Hello! :)

Hi. I have just recently became a brony. Two days ago to be exact. The funny thing is, I was a typical person that frowned apon the idea of bronies, but after babysitting my younger sister and her always saying "Let's watch my little pony!", I would just roll my eyes and start to plug in my ear buds and play video games. My Ex-best friend though, is probably the one that got me the most interested in the show. He would always annoy me with it by talking about it non-stop at my middle school last year. I thought he was the ONLY brony at my school, but after he moved away, oh how I saw how much I was wrong. Nearly HALF of my 8th grade class were bronies (Even some of the kids that were BULLIES). They were playing with a fluttershy toy that I assume they got from a happy meal at mcdonalds.  Before long, my true best friend said "Hey..... Um... I tried watching the show and... I'm not really that into it." I was shocked by the fact that he tried watching the show. For the past 3 years I have tried to avoid MLP: FIM, but after it constantly being waved in my face, I had no choice but to try and watch the show. That was Friday when I first started watching it alone in my room on Netflix. I skipped past the intro because I personally find it quite annoying. Before long I watched the first 3 episodes and I was just like "meh." and then I stopped watching and I tried to go to sleep. There's just something about the show that is hypnotizing though. I got back up and watched up until halfway through episode 7 and that was when I was just too tired to watch anymore. As much as I like the idea of friendship and harmony, the things that intrigue me about the show the most are the character design (Giant eyes 0.0) and the personalities of the ponies. So that pretty much describes how I became a brony. I must say that I am critical about it but I still love it because it genuinely is a good show, whether it was meant for girls or not. I don't plan on telling my family that I'm a brony whether it is the right thing to do or not, because I KNOW FOR A FACT that they will just laugh and make fun of me. Quite sad actually. Lastly, I'm not an EXTREME brony, like, I'd never go out and wear a sweater that has ponies on it, like this one brony at my school. And I'd never dye my hair to look like Rainbow Dash's mane, nomatter how much I like her.  And to wrap this up, my three favorite out of the mane 6, even though I like them all, are Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash.

Welcome to the fandom and the forum. I like your story. It reminds me of how I became a brony two years ago. I wish I had brony friends in my middle school back then, but I'm pretty sure I was one of the few since there weren't as many bronies as there are today, and it was middle school so everyone was centered on trying to be tough and cool.

 

Anyways you will love this forum. It's loads full of awesome.
