If I may ask, what precisely makes you think Kaltes-Herzeleid seems distant? It would probably be helpful if he knows what in his manner is causing such a reaction...

Try at him at MLW.

I'll take that as a sign I've improved mildly.

I can tell I've opened a bad can of worms with this one.

How so?

And you have improved, and will continue to improve them dude.

I wonder if I unintentionally come across as distant and unapproachable on here.

I've never thought that you did. Neither here nor anywhere.

What are the medium and low tier tumblrites going to do when the pony craze eventually dies down and their patreons they supposedly rely on to pay bills dry up?

The next anime/cartoon crave will cover them dude.

That's a fair point. I just get a little worried when I see someone who says pateron covers like half their bills and their blog is nothing but ponies. Like, the pony train will end sometime. Even if it's still another four years out or ten, or whatever, everything comes to a close. I feel like there's going to be a lot of artists who can only draw ponies really well because they don't experiment with other shapes.

I do find it... unsettling that people will rely others for income, but I remember that they're like movie stars. Movie stars rely fans/audiences to watch the movies that they play a part in for their income... so these people who use Pateron are somewhat the same way.

As long they have the many fans who are willing to throw money at them, then they're fine. Plus, if all they can draw is ponies, they will have adapt to something else to attract different audiences.

If you believe that this fandom will die at some point, don't forget that this show inspire many to draw, and in a few years, they will do something else, that may very well start a their very own cartoon/anime. As well as games, scripts, music, etc. that the show enable to shine from the Internet.

Thanks MLP:FiM!

That was well-said, Sour Soul. I think the influence of My Little Pony already extends far beyond the confines of the show, and it will continue to be an influence even when the show is gone.

My present random thought: I wish I knew a gaming group I could play Labyrinth Lord or some other old-school-style game with.

I wish Dark Soul wasn't such a bit*h. Good luck looking for that clan/group to play with.
