Hi

[roguesoul 85]

Hi, I'm roguesoul, I am originally from fimfiction, same name, look me up if you want. Now I gotta question, to start my career here: what part of the fandom made you a brony? Was is it the fans, a story, a song, some art, or just the love of the show?

 

Mine was a few months after season two ended I found the show and watched them all on Netflix. But at that time I just liked the show. But one fateful night I looked up EqD and read Pen Stroke's fanfic, Past Sins. It took me 13 hours, but I read the whole thing straight through and loved it! And then the need to read more made me realize I was an egghead.   no, no I mean a brony.

.  Past Sins made me who I am today, and if not for that I would not be writing this today. But enough 'bout me, what made you guys a brony?

 

See ya later,

roguesoul

Hello! 'Sup?

 

Well, I answer to your question, I was first introduced to the fandom by the song Discord (The remix by TLT, though now I kind of prefer the original by Odyssey Eurobeat). In curiosity, I started watching the show and have been hooked ever since. As you can see, I fell in love with the character of Discord and have never looked back. But what I think really got me into the show was that each character was well-developed, and the show itself stepped all over the girly stereotypes. So yeah, that's my story.

 

I hope you enjoy yourself here at the forums!

Hey there pal! Welcome to the forums!

 

I'll answer your question by quoting a post I made a long time ago in the "How and when did you become a brony?" thread.

 

Well it all actually started sometime around July I believe. I was participating in a yard sale to help out the show choir class I was and still am in at the time. Why? Because dancing and singing is fun, and I have been so lucky to surprisingly have an amazing teacher!

 

Anyways, enough digression...

 

It was my teacher, a friend of my teacher, and their two young teenager daughters. We were all taking a break from the Yard Sale and me and the girls decided to go inside. I just took a seat on the couch and decided to casually watch some T.V. The two girls come by and sit down and decide to change the channel and go on Netflix. They clicked on Season 1, Episode 1 of My Little Pony.

 

My thoughts?

 

They do know there's a guy present...right?

 

However, me being a naturally open and curious guy, I decided to just go along with it and watch it with them. As the episode opened and introduced the ponies of the mane 6, I was just thinking, That Twilight pony seems very obnoxious. What the hell is with that psycho pink one. I really want to punch that annoying arrogant rainbow maned pony in the face. Rarity... and I thought the rest were girly?

 

All negative thoughts at first...I know, I feel horrible for thinking all that.  

 

But as the episode continued on, I found myself laughing at several funny moments in the show. And then when Nightmare Moon appeared and the mane 6 decided to venture out into the Everfree forest, I was actually surprised to find myself kind of hooked and eager to see what would happen next.

 

Eventually the show ended, and break time was over. And amazingly, I wasn't ashamed of watching that show with the two girls, maybe a little embarassed and felt a little weird, but really...I could of watched it again.

 

Since then, out of curiousity, I started searching up these ponies, just to see their back stories and who exactly they were. I began finding these ponies everywhere online and then I heard about the bronies and this fandom, which only allowed my openness and interest to grow.

 

And as I dove further into checking out all this fandom stuff, I found the one thing that really pushed me into becoming a brony.

 

That freaking fanfiction story, My Little Dashie.

 

Sounded so cliche first hearing about it, and I still hated that pony at the time, but I eventually read it.

 

I fell in love just five minutes into reading it.

 

And that fanfic actually gave me the full atmosphere of the show, everything those ponies and Equestria represented.....everything happy and beautiful that this world was(honestly) not. 

 

So that fanfic got me to feel sympathy and love for that Rainbow pony.

 

She was my number one favorite at the time.

 

After some deep contemplation, I decided to watch more of My Little Pony and I was much more into it than when first watching it. I grew to especially love Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and even that crazy Pinkie Pie!

 

Eventually my favorite two ponies became Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie. Rainbow Dash is now a strong third, but if it were to come down to choosing the coolest and most epic, she would win that in a heart beat!

 

And that's my story of how I fell in love with the show!

 

And it was also just after season 2 that this all occured.

Oh so you write some fanfics then? Maybe I'll read some sometime I'm sure their a million times better then the stuff I made .

 

And if you want to feel free to post your fanfic here! There is a fanfic section somewhere you can post it and link your story on fimfiction, might not get a Ton of exposure compared to fimfiction, but it helps.

 

I became a brony because I watched the show and liked it, then became even more a brony after finding the forums here, making an account, and discovering the awesome individuals and talented people and creations that exist here.

 

The show started it, and everything else made me more a brony.

 

Anyways, we're glad to have you here! Hope you enjoy yourself!
