That feel when you watch something sweet and feel empty afterwards
Snowclone and actual topic.
It's strange, somehow. I usually get it with MLP:FIM (usually whatever season 2 episodes don't upset me, at least).
Comments
I used to get this with MLP:FIM when I first started watching it, but not so much anymore.
Nowadays I usually get it from bittersweet fanfiction...
If I am allowed to ask, what do you mean by "feel empty afterwards?" Is it because you realize that the realities of life are not quite so sweet?
...yes. Pathetic, I know.
Oh, that...yeah, I do get that from MLP:FIM sometimes, sure.
Anonus,
Nah, I would not consider that pathetic. Better to be disappointed because things are not as pleasant as you wish they were than to hope everything turns all angsty and dystopian I guess.
That being said, I feel like the emotion you described is kind of par for the course with any kind of escapism, whether it be TV shows, comics, video games, or books.
^ Agreed. And you can't live your life in a fantasy world, by definition.
Well, some people try, but it usually makes their actual life worse.
Well I guess too many sweets can cause diarrhea and that would make you feel empty.
Sometimes I worry I let the escapism go too far.
Mainly because I occasionally find myself fantasizing about being an MLP pony...
Look at the soulbonders and the otherkin and bask in the knowledge that you're not that bad.
