Tex 88 April 12, 2013 Share April 12, 2013 (edited) Hi there, I'm Tex. Funny story on how I ended up here (No it isn't.) A huge portion of my skype list happen to be into the whole FiM trend, and were prone to spamming up group chats with how much they adored the show, to which I responded with abysmally ignorant remarks without any actual episodes under my belt. Needless to say, curiosity eventually got the better of me and I sat down to watch an episode roughly 6 months ago. I couldn't last more than 2 minutes (which isn't nearly enough time to appreciate the damn show, let alone judge it) and shut the window off, returning to my state of blissful ignorance. About three weeks back I finally sat down and watched an episode when a friend of mine showed me some downright adorable artwork that compelled be more than any fan-boy argument ever could. So,fighting against my pride and prejudice, I sat through the first two episodes. Needless to say (seeing how I've ended up on a brony forum) I loved them and sped through all three seasons in a single week. I had no idea what I found so compelling about the show. I'm very very picky about what kinds of literature, whether in a visual or text heavy/text dependent medium, I'll actually enjoy. And when I say picky, I will not give credit to anything that's below my personal threshold of fantastic (8/10). My analytical skill is unrefined (that isn't to say I'm not capable), so I searched you tube for a few people who could possibly help me figure out why I appreciated this show so much. After going through a few channels, their analysis on several core concepts made too much sense to ignore, and I found myself loving the show even more as the time went by, for reasons other than 'fluttershy is kie-wee deh-shu' or 'omg pony animation' and ended up overjoyed that there were actually people who had such insightful opinions on the show. And I've now ended up here. I'm looking forward to finding more people that enjoy the show, and of course sharing opinions. Recently I've started drawing (see avatar) and will probably continue with that if I can figure out vectors, seeing how that's a much more effective tool when approaching the show's style (seeing how my usual style isn't really... A great tone for pony art, imo). *inhale* Favorite pony is fluttershy, and rarity is best pony. So yea, hi.

Jokuc 8,174 April 12, 2013 Share April 12, 2013 (edited) Well hi there new pony! It's always fun to read stories about how people became bronies. May I ask, have you visit any other popular sites within the community, such as Everfree Radio on everfree.net (or go directly to http://everfree.net/popup/radio.php ) or Equestria Daily on equestriadaily.com ? Probably yes, but I'm just wondering how much new ponies in the community knows about the places to go to and such. But I hope you'll enjoy your stay, see you around Edited April 12, 2013 by Jokuc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex 88 April 12, 2013 Author Share April 12, 2013 I've been to EQ a few times for art and art tutorials, but that radio link is new (and it's quickly found a way into my bookmarks.) Thanks for that. *Credit to Kyoshi for great sig* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittlePonyTales 273 April 12, 2013 Share April 12, 2013 Hi there, welcome to MLP Forums! So, are you a bit new to the Brony culture of the internet? "Reality is a lovely place, but I wouldn't want to live there." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex 88 April 12, 2013 Author Share April 12, 2013 Brand spanking new, with literally under three weeks of interest, and less than 4 days of 'study'. I use the term 'study' lightly. *Credit to Kyoshi for great sig* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittlePonyTales 273 April 12, 2013 Share April 12, 2013 Oh wow! Gees, where to start... Well, you've just been told about EqD and Everfree Radio. Okay, there are a TON of pony blogs on Tumblr, many of them Ask blogs. Let me point you to a few good ones. Moon Fall Slice of Life Ask Princess Molestia (not quite so bad as it sounds) Ask Chrysalis There are just so so many, I can't even begin to list them. But those are quite excellent. If you're just looking for pony art, the Fillydelphia Tumblr will do the trick. There are also a lot of DeviantArt groups that have pony art. Oh man, and fans games are on DA too, and, and... This fandom has gotten big. XD Let's just say there's a lot of content, and it's everywhere. Here's a PMV that Weird Al Tweeted about! "Reality is a lovely place, but I wouldn't want to live there."
