One of my female friends tried the show since she was curious at why males like it and got addicted in a day O_o Now few day later she is drawing pics of that yellow body pink hair pony Beholder has as avatar.(Fluttershy?)

Seriously, thats dang addiction power considering what she was thinking of it before she started watching ._.

Fluttershy, yes

Also, she started using MLP voice clip things for comedic effect o-o Like the one with Jazz voice singing about evil enchantress or something xD

I like how carefully you wrote those posts to make it sound like you don't watch the show. :B <3

I convinced someone I work with to watch it not too long ago. He came in the next day and told me he was hooked. I think he's further along than I am!

Another guy I work with is into the second season (he was the one who convinced me to watch it).

I had a several hour pony marathon in the lobby of my dorm and managed to get...5-7ish people hooked on it.

Mission accomplished.

Question for anyone who is willing to answer: How did you get into the mlp fim craze?

For me, it all begain when I was going to vg cats to see if they had any updates. There was a comic on there that had the CMCS getting killed at the end of "Show stoppers", and pinkie pie saying "There gone.... FOREVER!". Needless to say, this confused the fuck out of me. I checked scotts {vgcats creator} blog he has on his website, and he actully recemended MLP: FIM! I had left it at that untill I heard about that show being popular on the internet! This confused the hell out of me, making ask things like "WTF? Why is everybody going all lovey for a stupid little girls show"!? Eventually I had enough, and I decided to check an episode out. What episode did I happen to find? "Sonic rainboom". Needless to say, My fucking jaw dropped to the floor. I HAD to check out more episodes, so I watched other episodes, and here I am now {BTW, one of the places I kept hearing about the show from was this very site}.

Sorry about that, Just felt the need to tell my story somewhere. Also, as you can see in my story, I was a little bit of a judgemental asshole back then, but mlp fim changed that a lot.

I was convinced by this very forum to check it out.

I think it was...

...was it 4 chan?

I think it was I heard about it from the internets, visited /co/, visited here, finally decided to give it a try. Or something.

Oh! No! Wait wait wait! I first heard about it on FurAffinity because I'm a sick fuck. Yeah, I remember now.

I got in through TV tropes. I can't remember if it first caught my attention through the forums or a Wiki Walk, but either way I stumbled over to the show's page and started browsing its tropes. After reading over Better Than It Sounds for "Suited for Success, " I decided to give that episode a try. I did. I liked it. I decided to start from the beginning. I watched. I joined the herd.

I was looking for something to do while Doctor Who was on a hiatus. Ended up bumping into My Little Timelord fanfic and loved it.

Simple as that.

I saw a reviewer called CR make a five-second character thing for Pinkie Pie, and really liked the animation of it. So I decided to check out the first episode when my roommates were away, and found a great big, stupid grin plastered on my face for 44 minutes as I watched the first two episodes. I then proceeded to voraciously consume every episode up until 16 (where the season was at the time) within a week, and moved onto fora and fanfiction, and whatnot.

I must admit, when it comes to ponies I am definitely in the closet. I enjoy watching the show and reading the odd piece of fanfiction, but I would be mortified if my Real Life friends or relatives learned of it.

Yeah, silly, I know. But hey, everyone has their own dirty little secrets

I'm imagining a very proper Italian man in a suit and monocle watching Friendship Is Magic on his computer, his monocle falling out when someone sneaks up behind him.

I was noodling around on Knowyourmeme, saw a picture of Vinyl Scratch and thought: Cool, I'll avie that.

I did so, went to bed and next morning PONY EVERYWHERE!!!!!!

And I was like: IS THIS MY DOING???? 0_o

Well, I have no monocles and I do not give guarantees about me being "very proper", but the rest of the scenario is definitely possible.

Although I do not usually wear my suit when watching Friendship Is Magic.

Well, except that one time at that conference in Germany, but I had a good reason for that: I had just returned at my hotel from a talk at the department, and I had half an hour to spare, and the new episode had just got out, so I watched it while I still was in my suit and my good tie.

I kept seeing pony avatars everywhere around here and noticed that the threads had a crapton of posts. So I decided to take a look. The first episode I watched was "Suited for Success."

Everything fell into place from there. Now every scrap of paper in my backpack has a pony or three doodled onto it. I'll have to scan some in eventually.

I had the impression that you're the sort of fellow who wears a tie to church and every work day? Do you usually wear them with the less formal odd jacket and trousers, as I do?

(... no wonder Beholderess compares me to Rarity.)

Alright, say hello to my official handdrawn ponysona!◊

My original plan was to scan it in and color it digitally, but alas, my scanner had decided it hates me. So I slapped some color on with a combination of pencils and Sharpies and took a photo of it on my phone.

Hey Kegisak?

I love you.

Just saying.

It was recommended to me by this site.

I just introduced my best friend to it!

Although when I first told her I was watching it, she said "Who are you?"

I was persuaded that it was worth watching from the beginning during a discussion on IJBM 2 a while back, although my initial chance exposure to it was on Youtube.

@Gingerale:....But I didn't write them carefully, I don't watch the show....

I saw that people had avatars of it, got interested from what I've heard, and watched.

Also, my sister doesn't really like the show much, but she said that Big Macintosh is her favorite character.
