The End is (Almost) Here · 6:02pm Oct 11th, 2019
Well boys and girls, tomorrow will be the day of the grande finale of Friendship is Magic. It's been a great run these nine years, but all things must come to an end. Just remember that because the show is ending, doesn't mean life itself is ending. We still have a great fan community that's too big to disappear overnight. We still have Fimfiction, where we can make up stories that happen after the finale, or any story we want to tell. Even though BronyCon is no more, there are still other conventions to go to. And we will always have memories of our favorite moments, characters, songs, episodes.
A little thing about endings. Yes, nobody enjoys it when their favorite story ends. Nobody likes to read the last chapter, let alone the last page. But when one story ends, another begins. When one door closes, another opens. I believe in the cyclical nature of stories. They never truly end and can be retold in different ways. Also, it can be an opportunity to find new shows to enjoy, and I believe 2020 will be a great year for animation.
I wish the cast and crew the best of luck and good fortune as they move on to other things. They turned a franchise that was seen as a joke into something truly special and will be remembered and celebrated for years to come. The ending is upon us, my friends, but in the immortal words of late-1990s pop singer Vitamin C, "It's not goodbye, it's a time to fly."
Peace.
Not sure how I'll approach the whole conclusion thing. I've found some of the more recent episodes a bit odd, and I've always had questions about the world of MLP:FIM that haven't been answered. I guess that will give me something to work on for stories. (hopefully the fandom doesn't head for the doors too fast) As to the final episode, I have no idea of when I'll be able to see it, and I admit I'm not in a hurry to.
