Nylon 158 April 24, 2014 Share April 24, 2014 I remember how it was back around Halloween of 2011 when a friend gotten me to give the show a chance. Everything just felt so new and exciting as if I stepped into a whole new world. Now a days I don't feel that way as much (not that there's any problem with the show or fanbase, it's just that I've been around for so long that it just doesn't seem special) The whole point I am trying to make is that those days to me felt like nostalgia, and I was wondering if I am the only one feeling that way about those times. Tell me what you think, do you miss your first brony days as if it were like childhood or would you not say so. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassafrass 249 April 24, 2014 Share April 24, 2014 No, I don't have to worry about that because I literally just became a Pegasister this past month. XD Although I really got into the show around two years ago because of my little sis, but never admitted that I was a real fan of it until recently. But I can understand where you are coming from... Although I admit I like to recall old memories of when I first watched episodes of the show and the like... hehe. ^^; 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DokiLoki 519 April 24, 2014 Share April 24, 2014 Not really because ever since the show aired in 2010 I've been feeling more proud that I am a fan.

Inactive01 5,299 April 24, 2014 Share April 24, 2014 Yes I've had that moment. It was amazing to see the show for the first time and go on a long MLP marathon. It was amazing when I first joined the forums. I wish I experienced that magic again... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BastementSparkle 20,326 April 24, 2014 Share April 24, 2014 I miss the first days of all my interests. Discovery is such a fun thing. I still get that feeling to some extent whenever a new episode airs, just not as strong. 1 Twilight is best pony. Why hello MLPForums! What have ya been up to?

Jackleberry 1,923 April 24, 2014 Share April 24, 2014 From time to time, yeah I do miss it a little bit. I remember the first time I came on to this site, just two days after I became a brony, it felt so new and 'magical'. Now it just feels normal to come on here every day, however I don't mind it at all to be honest. I'm actually proud to have stayed around for as long as I have, I don't think I've ever managed to stick with something like this for this long. 2 ~ ♫ 3rd Eye | To suffer hate in search of love, or lose them both forever? 🎔 ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkflame 3,310 April 24, 2014 Share April 24, 2014 I do, and I understand the feeling. The feeling of discovering and falling in love with something new is always exciting. But you know what's also exciting? The deeper connection you feel with the show and the fandom once you've been in it for a while and can appreciate and understand it. 3 Sig by Thunderstorm Check out my Rarity fansite!

M'aiq the Liar 5,804 April 24, 2014 Share April 24, 2014 From time to time I miss my humble beginnings on /co/. The new discovery of the show, finding what I like, and its faults. Ban evading just so I was able to discuss the show on the /co/ "official pony threads". The endless amounts of headcanon, as we had next to 0 in terms of world building, or background information back then. The unity I felt with other ponybros as we set off across the internet, to be banned and infuriate others simply for liking cartoon ponies. Not to mention the mass of OC that was being produced the summer of 2011. Back before the "pony famous" were set in stone, and new people were rising to fame within the fandom daily. I do miss it sometimes, the rabid chaos that follows the sudden rise of an unexpected group,that explodes all over the internet. But I am glad to still be here, to witness its more stabile times. When it does not explode overnight, and new stars rising daily, but a calmer, more steady time. 1 http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/vera-yeoman-r5921Muh pleb tier OC .http://mlpforums.com/blog/1663/entry-12477-pony-waifu-wedding-13-maiq-x-fleetfoot/ MLP forum's #1 Fleetfoot fan also married to fleetfoot <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin_Case001 4,896 April 24, 2014 Share April 24, 2014 I fondly remember discovering the show. Watching my first episode (the one where discord tests twi's friendship and sings about wanting a glass of water) on demand. Even though I was alone at 1am, I still felt sort of nervous and excited. Honestly, I felt a little rebellious, which was exciting. Good times. Oh wait, that was, like, 3 weeks ago... Hooray! It's still new and exciting! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NomDeSpite 452 April 24, 2014 Share April 24, 2014 I became a brony when Season 1 was still airing. It was a good time in my life. I had a college roommate who was good friends with; he and I watched "Winter Wrap Up" together, I met alot of new people at this college and had some new adventures. I'm also one of those "Season 1 is best season" people, so that was fun. Yeah, I do miss those days. 1 On 4/12/2014 at 0:00 AM, Miaq_The_Truthful said: This is the internet, not reality.

Haven Celestii 9,385 April 24, 2014 Share April 24, 2014 Yes, actually. It seemed more magical back then, what with the whole first discovery of it and actually choosing whether to hide it or tell everyone about it. Something also felt better about wearing the name when i first joined as compared to now which is nothing special at all. I also got far less annoyed by overused pony memes/words/sayings, whereas now i tend to cringe from just hearing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostfacekiller39 23,860 April 24, 2014 Share April 24, 2014 I don't know. While everything felt so pure, Rarity and her fans were getting a lot of abuse at the time. It wasn't easy. Things are certainly looking better for us now, though, but the fandom doesn't feel as pure. I still immensely enjoy being a Brony, though 1 He who is Positively Obsessed With All Things Rarity!!!

Freewave 1,145 April 24, 2014 Share April 24, 2014 Yeah i get this feeling. I have a lot of nostalgia towards the first wave of this fandom when anything was possible and everything was new. Now everything is familiar, many people have moved on, people know their "places", and yet its still quite special and endearing. The question of course next becomes "when do i choose to move on". I haven't felt the urge to do that anytime super soon but it's always on the back of my mind of when you want to walk out through that open door. I've seen far too many friends and people i admire do just that already to not have that on my mind. 1 I have made brony music since 2011. I like all kinds of music and genres. I'm sure you'll like some of it.. Here's My YouTube..I have several albums on Bandcamp and Pony.FM. Check out the 20+ Musician project Maressey which I am running.

Fender 1,283 April 24, 2014 Share April 24, 2014 @, My way of solving this problem (at least to some degree,) was to take pretty much a break from everything pony for like...6 months. Now I have recently started Season 4, gotten into RPing and brony music again. It feels a bit fresh...not quite the same as my first months of being a brony, but fresh.

Oblivion 20,267 April 24, 2014 Share April 24, 2014 Meh, not really much, back then I never talked to any other bronies via skype, and pretty much only watched the show and wasn't that involved in the fandom it self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adachi 772 April 24, 2014 Share April 24, 2014 Kinda. I have some good memories associated with when I first became a true brony, but I'm kind satisfied where I am now, because I have become a better, and more spiritual person.

Rainbowrafsfg 0 January 5, 2015 Share January 5, 2015 Sometimes yes. It was fun- exciting and the fact that one of my friends was in the group was even better.

Monochrome Gray 7 January 5, 2015 Share January 5, 2015 (edited) I do and I don't. I don't because the video I watched that helped me in becoming a Brony made me cry and I don't really like crying. I do because said tears were tears joy and I remember the discovery of some wonderful.
