H-hi, everypony... How did I become a brony??
...
Well, I had been into MLP as a small child, collecting and playing with G3 ponies (I was, like, ten...), but the way I became a brony to MLP: FiM is much more complex, and, honestly, hard for me to recollect...
........
I'll start at the beginning (or what I THINK is the beginning...)
I was on Smosh.com, just doing what I normally do, nothing in particular, when I spotted a video with the title of said video being something along the lines of "What 'The Hangover' Would be Like With Ponies"... It was a silly parody video, and I may have had a good laugh, but I was then intrigued by these new renditions of ponies I had as a girl. Thus beginning my journey to becoming a brony.
A few days to a week later, I found yet another parody video called, "Epic Cupcake Time" and decided to watch it. I thought it was pretty okay, ignorantly thinking that it was the actual show. Well, in short, that video led to another fan-made video, which led to a clip from the episode "Party of One" (the clip being where Pinkie Pie "snaps") and I loved it!
Yet I still had a ways to go before becoming a brony, believe it or not.
Well, some of my friends (pegasisters/bronies) began telling me of some select fanfics (not mentioning them here, seeing as they aren't really something to make small talk of...). Well, curiosity got the better of me, and I read a few fanfics, "My Little Dashie" being among my favorites. The day I read "My Little Dashie" was the day I first watched My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Not just one episode, but quite a few. My brony-dom was just beginning...
I instantly selected my favorite ponies (who can pick just ONE out of the most amazing selection of ponies to choose?) after watching the first episode. And it has escalated from there...
Honestly, it's a confusing story (for me, at least... Can't quite remember the beginning, kinda makes it difficult to follow in my mind...), but I wouldn't have my story any other way.
