consider becoming a passive ponyfag: do stuff unrelated to poni you like but: still like poni

Dedicate your actions and character building to your wife

I get the feel. It's hard to keep it going without the zeitgeist and momentum, and then life happens at the expense of pony and free time in general. Growing up in general, no longer being 20-something, running home from college to pony pony, makes it hard. I had a lot more written, byt then the page shat itself and reloaded. Essentially I try not to think about it too much. I remind myself, in this modern chaos of everything vying for your attention, seeing pony in the wild still makes me perk up and gravitate towards it. In some way it feels like thinking back to a best friend we had 5-10 years ago. I've thought about trying to reconnect, rewatching the show, even though the manic momentum is gone, I still love our little ponies.. The whole thing of the internet sucking ass these days and everything being centralized also plays a role, even youtube removing all the comment on all the major pony videos due to kids, also killed a the feeling of community quite a bit, but I'm just rambling into a tangent now.

I don't just miss pony, I miss friends. They all just coupled up and moved to poland, spewing out kids. Or worse, ditched pony for the furry plague.

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.

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
