Well, I'd Never Thought I'd Call Myself A "Brony"


Mr Unknown

Recommended Posts

How did you find MLP Forums?: No one I knew around me liked MLP: FiM, so I decided to join a forum where I could talk about it with other people.


How you became a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: Well, originally I hated the show. Honestly, I did. I never WATCHED it, but I just felt off whenever I'd see something MLP related. "That's just weird" I'd think to myself. I'd watched College Humour's "My Little Brony" and thought to myself "That seems pretty accurate", without having actually seen a Brony in real life before. Eventually, though, curiosity got the best of me and I started watching a couple of the MLP: FiM fan-works, with the first one being Pony.Mov (A strange introduction into the fandom, I know). After it was over, I thought that even though it was pretty strange, I wanted to see the characters in less-crass scenarios. Around a month ago, I gave in and watched the first episode of the series. It hooked me like a quadruple hook on a hungry bass. I proceeded to watch almost every episode of MLP: FiM (except for the ones that I hear are terrible, such as "Putting Your Hoof Down".)

As my name is Mr Unknown, I'm not gonna give TOO much information here, like name, country, etc. One thing that I WILL say, though, is how I don't know if I want to be called a "Brony". I just feel like there's a lot of negative connotations with such a title, like the average person or even my own friends would look at me in a very different light because of it. I'm also not a very normal person to begin with, so I'd rather not give people any more ammo than they already have. I'm still in High School, by the way, so it makes it even MORE complicated. I'm planning on revealing my love for the show AFTER graduation, as I'd be out of that hostile environment.  

 

On another note, I've just recently started 3D modeling and animating, and I think it could be my future career. Sure, I've only just begone, but I have some interesting ideas, maybe a couple MLP related too, I guess I'll just see what happens!  :derp:

I can totally relate! It wasn't much different for me, I seriously had my doubts before actually watching the show. But it's cool to see that I'm not the only one that's experienced a sudden conversion. And yeah I totally understand the doubts you have, regarding the term Brony. I'm a total fan myself, but MLP is just one of those things I'm perfectly okay with keeping to myself and a close circle of friends. What they don't know won't hurt 'em, and actions speak louder than words. Yadda yadda. B)

 

Also, that's cool to hear. A friend of mine has dabbled in 3d modeling and I can tell it's no breeze. Props for even trying, personally I don't think I'd ever have the patience for trying stuff like that. But yeah, welcome! :muffins:

I started out kinda against this fandom. But then I thought, "Okay, if it's flooding literally everything on the internet, it has to be good." So I checked it out to see what all the hubbub was about. Next thing I know, I was watching it like a crack addict. 

 

Hope you have a good time here :muffins:

I refuse to let go until you're impressed.

Thanks Dust, It's good to hear that I'm not the only one who had/has to deal with this sort of issue! It's just, I'm so new to this fandom that I haven't even decided who my favorite Mane Six character is!

Thanks Space Woona, I too became addicted to watching MLP almost instantly! With other 100 episodes, though, it took almost a month to watch most of them! (I'd watch them mostly at night, when my chances of getting spotted were at an all-time low  :ph34r: )

It's okay if you don't want to call yourself a brony; Iabels like it probably won't add much to your enjoyment of the show and community around it, and there's quite a few people here that aren't bronies (or even fans of the shows) either, so nopony will force you to use it. :)

hLVcqS8.jpgWelcome to the forums, Mr. Unknown. :) I'm so glad you decided to join us. :) I'd love to see your animations sometime! Good luck on them. :lol: :lol:

 Thanks Little Red, I'm currently working on a 3D FNAF animation (I started it a while ago, before I started getting sick of FNAF, don't judge me  :derp: )

It's mostly been just an exercise in patience, you know, seeing if I'm patient enough to go through it all and make a full 1 minute long animation. Here's an image from it for your viewing pleasure  :squee:
