> I have a lot that I could say but It would take me awhile to get my thoughts togather.
you have already scattered them through this year and a half, I don´t think that I would hear anything surprising at this point about what I had posted. 

> Things still crazy from Granddad's stuff 
you have written this during these last months so that private situation of yours hasn´t changed and there´s nothing that we can do from her to solve it sadly

> One of the things both funny and strange to me is that even in this state, there is stuff that was still memed harder then us and yet never had near the output. 
look at Area 51, it was a big even in theory and made for memes yet it proved to be completely a joke. Other examples of making a huge blast of memes were Dat Boi or Bowsette yet time has put most of those hype moments into the chest and barely few people keep them relevant these days in comparison.

> Even in the state right now that are things that are still heavily memed but never reached are levels of output that we have in this day ad age. 
I was going to reply just this. MLP cannot be qualified and put in the same league as your average meme because it has withstood the test of time and most importantly, it has actually caused a deeper impact on its fans over the years. All of us would be laughing at ourselves at first yet, it has served as a medium of expression  both for its own consumers and the staff behind its production. 

And as if that wasn´t enough, give a sense of nostalgia after its ending, as if something is missing from the hearts of the fans. Just with this peculiarity alone, it´s enough to prove that this franchise has crossed unexpected barriers from its original intentions.

> I suppose I could say is that the other fandoms are competeing for different groups of people while we have become are own true subculture. As I stated before. We exist outside of social media.
great explanation. This right here also justifies it.

> Side note: one of the only other fandoms I considered close to us in are levels of self-sufficiency and content creation being touhou. Which also is its owm subculture. Though they are smaller and more fragmented, they too have a pleathora of hangouts heck, mainly exist outside of social media and also are heavily part of chan culture. Though I do not consider them as segmented as us.
yeah. I don´t know all that much of Touhou in terms of how the fandom is organized, so I cannot speak with certainty how it works but considering that they almost have a board for themselves (/jp/), the amount of games released over the years and the 3rd place on Rule 34 by the numbers, one can get a slight idea of their evolution and relevance through the years. Going beyond certain circles and social media tells you a few clues about it.
