How can you stand the wait?

[noplsno 124]

I breezed by every episode in less than a week and waiting for the new one is taking forever!! I mean, how can you guys stand this. What do you guys do to keep you occupied.

 

I practice drawing most of my day and would like to be professional. So tell me, what do you guys do for entertainment!

[Scootalove 10,689]

I usually just listening to music on Spotify and play video games. The wait is unbearable, but I will pull through this. As everypony is my witness.

[AustralianFries 213]

In all honestly, it's not much of a wait. It's really just two weeks. I mean, just spend your Saturday like any other day there's not an episode...

 

I usually spend my time on the computer, drawing, playing video games, hanging out with friends, more computer, getting things done, computer, eating, longboarding, snowboarding, football, american football, computer, ect...

I think most bronies who joined the fandom before the end of season 2 see this as break as nothing much, given the several month break inbetween seasons. (I personally joined just before the beginning of season 3 so i didn't have as long to wait) but then again a pause is a pause no matter the length.

 

But to answer your question; I usually read a lot of fan fiction. I am not really artistically inclined so I don't do much art. But I do listen to brony music and make dances to them as well

I got bored, brainstormed, and came up with a few small things to code. Also, other cartoons. Go on an Internet journet to find a cool subject, there's lots of stuff.

Well, I have to go back to school which is gonna suck, because I've been staying up past midnight for the last week. School should make the week go by faster. I've been getting into Lost, so I'll just watch that until the new episode.

[Commander Urdnot 2,680]

You just gotta Keep Calm and Flutter on. (See what I did there?)

 

But yeah, just keep doing what you usually do, and try not to think about it. Waiting sucks, but MLP is definitely worth the wait.

[Harmonic Revelations 8,835]

I play Oblivion, as well as playing it I continue development of my MLP mod for it. It takes up quite a bit of time, so it helps me endure the wait for new episodes.

• Roleplay (I'm Discord!)

School

Look up Fluttershy and Discord on DeviantArt

Force my parents to watch MLP with me (its going well actually)

Draw ponies

Try drawing Discord

Try and get my book published.

[Winona the Dog 1,984]

Dude just relax and read some fiction. Surely some of the more popular stories should keep you occupied while you wait for the new episodes.Or play some pony games like Filly Fantasy III or some other kind of mods as they will take awhile to complete. Trust me on this when i say you can wait a 2 weeks for another episode.

[Stellafera 3,836]

I joined during the summer of 2011 and finished the episodes some weeks before the Discord two parter, so I understand how you feel for sure!

 

I play video games and watch other shows. Right now, I also work on PMVs. Annoyingly enough, the video I'm working on is a Fluttershy one. *prays that it won't have any clips that fit way better for the lines than the current ones*

Maybe try your hand at fan art or fanfiction too! There's loads of fun to be had and tons of friendly people in the community.

Simple. It's called endless fanbase :3

 

There's literally limitless fanon out there. Go enjoy some of it, and it's really suddenly not hard to wait for episodes.

[Just some guy 1,070]

Play video games or do work.

 

I can honestly live without MLP for periods of time.Though I do admit,the stretch from S2 to S3 was a bit brutal for me.

[Twiliscael 3,960]

Ponies do not have to be the focal point of your existence, you know. Personally, I occupy myself with music, video games, other television shows, studying, hanging out with friends, etc. The wait in between episodes is relatively short, to be honest. Especially if you had to wait the 7 months from the conclusion of season 2 to the opening of 3. You'll get acclimated, I promise.

Ha ha, a friend of mine made a PMV with the song Rock You Like A Hurricane. The next week Hurricane Fluttershy came out. There was much facepalming and rage. May this not happen to you.

 

As for the question, if you need more MLP then just swing by Equestria Daily and Fimfiction. People are pumping out cool art, music and stories every day. And if you can't find anything then just hang out on the forum, we're pretty nice people (mostly)

[cuteycindyhoney 13,307]

To be totally frank, what I'm waiting for is Doctor Who resuming in APRIL! Waiting a couple extra weeks is nothing compared to that! 

[Jordan Dash 31]

honestly, i have no idea how I can get through the wait between episodes. I don't even know how I go through the ... 8 month wait for season 3...

[Zygen 6,066]

I sometimes watch MLP or parodies aswell as random other subscriptions of mine of different games and stuff. I also play games have school to do, practice my trumpet and other stuff.

 

Its still pretty hard.

[decoherence 183]

I was a little heartbroken to discover I wouldn't be getting my pony fix this morning. I'm currently travelling for work (like usual...) and I've actually been living in our office in Ottawa for the last couple of days. Had the whole place to myself so I got caught up on what the community is doing and learned the basic chord progressions for two RC88 songs (Twi's and aj's themes). I should sleep now as I'm flying home early tomorrow, otherwise I'd try and figure out gypsy bard. Maybe one more short fic... Can't sleep... There's too much new pony out there that I need to see NOW

[Lando 80]

It's a pretty short wait in comparison to others ( such as the gap between season 2 and 3) but anyways, I've just been doing school stuff , hanging out with friends and gaming. Nothing gets rid of the no pony blues like paper mario or AC3.

[Moon Rat 4,772]

In all honesty, it really isn't that much of a wait as we have gone through this before...

 

It's really kind of nothing new.

I tend to try to sleep in or play video games whenever (I just got the Ratchet and Clank collection for the PS3 so there's some awesome patience power right there )

 

if you have ever completed any video game that you enjoy and still have access to, I would say play it all over again

 

That should maybe buy you an extra few days or maybe even a week or two depending on the game

[Appetite4Democracy 452]

1 Word: Minecraft.

I waste all of my time on Minecraft.

Today, me and the other members of the Equestrian Gaming Clan built Sweet Apple Acres in Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition.

[thegetitguy 0]

The wait makes me go insane. This haitus is horrid. But i Practice Drawing And animation in my spare time and Play retro games while Rp as my oc in skype....so all is good XD

[Retro*Derpy 3,183]

There is so many things you can go do while on the internet is ridiculous. You can, play website games, go on youtube, netflix or hulu, post on mlpforums, rage comics, memes, etc...

[Jghx5 33]

To be honest I stop caring.  I just get out of my minded and just go about my day.  I just wait until they get on youtube and still don't watch until a few days later.  I say just talk a break, relax and just do something else.  Helps me when I'm waiting for something to come up.
