How I got into this show, despite my skepticism


LovingTolerance

Recommended Posts

Very late at night, after a 10 hour session of Minecraft with some friends, none of us were really thinking straight and we all agreed we should figure out what all the MLP hype was about. The first episode seemed as bad as we could have possibly imaged, though we did laugh at a few things. We joked that all of the ponies had tramp stamps and that Spike was a cross between Spyro and a chicken.

 

My brother and I gave up on it and figured you had to be high to enjoy it, but we woke up the next morning still curious, so we watched the next episode and we were like, "hey, this seems alright." After the next two episodes (The Ticket Master and Applebuck Season [still among my favorites]) we were totally hooked. We powered through all of the rest of the episodes and loved it.

 

I've been writing fan fics, making a big

, making PMVs, wearing brony t-shirts, plastering every surface with pony pics, and of course, watching the show.

 

I've never been happier in my life, since, before all of this pony stuff, I was one of those serious people who reads The Economist all the time and frets that GDP isn't growing fast enough and corruption metrics in Africa aren't going the way I want them to.

 

Other than MLP, my life is being a lab technician, marathon training, and hanging out with my friends and family.

 

I came here to get more socially involved in the herd.

MLP seems like an aquired taste to the lucky people. It seems bad but gets better and better from then on :D.

 

Funny how I was looking at pony pics and I was smiling for 10 minutes straight without even knowing. When I stop smiling, mah face hurts :P. Thats how much ponies make mah day :)

I USED to hat the show. I despised the show and everyone that watched it. Then I found out my friends were bronies. They persuaded me to watch an episode. 1 month later i have a room covered with posters and shirts.

Superb intro, and very pleasant to see you here :3 Welcome to Trollestria, the land of ponies, magic, randomized singing, and floating pies and pigs. Hope you enjoy yourself on here, and get yourself further recognized into the pony fandom. Careful though, this place, as I've learned, is incredibly addicting due to the constant high activity and endless things to talk about. Pretty soon, you'll find yourself in this oh so familiar position.

A bit late here, but welcome to the forums. The way you got into MLP sounds a lot like my entry, but mine vame without the minecraft.


Rainbow Dash: Alright, now these games will determine which one of you has the most important qualities I'm looking for in a pet. Speed, agility, guts, style. Coolness. Awesomeness. And radicalness.

Twilight Sparkle: Aren't those last three all the same thing?

Rainbow Dash: You would think that, Twilight. And that's why you would never qualify to be my pet.

Congrats on becoming a brony, and welcome to the forums and the community! I think I got attracted to the show because of curiosity, I don't remember exactly.
