How Long Will You Be A Brony?

Until the end of time... you can never get rid of the brony within you

A while, probably. I love this fandom, but even outside it I love collecting the toys and watching the older cartoons. Even if I prioritize other interests or focus on other fandoms, MLP will always have a place in my heart.

I will likely always like mlp and watch future gens. It's more like at one point I likely wont be as active in the community.

I have no intention of ever getting off the ride. This show and all y'all have done so much for me I refuse to even consider the idea of leaving ya'll behind again.

Hopefully not for a while. I’ve made a lot of friends from this community. Cute pastel ponies for life!

But that's like four evers!

Honestly, I'm becoming much busier with life as there are a lot of changes that I'm implementing.

Thinking back, I'm nowhere near as active as I was last year, but that's due to some recent changes and more coming up soon.

Whenever I have a chance to pop in, I make sure to say hello to some familiar faces and new faces as I still have a strong connection to the community. 

 I genuinely thought that I was on my way out of the fandom as I wasn't interacting too much anymore with MLP itself.

Not because I disliked MLP, but it's just that my life has been changing a lot gradually. As a result, this has been especially true in the past few weeks and it looks to continue well into the future.

However, thanks to a couple of friends that I made here on the mlpforums, we had several heart to heart conversations where they helped me return and find my way back to the forums.

I'm very grateful for those special friendships and everyone else that I met here. 

There are still many more fabulous and wonderful people to meet here and I'm looking forward to what the future has in store for all of us.

Like with some other fandoms, I doubt I would ever stop liking My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. It promotes that spirit of unity I find so endearing, images like that are the reason.

With some other shows, yeah, they can become stale or disengaging after a while, especially if their plot hasn't aged well, Pokemon being one of the examples of overrated fictions like that in my opinion because they basically force animals to fight for entertainment which is not kind, but MLP FIM is different, Mane Six learn to help each other through their problems and not be too judgmental about each other along the way, whether it's Rainbow Dash learning to accept Fluttershy's shyness and love her for who she is as a friend, not what she wants her to be in Dragonshy, in the first episode Twilight Sparkle learning the value of friendship and that there are some things she cannot do on her own, for Rarity to put others needs before her own wants like in Sisterhooves Social episode. Pegasisters, Bronies or a non binary equivalent, unite.

To see how much it has affected the community, where they value empathy enough to treat you well and be so polite to you, not bully you or harass you for having a different opinion, and calmly discuss each other's disagreements like civilized people, that's so beautiful.

Yeah I know I made a fan fiction where I imagined myself being reborn in alternate timeline Equestria as a Pegasi to find a peaceful existence with Ponies there, and to be nurtured to be kind like them, and nobody insulted me for this, just as I would not judge them for a similar fantasy which some fans I have spoken to, do, especially if they wanted to be in that fantasy world for the same reason, to be a good friend and not take advantage of others. Doesn't matter, my point is this, Empathy is not a weakness, and it should never be treated as if it is one.

No problem buddy, take your time, I know we can always expect you to show up from time to time, no matter if it's just for a short time ~☆

Well like a country song I know says "Forever and ever, amen, as long as the men sitting talking 'bout the weather, as long as the women sitting talking 'bout old men,"
