Goodness, is this our official ideology name?

I am not too familiar with Helldivers but this is a pretty good attempt at writing up an anthem in an /endpone/ context. I amused and impressed. Good job with what you have here, /)

Been going through something of a personal crisis at the moment. I know /endpone/ is more bloggy than other places but stuff of this tier I usually keep to myself. I almost feel like doing _something_ with it but I don't know what. Hehehe, I make no promises of anything cool but I just feel like posting rambling and strange posts. SOme Umbridge of an art project there amidst the exhaustion. 

I hope and pray everypony out there is doing well. Even anons who I have only crossed paths ever briefly due pop into my mind from time to time.

Dumping thoughts. I have something of a softspot for comics and other media made from just editing scenes of the show. Especially when they are slightly higher effort like pic related. Yet, I don't really consume or study them all that much. Just a passing appreciation. There is part of me that may want to make or so something by diving into one of the larger ones (like the forever running Friendship is Dragons) but for the moment that is more of a pipe dream. 

My status is still a little iffy, but better than earlier maybe. I hope everyone out there is doing well.

Thanks. I hope whatever crises for you finally subside. 

 >>/12138/
I've always thought stuff like that was low effort but I do like some show style vectors on their own. In fairness, I don't think I ever looked over comics like that often, so maybe some have good writing or something that would make up for it.
 >>/12142/
I used to be of a similar opinion but they gradually grew on me. I'm not calling them perfect or the best, certainly a lot of trash and a lot is just middling to average, but some stuff speaks to me for whatever reason. I suspect it's my nostalgia for the show's style and my dislike of the uniformity of where some art styles have gone both twitter artist and the AI they hate may play a role but I still started to have this positive feeling towards some of that before some of that really set in. 

Thanks for the well wishes! I hope you are doing well yourself.

So, there is this thing. Though I have only taken a brief peak around, from what I have seen and the words of a friend, everywhere from twitter to the old online bastions are filled with significant and understandable skepticism to this project. My skepticism is medium high. I mean
> Amazon 
> On the heals of mindcraft movie
Those two factors enough mean there is a pretty high chance of it being corporate and soulless in a way that probably would merit Generation 5 an apology or two from some of it's more radical haters. We are so early in development though it could easily get canned at some point depending on events in the world. 

Another big factor: China, might loom large on this. I keep hearing about how big the fandom is there. I wonder if things would be made to be geared towards that too? Only issue is the increasingly tumultuous relationship between China and the United States has kind of made the "bet big on China" model a risky proposition compared to even 5 or 6 years ago.

> every live-action adaptation has been terrible. 
Agreed. I don't know if the worst case scenario is some sort of ponies in earth setting or humans in Equestria filled with uncanny CGI that may or may not be cartoonish whimsical or channeling the "live action" Lion King adaption.  

> Also China, which is terrible.
I think China has a small, small sliver of a chance of making the movie less bad, but them jumping through hoops to look good/get past the censors in the Chinese market probably would digest me.  

> but I don't think I'd pay to see this movie.
I am officially in wait till I know more but 95% chance I think it's going to be something of the above and thus in a similar boat.

If they'd just hire an administrator and pull in the best of the fan works, we could build a gen6 to be proud of.

But that would call into question what it means to own a cartoon, in addition to having a timeline the globalists with the purse strings hadn't had a chance to vet first.
 >>/12172/
I feel like I might be in the minority but I think HiE is better than PiE. Because there is a chance that the movie could still be somewhat whimsical and at least trying to be fun over POP CULTURE! Say what you want about the Minecraft Movie, it's shit but at least it had fun being MINDCRAFT! in a way that was better than X cartoon character in the real world scenarios have.

> If they'd just hire an administrator and pull in the best of the fan works, we could build a gen6 to be proud of.

Hasbro has killed  most of their creative team and is hot water and they don't have much to lose at this point but I feel like we are going to go through a phase of retarded cash grab boomer focus groups first before we see anything truly good and Hasbro may die and then some fans might actually make a horse franchise that is worthy spiritual successor that can easily get away with almost copyright infringing characters.

I haven't seen the Minecraft Movie, so I can vouch for it, but I do agree there is logic of Equestria being the spectacle and thing to react to versus Earth. One has a chance for some soul. Though with Hasbro post G4 it has been mostly done by marketing committee. The failure of Transformers: One, a movie that was more closer to what the fans of Transformers had wanted, probably doesn't bound well for us. 

 >>/12174/
I had seen a lot of art work of that by western artist, but this wants me to checkout who is making art of that and seeing if a lot is from china. I need to get better at checking the non-english speaking fandoms!

PoLS everypony. 

There is two paths you can go by in the long run.

But only one matters.

Latent untamed suppressed urges, beckon creativity.

Old shakespearean motifs call my name; they no longer hold the appeal of pretentious elitism but are too well know to be a hipster even if they have fallen out of style.

Twilight Sparkle looks into a mirror and what does she see?
Why do I look so weird?
It's because it's raid 5

Working on several posts. Just wanted to make an anniversary post here in /NMAiE/ just to note this event in this thread. Plus, I find this image funny that it has Mane 6, Princesses, + Cheerilee. Random choice to fill out the roster there (probably should be Spike) but I enjoy that randomness all the same.

Three way civil war, Princess Celestia with Twilight and Rarity. Princess Luna with Fluttershy and Pinkie PIe, and Cheerilee with Applejack and Rainbow Dash. 

Who would win? My bet is on Princess Celestia just because of unicorn Twilight, but Luna has the higher combat potential of the princesses. Cheerilee would be some random usurper without magic or much support, so I don't know why Rainbow Dash or Applejack would side with her.

Starting to have Hearth's Warming on my mind, slightly. 

Might open a new thread or two before New Years, if I am organized enough. This are minor threads. Will explain later. 

Hmmmm....Truth be told my mind is drained from some minor family difficulties someone having me help them pack and organize stuff. He moves rather sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowly and it takes the whole day. 3rd day of it.  Otherwise my status is alright.
Tried to put up a Hearth's Warming/Christmas message but the pictures wouldn't post. I suspect it is something on my /end/ with one of the pictures. As sometimes endchan rejects them. Will try again later.  for whatever formatting reason

Testing 1.2.3 testing. 

Just deleted a previous post of mine. Image didn't post. Not the main problem. I wasn't sure if me mentioning the recent mirror spamming attack contained any keywords that would trigger crap from bots. Like mentioning a email address even partly censored just the address mentioned in post like this  >>/12450/ . Considering what happened last year, I hope we don't have any sort of repeat. Thanks to admin/mods of /endchan/ and boardvole of here who probably dealt with this.

Another year, another chance to leave a celebratory reply around here.

Not much activity in endpone from my part, is it? This year has mostly been carried by the owner, 5050 and CB. 

I suppose that the latter might recall what I am linking around here for tonight´s event. 

https://youtube.com/watch?v=rIJIqylAu3g

I am leaving you to the main discourses of y´all to shine. Not much to say on my /end/ other than making my mark before the party even begins.

For now, take care ...which is a true gift on its own...

PoLS, currently healing from a foot wound. That and a sick relative has somewhat limited festivities at the moment. I might give a small Christmas storytime but for now, Merry Christmas and Happy Hearth's Warming to everyone and everypony out there.

> storytime

I cut my foot on the lid of a can. (I was trying to make a raspberry pi case from a old food can, lol) It bled a lot and long story short, couldn't get it to stop. By the urgent care doctor saw me it had finally clotted but my sock was soaked with blood. Now I am doing okay, if not fatigued and I'll admit it is interesting to be out at 2 AM on Christmas. 

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm... Any further holiday messages can I muster? Heh, we shall see. For now, once again Happy Hearth's Warming to everyone (and Merry Christmas).

That defines a...less than ideal way to celebrate Christmas. If I were to add a slice of sad relief/humour to it, it´s that these kinds of incidents happen more often than people are willing to admit in public. 

Here, viruses are spreading out all over the place and I have info on people I know who have been dealing with the influenza, potentially making their relatives sick by pretending not to be sick in public. 

No wonder you feel fatigued though, spilling blood like that may lead to headaches or some minor struggles because of it. So, even with that optimism, maybe it wouldn´t be wise to overlook the aftermaths so fast with a happy-go-lucky tone.

Yeah, far from ideal, but the suffering level wasn't 'too high. I have been doing better and I think I'll live. My main worry is my father who I think pushed himself way too far after surgery and is has been running a fever off and on for over a week. Haven't really gone into all the complexities with that here, just know that could make my life pretty complicated too.

It´s very telling that concerns are instantly switched up from you as soon as it´s somewhat but not completely under control. 

Without diminishing the problem in question in the slightest, it´s somewhat uncommon to not put oneself at the forefront while reporting the evolution of issues of this kind. Understandable and noble on your /end/ indeed...but a subtle detail worth pointing out nonetheless.

Well, we are reaching the end of the year, if not already for the countries at the east of the globe. 

Sometimes...things don´t have to be propelled to the same pace as it´s been taken for granted. Not only are we talking about the board in itself but also the franchise in general. This news may go underreported within some fan circles but it´s incredibly important to communicate this.

Amongst all the doom and gloom that you may have been reading in some places about the fandom is dying and all that doomer noise, 2025 may have proven that the fanbase may be more resilient over the years in terms of impact than what was assumed at first glance.

Before ending the year, this should uplift the fans out there who have endured this test: 
=2025 is the first year since 2003 without getting any new media content from official sources==

https://www.equestriadaily.com/2025/12/2025-is-apparently-first-time-there.html

You´ve heard that correctly: the fandom has withstood the test of time with the cancellation of gen 5 as well as the void of content for this entire year. There´s no greater proof of resilience than the absolute independence of activity from the main sources that feed it in order to keep the trend alive.

I wanted to share this before bidding farewell to this year. Uneventful, yes...but not necessarily negative. In fact, I think that it´s healthy to take a break because, remember:

The ride should be approached as a marathon, not as a relentless sprint.

Well, with that attempt to uplift some fans out there, the background noise of the fireworks and momentum are catching up over here. 4 hours before reaching the /end/ and...well, what can I say?

Whilst it´s true that my absence has been almost absolute from my part, this wouldn´t prevent me from glancing at the board behind the scenes, even if it´s for maintenance purposes of monitoring it.  I do believe that, given the lack of drive to engage with the board as well as any new ideas, contributions should be approached on a longer term than just fuelling the dopamine rush that we all get from the internet over and over again. 

Whilst boring for many, I think that instead of spamming images like a fool, it was best to spend that energy on systematically taking care of the tags that feed this community. It´s just that I posted the achievements  >>/12459/ of this yearly exercise last week without communicating the small updates. It would become quite a boring chore to do that around here. Apologies to those who awaited for my presence this year but...there were other matters to take care of from a personal perspective...but the support is there, just less celebratory/noisy.

Well, I can predict that Bridgefag, CB and maybe someone else are setting up the party for later posts that will get greater spotlight when the time comes.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=OmOlx1wpmlQ

One final push. Just a little more before the party comes. 

See you on the other side,endpone. Just don´t forget to rest in order to deliver the last hurrah of the year for closing it on a worthwhile note.

Cheers,

A user from 2017.

A very good point. That is weird to think about because I remember back in 2012 people thinking interest would die by before the show was even over. 2019 was some hypothetical apocalypse that never happened. I am uncertain of the state of things. Some places and subgroups still seem to be doing well and others are still enduring a slow die off, but I am certainly surprised, that 5 years from MLP's /end/, what places are still here. I'm surprised we're still here! I am thankful to the Lord that I have gotten to know some of the people here and that we are still somehow chugging along. Even if I am uncertain what my roll is here or what do with the mix of things I've wanted to do. 

I think that ought to prompt some other reflections as well, though my mind is unable to from exhaustion. Maybe later. 

Happy New Year /endpone/! I'll hopefully be back later, but in case I'm not, let me continue with tradition:

I didn't do fireworks, but as per usual, my city put up quite the illegal fireworks show around me. A bit scary this time, more stuff right next to where I live and some debris was hitting the front yard.

I hope you have a good time with fireworks. I think it's 11 something now in y'all's timezone (if my brain is functioning right).

I guess goodluck to anybody out there who is having a long hnagover or is dealing with possibly ramifications  of certain other events in the news. Funny thing, for most people I know, it's regualr life/one last weekend of fun before the life returns, but I was raised celebrating Christmas 12 days and thus it still feels like a holiday even if things have been a bit chaotic on my /end/.
