What were you doing before MLP?

[Akemi Homura 7,680]

What were you up to before you were aware of FIM and its existence? If you were a brony from the start (October 2010), what did you before that time?

Watched Castle, mostly. That was my first TV show that I was hooked like crack on.

[JhonHipster 124]

I watched random TF2/GMOD vids with friends. I wasn't very community aware.

[Dragonshy 2,305]

Ugh, old Dragonshy isn't good as NEW Dragonshy...

 

I don't really remember, ponies made my life better though...

[Mare in the Moon 173]

Lotta bad stuff up until Jan 02, 2012. Then Enlisting in the Army until mid-February. Found MLP soon after. Now my time is all exercise, giving time to my girlfriend, and MLP (the second 2 very often overlap.)

[SXCJ40 125]

my life was Doctor who, Sonic, and Top Gear

[letterone 1,204]

I started watching like last month. Not much has really changed for me since then. I guess I'm a bit nicer now, but other than that, I haven't changed that much. I did all the things I still do, and vice versa.

I was really into some Extreme Metal... . I mean I still have Necrophagist's discography... But a lot of those bands conflict with the views of MLP, strangely enough

[Raptor_a22 83]

I was far too occupied with school to be interested in anything, though I did find time to play a lot of videogames.

[Cirrus 3]

Doctor Who, Spongebob, cartoons.

[SrFrog 927]

Mainly work but on my free time I would roam anime image boards, still go there once in a while though.

[Kenny 232]

I was into competitive Pokemon battling. Maybe I'll get back into it once Black and White 2 come out in the US.

[elponito 3]

Reading, drinking, watching old/Nouvelle Vague/international films/Monty Python/et cetera.

 

I still do...I just rewatch My Little Pony more.

[Jokarr 70]

i hung out with my gf hom i had fro 2 years prior to MLP. and i spent the time on xbox live...really nothing in my life has changed since i became a brony....except my gf breakin up with meh cuz of it XD.....but i am happier since i found mlp tho

[cuteycindyhoney 13,307]

I was in suspended animation, with orders not to thaw me out until MLP:FIM was invented.

[FancySammich 0]

I just wallowed in sadness without the magic of friendship ;n;

[PeachPalette 1,000]

Chatting with friends, drawing anime, watching the normal everyday TV shows and movies. I think I had a life back then even come to think of it, lol.

[Parties like Pinkie 385]

Before I heard of MLP:FIM I was lounging about, doing nothing really, barely living my life, not caring for anything.

 

Then one of my best friends introduced me to Ponyville.

 

Love at first sight.

 

And i've been me ever since, living happily, more outgoing, kinder, more caring, etc. etc.

 

Ponies made my life livable again, and I thank each and every pony that's helped or reached out to me along the way.

 

 

 

AND THAT'S HOW EQUESTRIA WAS MADE!!! :D

[Smokescape 58]

Played a lot of video games and watched a bunch of LPs and machinimas on youtube lol.

Didn't really know how to relieve stress very well before I discovered it either. Honestly, MLP is a huge improvement to my life!

[Broccoli 127]

Before stumbling upon the magic of friendship, I was taking my semester final exams. After each exam I had the whole day off, so I decided to search up MLP: FiM because I have heard of it somewhere. And then BOOM!!! Bronydom.

[RDashFan85 46]

I joined two other forums before I became a Brony. And causing some trouble on the Equestria Forums as well. But stopped doing that that. Now I'm a better person I think because of this show. It's taught me to Love And Tolerate people. And I was a ass before this show became a big part of my life.

[Arylett Charnoa 4,919]

I was on a Pokémon forum, having Pokégasms, and being excited for the release of Black and White. To this day, I'm still doing it. (Black and White 2, whoo!)

 

So basically, nothing I'm not doing now. It's just now, I'm doing other stuff AND ponies.

[RDashFan85 46]

Eh I joined a few Pokemon forums and they all sucked. But I still like Pokemon games tho.

[Dizzy Ditzy Doo! 1,120]

I was a Monster Hunter (still am actually). Serving in the distant lands of Minegarde during the first generation back in 2004, and been doing so ever since.

 

Old sketch I found of my character back in those days

My signature attire was the guild healer outfit...

Signature weapon in the first generation was the Dead Revolver, and Undertaker

[Twi Rubix 726]

Mostly just stuck to my video games, and watching random stuff on YouTube.
