Taking a step back into the MLP fandom
a year ago
Anyone who knows me since the beginning of time where I made my first digital artworks, should have knowledge about me being a former brony throughout the years of 2014 - 2019.
The fandom jumpstarted my attempts of digital art and everything related to what I am today.
Without this fandom, I probably wouldn't even be here to begin with.
After some horrible memories withthe firry fandom (specifically the dutch branch), I slwoly move further away from being a furry.
While I enjoy having a fursona who is now over 5 years old and hasn't changed a lot over the years except the major one in 2023 thanks to my partner who also unfortunately triggered the negative experiences, I feel as if I need some time off the fandom and rent a hotel in a different place.
The show "My Little Pony" is still popping into my timeline, I secretly watch episodes to a point where I've gathered more knowledge material and what the community is today is certainly different, yet the same at the same time.
In august I even found new grounds by attending a local meetup with a lot of people thanks to my long time friend who radiated my interest into the fandom.
It somewhat triggered something in me, as if the fandom wants to pull me back in.
Meeting people inside the MLP fandom is also a lot more comfortable unlike what I've experienced around new years and eastern this year.
No one knows me from online, I am truly fresh. I can express myself without thinking about past mistakes that plague me, potentially enabling negative all the way to even suicidal thoughts.
I have no known persona and most importantly, am not known as a tool from someone else.
I am seen as my own person, not as just a partner from my GF. A "buitenlander" (foreigner in dutch).
So screw it.
I am a brony again. I made a new OC and will see what I can do.
I feel comfortable for once.
