So I wanna how everyone first realized they were a brony or pegasister. Not just oh Im gunna watch this show till the end, but actually emotionally involved in the show, characters, etc. You like this and just want to keep watching it.

My story goes as follows:

The first time I heard of the brony craze was last year, 2014, when my cousin told me about that he would be bored in his house and his little sister would watch the show, so he would just sit and watch it with them. He told me what the show was about and even showed me a death a battle of Starscream vs Rainbow Dash. I was like hey Rainbow Dash is pretty cool. Probably joked about how I'm gunna watch the show and what not.

Of course, at the moment I was just happy and impressed that there are many grown men out there defying gender sterotypes and doing what they love. To me, if you're not hurting anyone with what you're doing then do it and enjoy it! So I was like hey that's pretty cool. I do not give two sh***s about things being girls or masculine. I don't believe those things exsist. To me, if something is girly that means it has girls and if something is manyly it has men. So I thought MLP FIM was girls because most of their characters were girls or only girls as far as I've seen with the previous generations. However I did not know the generations were genrations until I started researching, which happened right before I watched the show.

One day in early November of 2015 I was watching a video from HelloGreedo (a youtuber who does reviews n star wars amongst other things) and he talked about how being a grown man and dressing up like a Stormtrooper is no different then being a grown man and loving MLP: FIM. I was blown away that he talked about that. I also thought that this show was for like toddlers, you know because of the graphics of earlier genrations.

So that day I decided to watch it.

I was not a brony after watching the first episode, but I did like it. I was like wow that was pretty good. I enjoyed it. Because the episode left on a cliff hanger I decided to watch the next episode, of course.

This episode was incredible. I could not stop smiling the entire time. It definitely extinguished every thought I had of the show prior to watching it. The only things really "girly" in terms of other people's standards were the pretty colors and ponies. But the things that the show was trying to embrace were not at all. Friendship? Friendship isn't girly we all have friends. Loyalty? Honesty? Laughter? Kindness? Generosity? None of that stuff is girly. These are human traits that I adore in people. These are the things I try to live by. I love expressing my feelings for things I love and this show did exactly that. These are basically things I lived by before I even saw this show and after watching it, it makes me want to be a better person!

This episode was funny, smart, spontaneous, well thought out and just left me wanting more, Pinkie's song? Oh my god!! Don't even get me started. I loved that song! I learned all the lyrics as soon as the episode was over. I could not stop hearing it.

After that I just strived to learn as much as I can about MLP: FIM. I've seen every single episode for all 5 season, went through a shortened run of all the episodes I enjoy a second time (some I saw multiple times), saw all EG movies, saw all the shorts, learned the lyrics to most of the songs, became part of two MLP websites, bought a Rainbow Dash Cutie Mark necklace, constantly looking for good MLP fanfic and canon material outisde of the show and movies, watched lots of youtube videos and subscribed to many brony channels, ordered the Mane 6 chapter books and now am reading them!

I cannot wait for season six and the 2017 movie!

So yea. I am interested in your stories of how you ll became bronies/pegasister. :D
