As for me, It started with the fan art I seen on some furry boards I frequented at the time, most notably, e621.net. I also noticed this content seemed to have many opinions both good and bad, and many members even started complaining about the art being there. I was never bothered by it, and later, I started looking into it, it was interesting that all this art around MLP, ( and quality work at that!) considering the reputation of the old shows and all this back a forth between bronies and furries, which was how i learned of the show and its fandom in the first place. well, did, more searching, seen info on the show and reviews from people, both enthusiastic and scathing. well, at this point, I had to see what all the fuss was . so, I decided to watch it, the first episode was "Applebuck season", and then, "dragon Quest". I was in stitches by the end, it was very funny and entertaining. so I watched the next episode, "lesson Zero". I knew after that one, I was hooked, plus, it was first time I noticed Her , Twilight Sparkle. she quickly became my favorite, and the more I watched, the more i was intrigued by her. It was after a certain fanfic though, later on, (which this show also got me into) , that I felt a deep connection to her, and not long after that that i fell in love with her.
