Ello everypony!
Now I joined the herd... am I 20% cooler? I hope so.
Anyhow hello! I am Cyberkiyo (just call me Cyber or Kiyo) and I am a 21 year old History student from Belgium!
I am not so new to My little pony, in fact my grandma pushed my first pony in my tiny hands when I was 4 years old in 1999. Gradually I got more. Especially G2, but also G1 and evolved to G3. When puberty hit me, I send them all to the garage. Until I heard from my sister a new show aired called Friendship is Magic. I looked it up and the art style was adorable. So 16 year old me, went to a toystore... for science of course... there I found a duo pack of Rainbow Dash and Rainbow Flash. The two ponies I did not sentence to banishment in the dark garage. So I decide to buy them and proudly put them next to their G3 version. After that I just browsed and followed some pony artists on deviantart and didn't do much with it. Of course when Equestria girls came out, I had to get the Rainbow doll. Haha.
My first encounter with Bronies wasn't a very pleasant one, so I stayed away from the community. I thought y'all were creeps with weird fetishes (yeah the 2 bronies I met earlier directly started to talk about weird sexual topics so I backed off + the hated the previous generation of ponies). However my sister made a friend in highschool and her brother was a Brony and he was super nice. So I kinda gave it a second chance. After a while my mom interfered and told me to grow up and stop with collecting ponies/anime figures/etc. I never listen to her, but since I went to an university dorm I kinda forgot about MLP because I never took them with me.
A few weeks ago, I was cleaning my room and I found a Rainbow Dash cosplay I got from a friend, so I started to rewatch FiM and I think I want to stay for good this time. In these past weeks, I encountered so many nice people in groups, I started to practice songs and picked up working on my cosplay again. My boyfriend (who does not like MLP and never will) agreed on helping me with making mechanical wings and when I am finished I would like to volunteer for Cosplay4Charity/MakeaWish. We might be adults and like MLP, but I also want to entertain and put a smile on children's face by doing my hobby.
Wow long post. Forgive me. I hope I can make a lot for friends here!
