a short goodbye


Friendship_Cannon

1,631 views

Hey, everyone who reads this,

you probably will have figured out what I wanna say in this blog (the last one of the few I've made)...

And that is: goodbye.

 

I'm going to say farewell to this forum and to this fandom, at least in some sense of the word.

I have been thinking about it long enough now, and before I completely lose my faith I better go.

 

As I joined here in Summer 2012 I was pretty down, I had a lot of problems...

This place helped me a lot. For the first time I met people who are not judgemental, who didn't hate or look down on me for my dreams and beliefs. I have never been part of any community before, always a bit of an outcast (ohmygosh, so sad ;n; am I rite), so that really was a great thing for me, and I will not forget this.

 

Now, I spent a lot of time here, made friends, watched them dissapear again (kick, ban, leave), had good times, bad ones, made enemies (wouldn't it be boring without?) and tried to be nice and friendly, love and tolerate and all that sh** I thought made me a "Brony" (lol).

I can admit that I failed on the long run, though I haven't been the most terrible person around here, and I might have made one person happy for a while, so yea...

 

What I miss as of now is this warm feeling being here and being around you people gave me, I have no real friends on here anymore (sorry if you think so), I talk to noone on a daily basis, I am not a roleplayer (not in that way, in another way I am, if you get it you get a cookie, but 3/4 of you won't ;3) and apparently I am bad at talking to people in general, not to mention that the love and tolerance thing seems like a sad, little joke by now. Basically, I lost everything that made me feel comfortable here in the first place, while I'm doing pretty fine in real life, actually.

 

I don't wanna go into detail about how being a furry changed the behavior of some people towards me... just to the matter of beastiality: You watch ponies. You have pony OCs. You roleplay with them and wish they were real. They date, they marry, some of them have children on here (I am not kidding, hilarious, huh?), and all of those ponies have fur, you know, they are animals?

The differences are small, but who am i even telling this? Tolerance is a thing that can't be learned easily it seems, and I am really noone to teach anyone.

 

Another thing is the part of clopping or as a furry, yiffing. I really don't wanna say much about it, if it's disgusting to you stay away from it, but don't just blindly hate on it and the people doing it (or go ahead, you are on your own way).

 

I could end this with how dissapointed I am, but if I would there would be some smart-***es (you know who you are, guys) telling me how perfectly fine everything is, and that I am putting up a drama (okay, I am, I admit -.-). So just: bye.

 

To put a point under this:

This Sunday evening I will log out and be gone.

If someone feels like staying in contact you can reach me over steam and skype:

 

skype: Skye_Cannon (or try luki-mx-)

steam: Selena the Wolfcat

 

Greets,

We were never friends, and never even interacted afaik-however you are a poster who's presence in a thread made me stop and read it. Your approach to people seemed balanced and based in acceptance and tolerance-and I appreciated that.

 

I wish you the best in whatever you plan to do-but also realize that you added to this place. You don't necessarily need to interact with people on a forum like this, for them to value your presence.

 

Take care.

Although I am happy for you, that you are doing better irl. I am also profoundly saddened that I missed a chance to make a new friend. :'( 

 

Whatever it was that you needed here, you have found it...And now it's time to take the next step in your journey...

 

Fare thee well, kind and gentle stranger...Return if you may, to warm yourself at my hearth & home.

 

F.G.

I feel exactly the same way. I completely understand why you feel you need to leave. If it means anything at all, I consider you a friend. I hope to continue to interact with you on skype and steam.

 

What's even more sad is that without a doubt, someone is going to make a smartass remark here.

It will be sad to loose our favorite cannon.

*hug*

You will be missed.

If you return here, you will have a hug from this guy. :3

I... don't know what to say.

 

You were one of the first people to welcome me here on the forums. Back in May when this place was definitely different. I guess the only things keeping me here are the fact that I can't talk about ponies elsewhere... and that my life outside of the internet is even less delightful than here.

 

I know I didn't talk all that much to you, but that one PM helped me. Really. I was to afraid to reply again because I didn't want to appear like just some guy who changes his opinion in no time. Or as someone who ignores his problems in the end and still cries "Woe is me!" I wanted you to know that.

 

I guess there are still some people on here that will miss you. Count me in. Just knowing that people stay on here helps a lot to actually think of this place as an community.

 

Good bye. And good luck.

I understand your reasons... I'm not active here much anymore either, pretty much only stay to check on people's profiles, following the learned routine...

 

I do consider you a friend, and would love to stay in touch with you. You're one of the people I'd consider ,,true" bronies, as silly as using that kind of name is. And regardless of whether you stay here or not, regardless of which identity is closer to your hearth, this quality is something that endures.
 

Shoot me a msg either on Skype or Steam (I added you, should be ,,Nouthghule" or ,,Nouth" or something) when you feel like talking, I'll be happy if you do :)

Yeah, you know, I feel the same way a lot of the time, but I'm happy that if you no longer feel this is an environment you are comfortable in you're walking away. Good on ya.

You are a great member here, and I will miss seeing your posts; you were always so concise and not up-in-your face.

I'm sorry for all the times I called you bipolar.

Have a good life, meng - hope to see you again. I will add you on Skype if you ever want to talk to someone.

I don't post an awful lot of stuff in forums.  I know that people can be disappointing sometimes.  I think you're a really likable guy.  :)  I hope that all these responses tell you that there are still good people here who will accept you just as you are.  I guess you can call me a true believer in all the good things that the show has to say.  Wherever you go, never forget them.

 

I'll leave you with this thought:

 

“When I say it's you I like, I'm talking about that part of you that knows that life is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive. Love that conquers hate, peace that rises triumphant over war, and justice that proves more powerful than greed.”
― Fred Rogers

I'm sorry to see you go, man. You were really one of those folks whose posts always commanded my attention, even before we were friends. It's hard to convey through text just how disheartening it is to know that a handful of intolerant, ignorant members are responsible for making you feel so unwelcome that you feel the need to leave. A sad truth is that there'll always be a few bad apples who like to spit in the face of the civility and tolerance that keeps our collective sense of community intact...I've encountered a few myself, so I more than understand the urge to get away from it all.

 

That said, I'd more than like to stay in touch, so expect a Skype add from 'The Thrashy One'. smile.png
