BrassSong Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 Have any friends or family members that are bronies?Almost all my best friends are bronies (turned by me or my friend Sammy). My boyfriend is pretty 'meh' to the show, but he knows all the characters and will watch it with me (it's not action/adventurey enough for him)Sadly, I have no brony family members (mostly because I only have a few teenage cousins, most of which have no interest in cartoons). My mom knows of my bronyness, she's pretty indifferent. She wants me to 'grow up' and stop obsessing over cartoons, comics, and collecting toys; but on the other hand she knows it's those things that make me different and interesting. She tells her friends that "My Little Pony is the new hip thing." She's talked about buying me pony toys, but I guess she just doesn't want to keep track of which ones I have, lol.What makes me sad is that I wear my pony shirts to college (which has about 2,000 students) but no one has stopped to comment on it or even give them a second glance. No college bronies for Brass Song. ;3; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCTwilightSparkle Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 I have a lot of brony friends IRL, some are from my college and all of my high school friends who I still hang out with are bronies. I don't think I have any brony family members but my parents think the show is cute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie Cakes Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 lesee here. my sister has watched all of season one. we had a marthon during the summer. she's waiting for season two to be over so we can have another marathon next summer.I have one converted friend. he hasn't watched most of season 2 yet. he's waiting for Christmas break to have a marathonand that's it. everybody who I know that watches ponies won't watch 'cause they're waiting to watch them all at once. I have nobody to share my excitment about the new episodes with TT3TT what's even sadder is that my converted friend (the more brony-like of the two) has other brony friends, so by the time he sees me, he's already had all his discussions.also, my family thinks that female teenagers are the people who make up the fanbase, and every time I tell them that it's mostly adult males, they're shocked (even though I've told them all a good ten times already). my family doesn't think much of my brony-ness, they just think it's one of those wierd things I likedo we not have a topic for this already? I can't think of one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroHero Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 What makes me sad is that I wear my pony shirts to college (which has about 2,000 students) but no one has stopped to comment on it or even give them a second glance. No college bronies for Brass Song. ;3; Same story here, although instead of wearing the clothes, I have FiM for my laptop and cellphone wallpapers and draw the characters in public. No one's stopped and chatted so I dunno if that means no bronies or no bronies want to reveal themselves.Actually, I did come across someone drawing FiM-style characters on her laptop and stopped to talk but it turned out she was just a fan of the toy line, not the show itself. Sooooo.... cloooosse.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kal413 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Yeah, I've tried to tell my friends and family about ponies, but they seem too indifferent to give it a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davroth Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 I got converted by a good irl friend of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonShadow Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 I was converted by many friends at my school. I used to fall into the group that thought MLP in general was for small children, but after having to sit in a class watching the first episode, I got interested. Now I've been trying to convert other friends who still refuse to watch the show even when they listen to all the songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger Mint Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 hi hiA couple of my friends are bronies, but it all happened independently. I didn't even know it for the longest time, up until I made some off handed remark about an evil enchantress and got called out on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoth Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Just discovered that two of my friends at school are Bronies! I feel so happy to know I'm not alone in the fandom at my school. Makes saying "20% cooler" in public, well.....20% cooler! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlameLoneWolf Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I don't have any friends where I live that like MLP (well, I don't have many friends to begin with so...). I wish I had the courage to try to convert one into a brony, but if I did, I'd probably get picked on and bullied for the rest of my life (well, more than I do already).

MyLittlePonyTales Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 A week or two ago one of my female co-workers saw my Twilight Sparkle button on my name badge and said she was a closet Brony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashton Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I have 1 friend on a forum that's a brony, and 2 that like the show but dont *love* it...In Real Life, my DM's a brony (makes for some hilarious in-jokes during games) but nobody else... (well nobody I know, there's a girl I know at a local shop who loves anime, cartoons, and furries, so I suspect she might be, but I've not had a chance to ask her...)It's a lonly life for a brony in a rural small down in the bible belt...

DonBozzieri Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 My best friend's a brony, and he's the one that introduced me to it. Two more of my friends have seen it, but one didn't like it (he said he didn't really see how anyone but little girls could like it) and one did, but hasn't really become a brony.

Thoth Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 I spent most of 5th period today talking to one of my girl friends (Who IS a Brony) about Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy.......Can being a Brony get any cooler suddenly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunes Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 My two younger brothers and I regularly quote MLP at each other. My middle brother has a Derpy shirt, my youngest brother is nicknamed Applejack in his section in marching band (and before competitions, the low brass passes around a Celestia figure and presses her button for luck), and what's more is I discovered MLP independently from them. I was posting about it on Facebook and my brothers welcomed me to the herd. There was brohoofing.I converted one of my roommates, too. She bought me a Fluttershy when I was having a horrible day, and I gave her that little crystal Pinkie Pie keychain.Then she got me this for my birthday:Best roommate ever? I think yes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crownley Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Most of my close friends are bronies because of me, and through them we've spread the interest in ponydom to around 50 people in our area. It was around episode 10's release that I started showing the series to my skeptical bros...I've shown my mother and she enjoys it, but isn't too interested. My sister knows about it, but she's too busy with her job and apartment and boyfriend and all to watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
