i find you again.

[@diri__]

Yes, but it's my father who left me to fend for myself in the frozen tundra with nothing but a hatchet and a length of rope. I would have died if a pack of wolves hadn't taken me in as one of their own. But I wasn't safe, the wolves were robots built by my father to lull me into a false sense of security. I awoke one morning to find that he had slaughtered them all and left a message in the snow reading "I dare you to love again." But the message was actually written in ant pheromone. I was suddenly engulfed by thousands of rabid African ants, each trying to burrow its way inside me, to get to the queen larva my father had put in my cheerios.

I've been a Brony for solid over 12 years (started in December 2010) and going strong Make Your Mark (G5) isn't the same cultural phenomenon as Friendship is Magic, but it's still a very cute cartoon overall, definitely gets better with each chapter (chapter 5 releasing in about a week, seems very nice from the previous, check out the songs "It All Takes Time" and "Mane Family" from this chapter); if you're not an active Brony, I'd definitely recommend checking it out, it might reignite your spark my appreciation of My Little Pony definitely grew over the years and now, being an adult with an income, I hope to give back by providing stories and art, I'm learning to draw and write -- wish I did it earlier but my situation wasn't conductive to such hobbies I wish more creative people stayed in the fandom and more would join nowadays, we definitely lack a modern equivalent of Friendship is Witchcraft (whether it'd be based off G4 or G5 or something entirely new loosely based on MLP), I've rewatched it so many times, I wish they made more -- now that many Bronies became adults and started earning money, they could earn money off Patreon or something if they made a comeback, but I'm afraid it's unlikely the original Brony fandom was a lightning in a bottle, I don't know if we'll ever get anything like this, but I think the show influenced many people even if they don't see themselves as Bronies anymore and this way affected the society positively -- I remember how controversial it was to enjoy children's media past childhood or wear colorful androgynous clothing (the show defined my fashion sense in many ways and still does: Sunny Starscout encouraged me to try out braiding my hair and it's great, even if the society isn't yet at the point of accepting such brave fashion choices) as a guy when I started and now it's much better -- the change is slow, but I'm sure MLP influenced many people who became adults and now gain power over the society, changing it to fit the teachings of the Elements of Harmony instead of outdated laws of humanity
