(I honestly fell in love with the EQG style, it is a guilty pleasure). That is how I started to like /mlp/ with an anon who would visit me and post Twilight Sparkle all the time. The Twilight Sparkle posting grew on me.
One day I randomly went on cytube to join an /mlp/ channel and just by coincidence it was the /mlp/ anniversary stream. That day I joined the herd.
Lately I get pony art of my OC (but I am sure I will still get EQG content later on).
