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

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.

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.

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"

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.

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.

(\ 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Ouch indeed. I really hate this "select all images that contain cars" and the hidden workload that comes with it captcha.

> And don't underestimate yourself for not making a mark
I'm not underestimating myself, I specifically don't want to make a mark.
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, but alas it's not possible.

> Just because we are touching the bottom of the sea with this ship doesn't mean everything is awful...not even close.
I never said we're at the bottom. It always feels like we're minutes till midnight when it comes to hitting the bottom, and it's like that everywhere in life. Some may like it, some may not. I don't know.

> 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.
Indeed, doing not for the reward but because you think it's a right thing to do is an ideal I strive to achieve, but talking about things like that (you know, the "oh I'm so humble" kind of things) gets all tangled up in the meta and spoils the whole thing.
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.
As well as myself, getting carried over with my posts and spoilng the light-hearted tone of things. Sigh.

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.

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

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?

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

 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").

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

> 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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".

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.

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'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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You people are just down right pitiful.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

I'm starting to sound super edgy again, but my reason for staying alive is petty, to downright pathetic and outright stupid.
And that reason being... pain.
Yeah.
Pain.
Told ya it was absurd.
I do really always like to make an well of potential + local/global maxima/minima here, as if life was a function with domain of some abstract "position" and codomain being the pain level.
Having modeled life like that, I'm sitting in the well surrounded by walls of potential i.e. I'm sitting in a local minimum of a function. The local minimum represents day to day ordinary life. Beyond the walls of potential lies a global minimum, and the walls of the well symbolise effort (and pain) required to kill oneself.
With the despicable life target of minimising the function, here I am, sitting in the local minimum, not quite willing to climb over the walls, contrary to the life objective of achieving overall lowest value of function.
AKA literally taking the path of least resistance in the most animalistic way imaginable. Makes me hate myself at a times, alas I'm so indifferent that it does nothing.
Gotta overcome that potential well someday, though. The fact that the local minimum is rising and the walls are getting smaller also helps.

It's always good to see people not think in the science vs. humanities (aka feels vs. reals) dichotomy, because it seems to be prevalent trend of nowadays, with "you can be one but not the other" which, ironically enough, somehow is still upheld in media (movies, books, games and the like) by people who mostly come from humanities studies background

The types of people you can meet in chans range from brilliant masterminds to insnae conspiracy theorist.

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?"

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
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"

> 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.

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.

I was always in the middle on her. I thought she was rushed and shoehorned at times, but other times I thought she really did shine, especially when she wasn't with the mane6. 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 will say that season 2 and season 4 are actually pretty good (in fact,the latter is my favorite).

Those both are my favorites. I never can decide between those two though.

> 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.

Yeah I get that. It was made in the mindset to be a litle girls show that would only last a season or two. Sure, they put a lot of effort into it, but that's what it ultimately was. There was little adult subtext back then too. 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. 

To be absolutely fair to those that do prefer season 1 I will say this: there was certain implications of the universe that I could understand some perfering to the one we currently have. A more romantic setting with technology that was more medieval with hints of steampunk note, I think they over emphasize this point though, we still saw hints of more modern parallels to our tech. It only just wasn't as common (Twilight's equipment in Feeling Pinkie Keen, Modren paper in Applebuck Season)
The world certaily felt larger then too. There was a distance that had to be travled too when the ponies went anywhere as oppossed to making a cross continental trips like they were no big deal. The world felt unexplored and threats could be anyway around the cornor. While I personally consider it something that didn't fully die until the rise of the cutie map. Season 1 was when that feeling was at its strongest. not that I'm complaining, some of those eps have been fun! 

I personally like season 1, but I don't worship it as the gold standard, and I have been pretty happy for the most part for the show we got afterwords.

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

> 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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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
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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

About your personal stuff, ouch my grandmother had the same thing last week,I wonder if she will make it this year

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.

There is a third anon around here every now and then, that's for sure. Everything just came in discussion and word filter, we have a bridge as a mascot. Never stop believing in the bridges of our precious Dolores.

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

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.

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.

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.

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'll say. I once destoryed both my concervative and liberal leaning friends by just looking beyound the surface level political shrilling they both consume.

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)

 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.
