MLB:WIM #1 - Intro and Bronyfication

Hey guys!

Welcome to my very first blog biggrin.png

 

I don't know how often I'll be making these.

Probably as often as I have something to talk about derpy_emoticon1.png

 

So first, a bit about myself.

I'm a 17 year old energetic guy who likes PC games, cartoons, and MLP as you probably guessed.

 

I only became a Brony months ago and I'm loving it smile.png

Since this is an intro, I'll make this blog about the reason I'm even on this website, how I became a Brony.

 

I had heard a lot about the Brony craze and was very confused by it.

I actually made fun of the whole idea.....sorry sad.png

 

Anyway, I first heard the theme song from a show called "Teens React" and was addicted to it. I returned to the video too many times to count until I finally got up the nerve to watch an episode. I was curious why guys actually liked the show and wondered if there was anything good about the show. At the same time I was actually a bit nervous that I would like it too much and go completely crazy.

 

I watched the first episode and thought "Meh".

It wasn't great and it wasn't horrible, so I moved on to the next episode.

Then I went to the next one...and the next one, and the next, and next, and next, etc.

After about two weeks I watched seasons one, two, and three...Wow wacko.png

 

It was better than I ever expected it to be.

I saw more slapstick comedy than I expected to see in the whole series in the first few minutes.

This show is probably the best example I've ever seen of "Don't judge a book by its cover".

 

So, there's my story.

What's yours? Write about your "Bronyfication" in the comments wink.png

 

So, I hope you enjoyed my first blog, and I hope you'll enjoy the ones in the future.

Talk to you guys later smile.png

Great story mate! This has been a wonderful first blog of yours and I hope to see more from you in the future! ;)

 

As for my bronyfication...

 

Well let me answer that with an old post I made in a thread that was asking the same thing.

 


Well it all actually started sometime around July I believe. I was participating in a yard sale to help out the show choir class I was and still am in at the time. Why? Because dancing and singing is fun, and I have been so lucky to surprisingly have an amazing teacher!
 
Anyways, enough digression...
 
It was my teacher, a friend of my teacher, and their two young teenager daughters. We were all taking a break from the Yard Sale and me and the girls decided to go inside. I just took a seat on the couch and decided to casually watch some T.V. The two girls come by and sit down and decide to change the channel and go on Netflix. They clicked on Season 1, Episode 1 of My Little Pony.
 
My thoughts?
 
They do know there's a guy present...right?
 
However, me being a naturally open and curious guy, I decided to just go along with it and watch it with them. As the episode opened and introduced the ponies of the mane 6, I was just thinking, That Twilight pony seems very obnoxious. What the hell is with that psycho pink one. I really want to punch that annoying arrogant rainbow maned pony in the face. Rarity... and I thought the rest were girly?
 
All negative thoughts at first...I know, I feel horrible for thinking all that. img-1623344-1-sad.png  
 
But as the episode continued on, I found myself laughing at several funny moments in the show. And then when Nightmare Moon appeared and the mane 6 decided to venture out into the Everfree forest, I was actually surprised to find myself kind of hooked and eager to see what would happen next.
 
Eventually the show ended, and break time was over. And amazingly, I wasn't ashamed of watching that show with the two girls, maybe a little embarassed and felt a little weird, but really...I could of watched it again.
 
Since then, out of curiousity, I started searching up these ponies, just to see their back stories and who exactly they were. I began finding these ponies everywhere online and then I heard about the bronies and this fandom, which only allowed my openness and interest to grow.
 
And as I dove further into checking out all this fandom stuff, I found the one thing that really pushed me into becoming a brony.
 
That freaking fanfiction story, My Little Dashie.

Sounded so cliche first hearing about it, and I still hated that pony at the time, but I eventually read it.
 
I fell in love just five minutes into reading it.
 
And that fanfic actually gave me the full atmosphere of the show, everything those ponies and Equestria represented.....everything happy and beautiful that this world was(honestly) not. 
 
So that fanfic got me to feel sympathy and love for that Rainbow pony.

She was my number one favorite at the time.
 
After some deep contemplation, I decided to watch more of My Little Pony and I was much more into it than when first watching it. I grew to especially love Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and even that crazy Pinkie Pie!

Eventually my favorite two ponies became Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie. Rainbow Dash is now a strong third, but if it were to come down to choosing the coolest and most epic, she would win that in a heart beat!
 
And that's my story of how I fell in love with the show!img-1623344-4-happy.png

Cool story bro ;) 

 

Mine goes like this:

 

I didn't really hate the show or fandom, heck I didn't even know there was a new generation of ponies until an after school Brony club started at my middle school. Some of my friends joined got pony shirts and stuff but I never really took interest. I just thought it was funny yet weird for GUYS to love a show about colorful ponies. Although I do admit I LOVED one friend's Derpy shirt. MUFFINS EXPRESS YOURSELF!! xD

 

So anyways, fast forward to my freshman year of high school. I had totally forgotten about the ponies and my curiosity about the show the previous year. Until my senior friend was listening to songs from the show on the bus and asked me to sit with him and listen. I didn't know what I was listening to at first. But I was like hey this is good what cartoon is this? He just said My Little Pony then he started telling me about the character singing the song and I asked about what was happening. He told me about The Best Night Ever after listening to the gala song and I thought it was funny how their night turned out to be a huge FLOP xD

 

I especially liked Pinkie's songs being so happy and cheerful, this may seem strange but I found her song from Over A Barrel extremely catchy and thought all the songs were pretty good for a kids show.

 

That night I looked up some more Pinkie Pie stuff, and I saw Derpy's appearance from The Last Roundup. Having gained enough curiosity and seeing the clips weren't all that bad, I watched the first episode.

 

That same week I went through Season 1 and Season 2 and Season 3 all the way up to Too Many Pinkie Pies. One Bad Apple was the first new episode I watched :D I haven't regretted liking the show since and after that day me and my friend talked about ponies everyday during gym class. We never got tired of talking about fan stuff and the show itself, new episodes etc. He told me to go on Equestria Daily and stuff and he told me about the Epic Rap Battles of Equestria xD

 

Good times those were. Sadly I moved and had to leave my friend :(
 

So I hope you enjoyed THIS LONG SPEECH.
