It was 2012 when I got into MLP. I don't remember what month or day though. So in freshmen year, in Algebra 1, I had a friend who liked MLP. During class one day, we were talking about Creepypasta and she told me about Cupcakes and to read it. At the time, I didn't know what was MLP at the time and so I did. I reed Cupcakes. I didn't know who Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie at the time. Then the next day, I told her I liked the Creepypasta, since I was more hateful to people and only had a few friends who liked the same stuff I liked and was more psycho back then, but changed after a Florida trip with a youth group(This happened in 10th grade). I felt loved in my life for once by others(Minus my family). Anyway back to the story.
So after I after I got home, I talked to another friend that liked MLP. I told her about Cupcakes. She then told me about Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. She then told me to try one episode of MLP. But like the fandom, I got hooked to the show after one episode. I then became a Brony(Half a brony now). I was watching Death Note before watching MLP. So yeah. Cupcakes got me into MLP.
