Starswirl the Trixie 975 February 2, 2012 Share February 2, 2012 Hello, everypony! Wow, that's the first time I've ever actually typed that word before. I'm just joining the community, though I joined the herd about a month ago (see below). Hmm, how to introduce myself... I am currently living the American Midwest, and I am interested in/study political science, history, and philosophy. I vaguely remember the first day I heard about the Brony movement (back in mid 2011), when I thought it sounded quite strange, but I accepted it. I began to realize how big it was when I saw other forums gaining a huge Brony fanbase; even one open fascist changed his username to "Twilight Sparkle". I saw a few more references to Brony culture throughout the year, keeping my interest in it (from an objective point of view) alive. In December, I decided to do a Christmas project for a friend (not a Brony): I replaced the horse Marengo with Pinkie Pie in a picture of Napoleon (it was David's "Napoleon Crossing the Alps at St. Bernard's Pass", if you must know), and titled it "Napoleon Bronyparte". It was in the process of doing Google image searches for a suitable pony picture, and going to Wikipedia to learn the names of the characters (I had never seen an episode at that point), that I began to like candy-colored ponies. Around the same time, I got into communication with an old friend who, I found, had become a Brony. His encouragement ensured my conversion, and here I am. So, hello! #SOCKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
