I came across MLP in 2010 while walking my college campus, someone was watching it and I stopped for a minute and saw was an adult male. I looked at the situation and thought it was kinda odd, a year later I run into the .mov series. With that I watched them and some other parody stuff and I got intrigued by it, some time later I saw it on the HUB which at the time I used to watch Batman:TAS/Batman: Beyond. I thought what the heck and I watched the season 2 finale. I thought it was alright so I checked out more episodes using the HUB and YouTube, After a time I realized I enjoyed it a lot so I joined the fan community and accepted the name Brony.
After some time I found my space in the fandom, I loved to make people smile. I saw all these negative things happening with my fellow Brony so the smile thread was born, it's goal was to bring whoever it was made for to feel better. I loved it so much I'm doing it for a panel to a con I'm going to in the summer; with this fandom I have found so much enjoyment. It has actually opened me up more and made my life brighter.
