mysticalnight 56 October 26, 2014 Share October 26, 2014 (edited) I'm just curious how everyone else got hooked on it. Me? I first started doing research on the show to help in an rp as a favor for an online friend. I won't lie, it was AWFUL. Not having to do it I mean, I didnt mind that. I knew little to nothing about the characters at the time, and calling my attempt imitations would be an insult to good rping. I grasped the basic structure, but not the charactrrs thrmselves. Even if I wanted to watch the show before this, I didn't get the proper channel, so I couldn't. At the time, I was staying at my grandmother's for a month to help out after her surgery. She happened to have netflix, and I spotted MLP on there. Decided to try watching it. And the rest as they say is history. What about you guys?

Deae Rising Shine~ 54,803 October 26, 2014 Share October 26, 2014 Gosh, that's a long and strange story ... if I remember? It was last year, around february/march In another forum, an user suddenly wrote in a thread with a Fluttershy profile pic. Ended up in making jokes(I never made bad ones and he know, it was jokes), even some kind of RP, where we fighting him and the ponies. As an idea to find out each weakness from each pony, I started to look one episode, then another ... and another ... at the end, I didn't looked for the "Plan", I looked for the show itself. Got addicted, liked more and more etc. and here I am 1 Legends never die. Ponies neither. Rainbow Dash is best pony! Ava made by Pandora^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonlit_Night 223 October 26, 2014 Share October 26, 2014 Well, its a kinda long story if you look at it time wise as in how long it was between starting to become one, and becoming one. thou otherwise, it is kinda short. believe it or not i started as an anti-brony, I had gotten into a bet of skill on minecraft with a friends friend and the bet was if i lost that i had to watch at least one episode of MLP (spoiler alert, i watched more than one...). well i lost the bet so i watched an episode, then another, then another... and well, you get the point. it took me about a year or so before i was a full blown brony though. also, the post above mine is hard to follow...

boiteporte 591 October 26, 2014 Share October 26, 2014 I was looking for Fallout 3 mods, then I came across a fan fiction called Fallout : Equestria. I found it really strange, so I decided to do some research on the characters. It took me all the way to MLP Forums. I found this forum really strange. Then, I came across the show on Youtube through MLP forums... etc, etc, etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapana 66 October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 I was scrolling through Tumblr, and in one post someone had posted the song Winter Wrap-Up, which I enjoyed. I also remembered seeing a lot of MLP avatars on tumblr and devart and livejournal, so I knew this thing, whatever it was, was pretty popular. Decided to check it out, so I just started at the beginning. Luckily this was back during season 1, so I only had to watch a few episodes to be caught up ... and I've been watching ever since. It sometimes surprises me that I've been watching the show longer than a lot of other people, because back then, I thought I was late getting on the bandwagon!

Envy 6,128 October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 I've (consciously) known about MLP for a decade now. However, I did not take an interest until Spring of 2011. I did not hate or even dislike the brand before then, just didn't explore it. Around that time I noticed topics on the new MLP cartoon popping up. On one forum I read about how Lauren Faust had directed the show to be quality entertainment for girls. I realize that it's very rare that I identify with a character of my own gender in anything I watch, and thought that was pretty sad. So naturally I decided to give the show a chance... And I identified with all six main characters. Then I loved it. lol Everything needs more woodwind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
