How did you find ponies?

Gomez, male age 19. I want to become an aircraft pilot. (Bet you can't see where this is going.)

I actually sought out Friendship is Magic in an attempt to have some other fantasy-verse defeat Equestria in a VS match on the Spacebattles forum.

My opinion of the show softened as I looked deeper into it. Then I saw Rainbow Dash and her dream to join the Wonder Bolts, and boom. I was taken back to my childhood when I had dreamed about joining the Blue Angels. Nuff said.

I was a fan of the original series (favorite pony was Firefly) when I was little and have been a bit of a pony geek ever since. I'm not entirely sure how I discovered FIM but I started watching it and here I am :)

No one I know is remotely interested in MLP and my dad hates it when I watch cartoons especially this one. He thinks its for babies :roll:

I'm Matthew, I'm 22. I discovered my little ponies via a thread on the bay12games forums (dwarf fortress is a pretty awesome game by the way) ; there they talked a lot about that new cartoon was awesome and yet they felt weird for liking it because it's supposed to be for little girls. I gave it a try. And watched every episode in one go, up to episode 22. Then eagerly waited to see the next episode released on youtube.

Strangely, it was at TV Tropes where I first got wind of this show. I decided to check it out (Bridle Gossip was the first episode I watched) and I found it actually was a good cartoon!

It completely made me forget about thinking of My Little Pony as being either totally girly or one huge toy commercial.

Well i fond pony's wall having a hangover! Was just looking up junk on my laptop and tripped over some pony's on you tube, and had a watch.

But it was 'over a barrel' that got me, and now here i am! and some what more sober too!

I found ponies when i was browsing something completely unrelated on youtube, and stumbled upon a number of YTPMVs and Pony/Movie Trailer parodies. It kinda made me interested. So then I watched the the 2 part pilot, and that seemed alright. And I pretty much got hooked after watching eps such as Dragonshy, and Bridle Gossip.

It's funny, I actually found it via a friend who sent me a message on MSN saying:

"Man, can you believe these sad people who watch My Little Pony?" I laughed with him and promptly said, "Man, I could never watch that crap."

Then I saw who the producer and directors were.

And then I was saying to that same friend, "Is it odd that I watched every episode of Friendship is Magic last night and then read a ton of fan fiction before I went to sleep?"

Spoiler: He's a brony too now, thanks to my constant posting of pony references.

I admitted to being a brony a few nights ago. I got quite a bit of hate from my friends but they got over it. The next day I noticed that there was all kinds of pony in their youtube recommendations when was at their houses. The seeds have been sewn. All I have to do is keep making pony references. :D

This story has inspired me. This seems like it might even work- just admitting it to everyone...
