Fandoms all over are dying, diluted by normalfag infestations and homogenized by corporations who are so inhuman and out-of-touch they make aliens look like saints. Its not just a pony thing. The worst thing is I don't know if theres any real way to fix this predicament.

>>30057 I've felt like that but it always comes back, maybe I just attached too much of myself to pony or I just haven't found anything strong enough to keep me away for good. I guess being a loser with no life has probably helped with that. I keep getting ideas for things like stories and comics but I'm never going to do anything with them. I can't remember if I had a point. >>30060 Everything else being shit just makes it easier to stick with pony.

Your love for pony shouldn't depend on other people. Having waves is fine. Know that deep in your heart pony will live forever, and the ticket is guaranteed if that's your real desire. No need to keep it in mind for your entire life.

>>30059 this >>30057 In my experience, there are fine cycles and coarse cycles. The fine cycles last a number of weeks, and the coarse cycles are more like years. During the troughs of the coarse cycles, the fine cycles seem less compelling and the peaks are never quite as good as you remember. (love for) Pony is really more like an orientation than a presence, life orbits around it just naturally, inexorably, and while there's some variance and polarity in the orbit, it'll keep going. Watch it for long enough and you'll learn that you can have faith in that, and the low periods won't feel so bad.

>>30057 The love slowing down, I like to think as just like being past the honeymoon phase. Still love pony, but now we are living together until we go grey and die together.

>>30077 Passing the honeymoon phase is just the first trough of the coarse cycle. Chances are, it will pick up again; but of course, this is an unfolding evolution of love, it will never be quite the same, just good in different ways you might not have been able to understand before.

>>30074 >Pony is really more like an orientation than a presence, life orbits around it just naturally, inexorably, and while there's some variance and polarity in the orbit, it'll keep going. Thanks for this framing, anon. That's put into words how it's come to be in my life; pony is the bedrock and backdrop to everything else. Even when I'm not consciously engaging with it, it's still there and coloring everything else in my life. Makes me feel a bit more secure even during the down times.

pony is a hell of a drug

i'm a fresh newfag joining the fandom in early 2024 so i have yet to experience what do all of you mean but from what i'm reading it feels to me exactly the same as me feeling down and clutching on to nostalgia of a video game i played in my childhood, only to find i just grew up and isn't what it was but that doesn't mean it won't hold a special place in your heart, won't it? can't guarantee the magic will return, but it was there and it truly was unforgettable journey that's a pretty wild guess though. i need a confirmation if it's the same thing here

>>30127 doesnt matter if you are picasso you CANT make giraffe twilight look good GIVE UP
