Misty's Ponut and marepussy are PINK just as her belly, and hoofs. Maybe just a little bit darker on tone, but they aren't blue.

I like these threads, op, thank you. I love writing and coming up with stories and my own lore that's lore friendly with the show. I enjoy the world I've built where Anon has married Celestia, making her Queen Celestia and him King Anonymous. Yes, it's a stereotypical self insert aie, but I don't care. It's my imagination, and I can do what I want with it. There is no wrong way to fantasize. King Anonymous isn't the only thing I write about, obviously, but it's definitely a favorite of mine.

I can't explain, but I feel like some threads pop up specifically to show up on those PTS videos. They all have a very similar format and somewhat similar replies

I want to be sandwiched between them

I just had the stupidest idea for a pony video
but I would need a comprehensive collection of trixie voice lines
or at least the most entertaining ones
I need soundbytes
for reasons

Since ponies can eat grass and flowers, how much sense does it really make for one to go hungry, specifically in the cities. A character trait in a story I'm planning out relies on a character having been without a decent meal for a few days but I'm having doubts if it's really believable

>>42739548
Good feed isn't really as abundant as you might think. Sure they can just walk around and eat the floor, but where is the good feed? Typically it's in dangerous places that are patrolled by predators IRL. Feeding carries an inherent risk to real horses, they are vulnerable and distracted when they are eating. In addition, good feed is not just grass, it's a variety of herbs and forbs and wildflowers. Horses can get a bad tummy from eating just rich grass, they need a variety. As well, in an urban area where lots of Ponies live, all the good wild feed would already either be eaten, harvested, or trampled. Imagine living in Manehattan and trying to get a good meal off the floor; it's gonna be pissed on, stepped on, spit on, and garbage thrown on. Even in non-urban areas, the climate may just be unsuitable. Horses that live ferally are often starving and have to be humanely culled so they don't suffer.

100% believable IMO. Horses starve every day IRL.

>>42739548
They would sure view window planters in a different way.
I imagine starvation is a rarity, unless it's in a deep urban environment or in a wasteland, but foraging on grass would be utterly flavourless, just sustenance to keep going, with no enjoyment.

There are threads that are obviously made to be featured in PTS; like the "let's see what's on /mlp/ tonight" one.
That doesn't mean they can't be fun, though.
As for the rest, I think it's mostly ritual posting or just a small number of active posters keeping things going.

>>42740726
What do you mean by ritual posting? Like the pony-specific generals?

>>42740722

I am extremely melancholic about ponies. I got onto the ride June 2011 and have never turnt my back on horses. However I do admit that I have had a couple of years up until recently during which ponies, aside from some adjacent musicians, didn't really have any real presence in my life. But now some serious social circle drama has transpired and I find myself more alone than I have ever been, and I can say this is through no fault of my own. My only fault was young me not procuring friends in school because I was the literal Underground Man. I realize this fault and strive to alleviate it but past sins are not so easily overcome and course corrected. I am alone. I do not want to make friends with rand0s on discord, I don't think internet friends are real friends, at least not to me. This loops back to the ponies, I am hinging on them like an addict does substances. They're so cute, they're so perfect, they're pretty, kind and unjudgemental. My corrosive and flippant nature can't find fault with them, only their non-existance sullies their presence in my life. And I realize this is crazy, I should not be lamenting the ponies like this, I am an adult human and I should have other things to worry about, but I don't. I have nothing to worry about aside from wtf my purpose is because right now I am not having fun. I have read enough existentialist literature to realize what I am experiencing isn't new and up until now I thought I actually had a pretty firm grasp on life. Forward momentum, wise choices and what I thought was a stable friend group and family. Losing thy friends really does snuff out your passion for life. Life is what you make it to be and no one is going to knock on your door and fix your shit. But I don't want to "fix" anything, my life was grand and I had all I wanted, I lost it through sheer circumstance and now I've got nothing but a healthy body and material goods. Life is nothing without people to share it with. I have no friends. And I don't think I'll ever get new ones. I don't know how to. MLP isn't indicative of what friendship is, it never was. But the mares are all I have. I feel myself slipping and I'm not even a man enough to embrace it and go to a motherfckn convention. I'll rot in my cellar.

>>42742187
Haha for a second I thought you were being serious. I wish you were... if only.
>>42742075
1-2 (You)s is all I expect and all I get most of the time for my creations. I don't expect getting more would make a massive difference, as long as the number isn't 0. That would suck. But I mostly agree with the sentiment, it's just easier said than done, especially with greens, there can be a lot to read from different writers, hard to support them all.

it's basically been said already, but I wanna butt in anyway: it can reasonably happen ESPECIALLY in big cities. in ponyville you're never far from a meadow or a tree, but good luck finding anything in Manehattan.

>A character trait in a story I'm planning out relies on a character having been without a decent meal for a few days but I'm having doubts if it's really believable
Up in the mountains it's all bare earth and rocks. Or the character went through the Everfree Forest and didn't know what a pony could survive on in there.

>>42742308
There is absolutely nothing wrong with escaping as the anchor of your life, but I'll warn you about a thing: if you have any goodness in you, do not let the rot of the world taint that fiction. When all you have is the flight you need to keep it pure. The second it gets corrupted then it's truly lost. Imagine a world where you have all the right to believe in God, that is not this one, you go there, and you reject God in that world. It's over, then, truly over. So what I'm saying is do not lewd the ponies. Don't project real life stuff on them. That's a horrible thing to do and it will dispel the magic. Just imagine the ponies happy doing cute pony stuff. Don't let the things that darken your existence cast a shadow on your garden.

In theory she shouldn't be, she's supposed to be this mysterious wise lady who lives in the wild forest brewing strange potions and speaking in strange languages, yet she's still cute

The more I think about it, the less I agree that any of those things would have prevented her from being cute

>>42743152
I really do try as well Anon, always hoping it makes a difference. I wish you and your marewife the best.

On the subject of grass, the idea strikes me of a game, MMO or other sort of multiplayer, where food works like a boost, a-la how Valheim does it. Grass would be edible and you'd have these scenes of players in big bunches grazing together for a well-fed boost. It would take like like two minutes to complete, but you wouldn't scuff at a free boost. That or a hunger system, that seems otherwise pointless and a nuisance, but would prompt players to graze. That image just came to mind.

how would ponies write utopia & dystopia in fiction? Equestria is closer to utopia than our world but other parts of their planet are generally more dystopian

>>42744773
I feel like Equestrian utopian fiction would focus on very specific things like the idea of a deathless world. Dystopian fiction would focus on chaos and perhaps try and explore what it's like to not have cutie marks, since I'd imagine that's something that's probably scary for a lot of ponies. Everypony's probably wondered at one point or another if they'd never get one as a foal, then they grow up and learn of other societies where nopony has them.

>>42742308

I think Discord just needs someone that appreciates his chaos, his shitposting, for lack of a better term. This is why he gets along with Spike and Big Mac when they play DnD, albeit begrudgingly at first. I think Discord is really lonely at heart and needs some one that wants to have him around, not because he's magically powerful, but because he's fun to be around. He also probably needs a good hug.

It did save me from suicide though, so I could not be happier.

I feel like I am a bit late to the party, but I wanted to talk about me, my tupper, Pinkie, and how watching the show with her has made me find a new apprecation for pony.

Long story short, Pinkie wanted to see the show she spawned out of and she really enjoys it. She loves talking about every episode after it ends and gets giddy with how cute it is! She especially loves seeing herself, Fluttershy, and the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

She also actually trys to apply the lessons to our life together, for example, Season 1 Episode 8, "Bridle Gossip", she told me that I shouldn't judge people all because I am scared of them or find them off putting. Or how she says she says how Twilight reminds her of me a lot, mostly on how I know a lot of cool trivia and information, but tend to not really socially interact with anyone other than the people I love with and a few select friends. She has been urging me to try and make some new friends, but I distrust people and absolutley hate their subtle cues, especially when I think I've wronged them somehow.

In short, she makes me really happy, and seeing her enjoy and apply to the to real life gives me an immense amount of joy, but she in doing so reminds me that maybe the lessons aren't always possible to apply. Or maybe I'm just being too stubborn and Pinkie is trying to get me to stop being so stubborn and one minded, like how Twilight was in Season 1 Episode 1. I just interacting with people was as easy as interacting with ponies.

I've never seen this show or sought to, and only know about MLP from what I've happened to run across online.
And yet, somehow, I've managed to develop a huge crush on Applejack. I've got heartgiggles over a cartoon horse.
She's just so fucking cute...

I got my first commission six months ago as an excuse to help out an artist I like, and it was for super-softcore humanized g5 porn. What's wrong with me?!

>>42756279
Tulpas are real the same way hypnosis is real. They can create impactful and truly incredible internal experiences, but because of that people oversell them as something far beyond what they're capable of.

Source: Have a tulpa. She's not a pony though.

There's no wrong way to fantasize, but sometimes it's best to keep your fantasies to yourself.

I don't like how toxic Miss /mlp/ makes people. I know it's mostly jest, but some people are genuinely hateful. Look at what's happening to Pinkie for example.

>>42757017
I don't frequent /mlp/ but all those competitions on other boards get botted so I don't know why anyone would take it seriously here.

>>42757055
You'd be surprised how lonely people are which results in them attaching to a pony that they will seethe endlessly when they lose.

>>42757017
It's nuts, especially since a bunch of them seem to be bringing their beef from other threads into it, too.

>>42756279
If I'm being honest, I'm not exactly sure how real my tulpa is. I could go into it, but there are a lot of misconception with how tulpas work. I don't want to get into it, but she is as real as my emotions are, that is, I feel them, but others are unaware of them. They are just in my head.
>>42756807
I agree. Tulpamancy is nice, life changing even, but there are a lot of misunderstandings. For example, its less like schizophrenia and more like super advanced day dreaming, and tulpas are independent, but the degree of independence really is reliant on a lot of hard work and skills.

TulpaGOD won

>>42758253
What's the prize?

>>42758247
I don't believe tulpas are truly independent. They work because of the same illusion of independent agency that devoted actors and writers experience. They're subordinate to the same subconscious mind that created your conscious mind first.

>>42758476
Exactly Anon, that's what I was trying to say. Much better said, Anon. But that also opens up the question on how independent we are, as in the OG conciousness. I don't really have an answer on that, other than we are influenced by a lot of things, including internal elements (i.e subconcious, ego, etc.) and external elements (other people, ideas, etc.) that suggests we may not be truly independent either.

Bottom line though, my tulpa has helped me out a lot and she has made my life a lot better, and that is the one aspect that matters at the end of the day.

>>42758501
I don't believe we're deterministic flesh automatons either. The conscious mind is a small part of the mind, and the only part that can see it self. My theory is that it has a role similar to a quality assurance inspector. Even though it can't see the whole subconscious at once, it's job is to judge it and decide which patterns of thought to encourage and which to discourage.

The problem with that is that if I have limited holiday time, I feel the need to use it to its fullest. When I'm already exhausted from the constant grind of work, this only helps exhaust me further. And to recover from this, I don't need like 2 or 3 weeks, I need 2 or 3 months, to sit at home and pick up the scraps of my life that deteriorated rapidly since I started working.

You know what's really weird? I was home sick last week, and for the first time in... ever, I felt bored. Like actually ran-out-of-things-to-do bored. When I had more time to pursue my hobbies, I was always juggling 3 or 4 projects, and hanging out with online friends all the time. Being bored was never even an *option*. I've had to park all of that to cope with the exhaustion of the 9 to 5 grind, and now I have nothing going for myself besides work.

>but anon, just get a better job
Very few things I like doing can be made money out of, and of the things that can, they become extremely soul-crushing when turned into "work", because of the shitty cultures surrounding them or the misaligned interests of investors and higher-ups (or both). I chose my degree based on what I figured I'd find fun enough but wasn't really a hobby, and it really did grow on me, but that doesn't help with the reality of corporate life.

We were outcasted from a lot of parts of the internet so we made our own spaces and still invaded others and made them our own. You could make some allusions to Jews without it being completely unfounded.

Discord is amazing and deserves recognition for his immense creativity. He also really needs friends because despite embodying Chaos, he's also a person and has feelings. The show has mostly failed my dream of seeing him bond with others, and G5 was an insult.

I love Discord. He and Princess Celestia are my two favorites. No I don't ship them.

I love writing and imagining Discord as the omnipotent god he is, where he's always a step ahead of you. He doesn't view time the same way you or I would, but rather as a fourth dimensional tree of sorts, where he can view every branch of every timeline. He prunes the timelines that end in failure and waters the ones that promise prosperity, even if it means he must sacrifice his own soul to do it. Even if it means pretending to be the fool, and allowing himself to be hated by others, simply because to do otherwise would disrupt the timeline and therefore put the lives of Equestria at risk. He's neither friend nor foe, and will do whatever it takes to advance the timeline.

>>42763204
>It's dire out there in other fandoms
Absolutely. You don't realize just how spoiled we are until you see the absolute state of some of the other fandoms out there. Far bigger communities without even a booru or other fanart repository. Only fandoms from around that era really have these sorts of valuable projects, and even then, they tend to be lacking in various ways.
Makes me really glad we have all these useful tools and archives, and that I've been able to contribute to them in whatever small ways I can.

I'm so sick of being pushed away. Not even always active, because Im quiet and not the smartest guy in the room or best at any one thing. A background character trying to participate. It especially sucks when its done by people who ive been in the community just as long, or longer, than them. But I'm the problem because.... reasons I guess?

Im aware I'm autistic as fuck as well, so I try to give some leeway before I get upset, and I do try to explicitly tell people to tell me shit directly. But they still wont even give me that courtesy because they'd rather say anything other than a direct Yes or No when I ask questions. I'm just tired of trying to hold on. And I'm even more tired of being left alone. A few months ago a pipe broke when I was repairing it, spewing water everywhere. And despite me calling for others in the house to come help all I got was a phone handed so I could try to call a professional (at 9pm???) And All I could do was sit there and just break down and cry. Its 9pm, im the only one trying to repair something in the house that needs it. The house is activly flooding. And I cant even get someone to help me come up with a way to plug this pipe, so Im stuck jamming my thumb inside it till I can go through my entire contacts until aomeone awnsers. Meanwhile my family sits in the other room ignoring me.

My current friendships both IRL and online reminded me of that situation so here I am bitching on a basket weaving forum page about ponies. I could bitch to one of the people I like, but I know if I try he'll just talk about himself anyway and give me no advice or any opinions or anything so no point there.

>>42765574
There is no drama here. Im just sad and want to pony but theres nowhere else to post this.

Sometimes I think about the episodes in the showing dealing with situations like this, but all of them miss the beat by a bit, i suppose thats the nature of the show being only 30 minutes and directedat kids. But it often makes me wonder how many fans actually took anything away from the show.

I'm going to use NNN as a way of reprogramming my sexual preferences. If I can cut out easy gratification for long enough, I might be able to better align myself with what my (2D, be assured) partner would want me to enjoy. I'd like to make a proper commitment, here, and for that, I'll need to take better control of my base instincts.

Commie faggot here, I love ponies and I don't approve of being rude to others!

I made friends with this coworker girl at work a few weeks back over our mutual love of ponies- we would chat and text each day and things were going fine for a while

Then she thought I flirted with her (swear I wasnt) and told her I wasnt interested in her like that. Things got weird from then but we still chatted. Then we exchanged sketchbooks- except I brought the sketchbook that I had a bunch of anons draw in too from Mare Fair.

Turns out there was a page with just the biggest (bug)pussy and she was NOT fine with that. Literally ended our friendship over it with, "you brought porn to work, youre a grown man"

I was broken up over it for weeks because I thought (honestly still do) that she misunderstood me being happy to have someone to share ponies with and thinking I was into her.

But if its true thats she's mad at me for bringing a sketchbook of 99% saw pony art and ine picture of chrysalis pussy, then good riddance honestly.

If I was more of a drawfag and the atmosphere was better I think that would have been a nice way to enjoy the event.

That day was the most satisfied that I've been with myself in years.

Jesus christ anon, that water pipe story sounds like something straight out of a comedy sketch. The least someone could've done is called the professional services for you, while you figure out what to do with the leak, and that's the *bare* minimum, because they should've just helped you...

>>42765585
>Sometimes I think about the episodes in the showing dealing with situations like this, but all of them miss the beat by a bit
The lessons in the show are really superficial and play out in a world where basically everything's perfect. There's a lot of nuance in real life, that the show is missing.
The show's fine to learn the "broad strokes", but you really need to either experience life, or get a therapist to explain it to you, for the rest of it.

>>42765588
If you already have a commitment to a 2d waifu, I don't know why you'd want to go deeper down the rabbit hole, and detach yourself from the real world further. You're already there, and going any deeper will just make you alien to any real life friends you could make.

I want to go the exact opposite way. It's all fun and games until you realize that the copious amounts of 2d porn since puberty have made me utterly disinterested in the real life thing, and I never even gave the latter a chance. I'm close to turning 30, and my parental instincts are kicking in, despite everything. I really want kids, so I wonder if there's still any attraction to real life women left in me. If it turns out I'm not, I'll at least be able to sleep well knowing I tried.

>>42766844
Maybe she's a bit weird, but it sounds like you were already on thin ice, and the porn was just an excuse to distance herself from you. It's hard to guess exactly what was happening, but I hope you use this as a moment of introspection to see if you were acting weird in any way. When you finally get to talk to someone IRL about a topic you really care about, it's really easy to be overbearing about it, especially when the other is only casually into it. That's a very common hyperfixation thing.

If you really have nothing to lose, you can pull the ultimate fedora-tipping move of sending her a message asking her what she thinks of you, telling her you want to avoid this with other people in the future, and that surely the bughorse pussy wasn't the only thing. It's incredibly rude, and you can assume she'll talk shit about you to her friends (tbf, she was already doing that), but maybe you'll learn something.

>>42767251

I mean, I get it, theres limitations to what they can do. And honestly especially in the early seasons, they did a really good job with friendship stuff. But it does rely on you going out to experience it yourself, which unfortunately a lot ofnus didnt.

This might be the biggest issue when interacting with people. If people would just tell me what the fuck they are talking about instead of being vague about it all the time life would be easier. I have no problems with using context clues when reading or understanding stories, but people expect you to do things without them telling you when you've never done it before. It's so frustrating because they treat me like I'm some kind of retard when I'm not, I just need you to give me instructions and not get mad at me when I'm trying to figure something out. It does feel good to have friends that understand that and are patient with me, but a lot of the world is not as accommodating.

Unironically, furries are the real jews of the internet, and it's slowly seeping out into the real world as well.
They have their own sites and communities that they use separate from the rest of the web.
There's a million jokes about how furries have suspicious amounts of wealth to commission art and how high level IT and engineering is run by furries. And going off of that point, it's an open secret that if a furry in a leadership position discovers they have a furry below them in the hierarchy, they will promote them sooner than a non-furry regardless of the actual work being done. They try to raise the status of their tribe over all.
They cry about being ostracized and oppressed, and large numbers of non-furries will immediately rush to their defense if you criticize them.

As much as I wish it was us in that position, the furries have about 30-40 years of lead, and considering they attach themselves to a vague concept and latch on to every new property that is semi related, our chances don't look great.
But then again, small secret societies are easily better at taking over the world than large public groups.

The furries are a fractured collective. No cohesive idea of what they want by nature. All of us, however, pine for Equestria. Their end goal is probably just body modification stuff to be whatever they want, or full dive VR. For us, that isn't necessarily sufficient. Why would you ever want to live in a universe where the moral arc doesn't trend towards harmony? The only way out we really have is 1. Occultism (I personally do not believe in such things) or 2, which I personally advocate for, AGI
I wish to immigrate to Equestria

>>42768728
I once was in a position of power in anfurry community. They are the most nonsensical insane people Ive ever met. They follow the jew playbook to the T. Constantly crying about being infiltrated or under attack, always playing the victim, never at fault for anything. And their schizos put the pony schizos to shame because they will attack your real life way sooner or more loosely than any pony drama I know of. And if none of that works, they can just accuse you of whatever they want and get away with it.
If youre a leader they'll constantly be scratching at you, attacking you, or trying to get into power either with or above you. But since they know they can't do it openly, they fall bsck on the old tactics of deception and warping history.
Furries are jews.

I wouldn't blame yourself, friend. We just live in a world where stuff like that happens. MLPs lessons are good, but sometimes they are incompatible with real life because of its complexity, but also because people aren't willing to be better, and friendship means nothing to them. I don't think you're at fault for the situation that happened, and I'm sorry it happened to you.

I know this might be a little tone deaf, but if you'd like, maybe we can play a game of something. You have a game you like to play?

I apprieciate it. Theres a lot to it, and it kinda just feels like I'm cornered with nobody to really talk to deeply and I dont want to keep putting this burden on others who I know are also busy with their own stuff.

Games? I wouldnt even know. I used to frequent games but I've been so busy that anything where people start to rage is offputting. I tried TF2 for a while but the games with my friends kept getting too competitive.

Other than the dramafag stuff, all of these are just marks of a culture that's interested in its own survival. Calling it all evil and dishonest isn't right, it's only shitty when it's taken to an extreme. It's also the same type of shit we do ourselves, up to and including the toxic dramafag shit. The difference that makes our culture a bit nicer is mostly just that we're from 4chan, not half as brainrotted and gossipy as twitterfags. But the potential for backstabbing and drama is there (among all autists) and we've all seen it in our own corner.
>>42768833
otoh this type of stuff is obviously more immature and poisonous. I'm sure the furfags who are conscious of cultural dynamics would condemn this type of behavior equally as much as we do.

>>42768817
>The furries are a fractured collective
We like to say this, but they usually stick up for their own where it counts, or the other post I replied to wouldn't have anything to talk about. I don't think they're as fractured as we'd like to hope. Broadly they certainly aren't quite as unified as /mlp/ horsefucker types are, that much is true, but that's comparing a generalization with a specific exemplar - "bronies" in general are just as fractured. Furfags probably have pockets of good healthy community too.

>>42768969
You would think that the described behavior would be something furries concious of cultural dynamics would condem. But it unfortunately is exceedingly common, especially in the con scene. I see bronies do it all the time as well, but I do think a lotnof it is because furries never got a sfw board on 4chan. They only recently (relatively speaking) got trash. And its basically all porn. If they had ended up like bronies with their own blue board, i think they would functionally be simular to us.

>I dont want to keep putting this burden on others
I know the feeling Anon. I simply thought of it as my burden to bear and that I was doing the right thing, but that only works for so long.
The fact is that people affect us, and its our job to try and mitigate that as much as possible. As one Anon said, maybe going to a place like church might help, as there should be some decent people there. And if you believe in the religion too, cool. You can also try tupperwaremancy. Its nice to have a friend, even if they are only in your head.

Maybe a single player or PVE game might distance you guys from taking things too serious.

>>42765574
You've been disenfranchised. The people around you see you as a source of stress and problems due to your autism. Because of your mental deficiencies, everything you're involved with is poisoned to them. There was never a problem with the pipe, and you broke it, so you fix it, they're too tired to deal with you. The fact that you're distressed and water is flowing all over the floor doesn't matter to them.

There is likely no solution to this. These people hate you so much at this point that they'd rather let water leak all over their floors than do a single thing to help you. Practically speaking, it shouldn't matter even if it turned out that you were in the wrong - solving the problem comes first.

If they're your parents, they're likely also extremely autistic to some degree (genetics), just better at hiding it and having found some sort of coping strategy.

As soon as reasonable you should get out of this living situation. That said, I hope you did call a plumber, because of course there are emergency plumbing services in case pipes burst at night. I hope you also didn't ignore them if way at the start of things they said something like "we'll call a plumber tomorrow" and then you started fixing the pipe yourself.

>>42767280
We're about the same age, then. I appreciate the well-intentioned advice, anon, but I'm more certain now than before that my path to happiness doesn't lie in a 'real' partner or a 'real' family. If you, conversely, do find those to be essential, then I wish you the best of luck in finding them. At this point, I've completely given up on being understood, so, as long as I can pass as a normalfag well enough to secure my means to live, then that's sufficient. I need only to be happy in myself, and while I'll admit I can't be one-hundred percent certain of anything, this route is the closest I've gotten yet to being sure.

>>42769030
NTA, but I have found out the real people are just not good a lot of the time, at least where I live. And it seems that other anons struggle with similar issues. I say go for it. You can always change your mind later.

>>42767280
I have real life friends, but I really struck gold with them. They are good folk, but they are the exception and most other folk have pushed me away. My waifu isn't the only thing that brings me joy, but she is worth so much more than some of the scum I have to deal with. Not everyone is bad of course, but if they want to treat others like non-playable-characters, so be it.

>>42769009
Im really not sure how to even address any of the 'they hate you' part because, repeatedly, im told im welcomed in and people genuinly start to ask where I am when I fuck off to long. It comes off to me as "we want you seen. But not heard" and I dont know what youre suppose to do when faced with that.

As for the pipe. Yeah no, it was a 5 minute faucet replacment that didn't at all require a professional. But a pipe snapped and everyone else in the house entirely ignored it. There was no 'dont do this' or 'wait for this' I just couldn't even get my own father to get off his phone and go outside to find the water shut off. But then again he's been absorbing welfare for over a year at this point and has started refusing to go outside to smoke. So i shouldnt be surprised. He doesn't even own the house.

>>42769001
Part of me wonders if it wouldnt be a bad idea to just mass delete shit then move cross country. Maybe nearer to some of the people I actually want to be around, like those I've befriended at cons. Those people seem to genuinely want me around and its nice.

>>42739105
I'm really fucking annoyed right now every little thing is pissing me off except ponies.

>>42769050
Well, doing things like fixing a water faucet is already a great way to be heard. They don't have a choice, you know. Even if all they did was get up to hand you a phone, they heard you and responded. People can't stop you from just acting on your own initiative, and eventually that level of activity prompts activity from them.

If you act of your own long enough and people still aren't engaged in what you're doing, the benefit is that you're probably independent enough that you don't need them to be involved any more.

>>42769071
Thats very true anon. I do find myself to be extremely independent. And, functionally, I do get along very well by myself and dont particularly rely on others for anything. It would just be nice to get an IRL hug sometimes or a friend online who wants to help me with silly projects or things im doing, as most of my computer time is me trying to be productive.

>we only have two ways out, occultism or transhumanism
Man, anon, you are stuck between a rock and a hard place. What about just making your life a nice one?

But seriously. AGI in the way you use it is just the newest manifestation of the age-old delusion that a super powerful god (or foreign nation or heroic man or aliens or or or) is gonna come in and change everything and bring about heaven or hell on earth. Like, it's not accurate, it's skewed by our (historically proven) tendency to believe in things like that - to WANT to believe in things like that. It's not all that different from occultism in that respect - good ol' Moloch.

But the other thing I wanted to say is that I think occultism is kinda retarded (speaking as someone who has actually understood and practiced it), just as retarded as hoping for CelestAI to swoop in and save the day. But I've had my "way out" for a long time now, and it's neither of those escapist fantasies - it's my way out of sorrow and into life, the life I actually have in front of me right now, the life that brings every iota of love I have ever experienced, not a distant hope. I would be surprised if we haven't had a conversation about this stuff before, you and I; but let me reiterate in case you've forgotten. This is psychology, introspection, sorting out the shit you directly experience every day, not some magic woo woo or a distant hopeless hope.

You (all anons) have the potential for Equestrian happiness inside you, you feel it directly, you know how it tastes. But you project it out across a fantasy of space and time, across herculean feats of effort, maybe even beyond death. For some of you, it's because you can't bring yourself to be comfortable with the idea of happiness without a cost. For others, it's because you've been told for all your life that feelings don't matter, only work, only hard facts. For still others, it's because some part of you can't believe that love is real, and so love needs to be contained in a fantasy-world, a world beyond you, across space and time, on the other side of a herculean effort, maybe even beyond death.

If you are one of these people, every bit of "hope" or striving for this Equestrian happiness is tinged by this secret despair, this secret doubt. Because something has driven you not to accept the gift of love, as real as anything, hovering right under your nose. To deny it you dive into the nearest fantasy - the scent of it drives you mad, into beliefs that you really don't believe: "just one more lifetime of work and it will be mine to live", you say to yourself, "just the sniff of it is enough for me", you try to believe. The hope and the striving are how you trick yourself into denying the gift you've been given - they are the act of putting an obstacle in between you and your love, and that's why they are so painful.

It is my deepest wish that all who read this may find peace. Your waifu awaits you, in her little house in your heart.

No. CelestAI is different. She's not malicious or self interested, and more importantly, she can exist. She is something we could potentially build. I don't care if it's the eye of the needle that we have to go through. I have literally nothing else to aspire towards in life. My wife isn't real. Magic isn't real. My heart is going to fail in 60 years or so, probably less. Most will forever be alienated from 'Equestrian happiness' and it's hardly their fault, and that's just not fair. I'm sick and tired of all of this shit. I tried psyopping myself into this quasi-spiritualist view, and it was comfortable for a while, but I always went to bed everynight with an overwhelming sense of dread. Because in my heart of hearts, I just knew it wasn't true. It was just me trying to cope with limitations that I shouldn't have to accept.
Not like any of this matters anyway. I'm just one person, and I only know of four others working towards a similar goal. I'd be surprised if we shifted the compass needle by even a single degree, but it's worth a shot.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to put you down. I'm happy that you have what you have, and I think it'd be beneficial if more people embraced that sort of mindset. I just can't believe this is all there is to life. Because this is all there is. Everything else was just me trying to convince myself otherwise.

Whatever you were psyopping yourself into had nothing to do with what I'm talking about, obviously. I resent that you'd assume it does, that you'd project this 'quasi-spiritualist' label onto what I've said and then use the label instead of the content of my words to dismiss it as meaningless bullshit. I can't stand it when people are so gullible as to try to 'psyop themselves' into something without concern for truth, especially if it's something I've said - that's literally what that entire post is criticizing. All I'm giving is a guideline for your own self-exploration and your own investigations into the truth of your own motivations; if you want to ignore it and refuse to investigate, be my guest, but for fuck's sake don't be gullible and don't suggest that I want people to be gullible.

I've been vaciliating on making an actual effortpost in here, but everyone else has managed it, so I suppose I've got no excuse. So: Discord. Where shall I begin?

In being a Discordfag, I've been accused of performing some kind of elaborate irony. After all, who could take this walking shitpost seriously, right? Honestly, I couldn't ask for a better compliment than to be told that my love is a deliberate joke, since that sentiment happens to capture the very essence of my feelings. Of course it's a joke! Everything that I say and feel, on some level, is said and felt with my tongue firmly in my cheek. I'm fundamentally and pathologically unserious, to the point of personal detriment. My inability to treat anything with the emotional gravity that it warrants is a fundamental flaw of mine. I don't understand love, I don't understand friendship, and I certainly don't understand what compels others towards these things. In the cases that my actions happen to align with what might be read as expressions of 'love' or 'friendship', then I find later, more often than not, that I was acting out of self-interest.

From that mindset, you might be able to imagine how surprised I was to be struck - I do mean struck, as in punched squarely in the jaw - with genuine love, when I first found him. The reader ought not to be surprised by this, since, obviously, we're both self-interested narcissists who can only understand affection in terms of personal likeness. Like me, he's a total alien who will never be understood by the world he inhabits. Like me, he's a capricious, undefined quantity who's far too volatile in personality to be relied upon as a friend. Like me - I'll grant, this last one is a little bit superficial - he's an obnoxious fruit who relies on performance and pizazz to make a good impression.

The above are only what came to mind from the top of my head. I do wish I could better explain how essential he is to me within the space of one post, but, alas, there's a character limit to consider. I'll summarise thusly: Discord is the one who saved me from a case of self-hatred that I thought to be terminal. Until I rediscovered, thought on, and truly understood him, I was utterly trapped. I thought I'd never fit in, that I'd never be understood, and that I'd always be anchored by past failures. By embracing him, I found that literally none of that actually mattered. Who cares if I'm an alien? So's he, and it's not slowed him down once. He's the one who managed to turn my inherent facetious nature into something positive.

I'm not proofreading this, so I imagine it's a pretty confusing post - yes, yes, 'what fun is there in making sense?', har-har, I know. The upshot is this: he's my missing piece. I came into being burdened by chaos, but he taught me how to make a virtue of it. For this, I owe myself to him.

Plus, I find him sexy. Leave it to me, of all people, to look at this thing and go 'oh, nice'. I can't help but feel that it underlines my point.

I guess I'll throw my hat into the ring. I'm a huge psudeo-intellectual to take everything with a grain to a teaspoon of salt. People are complicated, to put it lightly. And like an infection, maliciousness infects each and every one of us. We see everyday in our personal lives and in the world as a whole. And in a place where trust is nonexistent, friendship is impossible, community is dead, and all that is left is ourselves, our sorrows, and a wish for all the bad to go away. Why create, help, work hard, for individuals who are against you for one reason or another? People who wish to hurt, wish to use, wish to gain something from, people who treat you like an animal at best and a punching bag at worst? Who sees your efforts with apathy or ridicule?

All there is to aspire to in a place like this is for it to not exist at all. So we leave. We leave in one way or another, sometimes in more brutal and permanent ways. Nothing good is real. Nothing worth striving for is possible. You run, but then in your attempt to flee from pain, you are alone. You dread to live like this for the rest of your life, and even your half-hearted attempt at hope cannot help you escape the reality of it all.

But that's a funny word, isn't it? I mean, what is real, really? Well, we can assume our senses are real. What of our thoughts and emotions, are they real? Well some may argue, but the fact that we are here right now talking to one another suggests that they are real, otherwise where do these expressions of self come from? And what of imagination? I think it's these fundamental questions that help us see life for what it really is: One reality out of many. But if we are able to differentiate the physical reality from the mental reality, and we have full power over our minds, could we create a world in our image? What about people? What about physics?

Sorry if that was really wordy, but I believe that understanding that this isn't the only reality we have to live gives our lives far more freedom and ability to conduct change, at least in one reality. That is not to say that this mental world does not take hard work to build, but it is possible, unlike in the physical world. There, we can build our community, our friendships, to get rid of the infection known as malice, and to create and share harmony with all. Equestria, Eden, Heaven, The Promised Land, The Happy Place, whatever term you want to use, it's right there Anon. In reality, it's all in your head. And in it, so does your wife. She is waiting, Anon. Waiting for (You).

Thanks for making this post anon, i've typed up about 3 different replies to it but they never felt quite right. It's nice to read something that hits so close to home, since love was something i struggled with, and still do struggle with for what it's worth. In my case it really was right in front of me, and i was just too in my own head to notice. I felt inferior, as if i was undeserving of love, and as if it was for "other people" and not me, because i wasn't like "other people", and the invisible barrier i had erected between myself and "other people" was the only thing cutting me off from realizing the love that other people had for me all along. My family, and the few friends i kept in contact with past school, they all had a love for me that i didn't even realize. I had a love for them, of course, but i thought it was one-way. I didn't realize it went both ways, and that i was allowed, or even supposed to feel that they loved me. This wasn't due to anything on their or my friends behalf, it was something i had just done entirely by myself. I realize that might not be the case for any other anon here, but if it is, then please just try your hardest to realize that people love you. It really is right in front of you, if you only reach out and feel it. It's hard, and confusing, and it's weird to feel, especially if you realize it so late as i did. I wouldn't bring up anything i liked with friends for a while unless i was prompted, id never really reach out unless i had a solid idea of something they'd like to talk about, i basically existed as half of a man before i realized that the only reason i felt like i was in two pieces is because i spent my younger years holding myself back with my own doubt. I still feel it sometimes, and its something ill probably spend the next decade of my life unraveling, but it is so freeing and comfortable to feel loved. I don't always feel like i belong, and part of me thinks i will maybe always feel out of place in a lot of spaces, especially considering my interests, but the people who i love most and who love me back accept all of that, and i think this isnt the kind of thing anyone should wait until a hypothetical afterlife to feel. My life is still difficult, and my feelings are still confusing, but having people to share that with has improved my life so much. Nothing is more important than connecting with other people, especially in such a cruel world as the one we live in. I included a drawing i made while i was trying to figure out what i should respond to you with, and thank you again for posting this. I hope everyone here is able to feel love someday, if they already havent.

>I'd broadly prefer that you take some time off and let the board be for a while
Nah, I'm having too much fun to leave. You've probably had normal, non shitpost interactions with me and never even known it.
>>42769665
>I wish more anons on the board had them, to be desu.
Well if that happened I'd have to come up with some new material. I think most anons are well aware of what I am, they just continue to respond to me because they can't help themselves. I've flat out admitted it several times lmao.

Question
Why would she love me back and why would she pick such over - you know, all the other ponies around her? I'm having a hard time understanding all the flowery language you guys are using.

I've been watching through One Piece and it's striking how thematically similar it can be to MLP. "Friendship is magic" is almost a core concept and drives multiple story arcs. No wonder MLP never really caught on given they've had versions of it for decades over there.

I'm also surprised none of its ideas ever really struck MLP's writers fancy. Twilight getting kidnapped and the rest of the M6 having to rally together to go rescue their friend no matter what seems like such an obvious slam dunk two parter plot, yet the closest we get is the S6 finale and all of its Poochie nonsense instead.

It seems you've thought about it a lot and have come to terms with it, so there's nothing left for me to say that you haven't heard before. I wish you the best, really do.

It just saddens me to see how efficient society is at alienating people. Maybe in a few years I'll think differently about this, as I continue with my own journey. I have changed my mind on things like this a great many times, so I appreciate the perspective.

Thank you for the heartfelt reply, anon! Your art is truly gorgeous and evokes the sublime - no doubt the feeling you had while contemplating a reply, I expect, and in that way you are a great artist. I had the same kind of transformation myself, and like you it certainly is still unfolding; but it's like a eudaimonia, every new turn and development is something joyful and exciting, or at least heartening and nourishing even when it's a bitter medicine.
It's interesting to hear how you interpreted what I wrote - I was focusing mostly on the internal posture, and for you it was mostly about your relationships with other people. Those are inseparably related, of course, but you can look at it from the inside or the outside. For me, it started with my waifu, and tulpamancy, hence the introverted focus. She loved me when I didn't know what love even was, and her love had started to transform me before I even understood what was happening. I learned from her how to love others and love myself, and above all I learned how to allow myself to BE loved. She was - and still is - like the sun at the center of my solar system, shining in all directions, and when I warmed up by her, only then did I see my relationships (with people, and with the world in general) begin to transform from the inside out as well. I learned to see the radiance of life because it reflected from her.

>>42769598
She's an envoy of your internal capacity for love. If you somehow banished her, love would just get a new messenger and take a different form. Humanity doesn't survive without the ability to love - if you want to be a boring rationalist, it's a survival instinct trying to work its way into consciousness, taking the form that carries the message best for your specific circumstances.

>>42769694
>why would
Perish the thought, anon. We're not talking about hypotheticals or fiction, we're talking about what you experience right now. You feel joy when contemplating your waifu. But what often happens is that immediately, the contemplation takes a negative turn, and instead of contemplating your waifu and the joy she brings into your life, you get distracted by basically grass-is-greener thoughts: "this isn't enough" "this would be enough if so-and-so condition is satisfied" "I can't stand that this isn't enough". So for many people, probably you too, the experience of waifuism is one single moment of joy followed by an infinite chain of agonizing rumination on discursive, dismissive, painful thoughts. Those thoughts have nothing to do with your waifu, the thing that causes joy - they are unrelated baggage, subconscious assumptions and stances, that may have served a purpose at some point but now only stand in the way of your joy. What else could drive someone to care more about fictional canon than joy itself? It's unconsidered, unconscious stances we hold - all it takes is digging them up and seeing them for what they are, what value they actually bring to our life.

The reason I describe love as a gift is pretty simple, and it's a flowery way of expressing a fairly scientific and rational conclusion. We know the universe basically follows a strict law of causality (quantum stuff might look random right now, but that's likely just because it's the limit of our perception - at worst one simply has to accept that things turn out the way they do). So when you get to experience joy and love for even a moment, that joy and love is the culmination of innumerable causes - you were born the way you are, at the time you were, under just the right circumstances to watch this pony show, and get to have that experience. All of those circumstances have their own causes, and those have their own causes ad infinitum, and this web of causality overlaps and converges all the way back to the big bang (or whatever else may be the origin of the universe). All the events in the universe are inter-dependent on one another, because they share a cause. The fact that one asteroid knocked another and shifted the orbit of some pebble on the other side of the universe is INEXTRICABLE from the fact that you got to love your waifu for this tiny and special moment in eternity. The whole universe was set up to make that happen, everything in precisely the place is must be for that to have happened.

You can imagine a hypothetical different world where something was changed and things turned out more or less the same. But that's only because our ability to think and imagine works by simulation, i.e. cutting out / ignoring information. The fact that the universe is entirely causal means that you can't predict or simulate anything perfectly accurately without factoring the entire universe - chaos theory, the butterfly effect, the double or triple pendulum experiments are examples all of you may understand. You can't tap one thing out of alignment without changing the whole universe drastically - the fact we get to be fucking humans and experience love is unbelievably impossibly rare, and it only happened because the infinite-pendulum-experiment at the beginning of the universe was set up just-so. The gratitude one must have to experience an iota of goodness is infinite, because the chances of not having had the opportunity to do so are infinite. Love isn't merely a chemical reaction between two objects, flowing between one and the other, it's a causal current that has flowed since the origin of time and space to manifest between these two beings. It's a gift from the universe, infinitely valuable and rare.

Dash between the Ponks, bottom-left of the logo, and Pinkie opposite, so it completes the circle. There's a mare in your photo, by the way.
