jw5587 182 February 27, 2013 Share February 27, 2013 So on Saturday night I had just watched the Game of Thrones season 3 trailer on youtube. (March 31!) Bored and not yet tired I just started clicking on all of the recommended videos in the sidetab and I somehow got to a clip from My Little Pony. It was the clip where Rainbow Dash was teaching Fluttershy to cheer from the episode, "Sonic Rainboom." I was surprised when it elicited a chuckle from me as I had NEVER seen myself enjoying this kind of show. In fact, I even joked about the whole brony movement with my friends. At this point, my curiosity had been scratched so I decided to watch the pilot. That got me hooked so I watched the second episode and I then had the whole first season done on Sunday night. Last night, I just finished the second season and look forward to starting the third today when I have finished my homework. This post was a bit of an introduction and a bit of an apology for not being open-minded about the show and it's fans previously. 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it may be apparent that some of us are weird, but I would say that a majority are just your average person. Your discovery seems a lot like my first video. I was perusing youtube for something, and I saw a video on the side on a review of the show. I gave it a shot... here I am. Anyways, great to hear you enjoyed that snippet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betez 1,734 February 27, 2013 Share February 27, 2013 Hey, most of us first watched the show thinking it was going to be horrible. I honestly thought it was a joke at first. Anyway, I'm glad you like it, and I hope you like season 3. 1 My OC Stay pony my friends"And ALWAYS remember...to never forget." - Someone who I'm sure has said this before I did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dev 251 February 27, 2013 Share February 27, 2013 lol, I thought this topic was going to be some sort of comparison to something weirder implying we're already weird in the first place Excellent, another brony joins the herd! Once you go brony, you never go back, it's awesome, we're awesome, and we're glad to have you here.

Scootalove 10,689 February 27, 2013 Share February 27, 2013 There are a few bronies that are weird that support Rule 34 and clop. But, we don't judge them at all. We are really happy to have you here. Credit: Moony © Forum FAQ Forum Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxyCryptid 4,330 February 27, 2013 Share February 27, 2013 All of us are weird, being normal is no fun. All our little idiosyncrasies and quirks are what makes the world colorful and makes life fun. 2 "You know, I don't know who or what you are Methos, and I know you don't want to hear this, but you did teach me something. You taught me that Life's about change, about learning to accept who you are, good or bad. And I thank you for that." -Duncan McLeod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanks 10,816 February 27, 2013 Share February 27, 2013 When I first found out about bronies I thought it was a little strange, harmless but strange not that there is anything wrong with that. What finally made up my mind that I had to see this show was hearing about Discord so I watched The Return of Harmony two parter liked it and then watched the rest of season 1@2 and started watching season 3 once it started.

Moon Rat 4,772 February 27, 2013 Share February 27, 2013 I started watchin it when it first came out and to be honest, I thought I was going to have to, say, grit my teeth through it however, when the show started, I was genuinely surprised at how well it was written I never expected it to be so epic and so awesome :3 And I've been watching the episodes since then and enjoying them :3 Yes, we are a bit weird but let's be honest, normalcy is overrated anyway amirite Thank you Nas for the sig :3 #HugWoona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leatherbehlt 465 February 27, 2013 Share February 27, 2013 When I first watched the show, I'd known about bronies and the fact that there was a huge crowd who thought it was great, so I knew it was gonna be great, and was excited as all bucking hay. When I'd first heard about bronies though, I thought "It's probably a decent show, but I'll pass" so I did, then several months later I'd begun watching the show, 5 or 6 eps a night on my ipod, clop about 5 or 6 times between episodes, and was the happiest bucking thing alive. Halfway through season 3 I came here and BOOM I'm here now. ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been listening to AcousticBrony and MandoPony. I also got some great art as my desktop background. It's obscure though; I have a twin brother who pushes me around all the time. I've no doubt he'd go and tell the bullies I already have at school if he were to find out. It's really surprising how much creativity this fandom attracts. The music that I've heard and quite a bit of the artwork that I've perused is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castoro Chiaro 181 February 28, 2013 Share February 28, 2013 Ha! This is very similar to my little brother's introduction to the show. He kept going on and on about how annoying Bronies were, but eventually he took me up on my offer to watch it and he got hooked pretty fast.

jw5587 182 February 28, 2013 Author Share February 28, 2013 Guys, I think I have a problem. I just blew through the whole third season last night completely neglecting homework. No spoilers but, holy s**t. I was not expecting that until the series was over. I'm certainly glad that it isn't though! Anyways, thanks for all the warm welcomes, I'm glad to be here! *brohoof* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbyboi 588 February 28, 2013 Share February 28, 2013 First up, welcome to the forums! But I agree. I thought MLP was just a trend created by hipsters. Apparently not! I would've never guessed that I'd be watching this kind of show...it's amazing, and not like every little girls show/previous MLP gen. Really surprised me! But I think we were all skeptical about it at first. But once you give the show a chance and watch it, you'll never turn back! That's just how good the show is. And the community....don't even start on how awesome it is. People should give the show a chance before actually hating on bronies....I thought bronies were weird at first, but their not (and if they are, it's usually in an awesome way!). But we all have a weird side. Nothing bad about it. Brony on, and I'm glad you enjoy the show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TailsIsNotAlone 3,695 February 28, 2013 Share February 28, 2013 Weird is relative. And in MLP Forums, this level of awesomeness is normal. I thought bronies were weird too, in the 15 minutes between finding out about them and watching the show myself. "Human beings fascinate me Being just the way they are..."
