It seems that somepony stumbled unprepared for this moment.

And Scaredy Cadence doesn't like surprises.

I'm afraid though, that yes you have gotten that GET, Cadence.

HAPPY 7000 POSTS /ENDPONE/!

>>7000
LOL, I had the picture ready to post, double checked even.

Endchan does eat pics sometime but this one truly surprises me as it was tiny.

Here it is.

>>7001
>Endchan does eat pics sometime but this one truly surprises me as it was tiny.
well, even after all these years, after getting rid of the 500 and 502 errors that popped up very often back in 2018 (and in the previous years, I imagine), Endchan still manages to mess it up with the pictures (it has happened to me several times). Classic Endchan.

The day Odilitime decides to fix all the bugs and add an archive for this place, the world will actually /end/ for real, the Endchan that we all know will be long gone if those changes manage to happen.

And yes Candy, you got it.

>>7000
well, congratulations /endpone/, another one thousand posts to add on the track record with a new thread and a different index from the one displayed in the previous thread (very diverse by the way)

There is still a long way to go for the 5 digits (even though it´s getting closer) and one of the reasons why it feels so far away is that...

>Cosmos has sure taken the fandom for a wild ride; though chaos can be exciting, it is also tiring. So why not let harmony reign for awhile?

...(as I see it,) 2020 has felt like 3 or 4 years combined and as a consequence, there is a unique sense of weariness that I didn´t get from the previous years. I hadn´t imagined back when I wrote that opening post that this amount of chaos would happen a couple of months after creating the thread.


Let´s balance a bit the previous trend, shall we?

>>7005
>the Endchan that we all know will be long gone if those changes manage to happen.
Yes. Though I must say the past 3 days have reminded me too much of the classic eddition though.

>2020 has felt like 3 or 4 years combined and as a consequence, there is a unique sense of weariness that I didn´t get from the previous years. I hadn´t imagined back when I wrote that opening post that this amount of chaos would happen a couple of months after creating the thread.
IRL already felt this way before that, so for me it's been like 8 years.

>Let´s balance a bit the previous trend, shall we?
Definitely.

>So why not let harmony reign for awhile?
I revel in chaos and discord.

>I'm currently forcing my wife to watch S1, and maybe i'll get to there eventually.
You mentioned this before, how is it going?

>>7035
Pretty good. We just got to the end of season 1 and she's stopped calling me gay. She's started trying to make my nickname "princess sparkle" but I'm not having any of it.
She likes it more than I thought she would, but it is a good show, so I'm not too surprised. I count it as a win

>>7036
>We just got to the end of season 1 and she's stopped calling me gay.
That's a funny dymanic to me.

>She's started trying to make my nickname "princess sparkle" but I'm not having any of it.
What about Twiguy? Whose your fav pone anyway.

>She likes it more than I thought she would, but it is a good show, so I'm not too surprised
Is she into other nerdy things? How far do you plan to take her on the ride?

>>7037
>What about Twiguy? Whose your fav pone anyway.
I am NOT accepting an mlp nickname from her. that's RIDICULOUS!
And Fluttershy I guess. Though I'd argue that Applejack is best pony. Is there a consensus on who's best here? I would imagine that RD being the worst is just common fact.

>How far do you plan to take her on the ride?
Season 3, anything after that i remember just being ok.

>>7039
>I am NOT accepting an mlp nickname from her. that's RIDICULOUS!
Don't be such a Cranky Doodle Donkey! MLP nicknames are all the rage and you can do so much with'em!

>Is there a consensus on who's best here?
Easy meme answer would be our bridge, but that probably wouldn't be the true answer. Cadence too, and the two variants we have of her I suppose could be given the same treatment. For real though? That is harder to say. When I have seen it brought up most would say they didn't have a strong preference for one best pony.
>And Fluttershy I guess.
Even you seem to fit that.

>I would imagine that RD being the worst is just common fact.
The most "controversial" ponies I can recall were a couple of season 9 characters.

> I would imagine that RD being the worst is just common fact.
I know one anon who would argue AJ...

>Season 3, anything after that i remember just being ok.
How far did you get?

>>7043
>What's wrong with working for a living?
I, if I remember correctly, her being too much of a archetype over a character. It wasn't a hatred so much as finding her weaker than the rest of the mane6.

>Season five was amazing.
Season 5 is probably the season I've watched the least. I think my verdict at the time was "good not great".

> called me Twiguy. Or Flutterguy.
I think it depends on the context, for him, I think his wife called him gay over FiM at one point so perhaps it was a bit mocking or emasculating to him.TBH, probably find it funny or enjoyable myself.

Just a notation of something strange elsewhere that may or may not be significant.

>>7040
>Don't be such a Cranky Doodle Donkey! MLP nicknames are all the rage
Maybe it depends on the dynamic. She tries to emasculate me all the time, so take my word that "princess sparkle" comes with no sincerity. I'd probably accept it otherwise.

>How far did you get?
season 5, thats why I don't know any of the newer side characters.

>I know one anon who would argue AJ..
Hey, Applejack is best pony.

>>7043
>I honestly have no problems with athleteH0rs
I just finished watching an episode from season 2 where she forces a bunch of animals to compete for the "honor of being her pet". And after putting them all through a grueling competition, she picks the tortoise that she bullied all day which she refused to consider and it had to save her life before she finally decided that maybe it was ok.
Maybe she gets better as the show goes on, but almost every episode where she's front and center involves her being extremely self centered

>Season five was amazing
I don't remember the side episodes, but the Dolores Umbridge episodes were pretty sick

>>7050
>comes with no sincerity. I'd probably accept it otherwise.
Yeah I can see not liking that.

>Maybe she gets better as the show goes on, but almost every episode where she's front and center involves her being extremely self centered
Not a bad point, tbh. Not sure if that fact would make her worst of the mane6 in morality.

Merry Christmas!

Still waiting...

>>7075
Merry Christmas, /endpone/!

/endpone/ wouldn't be /endpone/ without its last PoLS of the year, wouldn't it? I might have been quite absent lately but still, the board deserves to know that there are signs of life over here.

While this counter >>7079 remains unclear, we know the actual end of the year with absolute certainty. I will deliver a few words before leaving this chaotic year behind. Shitposting might not require any effort at all but shitposting after living the entire 2020 experience...

...it might seem as low quality as ever but the context behind holds its merits. That's what deserves a little bit of attention before venturing into the next year.


Anyway, I am here to report that I am okay and hopefully, you are all doing alright as well.

Well...

it seems that 2020 is finally coming to an end. For those who are still lurking, posting out there or visiting the board casually...you can take a break and relax.

You´ve made it. That alone holds more merits than ever.

If I had to describe and sum up the entire 2020 , I would use this word: uncertainty.

Huge amounts of uncertainty everywhere and you wouldn´t know what could happen the following day. When this board >>4969 announced this post gen 4 transition as a chaotic one, one would refer to an unknown for a new transition for this community and that variable, new for the fanbase, would be one to keep track and see how the community would adapt itself to the new decade without the show.

However, that overwhelming amount of chaos was unexpected and not one that would come from the community (except for its inner dramas).

Shitposting might be always frowned upon for bringing a low amount of quality when its comes to the posts and the practice alone. However, being able to shitpost and showing legitimate signs that you are still out there posting on an imageboard and following the ride, with the same tone as one would display in the past, holds quite a lot of merit.

If one looks at this year in hindsight, while you might say that nothing really happened on a personal level, in reality, there are a few factors to consider. While it´s true that the capabilities of adaptation for the average person are quite praiseworthy, that doesn´t change what one has had to face this year.

I consider this year 2020 as one of those that contains several years in one and definitely, it has challenged the minds and health of many. You might be alive and keep the same attitude after all, but if one stops a little bit, then you realize how many people have been knocked down. Not only when it comes to Covid-19 deaths but also those people who have been going through a rough mental period for digesting all the doubts, fears and an unstable outlook about what could await in the future. To a greater or lesser degree, anyone would show signs of worry about this matter. In case that you didn´t, your respective country/environment would remind you about it instead (confinement, limitation of movement, masks,the vaccine race, information about the virus, economic impact,...) so it´s been basically impossible to live inside a bubble, much less when everything is more connected than ever and so, you will become instantly aware of it one way or another.

If anything, the bubble would have to be improvised...in terms for your personal comfort in order to get ahead and survive in some way. There are times where it ´s been so chaotic that you only care about those who are around you and nothing else. This was a year that has basically consisted in this pattern: save yourselves and make an effort for those who are around you.

In theory, that effort would be made by wearing a mask and taking cautious measures but...nobody said that one would need a psychological support too, especially to those who have had a loved one affected by this whole thing...

after considering that, perhaps you might value that surviving this whole year has more merit than one would give credit.

While it´s true that many people have decided to stay aside and don´t get me wrong, there might have been a few great stories, fics, videos, music and tons of pictures for anyone out there to enjoy.

Nonetheless, there would be one episode that would affect the main circles of the community (except for Fimfiction, relatively speaking) that would be worthy of a study: Derpibooru´s mess during the summer.

For those who have been unaware of it, I envy you because the more try to understand, the more you realize that it consists in an utter annoyance that reveals quite a bit about the decisions taken and the users involved. I am not going to put view on it over here but I will say that it has been quite exhausting to follow, pretty intense at keeping that tense tone. It brought even more uncertainty (As if there wasn´t enough) and no one could predict the ending either. It led to more inner conflicts and a certain amount of division, driven by politics.

That entire mess has led to the creation of alternative websites for hosting MLP images with the Philomena/Booru on Rails interface and the most positive outcome out of this is that there are several copies of your favorite images secured (working as archives) and with all the warranty to stay there just in case a site decides to get rid of them. While this department has been technically covered (so a fan doesn´t have to worry about any dramas of any kind when it comes to MLP material in the future), we´ll have to see if one can create a Nightmaremoon replace for streaming the episodes because some people cannot even have access by relying on DVDs and/or Discovery Family. I suppose that the next aspect to deal with is going to be that one.

As for /endpone/ itself, I would even wonder how such a small imageboard has managed to get this far.

Even with its periods of inactivity, this board has delivered more than 7000 posts and I wonder if this will stay alive for the 5 digits. For so few users and relying on quite extensive posts written passively (for the most part), that´s not a small feat.

There have been a few rules set, a few new stories to share (some of them displayed in the OP), a few episode spotlights and discussion about the show seen in hindsight, a small celebration for the 10th anniversary of gen 4 with the species that marked the spark of this 2nd wave of activity in this board (3 years since those posts in the first NMAiE), its own set of rules, an icon that has managed to get a short lived meme within the community (you can says thanks to the wordfilter) and other threads that would accompany this experience (NSFW, the /chat/ thread and the threads aimed for archiving files).

But for everything that has managed to happen, this board has always stayed there: between the mid point of staying either alive or dead; and while this formula isn´t the ideal one, it has managed to get through this period with this dynamic that it has managed to surpass any expectations set back in the day.

Anything coming from the outside might have been rough but this board... /endpone/ somehow has managed to earn that comfy status and considering all the uncertainty surrounding it, this place has surely worked as a column to hold onto.

I am not claiming that this place is the most recommended one to visit and definitely, not one that would be active all the time. However, it has its own appeal, relatively speaking and, while everything can be wiped out, this side project keeps going...

What a timeline, really.

I suppose that anyone who has been active and has kept track out there...yeah, one might have found some relief and one deserves a hug for making it, even if it´s for shitposting purposes only.

I would be surprised if anyone posted here or replied to me before the end of the year...

but I am celebrating it and I cannot believe we have been on this during 7 (+3 on /endpone/) years!

Merry Christmas,my little end zombies! And Happy New Year 2021 for this edition, first post of the year for me in advance.

But you are right. Nothing truly could make you think otherwise and trust on what I say...

First one is by Tridashie right? Second one I haven't heard before but is pretty cathcy with AJ. Third one it seems like a can recall. Like it was done by a artist who did this awesome castlevania theme in a similar fashion.

>I had never heard this style before pony music-videos started gaining steam.
I honestly want to do research this. For this is something I could totally believe with all those who started out as YTP editors.

>I grant you, the last two are covers, if you will, of existing songs,
Is AJ's always true not a cover? That's the only one I don't recognize though its in the middle.

>but I think the description holds true even I can't easily find further examples in my MP3 directory right now.

Neat, and better than nothing.

In my city, fireworks are illegal but it the law ain't enforced on my side of town much so it goes on anyway.

Oodorato2. I think most of their stuff is still up on YT. And if not, I have it all downloaded.

I consider that one to have been Oodorato's best. Perfect example of what you mention.

> I guess nopony celebrates new-years because it's not in the show?
I guess the vauge passage of many moons ain't the best indicator for something based our own one either.

You bet. I mean, even with all the restrictions, at least there was some room for fun.

>In my city, fireworks are illegal but it the law ain't enforced on my side of town much so it goes on anyway.
well, then you will get them in the surroundings at least. We went to the outskirts as well so we would avoid any possible complaints coming from the neighbourhood. Even with the regulation open to do whatever, we would avoid the closed off streets and pick an open area just to ensure everything.


>Indeed!

The first thing that I felt after coming back home was....comfort. After the fireworks, checking the health state of my contacts, the nice dinner with my family...

Just relief and comfort. 2021 will have yet to be defined but after 2020...I have just got a nicer feeling.

Dive into it and enjoy the process!

Alright, heading out to watch the fireworks, but as traddition:

>>7117
>Fireworks, depite being a cold and wet new year, tied with 2020 as the most I've ver seen.

Impressive, that must have been a breathtaking moment.

Even though I live in a village, the capital city's lasted like...basically 10 minutes. There was no one around in the main square (something that was never seen since 1936/7, completely empty)

So, visually I only managed to see them through the TV but there were plenty in the other villages/smalltowns as well.

What a trend your city is taking really. 2022's celebration is looking great with this path then!

>>7118
>Impressive, that must have been a breathtaking moment.
Indeed it was. From the horzine to a few that flew right above my house.

>Even though I live in a village, the capital city's lasted like...basically 10 minutes
You guys sound better than what I saw of New York's..

> never seen since 1936/7, completely empty
That's a haunting reason though.

>What a trend your city is taking really. 2022's celebration is looking great with this path then!
If it was this way in the wet and cold, you bet!

How about you CB. I know you live more in the country but are y'all gonna shoot any fireworks or anything?

>>7119
>Indeed it was. From the horzine to a few that flew right above my house.

Now, that's a true experience! Very nice!


>You guys sound better than what I saw of New York's..
I wasn't counting the time but it lasted way longer than I had expected. Like my family and I were about to set up the bottle of cider and the fireworks kept going. The TV presenters could barely find time to speak in order to be heard. It seems that they decided to spend most of the budget on just the fireworks and a little scenario.


>That's a haunting reason though.
Yeah, much more if you tale into account that during those years, the war prevailed all over the country.


>If it was this way in the wet and cold, you bet!
Well, another reason to be excited then.

>>7120
>but it lasted way longer than I had expected. Like my family and I were about to set up the bottle of cider and the fireworks kept going.

LOL. New York. Balldrop. Confetti. Camera panning around trying to awkwardly ignore the lack of people. Your legal fireworks show and my city's illegal one beat it by far it sounds like.

>>7121
>New York. Balldrop. Confetti.
It seems that I haven't missed much then.

>Your legal fireworks show and my city's illegal one beat it by far it sounds like.
Yeah. Well,look at that, it deserved to end/start with a huge blast honestly. No need to envy them then. You've got to experience them with a proper show, so did I.

And we are sticking with that.

>Camera panning around trying to awkwardly ignore the lack of people.

Lmao
The news and TV reporters have been announcing that detail for days. Everyone knew that the main square (Sol) was going to be empty and the camera showed many angles of it just to prove that there was literally no one. The police had to set up the perimeter a few hours before midnight and except for a little scenario for performing a couple of songs during the build-up, they displahed the entire square in its most explicit nature and they had to use clapping samples in ordee to convey the proper environment. We all knew that they were fake but those are made for the purpose of bringing a more proper feel for partying. Even the journalists who were there felt overwhelmed so we all have witnessed history right there.

Yeah, that makes it even more memorable. Not sure why NY has tried to make it seem big so awkwardly by trying to avoid the obvious.

>>7122
>Yeah, that makes it even more memorable. Not sure why NY has tried to make it seem big so awkwardly by trying to avoid the obvious.
To be fair, that was probably just a choice of the event organizers and/or network. The mayor there has been practically bragging about it half the time cause he loves being a wet blanket.

>>7119
>How about you CB
Don't have any.

Before I moved to the actual country, my acreage on the edge of the suburbs would prove quite the sight on July 4th -- hours of heavy rumbling, bombs bursting in air in every direction. From 9 until 1AM, it sounded every bit like a warzone should, as is fitting.

Here, it seems more sedate. In exchange, during the day someone is shooting a gun at least once in pretty much any average day. Usually just one or two shots, oddly. But the fourth here, was pretty blase. Couldn't see or hear much of anything.

It's mostly the one neighbor with the dynamite -- nearly a dozen sticks of whatever it is, shaking the windows every time. But just a few 'bangs' every half-hourish.
So far. We'll see what happens ten minutes from now.

>>7123
>To be fair, that was probably just a choice of the event organizers and/or network.
I suppose that they would do that in order to cover that regard because it was aired for the whole country. Most likely, it seems to be coming from them.

>The mayor there has been practically bragging about it half the time cause he loves being a wet blanket.

Well, definitely that's an approach which could come from either one of them or both.

>>7124
>So far. We'll see what happens ten minutes from now.

And this will mark the end of the tracking. Therefore, /endpone/ is going to dive into 2021 in its entirety.

We are waiting for you. Enjoy the moment, CB!

>>7124
>From 9 until 1AM, it sounded every bit like a warzone should, as is fitting.
That is exactly how I would describe ours as well.

>Here, it seems more sedate. In exchange, during the day someone is shooting a gun at least once in pretty much any average day.
Same in rural texas.

>It's mostly the one neighbor with the dynamite -- nearly a dozen sticks of whatever it is, shaking the windows every time. But just a few 'bangs' every half-hourish.
You weren't speaking figuratively then, eh? That sounds like it would be mighty startling to have the quiet interrupted like that.

I'm just assuming he's too drunk to keep track of the conversation.

'booms' lasted about a minute. Not really even two.

As to 2020, and the new year?
Pic related: (sing along, won't you?)
When you're rife with devastation
There's a simple explanation:
You're a toymaker's creation
Trapped inside a crystal ball
And whichever way he tilts it
Know that we must be resilient
We won't let them break our spirits
As we sing our silly song!

'Cause these chords are hypnotizing
And the whole world's harmonizing
So please children stop your crying
And just sing along with me

It seems there are more gypsies than just a certain pastry chef.

A approve.

And with that, while I'll be up a time playing video games, I suppose ... A good night to you all.

...that´s the main reason why I have posted >>7084 this post. That tone of self reflection was transmitted because when you take into account the amount of lives ruined because of this, I find it quite admirable that this board and the people (still) present in the community seem to be doing fine as usual. At least, the people who I know around my circles are fortunately doing well but they admit that 2020 has been horrible and what´s worse...

these other two explain the reasons behind the suicides. There are people who haven´t felt prepared for facing this period and that social distancing and anxiety built around this whole phenomenon leads to this. On top of that, if your company or small business goes bankrupt, there you have a lethal combination, psychologically (and financially) speaking.

I must say that (wet blanket comment), unfortunately, just because we are living in 2021, it doesn´t mean that things have magically changed overnight. There are people who have thought in a delusional way that this sudden change would happen. The best analogy that comes up from my mind is that 2020 has marked the Autumn period where you face the cold for the first time, with a very harsh transition throughout the entire process. 2021 happens to represent the full winter season (so far), the biggest change is that you are more prepared towards this situation (it doesn´t come as unexpected but just an acceptance, living with it as if it were normal) but you don´t exactly know with certainty when the light at the end of the tunnel will happen.

It will eventually arrive at that point but definitely this period doesn´t help at all for those people who are restless...

I wouldn´t understand at all if someone came here and posted while being drunk. I mean, I get that drinking a glass of red wine and champagne/cider for a toast are quite the tradition for that night but...

Shitposting randomly in a lonely alternative chan (out of hundreds of imageboards) for a day like this... I mean, where is the fun beyond doing it on /b/? One gets drunk with company, never alone (otherwise, that would be alcoholism. I hope that no one actually does this).

>>7143
>That last episode of dragonball heroes didn't bring the message home quite.
Don´t always expect that people get the references (especially when very boring people like me are around). Either it is related to the franchise (and even then, >>7131 getting Gypsy Bard took me a while) or very famous/well settled in general.

More than half the full episodes I've seen, were on the alcoholic, brony implementation of twitch.
Granted the developers that made it would shout and scream if they saw me call it that, but for relatability, let's call it that.
Although I grant you, it was a bunch of alcoholics gathered around collective computer screens to drink socially while alone.
But alcoholic bronies? totally normal.

Honestly, I prefer the traditional manner of going out to a bar,hanging out while having laid back conversation with two or three friends. But even then, when people around here in my country notice the edge, then one realizes where to stop. For the most part,young adults in their 20s (or even in their 30s) dare to surpass it in the urban discos.

I get that one watches certain media and plays the drinking game or said material is so bad that one uses alcohol in order to find it fun. But I don't share it nor I would find myself capable to do it.

I mean, while I have a certain amount of tolerance, I just tried to drink a tankard one afternoon (without eating for four hours beforehand) and I just couldn't finish it (I left aside a quarter of it) because I noticed that my mind was reaching that blocked state of consciousness and I had to be aware enough in order to come back home consciously. I am not an Asian when it comes to tolerance towards alcohol but because of my mother, I cannot afford to drink it so happily. Just very few degrees with a small quantity but I would never attempt to take shots while watching an episode (and that episode is What Lies Beneath, why does a fan need alcohol for enjoying it?)

>But alcoholic bronies? totally normal

Well, there you have (partly) the reason behind the "autistic" moments that fill up the brony cringe compilations and why depressions might be really intense around these circles. Unlike the presence inside a bar where it starts and mostly ends there, at home they leave a mark behind on the net sometimes (and not in a good way).

Oh well, everyone is free to do whatever but I find that pattern...concerning...

I have never even gotten drunk, though have tasted beer and especially wine, a few times.

>Oh well, everyone is free to do whatever but I find that pattern...concerning...
I know a lot who drink a lot alone and aren't abusing themselves with it. Though I, in my personal conservatism and with the thoughts

there is a huge problem when people assume that Fluttershy acts like an angel. Of course, she does behave accordingly to those standards that are proper of one:her bunny.

So, in the literal sense, yeah, these nights are going to look dark...because no one is able to see anything beyond a few meters! So, there you have it, starting 2021 with a punch.

I recall that /endpone/ reached 40 posts or so in one single day. Not sure if this board has beaten the 56 mark at some point. So you can technically take it as the new record for this board. As we don´t have ay data to hold onto, you can stick with this one for being more memorable than any other random day.

>It's trash, and though I've heard they have cleaned up their act somewhat, I don't think it'll be much better.

I...I can´t tell which industry is more messed up: either the music industry or the video game one.
Articles like that make you truly miss the old era of video games when they used to release complete games without bugs and passing through quality controls.

Not only that, but the industry in the 2010s decided to lean towards the direction of abusive microtransactions, lootboxes and paid content. All those practices that you find on mobile have been absorbed and are being applied on the big titles (the triple AAA games) and companies go fully rampant and while they get more net gains than ever (especially the CEOs) and the industry is more profitable, the direction that the industry has taken is just absolutely ridiculous. I could write a few paragraphs and extend myself why this industry is rotten to the core and how that hobby is quite expensive to follow and how they play with people´s psychology in order to suck more money out of everyone, including games meant for kids.

There will be a point in which politicians will study this matter and begin to regulate these business practices (for example: Belgium banning lootboxes) but in the meantime, the pay to pay system is going to stick around for a while.

>It is our trash though, and, in a era when the comics don't come often or you find "season 10" sucky, I can perfectly see the appeal of memeing and taking what few hints of a new concept it brings to table and running with it.

Not sure if pic related can even drown in the first place...

I am over here though, I should have left a couple of PoLS around here for these last few days in order to bring a sense of relief. If you want to accompany me by studying bioinorganic chemistry, there is a seat available and some room for more people.

Anyway, this is the board located at the end of the universe so, it´s natural to get that sense of fear and doom all the time. In fact, this site/board could have been wiped out at anytime. So, in any case, the question shouldn´t be when it´s going to actually end...but how it has even managed to stay in the same place for so long.

>>7196

I've just had IRL stuff arise.

>I hold out hope that America will continue to exist, but it's no longer obvious what our path forward will be. And yes, if America falls, the other holdouts will deteriorate into either chaos, authoritarianism, or become a lifeless wasteland like the last alternate future Glim-Glam & the princess worked together to create.
I think we are far from total collapse but near on a way of a repression/unrest of some form. I don't like to be hyperbolic but I'm not going to be blindly opportunistic either.

Yes, it has occurred to my attention that endchan coming under attack is a possibility. Been in on the fringes of my mind sense Christchurch and has only intensified after the summer. I've been shopping around for bunkers among other considerations among broader considerations on resistance to a possible repressive wave on the internet as a whole.

I will share this chart I was working on (it sucks, but it's only a very eary WIP).
Red is complete repression or near complete repression.
Orange is under strong attack/in progress.
Yellow is under mid level attack/scrutiny.
Blue is not under attack or strong scrutiny but while it maybe "safe" today it is only a few steps away from attack.
Green is safe/not on the radar at all.

And the horrible cyan to red backgrounds represents mainstream to underground.

Mixed colors represent complex situations, say, Tor, both "safe" and a hot bed for all the main players, or decentralized social networks, often run by complete SJWs yet the model itself is pretty resistant and useful for this time.

>>7198
I, honestly have some issues with the colors. You could make arguments for all the big social being a different state of bad. Should altchans be blue, with those crazy honeypots and other mysterious antics? It works for my example atm.

In this environment one of the most critical things will be keeping the "battle" on the larger social networks for as long as possible; hopefully until viable alternatives can be made and hardened. At the very least having a broad swath of the public off the larger social networks to the point that those social network and other services will be unable to control and be a all consuming filter. Ideally this would be alternatives large and small but in practice it maybe one or two "punching bags" gaining some stability while being a filter to a wider ecosystem.

Wait, what does this have to do with endchan and /endpone/ at this point? Well, perhaps I got a bit carried away in explaining the situation but the basic picture is that I have been alert and contemplating this and won't let it take down /endpone/ so easily or elsewhere. I maybe a unredpilled moderate compared to some but I do not intent to take this laying down.

>The discussion is cluttered because so many bots are there, and also it seems some ill-advised thread bakers are trying to direct the discussion ... to here.

Just a lovely winter Twi.

>>7200
indeed, it´s lovely.
However, Twilight needs the winter in order to complement her and stand out with the appropriate lighting.

For this picture though, one can only point out the only part that is lovely: just Twilight looking at the viewer with a smile. So, in case that there is no environment to accompany her, one doesn´t need to worry about it. Just her presence alone will guarantee you a pleasant time.

>>7208
> I honestly dig a green asthmatic ever since CB showed his format on his fics, I can certain see it being off.
the options from the bottom offer the other colors (even when there are special colors for a certain event). I personally use the Tomorrow* (mostly because it resembles the night mode the most). I don´t know why any user would be turned off,one can actually switch the background at any moment.

I also wanted to ask a little observation:

Does anyone notice the changes in the thumbnails? I mean, it seems that Endchan has gone through another image blackout (like it did in 2018) but the archives/images aren't damaged (you click on them and they are perfectly displayed)

The thumbnails randomly work each time I refresh the page. I wonder either if it's just me or if Odilitime has recently messed up the servers or Lynxchan because I don't remember seeing these random changes last month.

So I found a pony imageboard:

Interesting concept, but with all those crazy Dolphin honey pots plus google? Be cautious.

>>7221
>Is there any point in using it?
well, it has been created recently so it´s getting that initial boost in terms of activity. I don´t see the format as convincing as other imageboards. Nextchan provided more options that this one. While the concept of keeping the boards interconnected is something that sounds fresh (it´s the first time that I have seen this system in my limited experience with the imageboards), besides the Captcha relies on the technological powerhouse (Alphabet) that along with Apple domain the internet and serve as the editorial for setting up a global narrative...

...for that, I already have /mlp/. I wonder why they don´t use the one with the letters.

With that said, the attempt to set up a certainly uncommon system is appreciated.

that´s a real letdown.

Honestly, even though it has managed to snow over here, getting it within the exams period has turned out to be a psychological annoyance for me. Except for a couple of days, my life has repeated what you would exactly watch in a cartoon where the main character has to stay at home while other people are having fun. There is no need to be jealous because I haven´t done all that much and after the first two/three days, the following nights reached temperatures below -8- -10ºC and the snow became ice (and it became very tricky to walk through my village without relying on the roads)

You can bet that a snowball wouldn´t make much difference from throwing a stone to your colleague...

https://kidscreen.com/2021/01/29/my-little-pony-rides-high-with-new-cp/

>The Friendship is Magic series may be riding off into the sunset, but My Little Pony is saddling up for a new era with Entertainment One. Hasbro has big plans for the franchise, including consumer products tied to the upcoming feature film and a new animated series, My Little Pony: Pony Life.

>Following Hasbro’s December 2019 acquisition of Entertainment One, the toymaker appointed eOne as its global entertainment arm just in time to help launch Pony Life. The 2D toon bowed in late 2020 on platforms like Disney Channel and Cartoon Network.

>The upcoming CG-animated movie, meanwhile, is slated for a September 2021 release and will mark the start of the brand’s transformation—now under the purview of eOne. Not only will new pony characters be featured in the film, they will also boast a new CG look. The introduction of new characters and a departure from designs featured in Friendship is Magic and Pony Life is intended to shift the brand’s focus to more modern themes like diversity and inclusion.

>“The final season [of Friendship is Magic] brought that storytelling to a satisfying conclusion, and it felt like the right time to close that chapter of Pony history,” says Emily Thompson, VP of global brand management for eOne (previously VP of entertainment production and development for Hasbro). “Generation Alpha has a higher emotional intelligence, and they expect a lot more from their entertainment. We know it’s important to Gen Alpha that they see their peer groups represented in their entertainment, and that shaped how we built our core cast.”

>The movie’s main character, for example, is an activist working to make the pony world a better place. My Little Pony will be one of Hasbro’s biggest initiatives in 2021, says Casey Collins, SVP and GM of global consumer products.

>Upcoming toys will be informed by the feature’s updated animation style, and in addition to launching classic offerings like toys and apparel, Hasbro will focus its consumer products program on categories that saw significant growth in recent months, including food, health and wellness, puzzles and games, publishing, personal care and home goods. The first SKUs are set to hit shelves at major retailers around the world in August.

>“Consumer behaviors have changed so much due to COVID-19, and we’re taking a look at categories that have been spiking in terms of sales,” says Collins. This strategy of focusing on trends while still paying tribute to the classics also applies to eOne’s upcoming approach to content.

>“With the movie, we started development and made the decision to expand the world of My Little Pony, rather than starting from scratch with a total brand reinvention,” Thompson says. “We found ourselves with this whole decade of storytelling and really rich lore, and it felt wrong to walk away from all of that.”

>Friendship is Magic premiered in 2010 and ran for nine seasons. The series inspired a kid-hosted online after-show, as well as a live stage show. Instead of abandoning the franchise’s characters and stories, the movie will take place in the same world featured in Friendship is Magic and Pony Life, but jump ahead in time to focus on a new generation of ponies and unexplored corners of Equestria. This creates opportunities to include nods to the property’s previous iterations, both in upcoming content and consumer products offerings.

>“If you’re brand-new to the franchise, I think it will grab you and pull you in,” says Thompson. “And existing fans are going to be picking out Easter Eggs for months and years to come.”

>>7247

>Does this imply that /endpone/ can turn into the most fitting board for gen 5?
No, watch it be worse than that watch us be the only board that survives Gen 5...

>>7247
In all honesty, it being called Pony Life probably means Pony Life as a toy line did sell, how will this impact the plot? No idea. It would be awfully weird to make a new show spun off a movie exactly in the same manner as your old one. I would think it'd be a little grander in scope at least. PL though main appeal is its meme chibi qualities.

>>7271

>>7270
>they have Pony Life and the new show is called My Little Pony Pony Life That is just odd and concerning.

what the...? I have had to read it again and it´s true. They word it as if gen 5 will be called like that. Either the article mixed it up with the spin off (season 2 is being released) or they are going to repeat the names, which would overlap and cause some unnecessary confusions. It would be as confusing (and stupid) as Nintendo calling their next gen console Wii U and people believed that it was a complementary peripheral for the previous console.

>8... you need 8 at least.
how about using a big bucket and a barrel instead?

>I'm going to have to watch Pony Life after all if Hasbro suddenly decides it's part of the cannon, somehow

I think that time will tell us what they will be based on or how they are going to mix it for this new gen. It should take you a shorter time to catch up because episodes follow a 11 minute runtime, so maybe you could easily watch entire season in a single weekend (or even less).

>>7271
>>7272
>it being called Pony Life probably means Pony Life as a toy line did sell, how will this impact the plot? No idea
I think that Hasbro does an annual report later this month about their yearly economic development. However, I believe that Hasbro mixes the net income of all their 1st party franchises, not just MLP, and this might make it harder to spot if said toy line has turned out to be successful. I must say that there hasn´t been any toy line as deployed as Pony Life´s since the movie at least.

>PL though main appeal is its meme chibi qualities.
does this meant that they are going for the chibi toys with gen 5? If that works for them, then it should come as no surprise that they release toy lines with this aspect.

>>7270
>No, watch it be worse than that watch us be the only board that survives Gen 5...

Woah woah, hold on there. Surviving gen 4´s ending and 2020 has cost quite a bit and plenty of ups and downs that could have made this board disappear at anytime yet it doesn´t fall short in the insanity ranking.

But surviving the entire gen? For 5 years at least while other places like /mlp/ crumble? I have checked the data on 4stats.io and /mlp/ has returned to levels that resemble quite closely the activity displayed on late 2016. The board has managed to beat the numbers of 2018 and 2019 in these last couple of years so...

/mlp/ might lose interest in the gen because of "Insert any reason here" but we are talking about the huge titan that even recovers quite a lot of activity throughout the drama episodes. So, putting /endpone/ as the only board that survives...I buy that with 8kun but not with the mother of all the boards (yes, I know that other imageboards were created before /mlp/ in 2012 but you can see what i mean with this statement)

>>7273
If I understand it right, Hasbro's quartely report call or something will happen in a couple of weeks and we should know more then.

>they are going to repeat the names, which would overlap and cause some unnecessary confusions
Has happened before with Hasbro, with a series in a somewhat similar position too. Transformers Robots in Disguise was a quick replacement done to hold over while they worked on a new show. Though the new show wasn't done till much later in 2015, so it ain't a exact one on one comparison here.

>Woah woah, hold on there. Surviving gen 4´s ending and 2020 has cost quite a bit and plenty of ups and downs that could have made this board disappear at anytime yet it doesn´t fall short in the insanity ranking.
To be fair I was thinking of the fires of drama destorying everywhere else.

>/mlp/ might lose interest in the gen because of "Insert any reason here"
I actually think that is much less likely to happen because it is a sequel. It'd have to mess up in a very weird way to not have a hatedom following it at least as they make Twilight Sparkle a crazied authoritarian that needs to relearn her diversity lessons.

>>7280
>If I understand it right, Hasbro's quartely report call or something will happen in a couple of weeks and we should know more then.
yeah, I think that /mlp/ has dedicated a thread or two related to that report cal and even rumours that there could be news related to gen 5 so speculations are going to escalate as soon as either /mlp/ or EQD report something.

>Though the new show wasn't done till much later in 2015, so it ain't a exact one on one comparison here
but that would happen to be a similar case like it went for Samurai Jack with Season 5 or The Incredibles with its sequel, the amount of time given for both Robots In Disguise takes over a decade, 14 years of difference. Hell, they could even sell that cartoon as a reboot/remake of the series and anyone would understand that it´s a brand new cartoon, those two don´t overlap because they weren´t released next to each other.

Hell, Hasbro could even use the name My Little Pony Tales (and add of Equestria) for this 5th gen and repeat the same names from previous generations that aired more than a decade ago and that would be an understandable marketing move. Here, however, they are overlapping the names of a spin off that is currently airing and could lead to mistakes.

In the end, we will have the Derpy Hooves meme of Hasbro´s security department (with the leaks) when it came to their incompetence with the leaks that occurred in the later seasons and apply to everyone else involved in the marketing department as well.

>To be fair I was thinking of the fires of drama destroying everywhere else.
another /mlp/ and politically incorrect fags vs Twitter users? Why would anyone need superhero movies when you have guaranteed drama and people fall into the same clichés over and over. 10 years and there are going to be more dramas (as if Derpi´s one wasn´t enough).

Look, as long as they don´t dare to erase content or censor heavily among each other, if the duels don´t cause as much collateral damage as the last one or less than 2013, the community should know better than this. Oh well, the only thing that I can say is that we´d better get prepared as events come into play and check if said episode of drama could potentially hurt something.

>It'd have to mess up in a very weird way to not have a hatedom following it at least as they make Twilight Sparkle a crazied authoritarian that needs to relearn her diversity lessons.
fair enough. Although I must say that /mlp/, while not tame, they aren´t as savage as one might think. What you claim may be correct because the common interest that they hold towards the series are the waifus. Therefore, if they reuse the mane 6 and twist Twilight´s role like that. Not because /mlp/ dislikes evil characters or Twilight as the villain (in fact, Midnight Sparkle got its threads and even got pics of Twilight from fans of EQG) but because of the whole message of activism and remaking her character by getting rid of all her knowledge gathered in the 4th gen.

If they touch one of the waifus like that, /mlp/ users and even other unexpected circles are going to start, while not a fire, that radical change could forge some really tense situations within the mixed/negative reactions towards that direction.

>>7287
Actually I think that's Eris. Very well, I can blame her just as easily.

>>7287
>I don't remember saving them there. This is my work PC so I doubt very much I was drunk enough to forget, and I don't usually forget important details just because I was drunk anyway, and I haven't been drinking much this fall/winter.

well in a way, you have answered yourself. If these pictures had been truly important to you, you would have cared more about them. It tends to happen that whenever you are looking for pictures, click on them and save said material to a folder takes very few seconds for the whole process. Easy comes, easy goes.

>>7288
>Actually I think that's Eris. Very well, I can blame her just as easily.

I could also blame another draconequus for bringing an absolutely chaotic period as well...

Well, she actually has a short period of time for doing so...

>Let's hope Cadence don't case to much chaos. Maybe I need it though? certainly a bit too chilly in Texas right now.


Welcome to the club of places that get historical snowstorms this year (even though the snow around there will melt in a matter of days instead of weeks)

Just because Cadence feels as a safe choice to pick, she still holds a certain amount of chaos so I wouldn't get my hopes up at getting rid of chaotic events (maybe in a couple of weeks though...)

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MIKkI6Vxwsg

Anyway, I hope that everyone out there is doing alright.

Well, it seems that we are entering into the period where leaks are huge and people tend to intensify quite a bit the speculations. Will these designs become real for gen 5? Perhaps on Friday, we will get the confirmation...

https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/02/rumor-licensed-mlp-bedding-shows-off.html

Nonetheless, I think that these designs will get a few fan art pictures in the upcoming days while we are waiting for the official announcement. It has set off that interest in which everyone will find their expectations colliding with reality (Hasbro´s actual plans).Basically, Seth expresses very well what I would say about this potential style:

>Not only is it a completely different style from the other products scheduled for release, but the September release date puts this new bedding out in stores around the release date of the MLP Movie. Now we can't say for certain this is the new G5 style going forward and we have also seen that merch in the past has had a mixed track record looking like the media it is based on, but this is all very curious considering the timing.

Time will tell whether these designs are official or not but if you want to jump onto conclusions by overreacting immediately, you can already start...

This is Bridgefag. PoLS, still having some after stuff from the snow.

>>7308
I have a lot to say on this later...

>>7309
>PoLS, still having some after stuff from the snow.
and we are in March already! The fact that you still have to recover from that snowstorm speaks volumes about the state that you have found yourself in. Anyway, focus on that stuff first. Besides...

>I have a lot to say on this later...
can you believe that I still don´t hold any clear approach on this announcement? I could point out several aspects out of it but I haven´t figured out what to say as first impressions yet.

I would certainly claim that I have mixed feelings towards it so you can understand what I am trying to convey here in a way (but not in the traditional sense that you would tend to imagine). It leans more towards uncertain thoughts in general.

PoLMp.

Radiarc is musically detailing his 'shroom trip, or something.
The prose is poetic, but I have no idea what's going on. Music is good though.

yeah, PoLS for me as well.

>Music is good though.
I can confirm this. Nonetheless...

>Radiarc is musically detailing his 'shroom trip, or something.
I´d better avoid the obsession of genre tagging for trying to describe this. However, if I were to place my bets on it, I would claim that this sounds like a trip hop song, from an ignorant standpoint. I am not all that familiar with the trip hop genre (not enough for telling the defining elements that could make any piece related to it. I wish I knew how to discern all that well the electronic genres) but sound-wise, I would say that it comes close to that territory.

https://radiarc.bandcamp.com/track/ill-go
I can see it some here but especially here:
https://radiarc.bandcamp.com/track/there
As I walked, I began to notice shifts in the wind, and the sky opened to reveal a vast and ever changing amalgamation of vivid colors, some near incomprehensible. The fields were similar, stretching far beyond what I could see, the blades of grass waving in intricate patterns, changing with every step I took. I thought to look behind myself, but it was all the same, beautiful and all-encompassing, an atmosphere comprised of perfect harmony. I continued on, noting a greater sense of self than ever before, an overwhelming freedom surpassing anything I could imagine. I was alone, but it was as though I was one with the world. For the first time, I felt that I was whole...I felt everything.
It certainly sounds like a trip. The music produced is haunting and beautiful. I'm not a avid listener of all of his tracks butI've been a fan of Radiarc since this:
https://invidious.snopyta.org/watch?v=ahgCHftyO4Y
https://youtube.com/watch?v=ahgCHftyO4Y [Embed]
His tracks have always felt haunting to me and brought upon me strong feelings. Always felt a little sorry for'em to for not hitting it as big as some other artists despite a clear talent above many who did and his personal struggles. Haunting how he has stuck around the fandom for so long
including /mlp/

>And believe me I do what I can to see the beautiful, the haunting, the vast. But Radiarc is somewhere else
I remember being fascinated yet creeped out by drug trips since I was a young teen; would look up bad trips on some website devoted to the study of drugs that would allow users to self report.

My morality and my fear would never let me take such substances through I'll admit being drug free I've had my fair share of odd experiences and sensations. Most powerful though was a religious experience I had out in a field, but that's too long a story for now.

Where do I start with him? Well, I suppose that I´ll Go seems to be easiest one for me to approach:

>>7314
>I´ll Go
If we were to guide ourselves with the flow of this track, the downtempo/ambient nature of this track doesn´t have to be necessarily associated with a mushroom/drug trip. Just because an instrumental track portrays a feeling that the author wants to convey, it leaves enough space for the interpretations of each listener. Until you read this:

>It appeared benign, but I felt differently. All of nature, even so far as the sky above, waved softy in uncertainty, in infinity; it was as if I was peering through time itself, bearing witness to a place surpassing comprehension. A sacred place, perhaps, unfathomably far from any mark of civilization...

these lines DO describe a metaphor that he may be going through that phase of trying to find some kind of purity within his soul by relying on landscapes that are pretty common in the themes related to drugs. Still, if we were judging the track alone, it provides a relaxing mood with pretty whimsical passages.Immediately after listening to it, I couldn´t help but checking out Elegiac,released in 2001.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=VP5_HwlWJX4 [Embed]

You can see that the vibes transmitted over here are mostly the same and I don´t think that transmitting emotive instrumental music should always be associated with the mental pains of the musician who composes it. Said correlation shouldn´t be made because of the personal instances unless that the artist wants to put a heavy emphasis or themes throughout the productions. Any artist could do the same just because of the love of said genre without having to deal with that context in order to create something of that style.

But let´s imply that everything is necessarily correlated to drugs and a mushroom trip. Actually the track There is presented with an actual trippy part in the last third of the song that doesn´t last very much but:

There
>I began to notice shifts in the wind, and the sky opened to reveal a vast and ever changing amalgamation of vivid colors, some near incomprehensible.
>I continued on, noting a greater sense of self than ever before, an overwhelming freedom surpassing anything I could imagine. I was alone, but it was as though I was one with the world

considering the string arrangements (which reminds me of the track The Long Road (1983) https://youtu.be/KDwxm8AfqYg, namely in the last minute of the song) and voice accompanied with the repeated layers heard within the track, we are finding ourselves with a production of neo-psychedelia. In this case, considering that psychedelia was born out of the use for using psychedelic drugs and the heavy implications that the artist might convey, then we could perfectly imply that Radiarc might be repeating similar steps which Jason Pierce (Spiritualized) had to go through.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=p47V3w4m1yg [Embed]

He composed songs that portrayed the sense of reaching the space but feeling a sense of void from the inside. You get higher and higher but you realize that, despite the sense of greatness, there is nothing there.To sum it up, he made this 1998 production as a response of losing her girlfriend, transmitting those pains and relying on drugs behind his works. Radiarc, though,he relies more on events that transmit a sense of a flawed memory. If we take look at the Remember Me description, you can tell that before and after taking said trip, he doesn´t particularly hide it very much the implied meaning behind these lines:

>Tessellations and fractals surged through the flowers and grass, and I, too, emanated an aura infinitely intricate, yet idiosyncratic; no other soul was to be seen, yet I felt as though I was not alone
>The rest was a blur. All I can remember now are thoughts and emotions, and the beginning of a sense of clarity. Perhaps I did remember, but not completely. I was sad, nostalgic...I recall the scent of ashes scattered in the wind and a pain gradually welling in my heart.

I hope that Radiarc doesn´t follow Jason´s actions when it comes to the personal life otherwise, one could visit the hospital more than once

And I want to end up my thoughts by replying to what >>7315 says here:

>I remember being fascinated yet creeped out by drug trips since I was a young teen; would look up bad trips on some website devoted to the study of drugs that would allow users to self report.
>My morality and my fear would never let me take such substances through I'll admit being drug free I've had my fair share of odd experiences and sensations. Most powerful though was a religious experience I had out in a field, but that's too long a story for now.

now,this raises an interesting point that I should bring up. We are talking about an era where drugs were new and became quite rampant back in the 60s and the psychedelia genre and the way of living of those consumers and artists happened to deal with those trips.

Nonetheless, just because music induces to deal with those blurry imaginative trips, it doesn´t imply that both the artists and listeners contribute to those sense because of said substances. The soundscapes arise because of talent and as psychedelia has continued to grow as a genre, the artists can create said musical landscape that boost the connection and a fantastical environment that other genres don´t get to wrap up all that much the listener. This boosts the sense of beauty, getting drowned and completely connected with his music.

I could imply that Radiarc´s recurrent themes written recently in his latest releases might connect him in feelings in some way but unless that you know him in private or publicly states his life in his social media/interviews, he could be delivering the impression of a character and not necessarily his persona. We can´t exactly tell if he has been writing those paragraphs with a personal and/or artistic standpoint until there is enough evidence. We cannot clear up this fine line where the listener is left with an open interpretation, much more wide open considering that all that we´ve got are instrumentals with orchestral arrangements (Neo-psychedelia)

Yet I see people trying to replicate similar sounds or even styles that envelop the listener even further (shoegaze/dream pop, space rock,chillwave...) and I don´t think that they listen to it for getting an acid trip neither said composers have to live an acid trip for creating these landscapes. Neo-psychedelia, I will admit, is quite expensive to produce so I would understand why someone would stress out quite a bit because of the budget (although technology and these platforms have made it easier and cheaper to make, hence Radiarc might have been able to deliver all of this for a decade)

So yeah, I wanted to reinforce the point that certain correlations that settled the norm in the past doesn´t necessarily have to do anything that the people involved in it need drugs for consuming/creating a musical trip that resembles said experience (even if the original roots of this genre were spawned because of it)

>>7320
>Words and images are also part of what an artist presents to the world.
exactly. Keep in mind that you cannot exactly tell and apply the realistic perspective to it. It has to be judged case by case but if you don´t have any reference to keep track of his personal life. So said productions remains impersonal or even transmit the exact opposite of what he is going through.

I just personally disagree with the mindset of everything being taken as emotional purity of his thoughts. The feelings transmitted in the works are left on their own, just a piece inside the creativity of his mind. Nothing else.

>But so seldom do songwriters take the time to write a poem, or short story to be read as part of the song. It needn't be the thing the artist experienced directly, but they say in writing, "write what you know"
>Thus I assume that Radiarc is, indeed, going through some personal issues and letting us see a glimpse through their music.

watch out with that assumption. In literature, anything could turn out to be a lie. How do I put this? What the author pulls off in his creative outputs, you don´t know which parts are either actually true or not. The author can perfectly play with the minds of the public, it´s literally /b/ in a creative work. You could assume this interpretation and despite the reasoning, find yourself with the wrong theory. On top of that, poetry even intensifies that distortion. Poets are some of the greatest liars that you could ever imagine. All that you can find throughout their words are lies and people love to be lied....which is absolutely fine at the end of the day.

So, am I saying that Radiarc should be having a low self esteem period in his life where he expresses his actual sadness/uncertainties? Not necessarily. Robert Smith (The Cure) in 1989, composed Disintegration and he wasn´t living a bad life in comparison with what he went through in the early 80s with the goth trilogy. In fact, he got married and lived happy moments while creating that album.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=8ofquR1F5mg [Embed]

He just took the inspiration of the burning that happened in a studio (it doesn´t mean that he is not sincere about his fears/concerns about not feeling anything strong after reaching his 30s though). Smashing Pumpkins, more of the same, they deliver the image of an edgy band in front of everyone but at some point in their career, it didn´t match with their lifestyles at all.. and they admitted this in the interviews.


>I wouldn't worry directly.
yeah, me neither.
>I was just appreciating the artist's willingness to their their soul, and their trip, with us bronies.
now, that´s an understandable take. You are appreciating with this positive commentary his loyalty for sticking with the ride for so long. I think that said viewpoint expresses more about what you think than what he might be thinking inside his mind nowadays.

Anyway, I am leaving my comments on the board tonight right here. Have a good night over there.

>>7317
>I could have perfectly done that before typing the reply but I wanted to figure out on my own how to identify the genres out of an insane one such as electronic music
Oh, the chaos of musical genres.

>At the end of the day, any artist will do whatever they want and these labels become mostly irrelevant,
Unless they themselves stick to some hyper-specificity, say the genre has a really specific goal or defining trait, otherwise I agree, at least for electronic

>I commit the sin of relying on really known stuff of the past, barely visiting the site for checking out the releases,
Maybe in the /mu/ world but I'd say it's pretty normal to stick with what ya know and not reach out too much once you've reached a critical mass of stuff to listen to with a defined taste.

Anyway, on to the topic:
>>7318
>it provides a relaxing mood with pretty whimsical passages.Immediately after listening to it, I couldn´t help but checking out Elegiac,released in 2001.
Those are very similar in spirit. Only difference, in my mostly untrained mind, Radiarc has more instruments his orchestral background shining through a bit at points.

> I don´t think that transmitting emotive instrumental music should always be associated with the mental pains of the musician who composes it.
Oh, I completely agree, heck same could be said for a lot of trippy stuff, but I had heard that he had been having some actual struggles in life.

>Radiarc, though,he relies more on events that transmit a sense of a flawed memory. If we take look at the Remember Me description, you can tell that before and after taking said trip, he doesn´t particularly hide it very much the implied meaning behind these lines:
I mean, I suppose it could be a just a narrative, but usually when I see something that looks drug influenced by an artist it is at, least a little bit.

>>7321
>Nonetheless, just because music induces to deal with those blurry imaginative trips, it doesn´t imply that both the artists and listeners contribute to those sense because of said substances.

I happened upon it, her, the dark crystal in her. All at once.

Was it Zecora? It... She was next to me, yet there was something in the trees.

And it felt like her presence. Like her soul was beckoning me to leave my body and join her in the trees.

She was the trees.

It she though was both the most comforting presence I ever felt yet the maw of I huge beast that wanted to engulf my soul.

Then it a moment" it she was gone and my chance for eternity taken.''

See? I can do it too with no drugs. I don't assume with 100% it is drugs just that with that subtext in some of his words just my first instinct to take it at face value.

though consulting his descriptions and comments on YT reveal a darker drive beyond a trip:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=drs1tpkRQks [Embed]
<This song has a bit of a dark origin, but it's been on my mind for a while, and it was nice to finally throw myself at it. Not sure I have much else to say other than, for once, I'm really happy with how this came out, even if it isn't quite perfect.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=4FBQGrad-EU [Embed]
<This is one of the first songs on an album I'm working on, meant to be a follow up to The Fulcrum. I wasn't really too sure what to do for this, because everything I'd attempted just didn't get the point across, but it clicked eventually, after listening to other songs that dealt well with bitter souls and feelings of regret. It's kind of strange; I ended up taking a break from this to clear my mind, and when I came back, I just understood it because I felt it. I've been feeling rather isolated as of late both by and without choice, and I feel this is the lingering sentiment that I'll be leaving with. I don't know when, but for all of those that weren't there for me despite all the times I was there for them, I'm going, and I'm never coming back. I've sacrificed so much of my life for others that forget I even exist, and I'm done.

...Oh and a drug trip:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=iqO5hiKvI8o [Embed]
>I don't even know what to say about this, other than I've never made a song that I felt represented me more than this one. This is going to be the art used for the album when I complete it, and I feel it says everything I want to convey. I've gone through many things in life, but this year, I feel completely different, like I'm seeing a world that I couldn't before. And it's wonderful. The last trip I took was so beautiful and vivid, and I'm so incredibly positive that I'm on the path to live the life I truly want. It was surreal...it's as though I've never been happy before.

>
So yeah, I wanted to reinforce the point that certain correlations that settled the norm in the past doesn´t necessarily have to do anything that the people involved in it need drugs for consuming/creating a musical trip that resembles said experience (even if the original roots of this genre were spawned because of it)
This is still 100% correct though.

>>7320
>I was just appreciating the artist's willingness to their their soul, and their trip, with us bronies.
Indeed, and more than that. Though I still lament his lack of popularity I can respect that he stuck to his passion. So many left the fandom seemed to just chase bandwagons. Not to hate on them and it's understandable as a tactic of survival but the sounds of a FNAF cover just feel a little... soulless at times.

This is not to say that Radiarc can't leave if he wants or that I consider leaving a moral folly at all, just appreciation that he has stuck around and made music for us for so long out of what is a personal expression.

On the very off chance ya see this Radiarc, God bless you. I wish and pray the very best for ya wherever you go

>>7323
>Oh, the chaos of musical genres.
It´s an absolute mess to label everything. This past week, I watched a video about the origins of IDM during the 90s and that person, despite his knowledge and passion towards the genre, he didn´t know what theory of saying what could be defined as IDM and where it exactly comes from, which theory from music journalists turns out to be actually valid in the end. He gave up at trying to be so precise trying to explain it because there was such a huge burst in electronic music in such a short amount of time that there was not enough time to digest everything that was going on during that effervescent period in Europe for electronic music.

So even experts, journalists and dedicated people tend to discuss and find a lot of obstacles trying to define a line. Even for many people when it comes to most known genres, people use indifferently the label hip-hop and rap. You bet that this task moves into a chaotic territory like...all the time, basically?

>Unless they themselves stick to some hyper-specificity, say the genre has a really specific goal or defining trait, otherwise I agree, at least for electronic
or a movement, yeah (for example: krautrock, vaporwave..). What I meant with that phrase is that the elitism of sticking with one genre alone...I don´t use the these labels in that way but more like as a description in order to resort to an universally agreed word so I can certainly give an idea/point of reference to the reader of what it sounds without listening to it.

>Maybe in the /mu/ world but I'd say it's pretty normal to stick with what ya know and not reach out too much once you've reached a critical mass of stuff to listen to with a defined taste.
well, there has always been that elitism of defining users as plebs, contrarians and patricians; normally those who would reach the most underground circles would qualify as patricians. The problem is that many albums that /mu/ discussed quite a bit at the time have become popular in other music sites/circles and said material has gained a broader audience over the years (becoming very well known among dedicated music fans). So, most obscure stuff comes from either Bandcamp, Soundcloud and/or artists who haven´t surpassed a certain barrier of popularity for truly underground music. That´s where exploring artists becomes like an investment for trying them out, that´s my sin. I simply stick with the already discussed and known stuff (on music sites such as Rateyourmusic) because I can tell if those records are worth checking out and then, explore more if I want. I wouldn´t get to know anything of what I listen to without the internet though.

In my defense, I will say that in 2020, I finally checked out more post-rock (Sigur Ros, Talk Talk), a couple of Daniel Johnston records and especially, entering into the world of ambient music (and I thought that it would be boring, I couldn´t be proven to be so wrong).

Don´t think that I was a fan of electronic music until 3 or 4 years ago though. Nowadays, despite not listening to it all that much as my main preference, I have turned around my views and respect it much more than I did in the past. I didn´t realize what that huge world could offer because I thought that it would be boiled down to dubstep and noisy stuff (grinding the ears) but when one grows up, you realize that said world holds a much more fascinating spirit than my first contact towards that world.

Anyway, let´s end a little bit my blogposting here (even though I could continue if you wanted)

>>7323
>Those are very similar in spirit. Only difference, in my mostly untrained mind, Radiarc has more instruments his orchestral background shining through a bit at points.
before linking that track, I mostly linked it so I could use a point of reference and prove that nothing gets to be created in a vacuum, even inadvertently. It simply means that there is similar stuff that one might like and share something of that style in order to call Radiarc´s track Downtempo and Ambient so you could see that I wasn´t inventing anything for calling it like that.

I wanted to compare it with something reminiscent that I had heard before and wouldn´t stay all that far away from what I heard somewhere else. Still, all this exercise doesn´t intend to downplay Radiarc´s creativity at all. In fact, pushing the boundaries, moving forward, putting your own spin within the music...even if they sound similar, I still can appreciate perfectly when I hear both tracks. After all,what matters the most is that the artist gets to find his own sound,blend it with more experimentation (change) and reappropriate everything to their own with a different context (in this case,seen in the descriptions and not in the lyrics because we are talking about instrumental music)

>heck same could be said for a lot of trippy stuff, but I had heard that he had been having some actual struggles in life.
then that real evidence can actually be correlated within the context of his creative works because this would explain the process behind for that production. Otherwise, people wouldn´t get it all that clear even though drugs getting to interfere among music artists has become so recurrent and incredibly common since the 60s that it´s understandable why people would instantly think about drugs as soon as they notice a reference related to them...which is...

>I mean, I suppose it could be a just a narrative, but usually when I see something that looks drug influenced by an artist it is at, least a little bit.
...what you have claimed right here. Just don´t be surprised if it doesn´t always get to be the case of what you imply though.

>As CB said, >>7320
yeah, indeed. Just that I compared him with another artist who was writing about similar topics of transportation and actually composed orchestral music with trippy vibes like Radiarc does. Of course, I fall into the fallacy of A led to B, so C will arrive at B in the same way for being similar in terms of music sounds and themes when it doesn´t have to work that way at all.

>>7324
>See? I can do it too with no drugs. I don't assume with 100% it is drugs just that with that subtext in some of his words just my first instinct to take it at face value.
well, more than drugs, I would even connect it to spiritualism even.
What I mean here is that people tend to look at things too literally (I do this sometimes, I am not free of this pattern either) What I wanted to transmit with all my posts has been about judging the words in the literary sense. Like poetry does with repetition,rhymes, recurrent elements, how the words are structured, amount of syllables in each verse, the literary figures (metaphors, allegories, similes, hyperbatons...)... stuff that is completely independent of the context outside the creative work.

You can imply about the context/intentions from the author but that doesn´t always correlate that you will always turn out to be right for approaching it in that manner. In short, I meant that if you want to venture implying about some personal/psychological context of his words, that´s fine (music is often used as a therapy for many people). Just that I would need some real context in order to associate the work with the artist, finding himself in a drug trip and said context would help at understanding the work in a way.

>though consulting his descriptions and comments on YT reveal a darker drive beyond a trip:
oh boy, it sounds like something really personal is going on.

<I've sacrificed so much of my life for others that forget I even exist, and I'm done.
Why do I feel that I could say these words at some point in my life? It haunts me to know that I have known this sense in my life as well.

>The last trip I took was so beautiful and vivid, and I'm so incredibly positive that I'm on the path to live the life I truly want. It was surreal...it's as though I've never been happy before.
this would confirm it then (assuming that he is talking about his actual life and not playing a character or taking his personal context with a narrative of spiritualism)

>>7325
>So many left the fandom seemed to just chase bandwagons.
nobody has a contract to stay around really. Actually, I find certainly fascinating that /mlp/ has bounced back and become more popular/active within this generational hiatus,considering that the show ended in 2019. I expected that there would be fans who would hop onto other trends (and there might be quite a few who have decided to follow that path) and call it a day but nope, there are people still around...including this board.

>This is not to say that Radiarc can't leave if he wants or that I consider leaving a moral folly at all, just appreciation that he has stuck around and made music for us for so long out of what is a personal expression.

Besides, when you take this and other factors into account, you get to appreciate it more and I suppose that fan material of this kind is what, while this franchise won´t be respected from the outside circles,helps at giving this whole scene a greater value for those who are into it.

>his descriptions and comments on YT reveal a darker drive

The hidden truth about "write what you know" is that, you're really good at writing about your own experiences, potentially good at writing about vicarious experiences ... and we can all tell when you're guessing and/or just sympathizing.

That's a little harder to tell with music, because just like people respond to music differently, musicians interact with their music differently. But I still posit that you can't perform angry music if you've never been angry enough to justify the music and how angry it is.

When everything for a time from an artist is a little bit creepy ... it means they've been places they probably shouldn't have been. The particulars, and how it relates to the particulars in their art could certainly seem to divert, trading one tragedy for another, but the emotion it caused vs. the emotion they're causing should be, roughly at least, comparable.

I've seen that pan out too often to disbelieve it entirely, even though I remember arguing with my parents that listening to rock'n'roll didn't necessarily mean I was trying or planning on living a life of excess.

>>7333
>whatever plot device they come up with that justifies why they are in conflict.

Didn't take it as such.

It was a major reason why many, especially on the music side of things, tried to memory hole their work. Out of a fear as they moved up of it being cringe that would ensnare them and hurt them professionally.

Now, that is interesting. Have any examples? Sounds like me with drugs influences. Naturally one shouldn't assume that is always the case but seeing play out often leads you to believe there is a connection.

>In other news, PoLMp by Seventh Element. We had the Ministry Mares, In Her Mind, and the Equestrian Wasteland albums, all incredibly dark.
I dig it. Like many tracks, vocals a little amateurish but the beat more than sells it for me.

>>7334
>The hidden truth about "write what you know" is that, you're really good at writing about your own experiences, potentially good at writing about vicarious experiences ... and we can all tell when you're guessing and/or just sympathizing.

and what happens if those feelings translated on the story are imprecise or pretended? What happens if those emotions are heavily exaggerated? What makes you imply exactly that what the parts in which the reader emphasizes with the writer are correct? In this case, the artist is writing those descriptions are if they were personal, which make you believe that he is writing a diary and he is being honest to himself in order to not hurt his public image.

I am simply saying that even while writing about personal matters in a creative work, the writer/artist can shape or twist them with a lot of room for confusion and making harder at finding any sympathy that actually matches with said person (or the artist could do the whole thing for mocking at this practice).Furthermore, in a more twisted manner, the writer might not express his inner thoughts and instead, he could work as the messenger of other people minds/references/voices and you mistake the whole work as if it were his own mind.

The reader is completely at the mercy of what the writer wants to transmit but you don´t even know to what degree and therefore, I claim that interpreting the work just from personal assumptions, while they could turn out to be correct and say a lot at understanding said person, it could lead to a lot of misunderstandings (especially if said fans interact with him and are active on social media).

This might sound hyperbolic but, even though emotions are universal, your statement could be translated as: "In order to write about unicorns, I must feel and experience the life of a unicorn beforehand"

or even with music where interpretations are left too open and ambiguous for the listener to imply at first glance:

>musicians interact with their music differently.
well and that´s implying that said artists even compose their on music (it tends to happen with pop music but don´t be surprised if you find out that one member of the band composes all the songs or even an outsider member that does the job for them instead)
>But I still posit that you can't perform angry music if you've never been angry enough to justify the music and how angry it is.
is it a requirement though? I certainly disagree with that statement.

>The particulars, and how it relates to the particulars in their art could certainly seem to divert, trading one tragedy for another, but the emotion it caused vs. the emotion they're causing should be, roughly at least, comparable.
for the singer/songwriter label, I could see it happening really often.

>even though I remember arguing with my parents that listening to rock'n'roll didn't necessarily mean I was trying or planning on living a life of excess.
well,you could always blame The Rolling Stones as the scapegoat whenever that argument would come up though

>>7334
>everypony wore their mane like that back then.
woah, 80s synthpop, folks! Time to dance!

>>7336
>that pic
that´s more like it.

>vocals a little amateurish but the beat more than sells it for me.
well, there is a phrase of "All my favorite singers couldn´t sing" (and said singer who sung didn´t have a great voice either,ironically enough) and it turns out that . If you´ve listened to New Order for example, you would see that the beat and/or instrumentation are what make up the tracks and the singing works as another instrument. As long as the voice is serviceable (or it doesn´t sound terrible), this genre doesn´t demand very much when it comes to the singing so...eh, it works.

>Consumption is different than creating is what I would say.
agreed with that statement

>>7337
>and what happens if those feelings translated on the story are imprecise or pretended?

They look imprecise and/or pretended.

>while writing about personal matters in a creative work, the writer/artist can shape or twist them

What I've seen, mostly, is that the more they try to hide / lie / twist their presentation, the more they present themselves openly.

Do you remember one of the things I said about NaNoWriMo? It's like writing about dreams -- it exposes your subconscious, which is unfamiliar with/bad-at lying.

>"In order to write about unicorns, I must feel and experience the life of a unicorn beforehand"

Not disagreeing. Or at least, the unicorns in the audience would know you're faking it.

> >Consumption is different than creating is what I would say.

<I am pride.

Have I ... mentioned my age? Being 45 might affect this conversation. Maybe it's just the impetuousness of youth that insists the art and the artist can be taken separately. Or maybe that was a postmodernism that I never actually ascribed to.

>>7338
>and it turns out that...
...most of my music catalog, the singers of those albums I tend to listen to aren´t exactly very talented people with huge vocal ranges or voices that you would normally judge as any worthy member of any opera. Either the genre/the music they play doesn´t require much from them or they sing good enough for fitting into the song and it matches accordingly to the tone that they are singing. A perfect example: punk music

anyway,

>>7335
>Rather than giving something a chance you judge first by popularity, and though that may act as a filter on mediocrity but also discovering cool stuff. I actually have felt this with fanfiction before.
ironically enough, while looking for obscure seapony images (among images of the princesses as well), I have had to navigate through all kinds of stuff. I suppose that I don´t do that with fics and/or music because they would require more time than scrolling down a single page full of images (and this statement could be quite stupid because I could listen to a few songs of any new record while I am seeking those pics)

In reality, everything is mostly boiled down to passion, eagerness, interest and curiosity of exploring more; it´s unrelated to the mediums and accessibility. Either way, you´ve nailed it, I tend to consider Bandcamp and the unknown as a risky bet and a swampy territory where your job consists at finding the gems within the underground. Now, if you get to find the music that clicks and resonates with you, the feeling of discovery, at the time,must be satisfying.

I will also say that I didn´t start exploring music for real until late 2015, expanding my tastes and listening to experimental/diverse stuff and even after 5 years, I would only fit as the average /mu/tard at best. So, I had to catch up quite a bit in the matter in order to shape my tastes and push myself so I could have a minimum amount of knowledge related to the matter.

>Doesn't surprise me that their would be a lot still kicking but I expected things to bleed out more than they did for sure.

>Weirdest timeline.
not so weird if you consider the users who normally use it...

>It was a major reason why many, especially on the music side of things, tried to memory hole their work. Out of a fear as they moved up of it being cringe that would ensnare them and hurt them professionally.
exactly the same pattern that happens with the fanart. I suppose that the curse applies to all the departments. All lies within the same problem: the social stigma. Each time I see a line like this one, I certainly have the theory that, while a brony doesn´t have any contract to stay, it seems that there is an invisible rule where professionalism and social standards are sacrificed whenever you are into it. Otherwise, you would have to remove all traces of it in order to progress as an artist...and this doesn´t seem to go away anytime soon...

we are talking about a business and money here, so there is another layer on top of that social factor that enhances the likelihood of making said transition and said norm of removing MLP stuff becomes a standard by force. Either you swallow up your pride or no company will offer to you anything (unless that you found your own independent discography and create a market out of it).

>>7339
>you ... know you're effectively agreeing with me here, right?
as a standalone phrase, I agree. Within the context that was said here, I don´t share it.

>Maybe it's just the impetuousness of youth that insists the art and the artist can be taken separately. Or maybe that was a postmodernism that I never actually ascribed to

actually, no. The theory of this comes from a teacher who is specialized in literature and it deals with the roots of what´s literature (both the theory and its criticism)

Perhaps this discussion stems from the theory itself. Because for judging properly a work, the interpreter should be qualified enough in order to judge scientifically a piece of work without entering into doxology, moral or ideological territories...that is to say, said interpreter would have to study quite a lot for avoiding those traps and the scientific research of a creative work requires a systematical organization in terms of form and matter, connecting all the elements that come into play.

Literature doesn´t exist within the postmodern world because everything for a postmodern interpreter has to be related with phenomenology and psychology which prevent the interpreter to see any form of literature, therefore, the philosophical materialism theory considers that postmodern literature is an oxymoron by itself.

Now, what you´ve referred to the rest of your post means that...

>Not disagreeing. Or at least, the unicorns in the audience would know you're faking it.
>It's like writing about dreams -- it exposes your subconscious, which is unfamiliar with/bad-at lying.
>Being 45 might affect this conversation.
>What I've seen, mostly, is that the more they try to hide / lie / twist their presentation, the more they present themselves openly.

whatever you and I discuss...is doomed to not be literature and thus, we all have already entered into a hellhole that no one knows how to escape. We´ll never arrive at the actual form of interpreting it scientifically because we are all insisting in the psychological/phenomenological matter (especially the former)

As much as people want to criticize postmodernism, it seems that we (neither does 95-99% of the population really) aren´t doing any favor to get rid of it and you´re 45 (almost doubling my age, by the way). Your education and values (while postmodernism wasn´t completely shaped during the 70s) might have avoided many holes that postmodernism holds but it seems discussions like these prove that we are, in reality, pedestrians pretending to be intellectuals. Whatever we say here, it´s going to fall into postmodern territory for not making a proper research and judging/reviewing in a biased manner a postmodern franchise (consumption for the masses) such as this one (coming from the 80s)

We can all argue and end up staying convinced within our comfort zone but we won´t arrive at any intellectual approach of taking things in a scientific manner for taking the psychology of the author into account and taking any kind of relativism into account within the research (much less if said material was produced during this period).

And by we...I mean that no user is exceptional here from falling into the traps of postmodernism (not even the prompter).

>>7339
>What's the opposite of disappoint? Pride?
huh, not even a single word appears as an opposite for disappoint in my 2001 dictionary. Only with the verb, the opposites show up: entrust and excite.

>Have you checked out the rest of his album? Homage to the '80s all the way through.
yeah, I have noticed that the entire album is tagged as synthwave and it indeed follows the themes of the 80s. I wouldn´t be surprised to find out something that falls into the vaporwave zone.

>Whatever. Peace,

yeah, don´t worry about it.
I mean, maybe without this discussion, I wouldn´t have decided to ask myself several questions that I don´t normally think about. There has to be some discussion because…well, without any movement, this would look completely static so I guess that this board forcs (or at least, encourages) to push this forward in some way. I wasn´t looking for the victory anyway, the whole ride is what actually defines all of this because I believe that the thoughts displayed actually offer more than just declaring a winner.

It doesn´t consume all that much just that I´ve got to think about the post (and take my time) before delivering a proper response.

>and enjoy your weekend.
yeah, you too CB. Good night.

One note here
>When everything for a time from an artist is a little bit creepy ... it means they've been places they probably shouldn't have been. The particulars, and how it relates to the particulars in their art could certainly seem to divert, trading one tragedy for another, but the emotion it caused vs. the emotion they're causing should be, roughly at least, comparable.
In a way, this is very similar to the poststructural critical race theory somewhat marxist stuff that is currently in vogue. Their obsession with the authenticity of the various identities of the artists. For it is impossible for anyone but them to truly write or even know how to feel empathy for, said states without experiencing it.

What I'll say is that, I'm not sure how much I extent that too all art but I am open to those with experience in X usually or often writing X.


>>7339
>Have you checked out the rest of his album? Homage to the '80s all the way through.

I disagree on G4 being postmodern, but that would be opening up a can of worms that would require some digging on a few Pdfs I saved some years ago.

My first PoLMP and something a little easier to think on:

General Mumble - She's A Pony original or remix?

It is one of my fav early fandom songs and I think the original and remix have strengths in opposite areas that make it a interesting question.

Remix. I actually think I could post the some question with NambyPamby, having an original and a remix. Actually nearly everything has a remix anymore.

Here we have a picture that inspired a song. Not the usual order, but Pegasus-Device the song inspired a fan-fiction for it, so it's not unheard of to mix the order of creativity.
It's soothing. For about the first two minutes, the devolves into Pinkamena's problems of not knowing what's real.

>>7358
>either a relative's health has collapsed, or your parents are separating. I suppose there could be other implications but I can't guess at them right now.
yeah, you´ve nailed it. It´s the latter.

You can´t even imagine what has been happening and I have been thinking over the course of this past week. It´s very complicated to explain and putting all of you (or any outsider) in context with proper explanations... I would have to write like the length of that episode spotlight or even more. It´s not worth the effort because the whole situations has been gravitating around a rambling territory (besides personal and intimate matters that I would have to mention as well for getting it).

But yeah, in short, the procedures for the divorce are starting. Even today, I have had to rest mentally because the mental charge from extreme emotions or thoughts within my head have been changing in a matter of hours (especially from Tuesday to Saturday) and the whole situation has shaken up completely my mind as well as the familiar matters.

Tonight, I feel more rested and everything mostly boils down to managements and fortunately enough, the tensions are pretty much over.

>My parents talked about it, but after living in a motel for two weeks they managed to get back together.
I don´t think that this case will work out in the same way as yours did because in my case, we are talking about giving many chances to my father, eating up many shortcomings and problems from his part (that could have even cost us the house) and I believe that this one doesn´t stem from a heated decision but more of a progressive one that has been kept in silence for decades. It´s just that the bubble burst all of a sudden and it was bound to happen eventually, one way or another.

>>7343
>Post G4, still posting pone it seems.

>It's just so weird when I see people leave pony but maintain interesting in several other fandoms at once.
stigma for the most part. For example, you could be a freak in the 90s or 00s and be a fan of video games, leave them and join into a soccer club or the cool group of friends because those trends were more socially acceptable. Of course, many people were stuck with the geek stuff but the stigma was there.

But this will happen with many things really, just that on the internet...well, nothing is obscure anymore and MLP, while not accepted, I would say that if one looks a little bit into it (even the wikipedia article or comments on youtube; whatever that tackles a little bit the matter), anyone can realize that adults follow it...there is not much mystery beyond that. Everyone was caught off guard with gen 4 back in 2010 but I think that, among the internet circles at least, anyone gets surprised by MLP. Besides, trends come and go, one will have to appreciate and take care those who are into it for real and not just for the hype.

>I disagree on G4 being postmodern, but that would be opening up a can of worms that would require some digging on a few Pdfs I saved some years ago.
that´s a pretty bold statement and interesting to read as well. Many shots may be fired if you bring it up but at least, the board would get a little bit spicy with that topic. As long as I find the reasoning defensible and I get where that standpoint comes from, I won´t have a problem with that statement...but still, everything should be put into question,especially for a show which is interpreted according to personal opinions and not scientific interpretations.

>>7356
>You are not a fish, you're a human from somewhere or a carrot

you know, more than the statement itself, I smiled for a litte while after reading this because I realized that we are both recurrent shitposters on a backwater board that doesn´t follow the label "dead board" in the same way as many people among the chans consider at first glance. It´s pretty funny to think that this board can be like...one entire month inactive and then, in a single night, you get 50-60 posts and end up in the top 10.

I am saying this because you didn´t deliver any signs of life and it seems that the board, more than dead, it is always hibernating, stuck in a dormant state.

Given that you have posted what you like, maybe I should be posting on the other thread as well.
