I was listening to The Wisenheimers podcast, Yotom asked Max why he liked the show and I thought they were taking the piss, then, later, I was watching one of the pony.movs and in the sidebar was an icon that caught my eye, nothing special just what looked like one massive pony and one normal pony, I thought it was another spoof so I watched it, it was an extract from the first zecora episode, with Applebloom leaving Applejack on a leaf, after it was over I realised that it wasn't made by an amateur.
I'd just watched My Little Pony.
At first I thought it was just someone uploading a stupid little snippit of a kids show to roll people but as the day progressed I noticed more and more clips from the show, I was clicking from scene to scene, trying to work out some sort of overall plot, trying to work out the characters, trying to work out why kept looking for more, I still thought that these bits were just some really gems that some people had found in an otherwise terribly cleched children's show.
Then I clicked a link without reading the title, thumbnail surfing, and was presented with My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Season 1 Episode 1. The recording quality was shocking but I was drawn to it, getting sucked deeper and deeper into their world, then the episode ended and I was left just sitting there staring at my screen. I didn't know what had happened to me but I liked my little pony.
I searched for another, and another and another, soon I'd caught up with the episode release, about halfway through season 2 but I couldn't handle the boredom that comes with waiting so I stopped tracking the episodes and started watching Adventure Time again instead.
A few months later I found a picture in my documents, it was Pinkie Pie, happy as always, I remembered all the good times and I rushed back to youtube, looking for my wonderful ponies, I watched them all from where I left off basking in the warm feeling that I'd been missing so long.
Nah, I'm just buckin' with ya, I showed Dom Apple.mov and he told me 'bout bronies
