End of an Era

It seems that My Little Pony: Generation Four is finally over...

needless to say, this depressed me a lot. After seeing the final episode, and when I heard the song, I admittedly was getting ready to cry. I can't believe it went out like this, and it's probably no spoiler by this point, but it appears that Twilight might outlive her friends.

This, this is what killed it for me, the straw that broke the camel's back. Honestly, this was the biggest reason why I didn't watch the epilogue episode, when the three episodes were leaked early. I saw the Ending of the End part 1 and 2, but I refused to see the epilogue. I just wanted it to end with part 2, but seeing the characters I know and Love, become old, it’s something that just killed me within.

I don’t think I can accept this as the official ending. I just can’t. What were my thoughts on the song? Admittedly, it’s an alright song, but seeing them sing was something that made me weak on the inside, so when they reached near the end of the song, I was breaking, and after finishing it, it felt like there was a huge open wound in my heart and soul.

Ever since I was around the age of 13, or maybe 12; 2013 was a rough year for me personally. Although I don’t remember much from that year, since I’ve been through even rougher times, I remember 2013 as being the year being really rough on me. I don’t remember what it was about, I was somewhat upset that things felt the same, and it almost wasn’t worth it.

Then, I remember, vaguely, I remember seeing a preview for an episode of My Little Pony. It was after a movie got done playing, and was showing the credits. As I saw the preview somewhat, I heard my sister, who grew up with G3, comment that Rainbow Dash wasn’t violent, obviously referring to Rainbow of G3, I believe.

Ever since then, I grew interested in this pony, and with time... I discovered the community. I wasn’t sure at first, until 2014--the next year, in which I began to grow more and more interested. It’s here, I had gotten a crush on Rainbow.

In 2015 was when I officially became a brony. I didn’t join any websites at the time, and it was when I started to watch the show. Season 5 was a good Season in my opinion, and if the show ended there, I would’ve been alright with it. I remember falling back into darkness again, though, but this time, I was struggling with my emotions, and... personal stuff. After 15’, aside from MLP, it was a downward spiral with each new year.

To end things off, here we are now. I know this felt more like a life review and not so much of a thoughts blog, but I just really needed to detail some things, to give a bit more perspective.. I guess. After seven years of following the fandom, MLP changed me in different ways, especially Dash. And seeing them go, it makes me feel stuck in the void of things...

I’ve never seen a show with this much care and effort put into it, and to see this epilogue, I can’t bare to see such things happen...

You might notice some cuts here and there in the blog, I was ranting for almost an eternity, so I had to slim it down to be more coherent, to help you get an idea of how I felt with the Epilogue episode.
