    Okay, so. Alex. My cousin's son. He's my super favoritist second cousin ever and lives in Texas. He's 12. I always look forward to seeing him on these vacations since he's awesome and likes to watch me play games. He himself plays a lot of games like Diablo, Skyrim, TF2, etc. Over the years, he's watched me play the likes of Fatal Frame, Silent Hill, and Disgaea. We always have a great time at these vacations and he is one of the solitary beams of light in an otherwise horribly awkward (though not wholly unpleasant) vacation with very religious family (I'm agnostic myself).

    His mother, my cousin, told me when she saw me that he specifically asked if I would be there this year because I'm apparently his favorite as well. This made me very happy to hear, naturally. But then...

    HE'S A BRONY TOO!

    His brother saw my pony shirt and asked, "You like My Little Pony?"

    To which I said, "I LOVE My Little Pony!"

    He said, "So does my brother."

    "Alex?"

    "Yeah. He's a brony."

    I fist pumped shouting "YES!" And he ran to get Alex. Alex took one look at me and my shirt and ran in for a big brony hug. We watched a few episodes last night along with his brother, who is also a brony to a lesser degree.

    I almost cried from pure joy and happiness at this revelation.

    I of course invited him here to EP, so we may be getting a new member who's an awesome relative of mine!

    Your brother seems like a cool guy. He watches ponies and doesn't afraid of anything.

    I didn't start playing M games until I was 14, and even to this day my parents forbid me from playing M games (although I do anyways, it's not like they'll notice...)

    Your cousin sounds cool, Yami.

    I have a cousin who watches MLP, but she's two years old, so I'm not sure if that makes her a Brony. She is really awesome, though.

    Thanks guys! Words can't express the elation and exuberance that surged through me upon this revelation. Or maybe they can, because they just did. :grin: When I say he's a brony, I mean the whole mile. He reads fanfics, listens to pony music, keeps up with EqD. He's more of a brony than me. :derpe: Except that I wear almost exclusively pony attire.

    Wow Yami! I am so happy for you :D

    I am actually a little jealous, I'm on my own over here, the only person I could possible persuade to watch an ep with me is my cousin, only he lives in the western part of the country and I the eastern, meaning I only get to see him around christmas D:

    But I'm glad you have so many friends and family members that are bronies, because if you do it means you are happy and that means I am happy :D
