    Guys.... I know that I already asked it plenty of times in past, but..... after a really really really painful event that happened to me today, I have to ask you again, and I'm sorry to use a blog post for this but I really have to: people of MLPforums, do you still care for the Mane 6?

    I'm leaving...

    By Sly,

    Well.... this is it for me... I'm leaving not only this very forum but the brony fandom in general. 
    This fandom has become so unstandeable to me that I just can't take this anymore. The Mane 6 are some of the most inspirational characters ever, and somehow they've become overhated for whatever reason by their own fan... neither an entire season and a Movie that shown them all at their best changed this, on the opposite somehow they made them getting more hate... it's just disgusting. 
    I'm sorry if I sounded rude but I just had to take it out. I think it's time for me to leave... hoping that my taking distance from this fandom full of traitors and hipocrites will help me returning enjoy the characters as I always should have. Goodbye.

    The desire of writing this blog post came up after a series of events happened to me in the last weeks. I recentely finished watching the S1 of Hanazuki and I LOVED it, especially the finale which was a very deep and heartwarming ending to the season. The showrunner of this show, as well writer of this season finale was not other than Dave Polsky. Yup, the same Dave Polsky from MLP, one of my personal favorite writers of the series (especially in S3 and 4). It's great to see he hasn't lost any of his touch in writing in the years. Then there is another person, Rachel Vine, author of one of my 5 favorite episodes of any cartoon ever: The Flower from Wander Over Yonder. These two people recentely teamed up to write the special Mirror Magic for Equestria Girls..... AND DIDN'T GOT ANYTHING RIGHT IN IT. HOW CAN TWO SUCH AMAZING WRITERS DO SUCH A DISASTROUS STORY. ANOTHER TRASHY TREATMENT OF THE MANE 6 (This time the human counterparts thOught) IN FAVOR OF STARLIGHT GLIMMER?! REALLY?! HOW COULD TWO WRITERS OF THAT LEVEL WRITING SUCH AN ABOMINABLE STORY?!..... how can two writers like them being so good and so bad at same time?... I don't understand... I just can't understand....

    A weight on my coscience

    By Sly,

    Hi. For the first time I'm doing a blog entry NOT related to MLP, but it still involves my feelings personally speaking somehow.
    Let's start with a premise: as a gamer (mostly retro, pretty much completely dropped modern since the change of direction and the definitive death of Nintendo to me) I don't support emulation, all the games I possess are 100% bought in phisical or digital version (save for exceptions, I play retro ones with the latter thanks to the Wii U's virtual console)..... eeexcept for Rare's games from its golden age. 
    As many people know, after the N64 era, Rare was bought by Microsoft, which.... slowly killed, and its franchises are now Microsoft's property, with no chances to play their old games on Nintendo systems nowadays (the only games from Rare I possess legally are the Donkey KONG games which are all available on the Wii U Virtual console.... and Yooka Laylee, which while developed by Playtonic games, that developer is composed by the former Rare employes after they left it since Microsoft didn't let them doing a decent job, so I consider it a Rare game on every aspect). I really really really love Rare's games from its golden age, but I don't want to spend almost 400 euros for the One just to buy the Rare Replay with the full conscience I woudln't play anything else on it. So for those and JUST for those I use emulators..... should I feel ashamed for that? Or there is nothing wrong in doing just what I feel it is better for me?

    Hey there. This will be my last message on this forum. As you all know I've been pretty vocal about how the S6 finale ruined MLP to me and how I decided to take the Movie as series finale. As I lost interest in gaming and as I'm not hyped for MLP as I used to be (Movie aside) the teaser for the Movie was literally the only reason I kept staying axidually on Internet in the last months (I also watched other shows like Hanazuki, Tangled and Samurai Jack more moderately but aside that I did not anything else on Internet aside constantly refreshing some paged with the hope the teaser appeared). Now that it has appeared (althought it didn't show the things I expected) I think I have no more reasons to stay axidually. The next trailer will take months to appear, and I already know all the dates for the upcoming episodes of MLP and the other shows I'm watching, so I've no more reasons to stay.
     
    So... I Guess this is it for now. I don't know if  I'm gonna return in future. Time will tell. 
    Goodbye guys. May the wind of luck blown on you in your life.

    Hey guys. In the last months I've been very vocal about my hate for the S6 finale, how it drove me to depression for weeks, how I told so many many many times that I was gonna quit after the Movie, and all that stuff. A lot of people told me that I have some serious problems.... guess What? I do, and I'm fully awared of that, but it's better you read this to understand better what is my problem:

    This is an open letter I wrote to the people who are working on the MLP Movie right now. Its content will explain what I've been throught in the last years and how I'm desperately trying to get out of it and start over again....
    Yeah.... I really messed this up, and I really want to put an end to this.... all my rants were just negativity "discharges" I needed to do, order of not freaking out in real life...I'm very sorry for all the problems I caused here and on various other sites guys. I really am...

    The S7 is gonna start in a month from now. Yay.....
     
    You know what I established for me: just the first 13 episides of the season, then the MOVIE... then I'll call it quit from MLP. Feel free of doing what you want, but MLP is gonna end in 7 months for me. You already know my reasons behind my decision, I'm just doing better thing I feel I can do.
     
    And now a music fitting with the occasion.

    What I actually want...

    By Sly,

    Hey guys. In the last months I've been very vocal and annoying about how the S6 finale disappointed me and drove me into depression for the Mane 6's treatment and all that stuff. Aside the fact my reaction was EXTREMELY EXAGERATED, after my disappointment for that abomination I understood that was time for me to quit MLP and move on something else. However, in my heart I'm still a fan of MLP and the Mane 6 and I don't really want to leave remembering them as six great characters ruined by the same thing that ruined other series I loved in past (change of authors.... see what's happened to series like SpongeBob, Metroid, Crash Bandicoot exc.) so I really want an high note story for the Mane 6 before I leave this show definitively. But why I rely so much on the MOVIE for that and not on the other seasons? Two resasons:
     
    1)After that mess of finale I got convinced that the chances of seeing an high note story for ALL the Mane 6 (not necessarily a two-parter anyway) will become more and more and more slim, and this is why I want to watch only the first half of the S7 anyway. On th3 contrary, for the Movie has been said THOUSANDS of times that the MANE 6 will be the centric characters, and that's why I rely so much on it.
    2)A completely random and unknown selection of writers and story editors: almost all the writers from the previous seasons are ALL gone, good S6 writers included. Gillian Berrow, Nick Confalone and the Fox Brothers are the only ones left, and by summing all their S7 episode together you don't get neither the 20% of the season (between all of them you get just 5 episodes out 26, all the others are written by completely unknown writers), I surely can't rely on such people to get what I want. On the opposite the Movie has Jayson Thiessen and Meghan MCCARTHY on it. Two of the five people who made this show amazing in the first place for me (The others were Larson,Polsky and Rogers).
     
    Let's cut this short: I don't really want an epic ending for MLP I just want to leave the story of the Mane 6 on an high note, and while the Movie offers a lot of interesting things the main show never did like a gorgeous animation style, new locations outside of Equestria and new characters and species, all I really want from it is just seeing the Mane 6 at their best a last time. Now you understand why I was so vocal about quitting with the Movie?

    Hey guys. In the last months things have been pretty hard and rough for me in deciding what to do for MLP right now. I said it plenty of times: I suffered so much because the S6 finale and how it treated the Mane 6 like garbage, I couldn't stand that happening again, and while I already decided to quit with the Movie (which is looking KILLER in every way from what I've seen so far) the thinking of watching the S7 and risking of feeling like that again gives me the Heebie Jebies... Also, doesn't help the fact that I've heard rumors that the S7 is gonna start on April 22nd, and that means that considering the half season hiatus, and eventual empty weeks, it's not gonna end before the release of the Movie in theaters.... so here's what I decided: I'm gonna watch only the first half of the S7 and then I'll go directly to the Movie which will be for me the series finale. Gonna pretend everything afterward never existed. I think it will be the best idea to keep both my phisical and mental health and my love for this show and the Mane 6 for the years to come. Not mentioning that the "big episode spoiled the Toy fair" will be more than perfect as last episode before the Movie for me.
     
    Don't judge me, I'm just doing what I feel I need to do.

    I'm seeing A LOT OF drama on Equestriadaily because the new characters or some of them. For all I care, these new characters are just good extras to me, what I REALLY want from this Movie is seeing the Mane 6 at their best. As long I see that, I'm fine with the new characters, and I'm not worried of any of them stealing their spotlight. But anyway.... am I really the only one who is in this position?

    Help....

    By Sly,

    Guys.... usually I don't let anybody making decisions for me, but this time seems like I'm FORCED to make an exception. Before we get to the question I'll make a premise: by the end of this year (probably slightly after the MLP Movie) I'm gonna completely stop following videogames and cartoons, and I'll just occasionally replay/rewatch what I got by then. Why? Several reasons:
     
    -As you know I've fallen in depression because the S6 finale and the way the Mane 6 were treated in it (despite I loved the rest of the season);
    -I had several problems in several communities of both cartoons and videogames;
    -Videogames and Cartoons I know I can enjoy are going to be extincted very soon;
    -As I got my degree in Computer Engineering two months ago, I'm gonna start a new specialisation course in a few months;
    -I want to start keeping money for my future, so I don't want spend anymore money in videogames.
     
    Right now I'm doing all the preparatives for my retirement: retrieving all the videogames I can like that I missed in the years available on PC and Nintendo Consoles (game cube games aside as I don't possess any way to play them) and even some Cartoons I already loved in past. So far all my preparatives have been great and I retrieved almost all the games I wanted (Amazon and Steam Sales helped very much) and even the few cartoons. Now it's just a matter to buy the few games I kept on eye that are going to be released by then (Zelda Breath of the Wild, Nier Automata, Yooka Laylee, Sonic Mania and Freedom Planet 2) and finish to watch the three shows I'm still watching (MLP, Star Vs the forces of Evil and Miraculous Ladybug) and then I'm done for good....
     
    ...however... in all of this.... there is still... a thing I'm in the doubt... as you know the MLP Movie will be approximatively my stop for everything, and I'm actually really optimist and excited for it, especially after all the news about it that are coming lately.... on the total opposite.... the S7... despite I loved the vast majority of the S6, its finale did much worse damages to me than just killing my hype for the show after five years.... probably you might have noticed, but I've been pretty overwhelming in past about my suffering because the finale... and my annoyance was reflected even on my closest friends here on Internet.... they broken up with me... I can't let that happening again. The MLP MOVIE will be the perfect solution for everything considering all its great premises..... but it's 9 months far from now, and I don't want to stay with these feelings for all this time, so I could just rely on the s7 for now, but at the same time the premises for season 7 look worse and worse and worse every day passing, and the risk of making me suffering again and even more are high...
     
    let's cut this short: should I give the S7 a chance by risking of suffering more, or should just skip it and going directly to the Movie and ending this once for all. Please help me guys. I'm serious. I really don't know what to do....

    What's happened to me?

    By Sly,

    Hi guys. A pair of weeks ago I opened a topic where I expressed my disappointment in the S6 finale and how it made me deciding quitting the show after the next year's feature movie, but now that's not anymore the main reason I want to quit the show after that:
     
    As I pointed in my own topic, I've become too much attached to the show and the Mane 6 (especially Twilight) during the last five years of my life since they've been really hard for me, and I knew I would have reacted bad if something happened to them... but I never immagined I could have suffered of real pain if that happened, like it happened in the finale. After my disappointment in the S6 finale, I suffered so much: I've fallen in sadness and depression for weeks, I've passed several days of insomnia, and I also passed most of my daytime standing in my bed alone in the dark (literally, with lights turned off) "drunking" myself of replays of videogames. It's not something I'm proud of, at all, I mean taking this show and its characters too much at heart to the point I suffer if something goes wrong with them. I think I became too much attached to this show to the point I can't watch it anymore without feeling bad is something goes wrong with it, but it isn't fault of the show itself, or of the writers.... it's just my fault. I let this happening to my own mind because without realizing I went way too far with loving this show like if it was a reason of life, it's better for me to quit it before I hurt myself seriously. However, I'm still a fan and I'm not gonna leave now on a really sour note, I want to quit the show on an high note. Luckily the next year's Movie will be a perfect candidate for that, and with Thiessen's direction, McCarthy and Hsiao's writing exploits, Ingram talent with music, Dart's leading in art direction and Michel's experience of decades in animation and special effects, saying that the Movie is in good hands would be an understatement. I'm just worried for the new season is gonna come in the meantime, since after the S6 finale I've not many hopes for it despite having loved 23 of the other 24 episodes of the S6.... I'm still gonna give it a chance anyway, but as I explained, I can't take the risk of suffer because a cartoon and its characters anymore, so I'm still gonna quit after the Movie even in the eventuality the S7 proves me wrong.
     
    Long story short: I'm gonna quit after the Movie because I've altered my mentality and I can't watch this show anymore without suffering if something bad happens to it or the Mane 6.
    I hope you guys understand.

    Emergency approach

    By Sly,

    Hi there fellow MLP fans. I've decided to take Pirate Pony's advice and I've decided to open a blog to discuss about this. Anyway if you read this locked topic I made the other day https://mlpforums.com/topic/159108-quitting-after-the-movie-rant-inside/
     
    you'll know that I wasn't a fan of the finale, at all, because the way the Mane 6 were treated in it, and for many reasons this is giving me A LOT of healthy problems in real life, whatever just read the topic, I hate to rexplain myself every time. But anyway, The reason I'm doing this blog entry it's I need an emergency plan: like I've explained in the topic, I'm gonna quit with the next year's feature Movie, the problem is, while I've zero worries for the Movie itself, there's a S7 in the meantime and I'm afraid what happened in the S6 finale is gonna become the new norm for the main show, so, keeping in mind I'm gonna aknowledge almost every episode until Top Bolt anyway, in order to have just good memories of the Mane 6 once I quit the next year, I need to plan an "Emergency approach" if my fears for the S7 will come to reality.... any suggestion?
