Hola Amigos!

 

Hope you've been well!

 

Here is a short and sweet life update!

 

Despite going through some arduous times with the SoCal wildfires, our family is safe! We’ve helped out some relatives and friends with relocating as they unfortunately lost their homes and businesses to the fires.

 

Regarding MLP - I noticed my interest has waned like the community’s the past year. With G5 ending, I noticed that many people have left the forums and/or have moved to other platforms. I still enjoy keeping contact with people despite everyone’s busy schedules and life changing.

 

Recently I finished G5’s TYT episodes and really enjoyed them!!! However, what I don’t enjoy is toxic fan behavior that goes against the core values and themes that MLP stands for. I think every single generation has its own incredible features and when you try to compare them, it throws all of that out the window. 

 

If you want my personal advice? Go watch G5 (or any generation for that matter)with an open mind and just enjoy cute ponies. 

 

My life has been a complex mess with managing: aggressive job hunting, pressing family matters, and navigating difficult relationships. However, I’m still moving forward and keeping myself positive like a real tried and true MLP fan.

 

Your friend,

Starlight

I noticed that too, well I tried to enjoy tell your tale but it's really not my thing, but it's good that you liked it, don't care about those who criticize you for liking it. I still dislike it, but for me it's really bad when the show is cancelled, I think those who enjoy it deserve to see the ending of the story. People mostly left the forum after Make Your Mark ended actually, I noticed a good bunch of users disappearing when 2024 started

But I'm glad that some like you decided to stay, keeps this place alive and also my interest to stay, still praying for things to get better for you, please stay strong ~☆

That's understandable and I respect your opinion. It was annoying last year when people were sending me walls of text in some G5 discussions and then through DMs about liking G5 as if liking it was taboo. I think many G5 projects were never actually planned as Hasbro had never intended anything with G5 based on the initial ambiguous interviews from executives and the remarks found from the financial statements from the past few years. I think some people were expecting way too much from a cartoon specifically catered to children. There were a lot of factors at play and there is not enough time to break down everything in detail. Even though TYT episodes were around 5 minutes each, I enjoyed watching the fun little adventures from the G5 gang.

It was sad to see some people go and I even considered leaving at one point, but there are still plenty of lovely users(you included) that I enjoy speaking with here despite no new MLP content. I was considering rejoining social media to keep myself more in the loop with some things, but also for a personal project.

Thank you and I appreciate your prayers. I wish things go well for you and your family over there as well. :hug_day:
