As the title says, when did you first realize you were in deep with being a brony. For me it was a month or so ago when I was singing along with Winter Wrap Up during my second go-around with the series and naming each of the background ponies I saw in my head. How about you guys?
when i watched the entire first season with my little 4 year old niece under the excuse of making sure she doesn't break my laptop
I realized I was a brony when I was just starting season 2. It wasn't "oh, man," but more of a "huh, I suppose this makes me a brony then." My bronyism was fortified upon joining this site.
I didn't really stop and think of it in the moment, but probably when I downloaded over 10,000 pony pics. I felt like I couldn't get enough. Every look, every expression, I just enjoyed looking at them.
When I began to sing along with the title theme... Which may or may not have been the second episode I saw....
On my second day of being a brony. I ran up the stairs humming the MLP:FiM opening theme music, went into my room and started watching ponies. I think that was when I fully realised it. Although on the first day of watching ponies, I got to the 11th episode.
It was three stages for me: 1.) Watching an hour-long review of the show by two awesome guys on Youtube. 2.) Seeing Fluttershy for the first time. 3.) Hearing Winter Wrap-Up for the first time.
If this counts as "I'm really a brony" what with all the ponies all over the internet? they must be cool I bet I will like them, I like cool things. *ponies it up* yep :3
When my mother walked in on me watching "Winter Wrap Up", I knew I was a full Brony. Also, when I joined this site. Woo hoo.
I'll never forget it. I was all alone for a few days, my mother to another city for work. I was scrolling down the newest products of Ebay when i saw a pony plushie. I decided to google it (first thing you do when you ignore something: google it!), and i falled on the wiki pages of Lauren faust. I knew her for many kids show (I'm babysittin') so i looked on youtube for small vids, showing scenes from the show, and before i realized it, i had watched the first season twice. 11 may 2011.
