Thank you for sharing that with us, Gypsy 
Warden's right, you're in a good place with us here.
My story also isn't very dramatic, but I found it a bit funny. When season one first came out, the show used to come on during my lunch break. That summer I usually watched the Daily Show reruns from the previous night, but one day I had actually seen the ep the night before, so I started channel surfing. (This story is riveting, I know x3) I saw "My Little Pony" on the tv guide and went "Holy crap, I gotta watch this trainwreck of a cartoon" (Expecting it to be terrible like so many other little kids shows - here's looking at you, Secret Agent Oso...that shit still gives us nightmares). The ep was Dragonshy and in about 30 seconds I was fucking hooked. I went on to watch it every day during lunch, and told my buddies about it that weekend when we met up to play some Yugioh x)
At work a couple weeks later, a friend of mine sent me an image in a text with the caption "I need a gallon of testosterone, stat! I think THIS is cute" ...but the image wouldn't open. So I replied "Hey, I can't open it, but don't worry bro, I watch a show about pastel-colored ponies xD"
It was quiet. And then..."You're shitting me? Me tooo! I love Fluttershy! She's the best!"
xD I lost it. We started talking about our favorite moments for quite a while, and finally I asked, "So what was that pic you sent earlier?"
"....Rainbow Dash"
I got online that night and out of sheer curiosity searched "My Little Pony" on the clothing site Red Bubble. "759 results found" ._________.
A few months later iBrony was formed and I was completely immersed in the fandom.
