What's wrong with you pieces of trash anyway? Being a brony is functionally equivalent to being a drug addict.
>>29665238
I think I figured it out.
For a while now, I've asked myself why I haven't gotten tired of the show. As I read many posts and threads about how the show has changed over time, I've thought "You've noticed it too. You can't deny it. It just isn't the same as it once was", and I started to think about all the flaws and mistakes in the past seasons and now.
I've defended the show on this board, even Season 6. I almost reached a point of reneging on those defenses however, and accepting that the magic is lost and too much time has passed. But recently, as I was rewatching some Season 1 and 2 episodes, followed by ones from season 6, I realized something. The reason I still watch has nothing to do with how I perceive the show in terms of quality, at least not anymore.
I watch it, and will continue to, because I love these characters. I love to see them smile, and laugh, I love to think about how much they've made me smile and laugh since 2011. Some of the darkest years of my lifeyes I know edgycoincided with when I became a part of this fandom, and the fact that I also remember them fondly and with joy in my heart because of these wonderful ponies is something I can't ever get over. These joyful, bright, happy beacons of positivity and utter joy brought light into my dark life. And even now, they still do, lighting the future. I love them as much as I did in the beginning. And the fact that so many people across the world shared this love made me even happier. And despite how jaded I am now and how liberally and frequently I call you people autistic faggot weirdos, I am still with you on this ride. I see that now. And no matter what happens, I always will be. I will never thought forget the kindness and joy you all have brought me. Ponies and humans.

>>29665253
I thought this is what everybody thought. Recent seasons are just as good (better IMO) because it has literally always been about nothing but character. (and that's the only thing you could say has gotten worse, really, but you'd still be wrong.(so I have no idea why people think the new seasons are worse, really, esp. if it's not the character thing like you say))
>>29665253
I don't believe I ever cared about the quality of the show, just that it continued. I don't know what I'll do when it stops.
>>29665246
DELET
>>29665256
And then the zs, for reasons scootaloo will never understand, stop.
>>29665335
FUCKING LIFE!!
>>29665253
Completely agree. I love seeing them be happy.
There's something about seeing them make friends, bonding - becoming closer to one another, and, to a lesser extent, the conversations they have that just makes me smile. Watching them succeed where I cant,or just plain refuse to, makes me so happy because somewhere out there, far, far away, there exists these creatures which truly love the life they live. And I love them for it far more than I envy them for it.It probably helps that they are adorable ponies, but I digress

>>29665253
This
>>29665186
I just want the old times back, when /mlp/ was fast and the fandom had more creative people in it. It's too late for me to do anything, I'm just to busy now. I miss all the old artists, writers, songwriters, and animators, even the shitty ones. I miss when people were excited, when the show had something going for it. Now, everything the show or Hasbro does seems to be a step backwards, and the fandom seems almost beyond hope. I was praying the movie would save this fandom, but from the looks of it, there's nothing left to hang onto. I was hoping it would end at least with some kind of bang. But I don't think anyone cares enough for that to happen.
>>29665253
That's right!! And even I've fell in love with Twilight!! I just love her so much!!

I want to take in a pony, and give her a warm place to sleep
>>29676385
>The Little Match Girl
That hurt more than I thought it would.
>>29678242
>>29678245
She'll probably freeze during the night, shivering under a tattered blanket she got from the garbage. Every once in a while she peeks out, lighting a single match and placing her hoofs as close to it as she can, almost burning herself in the process... But the fading warmth is more than worth it. In a way, it brings back memories of the times before. The good times.

I'll post here because the Hassenfeld Brothers thread is gone. First time writing to this community. Hope you like it.
>You get up, woken by the sound of that fucking rooster that never shuts up the whole night.
>Ignoring the pile of dishes and trash next to your computer you go to the bathroom and get ready for your day.
>Every day it gets a bit harder to not show any hate when your parents call you to ask you to visit them.
>A traitorous partner and a bunch of backstabbing friends made you shun everyone except father and mother.
>You won't even have any pets because you don't want to inflict yourself upon an innocent dog or cat.
>You get dressed and while dreading the work day, you start heading out. You need the internet to dull everything, after all.
>There's something on the porch, however. A large package. "Hassenfeld Co." is written on it. God fucking damnit.
>You've only browsed about those ponies at the privacy of your own laptop, protected by a really strong password. But perhaps the parents were smarter than you. You never suspected that they could keep tabs on all their network traffic. Oh well.
>There was a letter glued to the box.
>"Hopefully this will make you feel a bit less lonely. Hope we're not wrong. Love, Mom and Dad."
>You may be a misanthropic bastard, but you're not an ungrateful little bitch. They must have spent half their lifetime savings on this.
>So you decide to let your customers down for today and figure out what the hell to do with this thing.
>>29665186
I'm so sick of you fucking kids thinking having a significant other will fix all your problems. Well, it won't. Soon you get tired and annoyed with each other. Love never lasts. And why would you even want it to? So that you can love someone just for you or them to die and leave the other devastated.
>>29679006
>After making that instructional booklet your bitch, you start setting up everything.
>A bed, a small trough, food, educational recordings...
>You keep thinking why you do this to yourself. Then you think of how happy it'd make Anon Sr. and Mrs. Anonette if you showed them the slightest trace of you still being the son they remember.
>You justify it by saying it's not a real animal, it's just some sort of biologically engineered toy.
>So you tell yourself you'll "boot it up for the first time", and that whatever you do won't matter because it's not an animal.
>You press a button on the incubator, and it opens ominously. Soon, you notice the little quadruped in the middle of the contraption.
>Light olive coat, vivid red mane and tail. Gangly physique, and slightly on the thin side. Great, did you get a discounted model?
>You bite your lip, because one does not look a gift horse in the mouth. Or body.
>The little one moves slightly before stretching and yawning, fixing her gaze on you.
>"It's just a device" - you think constantly, as you pat your lap invitingly while sitting on the floor.
>You would talk, but it would be best for the imprinting process to not register angry tones.
>She weakly gets up, and sneezes in just the cutest way.
>It would warm your heart if you weren't hell-bent on keeping it obsidian-like.
>Shit, you almost forgot: You have to give it a name. very important thing to not have the little critter develop issues.
"I uh... Hey, Vanadise --"
>She seems to perk up at your voice. But you crush your cheek with your teeth in frustration.
>The first name that came to your mind is the name you were planning to give to your firstborn girl with your ex.
>You swallow your blood as the little pony struggles to get down from the incubator to climb onto your lap.
>You used to be a vet and shelter worker before everything went downhill, so you know the movements to make her comfortable.
How's this? Should I continue?
>>29679023
This is kinda what I'm trying to tackle with my story. A pony's life with a man broken beyond repair.
You sound a bit rude, but you kinda sound like the misanthropic Anon I'm trying to portray.
>>29674348
There was a better green in that thread but everyone always picks this one over it
>>29679073
I'm liking it.
>>29679073
>After a short nap, your pony yawns and looks up again, swishing her tail a bit. Her vivid, large eyes try to pierce into yours as if to start a conversation.
>Just when you think you can relax a bit and that this might not be so bad, your neighbor walks by.
>She's the obnoxious lady in her twilight years that can't seem to shut up about your lifestyle, about how you need Jesus, how she'll always be glad to cook you a meal to get you away from the pizza and tacos.
>You know better than that, given how she's the leader of the gossip group of older women that don't seem to have anything else to do that isn't talking crap about the people they don't like.
>"Lovely morning we're having, Anon! Oh, did you finally get a pet? I hear they're all the rage in the Derp States of 'Murica! Did you get your parents to buy that for you? It must have been really expensive! I'm sure you couldn't pay it on your own with your measly computer repair job, you're too good to all those assholes in the slums of the city, I tell you...
>For a moment you do an inhuman effort to swallow all the fury that surges through your veins, as you picture yourself ripping this woman's entrails through her fucking throat to shut her up once and for all
>But you always stop yourself knowing that if you lashed back at her, she'd just whine to your parents and make them worry even more abotu you, and you'd never get them off your back.
>A quiet whimpering noise brings you back from your murderous musings however, as you finally notice your grip has painfully tightened around Vanadise's flank.
>You feel a pang of remorse before resuming the petting of your pony, softly stroking the side of her muzzle with a thumb, firm with suppressed rage.
"Excuse me, Mrs. Whorelei, but I really should get this thi-- This tiny one inside, she'll get cold."
>"Ah, don't mind me! I was just leaving, but I tell you, son, I've got my eye on you, if you need anything just let me know, you hear? 'Cause you know I--"
>>29679164
>You get up, Vanadise in your arms, then slam the porch's door closed. Patio's fenced, so you don't worry about anyone stealing your gift's belongings.
>You don't seem very preoccupied by what you did to your newly acquired "ward", as much as you're upset by possibly having fucked up the bonding procedure thanks to that fucking hag.
>You try to remedy it by keeping the pony in your arms, while filling a pigskin with hot water to heat up a pillow for the tyke to sleep next to. If it helps relax kittens and puppies, should work with bio-robots made to appease weirdos and perverts, right?
>Vanadise limits herself to observing as you walk back and forth through the house, every now and then looking to meet your gaze.
>Every time you feel her doing that, you try to put your best amicable face. You only succeed in convincing your filly that there's something you're hiding. But thanks to your nice guy act, you manage to blind youself to that.
>When you're finally done preparing a "nest", you put her down and prepare some of that "Nutritional paste" that came with the package. You really don't want this infant stage to last longer than the bare minimum.
>Bringing back a baby-bottle and a cup full with the stuff, you sit down shaking your head, cursing the day you thought you could catch a break at home from playing nice son and distracting yourself with what you thought would only be an interesting read.
>And then, your curiosity gets the best of you.
>As Vanadise is suckling her bottle, you decide to try a bit of the paste. Perhaps it'll give you a boost of energy, improve your somewhat fragile health, or at least taste nice.
>As soon as you put it in your mouth, you retch and puke violently.
>>29665186
Autism thread?
Autism thread.
>>29679182
>Great, now you have to clean the carpet of puke and a broken bottle.
>Upon watching you react to the paste, Vanadise has kicked her portion away, and seems to be mimicking your retching noises.
>Doesn't this just beat all?
"Now, now, Vanadise. You have to eat, or else you'll get sick."
>You try to stay as calm as possible while she rejects the concotion completely.
>Critical fail. You set the bowl you had in your hands aside while sighing out in frustration. You default to your permanently sad expression while thinking about what to do.
>The best logical decision would be to call Hassenfeld Co. and explaining the situation. They'll be able to do something about it. Your parents will be sad, but it's not like you haven't disappointed them before by refusing to even see the rest of the family.
>And as you mull over it, the unexpected happens.
>Vanadise, looking sad, gently boops your elbow with her nose and resumes eating, from the bowl this time.
>She's ruining the bedsheets. She's barely getting something to her stomach. She might drop the bowl off the bed at any moment by accident.
>Fucking hell. A goddamned TOY showed more sympathy for you and what you want than a bunch of self-satisfied sheeple that live in your neighborhood.
>Sighing, you force yourself to pet Vanadise. She's earned it, and you need to practice some of that positive reinforcement.
"Good girl, Vanadise. Thank you."

I'll probably either off myself or get really hard into fanfiction. Like, really hard. If people stop writing it then I'll pick up the slack, or off myself.
I could probably live without ponies, I'm not really that far gone and I doubt I ever will be, but I just don't see much of a reason to. I know that if it comes to that then I'll just end up distancing myself from everything again and kind of drifting in this emotional void.
I know I can exist like that, I've done it before. It's not living though, and while it's not the worst fate in the world it's not something I'm particularly interested in going back too. Death isn't nessarily preferable, but t's not nessarily much worse either.

I think back to the other fads I've had as a kid, specifically pokemon. I couldn't imagine as a kid what it'd be like to not obsess over them. Then gen 2 came along and by that point I completely got over it. I know very very little about that show or anything involving it over the past 15-16 years.
I keep telling myself that will be the same thing with this show. I will get over it and move on when it's over. And it upsets me to the core.
>>29679280
I'm not even sure I could live without pone.
>>29683569
I wouldn't want to.
>>29683433
I feel the same way about Pokemon. Eventually, I thought I had grown out of it by gen 3. Then again by gen 4. But I always kept coming back.
>>29683433
Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.
>>29683433
Anon, I've always liked things I like far more than a sane man. I've also always not completely forgotten or thought of as bad those things, but neglected them and didn't keep up. This show is different, Anon. I've been on this ride for years. Nothing has lasted this long. Nothing will ever surpass itbecause they can't catch up to a train that never stops
>>29684482
What things were you obsessed with? For me it was pic related. Not nearly as much as I like ponies and not as long, but pretty close.
>>29683433
I went through a stage when I though I hated MLP the fandom and had abandoned it for almost 2 years, but even as I was talking shit about the show with my friends I still knew inside that I secretly loved the shit out of it, while a lot of things in my life become boring after a while MLP still continues to keep me joyful, if MLP exist I would have died because it got me out of a deep depression that lasted for weeks.
