    I Don't Always Read the Comics but, When I Do, They Feature Twilight and Spike

    Dear Loyal Watchers, Interested Visitors, and Confused Passersby,

    First, let me start off by saying how much I've appreciated the support and compassion of so many people during my long, long recovery. I'm most grateful, and it has been a bright spot for me as my long weeks of isolation here in my home have slowly gone by.

    Summer Ends: The Finale of Gravity Falls

    Dear Loyal Watchers, Interested Visitors, and Confused Passersby,

    Every once in a while I get to stand an applaud as the credits roll to a television show. Futile, of course, as I'm the only one there to hear it, but I do it because it deserves to be applauded.

    This evening was one of those nights.

    New Comic: "Away"

    Dear Loyal Watchers, Interested Visitors, and Confused Passersby:

    Stainless Key and I have just finished a new collaboration—which is to say that she finished making the vision that we shared come to pass. This time, it was Key's turn to come up with the concept... and boy, was it a Duesy!

Happenstance Upon this Day · 3:15am Jun 14th, 2015

Dear Loyal Watchers, Interested Visitors, and Confused Passersby:



In the small hours of the morning I gained my 3,000th Watcher.

As noon drew near the show aired its 100th episode.

All on the same day.

Thank you for staying with me over these three years and seven months; through thirty two stories, one hundred and thirteen blogs, and my fifteen trips trips to the Featured Bar.

Knowing that you've chosen to go along with me makes for one happy raven, on this and every other day.



Stay Awesome,
-Desc

Congratulations Desc! Thank you for being as helpful as ever with everyone on the site. And I want you to know that we all thank you for everything you do and write. Congratulations on 3,000 watchers! You deserve everyone of those and more

:heart:here's to many more years of equines. I hope we can meet in person before it's all over. :twilightsmile:

Glad to have been along for it with you, TD.

Thank you, Rift. I appreciate that.

3147440
It certainly would be nice to meet folks at a convention or smooch place again. Anything is possible, Super.:raritywink:

3147441
Thank you, DJ. It's the support of my oldest Watchers like yourself that has seen me along this far, and I appreciate it.:pinkiesmile:

So how was the episode? Was it as silly as we all expected?

3147445
I'm not the type to go to brony con and stuff like that. I'd like to go to see what the fuss is all about, but the money, airfare, and hotel rent is a little too pricey for me. Especially considering how I'm attending comic con this year.

300 watchers on average per episode?

That's impressive, sir.

... Whaddya mean it doesn't work that way?

Congratulations on the achievement! *Looks at the stats board* Hey you're also ranked 13th on the Saturday the 13th. That makes it extra special:pinkiesmile:.

*whistles* Congratulations! That's an achievement!
:pinkiehappy:

Gratz, TD. You are one happening raven. :pinkiehappy:

Congratulations! :twilightsmile:
I wish I could say what follower number of yours I am, but suffice it to say I snuck in somewhere in the middle… and I'm not going anywhere :raritywink:

Congrats,TD! All those watchers are well-deserved! :yay:

Considerate of good things to come in neat pairs (and as round numbers) like that.

Delighted to have been part of your following thus far, sir. Looking forwards to umpteen more aeons of it. :pinkiehappy:

Both on the same day... Coincidence? Or Something more? :pinkiecrazy:

Congratulations on the achievement! :twilightsmile:

This coincidence could not have happened to a worthier soul. Congratulations on the achievement! It's been an honor following you in your way.

Congratulations, Descendant. :twilightsmile:

You are welcome for being with you for some of your 15 trips trips to the Featured Bar!
Stay a happen raven!

:derpytongue2:

But, seriously, congrats. :pinkiehappy:

Congratulations!

Congratulations TD! Here's to 3,000 more, huh? :rainbowlaugh:

Congrats man! Keep up the good work! :derpytongue2:

Congrats man even though I am kind of a recent subscriber, keep up the good work.

Congrats, bud! Happy to be along for the ride.

Have to say you're one of the authors here I'm happiest to have stumbled across. Your unique take on the universe makes me tingle in my brain places. Also, you singed signed up on my 24th birthday, so that's kinda cool. We're connection by coincidence of existence.

And if I have not done so already, allow me to express my utter fangirl-ism at how freakin' cool Procer Celestia Invictus and Procer Luna Revenio are as full titles. Just, holy hell.

I also appreciate consistent avatars, so three cheers for ravens.

Thanks for the stories, Descendant. I'm glad to have been here to be a follower. It's a shame that only recently I've started following the author of my many favorite stories. I wish I'd known sooner.

Stay awesome, bird.

Congrats right back at you!

Stay awesome yourself, TD. :pinkiehappy:

It's been a pleasure and an honor to be along with you, my friend. Here's to many more good times together.

Congratulations, TD! :heart: :twilightsmile:

Well, you've reached your 3,000th follower. Time to change your oil, I think. :trollestia: Now go join the 3,000 hit club, and enter the FIMFic Hall of Fame.

Seriously, though, well done. You're a very polite user, and we Brits respect that sort of thing and wish its practitioners jolly good luck, what. (Note: I may or may not be giddy after watching the 100th episode).

Congratulations my friend! ::twilightsmile::

Huzzah Ravencorn!

Sorry for not responding busy with the story. Congrats on have having the number subscribers equivalent to a blue-eyes white dragon's atk points. I feel like you and everyone who helped you deserve a song.

3000 watches... NICE.

You've earned every single one of them. Through... it is sad to see you haven't written anything for almost a year now.

At the risk of sounding like another voice in an echo chamber, congrats, TD! 3000 followers is quite the achievement. You're in a very small club now, and I don't know that there are many who are more deserving.

You've earned every one of them. Here's to a hundred more episodes and three thousand more watchers for you.

I can think of no author on this site more deserving! Congratulations TD!

Best of luck with future works *looks for the writing bug*

Feast your ears on this song:

A lot of people love the 100th episode for the large amounts of fan pandering. A portion of people think this episode sucks because of the fan pandering. There doesn’t seem to be much recognition that this episode actually has a point, unlike Double Rainboom, which threw a huge amount of references with a ‘morale’ tacked on at the end.

If someone were to view this episode in an internet culture-free vacuum, like a young child, or someone a decade after FiM’s finale, there actually is a lesson it’s trying to teach. Everyone is a star in their own series. Even though the issues people face aren’t objectively equal, every person you pass on the street is currently working towards the most pressing thing in their life. Life as we know it is flitting in and out of the timelines of OTHER people. When we come together in a social event, it’s all of us simultaneously existing in each other.

Still haven't seen it, actually. Just like yesterday's episode... of which I'm extremely reluctant to watch.:twilightoops:

3147493
If only it did! I'm already lagging behind, then!:raritydespair:

3147495
Happenstance! Happenstance everywhere!:rainbowlaugh:

3147513
Thanks, Bee. I try to "be" the best raven I can "be.":raritywink:

3147522
I originally tried to do a large picture of all of my Watchers like I did for the 1,000th, but my computer began screaming. Anyway, I'm glad you are here, Blaze. I appreciate the support.:pinkiesmile:

3147525
Thank you, Zap. You know that your support, and more importantly your friendship, means a great deal to me.:twilightsheepish:

3147526
I shall provide the umpteens, Cara. Umpteen shall be provided... oh yes indeed... :raritywink:...

3147537
It was fate! Thanks for the support, Moose. You know it means a bunch to me.:pinkiesmile:

3147540
Thank you, Couch. It has been a great privilege to share it with great folks like you all the way.:twilightsheepish:
