CAN'T HOLD ON MUCH LONGER (BUT I WILL NEVER LET GO)

>>43195038
You got to hold on loosely but don't let go
If you cling too tight, you're gonna loose control.
Your pony needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in
Don't let her slip away.

It's 2016 over here
Just revisiting pony as it was 10 years ago

I've found ponies because of (You) holding on. I feel they've become important to me, and I want other tardy newfags to have a chance of finding ponies too.

I got into ponies in 2022 and spent months just reading. Didn't post, just absorbed. At some point I realized I was reading threads from 2012 the way people read lost manuscripts. And when I read old /mlp/ I had this unparalleled feeling of creation, and inspiration too, this board used to, and still is, though to a lesser extent, the pinnacle of the creative spirit.

>>43195242
I for one, hate newfags and don't want them discovering ponies.

I like cute silly ponies doing silly things.

>>43195277
Because this board is literally all you have in your miserable little life.

>>43195277
I'm a newfag, but also an oldfag since I think I dropped the show before mlp even got a containment board. Only just recently started rewatching all of it in full.

It's almost funny how desperate some people are for attention online. I'm sure your handler will have a gold star sticker ready for you for """winning""" another internet argument.

Because no friends and no ambition. I've got a job, I make money and don't have to fear physical destitution. But spiritually I am dead. The ponies are an emblem of me when I weren't like this. My apathy is boundless, wasting my time ruminating on this ridiculous subject is just as valid as literally anything else. I'd kill myself if it weren't for there being no point in it, just like me going on living.

Pretty much the same for me, just even worse. The only reason I haven't killed myself is because I cannot fathom what lies beyond to be any better.

It's kind of surreal to have this as your first major fandom, because even in this state, it's incredibly active compared to the norm. There's a decent amount of Transformer fanart getting made, but even that pales in comparison to MLP's fan output. That's not even counting the incredible backlog of fan content MLP has.

It seems the Hasbro curse is not limited to just our IP.

>>43195587
Bro, Transformers is a show for like.. little boys..

>>43195569
I'm not that faggot's friend. There is no "we" here.

>>43195569
you just made it worse, thanks

>>43195587
I've been on the ride since late 2013 / early 2014, for some reason I found said knowledge kinda weird.
I assumed Transformers would be in a better position than MLP, as I think of the later as a "You had to be there" type of show compared to the former. While I've known of the existence of /mlp/ since 2015, I only started going there a couple of years ago. While I can't talk from personal experience, just comparing some of old thread shows a great contrast between the early 2010's and now. You can tell the vast majority of current users are quite new (myself included)

>>43195319
You really expect a post 2025 hack board composed mostly of shartyrejects to know what Twin Peaks is?

>>43197034
I know what it is, but it's been waaaaay too long for me to remember anything but the theme song and Laura Palmer's theme.

>>43195038
the community is still there and theres nothing that is like mlp. its not really just a random dead specific show but rather a cultural phenomenon that people still want to see and engage with as if it was still running. i literally just saw some high quality show style animations the other day with cool designs. people just think its cool and looks great. fim pony designs are just so good that they stay around. if the community didnt exist id probably have a hard time still being so into it. its not even really buried yet though. hasbro had pilots and ideas to bring back the fim cast so it wouldnt surprise me if we see them again soon. even if we never saw them again the mlp brand itself keeps existing and there will be a new gen. the next gen could literally look very fim or have the old characters so you cant really say its like holding onto something thats gone. the current question is.. will we see them again next gen or does the next gen look more like fim. g5 was shit but even that connected to the g4 universe so it was a little new content for g4.

when it comes to why i like it i think it looks cute and the fantasy stuff is cool. i rarely like something a lot and i just like mlp a lot. its also good to have something nice compared to the horrors of irl but isnt that just all media.

>>43195038
Not to mention G5 flopped
