An apology...

I know my current picture has upset a few good people and raised a lot of questions about my well-being in regards to MLP FIM and other very popular shows.

Honestly, I'm starting to question myself. :(

Time and time again I've said I'm not a brony but just a fan...yet for some time now I have made constant remarks in comparing some characters to those of others shows, particularly Robot and Monster.

I guess the whole reason I've been pointing out the negative aspects of MLP FIM is because many consider it such a 'perfect' show and then comes comparing it to others and when has there ever been a RANT video for this show?

But mostly why I've said what I've said in my recent summaries since December 2012 is mostly in hopes that more people, especially the MLP fans, will see the POSITIVE of the shows I want they see, give a chance like the had done when MLP first arrived.

To those who think I have an issue, better yet a chip on my shoulder...to an extent, you are correct.

For anyone who's even seen or heard of Robot and Monster, the show has been on a major hiatus since November, save for the 'Baconmas' episode in December during the week of my 20th birthday.

I've been informed countless times by the 'honest truth' of Nick that it would air a new episode...then it re-schedules at last minute and all I see on a Saturday morning is SPONGEBOB or FAIRLY ODDPARENTS; Nick's constant last-minute re-scheduling has been quite a blow for me, and sometimes I get bitter thoughts.

And those bitter thoughts seep into slight animosity for the shows that GET their new episodes delivered on time.

I mean, I'm clinging on to hope RnM is going to come back SOON, but the more I think about it, hardly enough people seem to know such a show.

Other than the blessed few who are RnM fans and members of the :iconrobot-and-monster: group, my biggest fear for the show is this:

If the show leaves for good...who will even know about it?

I don't believe the show will get cancelled, but I often wonder how it can get more admirers when it's barely on Nick at all?

That's where the fanart came in...and that's where I've spliced in my opinions, my opinions that could make the latter show seem inferior.

Yeah, I recall making my "THE BEST SHOW EVER" picture fav.me/d5e2b9v and how much praise I've given RnM...it was all in innocent cartoon humor to place the other toons in the position they were in, but also to announce to EVERYONE how amazing RnM is telling others to give the show a chance.

Then when some say how horrible it is and how the shows already on TV are much better...the bitterness linger furthers in me. :(

That same bitterness was there when the Hub announced Littlest Pet Shop making its premiere, and we ALL know how that went to the few given bronies and Hub fans who thought it was going to be a waste of time.

Never going to forget THESE words:

It's just a rip-off of MLP just like the dog is a rip-off of Twilight Sparkle.

The term 'rip-off' is perfectly acceptable for the characters from Drawn Together...but saying that to a show before it even aired is just a stab in the back.

So a part of me wanted to 'stab back'...

Yeah, so I took a chance and made this 'Zoe versus Twilight' picture, and made comparison fav.me/d5pmrf5

Then just yesterday I made THIS picture in regards to two characters with the same name fav.me/d5r7cg1

I KNOW everyone gets the idea that I don't 'worship' MLP, but my determination to make the latter show look good kept getting in the way. :(

Whenever someone tells me that they have become a fan to a show I'm suggested, like RnM and LPS, I smile, knowing I've managed to get either show a new fan...and then I become determined to resume such a task.

Such a task gave way to apprehension. ^^;

I've said more than my fill in opinions, and I know everyone's getting tired of 'what seems wrong with MLP' and such.

Well, I've thought long and hard and maybe it's not too late to take some things back, though some opinions will still remain.

Next time I say something in my summary, I'll speak about the POSITIVE aspects of a show such as MLP. There are some things I do like about the show:

:bulletblack: The humor.

:bulletblack: The colors and designs.

:bulletblack: Most of the characters.

:bulletblack: Remixes that make even a song I like seem actually cool(it's the only way I'll managed to listen to 'Smile' :XD:).

No show is perfect. It's only the matter of opinion among each fan. :)

Crossovers will still stand, of course, but in a more positive light, and still contain basic humor that may or may not be understood.

:bulletpurple: I do plan to make a 'Sofia the First' picture in tribute to the series finally arriving on Disney Junior...and it will involve a certain other princess who's older than the history of America itself. Just remember that it's all in good humor and I will NOT say anything negative, but blandly point something out. Hope you can see a difference. ^^;

And I will introduce other shows as well, because, well, how else are people going to find out about the other shows out there? :D

I just really want to say sorry for the constant 'nagging' and 'doubting' I've had in my most recent artwork. :worry:

And I do promise to make up for my current picture, somewhat like the sequel to 'Honest Words' fav.me/d5lfgwz

I'm feeling a little better now. Just recently watched 'The Princess and the Frog' on Disney Channel. The song 'Dig a Little Deeper' has been most aiding to me and has helped me think. :)

This is :iconcartuneslover16:, and I hope you don't think I'm a jerk. ^^;

I agree on that, MLP is defiatly flawed but still at least you look at the positives. I mean, the show through my perspective has the same problem as the Looney Tunes Show [I like that show also just to note] and that it has this team of really excellent writers but then there are one or two writers who just ruin the tone. I admit its not my favorite show of all time but it still is defiatly my favorite children show next to Gravity Falls due to the characters, the humor, and the stories when they work.

I have had dismey towards Regular Show but my biggest nitpick with RS is that is tries really hard to appeal to everyone that it pretty much reduces itself to some Waynes World/Cool World ripoff. MLP/Gravity Falls/LPS/ and RaM know what they want to be unlike RS. As for RaM, I have talked to Dave recently and he says he has no idea if they are going to air any new episodes but we can only hope. Yeah, I don't think your a jerk, sure I personally don't understand why you watch Fish Hooks or Fanboy and Chum Chum but at the same time I don't understand why I watch films like Jack and Jill for fun either. As Doug Walker says, we all have things we like and dislike. I can sympathise with you on the RaM thing because gets more episodes aired.
