never got into pony but, is the series and fanbase still going strong even? did it get cucked at any point?

>>233
>he can't see all the posts

>>234
it was never good

>>234
The series is, not so sure about the fanbase.

yeah, not really much point. endchan hasn't made a concerted effort to set itself apart from all the other vichan clones

>>233
OP is a fag.

Hello? is anyone here

>>266
I'm here.

>>266

By and large, no. But if there's traffic again, I *do* have a bookmark that brings me here.

Leaving the best princess here.

The night and beauty will last forever.

Wow so you made a thread in mulp and stil didn't get traffic

I would be surprised if anyone posted here or replied to me before the end of the year...

but I am celebrating it and I cannot believe we have been on this during 7 years!

Merry Christmas,my little end zombies! And Happy New Year in advance.

/)

>>272
HI ANON!

>>273
oh hi Celly,can you help to reach the 300 posts?
because I want this year to end well.

>>274
sure thing bud.
Sup'?

>>275
let's drive this into the first page of the boards.Post your favorite ponies.

Because there is going to be a party these last days here.

>>276
fav ponies you say?
Alrighty, then.

>>280
even tho they're not canon I really like those OCs

>>282
all the ones I remember atm. You might say it's weird, but I often forget some pones and when I see them again I go 'oh yea, that was mighty nice pony'.
Also from regular cast it's mostly Celestia as you might've noticed.
pls no bully

And this is 50/50 show/OC, but man, this tumblr is gold and the adventure was top tier. 10/10 would solve mysteries again

>>283
see what I'm talking about?
Missed this cutie.

>>284
everyone forgets about a little character that is special
Somnambula is the best out of the Legends,but I have to mention Meadowbrook follows her closely in 2nd place

>>285
forgot pic related of both having some fun

>>283
the best way to qualify characters is by using divisions.You can classify as the following:

-By main characters,secondary,princesses,background and one shot characters
-By seasons and arcs
-By places.Seeing X place of Equestria reminds you of some characters appearing there.

I don't know,but it is fairly easy to remember them.....except if they are background ones for a couple of scenes

>>287
nice system, but I don't know if this would help me remember, besides, it's not even like I can explain why I like those characters other than "just cause" so it's not all that important.
I always remember about Celestia though, and it's all that matters.

>>288
Celestia is alright. She should have had more episodes or development but I think her majestic serene tone and graceful figure make her so unique to admire.

She hasn't needed much material in order to shine and make us to praise the sun.

aaaand, it's time to officially begin Christmas time, so I'll be back in around 3 or so days.
Propably won't manage to snatch up that 300 GET for /flutter/ thread down below, but oh well! See you in 3 days, if not earlier, and jolly Holidays to You as well!

>>290
don't worry,getting into the 300 territory is easy,I just wanted to give a nice little gesture(one small thing) in this site,making /pone/ appear in the first page.

it doesn't seem much or improve anything but I guess this board could find its own little place for us.

Merry Christmas to you and to any lurker who is seeing this thread!

Have fun /)

>>291
Thanks!
I'm back, let's get this show up to over 300 posts.
How was your Christmas fam?

>>292
I should have seen this before
They went alright,nothing really extraordinary

I don't know how to tell it in a short post nor I can think about it really brightly for now

All I can say though,is that I have felt really comfortable during this week

>>293
and while I haven't received anything but money.I can't say a lot from there nor what I am going to do with it.

I am waiting for the movie's Bluray release and have a late Christmas present in my hands. It wouldn't be the first time I receive the things late though.

>>293
that's good to hear.
Kinda same here - slow, but comfy.

>>294
Personally I'm indifferent towards recieving money as a gift, getting something other than money sure is a nice touch, but then 95% of time I can't come up with a single good idea what to get for anyone and gifting money gives the gifted person more freedom, but yeah, it kind of screams "I've had no idea what to get, so here's some cash"

>>294
Kind of a dumb question, but anyways, Are you buying the Bluray because you've liked the movie, or because you haven't been to cinema/watched leak yet?

getting closer to 300...

It's over 9000 300!
Also, don't worry, I'm still gonna hang around if you feel like talking about whatever, or something.

>>298
I have already watched the movie earlier this month.
I want to buy it because I want something physical of this franchise in my hands.

The best way to support something you like is by using the language of money. The system works like that and companies do not understand anything else.

I like it a lot actually. It was pretty staightforward and simple but it delivered quite nicely that simplicity of your classic Disney story. I think it works MLP works better with few promises but actually making them enjoyable than promising a lot of things and ending nowhere (like a certain sci fi movie)

Besides the movie itself, I like it genuinely because of something that I was actually looking for in a long time....and you only have to see what I am posting.

>>302
> I think it works MLP works better

and as expected, my explanation got fucked with this line. Definitely not my best day to shitpost

>>301
>It's over 9000, 300!
ayyy lmao

yeah, it was not that hard to achieve. In fact, this thread is actually the longest and most active from this board. That's not saying much but /pone/ should leave a mark in this site.

The last board which takes place in the first page has 312 posts currently. I said 300 because it was a pretty good number to mark the difference but I am seeing that it won't be enough.

Anyway,the effort to reach it with someone else is much more pleasant than shitposting images for himself,sharing them with nobody else.

And that's why it feels like a small gift that will be forgotten soon but a gift nonetheless.

/)

>>234
we are alive, at least, I am here to say hi and post the best princess

>>302
>and you only have to see what I am posting
yeah, that was pretty obvious, though one can never be sure enough, amirite? eg. with all that stuff on DB posting pics doesn't require seeing the movie etc., if you get the gist

G1 fan?

>The system works like that and companies do not understand anything else.
Sad, but true. Or maybe not, and it's just companies doing what they were designed to do. Could go either way, really.

>>304
(\ whew, this time I didn't forgot to return the favor
it may well be first time in my life, actually

Kind of what you can expect from a fall-over bunker, speaking realistically. Making the final switch is always very hard, and I'm not even sure if it's at all neccessary. Of course, I might be wrong, I don't follow any of whichever chans' dramas.
Otherwise than that, sans few features here and there, there isn't much difference, so prefering one over another is just a matter of personal taste or a vendetta.
I think I don't have any preference, just like to occasionally lurk as many places that I know of the lack of % feedback when uploading things here is a minor nuisance though

Also silly or not, rage,ridicule,or whatever- inducing that it may be, I was always more of nor/mlp/erson a home is a home, after all, but, with the recent turmoil with the ads thingy, I've decided to take a little break and watch the events unfold. For the first time.


I'm seeing a board with as little as 37 posts on the top page, but there's a handful in the ~270 territory and early 300's, so we're not that far from the "top league", in a way.


And sorry for the wall of text, my posts just have the tendency to do that.

>>306
Well hello there, third guy.
Exquisite taste in princesses, I concur

>>309
one didn't need to watch the movie....but when you never know what's going to happen in the next year or with the franchise in general, I feel like it's something worth to own and say that I have lived that moment

the movie may not be the best thing that you can get from gen 4. However,it's good enough to represent an achievement of true survival from the fandom. Who thought we would get to this point?

And nope,I have never watched gen 1, though I had the desire of borrowing some elements from there. I was actually worried if thery were going to fuck it up in their designs. I can complain about a lot of things about MLP, but the designs that they pulled out there....I just can't enough,it's pure joy to my eyes

>>310
I think you may have actually noticed that I am one of those maggots that posts these images on /mlp/ as well

the 4chan ads disaster and now with the Captcha 2.0, it's going to be a mess.I am not doomposting that site but they are trying hard to make it enjoyable. At least,/mlp/ is a pretty stable board in the end and doesn't seem to suffer that much in comparison.

We are not that far from the top, in fact, we are already in the first page without noticing.

It seems you like wall texting just like me. I honestly read long posts when they are actually try to offer something but at times, I just can't make them justice.

And despite of how irrelevant looks this post progression, it's a small detail a horsefucker can do. The fandom is never going to have that initial spark but...

a couple of maggots can make a little difference. I don't know if it's going to be worthy in the end.I just want to feel good with myself that I have made something for it.

And like the CMC said,we'll make our mark.

>>312
Yeah, pretty much. Tangentially related, but anyways, It always fills me with a bit of a regret, that I've joined the fandom just at the twilight of the golden days early 2012, and because of that I can never really say that I'm an oldfag, despite there being many people who joined later on.

>I have never watched gen 1
same here

Speaking of movies, did you also see the MLP's rival, in terms of movie's premiere day?
I've really, really liked that one

>>315
>did you also see the MLP's rival, in terms of movie's premiere day?
nope, I don't know which one you are talking about exactly

>I've joined the fandom just at the twilight of the golden days early 2012
and I joined in summer 2014,isn't that too late to enjoy this?
I haven't lived the ultimate autism yet here I am trying to enjoy the things as much as possible

>>313
>I think you may have actually noticed that I am one of those maggots that posts these images on /mlp/ as well
Apologies, but sometimes I can be as observant as a brick in the wall.
Maybe it's because of me visiting the board less frequently nowadays, or maybe we're just checking in into separate threads, or see point above, that's the most propable cause, I'd say.
Also, silly me, but I always tend to overestimate what people know about me (eg. via posting patterns or general behaviour, writing style, whatever else, in irl as well) but it turns out people mostly don't care, and you try to tell yourself to chill down, and then someone indeed is able to tell all that things about you. I also like to speak about myself in second person, the absolute sillyness.
They say knowing is half the battle, but telling yourself you know thing X (that something should't happen, or should, or some vice, anything like that) doesn't seem to be very helpful.
I'm not sure if I elaborated what I mean clearly, I tend to get lost in the thought-train derails very often. So yeah, sorry in advance.

>Captcha 2.0
I didn't know about that one. They're moving away from google's captcha?

>It seems you like wall texting just like me. I honestly read long posts when they are actually try to offer something but at times, I just can't make them justice.
I know right? You try to cover all possible options, elaborate on every point, and bam, you have yourself a wall of text.
Maybe the long posts would be a better tool in my hand if I were competent in the oratory, rhetoric craftsmanship or just writing in general.

>it's a small detail a horsefucker can do.
>a couple of maggots can make a little difference.
I've always liked the fact that many of the horse people were also a tech people, and I'm quite content to be a member of both groups as well. But on the contrary, I'll never make any significant difference whatsoever. Like tears in rain indeed.

>And like the CMC said,we'll make our mark.
Provided one has enough willpower to do so. I certainly don't.
It just isn't something for me, tbh

>>317
we all try to chill down a bit with ourselves everytime our ideas want to get out in a thread but you end up with something that you didn't expect at first or just didn't have enough attention.

About the Captcha thing,they are not moving on.They seem to force that click captcha and make posts a little bit more annoying on purpose.Unless they find an alternative,it's going to hurt.

And don't underestimate yourself for not making a mark. Nobody knows anything about being relevant. Just that in the middle of the graveyard,talking in a dead site with a zombie doesn't help psychologically nor it's going to be the central point of this fandom. Just because we are touching the bottom of the sea with this ship doesn't mean everything is awful...not even close.

It makes you feel good that at least,on the inside,you know you played your part or at least,send a little bit of hope at the end of this year.

Nobody will confirm or point out that you actually marked a difference but you know you talked to a random person in a site that nobody cared. Nobody to tell you how to act nor how to pretend, just peace and a pure sense of discovery to yourself.

And a good time to tell that you are...a very chill horsefucker.

well,it's time to say goodbye to 2017

and a nice time to thank to those who have posted here, in this isolated place.
I hope you have a Happy New Year and wish that ponies bring you a smile anywhere you go and support you wherever you are.

Happy 2018 maggots!

>>319
Awwww man, you're not going to stick around after new years? I'll still be lurking nonetheless. Sorry I didn't have much time to respond in recent days, but rest assured I certainly did not forgot, I'll just answer the posts later.

Meanwhile, because I'm not that good at coming up with wishes, simply, Happy New Year, may it be be even better than 2017!

>>320
>Awwww man, you're not going to stick around after new years?
I am not a fan of promising that I am sticking with X thing for Y time. I don't like to compromise myself into anything because I don't know how I will feel like or how I will change my perspective or preferences. I would feel like a bandwagoner or a cheap liar.

I think the reason you will find myself stuck here is....everytime I post. That's enough proof to say that I am here. And yes,I am posting in 2018 because despite all the wishes and issues we will have...

the only thing that will remain is that each other(as humans) is all we've got. That was why I've said those postive messages before. Just by having a good health and the fact of being here is good enough and all we should care in the end.

That and pony material that conquers us everyday. 2018 is going to be most likely better than the last for sure.
How? I have no idea, but we should enjoy every moment out of it.

Happy new years day everypony!

Don't have much in the way of fitting music in my bookmarks folder.

>>302
Movie too me was fair enough. Not the best thing in the world, but it didn't deserve the hate that it got in some of the MSN.

>>320
This board is not dead. Even if it only gets 3 posts a year.Remember, this place is the end of the universe! It maybe slow but as long as some inane anon stops by every few months we are doing good by endchan's standards!

>>328
the best part about the end is that you never know how it will go and that it will stay there for you at anytime.

Also,we can do better than 3 posts during an entire year. Endchan has to have their own hooves and giddy up as much as their counterpart sites

>>329
Certainly would be nice to get more then 3 post per year. Especially with 8chans owners. Hopefully the site will be able to stay on its own hooves, along with this board.

BUT LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE: WE ARE AREADY PAST 3 POSTS!

>>330
>Especially with 8chans owners. Hopefully the site will be able to stay on its own hooves, along with this board.

8channers have to fight in order to stay relevant. Save for /pol/ and /v/,they don't have much support out there to hold the rhythm. Besides, /pone/ always struggles to get into top 25.

But yeah,more than 3 posts and first page placement. The end always deserves its own hooves.

Alraight, time to make up some of the backlog.

>>316
I was talking about the sequel to the cult classic, that being the Blade Runner 2049.
I really enjoyed the original, so I went to see this movie to see if they "fucked it up" as is usually with Hollywood's re-boots, but they actually did a great job imo, and the movie is on par with the original.

>isn't that too late to enjoy this?
Certainly isn't, as was the case in 2010, 2012, 2017 or any other year, but the feeling of regret remains (even though discovering MLP is something one does not have direct influence over). In my case it's doubled, or tripled even because I've discovered MLP in 2012, that's one dawn of an era, but missed out of my sheer stupidity opportunity to be part of /mlp/ until little before Faust came visit /mlp/, that's dawn of second era.
Everywhere I join, it seems like the golden days are already in the past.

Present is always least interesting of the times. Past and future are more interesting.

>>330
>Especially with 8chans owners
But this board doesn't have any owner at the moment?
Besides, I don't know how it's "better". Maybe if by that you mean protection from some freak who would just claim the board and ban everyone on sight, then yeah, I'll give you that, but other than that I'm not seeing the advantage.

>WE ARE AREADY PAST 3 POSTS!
AND WE'VE ALREADY SEXTUPLED THE YEARLY PLAN
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

>mfw I´ve got to reply to 4 posts
>mfw I cannot choose the escape option

ufff, sweet mother of Celestia, help me to make reasonable posts. Anyway...

>>333
>Blade Runner 2049
I have not watched it. However, I have watched the original (1982) for the first time and yes, I can see why it´s so praised and made mainstream the cyberpunk scene.

Glad to see that you have liked the 2049´s one. What matters in the end, it´s not only the enjoyment but the fact that they have revived something that our generations should think more about.

>Everywhere I join, it seems like the golden days are already in the past.

People are always stupid in this aspect. Not everything that was in the past was better than these days. Nostalgia and past rewinds really overpraise their glories when in fact, not everything from there was as enjoyed or appreciated until much later. See Blade Runner now and back in 1982. Or any musical movement.

The early days may be gold but because of free autistic actions, freedom of headcanons and a lot of possibilities to take on the frachise´s direction. That´s soemthing called enthropy, the energy is there at first but it slowly turns into chaos....

and "chaos" is the new balance that nobody wants to stay, because of boredom or lack of fresh things onto their lives.
MLP has been normalized and the fad ended long time ago. It no longer offers as much money as before or hype/illusions because it´s nothing new for any of us. That energy could spark once...twice if lucky

>>333
forgot to check those delicious trips by the way

>>334
>I'm not underestimating myself, I specifically don't want to make a mark.
yet you will make one. Not because I say so but because accidentally, you will have made it without noticing at all

>You know the gondola thingy? To always observe, never experience? Yeah, that's my kind of thing, I really would wish I could be 100% like that
how to disappear completely the post. I like being an spectator too and not being pointed out in the society. However, that´s impossible,not being pointed is one thing but another is basically watching. The fact that you are watching, changes the course and so, you are participating in this universe.

>It always feels like we're minutes till midnight when it comes to hitting the bottom

that´s the modern life I guess. It never feels like the downward spiral ends and we always end up choking ourselves in random thoughts that costs us our sanity, in a deep grey area where we find a fake comfort.
However, whenever you have reached the bottom, you will feel awful but at the same time, it relieves and brings you hope that you will no longer feel worse than that.

>It's crazy how this online disinhibition thingy is real and gets the best/worst I'm not the one to judge out of me. Who knew only on random anonymous pony imageboards can I drop the mask and speak honestly.
Or is it just another "making yourself" creation of my mind? I can't tell, I'm not able to tell, it's all (meta-)*meta, which is nice, but sometimes can be tiring.

You create a certain character by being so meta with your personalities: both with the mask and without it.
And no, no one has to be nice because of being nice. One thing is having ethics and manners that innocents shouldn´t pay for your problems; and the other one is being honest to youself for what you are (including being an actual motherfucker or extreme person).

Lying to yourself is the worst possible thing you can do. The moment you realize that and discover the perfect balance to carry on your life,then you can define the amsks and all you want.

And yes, the irony is surreal. The best and the worst posted in an imageboard about pastel ponies. I´ve seen weirder thigs though, but it doesn´t deny that maturity cannot come from the most autistic places by judging its cover.
Social media logic these days is absolutely disgusting, yet everyone seems to like that. Hey, who am I to say what should be normal or not?

>>335
>Or that's just what I like to imagine and it's not actually true. Oh the irony.

You don´t do that because nobody is watching. When it´s a face to face in which nobody could benefit for a better image than the other, that´s when someone actually uses common sense for the most part.

>I'm picking posting as my #1 priority. I'm weird and fucked up human being.

Shitposting is addicting. You are a random person that will have no image yet, you post what you like. Anti social media. The reasons behind it are similar to social media but the purposes and objectives differ a lot.

It´s freedom of thought and a certain "freedom" of consequence. Enjoy it while it lasts because putting your hate or personal desperations without nobody giving a fuck in the end, but actually listening to them...
well, this reason (and many others) made /b/ popular and charming with their feel threads.That says a lot and you are basically experiencing what /b/tards posted (back in the 2000s) behind the jokes and funny random threads.

>>339
>But this board doesn't have any owner at the moment?
I meant the 8ch posters of /pone/, not this end/pone/. And I don´t know who the owner of this site is. I have no desire that they fuck from day to night everything that becomes commercial or popular.

Maybe the owner of this site is a freak but who cares for now. Imageboards are not that hard to create but actually being profitable to someone. I would like to think that the Discord runs this site.

>AND WE'VE ALREADY SEXTUPLED THE YEARLY PLAN
next bus stop: 400 posts. All aboard the train, ladies!

>>332
Opps! I was referencing the ownership of 8chan as a whole, not just pone. While I'm not one who believes 8chan is being run by CIA lizzard people or anything like that. I just find the post hotwheels ownership a little fishy.

Should have worded that better.

>>349
>the biggest activity from this board since the 8chan merge

well,what a way to start 2018

>>341
>Not everything that was in the past was better than these days
Yeah. Romanticising about ye olde times is all lovely until your internet slows down to sub-56k speeds. Even though, I still like to do it. Even though I know it's not always true nor reasonable.
Think something like "memory of a event you never lived". A form of escapism, I guess.

>That energy could spark once...twice if lucky
Tis' a real shame, but also a blessing.
The thought that there will never be something like that again can be bitter, but also makes it all more worthwile, and sweet. Bittersweet. Now, that's my groove.

>>343
>yet you will make one. Not because I say so but because accidentally, you will have made it without noticing at all
Alas. And propably it wonn't be a good kind of mark too.
Of course, one could say, if I'm so inclined to not making a difference in this world, then why the fuck am I posting here, and it just shows how much of a big hypocrite I am, but that goes without saying, obviously.

>Lying to yourself is the worst possible thing you can do.
I find it quite hard to do so, since no matter how hard would I try to hide the truth, that 'I' bastard always knows! It's like he's inside of my head or some shit!
Or maybe I'm just missing the point, in which case, another hypocrisy point for me. And maybe some ridicule points too.
But anyways, they say knowing is half the battle, but I don't think that it is. So what I am aware of certain facts, be it about myself or anything else, if it doesn't change things a bit.

>Social media logic these days is absolutely disgusting, yet everyone seems to like that.
I have to agree. Sometimes it feels like we're just the old grandpas yelling at kids to get off the lawn (or like the ultra-born-in-wrong-generation-hipsters, it depends), being without facebook and all the other crap, but actually it makes it more funny to picture it like that. A bit of distance to self certainly doesn't hurt.

>>344

Feels cathartic man.
Still, I shouldn't make an anonymous imageboard, about ponies at that, my personal psychology consuelling. That ought to be a thing I should deal with myself, internally. You know what they say about "blogging", after all.
And typing this very words in the point above just makes it all wonderfully metaironic.

>You don´t do that because nobody is watching.
I guess. I'd say that I'm watching, and all that, but then again just a mere post above I was talking how I'm unable to lie to myself. Cornered myself again. Oh well.

>>383
>A form of escapism, I guess.
definitely what many fans love about this
>Bittersweet
wait until gen 4 ends. That´s going to be a trainwreck for entire ride and its passengers.
Enjoy it as much as you can. Sometimes it hurts to see that some are not capable to have fun. Probably because they are tired but still, we do not appreciate what we have at the moment. Many nostalgic threads in halfchan will appear in 2019.

2013 all over again.

>>349
>>345
Shit, with that post tempo we will have to stop celebrating smaller post milestones soon!

>>386
>And propably it won't be a good kind of mark too.
You will never know. It just depends on your actions.

>just shows how much of a big hypocrite I am, but that goes without saying, obviously.

everyone is a hypocrite. Humans are hypocrites by themselves, just that many don´t know how to use it properly and even feel proud of using it badly. I hate egocentrism more than hypocrisy. Just like hate, it´s something that we all have to consider daily and assume.

>they say knowing is half the battle, but I don't think that it is. So what I am aware of certain facts, be it about myself or anything else, if it doesn't change things a bit.

as long as you know what you are doing and consciously aware of the consequences about what you want...it´s fine in the end. Now, if that involves problems, get prepared to face them. Just saying. When you know how to play your own cards, you´ll advance much more than you might think.

>>389
get ready for the >>400 m8

Top 10 without noticing. WOW

>>387
>Feels cathartic man
indeed

>Still, I shouldn't make an anonymous imageboard, about ponies at that, my personal psychology consuelling.
Nobody forces you to do that but hey, there´s always THAT time in which we laugh at ourselves for doing it.
>You know what they say about "blogging"
it´s shit, not because of the blog and experience itself but because it usually goes with the intentions of being an attention whore

>this very words in the point above just makes it all wonderfully metaironic.
isn´t all chan culture like that? I think we are surrounded with everything that was supposed to be ironic. Yet, it flows somehow, even with your personal metairony

>then again just a mere post above I was talking how I'm unable to lie to myself.
the 180 twist of your message. In a very short time, you have exposed the lies with self awareness in a very grey territory to put them into side A or side B.

There´s nothing to fear.

>>388
>2013 all over again.
Hooo boy. Although I was just a 100%-in-the-shadows lurker back then.

I don't know what else to add here, so just have this quasi-related green that I enjoy.

>we're just the old grandpas yelling at kids to get off the lawn (or like the ultra-born-in-wrong-generation-hipsters, it depends)
>being without facebook and all the other crap, but actually it makes it more funny to picture it like that. A bit of distance to self certainly doesn't hurt.

I deleted my Twitter account like in 2016 and I literally made one post in it back in 2013. Never used it again.
The insanity that goes through the mindset of receiving likes and feeling like the center of the world...
Call me grandpa or whatever but I don´t feel comfortable with that dynamic. I let them to post their shit and being stalked first, but I don´t want to know about their lives.

Also, the wrong generation doesn´t exist. Just because loud retards scream nostalgically about the past achievements doesn´t mean you can enjoy them directly. What is lost though, are the manners and lack of overexposure for retards.

I swear I´ve seen shitposters to act with more common sense than Facebook comments. That´s a problem and really funny at the same time.

>>396
that poster should have seen a certain episode of 2017 because that fic feels related to something out of it.

I should have witnessed 2013, I should have seen the priceless reactions of Twilicorn and EQG on live.

>Now, if that involves problems, get prepared to face them. Just saying. When you know how to play your own cards, you´ll advance much more than you might think.
I'm in a state which could be best described as standing in the middle of the road at night, watching the truck headlights approach, and just standing there, doing nothing to dodge.
Worked everytime so far, even though I always told myself it won't. Now I just don't know. I still tell myself it won't work, but subconsciously want it to succeed again. But then I'm consciously relying on it to work, so it won't. And so on and so forth, ad infinitum. Circular reasoning ftw.
Even though I like to think of myself as unlucky person, I'm probably one of the luckiest bastards alive. But nothing lasts forever, and so won't this luck. But then the circular reasoning like in point above kicks in. Funny fun times ensue.

>I hate egocentrism more than hypocrisy
whoops, judging by the amount of 'I's in my posts I should watch out. But in my defence English and my conversational style, apparently is just soooo designed to stick a pronoun almost everywere, it isn't so notorious in other langauges imo, at least in whole one of them that I know fluently.

>>392
There is something magical and melancholic in visiting some obscure old pony chans from 2011-2014, many already dead and dysfunctional.
I guess this chan can be crossed out of the list now.
just kidding. Endchan is pretty new, so it wasn't on the "list" (sometime it will be though, who can tell). But >muh joke

>>399
the I doesn´t bother me. It´s normal for me too and english actually forces you to use it.

I hate egocentrism when it´s taken as a very obnoxious thing for attention whoring (such as: "this week I am depressed, I want to commit suicide lolz").

This hate comes mostly from social media patterns of teenagers who don´t know shit than actual people being bothered by their own problems for real and actually want to feel better about them.

I actually complained about that here >>397.

Isn't it kinda human nature as well?
You know, don't get me wrong, I try to avoid this doing this kind of shit like fire, but then, you see for yourself.. shit happens. No self-control whatsoever. I'm sorry

>isn´t all chan culture like that? I think we are surrounded with everything that was supposed to be ironic. Yet, it flows somehow, even with your personal metairony
Yes, and I love every single fucking bit of it.

oh no, I better refrain myself from commenting on that, because I can already hear footsteps of my old freind circular-reasoning! Quick, better to turn to satire, glad it's always there, redy to save the day!

We can be grandpas together. The extents people give away their privacy just for a tiny bit of convenience and/or security is kinda frightening. What happened to the times when people were extensively warned about not revealing your identity online and the importance of separation of concerns, and being wary of online activities in general?
I remember being told this over and over as a kid, at every suitable opportunity, but it wasn't obnoxious or obtrusive, anything but that, it was quite benign and helpful. I bet they don't tell kids those things these days.

Even though I'm partially a living meme of "nothing to hide, nothing to fear" (the nothing to hide part, because of being pretty boring person), but the fact that even though I have nothing to hide I still can hide it, and not being a see-through man like people on social media maybe not so much the case on anonymous boards, since I open up so much lol, is what i cherish and hold dear.

>>410
it's actually frightening that privacy these days in non existant. Kids will realize someday that the information they are posting carelessly will hurt their image or future aspects. Or even play with that info against their own character.

I've got nothing to hide either because....what do I have to offer to this world?Cheap philosophy?Disinformation and post truths?My personal room?
That's nothing new nor interesting to see t b h. My life is as boring as Applejack's one (and even then,she has more adventures than me every now and then)
I prefer talking about my tastes or certain topics than putting my info in front of everybody so easily.

I have no fear of anything because ponies,music and sometimes games, have placed me in a balanced way of expressing myself but staying on topic that my personal experiences feel secondary or a bonus,not the focus. Nobody can put me into a dangerous situation just for that unless I turn into a political activist 24/7.

Even if kids or even adults were warned about the dangers of social media,not many would actually pay attention until the consequences happen. I am glad I didn't jump into the social media hype because I would end up being a very different person than what I am today. I wouldn't be so self aware here or conscious if I only looked for the likes,subscribers or fake friends.

This is an old grandpa, who fits into the average age for watching MLP (in a poll of 2012)

>>402
>I actually complained about that here >>397.
I'm reading the posts in this thread semi-sequentially, and You're just way faster at responding that I am at composing the replies. Sorry!

>I hate egocentrism when it´s taken as a very obnoxious thing for attention whoring (such as: "this week I am depressed, I want to commit suicide lolz").
I also hate those people. Seriously, fuck them.
But also, all the same, suicide should be legal, in a sense, people should not be so bigoted with the predominant theese days "must live at all costs" ideology.
Like, seriously. It would disarm those little teenage extortionists (they wouldn't do it anyway, and if they do - well, no harm done, yet people give a fuck way too much, and irrationally blame each other "if X didn't Y, Z wouldn't kill himself!". As if.)
Also, there is always a big deal with coming clean with one's beliefs (aka. avoiding hypocrisy), yet things get horribly overlooked here, in this department.
For example, living with terminal disease (extreme poverty, general dissatisfaction with life, simply no will to live, any reason is valid, really), you have to because, nooo don't kill yourself because we say so. Alternatives? Don't look at us, we're not going to help, just tell you to not kill yourself and enjoy the wonders of life although I have to give dues to the last part, because of its sheer cynicalness. Because remember - you have freedom! aparently not
Suicide is called the easy way out not without a reason, and there's literally nothing wrong with taking this option.

Hoo boy, did I got a bit mad writing that, as you can tell. This is like the only topic that really grinds my gears. Sorry for losing my calm, and being generally so edgy

>>412
>all the same, suicide should be legal, in a sense, people should not be so bigoted with the predominant theese days "must live at all costs" ideology.
each to their own. Nobody knows when someone actually commits suicide. It shouldn´t be taboo and sometimes, the reasons behind it transmit a lot of message to us, but people...
>Suicide is called the easy way out not without a reason, and there's literally nothing wrong with taking this option.
does this, sadly.

I don´t know what to add on this topic. You have pretty much sum up all the desolations and misjudgements behind it.

>Also, there is always a big deal with coming clean with one's beliefs (aka. avoiding hypocrisy), yet things get horribly overlooked here, in this department.

Shitposting usually comes with a character and a superficial mask as a defense force. That´s usual when things are pretty revolted or uncomfortable.
Now, when someone actually comes with clean beliefs or serious opinion about X subject, I hold myself before responding anything that would come from a clown.
I guess, irony is the cool tool to use. Easy and for all the family.

Definitely overlooked t b h but, who puts the patterns to behave anyway?

Yeah It is scary. Especially as it becomes normalized. Laws and standards starting to be crafted with that as the norm. Too many things tied up in the cloud.

Another thing: people, especially the youth, are increasingly becoming what they post. It has been both interesting and sad to wacth much of family over the last
few years go from being people with various interests become reduced to just regurgitating the lastest fad or oppinion on social media. It can be almost funny in a way too sometimes. Seeing someone constantly switch from being paleo to being vegan and back again.

I guess this could be described as just a high scool teenager complex of sorts, one that certainly a lot of people will grow out of. But I feel that doesn't quite cover the full picture. Anycase, I am certainly part of the grandaddy club.

>>414
>Shitposting usually comes with a character and a superficial mask as a defense force.
In the line about coming clean with one's beliefs I was mainly talking about those "anti-suicide" people and the couple of hypocrisy problems that can arise from that stance, but me figures it also works in lines of what You just said.

>I hold myself before responding anything that would come from a clown
Same goes for real life for me also. I've once made or of course somebody already made such thing and I've just never came across; these damn Greeks really though of everything! a little something that sums it up neatly "If I were to talk only about things I'm an expert about, I would never speak at all".
So I usually don't speak, because of fear of being wrong, mostly, but then when I speak up I mostly trip over some mistake, big or small, and end up in the wrong. Irony in the fullest.
>I guess, irony is the cool tool to use. Easy and for all the family.
Not only that, but also it's good to keep one in check and remind him to be humble. It is indeed a wonderful literary and life device.


Only one small reply today, because of bit time shortage, but rest assured I'll get to the rest later!

>>419
>So I usually don't speak, because of fear of being wrong, mostly, but then when I speak up I mostly trip over some mistake, big or small, and end up in the wrong. Irony in the fullest.

I know that feel. Whenever someone who has stayed with the mouth shut and then suddenly speaks,the world seems to get somewhat altered and magically you end up being in the wrong most of the times.
There's nothing to fear although it's completely acceptable that you prevent the situation of speaking something and letting it go. About 90% of our lives is about not telling anything to the wrong people because it's more than likely than obnoxious results happen.

>>411
>Kids will realize someday that the information they are posting carelessly will hurt their image or future aspects. Or even play with that info against their own character.
The gracefully named "The right to be forgotten", and it's becoming more and more extinct as time goes on, alas.
This, plus separation of identities gives so much freedom, to experiment, or just do whatever, and makes for truly unique experience, but few seem to recognise it nowadays.

>My life is as boring as Applejack's one (and even then,she has more adventures than me every now and then)
This, so much this. I could conjecture that I have some interests, but the moment a person with real interest/hobby in something shows up, it's plainly obvious how the conjecture is false.

>I have no fear of anything because ponies,music and sometimes games, have placed me in a balanced way of expressing myself but staying on topic that my personal experiences feel secondary or a bonus,not the focus. Nobody can put me into a dangerous situation just for that unless I turn into a political activist 24/7.
Feels weird to write "This" under every paragraph, but, same here, I don't have any friends so that means I don't have any secrets to keep, and also because of no friends I get into no occurrences that would make me any enemies, and keeping my mouth shut most of the time instead of yapping about >muh opinions all the time also helps.

Maybe exposing me as someone who likes ponies could grant me some weird looks and some little troubles lol, but then the few whole 1 people who know have no incentive to do so whatsoever.
So yeah, pretty boring slow life in this department, but I wouldn't want it any other way.

>Even if kids or even adults were warned about the dangers of social media,not many would actually pay attention until the consequences happen.
And here, separation of identities and/or the right to be forgotten is precisely the key.
Doing something stupid under pseudonym is going to bring a lot less trouble, and one still can learn from it. It actually happened all the time, back in the days.
But now people seem to have forgotten.

>I would end up being a very different person than what I am today
I sometimes wonder how would I end up if I didn't find out about MLP. And every time I'm not quite able to answer, because of how for the past almost 6 years ponies were huge, if not the biggest, part of my life, and my personality is heavily influenced by that fact.

>>413
>I really don't mind you venting if you ever need too anon. I would be willing to listen. I wish you the best and God bless
Thanks, I appreciate that. And the willngnes and wishes is reciprocal, naturally.
About venting I kinda dislike that word, dunno why, maybe because of all its connotations, I really shouldn't, yet almost all of this conversation is basically me doing it and saying I shouldn't. Oops, did it again. Not a strong man myself, as you propably can tell.

By the way, have a nice semi-related quote I once found on chans and felt insurmountable urge to shoehorn into this post:
"Strong men make for good times.
Good times make for weak men.
Weak men make for tough times.
Tough times make for strong men."
Can You guess what times I was born in?

>>417
>people, especially the youth, are increasingly becoming what they post
I can tell you for once, that I sure have weird tendency to soak up traits of writing/conversation style of people that I talk with for extended periods of time. Sometimes just small quirks, but sometimes as much as even whole sentence structure and word order, or punctuation. I don't know if this is bad, or good. not having a one concrete writing style myself propably also contributes
Recency effect at its finest.

>people, especially the youth, are increasingly becoming what they post
>people with various interests become reduced to just regurgitating the lastest fad or oppinion on social media
And it's all tied with the disappearance of pseudonymity and anonymity. People are all about "selling yourself" to the public, basically a PR. And so, they are watched. Every action sticks to their name. So posting what will please the crowd is the surest way to kill two birds with one stone: "sell oneself", aka make oneself appear in the good light from the standpoint of those who participate, not me, naturally, and get noticed by a bigger group, making this all more effective.
I'm very glad I managed to not get involved in all that at all.
Chans, especially the slower or smaller ones provide much greater straightforwardness, and I'd wager such threads as this (threads! not DMs or anything like that, open threads! Everybody can read what we have posted here, without any of us ever knowing about it, and while it may be categorised as some form of exhibitionism although I'm not saying all this because of it serving a role of enjoyment or fulfilment, so maybe not quite exhibitionism, but everybody is free to think whatever they want, and that's the whole point, I think it also conveys a message) rarely happen on the so called social media.

Also, the cocooning. Although I'm also part of the problem in this case.

>>414
>Definitely overlooked t b h but, who puts the patterns to behave anyway?
Also, I'm not quite sure what you mean. Could You elaborate?

>>426
what I consider overlooked is the fact that one isn't clean or sincere for what it actually is. They always find the need to find a mask or somewhere to hide in order to play as a character.

There's no need or obligation to be clean because people are either too scared to reveal their actual opinions or too selfpretentious so they invent their own lies in order to fit in the group.

I asked who would have the right to say how we were supposed to behave or not. I guess,one is free to do what they will but as expected, not many people use that liberty well. In a postmodern era, everyone plays a character and we stick with it for the show.

What show am I talking about? The show of identity that everyone can watch and play with that information. Everyone knows and we desire to be known. If you are a clean person, others will find you in order to make you dirty just to fit in the show we all play in. Everyone just pretends and goes on and on in an endless spiral of mindless thoughts or unimportant drama.

When one comes as a clean person is when you get tired of everything or just don't want to roleplay there. Sincerity only comes in a private understanding and I guess, that's the new punk movement: finding ourselves.

>>427
however, in contrast to my last post,maybe I am being too pessimistic. It's just that I might be influenced by hearing bad and distorted news all the time and I am just overlooking the good ones.

Giving the character perspective a twist,maybe it's not all that bad after all. There have been cases in which playing a character has made people to find a purpose and a reason to keep going. How? Here is a pretty good example:MLP and the fandom.

Yes, I am using this one because I found it surprising and completely unexpected. No one in their sane minds thought that this show would actually influence thousands of lives. From the next clown and by playing the characters of sarcasm and irony, it went to an unironical ride that would define us. From a joke and a laughable lie to an experience we don't regret to join.

After so many ironies,shitposts, a laughing stock from everbody(the entire internet even),over time people have considered MLP a reason to live and an inspiration to follow their next chapter of their own lives and thanked this show for its sweet innocence.
And because of that irony,some are trying to find our true selves because death was considered or depressing eras had happened before that would mark us for what we should think about.

There are other examples and millions of people have been saved by playing a character or by using their cards well. I didn't show the other side of the coin and I believe that I needed to give a message of hope at some point.

>>425
>And it's all tied with the disappearance of pseudonymity and anonymity. People are all about "selling yourself" to the public, basically a PR.

This is a much better way to word it. People are basically concerned with trying to fit in all the time now for social survival. Granted, it's not always to such a degree, and not all social circles in social media have a dynamic like that, but most I usually see have it. Even if just a little. Verious people I've talked to seem to just agonize over little things now, tinyest grammer details and whatnot, fearfull of looking bad to somebody.

It ia espicially sad to see them drop a part of themselves to fit in.

>I can tell you for once, that I sure have weird tendency to soak up traits of writing/conversation style of people that I talk with for extended periods of time.

I've noticed that to an extend in myself too.

>Chans, especially the slower or smaller ones provide much greater straightforwardness, and I'd wager such threads as this rarely happen on the so called social media.

This. I know some chans can develop circle jerks over things that prevent honest discussion, but on social media its always ten times worse and can be accompanied with a risk of actual social repercussions IRL. and I suppose sometimes worse

>>427
>When one comes as a clean person is when you get tired of everything or just don't want to roleplay there. Sincerity only comes in a private understanding and I guess, that's the new punk movement: finding ourselves.

That is a really good way to look at the mainstream right now. One giant role play. (If I understood that correctly)

>>428
>however, in contrast to my last post,maybe I am being too pessimistic. It's just that I might be influenced by hearing bad and distorted news all the time and I am just overlooking the good ones.

Perhaps partly, but I think there is a lot of truth to it myself. Only thing I would say not too hold that truth as an absolute one. I often notice people, espicially nowadays, will hold simple explications to complex questions. It's certainly easy to do that when there is a lot of truth to it.

TLTR: basically it is mostly true, but don't be shocked to find violations to that rule sometimes.

>>429
>Only thing I would say not too hold that truth as an absolute one. I often notice people, espicially nowadays, will hold simple explications to complex questions. It's certainly easy to do that when there is a lot of truth to it.
the posmodernism effect. Not that I am saying that movement or next step is the correct or wrong one to take. However, who can define the absloute truth?
The only sign of advance as a species is by not sticking to just one thing and learn as much as you can from any story,moral or experience that you can take.
I guess people are just too used to responding to existential questions, political stuff or quantum physics...
those have in common that they are too difficult to handle,but as we are used to seeing that everyday, many go the easy way because those topics become numb at some point and are hardly new to everyone,yet no one can give you the absolute X value that would solve all problems magically. A close response,yes. The absolute best? Definitely not.

>TLTR: basically it is mostly true, but don't be shocked to find violations to that rule sometimes.
"mostly true".Even science has violations to their own laws or principles because nature doesn't hold a 100% perfection or order,even in the most perfect of the possible conditions.

I can't be shocked (and I shouldn't) because exceptions to the rule...always exist.

>>433
>I can't be shocked (and I shouldn't) because exceptions to the rule...always exist.

I think I came off as talking down to you a little bit. Sorry I was running on 2 hours sleep.I'm not doing much better now either Could have worded it a little better.

Another thing too. I'v dealt with a lot of people who have very simplistic views on things a lot lately. Not just simple politics either sometimes very strange things (you eat green beans? why do you like the unabomber?) But I guess that's what you get in the current environment. I agree with you certainly exceptions to the rule always exist.

I would say more stuff, but I'm kinda sleepy and have been trying to figure out have to word things better. Uh... have a squee. squee

>>427
>I guess,one is free to do what they will but as expected, not many people use that liberty well.
Well to be honest, all the dependencies and externalities kind of get in the way, and all the obligations and expectations that follow.
So it's not always because of the urge to shoehorn oneself into the group, at least.

I can't really think of anything else constructive or insightful to add here.
And only one short post today, because holy fuck did I stay up late, it's almost morning here.

>>436
>can't really think of anything else constructive or insightful to add here.
it's hard to keep this rhythm consecutively. The last three replies or so I have made, I was like: "what in Equestria should I say now?" They went naturally, I guess.

>And only one short post today, because holy fuck did I stay up late, it's almost morning here.

ouch,that hurts. No need to stay that long m8. You should have watched the sunrise before sleeping as a prize for staying that long (really comfy if you are lucky to see it calmly and with a good ambient) and then, making Z in the bed.

>>436
My sleep has been very random lately. Espicially hard when you have to get up and try to get on with your day.

>>437
>it's hard to keep this rhythm consecutively. The last three replies or so I have made, I was like: "what in Equestria should I say now?" They went naturally, I guess.

Yeah, get that. We are having a pretty indepth conversation that brushs a bit on many topics At one point I was like 'do I really want to bring a philosophical discussion of time after already going over the ethics of sucide? Still fun to have conversations go to random places.

>>438
>At one point I was like 'do I really want to bring a philosophical discussion of time after already going over the ethics of sucide?

It was bound to happen. It would have happened because of many reasons:
-the famous kill yourself from halfchan
-the social media approach on it (this one was the focus)
-social status
-personal experiences about feeling shitty

and the most ironic reason:
-the show
We would have covered this topic by talking about No Second Prances, partially with the movie and our beloved mascotDolores (in a psychological approach).

And there's nothing wrong to talk so frequently about it,even though it could be frustrating to overcome all of this over and over when there are nicer things out there to shitpost.

>>428
>I might be influenced by hearing bad and distorted news all the time and I am just overlooking the good ones
I guess that's still better than me, because I don't follow news at all.

>There have been cases in which playing a character has made people to find a purpose and a reason to keep going
or also "you wear a mask for so long, you forget who you were beneath it", which can serve as a prime example of "fake it till you make it".

>No one in their sane minds thought that this show would actually influence thousands of lives
Yeah. I know I did thought so. When first encountering the show, I consciously objected against falling into it, like, there's no way I'm going to like such thing. And then it happened. And I'm glad it did.
If someone were to ask me to enumerate reasons I like ponies for, I legitimately wouldn't be able to name one. I just like them. Don't know why, and why it is like that, but I guess that also applies to liking things in general.

>I didn't show the other side of the coin and I believe that I needed to give a message of hope at some point.
Yikes. I often find myself not understanding why people complain just about everything, but at the same time I didn't display any other behaviour here, and even got pretty whiny when the topic hit close. I guess that's another thing to add to my hypocrisy list.

>>429
>agonize over little things now, tinyest grammer details and whatnot
*tinies grammar :^) sorry fam
Of course, granted, I'm not agonizing or antagonizing You over this, I'm not without a guilt here, I also do make mistakes and misspellings, so does anybody else, just thought it lends itself quite nicely to the joke.
>fearfull of looking bad to somebody.
I actually am like that quite often, sadly. Like I said couple posts above, with the reluctance to speak unless 120% sure about what I'm about to say.

>I often notice people, espicially nowadays, will hold simple explications to complex questions. It's certainly easy to do that when there is a lot of truth to it.
I'd say that sometimes it's a kind of a coping mechanism, especially easy to incorporate because of that last sentence in quote.

Also, people who often make some mistakes in text write without the use of autocorrect, and the "clean sheets" make extensive use of it, not always, but usually it's like that >inb4 I'm damage controlling. Eh.

I'm fine either way, honestly. I'd be more glad though if the banners were in 3:1 aspect ratio, preserving the traditional way chan banners are (300x100), though it's also not a hard necessity, there's not much harm in putting something dimensioned else, just a quirk of mine.

>if my days stop being so chaotic
I totally get what you're saying.
Although in my case, it's totally my fault for things being the way they are

>Sometimes talking with random strangers gives you a new perspective on something
Yeah, that's one thing extensive conversations in my head won't give me. Though it's nice to always come to conclusion in unison with the opponent because he's also part of your personality and the opposing viewpoint isn't truly different perspective
Silly tangentially-related uncalled for trivia from my life also, people always told me to play chess against myself to train, because I didn't had anybody to play against, but I've never been able to do so.
Maybe it's because of weak well or something, I don't know.

>>433
>Even science has violations to their own laws or principles because nature doesn't hold a 100% perfection or order,even in the most perfect of the possible conditions.
The way I perceive it it's more of a "you cannot grasp it's true form" kind of thingy.
Like, all the "laws of nature" and the nature descriptions we've come up with, are just conclusions from theoretical models which agree with empirical evidence the best.
When new evidence surfaces, that contradicts current model predictions we either refine it, so it can describe and predict all the events it could plus the newly found evidence, or just make up a new closest description of reality that matches the data best.

Take for instance, the Aristotelian idea of motion was based on empirical observations, an could describe why things happen, but it did not lend itself to extension, and contrary evidence was found, thus people found a better model of description of reality.
Same with Newtonian mechanics and Galileo transform, etc. etc.
Also the fact that both of those are still taught in schools isn't because "omfg teachers are lying to students". It's because under certain assumptions and restrictions those models still describe reality well, it's just that their domain of things they can describe accurately got shrunken down.

Thus, coming back on track after this quite large digression, it may well be that we will never be able to find 100% on spot model that makes perfect predictions, it's also conjectured such model can't exist. Because, the question if nature hold 100% perfection of order, is of course unanswered.

>However, who can define the absloute truth?
I'd wager that nobody can, since there is no such thing. All our knowledge of universe stems from the axioms, which can propably as close to absolute truth as we can ever get.
The Münchhausen trilemma describes this very neatly.

Epistemology and ontology are my favourite branches of philosophy, but even still my immerssion in the topics is pretty shallow and entry level.

>>444

I actually was trying to work on normal 300x100 banners Though my arts skill are lacking Funny enough, it wasn't even my intention for those to be banners. I just wanted ta make something for the board. Just 5 minutes in Gimp to see if I could make a meme or something that would be native to here.

No timetables on when any will be done though :{.

>Silly tangentially-related uncalled for trivia from my life also, people always told me to play chess against myself to train, because I didn't had anybody to play against, but I've never been able to do so.

I used to always play against the computer when I was younger. Not sure how good I ever got at it (rarely beat it), or how strong the engine was. That could be something to look into. If you ever find the time that is.

>If someone were to ask me to enumerate reasons I like ponies for, I legitimately wouldn't be able to name one. I just like them. Don't know why, and why it is like that, but I guess that also applies to liking things in general.
I guess that's the case for me too.
However, at the start of the last year, I thought about some deep topics of my life and reasons to enjoy it despite that I felt that the globe could perfectly disappoint me and feel hopeless about humanity in general (politics, constant lies...)

I counted the reasons why I should be living and...if you discount my family, close friends, the studies and a certain hobby of mine, watching the movie was at my 4th or 5th preference for staying alive and keep going. It seems like an autistic joke or something but when you are empty and down in certain periods, you only think about what you have close to you.

I thought:"Damn, I cannot die and stop here. I have to witness history and see the movie, let the death topics for another day"and I couldn't believe I got to that point and see it with my actual eyes. The hardest

>>447
>Also the fact that both of those are still taught in schools isn't because "omfg teachers are lying to students". It's because under certain assumptions and restrictions those models still describe reality well, it's just that their domain of things they can describe accurately got shrunken down.

Agreed. The practicality taken out of those models feels relevant and even if there were better models, they would hardly reach that simplicity so well. I don't feel lied, just a limited view in which I get completely why its accesibility apeals so much for introducing the world of physics.
>Epistemology and ontology are my favourite branches of philosophy, but even still my immerssion in the topics is pretty shallow and entry level.
If it weren't because of the science branches and the job market (chemistry in particular),I would have picked philosophy. I think it's the one that offers you an open mind for everything you can learn and think about endlessly.

Learning in an uninterested way is a very marvellous gesture that everybody should apply more often(including me). The only (modified) truth that we know is our history, the actions we commit and the thoughts we decide to apply daily in our lives.

The more you know, less happiness (they said), but also more freedom of thought and liberty.

>>442
>If someone were to ask me to enumerate reasons I like ponies for, I legitimately wouldn't be able to name one. I just like them. Don't know why, and why it is like that, but I guess that also applies to liking things in general.

That may count for me too. I haven't been able to give a satisfactory answer, even to myself. I guess I could name reasons why I stayed around (the fandom), or why I like
an certain episode, but as to what the inital spark that actually got me to watch My Little Pony, a show that I would never ever thought in my life would've given a chance to actually like it, is something I cannot properly articulate. I even found the artstyle kind of creepy the first time around, but it grew on me.

Get that fully. When you are in moments of darkness anything of the few things that do make you happy stand out and shine brighter.

Thankfully, someone gets it and doesn't response like I have autism or mental illness.
When you find yourself into a downward spiral or into a constant circle of indifference, you only think what you have described. Weirder reasons have kept people alive.

Andrew WK has appeared today and he found that music was the reason to stay alive for him. Not sure if he's playing as his character as usual or telling a big truth, but being there and discovering your own relief that you personally enjoy, it's a treasure.

Sometimes,you don't need much material in order to be happy or in peace with yourself.

>>455
>Thankfully, someone gets it and doesn't response like I have autism or mental illness.

I suppose you could say that a lot of people who don't know what it's like to be that low don't get it, and that is certainly some of it, but I've seen people who even had low points and expressed similar things turn around and act like others are weird for a fandom/hobby being one of the things that drives ya to live. I've had both down times and times of just plain apathy and isolation where only a few things actually made me smile. I think far more people have had stuff like that then they like to admit especially those of us who are native to various chans/fandoms. I guess it is just groupthink and trying not to look bad around peers.

>Sometimes,you don't need much material in order to be happy or in peace with yourself.
Exactly. No different then the country folk that I know whose main happines is from hunting or fishing.

Fashbacks of destroy build destory and CN real. Wow I haven't thought of that dude in awhile. Never really watched his show or Cartoon Network much but I do remember it. Brings me to another era.

quite possibly the chans deny it because of the image it could give to others. Nobody wants to admit yet,we are here. I think if I were to put /mlp/ as a character,it would be a tsundere one. Dirty and renegades on the surface, depressed and emotional on the inside. I understand why it plays with that dynamic.

>Fashbacks of destroy build destory and CN real. Wow I haven't thought of that dude in awhile. Never really watched his show or Cartoon Network much but I do remember it. Brings me to another era.
I only listened to him back in 2010 with a Pes game and it was the obvious party song. After joining the ride, I couldn't believe that Get Ready to Die was actually the hymn for the cup and that he was actually remembered around here. He's still giving lessons with a passion and I feel happy that he's still around.

>>458
Godspeed you anon, there is a big difference between 8 and the end. I think those images should show them because the merge is unlikely to happen. We would need more than a bridge to connect them.

>there's an enclave of horsefuckers on endchan
>they're even more pathetic than the faggots from ponychan and true /pone/
You people are just down right pitiful.

>>463
Also a heads up, the reason nobody likes endchan is because its hosted by Drybones. The same faggot that screwed over the multiple gamergate boards (And the Infinity upgrade along with Josh/null) and is a known gay fury with literal connections to the shitposters responsible for the /intl/ raids of the past. So dont expect anyone to ever really come here, splitting the board will only cause things to become slower than it already is, i should know I've seen multiple attempts of boards splitting apart and moving here and they always fail. If it weren't for 76chan dying, endchan would've died a long time ago and considering multiple faggots from this site tried to actively shill on 8chan for years, no ones ever going to migrate to this shithole. Its only a matter of time until /sp/ moves again, 4chon recently went back along with most users from 555chan.

>>464
no one said that this board would get more traffic. The only purpose is to leave /pone/ in the first page of this site. It was at the 2nd one before this month boost and we are leaving it in a decent place (top 20 or 25)
No one is asking for migrating or anything,yet you came here for two shitposts.

>>462
>quite possibly the chans deny it because of the image it could give to others. Nobody wants to admit yet,we are here.

Both to each other and outsiders of the fandom in general I suppose. I is annoying sometimes to me when it prevents us from being frank, but I understand why that mentality would develop. We are already considered strange and autistic enough.

>I only listened to him back in 2010 with a Pes game and it was the obvious party song.

Me too. Glad him still kicking.

>Godspeed you anon, there is a big difference between 8 and the end. I think those images should show them because the merge is unlikely to happen.

That's what I was thinking with the banners. I've been trying to emphasize things relating to the end, or what little injokes we have Dolores This place is its own and it should have its own banners. Lots of IRL stuff comming up, but I wil try my best ta get them out.

>>464
>So dont expect anyone to ever really come here, splitting the board will only cause things to become slower than it already is, i should know I've seen multiple attempts of boards splitting apart and moving here and they always fail

We are not trying ta split /pone/. Just spruce this place up a little and give it some life. Token pony force here and what not. Maybe this place will become something maybe not.In fact, I'm not even from 8 /pone/! so that's one less anon posting here doesn't even effect the traffic over there This is only a group of 4 to 5 anons at best. Doesn't even make since to post here and try to start drama. It would only HELP US get higher on the board and in post count.

And now I've made myself a >15 posts backlog. Phew, this is propably going to look weird and kinda stale, to reply so far back the conversation, but let's go.

>You should have watched the sunrise before sleeping as a prize for staying that long
It was around 1h30min until sunrise when I went to sleep, and I wouldn't see anything in the middle of a city anyways.
Come to think of it, I've actually never in my life seen a sunrise irl, at least not any that I can recall right now.

>>438
>My sleep has been very random lately.
For me it's actually quite the contrary. Although there's a teensy tiny detail that's off about it. My sleep pattern is shifted about 5 timezones to the West. But otherwise, it's pretty darn regular.

>Espicially hard when you have to get up and try to get on with your day.
Huh, I guess what they say about benefits of regular sleep do is true, after all. For me, the grogginess wears off after around half an hour, even in the case of getting only around 4h of sleep.
The time shift invariance is and added bonus, I guess.
The constant abuse of sleep system of my body only backfired twice in my life total.

>At one point I was like 'do I really want to bring a philosophical discussion of time after already going over the ethics of sucide?
Couldn't hurt ;^)

>Still fun to have conversations go to random places.
Agreed. This may sound strange like every other thing I say, lol but actually most of my "oratory", so to speak, skills and art of expression/conversation came from chans. Seems like practise does make perfect, or maybe not perfect, far from that, but an improvement is an improvement after all.

>>441
>We would have covered this topic by talking about No Second Prances
Yeah, although when people discuss episodes I'm mostly sitting quiet. I don't know if it's unusual, but I guess you can call me fan of the fandom, because I've watched every episode once, with little exceptions, and it also doesn't help that I've seem to have a goldfish-like memory when it comes to episodes. I mean, I do remember the general plots of some, not all, obviously and such, but I couldn't discuss an episode for life if I weren't straight off from watching it.
Maybe it's the reason I'm also enjoying latest seasons of pony, because when people talk about Season 1 vide, I simply don't remember how that episodes felt.

>>448
>I also often type words like how I pronounce them instead of how there spelled. ta > to, stuff like that
It's a bane of every non-native English speaker, methinks. Sorry if I assumed wrong
The prime example for me would be "medicore" instead of the correct "mediocre". But there were lots and lots of times where I transposed the letters around. Or, "huh, there's an extra letter there? Who knew!" moments (eg. "perceive" not "percieve" like I thought for a long time).
Same comes with getting pronounciation totally wrong on words I only knew from text.

A little piece of trivia also, people who are slow readers are not suprisingly, better at catching those kinds of mistakes (transposition, omission of single letter etc.). Faster readers just interpolate what seems to be the correct version.
The realisation that strikes during reading for the first time a text with some minor purposeful mistakes introduced for the sake of point, as the text goes to reveal its hoax is quite a peculiar one

>Funny enough, it wasn't even my intention for those to be banners
Mwahahah, the biggest plot twist!
I should also propably make some banners, but
>Though my arts skill are lacking
applies to me as well.

>I used to always play against the computer when I was younger. Not sure how good I ever got at it (rarely beat it), or how strong the engine was. That could be something to look into.
Last time I've played chess was around 3.5 years ago, when I've last had contact with somebody who was actually interested in playing with me, and I could count my games played sice then on fingers of one hand, in fact, I think I don't need the hand to do the counting at all. So I'm not sure if I'd be a worthy opponent for You.
>If you ever find the time that is.
This one is tricky. I'm always saying that I'll be busy doing X or Y, because that's what I'm supposed to do, but still end up wasting time doing nothing and finishing the work on last minute.
Maybe it's best to summarise it like so: I have plenty of time, but I've wasted it all, and I don't even remember on what or how

>>470
>Not much history can come up from here in less than 500 posts,yet it's funny to think that the almighty Dolores Umbridge, while not the being the most likeable around the fandom, has surpassed the limits of a word filter that could trigger part of the Harry Potter fanbase. That's an accident if anything, her name being as equally infamous as that character.

We already have a meme! Its crazy to think how that worked out. Truely meme magic was at work with that one.

>So here is something at least
Indeed. We now have so many of them that I've removed the 8chan ones, not like there was much of them here to begin with (3) anyways.

I'm tempted to say, don't worry fam, anything goes, but I'm afraid of being tried and proved wrong (you know that Irony lady, and how she likes to act), so You'll have to resort to my incredibly low art taste/standards, which means that practically anything goes, anyway.
I hope you don't mind.

I was specifically referring how we are looked at from the outside and some of us trying to push such talk down do to it looking bad for the fandom as a whole. Still agree with you though.

My sleep patterns the last couple of years or so have been way off. An LOL random mix of anywhere from 2 hours to even a heathy 7 or 8. Just in an odd living and working situation right now I remember when I was a teenager durring summer break I would have go to sleep at 5 and wake up at noon, if that's what ya mean by being 5 swifted timezones to the west.If I understood you correctly that is

The types of people you can meet in chans range from brilliant masterminds to insnae conspiracy theorist. Top it all off anonymity that gives you a bravery to be willing to speak ta someone without as much fear of messing up and enough stand offishness even for those of us who are exteremly shy/anti social, doesn't suprise me one bit anybody from here getting there social/conversational and or debating skills from a chan.

>It's funny how some people will still freak out at people with so called "unheathy interests" yet can't een handle an hour without logging into twitter or facebook.
Makes one wonder what addiction really is, since humans exhibit so many traits of "addictive" behaviour yet what is "good" and what is "bad" is picked so arbitrarily, especially when the "good" side taken to extreme is as much destructive as the "bad" one at the same level of notoriety.
(Reading lots of books is good, but suddenly using computer, even for similar reasons is bad, and it's addiction. Being social and talkative is good, but when it's not irl or via social media it's suddenly creepy internet addiction, etc.)
or you can just say that's an addict's mental gymnastics done to basically say "I don't have a problem, mkay?"

>>486
>I remember when I was a teenager durring summer break I would have go to sleep at 5 and wake up at noon, if that's what ya mean by being 5 swifted timezones to the west.
Precisely this.
Although even if I have to get up at an earlier hour I still stay up to 3 or 4AM.
It's funny how university slowly shifted my go-to-sleep-hours from concrete solid clockwork 11PM to 3-5AM. the ability to make a timetable for yourself rocks
[spoiler]also, just this once recently I've slept until 5PM, it's my personal record,
had a pretty weird and interesting dream then though, and I never have dreams when I sleep. Well, like 2 or 3 dreams in two years happen, but it's essentially equal with "never having dreams"[/spoiler]

>Just wanted to say, don't give up so easily as I did, although dunno if an advice from me is worth a dime.

Yes it is. Things always are going to look worse when your in the darkest part of the tunnel, before you get out to the other side. I saw my entire social circle collapse before my very eyes as my friends all randomly turned on each other while at the same time nurmous people I knew from various walks of life being struck by random tragedy. I've been there.

>I'm tempted to say, don't worry fam, anything goes, but I'm afraid of being tried and proved wrong (you know that Irony lady, and how she likes to act)

Never say never is what I always say. I've seen some pretty awkward situations where someone declared anythng goes rules or something similar only for them to discover that there is indeed a boundary that probably should exist. Perfectly acceptable. Besides, for all I know I could create the some of the worst art to ever exist. Need to have a lttle quality control, even if it is extremly lax.

I've seen far worse things than that. /i/ actually had a thread that lasted for 2 years or so and it got the bump limit because it was the oldezt thread in the board. Stale or shitposting like /b/....that's a choice is left to everybody.

Yeah, it is nice ta be able to post Dolores and post season 6 content without having an argument on your hooves. Muh season 1/2/4 were better. Go back to plebit! This image has the word brony in it, we are horsefuckers!, ect Though I will say this isn't as bad as it was in season 6, it still creeps up in a lot of places.

>It's a bane of every non-native English speaker, methinks. Sorry if I assumed wrong

I'm actually from the southern US. lived in verious parts around the south all my life. I don't have much of an accent, but much of the pronunciations and local lexicon I do have. And weirdly has actually gotten worse as I've aged Oddball colloquialisms and off pronunciations have a habit of creeping in to my writing. To vs Ta, the same difference, fixin' ect

I still can relate to much of what you said funny enough. There are words that I had a hard time with in the past (and still to this day) from having only seen them in text.

>>494
>about 20% cooler?I expect more bridges.

20% maybe to high of a level to achieve, let's aim for 5% and see how it goes.

>>496
>Yeah, it is nice ta be able to post Dolores and post season 6 content without having an argument on your hooves.
The constant shitposting/spam all over the catalog really hurt her. Also,count her seemingly rushed reformation back in 2015. She felt like out of place or the so called poochie for a while.
>Muh season 1/2/4 were better. Go back to plebit! This image has the word brony in it, we are horsefuckers!
I will say that season 2 and season 4 are actually pretty good (in fact,the latter is my favorite). Season 1 however, I don't get the praise from the board. It's decent and has like 6 or 7 top tier episodes but the first half, feels awkward to watch.
>rect Though I will say this isn't as bad as it was in season 6, it still creeps up in a lot of places. Not to say that all their criticism is unwarrented, or that their isn't people who are just as militarists for the other side Right anons showed up at the right time to bring a little life here.

If we are talking about Dolores and her reception,since last summer her fame has been stabilized. You can discuss her with certain freedom and the hype surrounding her is gone.The school and the movie are the hot things at the moment . She's not the latest thing to shit on and it's impossible to treat her that badly after a couple of years.

It has basically happened to her what Twilicorn,EQG,the castle,Sunset and now, Dolores Umbridge; the phase of being fresh and put in front of everybody. Now,nature has given her own place....and not a bad one exactly. The possibility to enjoy her is something that the golden era cannot show up.

So yeah,we are going to have some cool bridges around here.

>>503
>I never did fully hate her but I could understand those that did when it did seem she took the spotight a little at times. Still, not liking Dolores is one thing, but the level that it got was not worth the supposed transgressions. Glad that's calmed down.
I personally liked her after No Second Prances and during season 7 she has shone a lot. However, it wasn't until the huge rage and raids from /mlp/ that she received constantly.After that, her image hurt a lot and I emphasized her because it seemed unfair to me.
I gave support to those who liked her genuinely and there were a couple of images that I liked. Nothing too crazy. Now,with the Dolores filter, I cannot do anything but posting her all the time and realizing how she represents something fresh. She's a grower in the end.

>The few things primarily being little background in jokes by the animators and references to pop culture that were much more subtle and not intended for the net savy older youth audience that it would later have.
That was something magical which rarely happens to any franchise. I understand why some love it with a passion and had an unique experience but I don't rate it as highly as others because some episodes fall short in comparison or were overhyped because of its fresh aspect.

I won't deny its impact (like gen 1 in pkmn) and the effort behind. As you said, it's fun and cute,there was immersion into it. I agree completely that it shouldn't be considered the golden standard which to me fits between seasons 2,4 or 7. 1 is just the beggining of a hell of a ride,but it's not the best part that it's able to offer.

The entertainment after season 1....a pure rollercoaster, a very unforgettable one

>>504
>Now,with the Dolores filter, I cannot do anything but posting her all the time and realizing how she represents something fresh

Yeah. Now I love Dolores in a whole new way because of the filter. Again I say, meme magic at work

>I understand why some love it with a passion and had an unique experience but I don't rate it as highly as others because some episodes fall short in comparison or were overhyped because of its fresh aspect.

It was certainly more the experience around the show then the show itself at that time. It was well made espically for the standards of flash animation of the time. It just happened to be noticed by the right people to turn into a meme. Though it's mythology and lore wasn't the deepest, there was enough thought put into it to have things to speculate on. This and little things like Derpy were the wood that turned a spark into a fire.


>The entertainment after season 1....a pure rollercoaster, a very unforgettable one.

Pure rollercoaster indeed. Never thought I would unironicly enjoy the show. Even when I started to lurk around fandom sites and what not. or having it show up in fever dreams... Sick at the moment, perhaps will post details later

>>505

Everything was just a joke at the time, nobody took it seriously yet at the same time, it kind of went into a real thing that developed into a huge thing.

Seaponies for example, I didn't realize that they were a fucking joke in the comments section based on a cheap pun. From a little appeareance in gen 1, they were looked as ironically relevant over time and here we are, BAM. Context, lore and reasons behind them with an artistic design. Now,that's a change. I have been living in a lie, I thought people wanted them but I see that the context was a shoo be doo ironic meme until actual praise came during last year. I feel kind of ripped off yet,glad of witnessing a greater revival than the original 80s content.

Derpy, almost the same case as Dolores in this board. A visual mistake in her eyes because of the animators being cheap on the background ponies. After memeing so much and making lots of jokes and pictures of her, she has become the mascot of the series. They have taken care of her context, several appeareances and a lively character brought mutually by the fans and the staff.

i hate to recommend and shill EqD but the top 10 of today,makes you realize how much we have advanced. It's a must see just to appreciate all we have now

Bat ponies, background ones, the stars in Apple Family Reunion, overhyping Trixie (from an overrated one trick pony to a perfect friend for Dolores) and the overhype of Gilda....the list goes on

Sure there have been a lot of mistakes but this generation has turned every little joke,reference or meme into something real and meaningful. The efforts, creative works and passion behind it's just worth to study.

I suppose there has been times when thy may hav done too much fanservice, or didn't do cool stuff because it wouldn't go with fans headcanons, but the fact that they even interacted, heck even reacted to us at all amazes me still. Not just that our fanworks and hype have birthed characters and plotlines, but even the first references to 4chan memes and nerdom that appeared all the way back in season 2. We shouldn't have gotten such from the heartless corporate money machine on a small lesser network. The fact that the crew behide the show started to acknowledge was big enough, not to mention that Hasbro didn't smite them from such activies or us in general right in the early days. Now I suppose Hasbro saw an opportunity with having a teen/20 something alternative sub culture/fanbase, but Hasbro in all sanity should have treated us worse then they did. From clop to overly violate fan animations freely available online they should have stayed miles away from us. It's something that would seem like PR 101 for a company like that, least bare the wrath of the right wing christians groups and soccer moms and later on, SJWs. We would've been lucky if we just we ignored.

Now I suppose some would scream hasdrone at me for saying this. I'm not saying that Hasbro has been perfect or even very good in their treatme of us and I recognize that there primary goal is still to make money. But, man have we been lucky. Certainly worth the study.

>it's weird but me too. Accidents happen but that accident well,was just something we didn't look for yet,we've stuck with it so far. Hope that it doesn't get removed.

I hope not either. If this board ever gets compromised I suppose we could go to some other random dead ponyboard and start up shope there. Or if one of us has the time, set one up somewhere.

It's a good summery. I understand the reluctance to post such things amoung these parts. EqD is understandably controversial. A variety of criticisms could be leveled agaisnt them, some underserved and some certainly deserved.Especially as they have gone much more squeaky clean and "advertiser friendly" from their old 4chan roots, creating distrust among these parts. I don't think it's shrilling to suggest an artical with revelvent info. besides I am probably considered a religious moralfag and cuck by most chan standards anyway. I'm worse : |

>>473
>Yeah, although when people discuss episodes I'm mostly sitting quiet. I don't know if it's unusual, but I guess you can call me fan of the fandom,

Sounds like me in the first year or so of being into pony. I only started trying to keep track of the show itself to btter understand the fanworks. With all the fanworks that exist its very easy to just be involved with that. I seen plenty of others who are like that. Heck, If my memory serves me right, I think one of the first fanfics authors I read that I actually got me interested in ponies was like that, though I don't remember which.

Yet they did. Most companies don't do that but as you said, they saw those little silly things into something profitable while making something worth with them and the writers having a blast with it. Larson especially, he shitted on everything while he has been laughing at the fandom and himself. Greedy? Like everything is. Is it possible to have fun while playing the jewish card? Surprisingly yes,though 90% we all get blinded by money above everything.

>The fact that the crew behide the show started to acknowledge was big enough, not to mention that Hasbro didn't smite them from such activies or us in general right in the early days.

It's counterproductive to pretend they don't exist in the end, shooting yourself in the foot. You have a porn autistic fame yet, you don't deny it because they are tool to make money. Have they wanted to get rid of that fame? Yes. but they got used to it and have caught a dynamic that certainly works. Those autists that looked like an awful thing are the same ones who would pay for a movie and receive 52/53 millions for granted, some of them paid several times. This is why I want the BluRay, the product that I like after so much free content out there and joyful entertainment

>Now I suppose some would scream hasdrone at me for saying this. I'm not saying that Hasbro has been perfect or even very good in their treatme of us and I recognize that there primary goal is still to make money. But, man have we been lucky. Certainly worth the study.

Shill is certainly meaningless at this point. All the people who talk about MLP are shills in reality, even if someone is trolling/hating and isn't a fan , it's an indirect source of money and publicity. Shill would mean now by loving it blindly and when you have a critic eye that this isn't perfect (Flawless from Fame and Misfortune basically show it) means that you are not one.

I still recall Hasbro's reluctance in the early years. Their first interactions with us was like tipping there toes into water, feeling the tempiture. They did get used to the fandom and certainly took advantage of us better then many companies could have. Remember in the 1990s when many of the first fanwebsites were CoD? I don't see hasbro going that far with a simple fansite, but corperations can react pretty stupidly to something new and unknown.

I wasn't there when it happened but I am imagining it as a weird picture in which none of both sides connect match that well. And that's the advantage, a mutual advantage for the most part.

This was supposed to end in 2013. The money that has come and gone during these years of fan addition has been astounding in comparison to any other generation. From 65 episodes to the road of 200. That seems a pretty damn fine deal.

(2/2)
and I am glad that they didn't use that tactic. EqD,Derpi and the chans already do that and there's no need to use it.

>Daybreaker picture
this is what we get after desiring a Celestia episode for so much time and memeing Twilight's anger in Feeling Pinkie Keen. The Ponyta comparisons from back then really fall short these days.

I ain't sure if it's the first, but one of the earlist acknowledgements I can recall was a hub promo all the way back in 2011. It's a pardody of one of Katty Parry's songs. They made an extented version and sent it directly to EqD themselves. It even mentioned the word "brony".

https://youtube.com/watch?v=pTPqjKk_xCo [Embed]
Here it is posted on EqD's YT channel

https://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/05/extended-equestria-girls.html
Here is the link to the old EqD article on it, they were a far different animal back then.

Now, granted I am barelly awake right now and still sick and I only was in partial, not admiting it to myself orbit of the fandom, so there maybe something huge that I am forgetting. Then again, you may have seen this already, making this post pointless

Back when Equestria Girls didn't mean what we are already used to hear. It feels weird. I guess,that was pure joy to notice the fandom so carelessly and even admitting it loudly with a celebration.

>Here is the link to the old EqD article on it, they were a far different animal back then.
8 years seem like nothing for a grandpa but in the internet era when eveything happens so fast, the fandom are not the new born children. There was excitement, a huge bandwagon, hype for very different reasons and something new to explore out of nothing. However, that also brought a lot of harsh and destructive moments, lots of traitions over time, death threats and huge disappointment out of nowhere. The maturity was lacking and the enthropic years showed it. Not even EqD has resisted to the changes.

>Now, granted I am barelly awake right now and still sick and I only was in partial, not admiting it to myself orbit of the fandom, so there maybe something huge that I am forgetting. Then again, you may have seen this already, making this post pointless
I haven't watched it before your post. It's still nice to check where this fandom came from and what the purposes and illusions were back then.
And here we are, building something out of nothing but with a pretty different perspective. Everyone changes,history does not, that video shows the first magical

>>530
>Back when Equestria Girls didn't mean what we are already used to hear.

I can remember when the fandom got the first word of Euestria Girls being trade marked. A human spinoff? Naw that's can't be true. Then leaks early on of Twicorn. People were a little skeptical of the former but outright laughed at the latter. Then again, I am not in the best shape at the moment, so I could be forgetting details

>8 years seem like nothing for a grandpa but in the internet era when eveything happens so fast, the fandom are not the new born children.

Man things were different back then. I can still remember when things were scattered. The fandom was scattered. The boorus, /mlp/ fimfiction.net had all not been formed. Fanfictions stored on everything from google docs to fanfiction.net. Art was scattered from 4chan to Deviantart (with the long gone fimchan being a hangout among the "cool kid" artist). Equestria Daily tried to be tamer but still clearly was in the orbit of the chans at this time. The internet moves fast, enire sub groups of the fandom have come and gone durring this time. heck entire fandoms have come and gone durring the time of our existence

I would have go on but don't feel the best at the moment. Stay well my fellow anon. Maybe in a few days I'll have some banners posted

No need to remember it that much because we all know those events lead the fandom into the huge drama of 2013.

>The internet moves fast, enire sub groups of the fandom have come and gone durring this time. heck entire fandoms have come and gone durring the time of our existence
The pillars of the fandom are EqD, Derpi, /mlp/ and FimFiction. The other chans (Ponychan,8ch, /mlpol/,Hispa and this one),reddit and a couple of forums just give support. Things are very located these days. It got scattered because of the ponies ban back in 2011. You had to be crazy about ponies in order to create so many sites about them.

Also,the trends during these years. SU,FNAF, Undertale,Splatoon,Star vs,Zootopia...so many things have come and go and even an overhyped meme like Undertale has decreased a lot in the course of two years. We are seeing new things slowing down or dying in front of our eyes with the ride pushing at the same pace as 2016. We are not done yet.

My personal theory on that is because the MLP fandom was fully centered on the "hip" tumblr crowd or the Youtube kids. While most of those other fandoms are usually one, if not both of those groups to some extend espically in the case of Undertale. Sure, always has been some people in these groups who got involved with MLP, but MLP was first and foremost a product of chan culture that had more ties to a pre social media internet paradigm. Our entire fandom is not just centered on the social media feeds of thousands of various things screaming for attention, we have our own websites and gathering places, etc Not to mention having a presence in a lot more off the wall non mainstream places Not being based entirely on social media gave us an edge, as their is a larger group people who stuck with it past it's time in the limelight. Plus, culture wise we are a bit diffirent from those fandoms. It gave us a degree of cultural immunization, as to get fully invested in this fandom often means joining a community off from the main social media sites. Even the most reddit level MLP sites are influenced by chan culture to an extent

Perhaps I'm over thinking it.

It's hard for me to tell between those who are exclusive to Youtube,Tumblr or inclusive to both. Undertale definitely had its fanbase from Tumblr and it shows its dependance on the site. The sudden downfall pretty much explains their organization in the internet.

That's undeniable. Everything began in /co/ and /b/. After that, it got expansive and the chan culture basically took all the protagonism in that explosion. The derivative sites or fans always admit on the inside where they are from. Like FiM is a toy commercial, the fandom soul comes from an imageboard site.

You've basically described it. Social media in reality are an addition. The heart of this fandom comes from random anonymous users that cannot post this on their Facebook profiles but want to share it somewhere else and express their emotions about the franchise. An immune way of posting your personal wet dreams and headcanons or related stories without consequences of looking like a weirdo in the real life.

>>556
>It's hard for me to tell between those who are exclusive to Youtube,Tumblr or inclusive to both. Undertale definitely had its fanbase from Tumblr and it shows its dependance on the site. The sudden downfall pretty much explains their organization in the internet.

Yeah it can be hard to tell. I've always had an odd fanslation with keeping track of the various other fandoms and trends. Not something I devote too much time towards, but I do try to keep track of what fadoms emarged from where. This kind of started when I noticed a bit cultural divide when looking at those in the pone fandom in social media from much if the other fandoms we were interacting with on places such as tumblr and youtube. I know kind of stupid.

As I've said most of the other fandoms that became big were comprised of two types of people: kids/youth on youtube and the tumblr types. With something like FNAF
being an example of something that became a meme among the huge let's players with large amounts younger veiwers, most of the major meme games that become super hints are this to an extent. On the otherside you have fandoms like Star vs and Steaven Universe. These are fandoms that primarily sprend though tumblr Even if they have large presences elsewhere that is where the heart and soul of their fandom is in the same way that we are clearly from the chans. Undertale was a sad example of both YT and tumblr. First spreading amomg all the major let's payers like wildfire. Then Tumblr fell in love with such things as a cannon lesbian ship and the game having a genderless protagonist, which they of course took to mean that as LGBTQAI non-binary whatever other lables they've come up with yet they still draw frisk as a hot 13 girl. So they kept the meme alive the longest.

>>569
>I've always had an odd fanslation with keeping track of the various other fandoms and trends. Not something I devote too much time towards, but I do try to keep track of what fadoms emarged from where.
Well, the internet is basically composed by the meme culture out of those fandoms. I personally sed to keep an eye about the Sonic fanbase around 2013, the PKMN one (especially the period of 2013-15) and SU in 2016. I mostly spend the time because I want to keep it a little bit more active and it´s the one I have invested the most time. I guess the ride has caught me until it decides to stop.

>As I've said most of the other fandoms that became big were comprised of two types of people: kids/youth on youtube and the tumblr types.

When Game Theory used to give the story and context for FNAF... aww, how times change. Also, the "paticular" videos of kids singing FNAF....that was priceless. Jumpscares have lost their meaning though but damn, they consumed the franchise like no tomorrow.

>Then Tumblr fell in love with such things as a cannon lesbian ship and the game having a genderless protagonist, which they of course took to mean that as LGBTQAI non-binary whatever other lables they've come up with yet they still draw frisk as a hot 13 girl.

The problem with the LGBTQAI content is not what represent, it´s that it could feel dated after a certain period. I know there is excitement out of it and feel progressive but there is a caducity date for them. There has to be more reasons behind it from story perspective or your hype will dissolve like sugar in the water.
Tumblr has basically their universal social justice tone of the things.They have some defined preferences but not open enough to share them properly with Reddit or /co/. That philosophy may explain why they haven´t lasted longer.

Both cases (Kids and tumblr type) have marked this decade. Now, let´s see how their legacy will be defined. It´s always an interesting thing to see. How you look backwards to the old things and what you honestly feel about them after the period of hype.

>The problem with the LGBTQAI content is not what represent, it´s that it could feel dated after a certain period. I know there is excitement out of it and feel progressive but there is a caducity date for them

Exactly. Not to say a good bit of the things that they have liked didn't have any greater depth to them, but often the greatest reason why things exploded was out of said works scoring points being progressive. Their taste can also be vary shallow and navie perceptions of what counts as progressive/good for whatever cause their shrilling for at the moment in the first place. Glorified tokenism and shrilling that they often like in heavy dosages will easily look dated in a generation or so reguardless if things are right, left or centerist leaning at that time

>Both cases (Kids and tumblr type) have marked this decade. Now, let´s see how their legacy will be defined. It´s always an interesting thing to see. How you look backwards to the old things and what you honestly feel about them after the period of hype.

Will trends set here last or die (if not soething inbetween). Both YT and tumblr have had a pretty big impact, but there isn't near as much that you could say is iconic to them and has had an infulence in the same way as chan culture. Youtube is more a reflection of mass media and culture rather then leaving it's own mark on it at this point. Tumblr, as you say, doesn't have as well defined taste and memes having a harder time escaping out from their. Not to say that Tumblr and YT don't have some good things or unique art at times, but their cultures are based far more off imitation and consumption then innovation and creation. It will be interesting to see how it all ages.

It goes way beyond the point of politics. I know they want to force and shoehorn them into being progressive. The main problem is the excessive hype out of them as you said. Who will remember SU for having a lesbian couple? Me probably because I've seen the overyhype in /co/ and mentioned a lot but another who has no idea about SU, will most likely remember it because of the characters or the songs. It can serve as a shilling point at the time, but at a long term, try it again and see yourself failing at attracting anyone.

>Youtube is more a reflection of mass media and culture rather then leaving it's own mark. It will be interesting to see how it ages
It's basically an instant product that only Celestia (or our goddess Umbridge) will know how it will reflect over time. Only a couple of memes like He Man will be reproduced over the years. I will dare to say that 4chan has a longer period because of its constant repetition and culture surrounding them. The others are just...there for a while. The content that will be remembered over time is usually the most unexpected one that wasn't meant to be one. A good example of it: "An A press is an A press, you can't say
it's only a half." "But first,we need to talk about parallel universes".

The parodies and popular explosion from it was overwhelming to watch....but that's cheating because /v/ helped.

I consider it a possibity. This has already gone against the odds by having regular post anyhow.

It depends. Very well life could get in the way for one of us. We also could get burned out if we try putting to much effort into it. I think if we just try to come by and post every once in awhile and just talk about whatever with some minor memeing on the side we at least stand a chance.

Hopefully in a few days I'll be able to post some banners and whatnot. Grandfather had sugery and I have some other family members in the hosbitel. Through he is doing better and I hope I'll be able to get something up mid next week Hang in there!

eeyup. The first time I saw this board during last March or so it had like 100 posts or so and I was like:"Oh yeah,a pony board exists in this page like 8ch.Good luck on that".

9 months later: "Hey,I could shitpost here without caring the images I have" because I had no thread fitting to post them. The irony is surreal.

>well life could get in the way for one of us. We also could get burned out if we try putting to much effort into it
I prefer not to think about that. Mostly because while we are actually thinking about it,the path is moving forward. Just think that we are heroes here.... just for one day

And it was because of that choice that led to me and at least one other anon I think, when I look back at the conversation who would have otherwise just briefly passed through. One thing led to another and before you know it, we have our Dolores Umbridge !

>I prefer not to think about that. Mostly because while we are actually thinking about it,the path is moving forward.

Me neither. To be honest though, as long as somepony else is here I'll try ta be posting.

Yeah, certainly get that feeling with grandparents, or anyone older for that matter. Nearly lost a older friend of the family this year to the flu. I wish you the best and if you ever need to vent anything I'm open ears

Well, I have some banners done, but I want to wait till I get'em all finished before I post them whenever that will be . So have this abomination I made with a cheap digitizer that was an unwanted christmas gift a friend gave to me! It keeps on giving! granted I probably could've done a bit better if I had more free time to mess around with it, but oh well.

My main objective is to post the images I want to collect from Derpi. I basically post them here and keep a certain topic between them.

That's fucked up and it would be pretty hard to admit that somebody could die from an ordinary flu but I guess some defenses are not always as powerful as the average ones.

I can wait perfectly,just give one or two posts and I can do something about it. Free time always comes despite not seeing the light during the routine. Everything arrives.

Also,even without any post,look at the board. It's really easy to spot it now. From page 2 to the mid front. I guess one small thing can really make a difference and it certainly does.

The flu is bad in the States (among other countries) this year. A lot of people widing up in the hospital with dubble pneumonia for some reason. I've know people who have and one the aftermentioned close family friend almost died, couldn't get her air, her kidneys began to shutdown, etc. I've heard of a fair bit of cases like this though news media as well. In anycase this season has reactivated my once thought dead germophobia

That's something. This thread has achieved an overwhelming number of posts and I cannot believe that I have contributed so many posts on it. They may seem a few but only from a couple of posters,that's a lot of text and images posted.

>The flu is bad in the States (among other countries) this year. A lot of people widing up in the hospital with dubble pneumonia for some reason. I've know people who have and one the aftermentioned close family friend almost died, couldn't get her air, her kidneys began to shutdown, etc. I've heard of a fair bit of cases like this though news media as well. In anycase this season has reactivated my once thought dead germophobia

It should be the average thing for you,I mean, the cold is not new. I guess it's a matter of medical care because after a couple of days,it's gone (at least,in my country). Also,a double pneumonia is really weird unless you had a permanent one in the first place and you are in a very old age.

Also,news leave a lot to be desired, that won't change.

>Also,a double pneumonia is really weird unless you had a permanent one in the first place and you are in a very old age.

I guess part of it could be the not the best though not as bad universally as some make it out ta be, but still needs a lot of work heath system and country's health in general. Not all hospitalizations have been exactly that, but I've known 3 people who got the flu who ended up in the hospital with pneumonia in both lungs and with verious other secondary problems. PLus heard of a few cases in the news media. Its not something I remember before even with the much hyped swin flu we had a few years ago. It's just crazy to me. Maybe it's something that's rare and I'm just happen to be extra unlucky to see/ have people in my who I'm at least vaugely connected with be like this.

>Also,news leave a lot to be desired, that won't change.
I'll say. I once destoryed both my concervative and liberal leaning friends by just looking beyound the surface level political shrilling they both consume. They both didn't know what to do with facts that either conflicted with both their narratives. or times when their own media supported the exact thing they were shilling against in the past. Not going to say anyhing futher do to being tierd of politics and not wanting to draw blind partisans here.

Also, I see you turned >>631 into a banner. Glad it could be of use! Though I was just starting a toy with what will hopefully be a better version of that idea which I will still do it almost has an old internet ms paint meme quality to it, doesn't it?. Kind of reminds me of some of /sp/'s banners as well.

>It should be the average thing for you,I mean, the cold is not new. I guess it's a matter of medical care because after a couple of days,it's gone (at least,in my country).

A clarification here: most of the cases have been the elderly or children, however, I have heard a few people who were hospitalized that were considered heathy. Heck, an old friend wound up in a pretty sad state and he is a 19 year old who exercises regularly and likes to do various sporting events. (one of the 3 people I know who has gone to the hospital). Another strange thing is the strain of Influenza that I've head in a lot of these cases has been a Type B strain (including the people I know persoally), which isn't eve the main one that is eing freaked out/hyped this year.

>the cold is not new. I guess it's a matter of medical care because after a couple of days,it's gone

Interesting. In my country the flu is often a week long affair at least. Even many times among people who are heathy and don't get sick very easily.

Well, weirder things have happened in terms of science or health in past generations. It's hard to point it out so quickly and without information but we notice it much quicker than in the past,so the relief comes when you or your close people are not the only one having it. The undesireable part is when you get to be the unlucky one.

I don't think you need to say anything else. I think someone confessed something really similar in /mlp/ whose case was that he lost his Facebook friends because of the 2016 elections. I personally tend to see myself into the center right territorry(liberal in Europe,centrist as for the US) and it's worth to check and study in the future how lobotomized people can get with heat reactions. Driving their lives with the political situations into the extreme is just purely unhealthy. I did that for one year with an even got to be a neonazi thinking for 4 hours until I saw myself what I was in the mirror. Thinking too much about politics is a mistake and I don't know how people can be healthy and obsessed with it at the same time. I take them with moderation now,objectively(looking for logical reasons and causes for x consequences) if possible.

It gets into the funny and in your case,depressing territory at the same time,especially if our brains lower the intelectual capacity into a monley one for social media.I even said one time that shitposters would be less cancer than normal people of Facebook. Never thought about it, but I see that retardation is infinite.

that's the usual stuff. Nothing really out of the ordinary epidemic episodes.

considering that Type B is only transmitted between people, I guess they could have been infected by going to university or at work into the city. It's pretty easy whenever a sick person has to work in those conditions in order to not lose his job and pass the virus to others. It happens a lot and I don't think that people are strong to it. I've seen cases in which in matter of two or three days,they leave and then come as normal,not revitalized but I guess the feel better treatments help to go through the one week period.

>Interesting. In my country the flu is often a week long affair at least. Even many times among people who are heathy and don't get sick very easily.
It pretty much depends on the treatment and how your body can tolerate or react to the virus. Just a matter of luck and how to deal with it. There are little better moments and some worse ones.

Now that I think about it,you should watch Three's A Crowd while sick in the mobile. Not when you are completely fucked with the virus but when you are actually comfy on the bed through the mid period, watching a couple of cute slice of life episodes. One of those moments in which FiM made its actual job of feeling better and I still remember it fondly back in December 2014.

Yeah. For me it hasn't gotten that far yet with anyone close then again, I don't have that many people who are closed to me right now ,but I've seen it unfold around me and sometimes have been grazed in the crossfire.

>I personally tend to see myself into the center right territorry(liberal in Europe,centrist as for the US)

I guess I'm kinda right wing too which is something I've had a hard time admiting to myself . Actually I could be considered borderline far right in some areas if it wasn't for my massive sympathy for people of different views and pragmatism in goals. My biggest pet peeve is when political shrills hide facts and act like the other side has 100% no reason to rationally exist. Of corse a gay dude from the deep south will be drawn to sjw crap. Just as a white dude from the south will be drawn to the alt-right as for the people who threw him under the buss as well (sorry to shrill a little myself)

>It gets into the funny and in your case,depressing territory at the same time,especially if our brains lower the intelectual capacity into a monley one for social media

** Progessive Friend brings up stat about how all the counties where trump won had high instences of google searchs of the N-word. Conservatie friend counters that was liberal fake news and brings up a state from stastic analyst website fivethrityeight arguing that the exit polls were right and that Trump did indeed do somewhat well with hispanic voters (exit polls said that trump got somewhere between a quater and a third of them, progressive have been shrilling about it all year). Progressive friend says that fivethrityeight has "sold themselves to Trump and that they have absolutely no credit and nothing from there should be used as a source.
Bla, bla, bla. I finally point out that BOTH of their stats are from fivethirtyeight... they didn't know what to do and the argument is ended awkwardly. **

I'm just tierd of politics and want retreat into my interest and focusing on helping my family at this point.

Let me tell you why facebook is the worse, or at least can seem that way to someponies like us. It's not just the fact that they're normies. There normies who social structure is based around who can be the most normie of the normies. It's the worst of social media to me, personaly. If I were to join I could be pressured to get into regular contact with people I'm not the most found of. Regularly having ta like post that someone else posted because I'm there friend and they could take it the wrong way I see my mom stress over this all the time Not to mention that if you ever become a serious participent there you almost always get entered into a silent "life contest". Even worse then Instagram or Twitter, because at least there are some people there who use it for other then life posting Not to paint with a broad brush. There are plenty of people I know who use facebook who are wonderful people, but I see this kind of stuff at least some in like 90% of them. I don't even like the term "normie" but that is a word that I think fits facebook well. It's the worse of the mainstream and it made the mainstream itself worse.

Onwards to 800!

for me,normie sounds like a retarded term but the meaning behind it is reasonable. People who act as if that was the normal pattern for the society so everyone else should follow those trends blindly. The trick is always notifications. Whenever a friends of yours calls you or comment on any blog or entry,you have the need to answer them soon. Unlike here which is optional and nobody is forced to stay, I see that in FB you are risking you cybernetic life and so,your actual life.
I can say I am addicted to mobile but I can let it behind if I had better things to do. However,what you tell me is terrifying in the sense that it feels like pure slavery in order to save your personal image everyday.

I wonder how much frequency normies lie or pretend to follow something when in reality,they don't feel like that...

>Onwards to 800!

>for me,normie sounds like a retarded term but the meaning behind it is reasonable.

That's about my thoughts on the term. I usually see it being shrilled by hipsters as a rejection of somehing with mainstream popularity or by newfags trying to act hip to the chans. I don't like shrilling against average people, but with facebook I just feel like its environment and culture just screams it in the worst way possible. Not in a "oh that's normal so it's bad" sense but in a "we are normal, we pride ourshelves on being normal, we hate anything that isn't in our ingroups so we will blindly hate it" sense. As in a feel almost threated by the culture there.

>I wonder how much frequency normies lie or pretend to follow something when in reality,they don't feel like that...

I know people who do all the time to verying degrees. Not to say that everyone there is 100% is a blind addict, but I do see at least some of these behaviors in most people I know who use social media a lot.

>Challenge accepted,darling.

I see that it alienates people into one group. This is how you start identifying and separating people into groups(and yes,this technique is really popular for politics) and then, outsiders feel like homeless there. They feel like they don't have a place there. It could also apply to me. The worst gift that I could receive is by having an account on Tumblr or Twitter again.Not even free I would want them. You would have to pay me to get into them.

>I know people who do all the time to verying degrees. Not to say that everyone there is 100% is a blind addict, but I do see at least some of these behaviors in most people I know who use social media a lot.
Could this explain their anger in some of their entries? I mean,the constant stress they have about their social image,could it cause the offended responses and show their impatience instead?
>My goal is to get the banners before then.

Yeah,it's becoming a little bit more sophisticated and a little nice gallery. Again,this is what anyone can do with a photo editor with the normal effects but I guess the simple methods are more effective.

I was once tempted to get an account on tumblr because I wanted to follow some in the islands of users who are in chan orbit there or at least not sjw shrills that I have seen in my forays there . But you still would have to be very wary of who you talked to there. I'm still way too paranoid and distrustful to ever want to put myself a risk to follow 1 or 2 chill pony blogs that already have other social media.

>This is how you start identifying and separating people into groups(and yes,this technique is really popular for politics) and then, outsiders feel like homeless there. They feel like they don't have a place there. It could also apply to me.

Yeah, I feel ya. I try to avoid such terms generally because I know it doesn't help and it can hurt the grouth of your own.

>Could this explain their anger in some of their entries? I mean,the constant stress they have about their social image,could it cause the offended responses and show their impatience instead?

I think it could. I can't find the link at the moment but there is this one paper I read that was talking about all the social dynamics in play with how call-out posts work on tumblr. I think most people feel a little pressure some of the time to like or follow something sometimes. More passively on facebook, probably a curve that goes upwards with your level of participation there. At least that's what I've seen with the people around me. Then again, you have some people who act like total jerks to both their followers and rivals and still do pretty okay, certainly a lot of things at play that I don't want to get involved in.

>By the way,this is the picture of Cadence that has 61 upvotes and didn't even reach the 100 likes barrier on Derpi

That's just sad. Only thing I can say that's positive on that is that at least it got buried more orangicly then the way it would've got on YT that's not much of a bright side is it?

>Yeah,it's becoming a little bit more sophisticated and a little nice gallery.

Hope I didn't ruin the sophistication of it with my more lower tier art choices :).

Between the worst things thst could happen,it would be that you wouldn't be the only one to get some doxxing or menacing messages,considering it has happened to others. The bad thing though is when it happens to you and spend time on being the target for a while.

>Yeah, I feel ya. I try to avoid such terms generally because I know it doesn't help and it can hurt the grouth of your own.
immaturity. It's something that you overcome with experience and personal will. You know that better than me,I am just only a spectator who analyses the events.

When you are young and click follow,you think that's pretty cool but then it spawns stuff you don't like and then it becomes unsufferable. There are double standards when you add someone/something onto the table for your profile. The best way to do it is following a few profiles of comedy and couple of objective newspapers for certain news(inb4 objective or true happenings)

>That's just sad. Only thing I can say that's positive on that is that at least it got buried more orangicly then the way it would've got on YT that's not much of a bright side is it?
There is a good side though. I have checked the tag of Cadence and the lowest rated images of her are people who cosplays her. If she appears drawn,she still remains beautiful. She may not be the most loved or biggest fan favourite but neither she is material for cringefests. Even in fan art,she is a peaceful character.

>Hope I didn't ruin the sophistication of it with my more lower tier art choices
The metallic filter looks pretty cool though.

Nothing new to see. There is no need to compromise but as we have something to look forward.....but it kind of becomes a personal promise you want to do.

>>723
> The bad thing though is when it happens to you and spend time on being the target for a while.

Yeah. I know there are people who even go there to fight and never have a problem, but the thing is it could happen. Even if I didn't get doxxed if someone decided that I was an evil person who needed a daily does of political shrilling that would still be not worth it either.

>immaturity. It's something that you overcome with experience and personal will. You know that better than me,I am just only a spectator who analyses the events.

Though I try to be a spectator myself, I sometimes get caught in the crossfire. Anycase my conutry is the largest battlefield for a lot of this crap right now. sorry So I got a nice frontrow seat! 4D!

One of the advantages to having a more mid sized group of fans I suppose is better self moderation.

>Nothing new to see. There is no need to compromise but as we have something to look forward.....but it kind of becomes a personal promise you want to do.

Europe has a pretty good seat for the film. I am currently watching these events with a really big screen,just that weapons aren't allowed here. Shitshows will happen either way,especially from any extreme group.

>One of the advantages to having a more mid sized group of fans I suppose is better self moderation.
that's one of the reasons Cadence hasn't aged. She hasn't been exploited or the snowflake of the month for forced or overhyped praise. The moderated fans who praise her keep a good health.just like her during all this period. You don't get as tired as the Twilight episodes of popularity or Fluttershy's relationship duels.

>I wonder where the days of being innocent before doing anything went. I miss them.

Me too. Especially annoying when doing absolutely nothing and trying to stay out of things can still make you a target. We at least have this as a drama bunker I suppose... (as othe parts of the fandom) but it would be kind of nice for things to settle down IRL.

>that's one of the reasons Cadence hasn't aged. She hasn't been exploited or the snowflake of the month for forced or overhyped praise. The moderated fans who praise her keep a good health.just like her during all this period.

That appiles to fandoms in general I think. Some of the strongest long term fandoms are stuff that stayed on the sidelines or slowly gained straghth over a period of time versus becomeing a overhyped and tired meme. I mean look at Undertale and how quickly its fandom collasped. It probably would be considered a hidden gem if had been realesed 10 years ago that people even in the chans would even soemtimes shrill for if it didn't get too strong of a furry following anyway . Back on the topic of Cadence, I do hope she get's a little more fan content for her. Be nice to get in the sweet spot between mainstream and unnoticed or being just small enough to not be bunred out as the flavor of the season like our fandom sometimes has done.

You could have sum it up with Shadow of The Colossus or something like Earthbound.Those were some examples you were trying to compare it with.

She has received a little more during this week. The grey but comfortable zone keeps her charm yet her flaws of not offering anything really unique. The rhythm she has kept is slow but stable and that way works perfectly for her. A boost as you said,would be pretty nice and I hope an episode encourages the fandom to be interested with her again.

Awesome. I can think of several countries that fit that off the top of my head. Though the USA had it's fair share of times we've done stupid things or been at each others throats (most notably out civil war). We are a tiny speck in history campared to of you guys and your shenanigans. Not to blindly shrill against or for anyone, I know the USA's impact has been huge in many areas for better or worse, but a lot of us in the states forget that history is not centered on us : )

>Well,that's what happens when mentally ill people have a vocie and make random noises that affects everyone around there

Especially annoyning when they drive more people insane. More and more spaces become compromised by either them or those who where driven off by them, who themselves become pretty crazy. Everyone becomes paranoid of any signs of being on the other team and you have really be careful in some circles not to get labled "cuck" or "racist" for not agreeing with the local hivemind (which can be very esoteric in nature and sometimes comfict with other sections of group, even on the same team.) I'm just repeating myself at this point, I'm tired of it.

>The grey but comfortable zone keeps her charm yet her flaws of not offering anything really unique. The rhythm she has kept is slow but stable and that way works perfectly for her.

Yeah, and its not like she's utterly lacking in everything, but there are some deparments that I think it would be interesting to see her shine in more. She does get's a lot of fanart. In areas such as fiction and comics she's not doing to bad, but she often has to share the spotlight and doesn't have as much stuff that is solo on her. She is doing to hot in animations or memes that's for sure not saying she'd get the treatment of Celestia or Luna treatment in that department Ya'know stuff like that. Still rather have some good coming in at a steady rate then a lot comming in at once only to become stale, overhyped, entry level content.

Tip fpr you: it has more history behind than the USA. Alright,that's too generic. Think about a country which contributed to the US and gave some values to it.

Everyone becomes paranoid of any signs of being on the other team and you have really be careful in some circles not to get labled "cuck" or "racist" for not agreeing with the local hivemind (which can be very esoteric in nature and sometimes comfict with other sections of group, even on the same team.) I'm just repeating myself at this point, I'm tired of it.
It gets tiring because there are a lot of immature people and that has its root on the education and values. It's not the black and white territory as many loudspeakers claim.just that they can't tell and so they sum it up with us vs them. Again,this is nothing new or exclusive of this generation,in fact,I think we are a little more tolerant than before because we have upped the standards over time but still,we commit the same mistakes.

>Yeah, and its not like she's utterly lacking in everything, but there are some deparments that I think it would be interesting to see her shine in more. She does get's a lot of fanart. In areas such as fiction and comics she's not doing to bad, but she often has to share the spotlight and doesn't have as much stuff that is solo on her. She is doing to hot in animations or memes that's for sure not saying she'd get the treatment of Celestia or Luna treatment in that department Ya'know stuff like that. Still rather have some good coming in at a steady rate then a lot comming in at once only to become stale, overhyped, entry level content.

Basically,what a consistent secondary character does. Notice how I used the word consistent but not solid,because in order to become a strong character,development or some kind of personal conflict has to happen. Again,she has some unused energy and potential that the staff hasn't exploited. It's a gift and a curse at the same time. Either way,I love her for what she is despite her initial purpose.

>She's clearly planing something. Probably her next grand project. Wonder if she want in outer space anyway?
Outer space has more space than Equestria for building bridges. A genuine masterplan. Dolores conquests with bridges Star Wars/Spore and makes sure no planet is free from such essential constructions.

>Don't worry though, I am still alive!
>May the power of the many spaces bridges of Dolores be with you my fellow /endpone/ anon!
The only thing that worries me is myself and how much I can (want to) keep the /endpone/ project

but I have to mention the enormous loyalty both have shown for almost two months.that's why I am not completely worried about you but more like myself and my personal preferences. I have more fear about what I want to do than what others can do. I hope love doesn't tear us apart...

Duchy of Courland, I knew it! It makes perfect sense. Thanks for General Kosciuszko! Who any true student of history will know was born THERE and not in Grand Duchy of Lithuania propper.

Certainly not the worst in history were people in each others throats. Only new dynamic is social media allowing it to be shrilled in our faces. Which is still way better then problems slowly growing in the background then violence

>Again,she has some unused energy and potential that the staff hasn't exploited. It's a gift and a curse at the same time.

Yeah she sure does. Though it is a good thing in reguards to entry level content and her fans not having as many crazy shrills, I still feel sorry for you guys over the lack of attention and how some can just be so dissmisive of her.

>Basically,what a consistent secondary character does. Notice how I used the word consistent but not solid,because in order to become a strong character,development or some kind of personal conflict has to happen.

Though considering the fact that the fandom has given extreme character depth background ponies and even one off characters who make only a single appearence have sometimes more stuff in some areas then a character who has appeared more often then them and has a lot of things that weren't as explored deeply as most of the other characters to this point you'd think she would get a bit more in depth solo stuff. Not to shrill, as you said there is significant benefits to her being a little under the radar, I just wish she got a bit more stuff.

>Outer space has more space than Equestria for building bridges. A genuine masterplan. Dolores conquests with bridges Star Wars/Spore and makes sure no planet is free from such essential constructions.

And no pony will stand in her way!

That's why you should never let this become a burden. Don't stress about posting everyday or worring about contributing OC. This is just a hang out. Perhaps it is a place to vent frustrations and experiment with OC that are close with are emotions. Maybe it's just a area to lough and relax when wanting to take a break from the larger chans or as a drama bunker. Point is the moment this becomes a burden then it just becomes another stress/obligation on your life that isn't worth your time.

>>768
> I am not completely worried about you but more like myself and my personal preferences. I have more fear about what I want to do than what others can do.

If this becomes a stress then it is obviously okay to stop. Or at least reduce it to maybe just posting ever so often every few mouths. Also, if you had a certain direction/new ideas that your unsure of the others not liking I think you should aim for it anyway. You were the spark that happened at the right time to start the campfire here after all. and technically the mod. I doubt me or the other anon who sometimes stops by would through a hissy fit or anything like that anyway.

Point is : what do you want and what are you comfortable with?

Also, to bring a topic outside of politics and such. What do you think of the whole death battle thingy with Twily vs Ravan from teen titans? Frankly while I do find it fun that our fandom still has stuff like this happening, I hope that it doen't become a shrillfest. People take this show a bit too seriously... that's the way fandoms are I personally have always been circumspect to how it handles things, though I will admit I'm not someone who even seen half of them. Even times when I agreed wiith their verdict I often find myself disagreeing with how they reached it. There analysis is arbitrary and sometimes pretty lacking, they don't seem to have consistent rules with how they handle different canons and what not. Still, the fandom has certainly had some fun times with there stuff that I certainly would never wish away, and I hope this will be more towards that end.

As for the match up itself. Raven should win if they have any sanity, though I never read any of her comics or watched teem titans for that mater and this is from both stuff I remember from what exposure I had of TT and a little googling on the side. I will admit that TS is no joke. In a death battle both characters would be at their full natural strangth, so that partly makes up for Twilight's inconsistency in combat prowess AKA: AHHHH Timberwovles run! vs There's like a hundread changlings, no prob, fir' mah LAZER!. But this is just a death battle between the two of them, so no EOH or alicorn magic (though her actually having some agressive/knowing how to fight when push comes to shove maybe given to the stats they give her) boost. The implications of how strong she has been protrayed were have certainly went downhill, season 5 and 6 give way more negative marks on her score card then positive on combat ability in a fight like that. Unless they do something stupid like only teen titans the tv show canon and then try to justify a TS victory from that, I don't see how Twilight can win this by any sane basis. Then again, I could be totally wrong and TS would make the most sense, I haven't seen/know enough of TT, though it would be a hard sell

Top kek.

Nope,nice try.

>Certainly not the worst in history were people in each others throats. Only new dynamic is social media allowing it to be shrilled in our faces. Which is still way better then problems slowly growing in the background then violence
In terms of that,it's better because at least,you can expect and even prevent the violent operations,not everything but for the most part,you can predict and anticipate the security from those events. The price for it is by having some kind of 1984 big brother for that though.

>Yeah she sure does. Though it is a good thing in reguards to entry level content and her fans not having as many crazy shrills, I still feel sorry for you guys over the lack of attention and how some can just be so dissmisive of her.
Well,it's not that bad to be honest. I think she is not claimed as the princess that ruined the show like back in 2012 becuase Twilicorn and EQG have received all the focus and frustrations to pay from ruining headcanons. It's mich better to be there without making noise and have a little niche for those who like her in a proper way. In the sense that you know she can't deliver you a lot but her presence is enough.

>Though considering the fact that the fandom has given extreme character depth background ponies and even one off characters who make only a single appearence have sometimes more stuff in some areas then a character who has appeared more often then them and has a lot of things that weren't as explored deeply as most of the other characters to this point you'd think she would get a bit more in depth solo stuff.

We both do. However,she cannot be classified as a background character either for that kind of investment. She has appeared several times and has a defined personality and the only thing that separates her is exploiting what she has to a higher level of importance. The background pony treatment was unique in terms of having passion and desire to make something out of nothing. In 2014,that hype fell apart and with the introduction of more secondary characters,the less you focus on the ones who don't have any importance to the episodes.

>And no pony will stand in her way!
Maybe Chrysalis.....maybe...

Yeah,I know. It's just that I want to reach a certain number(not really hard) and then,I can certainly breathe with more freedom.

I have certain ideas that I am not sure how they will spark. I know I can stop perfectly,in fact,those two posts take me like 10 minutes or so. The problem is that I think I am wasting my time when playing video games or literally doing nothing by lurking just doesn't do much either. It's like I feel like I am contributing to something that is pretty minor or has no importance in the end but feels kind of rewarding. I look at the fanfic I wrote or the bat pony thread and I say:"Goddamn,have we done that?" and I never loved bats until two or three days before posting them. Same with the fanfic.

>what do you want and what are you comfortable with?
By being alive with a good health and not doing stange things that could hurt my life(drugs,fighting in the street because of mindless/childish stuff...).I am comfortable with what I have yet,I am hungry at the same time. Maybe because I am young and wonders about the future quite a lot.
About the board, I simply don't know. I am just surprised that I have given so many ideas to be posted and even liked(bat ponies,seapones,Cadence,Dolores theories...). I know we are few here but I always come with a pretty low mindset when you come to a chan and not expect anything to come back to you....save pony content.

uff that like what of the topics I know the most (not /pol/ edition though)

I have not particularly seen much interest on watching them but I think they have some kind of real take on what the characters can offer. The funniest part about this is that ponies STILL trigger certain parts of the internet. You wouldn't want to know if Twilight wins. All the hate wasted on ponies...for this. It's pretty comical to see those episodes of denial and shallow the pony pill once more.

The problem gets here,when you make the battle too convenient for the battle in the sense that every battle is different,but you cannot notice or put certain patterns that they have to follow. This is what happens when you combine extremely unrelated characters in the same place(like any crossover). The fandom enjoyed the battle with Deadpool and Pinkie though.
>As for the match up itself. Raven should win if they have any sanity, though I never read any of her comics or watched teem titans for that mater and this is from both stuff I remember from what exposure I had of TT and a little googling on the side.
I literally haven't had any contact with the original Teen Titans. I have not watched and I only knew they existed when I ljrked a bit about the cartoon community.Basically,after noticing FiM and seeing how the animation industry goes.

I guess the only way to see the reasons and establish who could is by watching it. Then,you find the reasons why by finding the reasons. If they are outlandish,then this serves no purpose. If Raven or Twilight wins and it fits,then you learn something else.
Twilight has abandoned mostly her powers on recent seasons. She is powerful but she hasn't used magic as you said, since season 4 or 5. We are in a situation where her powers have gone to where and back again to earlier seasons but with a higher level of standards. Alircorn magic,yet, not for battle purposes,more like defensive if anything. Tirek may have been a huge exception.
