatting to friends. The usual stuff. But then one day one of my friends said to me over Steam chat: "omg (Person who shall remain anon) is a Brony!!!" (I wont name my friend either) But back then I had never heard ANYTHING about MLP at all, let alone the FiM series. I asked them what a Brony was and they explained it to me. After that I never really paid much attention to bronies or MLP.
A long while after this I stumbled across Apples.MOV and Dress.MOV. Nothing really happened, I found them kinda funny and disturbing...
At around the time I estimate to be 2-3 weeks ago I found my self watching this: I was clearly on the weird side of YouTube again. I then started watching similar things involving characters from the FiM series.
A day or two later I found my self hesitating over the Play button on the first episode of season 1 from MLP FiM. I started watching it in the smallest screen size and took several breaks from it to try and distract myself with other things. But curiosity took hold and I watched all the way through to episode 5 when I realised how much I liked it (Which was a lot). Although I still feel it's a bit...ehm...'not right' (If that makes any sense) and that at least 1 of my friends is very much against Bronies.
I've nearly finished season 2 (2 episodes to go) and I'm looking forward to season 3. But I'm not sure if I consider myself to be a fully fledged 'Brony' since I merely enjoy the show for what it's for and I'm not overly obsessed with it.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
