Do you ever look back and regret the amount of time you have

>>30736848
Be honest with yourself, if it wasnt ponies you would have wasted all that time on some other similar autism.

>>30736848
do you?

This. Besides the ponies are my only friends; is friendship a waste of time?

>>30736848
I've spent a little over the last 6 years of my life quite pony obsessed and I honestly wished I spent even more of my free time dwelling in my autistic pony hobby. I wish I contributed more to the fandom.

>>30736895
I know that feel. It felt like it was too late 4 years ago, then 3 years ago and then 2 years ago.

Is it too late now?

>>30736848

Not really. What I regret more is that I wasted so much of my life not practicing other skills. Thankfully, I'm young, and I've begun rectifying that.

Admittedly, much like any other leisure activity, I only do MLP for an hour or two a day at the highest level of investment.

>>30736949
No. It's never too late. The fandom will die a very slow death. Even if it's slowing (it's very, very likely not growing anymore) you have many years of ponying to do. Even if it's down to hardcore people who are still ponying 5 years after the show finished, you will have an audience. Plus who knows, the movie might give the fandom one last boost. It could certainly bring back fans.

>>30736893
I fallen asleep to the thought of being in Equestria at least once every week for over 5 years now. I really hope I get to go there when I inevitably die.

>>30736958
Honestly, I am glad most of the autistic normie bronies are gone. Only thing that I will miss are the drawfags and the writefags.

>>30736848
Kinda late to be worrying about that now, best just to enjoy the ride while it lasts

>>30736848
No.

>>30736848
Not really. I was really impressionable back then, so it was either horses or Homestuck. I like to think I made the right choice.

That and this fandom managed to push me to draw, albeit very little, and read more stories and become interested in novels again.

My only regret is that I never sat down and made one of those hip Pony ask blogs on Tumblr. I had multiple ideas but they never came to pass.

>>30736848
It was this or suicide.

>>30736848
If anything I look back upon those days with a sad nostalgia, sure it was autistic as fuck, but god damn 2010-2012 was comfy

>>30736848
I don't tend to regret things I still enjoy.

>but god damn 2010-2012 was comfy
It's weird. I was under the pony high back then so all the pony stuff that came out during those years kinda makes me wish I had appreciated it a little more. At the same time, a big reason I got into ponies back then because I went through the roughest times of my entire life. I wouldn't want those times back in my life even if it meant getting to really appreciate the fandom from the time.

I guess I should at least consider myself lucky I'm now fine and can appreciate ponies for what they really are instead of basically some kind of anti-depression drug as I used to use it.

>>30736848
nope, it has been a fun ride overall f am

>>30737155
Same here. I'm pretty sure I was just as friendless and listless as I am now, but I could cover those feelings of loneliness under a sort of pseudo-community and a steady stream of content. It was nice

>>30737155
Getting art of ponies was so fucking special back then. Now there is so much of it.

>>30736848
Drawing is never a waste if time unless its something you'd never show to anyone. An advantage I'd say there.

>>30736848
i've been writing a single story for like 30 months. if i had any regrets about it, i'd kill myself instantly

>>30737155
Going to reveal my power level here, but I used to play on a modded game server whose main focus was the show. Had some custom mods so you could play as a pony and a community-made Equestria. User count used to surpass 40 on the regular, and pretty much everyone knew everyone. It was nice, I miss it sometimes

>>30737200
yeah dude, i feel exactly the same. i rember having a whole folder of pony art in my older pc, now i have basically nothing but the episodes and a folder of reaction faces

Fuck, that's exactly how I thought about making content. "Why start now, it's already too late" even during S3. Just thinking about all that wasted time makes me sad.

But I still started doing it recently, learning new things along the way, and I'm having a blast. It's never too late.

>>30736848
Hell no. You make your choices and never look back.

Nah. 300k horsewords later, and I'm still not feeling the regret.
At least I made a few of you fuckers laugh here and there.

>>30736848
I just started this last year, but I alwayd did feel since about 4 years ago I spend way too much time on the internet, except now it's different because I usedto spend all my time being an edge lord at 20 viewing conspiracies and being a paranoia addict, now it's more... well, this, which is stupid, but funny/ Just don't think about it too much: it's like anything: no ones perfect. If you feel you're addicted just take some measures to limit your screen time. lord with.

Pone is love, pone is life. If I could spend more of my free time posting about ponies, I would. No, the only thing I regret is how slow this place has become. I regret that there isn't enough pony in my life. Even between three websites, it isn't enough. My spare time is pony. And there is never enough pony for spare time.

>>30736848
No.

>>30736949
No. In fact, with the fandom slowing down, any contributions are worth even more now.

>>30738617
Say that to the stories produced with time and effort that are passed up for quickshot smut pieces, or silly comedy diddles.

Exactly this. I was into anime for a short time, but I was always way more into ponies during that period. If I hadn't had pastel horsies, I would have gone fully off the deep end of the anime lifestyle, and I would have had Stocking for a waifu. I'm glad it didn't turn out that way, and that the plunge I took was into the vast ocean of horsey horse fever.

This, desu.
Back when the show first started, I was wasting my life doing school work because my family insisted that I'd never be able to make it into college.

After being scooped up by the least expensive college that provided classes for my line of work, I realized that all I had to look back on was 2d horses and a variety of failed antidepressants. All of my friends had either died or moved on to better things. And although I'm close with my family, they've always been ready to distance themselves from me when things aren't looking good.

The new college I'm attending is located in the middle of butt-fuck-nowhere with practically no opportunities for meaningful work. If it weren't for stupid shit like ponies and /mlp/, I don't think I'd have much of a problem with becoming an hero.

>>30736848
>not being proud of it instead
pleb

>>30738719
My situation was similar, i almost became a weeb simply because its more cool and accepted than pony even if i didn't care for anime. I realized that pony was the only thing i loved and burned all the anime merch that i fooled myself into buying.

Hell no. Pone has given me so much entertainment and has introduced me to most of my current friends. It's defined my life for the past six years and I wouldn't exchange it for a thing, mostly because I would be fundamentally different without it.

No I don't.
I still have good memories and feelings about browsing this board years ago. The fact that I'm still here shows that I really love being here.
People here are still more light hearted than most of 4chin but are as down to earth.

I have no drive in life, don't really want to socialize or have friends, don't have any worthwhile hobbies or interests and no higher aspirations either, I've been like this since I can remember; just bidding my time waiting to die.
But I'm not a depressed sack of shit that wants to kill himself, far from it, I can socialize if I must and I rather enjoy breathing and being aware and thinking about nonsense.
Why would I regret the time I spent? Time I spent enjoying, having fun with you faggots, drawing and writefagging for (You)s isn't time wasted.

I've learned useful things in Photoshop and gotten good enough with Excel that my work took notice and actually has me using that skill to make them stuff now, so I think it's actually been pretty productive for me.

Everything is canon you cuck, even EQG (unfortunately), but for EQG and probably the film, they will work things so everything is self contained, and they don't permanently alter anything regarding the main lore. It's pretty simple.
