How did you know you became a brony/pegasister ?

[Swift Marquis 327]

I know i joined the brony ranks when i had my phone 70% with mlp/fandom mlp music, and when i finished all the seasons in one month :3

Before I ever watched the show I just started watching a bunch of clips online but I never expected to actually like the show. But that all changed one day during 9th grade when I was watching a bunch of pony clips on youtube. I noticed that I was about to be late but I decided to watch one last video; a 15 second clip of Applebloom dancing to the song "Moskau".

 

Once that was over I grabbed my things and ran out of my apartment but by the time I saw the bus stop the bus was already driving away. So I got back home and since I knew that we didn't have enough money for a taxi I decided to get back on my computer and watch more pony. At some point however I began to wonder what made the show so appealing. "How could some stupid 4chan joke end up giving birth to such a huge fandom?" So after such a long time of thinking that I could never possibly become a brony I decided to watch the first two episodes.

 

I ended up binging the whole series up until The Return of Harmony part 2. I bet if I had 15 extra seconds I would have made it to the bus that day.

I knew it when I watched EG1 and some episode of S1. Then I discovered there was a comunity of bronies/pegasister...

 

I was like "Mother of Celestia... o.O what the hay did I just say?...wait a second... oh buck!.....¬¬........ o.o....."

it was little under 2 months ago when I one day just started watch Mlp. few days and I just noticed that I'm Brony. Still no idea how that happened. 

[Trottermare Galamane 12,005]

I'm not sure if you can count me as a brony, I only watched my first episode about two weeks ago after someone made me watch an animation call "lullaby for a princess" which got me interested more in its history than the show it'self.

 

But I guess you could because iv'e watched almost every episode so far just to see if I can make any theories on it's back story.

It was when I realized I couldn't get enough of the show and started collecting the vinyl mystery minis. 

[n0body555 334]

Actually, was just when I watched a few episodes of MLP. At first I was confused, I didn't like it much at all. Was just too weird for me. Until I watch May the Best Pet Win. I don't know what I liked about it so much, probably Rainbow Dash was the reason. But that episode really grabbed my attention.. when I realized I liked.. IT. Idk what to tell you. I was confused and didn't know what to do since most of my friends hated the fandom.. Soon my closest friends at the time got into it as well, after they figured I enjoyed MLP. Well.. that's how

[Moony the Cat 3,702]

Well, i was pretty sure i would become a Brony, by the moment i had decided to collect every Mlp related Media. 

Even though, at the time i started, i didnt even know what a brony was or that the fourth Generation was a very big success, so i just called myself Mlp Fan at first.

When I decided to learn what all the fuss was about. Watched the first three episodes, became hooked.

When i became a member of a Brony forum (Not this one, a brazillian one)

[Gestum 2,493]

When I started to like the show.

[Guest90210 3,568]

After watching about 5 or so episodes, it finally clicked to me as to why the show is legitimately good. Along the way I had been Googling and researching everything there was to do with the fadom. That's when I realized I was now myself a brony

[Comic Sans 401]

I can barely remember how it happened. Let's just assume it's when I started buying the toys.

[gamecubeguy214 2,512]

I was addicted when I watched my first episode. I wasn't the one who chose to watch the episode, my cousins were watching it and I didn't have any electronics on me, so I had no choice. Thinking back on it fills me with nostalgia.

[CT-1138 3,182]

It was 2011, back on a forum that no longer exists. A few of members had pony avatars, and at the time I had no idea there was a new generation of ponies. I grew up in the 90s, back when ponies looked like short, little hippos. I didn't really think anything of it, I just figured it was the new hipster cartoon that was out that all the young adults my age were in to. Eventually, I stumbled upon a PMV called "Rainbow Dash, You're Gonna Go Far Kid" and I started becoming interested. I started watching clips on YouTube, and began to really enjoy the show. By Halloween, 2011, I had watched my first episode. By then the second season had just started, so I spent a week making up for it and watching pony episodes in my dorm room after class.

[Prospekt 11,018]

I knew I was a brony after watching a few episodes. My first episode was Castle-mania and I really enjoyed it (much to my surprise), but I wasn't entirely convinced that the show was for me until I'd seen a few more episodes. Then I knew I'd be in this for the long haul Two years later, here I am. And my love for the show is stronger than ever.

[FluffyGoat13 375]

It becomes quite obvious after you binge watched S1 and started S2 in 3 days and didn't regret it.

[Steve Piranha 29,428]

When I got pissed that I saw the "To be continued..." in the first part of Canterlot Wedding 

[Comix Strike 38]

Some friends introduced it to me about a week after S2 ended. They weren't that into MLP, and I wasn't really thinking of watching it at the time, but we had nothing to do so we decided to watch it anyway. Best decision ever made.

Whenever you feel like it.

I really liked the animation style and the looks of characters even before I started watching it. I made an account on here and noticed that I was really getting into the whole community, so I became a brony. That's it really.

When I started watching the show and ended up enjoying watching the show.

[Luminance 2,186]

You know that urge to go to the toy section and look what kind of new MLP toys they have.

 

You see muffins and Derpy pops up on your mind.

 

You watch a show about friendly colorful equines solving life issues targeted to 3-12 year old girls and suddenly you create headcanons, theories, and analyze the show to death.

[Snow 7,208]

i was up to season 5 and knew just about everything you need to know but i didnt consider myself a fan :/
than a friend asked me questions about the show to mock me.. i answers them all and he said "you're officially a bronie" as a mean joke
and idk.. after he said that.. its was like self realisation kinda like... holy crap...all jokes aside i am!... XP and that night i dived head first into the fandom listened to fan made music, watched fan animations, joined MLP forums and considered myself a bronie for the first time ^-^ no regrets! virginity is for cool kids anyway and now im 20% cooler :L

This was the first pony video I watched.  I saw it and wanted to watch more, but I thought to myself "that's crazy, it's a show for little girls" so I would try to stay away from videos like that.  I ended up watching a bunch more pony videos, but I still didn't want to accept that I was becoming a brony.

 

That went on for maybe a month or two, then in July of 2012 I watched the first two episodes of season 1 and I was instantly hooked.
