Soren Peregrine 4,606 January 1, 2018 Share January 1, 2018 (edited) My Favourite Mane 6 Pony rainbow-dash How did you find MLP Forums? I found it after deciding to take the plunge and find a good MLP fansite where I can discuss these things with others who share interest in this amazing show. How you became a fan of My Little Pony At first, I, like many others, just stayed away from anything that had something to do with MLP. I considered it very cheesy and thought that it was just a toy collection for little girls, even though I really did not know anything about it. Then I became a very close online friend with someone who was a brony on a TLK (The Lion King) fansite. It was the first time I had heard of the word 'brony'. They were not crazy or obsessed with it, so I finally decided not to judge anyone about it, and left it at that. But one day, I was flipping through the channels on the tv at our rental house while my parents were gone. My younger sister and I were trying to find silly tv shows that were what we considered cringe-worthy. I came across MLP:FiM playing on Discovery Kids and we decided to see what it was. I had heard the online friend mention Rainbow Dash was a good character, so I kind of gravitated toward her. After a few epsiodes my sister and I realized that this wasn't so bad after all. In fact, it was downright good. The lessons were good, the voice acting was good, even though I sometimes found the animation to be a bit too colorful (I have since gottten past that). Eventually I started watching brony videos and fan creations on YouTube, and found out about this amazing community, and it all just sort of happened after that. I really have not watched that many episodes outside of the premiere and season 6 and 7. I just found out that they are all on Netflix though, so yay! A few things about me: I am a 17 year old homeschooled boy. I play tennis, and I hope to make a career out of it, though I could still play college if that does not work. I love animation, especially older 2D hand drawn style. Some of my favorite animated movies are Balto, The Lion King 2, How To Train Your Dragon 2, The Fox And The Hound, Happy Feet, The Land Before Time, among others! Some of my hobbies include Birdwatching, Photography, and being a nature freak I love music, and I am listening to it almost non-stop. I love all kinds of Rock and Roll though I prefer the harder types. I am a big alternative fan, so any bands/artists that I know are really good but have no fame I love supporting. I also like soundtrack, acoustic, and (of course) pony music . I'm not much of a pop/rap person but there a few artists in that genre that I do love that are actually good without autotune. One more thing. My parents found out about this whole brony thing and they don't like it one bit. It has been really hard trying to enjoy the show and be apart of the fandom with all of their disapproval and discouragement about this, so I struggle every day trying to get by without them coming down on me for it. I never faltered though. Love and tolerance is what I show. Honestly, this show has helped me get through tough times. Sometimes just watching something about an almost perfect world where beings care about each other and find ways to solve things without violence is so uplifting, and sometimes it is an escape from the harsh reality I find myself living in. I have no close friends, even though I (I probably sound prideful here) am told that I am very caring and generous. The problem is most kids these days just care about being in the cool kids circle, but I want more than that. So I have always socialized better with people older than me. I am pretty sure that is a good thing. I hope I didn't write too much! I probably did. Probably a lot of typos that I missed. Oh and Happy New Year to everypony! Edit: Oh dear the paragraphs abour how I got into this are all in the wrong place. How do I fix that? Oh well, I guess they are still readable.

Tomo 0 January 2, 2018 Share January 2, 2018 Nice intro! I definitely understand how it can be hard to be a fan, especially with parents judging it by its cover, but I'm still proud to be fan too. I'm also pretty new here but anxiety keeps me from writing an intro. But yeah you seem pretty cool and I hope to see you around the forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhythm Red 6,484 January 2, 2018 Share January 2, 2018 Welcome to the forum! I see we share a common taste in music. I also love hard rock. (And I love pony music too!) I can totally relate to how the show helps lift you up. It's helped me out of some tough times myself! As for your parents, things will just take time. I'm sure that after some time passes, they will warm up to the idea of bronies, and they may even give the show a try! It will all turn out fine in the end. Anyway, welcome to the community! There are plenty of cool folks around here, so have fun! 3 MLP Forums' own PUNK ROCK pony! Alternative rock, pop punk, punk rock, and a lil’ bit of emo.
