This journal is made for my followers who mainly follow for my Mr. Men Little Miss fan art. For the past six years it has come to my attention that my art of that series has constantly been stolen, reposted and used without permission. While it is my fault for not making the criteria clearer, DeviantArt Eclipse made formatting descriptions a lot more difficult for me to use. Not to mention the fact people and youngins don't bother reading rules on a post that often. DA's stolen art system also doesn't detect every single repost, or for that matter, modified and stolen pics. I only get them once in a blue moon.

There are two possible reasons why this is still happening.

1. My artworks are high quality and too authentic looking. Prior to my first Mr. Men show artwork, there were not that many to go off from. The software I use is capable of making great show accurate art. This isn't the first time my art outside the MMLM fandom has been exploited. Some of my Keroro gunso and MLP art have also fallen to this massive problem.

2. No watermarks or rules. As mentioned, it was my fault for not adding guidelines/rules to each of my Mr. Men artwork. However, Eclipse, as well as many people refusing to read descriptions have made it harder for me to control the issue.

I should also mention I got into bits of drama within the fandom. I was a book purist, so I was very sensitive when it came to accurate art.

In conclusion, all of this demotivated me to make more Mr. Men Show art. A lot of this could have been avoided had I taken extra measures seriously. I could come back due to the movie coming sometime in the future, but for now my status on Mr. Men art is dormant. Maaaybe I will post some art I haven't posted yet, but I don't know.

It has been a long time since I made my last journal. Here I will discuss something that has been haunting me. Ever since Tell Your Tale got oficially axed by Hasbro, I have gotten "pony fatigue". In a nutshell, it's like superhero fatigue, but for pony. I am not the only one who does not feel confident in future pony content. Many others have expressed similar hopelessness in Equestria Daily, Twitter/X, Bluesky, YouTube, and other social media sites.

You may recall a few years ago, I was a doomer fo the upcoming G5, posting art that "the end is neigh" and other stupid stuff. Looking back, Idk what I was smoking, because A New Generation was really good and subverted my expectations. Now something similar has come back to me, except I do have legit reasons as to why I am not so hopeful for the future of MLP which I will explain in a bit.

With Hasbro leadership not changing anytime soon, things could get ugly. And if you haven't known already, a live-action MLP movie is in development. Who knows if it'll be good or bad. But for me, I am not confident. It is currently unknown if this movie will kick off G6 or will be a standalone movie.

To fully understand where I am coming from, I encourage you to read this google doc By Plucky Pizzicato and Lunar Aurora. It explains the basics of G5, and later on, an out-universe timeline on G5 and how it was internally sabotaged by Hasbro and what could have been. It is a very structured presentation and sums up what me and a friend have been talking about since Boulder Media was sold off. You can also watch this YouTube video by Cxcd, which also has a timeline on G5's lifespan.

Again I HIGHLY encourage you to read and watch both of those posts that I have linked.

Once you have done those, feel free to express your thoughts below and tell me how you feel about the future of MLP.
