How I became a brony. In depth

Yup, this is how it happened, started on Facebook. I HAD to be the curious one. It could have been ANYONE else. But no, just me. I thought it continued onto Skype but it didn't. I got links to the episode via facebook chat below WALL O' TEXT INCOMING.

So Thomas, are you going to give Ponies a try ?

Octobarrr 6, 2011Thomas Ashcroft
When I have time, if I have time

Octobarrr 6, 2011Josh Leland
Ill issue you the 3 episode challenge that turned most people I know into bronies
First 3 episodes
Well, first 2 and if you think "This aint that bad" you watch the third

Octobarrr 6, 2011Thomas Ashcroft
I want to get through Outlaw Star first (Small note, I never got through Outlaw Star)

Josh Leland
The first 2 is a two-parter thing, so you gotta watch those 2.
I watched them and though "Not bad, not as bad as I thought itd be anyway" so I watched more and by episode 5 or 6 I was a brony

Thomas Ashcroft
Where the fuck does brony come from?

Octobarrr 6, 2011Josh Leland
/b/rony.... Or Bro+Pony. Both kinda, but practically nobody goes on /b/ for Brony stuff anymore

This part may confuse we were talking about Media Studies
Octobarrr 6, 2011Josh Leland
Brony Powers ACTIVATE ?

Octobarrr 6, 2011Thomas Ashcroft
Not even seen it yet
might read SAM beforehand and put me off it entirely

Octobarrr 6, 2011Josh Leland
No.
Dont
You dont even know who Big Mac or the CMC are...

Octobarrr 6, 2011Thomas Ashcroft
I imagine big mac is the big black horse? (I was best knowledgable non brony

Octobarrr 6, 2011Josh Leland
Nope
Thats Nightmare Moon
Antagnonist for the First 2 eps (The introductionary ones)
Big Mac is a big red horse, Applejacks older brother.
NO MORE PONY INFO, YOU NOW HAVE TO WATCH TO LEARN

Octobarrr 6, 2011Thomas Ashcroft
Fine I will watch if I must... (BIIIG Mistake)

Octobarrr 6, 2011Josh Leland

Octobarrr 6, 2011Thomas Ashcroft

Octobarrr 6, 2011Josh Leland

Octobarrr 6, 2011Josh Leland
3 ep challenge

Octobarrr 6, 2011Thomas Ashcroft
Oh jesus christ IT is singing... (Giggle at the Ghostie is now one of my favourite songs)

Octobarrr 6, 2011Josh Leland
Which ep ? I dont recall any singing in the first 2
later that hour

Octobarrr 6, 2011Thomas Ashcroft
Now it is digimon with the whole elements thing. Courage, Hope, Sincerity, Knowledge, Love, Light, Friendship, Reliability and kindness... WTF?
Ok not technically the same but... Otaku shines through

Octobarrr 6, 2011Josh Leland
Actually
Its Generosity, Laughter, Loyalty, Magic, Kindness.... Just saying

Octobarrr 6, 2011Josh Leland
Right, whats your opinion of it after watching First 2 eps ?

Octobarrr 6, 2011Thomas Ashcroft
...
[link] Think into it for a sec

Octobarrr 6, 2011Josh Leland
What do you m- ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD

Octobarrr 6, 2011Thomas Ashcroft
lololol

Octobarrr 6, 2011Josh Leland
You have to admit though, the series aint bad

Octobarrr 6, 2011Thomas Ashcroft
Twilight rage

Octobarrr 6, 2011Josh Leland
Omygodyouusedtheirnames (Yeah Twilight was the first pony I ever used the name for)

Octobarrr 6, 2011Josh Leland
Yeah I thought that too
And yellow one = Fluttershy, Farmer = Applejack
Applejack is named after Booze btw.
Hard Cider to be exact

Octobarrr 6, 2011Thomas Ashcroft
I thought it was butter something. And I know Applejack is an alcoholic beverage (Looking over this, I was kind of an idiot

Octobarrr 6, 2011Josh Leland
SUBLIMINAL ADVERTISING TO THE YOUNG KIDS LOL.
Nope. No butter xD

Octobarrr 7, 2011Josh Leland
How'd you find the episodes ?
Awesome

Octobarrr 7, 2011Thomas Ashcroft
do you want me to show you the video again?

Octobarrr 7, 2011Josh Leland
I see you watched Episode 4 of your own accord ? c: (It began)

Octobarrr 7, 2011Josh Leland
So.. what did you think ?
And you have to give me an actual opinion this time, not a video link.

Octobarrr 7, 2011Thomas Ashcroft
Ok then
erm lets see. Sugar coated sweetness to make it even sweeter layed over the plot, multicoloured ponies, decent character development. Somewhat believable... The things wrong is that it seems a bit too sweet. Too much sweetness can make you sick, they somewhat change that each episode slightly to make it more bearable. Finally [link]

Talking about music
Octobarrr 7, 2011Thomas Ashcroft
Indeed. One thing this show has taught me is the shit weather was caused by rainbow pegasuses in the clouds jumping on them

Octobarrr 7, 2011Josh Leland
Pinkie and Rainbow seem to be pretty good friends, It's shown in the episode with the Griffon, you'll see

Octobarrr 7, 2011Thomas Ashcroft
ok then... What makes you think I will watch further?

Octobarrr 7, 2011Josh Leland
Because its good, and the community is amazing. And there's nothing wrong with something sweet in a world of cynicism
You will never be judged by the bronies. Just saying ;D

Octobarrr 7, 2011Thomas Ashcroft
your persuasion tactics do not work on me Leland... Fine I will watch episode 5 then that is it

And the rest was pretty much history, basically me finding out more about the bronies and watching more eps, then I got Josh's Skype... The End

And No I do not permit you or anybody else to add me or Josh on Facebook unless we say you can, understood? There was one exception, but that was because I was a nice guy.
