I'm Leaving The Fandom · 10:31pm Jun 16th, 2016
The title says it all here folks, I'm finally leaving. I've been a part of this fandom since the very beginning and I just can't take the amount of autistic content going around as well as how the "new" side of the show is going. The only real reason I was staying anyways was because of the art and music. That being said here are a list of people that have kept me strong in the fandom up to this point. I highly recommend you take a look at them:
Proenix: vector artist @ Deviant art
NCMares: artist @Deviant art
buckweiser: artist @ Deviant art
SorcerusHorserus: artist @ Deviant art
Prince Whateverer: Musician @ YouTube
Aurelleah: Musician/artist @ YouTube
FluffyMixer: animator @ YouTube
DarkHoofStudios: Collaborative effort @ YouTube
Bronified: Musician no longer making music
LivingTombstone: Musician @ YouTube No longer making brony music
MicTheMicrophone: Musician @ YouTube
Michelle Creber: Applebloom's voice actor @ YouTube
BlackGryphoon: Musician @ YouTube
It is very sad for me to have pulled myself away from this as I know I've put a lot of heart into this fandom but certain content creators that have recently been making themselves known on YouTube have made it pretty Damn easy.
IMPORTANT MAKE SURE YOU READ!
Although I am leaving the fandom I do not believe in an unfinished story and because of that as well as the promise I made as a writer I will finish both The Northern Winds and The Flames of War before I completely hit the road. It would be a horrible thing to have taken this story you guys have been following for all this time and just throw it away I know the feeling. Some of my favorite stories have had their authors do the same thing and it made me feel like crap knowing I'd never get to finish reading. I am not going to do that to you guys. I have standards.
On another note, because I have spent so much time in this fandom I can't feel like I can remove all of it from my life at one time. Because of this feeling I have I will drop everything except for my "child of the night" title. The NLR is where I belong and it's a part of the fandom I can trust. Not only that but what it stands for lines up with my own life almost perfectly.
Once again, I am sorry I have to make this decision but the hammer came down today and I just couldn't save myself from it this time.
Goodbye Bronies, you made me happy when I was sad,
Gave me purpose when I was in doubt,
Changed the way I see the world forever,
Made me a better man,
Made me a better brother,
and now that I can't learn anything else from you,
I will teach the world how to do the same thing you did,
Thank you for all you've done...
Sorry that your leaving the fandom. Things have really starting to change for both the show & fandom, I really like the show to be its self & not really hear the fandom but now with so many nods to them that things are changing...
The past S6 have been great, just it seems likes it slowly going down already.
I hope you have a great journey in life!
I personally liked it better when Faust was with us. That was when my other friends were with me. After she left It was still okay but I saw the quality of the episodes go down and my friends also left me so I was on my own from then on. Now we are in an age of the show where they are starting to make characters up to try and keep it going it seems. I've lost most of my interest with the show and I only watch it out of habit now. That wasn't the main part for my decision like I said. Actually, a lot of factors played in but the one that finally pushed me over my limit was how bad the cringey fan content had gotten. At first I loved other people's fan content but now... I just can't take it anymore.
It's so awkward because I was really into this fandom. I had a whole shelf dedicated to it in my house, most of everything I owned had something pony related on it, and I'm finally getting good at drawing my own pony art but now that all goes down the drain. I kinda just wish there was a title to call people like me who loved the show and the fandom back then because even though I'm leaving I can't see me not doing that kinda stuff for just a while longer.
It was my dream even to attend Bronycon someday and it makes me sad I have to let it all go. I guess it's just a part of growing up you know? Eventually everyone finds their cutie mark and every princess gets their wings. I guess it's just my time to do that as well and move on in life...
