Awww thank you! I appreciate you as well, and I love reading your well thought out content when you post it.

I am the same way with not recognizing people after name changes! (You’re one that’s easy to remember for me though cause I remember when you were Heasol and that’ll show in the history of course). I’ve only ever changed my name once, but I do change my profile pic on the occasion though I’ve had the longest stint where I haven’t, which now reminds me I think it’s time for a change of pics soon.

I haven’t been able to see notifications for anyone’s status updates for a bit now. I really hope it’s a glitch and not permanent. Reading status updates of those I follow is my favorite thing to do on this site, and if I can’t easily do that anymore it will significantly reduce the amount I continue to partake on this forum.

@Astral Soul I found a setting I can see em now. Only catch is I get a notification every time they post anything even on thread topics. But it’ll be fine for temporary till the glitch is fixed

Good :> They will fix this soon, I'm sure

Has a bad episode ever ruined a character for you?
AppleButt replied to ggg-2's topic in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
Does the moment Discord became “good” count? If so then that. Never liked him after he was reformed, and don’t know how the ponies ever put up with him. -
Notifications don’t seem to be working.

Thanks! And that was just where I edited the pic to cover the logo of where I work.

Car parts gotta get to Mexico somehow. Always enjoy working my forklift skills.
I also enjoy older jets with these old school fuel gauges. (McDonnell Douglas DC-9 for anyone curious)
These you can stop pumping right on the dot. With modern jets it’s digital reading, and you have to stop pumping a few hundred pounds short of the requested amount and wait for it to catch up so you don’t go over.
Not that the pilots care if we go a couple hundred pounds over, but these older gauges spares us from that same feeling of when you’re trying to pump 5 gallons of gas even at the car pump and you end up pumping 5.029 or something.

A question I continue to ask myself is “Is Season 9 even worth it?” I still haven’t gotten myself to watch it for an array of reasons. Mostly because the show (especially the mane six) meant so much to me, and seeing it and all the adventures they have together end will be emotionally devastating for me. Another reason though is that I kinda have spoiled myself of some things about the ending that I’m pretty positive I’m not going to like at all, and will just be salt in the wounds to the sadness I’ll feel when it ends. I don’t want to see it end, MUCH LESS see it end, and I don’t like it.
I know, I know all things must come to an end, and perhaps I’m robbing myself by not watching it end, but at the same time it’s also really really hard to let go of the fact that after all these years of being a fan, there’s still something new to it for me that I have yet to see. Perhaps it’s a feeling I want to keep forever, even if it means not seeing it. Perhaps I don’t want to see it end, so I can pretend it ends how I want it to.
It makes it harder that I’m certain there will never be a show again to elicit the same feelings that G4 have given me. G5 sure as heck ain’t gonna do it.
That’s about all I have to say. I’ve always felt a little weird for feeling the way I do about it, but it’s how I feel.- Show previous comments 5 more

@Samurai Equine Thank you for the advice it was nice to hear, and I think you are right that I shouldn’t let it control my life.
I think part of the fear about watching it end is cause it feels like the end of me, too. It was hard not to get invested into it for me. What I am about to talk about is not a topic I like to discuss cause the forum is touchy about the subject, and I don’t want to make others sad, but perhaps mentioning it will give more insight to everyone on why I feel about this as strongly as I do.
I won’t go into detail, but at the time I discovered MLP I was in a very dark place, and only still alive due to a fortunate circumstance that prevented my death. Then the show came and I was immediately hooked. It gave me a reason to continue, it gave me that glimmer of hope that I could be excited about something again. I don’t want to lose that glimmer of hope. I’m kinda scared of going back to that state when/if I watch it end.
Anyways I am sorry, I don’t mean to be depressing, or unload on you, but after reading your advice, I think it’s better I seek a professional about my issues I’m having regarding this. As you said I shouldn’t let it control my life, and I think I am letting it do so too much, and a forum can’t really help in this situation.
Thank you. *hugs*

I'm sorry to hear it, my friend. I didn't know you when you were going through that phase. I only know you now, and from what I've seen... You're a survivor, my friend.
You have a job in aviation, you are clever and so smart too, and creative as well. I am glad MLP was there when you needed it, but I am convinced nothing will take you that easily.
I also don't believe in the idea that you'll never find something special ever again. It can be sad when your favorite thing is no longer going to have episodes or official content. However, even if it takes a while, I genuinely do believe you can find something else that charms you the same way. I won't tell you how to judge stuff, but I am convinced something will come along again that enamors and charms you. It happens to me plenty of times.
It's a lot like falling in love, really. No one wants to get dumped or be part of an unsuccessful relationship (it sucks even more when you get dumped more than once). The heartache you feel can make you feel like you've failed in life, that you'll never get another chance, and that all hope is lost. However... If you manage to pick yourself up, see how awesome you are, and look forward to a brighter future with possibilities (like what you could gain instead of what you've lost); you just might find that you can fall in love again some day. The things you felt never ever have to be limited to one time only; and there's always room for something better. I should know. I've been through about 4 failed relationships in my life. I could have given up after the first one, but I still found the inner strength to go on; and I've learned the world is my oyster. Right now I've been single for the longest amount of time I can think of; but I still believe I'll find that someone special out there someday. As long as I keep moving forward and being me.
Sorry for going off like that. I know relationships and TV shows are two different things, but I like the think the advice still holds up.
Perhaps getting some professional help would also be helpful. Either way, I know you'll find a way to see things through and be all the stronger for it. (Hugs) Good luck, my friend. I'm cheering for you.

My apologies for keeping quiet on this. I was so busy yesterday that I didn’t have time to respond but I made sure I saved it.
No matter what, it’s your decision and I occasionally come back to one or two episodes that I think are worth it. The opener and the finale before the finale are good examples. But as for the finale itself, don’t watch it. It will only upset you like it did for me. I’ve only ever watched it once. There is some good stuff about S9 but there are a lot of decisions made that have me shaking my head and shouting at the screen, ‘What are you doing?! You’re making her separate from her friends because you want her to be ruler? Clearly none of them want that! You heartless mare! In the very first episode, you let her stay!’
I had no idea you were in that kind of place before you found the show. I was going through the exact same thing. And the fact that it saved us is incredible. If you ever need a friend to talk to, I’m always around if you need me.
*mega hugs*

As more time goes by I dislike it more and more. Perhaps it’s because I was one of the show worshippers who for awhile thought the show could do no wrong, and it’s the reason that for the first time in the entire show that I was proved wrong, and legitimately hated an episode that I’ll never watch again. (On more than one episode). They sacrificed character development to prop up the stupid students that came along with it, and pushed aside The Mane Six who were the sole reason I became obsessed with show in the first place. Like Non-Compete Clause. I don’t know who the f*** those two ponies were in that episode, but it wasn’t Rainbow Dash or Applejack. That’s all I have to say. -
What cutie mark would you like to have if you were a pony?
AppleButt replied to Dashy 4 Ever's topic in Sugarcube Corner
A blank flank cause I have no idea what I’m doing in life. -
What was the fandom like back then?
AppleButt replied to Skylight Scintillate's topic in Sugarcube Corner
Been a fan since summer 2011. Was extremely active back then and you couldn’t go anywhere on the internet without seeing a reference. It’s slowed down now and the ones left are folks who are really dedicated. Nothing much else has really changed about it.- 31 replies

My dad noticed my mouse pointer which is shaped like Rainbow Dash flying, and said he really liked it, that it was neat. They’ve known I liked the show ever since I started watching it as a teen, but my dad has never acknowledged it. Which is no big deal, but I always kinda thought that maybe he had the stance of “That’s a little weird, but you do you.”
So hearing him finally acknowledge it, and it being positive felt pretty good, and a little weird too cause he isn’t really the type of guy to like stuff like that, haha.
-
I mean I probably would just for fun.

I was talking to coworkers earlier and suddenly one asked “Cory, are you a brony?” And I was like “
…… yeah…. How did you know?”
And he pointed at my Apple watch with Rainbow Dash on the screen. It apparently lit up randomly and he saw it lol.
Welp guys I guess my cover is blown….

Your favorite pony wants to live with you, do you let them?

Question is who WOULDN’T let them? -
Did season 6 drive a lot of people away?
AppleButt replied to Drunkfrank's topic in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
I mean probably a few. It was kind of a boring season for me. I'm not easily driven away from things, but I'm sure others were. -
Been a minute since I’ve posted here. I don’t really take all that many photos of myself so I’ll go with the last selfie I took.

How do you refer to yourself regarding being a MLP fan?
AppleButt replied to LongGoneGr's topic in Sugarcube Corner
I just call myself an MLP fan. I’ve never really liked the term Brony. -
Work has been wearing me out lately. A lot of why I haven’t been as active lately as I usually am. Not even lately really, it’s been the past couple of years. After the initial start of Covid it slowed down significantly for a couple months, but then after that it became a level of busy here that I’ve never seen before, and only seems to be getting worse. It doesn’t help that the employers always take forever to decide if we need extra help or not, and we’ve needed it bad for awhile now. I’m getting burnt out.
In fact, I’ve been thinking about leaving lately. I’d hate to leave right when they’ve made me supervisor, but before Covid hit I was looking at applying to a unionized job at an Air Force Base nearby where I’d be fueling planes there. I’ve also been thinking about maybe trying to get on with the airline here as a flight attendant. I know the pilots and people, so I feel that may give me a leg up.
I dunno. I hate making decisions, and I am scared of change, tbh, because happiness is very important to me, and while the jobs I’m looking at pay more, I am afraid of whether I’d be as happy doing them or not. I like my job now, it’s just been a bit tough lately, and I don’t get paid what I should, tbh. I wish life was easy, I really do.

Mhmm this is also been tough situation.
I think the important question is whether you are happy there or not since this is the most important point at a work.
I'm not too sure bout the circumstances since I do not live in the states, but if you get better conditions at a new place, I can understand thinking bout it.
A good way to find a decision would be to get in contact with a new place and find out the details. This always helps me to find a decison

Ive been a fan since summer of 2011 before season 2 came out, so I was far from late. It sure is nice seeing that it still pulls in new fans after all these years though.

Jumpstarting a WWII era biplane was an interesting way to end the work week. Never done that before!
-
Caught a ride in a private jet today owned by a large corporation based in my town. They were doing a maintenance test flight and let me come along.
(After I made sure the problem they were testing for wasn’t serious, lol)
It’s moments like these are what make it hard to leave my job. Nice customers and unique experiences.
Spoiler
Did a go around which was pretty neat.
Not quite as fast as Rainbow Dash, though.

What is the best/worst MLP fan-made animation you've ever seen?
AppleButt replied to Kitty_Cat's topic in Sugarcube Corner
Best: Too many to name. Those that stand out are Lullaby for a Princess by Warpout, Remembrance by Argodaemon, and Mane Six vs Mean Six by Space Oddpony. Worst: Anything grimdark or similar. (Cupcakes, Smile HD, etc) I appreciate the work they put into it, but it’s not my thing.
Just don't try to kill anyone with that forklift.
