>>31954739Ah, lotta things. I guess near the end of XY, interest sort of started dropping off. Already called all the things that were going to happen and so many didn't believe me, like Ash making it to the last round but would not win the League, or that Serena would leave, or her at most giving him a kiss and Ash not really caring about it in a game changing way. It just got sort of tiring since even though I hadn't seen the last act, I knew how it ended, you see? They'd push the edge a bit but in the end, they'd fall back to the familiar rhythms. And they did, everything went exactly like I said. And was just tiring defending that day after day. And a little sad, deflating people's expectations.
And despite what I said, I still held out hope my boy Ash would make it. I wanted to be wrong.Was also busy with uni work and stuff. Tried to start going back to /gsg/ like I used to. Also, found another series (pic related) whose threads took up my time since I devoured it like a maniac. Don't get me wrong, I didn't leave because of the shitposting or anything like that. And I guess I come still out of obligation and tradition, and it is fun, don't get me wrong, but still trying to find the magic of SM. Maybe it's just too unfamiliar, who knows?
>>31954751Admit it, you're as miserable as I was, because now you also have nothing. Serena's gone, and never coming back. And Adamant WILL find a girl to move on from Serena, whether it's SM, or the next show after this, or the one after. And there is no way you can say it won't ever happen. It already did!
And, in time my friend, you too will find yourself having moved on. Unless you don't and become the next Pokeshippers.
