How did you become a brony? *Share Your Story!*

Posted 18 January 2013 - 12:34 AM
I feel I should offer some sort of an explanation. But first, just to clarify, I still love the show with as much fervour as the next person who would call themselves a brony. The show and some parts of the fandom (my friends on Brohoof for example) are still considered to be wholly fun things in my opinion. The term "Brony" relates to a bunch of fans who enjoy My Little Pony, but I know that I am not a fan. Believe it or not, the term "Fan" is derived from the word "fanatic." I am not a fanatic, but also, besides these facts, a label seems higly unecessary if you just enjoy the fandom. WAIT! I agree that some of you might just like the name and not personally care about the previously stated facts. I agree that yes, it is fine to be called a Brony if that is what you want, but don't expect everyone to want that name.
Not quite done, we come to the religious point of view. When someone clarifies that a friend of theirs has become "converted to Bronyism," I often facepalm very hard. The word "convert" means to change from one thing to another, but that is either relative to material terminology or religion. I have no real problem with people saying any of these things, it is just not something I do myself just because I like a show.
I found my love of MLP through someone who used to be my friend. A lot of you know him, he told me about Brohoof. That's it really.

well, i'm new here. so just background for now ![]()
but i've seen the whole brony stuff from a distance. and i have a friend that is crazy about the ponies. i thought he was just childish and a perv.
so he bribed me.
he knows i like brownies. and his sister is quite a good cook. so he came by with freshly baked brownies, shoved them under my nose. and then pushed a harddisk in my hands "while we eat this, we watch this"
i resisted as long as possible, but after 1,5 seasons (it was quite a large tray of brownies) i was hooked ![]()

One can never resist the call. I met my fate the same way as well, except I dared myself. Possibly the best mistake I have ever made.

I am in college, and I first started getting curios at the beginning of last semester. I was in two computer classes and I had already gone over everything that the books had to offer. They were basic programming classes, and I already had the basic, I just needed to learn the languages.
So I was looking through youtube for more anime videos, and mlp fan videos jest kept popping up, though some inappropriate. So I got curios and tried to watch an episode, twice. I could not get past the intro song, and the inappropriate videos on youtube did make me wonder what kind of people watched this show.
it was at the end of the semester that things began to change. I was introduced to a bunch of guys at my school how called themselves Bronies. Though I must admit I thought they said brownies at first until one corrected me. after seeing guys my oun age watching the show I decided to give it a fair try. I went into one of the study room for some privicy so that I would not have my pride get the best of me, and started the first episode. My original agreement with myself was to watch the first 3 episodes. I watched the first 7. I still didn't say that I was a brony, but I had to admit that the show was not all that bad. I still had those images inside of my head from the youtube videos and did not want to be associated with that.
Then a mouth later I ran into a guy in my neighborhood that was wearing a Fluttershy shirt. He was nothing like the bronies I had seen so far. We stayed out for a wile just talking, and he introduced me to a song called Great to be Different. And explained to me what the fan-base was really like. By the end of that night I was proud to call myself a brony. I even went to my first brony meet-up group on the first.

I started watching all the episodes and found out that there was a social website all about it. And that was how i found out about bronies and MLP ![]()

I guess if I'm being honest.
My friends told me about the show, one of them had a girlfriend who was ALL against it. It was funny and she told me to never get into it.
I said nothing at the time and gaffed the show off.
After a little while ( like most people ) the thought crossed my mind that "One episode wouldn't hurt"
I watched the pilot and was hooked, but I didn't call myself a brony at the time.
I watched an episode a day and slowly got into the fandom.
I'm here now, our fandom isn't the best but I wouldn't choose any other above it.

So, I was screwing around on Yahoo Games News (No clue why I was even reading it) and stumbled across an article about Minecraft.
[Blah blah, discovered Blocktopia community, developed a severe closeted hatred for one of the admins because of his rudeness]
One day, we were on a Teamspeak server. An admin, Phantom, was doing one of his Friday night "bad fanfiction" readings, which typically began with a reading from Hans Von Hozel. On this particular night, someone suggested Cupcakes.
This was the dawn of it.
You see, at that time, Blocktopia had just one resident brony, techdude300. Once he noticed that Phantom was reading Cupcakes, he muted his headset and freaked out in textchat.
After getting quite a laugh at this (I barely listened to the reading), I actually asked techdude about the show, so he linked me the first two episodes.
The following will make every person in this forum shun me:
I asked if Rainbow Dash was male.
He was furious.
That's basically it.
That, and I saw an ad for it long before I watched it. I quickly likened Rainbow Dash to anime (for some inexplicable reason) and deduced that Twilight Sparkle was meant to fit the "emo" stereotype.

Someone on a forum I went to (Nothing Involved with MLP) posted a MLP zombie apocolypse team so I was interested by it so I started watching the Seasons on YT. I got all the seasons non-stop and loved them so much I watched them another 4 times each. Then I became completely obsessed I got pony figures shirts, hats, belts, dvds. I am working on a MLP custom made iPhone case also
. I got trading cards also. I really don't care what people think of me when they see me wearing that stuff the only thing awkward is that when I look at MLP stuff at Target or something I don't want people to think I am a pedophile, also I am saving my money for Bronycon this august!

I was once a guy who didn't think too fondly of the "bronies", but I didn't hate on them. Then, I met a brony, became close friends with them - they then showed me the "This day aria" song from Season 2 finale. I didn't like it the first 3 times. but they made me sit there and listen to the whole thing, and I liked it after 5 or so attempts of listening to it. So, freely I sat and watched the first 5 episodes at first, with an open mind. I actually quite enjoyed it. So I watched all of season 1. Then all of season 2. Then guess what, I did it again. Only then did I accept I was a brony. ![]()

On my birthday, in the morning after the sleep over with my friends, I decided to watch an episode. I didn't get through it, but my friend still has a video she took on her Ipod of my brother watching. Anyways, I wanted to know how it ended, and I couldn't help myself although I was so very ashamed. A week or so later I closed the door to my parent's bedroom and watched it on netflix. Just an episode to see how it ends, but it was a two parter. I went back to their bedroom and needed to know how it that small portion ends; I just couldn't help myself.
It went on like that for a few months, I would close the door in the morning and watch MLP. Even when I ran out of episodes I watched them over until about august. A few days after the running of the leaves I joined brohoof and I just want to thank you. After months of being with you guys you have molded me into a fine brony! In two months I will have been a brony for a whole year, and I am really glad I found this fandom. You have all made my first fandom a success!

I was In disney world over christmas break, and while we were there I saw two grown men (looked to be about 24) just talking and laughing.. but one of them was wearing a Vinyl Scratch T-shirt and the other one was wearing a shirt of pinkie saying "DIDNEY WORL!" I didnt recognize them so I went back to the room to look it up.. I then was redirected to My little brony, equestria daily, and here.... The end

The first time I saw ponies was in Minecraft. They did seem a little interesting, but they were far too girly for me to pay much attention to. Later on, I started playing TF2. While looking through the servers, I saw one with the tag "pony." I was new to TF2 at that time and didn't know servers could have you download custom sounds and models, so I wasn't expecting to actually find ponies. Once I got into the server, there were indeed ponies. At the time, I thought it was kind of funny that they actually had ponies and pony quotes. I decided it was alright, because I was shooting at ponies. After a while, the ponies became more and more interesting, and then I decided to try an episode. I was hesitant to watch it, but I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. A few days later, my sister happened to ask me to watch the first two episodes with her. I watched the first one, but then I bailed on the second one once Pinkie Pie started singing. However, I did finish watching it later when I was alone. After that, I began to watch the rest of the episodes and then I became a brony.

It started off when Discovery Kids was to be replaced with The Hub. I was ticked when I heard the news. I wasn't interested in any of the shows, yet the new MLP interested me for some strange reason. Fast forward about a year and a half, and my older sister is into the show. Not as much as we were into Adventure Time, although she watched quite a bit of it. She sees Luna Eclipsed on, and makes me watch the second half. Although, she doesn't even touch Season 2 until I've begged her a million times, but that was a couple months ago. So, I enjoyed it, and told myself that I should watch it. A few months later, I see my favorite YouTube musician, Pyro (I don't even remember what his old or new full username are anymore) started watching the show and was listening to The Aviators. So, I forced myself to watch the show, and I LOVED it. It took me a while to catch up, as the first episode I've seen airing was the Crystal Empire. So yeah, huge brony now.

It was the last episode of season 3 of MLP.

BAM I TURNED INTO A BRONY!
Oh and a ton of other stuff.
I'm MEGA HOOKED with MLP now!

Once upon a time... I was gonna make a school presentation about famous pop stars or songs. Then i discovered pony videos in youtube. I felt like bored, since i didn't wanna watch them, cuz i thought they just wasted my time. I had a presentation about Michael Jackson, and when i was done, a girl in the class had a presentation about My Little Pony. Everyone in the class complained about that idea they thought was stupid. But not me... I felt like i was the onliest person in the class that focused on watching the presentation, because i had watched old seasons when i was younger, and the girl with the presentation showed us the first episode of season 1. I loved the artwork and animation. I came home and wondered if i should watch the other episodes, but instead... I told my little brother what stupid thing the girl in the class had as presentation. I did not think about what i said, but i went into my room and watched the rest of the episodes. I discovered millions of bronies across the internet and came here after i got Minecraft. SO THAT's HOW I BECAME A BRONY. (And now i don't know if my little brother is a non-brony or a hater, since he didn't become a brony, just watched a few episodes and thought i was stupid watching them.)
So... The End!
P.S. I think there is only 1 other brony in my whole school. My next mission may be to talk with him about MLP. Wish me good luck, bronies!

Well to be specific; when I was in a group. We weren't the soccer players, or the swag people doing their shuffle circles. We were the gamers and the internet-fad. We repeat everything off the internet. My friend 'Erick' told me about a guy named pewdiepie (note this was before he hit a million subs and went insane) I watched pewdiepie alot, then he held a 'Brostep Contest' and Omnipony won. I liked his music and was confused about the word brony and how inspirational it was. I said to myself " Such talent and music inspired by a show, I have to see this." After watching a few episodes I became a brony. I watched, bought, and tried to get close to the group. I even turned my group of friends into bronies.
Then the brony hater nation attacked. Calling us "fags" or "Horse-F*ckers." you get the point. Even my little brother went against me, Saying it was "gay." I don't get it what the problem is? Its like watching a show; Walking Dead, Doctor Who, Lost, Orphan Black.
-I switched schools, and the whole school is a giant brony community. HAHAHAHHA I'm in heaven.

Ok, you wanna know MY story? Well, here goes:
Last year, my brother told me to search "MLP:FIM" on YouTube. I kept pestering him to tell me what it was, but he wouldn't budge. So I searched it.
and when what come up, I was like "Ehhh...what?". I bet you probably were too. I then told him I'd watched it, and he then basically told me he was a "brony", and that's pretty much the story. Wow, seems much shorter on pen and paper. Well, screen and...well, you know what I mean!
And I'm also trying to get the rest of my friends to be bronies; two of which I have succeeded in doing. Well, one really, the second one watches different generations.

I had first seen the show when flipping through channels during the airing of "The best night ever". I watched a small amount of it and thought nothing of it for a while, until i noticed a friend of mine watching an episode much later. I then proceeded to watch all of the episodes over the course of the next 2 weeks (season one and roughly half of season 2). The music bronies produced is what sealed the deal for me though. This fandom produces a lot of amazing things and is filled with a lot of talent, unlike most of the other fandoms i had seen up until that point.

I originally accidentally clicked on and read an article about how weird bronies were, but it simply pissed me off. Honestly, part of my distaste was simply the homophobic tone of the article, which personally brought back a few forgettable memories of coming out
I almost watched an episode, but this alone did not motivate me enough though.
Eventually, my Esperanto tutor changed his profile pic to a derpy meme that read:
"Ili dirigis min ke mi povus farigxi cxio, da mi farigxis bronjon." -which means roughly- "They told me I could become anything, so I became a brony."
I simply had so much in common with him that I had to see check it out so I did and fell in love with it ![]()

Well, 2 years ago in spring, me and my friends were hanging around the schoolyard. They told me to watch My Little Pony, and I laughed. But shortly after, I watched a few random bits of a few episodes. I loved it. I quickly got to know the characters, and ended up watching the whole series. Afterwards, they kind of lost interest, but I only gained. I stumbled on the fandom on Memebase, and thats when I discovered the horrors of our fanbase. Yet I also discovered the magic in it. It truly is a splendid thing.
As of recent, I haven't had time to really watch episodes or play on here much. Parents don't know, and I've been having a difficult time at school with stress and anxiety. I still love every bit of our warm community.

Well, at first I thought Bronies were just a bunch of people obsessed with an ordinary kid show.
I avoided them and really disliked them. Eventually I gave in a little and watched a video consisting of Rainbow Dash voice cracks. I was a little more into it after that. ![]()
I finally watched "Keep Calm and Flutter On", as my first episode. I found it funny and calming to watch. Then, after watching more episodes I saw that it was based more in an open fantasy world than a girly sparkly world. There was actually danger and some pretty imaginative things (Timber Wolves, anyone?). Then I got into the Brony fandom, music and such. It's pretty impressive, all these works of art and remixes and such. The show really brings out the imagination in people. It's a very fresh template for works of art.
That is my story. ^w^

I dont even know exactly how i became a Brony.
Im on Youtube like all the time. and almost every Day.
I always get many recommended videos with Ponys, i watched some when the title said something interesting.
Hmm. the first thing i saw about the Brony-fandom was on Kids react i think.
I have seen Ponys everywhere on youtube, but never knew about the fandom untill this kids react video.
I thaugt it was very interesting, and i wanted to see the Series myself, to see how good it really is ... well thats what i said, but it took me a while to even start with watching it xD
I told my little brother about this fandom during this period, and he was like a fan imidiatly, he was bored and watched it the same day i told him, well, it ended up with him becoming a Brony XD.
After listening to him talking about how good and funny the show is, i finally started watching it myself, and became a Brony ![]()
My brother and i told our parents about it, they approve of it. Best parents in the world.
They werent even surprised ^^

For my part, it has been a quite long processus. Before, I had no opinions about MLP. I just noticed that many guys were surprisingly appreciating the show, and I started thinking "But WHY the hell not ?".
Some years later, I started working on a fanmade Nintendo DS Homebrew - (aka "Super Smash Bros. Rumble") - and I easily made cool friends that liked MLP.
I became quite interested by that, and looked at the MLP Wiki.
FInally, I took a look at the characters' list, and saw Fluttershy. That's how it all started ! And now, I made an indestructible link with the MLP universe, because it is another great turn in my life ^^

My Story:
I was just watching youtube and I spotted a video that I like so I moved my mouse over but I accidently clicked on S01E13 MLP FIM (Weather fall friends) I didn't change the video because I was curious.. I AM A VERY CURIOUS PONY! DEAL WITH IT! ...So anyway I noticed how the ponies looked... different! In fact, everytime I saw a pony on TV it would be G3, G2 or G1 but never... and I mean NEVER! Had I seen G4 ponies! (When I was just a little girl/filly I watched the G3,G2 and G1) Then I left the computer... The next day I went back on and typed "MLP" And it came up with thousands of MLP videos and my face lit up with joy. When I noticed there was a minecraft server (Yeah.. you guessed it! BROHOOF!) I went on it, did so many fun things and became a true pony... THE END!

Then I went to my school, and I pretty much told all my friends I was a pegasister and about the show. A few of them checked it out, some just went "meh" but others ended up loving it!
I started looking at fan works, and discovered a lot of great music! Now I have over 40 pony-related songs downloaded onto my podcasts...:L I've also seen a lot of GREAT artwork and fan comics. Man, this fandom is mind-blowing.
And, that's about the gist of it. I've been a fan of my little pony for about a year now.

1-1.5 years ago, it's like my anniversary of bronyism, when I really enjoyed a cartoon called " The amazing world of gumball." I also loved YTPs, so tried my best to find a gumball YTP and every single one I found had something to do with ponies, so I saw the first episode in related videos, so I watched it and I fell in love with mlp. I was very nervous to tell my family my new liking, but a Death Battle with mlp in it released one week after watching my first episode helped me tell my family I liked it. I showed them the death battle, showing them how cool the show actually is and how good the characters are. It turned out very well and my entire family gladly excepts my liking. So that's some stuff on how I became a brony.

Meh, long story short, this server actually got me to become a brony .-. at first I was like others hating on bronies but then I found this server and the MineLP mod, grew interested and became attached after watching the first episode of season one. So yeah, I owe most of this to Brohoof. I wouldn't be a brony today if I didn't stumble upon this server/website.

There are actually two causes for me to become a brony, which were numerous YouTube videos I kept seeing suggested for me, and through websites like Memecenter which started having some brony-related memes. After becoming interested, I started searching DeviantArt and Youtube for more information, and after watching the Ballad of the Brony documentary and the first few episodes of FiM (mistakingly watching a g2 episode), I got hooked. A couple of days later, searching the MinecraftForums, I saw Verdana's MineLP mod, which I had previously ignored, and I joined Brohoof, learning more about the brony fandom. I'm still a closet brony, though I have told some people, I'm too Fluttershy to wear stuff like brony shirts in public and stuff.

Myfriend was a brony, and he kept on trying to get me to watch it. At first, I was like, "oh hell no." But after awhile, I watched the first episode and thought it wasn't all that great. He gave Me a flashdrive with season 1 on it, so I watched a few, and was (sort of in a way) hooked. He told me to read a fanfic called "The problem with magic," and to be honest, that is the real this that got me hooked. The story is so fuggin awesome, that I just had to watch the show to understand it better. I found Brohoof through the FTB launcher for the Brony pack, waaaay before I was really into the show.
This story brought to you by butter. Mmmm, butter.

I lost a bet. Then one of my brothers became a brony and the other one just hates everything. The bet was that if I lost, I would have to watch all three seasons. I was tied up in a chair and locked in my room with a bunch of bronies. It was also attributed to the fact that I am a Gmod server moderator and about 20% of my coworkers are bronies. Along with that I also started asking incredibly stupid questions, counteracting flaws and pointing out references ie Domokun is on one of Twilight's bookshelves, and Spike is remarkably similar to Spyro. I also shout random things and I am incredibly insane. Bronies are the one of the few reasons I have any friends. I'm not gonna go into detail on my friends but I am going to say that they hate it when I nuke them with watermelons.

I was searching around on youtube for mc stuff when skydoesminecraft did the mine little pony mod-thing, and that inspired me.
I searched up mine little pony and got a whole p*ssload of nonsense, but the one thing that wasnt nonsense was... a brohoof youtube channel.
so I looked up brohoof.com and came here!
I am now a brony in secrecy. I never comment on mlp videos, since that would destroy my secret. my youtube accounts are CallMeKuKuNao and Meepalooka1337, and I have no videos on these accounts.

My one is quite a weird one...
I was on Omegle one day, bored as hell. I did the ask question thing and I inserted the question as "What's a good Minecraft server?" And some guy answered "www.brohoof.com". I went on the website and saw the introduction thingy saying "If you don't know what a brony is, google it." So I googled it and found out what it was. I logged on the server as a guest and thought "Pretty good. But what's with all this pony stuff? I need to find out." So i decided to watch the show. I had watched a little bit of the show before because my Cousin said that it was pretty good, but I didn't watch much. I watched episode 1 and decided that if I watched a couple more videos, I would get more hooked. Watched a couple more, got hooked and woohoo. I'm a brony.
No regrets.

No regrets.
I agree.
Well, 2 years ago in spring, me and my friends were hanging around the schoolyard. They told me to watch My Little Pony, and I laughed. But shortly after, I watched a few random bits of a few episodes. I loved it. I quickly got to know the characters, and ended up watching the whole series. Afterwards, they kind of lost interest, but I only gained. I stumbled on the fandom on Memebase, and thats when I discovered the horrors of our fanbase. Yet I also discovered the magic in it. It truly is a splendid thing.
As of recent, I haven't had time to really watch episodes or play on here much. Parents don't know, and I've been having a difficult time at school with stress and anxiety. I still love every bit of our warm community.
My parents don't know me and my brother are bronies either.

Okay, so two of my friends on a site were pegasisters, all their pony talk started to annoy me. I went to watch an episode of MLP, and it was epic. I then watched the rest, got my poneh OCS, and started RPing. I once met a hater on that site, we argued for hours. ![]()

2011 -
I was browsing a forum when I found a topic about MLP. It was talking about The Return of Harmony Part 1. I decided to see the episode.
I hated it because the ponies were being mean. So I looked for the Part 2. But, being that it was before 9/24/11, it wasn't on Youtube yet.
So I ignored the episodes following it.
2012 -
I then heard about ponies again in July. I started watching the episodes of Season 1 and 2. I absolutely loved it. I watched the Season 3
premiere in November and all the episodes following as they aired on BronyState.
2013 -
I was still watching episodes as they came out on BronyState. Until the final episode of course. Then I switched to LPS for awhile and
then to Minecraft.

Browsing Youtube videos, and I finally just got curious what was up with all the pony videos and I went "Fine" and started watching it to see what was up. After season 2 episode 14, I put my head up when Pinkie said "NOPONY BREAKS A PINKIE PROMISE" and I said "Oh, shit, Im a brony"

Well, when I was little my family members would buy me pony toys and I liked to play with them like everyday. I actually still remember those days. and Since I had to babysit my younger siblings, family members and other children on my street they would always make me turn on My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. At first I thought that I was gonna die when I watched it everyday. But, then with every episode I watched I fell in love, instantly. People think that My Little Pony: Friend Is Magic is for younger children and girls. But, no that's why all of us are here and why we are called the bronies. For gods sakes I would sit back chilling, eating some food waiting My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.

It was Summer and I was super bored. I started watching tv, and was flipping through some channels and came across the first episode with Zecora. Then a few weeks later I walk in to see my older sister watching "Party of One" (when Pinkie goes insane)
Then both me and my sister watched all the old episodes, would record the new ones, and later we started making all the ponies out of bake-able clay.

lol which flipnote did you see, or if you remember? I saw pikachufan's one. I miss flipnote hatena, but enough about that. At least i'm not scared to say i saw it off a flipnote, while people call me crazy and telling me that there's no such thing as flipnote hatena.
oh and that's also how i became a "pegasister" , through video games.

First i was just wondering in the internet watching funny videos, i saw something related to the video and i didnt read it, i just clicked it. I realised after 5 mins it was MLP (my little pony)
So the first video i watched was season 1 episode 1 when twilight came to Pony Ville! After i was searching on internet about my little pony i kept watching it! I repeated them mostly (ones i like only) then i written on google. Whats a guy called if he likes My Little Pony. It said brony, first i was scared, then i was actually happy to be my self and watching those exciting episodes. I kept repeating them every time it ended! And im still addicted to it, but at least im being myself and telling you guys my story! Im really glad i found MLP
. if i never found it, i wouldnt understand some people telling me names from MLP. So thank god this show was created. Im looking forward for Season 4!

My story begin in the end of summer 2011.
It was a normal day when I found my brother on his computer looking for ponies.
He tried to explain me it was special, looking girly at first, but that was really good and I wouldn't understand before watching a few episode.
But I never told to myself "eeewww! A girly show, how could I even like this" but "if he say it's not what it look like, then why not try?"
So I get on the other computer with in mind I would probably found this girly at first but at the end found that okay.
It wasn't bad at all, so I watched the second.
lol, it's awesome, I watch moarr!!!
But I began to change my habit only after maybe a month and 2 to show it to my best friend.
First time he tried, it was in french (I'm from quebec, french is my first language). The voice in french are horrible, so he didn't hoow and stopped after the half of the first episode.
Finally, after annoying him over a month and the famous "I dare you to watch in the original voice the 4 first", he came back from a long weekend with a smile and gratefulness.
Now, I personnaly "converted" about 8 person and most of my circle of friend consist of bronies and pegasis.
That's my story!

Well, there is a website called "Memebase". You might have heard of it (Most likely). It's a website about (surprise, surprise) memes. I am a big fan of memes and go on memebase on a daily basis. Well, they have different pages for different memes, for example, there is a page for puns, for gifs and for trolling. One of the pages was called "My little brony". I had never liked MLP before so I never went onto that page.
One day I decided to see "my little brony". Most of the memes were about (surprise, surprise) MLP characters. I did not get any of them but I bet that if I got them they would've benn funny. So I watched the first episode in hope to understand the memes. Aaaaaaaannd I was hooked.
Somehow, I ended up finding out that there were 4 more bronies at my school. Now every school day I argue with my fellow bronies which pony is better. Rainbow dash or Twilight (RD FTW!!11one!!!)
Soon enough, after my sister caught me watching MLP on youtube, she laughed at me, but then she grabbed a stoll and sat next to the computer with me. Aaaaaaaannnd i got her hooked too.
This is my brony story.

Basically, how I became a brony was a long process.
Before I found out my best friend was a brony, I absolutely hated the fandom. I would call bronies faggot and gay because, in my opinion, grown men and teenagers watching a show for little girls was just WRONG!
So, I was on a weekend camping trip with my friend. We were in the Boy Scouts together. Well, we were in the lounge and he asks me if I want to watch a show. I say sure. So I put in my headphones, and what does he start playing? My Little Pony.
The moment I saw that, I ripped out the headphones and said "Don't tell me you are a brony too?!" He replied with "And that's wrong why?"
I spent the next ten minutes explaining to him why watching My Little Pony was just wrong for someone his age (He was 16 at the time). He turned to me and said "Why not give it a chance" and handed me the earbud.
At this point, I decided to humor him and watch it anyway. The episode, which I know now as Hurricane Fluttershy, back then when I watched it, I felt was still very girly and immature. I then decided to get back at him by making fun of his brony-ness (back before I was a brony I was an asshole to some people). I started looking up YTPs of My Little Pony as ammo for my insult cannon. I found Princess Molestia. I starting using that and as I watched it more it talked about Spike destroying Ponyville (a.k.a: Secret of my Excess). So, out of curiosity, I went to see what it was about. I watched a commentary by Cobaltsky7 about that episode. Admittedly, it was a decent episode. So, I humored myself by starting at the beginning of the show and started watching. And I watched. And I watched.
By the time I went to talk to my friend again, I had watched the entirety of season 1 and up to episode 15 of season 2. I told him I was wrong and that the show was "ok". He put his hand on my shoulder and said "Welcome to the Herd."
And that is how it all began.

I started watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic when I saw a couple of my Skype friends with My Little Pony Pictures one with Rainbow Dash I did the pic the other one had. One of them said give it a try, and I did. When I watched episodes 1 and 2 of season 1 I loved them, and I thought it would be a good show to see.

I became a Brony thanks to Super Ponybeat and My curiosity about all of the Pony Memes that I kept seeing on the 'Netz, So of course, I picked MLP over A gigantic Great Expectations project I had to do. (I now hate Charles Dickens).
[Actually, Super Ponybeat's Luna- Dream mode and my Extensive Imagination are the reasons my OC, Prince Polaris exists!
I'm currently Writing a story about Him, with aircraft, a rolls-royce, Airships, and the Second Changeling Invasion. (and car chases! Yay!)
If anypony wants to read it when I finish it, I'll post it wherever you're supposed to post those kinds of things on here.]
Now, Pony music is the Majority of all the music I have!
My brother is a much more Pinkie-style Brony than me, though. He's Night_Miner_02 in minecraft.
I try my best to keep it hidden.
