How did you become a brony/pegasister?

Ugh, I can't believe I'm being forced to watch this pony garbage with my little sister...
*two months later*
Hey, Jessicah! Do you think Rainbow Dash will kick more butt this episode? Why am I even asking this?! TURN THE TV ON, RUNT.

My story is a long one:
It all started when one day I was at my friends house about two months ago, and we were just trolling around the internet on our laptops. I decided to go to the Finebros channel to see if there's a new video. There was. It was called "Teens React to My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic". I watched it, and I saw how guys and girls my age reacted to the theme song, their opinions on the show were shared, and then the Finebros talked about Bronies. Teen or adult guys who were seriously into the show. At first I thought it was kind of a kooky idea, but when I saw that Bronies were more than just socially unaccepted dudes who all share the same fandom...they were practically brothers (hence the name).

I then spent the next few months trying to become a Brony by doing research and learning all of the Mane 6's names. It wasn't too easy, because (flash back to a couple years ago) at my godsister's birthday party, a My Little Pony special or movie was playing on the TV, and I though what everyone else though about it: Girly, frilly, obnoxious, all fluff, smiley faces and rainbows (This was the generation BEFORE Friendship is Magic, for the record), the stuff that turns a guy my age off.

Anyways, fast forward to a couple weeks ago from today. I completely forgot about my quest to Bronyhood. So one day I was just on my laptop, bored, looking for something to do. So the though of My Little Pony came to mind. So I found the pilot episode on YouTube and watched it, and for the first half, it was pretty decent. But by the end, I only had one though: "I'm gonna like this show."

And that's how I became a Brony!

Well,
A very nice user named Tawnyjay told me to try it. So I did. :3
Yeah, my story wasn't really that interesting xD
And Pinkie Pie is best pony. c:

Ooh! This question. :3

It was September 2011, and my whole grade was on a five-day trip. All the girls were in one cabin, and we all fought every night. We were irritable during the day as well, so things were awkward between most of us.

But one night, the fighting got out of hand and I started to cry. My friend (Who I now call Pinkie Pie) came over to me softly and hugged me. "You're exactly like Fluttershy, crying when other people fight."

I basically stared at her for a moment, processing her words. Then I said: "You watch My Little Pony?"

"Yes, I do."

There was a silence. Then the whole cabin started laughing.

Well, about two weeks passed. I was now bored, and looking up videos on YouTube. I found "Over a Barrel" in the related videos for one I watched, and I decided to see what was so good about it.

When the "I'd like to be a tree" line came up, I cracked up. I loved Fluttershy in general, Rainbow's bravery, Pinkie's randomness, Twilight's wits, Rarity's hilariousness, and Applejack's personality.

Thus, I became a pegasister.

(This is not the actual version I watched. ^^")

Ooh, yay, this question. Copy/paste, here I go...

Well for the about a year I've been listening to The Greatest Movie EVER! podcast, and one day I noticed that there was a new bonus episode entitled Three-Person Pony Apocalypse. I was like, "what the heck?" and listened to it, expecting them to rip on the show. But it turns out, the host and his two guests were bronies. But even after hearing their glowing review, I thought, "Ponies? Really?" But I thought it was funny, so I listened to it again. And again. And again. Eventually, I decided to look it up online, and found out about the HUGE brony fanbase, and after a month of research. I still wasn't sure. One day I got online to watch Batman: The Animated Series, my old favorite show, but, horror of horrors, it had been removed from the website I had been watching it on. Then in the New TV Episodes list, I saw that they had an episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I remembered the podcast and my research and decided to give it a try. And I was hooked. Been a proud brony ever since. The End.

Now to add parts! The day I watched the show for the first time was December 31, 2011. Also, during my research, I listened to MsIkariShipper's singing, which was one of the things that helped me realize that the show might be good. MsIkariShipper is better known as StarWarsFan7 on Fanpop, meaning I was, although only slightly, connected to this club before I became a brony. Also, another thing from my research that I discovered was Vinyl Scratch, which I thought it was so cool that they would have a DJ pony that it really boosted my thoughts of the show, and is one of the reasons why she is my favorite background pony.

There, all of the information I've ever given anyone on my journey to brony-ness, all wrapped up in one little post.

Well, I was looking at this comic about MLP:FiM and it said that once you watch 1 episode you will get stuck watching it, so I tried it out and I was hooked on the 1st episode and now I'm watching MLP:FiM a lot :3 and thats how I be came a pegasister

My story, I can't quite remember but I'll type as much as I can.

One afternoon in September 2011, boring thirteen year old me was channel surfing on the T.V. There was nothing good on but then I found this channel called the Hub. My Little Pony Friendship is Magic was on since I had school off that day. The first episode I saw was Suited for Success when Fluttershy was saying that they should panic. I used to think she was always negative and never thought positively.

After watching it, I started to enjoy it, although I didn't know enough about the show. And I definitely did not know about the fanbase. My best friend, who's a guy, told me to watch the show. I never expected him to watch it because (1)he's a guy and (2)he's a gamer.

I didn't find out about the bronies and the show's fandom until I joined this club in late October 2011. I was surprised with how many bronies enjoyed the show and I realized that I loved the show too.

I never researched bronies, I do now but never then when I became a Pegasister. I don't know why but I guess I thought I knew enough about them. After at least two months of research that I made after I became a Pegasister, I now know every background/minor pony's name and who they are and how they were named.

Bon Bon is best pony. ^^

> Playing TF2
> Sees sprays (applicable pictures in the game) of ponies
> Was like "WTF is wrong with these people?"
> Tried to watch first episode
> Quit after 5 minutes into the episode

A few months later.....

> Bored
> Needed something to entertain myself whilst on roadtrip
> Decieds to try episode 1 again
> This time, finished the whole episode and instantly liked it

And that's the story of how Equestria was made.

I was on Flipnote Hatena (and animation app on DSi) and I saw this animation of Fluttershy going 'You're going to love me!!' And I was like 'What the heck? Isn't MLP for little kids?'

Later I heard a lot about it on the Internet and so I thought of watching it. First, I did some research (I must be Twilight Sparkle XD) and asked in google 'Why do people older than 13 watch MLP?' It came up with a really good response on DA stating that the story-lines, animations, colours, characters ect were all really good. So I said 'Oh well, why not?' I watched the first episode and I thought it was alright. I watched the second episode and from then, I love it <3

By watching MLP FIM~<3

Ok where do i begin....?
I was a fulltime Team Fortress 2 fan in 2010-2011 then i saw the crossover with MLP and TF2 on HALOLZ and call me a 20% Brony back then beacause i knew the Lyrics and owned the theme song on my computer and don't even watch the show. And that was I finally chacked it out in the middle of season 2 and then watched all of them in 2 weeks

Well, two of my best friends, (link and link) practically LIVE the show, but their girls, so it didn't rub off that much. Then I saw link (another friend of mine) likes the show, and he's almost 4 years older than me, as well as being a guy, so I gave the show a shot, and now I'm hooked! XD

So... i was on youtube, watching You're Gonna Go Far Kid by The Offspring. I was going to post the link the the video here, but there was apparently a copyright claim. *sad face...* Anyway, after i finished the video i looked to recommended videos. (Im pretty sure that as of now, many of you already know where this is going). This one video had a cyan colored, rainbow maned pony. Something compelled me to watch it... At first i thought "What is this?" And for a couple of weeks i rejected it. But a certain picture on a certain app (which involved the mane six, spider man, and the mystery machine) threw me over the edge with the idea that ponies are taking over the world. So i then joined the herd. Not very long after, i found memebase which had ponies on it. Most of my early bronyhoodness *not sure what to call it here* involved watching nothing more than youtube videos, not and episode. The first full episode i saw was May the Best Pet Win. The first two things i saw both had dashie as a main character, so naturally, i was drawn to her. Thats why shes my favorite pony. And, ya know, shes just that epic. But two episodes every morning wasn't enough. So i googled it and quickly came across about 5 sites to watch it, before realizing they were all on Youtube.
And that's how Equestria was made!

Here it goes...
One boring day, in mid-June 2011, when I was on the "On Demand Channel". I thought I should watch a show that seemed stupid and childish since I wanted a laugh. I clicked on a channel I didn't recognize, which I later discovered was the Hub. I clicked on "My Little Pony" expecting it to be similar to the older generations.
I watched an episode I believe was Suited For Success, but I didn't get TOO into it, but did know the character designs were amazing.
A few days later, I watched "Green Isn't You Color" while talking over the phone with a friend who thought it would be funny to watch a little kid show. When we watched it, we both agreed it was a really good show.
It wasn't until later, that I even knew I wasn't the only person above the age range who liked the show. I was delighted when I found out!
Of course, I got weird looks from my family and I made some of my other friends laugh and then slowly realize I'm not joking. All in all though, it's been amazing being a brony.(yes, I know I'm a girl.)
And to think, if I hadn't decided to watch what was at first glance a goofy children's show, I wouldn't be writing this and I wouldn't have met all the wonderful people here!

And that kids, is how I became a brony. (Props if you get the refernece, by the way!)

Okay well my story isn't to long but whatever. So a few weeks or so after the show first aired my best friend starting to get to me by singing the theme song which evidently was stuck in her. So eventually I asked her what she was singing and she replied with the My Little Pony Friendship is Magic theme song. At first I though she was strange for watching that show but that was before I saw it. So my friend told me to go watch it and let her know my thoughts the next day.
The next day I confessed that I had feel in complete love with the show. Now neither of us are embarrassed to show are love for it.

I was flipping through channels one day trying to find somethin to watch when I saw it. I thought to myself, *meh. Another baby show.* but there wasn't anything else on so I watched it out of pure curiousity (I'm a curious person :P). I was rolling on the floor laughing. Later I thought *I've got to see that again* so I went on Youtube and looked it up, watched it again, and I took a look at the related videos and I watched another one and, well, one thing led into another ;)

The Randoms on the Random spot convinced me.

Well I became a pegasister today and yesterday i was doing reasearch when a Brony site popped up. I wondered what a Brony was so I clicked on the site and laughed my head off until I got on my iPad and went on youtube to look up bronies. When the first episode of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic came up. I clicked on it, expecting to be bored with it in a couple minutes...Well I watched the whole thing instead of half xD I got into the series and looked up pegasisters...PONIES!!!

Well, Hot Topic is my favorite store, and I kept seeing t- shirts of My Little Pony characters on them. I thought they were adorable, because they had huge eyes. (I like anime, obviously.) Then I found out that it was a T.V. show, so I had this crazy idea to watch it. And I've been a dedicated Pegasister ever since. I'm trying to get my brother to become a brony, but it's not working.

I saw a mlp fim video on youtube and I watched it and then I watched more mlp fim videos and I was starting to like mlp fim and now im a pegasister

I getted the Troll Emoticons app for Chrome, and asked myself: people really watch ponies? (because troll emoticons is full of gifs and images of the Mane6 and others) then my curiosity made me watch the first episode, after that is known story

I was baby sitting for the summer and i had netflix so i would give her a day to watch and show she wanted for the day since we mostly watched my shows so she chose my little pony and i thought it was dumb so i still watched it and i thought rainbow dash was awesome so i decided to give it a try without her around i was hooked and thats how i became a pegasister but i had heard of bronys and stuff like that before but i thiught it was dumb but know i want ti go to a bronycon but i cant :(

I only became interested in MLP because of Equestria Girls. I didn't have anything to watch that evening, and it just happened that they were showing Equestria Girls on TV. So I thought: wouldn't hurt watching it right? After all I heard someone talking about it before.

So after the movie I became hooked on EG and started all that "research" on the characters. :) Even so, I've still got a lot more to learn about the MLP fandom. I was already on fanpop by that time thanks to Penguins of Madagascar so I joined the club :D

Funny how I never gave a buck about MLP last time. I used to see the commercial and I only remembered seeing a white horse (rarity) and a rainbow coloured one (R.D!!!!!) and that was all.
And yes, as usual for me, I missed the series when they aired it every day :( because at that time I wasn't interested in MLP (AAARGH)

Anyways, I'm here, and really, that's all that matters. I'm just glad to be here :D

Well it started when i watched an episode of se2 i believe and then i watched all of se1 on the inter net and i clicked remembering the creepy mlp ponies they had but these were better

I began to love "My Little Pony" by my grandma's old MLP G1-2 tapes. I loved how the ponies looked on theold case it looked 20% awesome some I watched it and it grew on my and now I CAN'T WAIT FOR SEASON SIX. I'M A BIG RAZZLE DAZZLE FAN EVEN IF SHE'S NOT REAL IN THIS WORLD.😭I wish it was real.
