there is a certain irony (as you say) about the line in the OP yet self aware and dark at the same time.

It admits that /endpone/ cannot handle Equestria, That doesn´t seem to make sense at first but when you see the /go/ thread and apply it to the fandom, it gets a different meaning that appears inside the subtlety.

The names are indeed similar and the shitposting style comes directly from /mlp/ yet it doesn´t feel like you are there (like a copypasted board). Others are trying to fit a certain niche that isn´t offered in the main sites but this place doesn´t know exactly where it wants to land. It simply goes and goes without looking further than the usual day after day mindset.

Also, Seaquestria. You know that water to most people eyes doesn´t land in the most desirable place and one doesn´t even bother to check nor feels encouraged to that at first. Water is either too serene or too scary (and I commented about that last year). However, that´s the secondary meaning behind this.

The main intention with this line is that I realize and announce that /endpone/ gets hidden and stuck in a hellhole. When someone says that it´s going downhill, it doesn´t imply anything good. The deeper you go, the least satisfactory it becomes and more of a distorted hell appears. Everyone wants to end in heaven but no one wants to find relief while looking at themselves with a sight focused to the underworld, under their bodies. It puts this board in the place where it belongs.

Basically, what I am saying is that it will never get relevant, /endpone/ has been autodefined as a squad that it´s about to repeat the same mistakes other fans did in the past, so many fans trying to become relevant yet they fail miserably after all. This place in the /end/ is something irrelevant to the public whose creators have left on its own luck. A little corner and not an entire world as one would like to imagine.

/endpone/ won´t rise save in its own site but that´s like turning on a lightning in the middle of a gloomy forest.

The advantages of it however, is that acts like the party that happened yesterday or thoughts that you wouldn´t usually show over those mainstream places. Not many will judge them, you feel a weird sense of liberty for doing them.

No one will care and I suppose that finding some comfort according to your own circumstances is the actual key to move forward and feeling satisfied with what one does to himself.
